Copper-Bottomed Fish Tanks For Safe Shellfish In Restaurants - 0 views

  •  
    "We showed that copper ions diffuse out from a brass plate into a fish tank filled with seawater, and within 40 hours the copper killed 99.99% of the Vibrio food poisoning bacteria contaminating the living fish and shellfish," says Dr Jeong-Weon Huh from the Department of Health Research, at Gyeonggi-do Institute of Health and Environment, Republic of Korea. The copper is absorbed by the bacteria, causing them to die and fall off the gills and skin of the fish. Vibrio are even flushed from the internal organs of the fresh fish, sinking to the bottom of the tank. The remaining copper ions are absorbed from the seawater in the tank by sand and polyester filters, leaving safe, clean fish ready to be eaten by restaurant diners. "By being able to remove the copper ions, we can prevent people from consuming excess copper themselves, but let them safely enjoy any kind of fish, either raw or cooked," says Dr Jeong-Weon Huh.

Center for Automotive Lightweighting - 0 views

  • Our objective is to develop the measurement methodology, standards and analysis necessary for the U.S. auto industry and base metal suppliers to transition to advanced lightweight materials for auto body components without wasteful trial-and-error development cycles, and successfully transfer this technology to our customers in industry. With this knowledge, the U.S. automotive industry will be able to transition to new advanced and lightweight materials more easily, as more accurate data and material models will lead to more accurate die designs, reducing die tryouts and new model development costs.

Cable Assembly and Wire Harness New Product Introductions - 0 views

  • February 2010—Siemon now offers 40+Gb/s SFF-8470 4X Passive Copper cabling products. These SFF-8470 copper cable assemblies support high-speed interconnect applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networking, and network storage systems. The low latency assemblies support data transfer rates from 2.5Gb/s to 10+ Gb/s per lane. Siemon’s 8470 cable assemblies feature a shielded wafer construction in which the signal conductors are directly attached to the connector’s contacts, eliminating a printed circuit board and enhancing noise-resistance to maximize signal integrity. The twin-axial shielded cable conductors are laser-welded, reducing cross-talk and jitter to support 10+Gb/s data rates. SFF-8470 die cast back shells and latches are interoperable with all compliant interfaces. The 8470 product supports a wide array of data protocols and interfaces, including InfiniBand SDR, DDR, and QDR, Ethernet 10GBaseCX4, and 40GBaseCR4. These cables also support FibreChannel, RapidIO, Myrinet, SAS, SATA, Aurora, VITA VXS, and XAUI/XAUI-2 IO interface links, as well as SONET/SDH. Product options include 24 to 30 wire gauges and various assembly lengths.

Die cast aluminum coils for efficient electric motors - 2 views

  •  
    Note that these coils could also be perfectly made out of copper, combining all the advantages of the new design with the advantages with copper. For bigger motors beyond pedelecs, such designs have been or are currently being developed (Copper Alliance worked in 2005-2010 with automotive OEMs in this area).
