Conveyor Lubrication Equipment

Lubrication Benefits:

· Extended Chain Life: Precise delivery of lubricant to the sliding and rolling elements of the chain provides extended life of the chain pins, links, sliding wear surfaces, and bearings.

· Overall Power Savings: Proper lubrication of the chain surfaces and rolling wheel components greatly reduces friction. This reduction in friction will result in a power savings by a decrease in amperage draw of the chain drive motor.

· Consistent Delivery: No puddling of lubrication on the chain or product as with conventional drip or brush lubricators.

· Reduced Lubrication Consumption: By applying the lubricant in small controlled quantities, where and when it’s needed, lubrication reductions of 50% to 90% are achieved over conventional chain lubrication systems.

· Accurate Lubricant Delivery: Strategically positioned spray tubes direct lubricant to the wear points with no overspray.

clipper's remarks: Now Choudary —who once called for the Pope to be executed and described the September 11 hijackers as "magnificent martyrs" — could face arrest under anti-terror laws for his evil ranting on the tape, which was passed to the News of the World.

Terrorism expert and author Neil Doyle said: "There is no doubt whatever this a rallying cry to would-be British terrorists.

"And this is the evidence from his own mouth. There's no doubt that the message he's preaching will eventually convince some impressionable people they should start planning 7/7-type atrocities.

"He's certainly becoming the most high-profile cheerleader for al-Qaeda in the UK."

When we spoke to Choudary he refused to discuss our recording but admitted he WAS on a recruitment drive.

He ranted: "I would like to recruit enough to turn the whole country into an Islamic state within a month...by tomorrow.

"You can put that down. I'm trying to recruit 5,000 a week."

Anjem Choudary and his wife rake in more than £25,000 a year in welfare BENEFITS—while he plots to destroy British society.

After hearing his latest inflammatory remarks, terror experts asked: "What more does this man need to do before he is locked up?"

Now our recording provides evidence the lunatic network remains active and is bent on expansion. Choudary reminds his fanatical followers: "Remember, our ultimate objective, apart from pleasing Allah, is domination of the sharia \ all over the world."

Experts believe Choudary's comments should see him prosecuted under tough new anti-terror incitement laws.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer said: "He's an extremely dangerous man. I've no doubt that he's part of the conveyor belt to terrorism and must be stopped."

"And this is the evidence from his own mouth. There's no doubt that the message he's preaching will eventually convince some impressionable people they should start planning 7/7-type atrocities.

Our Trash Circles the Globe: Combating E-Waste in India

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:22:44 GMT

clipped by: urbanlife
clipper's remarks: The fruits of our high-tech revolution are pure poison if these products are improperly disposed of at the end of their useful life.

The electronics industry is on the brink of a paradigm shift with respect to cost avoidance v/s risk avoidance.

Firms such as Eco-Reco are taking advantage of a booming but hazardous industry, where e-waste is usually dismantled by workers with little protection in recycling plants that have even fewer safety and environmental contamination guidelines.

In Mumbai, Eco-Reco will pick up your e-waste and at their plant, the e-waste then goes through a shredder on a conveyor belt, and the components are separated by a metal extractor. Workers then break up the plastic from the metal by hand. The entire system is based on the principles of clean environment and zero landfill.

Half a million tons of e-waste is generated annually in India and is a serious threat to people’s health and the environment.

E-waste in India is dismantled and recycled manually in a hazardous, unorganized and unsafe manner.

In India, the e-waste generated from computers, mobiles and other electronic gadgets is usually burned by poorly-protected workers in perilous conditions

This releases harmful toxins like mercury and lead into the atmosphere as serious occupational hazards and threats to the environment.

Giant trees 'to clear excess CO2'

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:06:27 GMT

clipped by: syncopath
clipper's remarks: "Dr. Wallace S. Broecker is perhaps the world's foremost interpreter of the Earth's operation as a biological, chemical, and physical system. He began his research in the 1950s with the development of techniques for measuring the radiocarbon content of ocean water and the ages and accumulation rates of deep sea and lake sediments, using this data to trace ocean circulation patterns over time."

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The scientist who coined the term "global warming" in the 1970s has proposed a radical solution to the problem of climate change.

Wallace Broecker advocated millions of "carbon scrubbers" - giant artificial trees to pull CO2 from the air.

"Okay, you say that's enormous, but we make 55 million cars a year, so if we really wanted to we could. Over 30 or 40 years we could easily make that number."

Clip Source: www.af-info.or.jp

While researching changes in the Earth's climate that occurred in the past 200,000 years, Dr. Broecker discovered that major climate shifts may have occurred much more rapidly than previously had been believed possible. For example, about 11,000 years ago in an event known as the Younger Dryas, temperatures in Northern Europe suddenly plummeted and remained low for about 1,000 years before snapping back to the warm conditions that exist today. The actual transition periods from warm to cold and back again may have taken as little as 20 years.

Athletes Rely on Gold Medal Science

Why Technology, Engineering and Psychology Matter En Route to Beijing

By KATE BARRETT
May 27, 2008

Olympic training centers around the country are essentially massive science fairs.

In Colorado Springs, Colo., swimmers train in a flume, the equivalent of a liquid treadmill, which allows them to adjust water current and simulate various altitudes.

In Charlotte, N.C., kayakers paddle in an

artificial water park where coaches can tinker with water flow, alter rapids by shifting underwater hydraulic gates, and transport kayakers to the start of a run via conveyor belt.

At Northern Arizona University's Center for High Altitude Training in Flagstaff, runners receive analyses of what their foot posture and gait mean for their performance.

Indeed, with eyes on Beijing, top athletes have their sports down to a science, and recent advances in science and technology mean competitors adhere to the Olympic motto of "faster, higher, stronger" like never before.

Personal robots have been a long time coming, but scientists now say we can expect revolutionary machines that surpass human physical and intellectual abilities within 22 years.

Today’s robots are mostly industrial types found in factories. An example would be an arm that inserts a product into a box and places it on a conveyor belt.

Robo-pets like Sony’s Aibo and NEC’s PaPeRo, priced from $2,000 to $5,000, are pleasing children and providing companionship for handicapped and elderly people around the globe.

Available soon in the $10,000 to $30,000 range will be human-like robots such as Sony Qrio, Honda Asimo, and Toyota Personal Robot.

These realistic marvels can speak and understand crude language, recognize family members by sight, and perform many butler, chef, and maid services.

Could we evolve into a human-cyber being? Absolutely, say futurists. By mid-2030s, we could be swapping frail biological bodies for powerful, immortal silicon versions.

Dramatic evidence of the break-up of the Arctic ice-cap has emerged from research during an expedition by the Canadian military.

The fate of the vast ice blocks is seen as a key indicator of climate change.

"We had 23% less (sea ice) last year than we've ever had, and what's happening to the ice shelves is part of that picture."

Human Caused Climate Change

clipper's remarks: Most educated people know that global warming is a misnomer. There are parts of the world that will cool while warming happens elsewhere. The key is to keep the oceanic conveyor belt stable so our climate remains fairly constant.

Earth Impacts Linked to Human-Caused Climate Change

A new NASA-led study shows that human-caused climate change has impacted a wide range of Earth's natural systems, from permafrost thawing to plants blooming earlier across Europe to lakes declining in productivity in Africa.

"This is the first study to link global temperature data sets, climate model results, and observed changes in a broad range of physical and biological systems to show the link between humans, climate, and impacts," said Rosenzweig, lead author of the study.

Next, the scientists conducted statistical tests and found that the spatial patterns of observed impacts closely match temperature trends across the globe, to a degree beyond what can be attributed to natural variability. So, the team concluded that observed global-scale impacts are very likely due to human-caused warming.

What is NATURMOBILNatur is the Latin root of the word ‘nature’. Drop the ‘e’, add a bit of what it does and there you have it – Naturmobil. It looks a bit like a modern stagecoach, in that, just like in the olden days, it’s run by a horse. But we haven’t added an engine, or any other fancy technology. The horse runs along on a conveyor belt, which then powers the vehicle. You still need a human at the steering wheel, of course! Essentially, Naturmobil could act as an advertising tool. Imagine your business or logo on the sides of such an eye-catching mode of transport!

Global warming could take a break in the next decade thanks to a natural shift in ocean circulation, scientists say.

But earth's temperature will rise as previously expected over the longer term, according to a study published today in the journal Nature.

The Gulf Stream will temporarily weaken over the next decade, in line with what has happened regularly in the past

This will lead to slightly cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic and in North America and Europe, and also help the temperatures in the tropical Pacific to remain stable

warming is unlikely to be a gradual trend, but a movement in stops and starts.

The main reason for this is that the oceans, the biggest store of heat, go through natural cycles of circulation.

You wouldn't bet on many things surviving a direct hit from a massive asteroid. Yet a few hardy microbes have been shown to live through a simulated smash, boosting the theory that life on Earth could have been seeded from another planet.

Large asteroids or comets that collide with rocky planets like Mars blast fragments into space, and some researchers reckon that this may feed a cosmic conveyor belt of life, in which streams of alien microbes travel from planet to planet inside meteoroids. However, no one had tested whether organisms could survive the extreme temperatures and pressures of the initial collision.

Jörg Fritz of Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, and colleagues picked three organisms that live in extreme habitats on Earth such as deserts, high mountains and polar regions: spores of Bacillus subtilis, Chroococcidiopsis bacteria, and the lichen Xanthoria elegans.

The team placed each of them in a "rock-organism ...
