Carmex Modular Deep Reach Toolholders deliver deep-hole threading capability without sacrificing quality
Designed for optimal strength, flexibility, and vibration-free performance, Carmex’s deep-reach toolholders offer maximum flexibility to multiple hole depths.
Prototype aqueous solar fl ow battery under development at The Ohio State University.
The solar fl ow battery could bridge a gap between today’s energy grid and sources of renewable energy. “This solar fl ow battery design can potentially be applied for grid-scale solar energy conversion and storage, as well as producing ‘electrolyte fuels’ that might be used to power future electric vehicles,” said Mingzhe Yu, lead author of the paper and a doctoral student at Ohio State. In tests, the researchers compared the solar fl ow battery’s performance to that of a typical lithium-iodine battery. They charged and discharged the batteries 25 times. Each time, both batteries discharged around 3.3 volts. The difference was that the solar fl ow battery could produce the same output with less charging. The typical battery had to be charged to 3.6 volts to discharge 3.3 volts. The solar fl ow battery was charged to only 2.9 volts, because the solar panel made up the difference. That’s an energy savings of nearly 20%.
Fuzzy Logic Assesses Lean Manufacturing
ust how lean are you? Lean, the experts remind us, is more than a set of tools: it’s an empowering culture of continuous improvement. But improvement needs to be recognized and charted in order to be learned from. If lean is a journey, what’s your odometer and speedometer?
