A single fiber-optic cable for OSP direct burial, drop and aerial scenarios
The outside plant (OSP) cable simplifies outdoor fiber-optic cable runs with a single cable rated for direct burial, fiber-to-the-home/fiber-to-the-business drops and aerial scenarios.
Video: Chain and sprockets drive this unique mechanical clock
This is certainly a different means to drive a mechanical timepiece.
Woof! PPE for working dogs
Here is some of the most important PPE that takes a dog from man's best friend to man's best colleague.
Seaweed-derived film proves effective sound dampener
The biodegradable seaweed-derived film reportedly dampens and absorbs sounds such as human voices, traffic and music, according to the researchers.
Understanding torque slip of induction motors
AC induction motors are not true constant-speed motors because of what engineers call “slip.” In addition, these motors behave differently under different torque and slip values.
Portfolio of hydrophobic polymers introduced by Alfa Chemistry
Hydrophobic polymers, which are insoluble in water, are generally used in the making of coatings, adhesives, fibers, films and engineered plastics.
Ammonia storage hazards and uses
Ammonia is an excellent refrigerant, but poses serious health and safety hazards when released into the working environment.
Coating heals vehicle scratches
Hindered urea — a dynamic covalent bond — was added to standard coating materials, thereby converting the chemical properties of the coating.
Sorting tech promises to turn the whole fish into food
The new sorting technology reportedly creates five distinct cuts from one fish, separating the filet from the so-called side streams — otherwise known as the raw materials, wastewater, excess energy and chemicals that are typically wasted following the manufacturing process.
A climate action tool to measure and manage emissions
The online tool was developed to help companies measure progress in reaching greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
How to do an industrial safety self-assessment
Risk assessments do not have to be an onerous overhead; self-assessment using competent employees offers businesses a pragmatic solution. Plenty of resources are available to support this process, and once up and running will require minimal effort to maintain.
