Water Conditioners seem to be the latest trend on the water treatment market, but are they all they’re cracked up to be? Depending on what you are looking for in a water treatment product, they might not be. Without the proper information, you may end up with a water treatment system that doesn’t fit your needs.
Water Conditioner vs Water Softeners – The Basics
A water conditioner, sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “salt-free water softener”, does address some of the problems associated with hard water, but they do not produce soft water. A water conditioner works to temporarily change the chemistry of hardness particles, resulting in a reduction of scale build-up in plumbing, for a certain amount of time. A water conditioner will remove additional chemicals, such as chlorine, from your water, and wastes less water than a water softener.
Conversely, a water softener removes hardness particles from your water. The result is a reduction of scale build-up on fixtures and appliances, softer skin and hair, and reduced soap and detergent use.
How Does a Water Softener Work?
A water softener uses an ion exchange process to remove hardness particles, such as calcium, magnesium, and limestone, from your water. As hard water passes through a bed of softening resin, hardness minerals are attracted to the resin and removed from the water. Over time, the resin becomes covered in these minerals and needs to be cleaned – this process is called regeneration. During regeneration, the water softener is flooded with water from the brine tank. The saltwater cleans the hardness minerals off the resin and flushes them down the drain, leaving the resin clean and ready to soften water again.
How Does a Water Conditioner Work?
A water conditioner “conditions” water by changing the chemistry of hardness particles for a certain amount of time. There are several types of water conditioners, using a variety of technologies. Here are examples of the most types of water conditioners.
- Electrically induced precipitation uses an electrical current to precipitate water hardness compounds. The hardness precipitate forms a soft sludge on an electrode that must be cleaned from time to time.
- Electrochemical water treatment uses electricity to dissolve hardness minerals and other contaminants in water.
- Template-assisted crystallization uses surface-treated resin beads to convert dissolved hardness ions into microscopic scale-resistant crystals. This type of system does not remove hardness.
- Magnetic water treatment passes hard water through a magnetic field to form microscopic crystals that will not form scale on plumbing and fixtures. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of this type of treatment.
Salt-free Water Softeners
Sometimes water conditioners are referred to as salt-free water softeners. This is an incorrect and misleading title. The truth is, there is no such thing as a salt-free water softener. Salt is an integral part of a water softener’s regeneration process and without it, a water softener would stop working effectively.
Remember that water conditioners are installed to stop build-up in plumbing, not soften your water. Their effectiveness ranges greatly, depending on which technology they are built upon. It is important that consumers who are interested in water conditioners thoroughly consider what their water treatment concerns are, and investigate the product claims of the system they are considering.
If you are considering a water treatment system, of any kind, an important first step is to have your water tested. A test performed by a water treatment expert will determine the condition of your source water and help you to determine which system is right for you. Your local Water Depot Water Treatment Experts perform free in-house or in-store water testing for water hardness, iron levels, pH level, total dissolved solids, clarity, colour, and odour.

Is your air conditioning system having issues? There is no need to worry; the systems usually experience problems with time. Like any other system you have in your home; the air conditioner is bound to breakdown at times. If you installed the system ten years ago, then it also means that it may require replacement in the next few years. During the installations, repair, or replacements, you may need to hire an air conditioning company to help. The company you hire to work in your system determines greatly whether it will work or not. As you search for the best air conditioning system, here are a few things you should look out for.
Experience and licensing
Your air conditioning system may be the most expensive device in your home. You should make sure that whoever works on it has the right training on how it is designed and how it works. All air conditioning companies should have proper licenses to be allowed to offer their services in your area. So, before you begin the consultations, make sure that you check they have a valid license. They should also have vast experience in the industry to ensure that they offer you 100 percent satisfaction with their services. A vastly experienced air conditioning company can provide you with high-quality work since they have gained a lot of knowledge during the years they have been in the industry. Besides, make sure that they have an insurance cover that protects you against liabilities and other issues that may occur as they work on your system.
Referrals and references
Another way you can spot the best air conditioning and heating specialists in Cairns is through referrals and references. You need to ask about the quality of the services they provide and the level of efficiency. You should ask if the company did high-quality installations and showed respect to the property owners. This is the best way to understand the company’s reputation because you get information from people who have worked with them on their projects. Check whether there are complaints about them and also how they react to negative comments that may be given by their clients.
Cost of the services
It is also good to consider the price your potential air conditioning company charges for the services they provide. The company you hire should charge a price that matches the budget you have set aside for the work. It is necessary you take into consideration the quality of work provided, even as you consider pricing. If you focus solely on price, you may end up choosing a cheap company offering low-quality air conditioning services. Get full quotes during the consultation process so that you do not get bombarded by hidden costs, increasing the price at the end of the project.
Working with an air conditioning company located nearest your home is the best option. This ensures that in case an issue arises, you can call them and access your property fast. Working with a local air conditioning system also ensures that you can develop a better working relationship that enables them to charge you a discounted price for the airconditioning services provided. In case of an emergency, you can also get quick help when you work with a local company.

The dynamic 3D-printing landscape is a challenge to navigate for industry experts, and even more so for individuals who have no idea of the capabilities, limitations, and idiosyncrasies of the various technologies. Further adding complexity, 3D-printing procedures don’t translate comparably with conventional manufacturing technology always, once the material output is virtually exactly the same even. This is typically because of the dissimilar build parameters, environment, and material delivery methodology. To learn the nuances, you must grasp the basics behind each technologies and know the full spectral range of available material options.
This article can help you determine the technologies and materials that are right for your application. Many 3D-printing processes are in use today, but for the purposes of this article, we will only touch on the most commonly used in design and manufacturing engineering today: photocuring, filament deposition, polymer laser sintering, and direct metal laser beam sintering.
This band of 3D-printing processes employs liquid photopolymer resins which are solidified and cured with ultraviolet (UV) light, to serve as models mostly, light-duty prototypes, and patterns for secondary casting. Photopolymers differ in colour, transparency, and mechanical and thermal attributes, which range from low-temperature soft and versatile elastomers to tough and rigid nanocomposites in a position to withstand elevated temperatures. For example, Somos NanoTool, a composite stereolithography (SL) material, has a heat deflection of up to 437°F at 66 psi.
An advantage of photocuring is the refined quality of the output. Photocuring processes produce parts with smooth surfaces and fine-feature detail-16-micron layer elevation with PolyJet-ideal for aesthetic plus cosmetic applications. However , UV durability and balance falls short for high-efficiency and end-use product applications. Continued contact with UV light causes photocured objects to become brittle and change in appearance. In addition, some materials can lose shape and dimensional accuracy from humidity absorption and sag or creep from prolonged stress.
The two nearly all used photocuring technologies are PolyJet and SL widely. PolyJet deposits tiny droplets of photopolymer and treatments the thin layers with UV lighting simultaneously. This process can print in a very high resolution with layer thicknesses as thin as 16 microns, which minimizes post-processing. Also called multi-jet printing, PolyJet is one of the only technologies with the ability to print multiple materials in one print with varying durometers.
On the other hand, SL builds 3D objects layer upon layer by using an UV laser to draw and solidify cross-sectional slices in a vat of liquid resin. It as well can produce smooth components requiring minimal finishing, but will not offer multi-material printing. Multi-jetting and SL have minimal shrink-associated deformation typically. Finally, both processes are perfect for producing casting patterns targeted at silicone urethane and tooling casting, and sacrificial patterns for expense casting.
Guided by software- generated toolpaths, the filament-deposition processes develop 3D objects by drawing cross-sectional slices of parts one upon another via a heated extruder head. One chief advantage of filament deposition is the ability to produce strong and durable functional prototypes and end-use parts in a variety of high-performance materials popular in typical machining and molding manufacturing procedures.
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) may be the many mature and widely followed filament deposition process. FDM can maintain dimensional accuracy over length while having the opportunity to save material and weight. Some companies will post a general tolerance of ±0. 008 inches; however , it’s hard to give an exact number or even a range because of this accuracy because it depends upon the machine, material, geometry, and size of the part. In addition, FDM is less prone to warp and curl than laser sintering.
The most significant drawback of filament deposition is the pronounced layer ranges in the surface of its output. It necessitates even more effort than various other 3D-printing technologies to even the areas and create aesthetic qualities much like conventional manufacturing procedures, such as for example injection molding. Additionally , applications that demand airtight or watertight functionality may necessitate a denser build style, which increases build time and material consumption, and/or software of a sealant to alleviate surface porosity.
Polymer Laser Sintering
These practical processes fuse or melt powdered polymers and composites with a low wattage CO2 laser that sinters cross-sections of 3D objects layer upon layer. Polymer laser-sintering (LS) materials mainly have bases of Nylon 12 and Nylon 11, with a number of filler options such as for example glass beads, mineral fibers, and carbon fiber, which supply substantial durability and strength for useful prototyping and end-use part creation.
Other specialty materials that assist niche applications include thermoplastic elastomer, which can have rubber-like qualities for prototype hoses, grommets and seals. Also, low-density polystyrene infiltrated with wax can offer as a low-ash expense casting.
Another benefit of LS is that 3D objects are self-supporting within the construct chamber, enabling three-dimensional nesting. Efficient and affordable production of complex geometries with internal cavities and channels are feasible with LS without the need to remove supports.
The thermal nature of the process and absence of supports to anchor laser-sintered objects makes them more prone to warp during the build or cool- down cycle. In addition, an inverse relationship often exists between your mechanical strength and dimensional precision of the output. Laser energy and build chamber temperature boost to optimize particle adhesion, and create a stronger part. However , increased temperatures and power could cause expansion; the walls and top features of a right part may become oversized, warp, and curl. Generally, dimensional problems arise with higher laser-power and powder-bed temps. That’s because more of the surrounding powder sticks to the sintered/melted part, which causes the surfaces to grow and walls to thicken.
This commonly results in fitment problems with mating parts. Yet, encountered LS operators might be able to adjust laser offsets, adjust build orientation, and change the design to work much better with the process.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Using an yttrium-aluminum-garnet-fiber laser, generally referred to as a YAG-fiber laser, metal laser-sintering systems essentially micro-weld powdered metals and alloys layer upon coating to produce fully dense 3D objects with qualities similar to castings. Through post processes, such as heat-treating and scorching isostatic pushing (HIP), it’s possible to boost metallurgical properties for high-performance programs.
There are several benefits to direct-metal-laser-sintering (DMLS) forms of processes more than conventional manufacturing methodologies, like their ability to produce complicated contoured geometries without too much tooling or programming costs. The additive nature of 3D printing saves weight and materials , and offers greener manufacturing in comparison to casting and deductive processes.
In addition , 3D printing can consolidate assemblies, reducing the real number of components that may reduce work cost and fasteners, and simplify a product. Benefiting from these features with the DMLS process is ideal for low-volume manufacturing of end-use parts and products, and high-performance functional prototypes.
On the downside, the learning curve to build quality DMLS products and parts is substantial. An educated technician or designer should comprehend how to work with a CAD design to verify a print is economically practical before it would go to print. An experienced operator will have to develop effective build ways of mitigate warping and minimize assistance structures. Furthermore, for optimal dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finishing, and tiny features, DMLS users often have to utilize more sophisticated post-processing and finishing systems, such as CNC machining, wire EDM, chemical etching, liquid honing, tumbling, media blasting or coating.
A trained staff can display screen and qualify the very best materials and processes for every customer’s specific programs and needs. There isn’t an individual technology well-suited for every program, and there isn’t usually a clear-cut answer for a customer’s specific needs. Often multiple options could work, each with a different set of pros and cons. The following seven considerations will help you qualify and disqualify procedures and materials for every of your unique projects:
1 . Program: What is the goal of the object?
The intent for 3D-printed objects could range between aesthetic show models and mock-ups, to functional prototypes, R&D test pieces, or end-use production parts and products. The requirements of each of these applications can vary greatly, and therefore are better suited to some processes. It boils down to cosmetic often, dimensional, or performance requirements.
2 . Efficiency: What does the part should do?
A 3D-printed part may should just hold form as a static design or bear a detailed resemblance to a conventionally manufactured product with fine detail and smooth surfaces. In this case, PolyJet or stereolithography may be the ideal process. Hard-working parts that must bear a load or resist impact could be better suitable for the FDM procedure. If the application involves simple fit or long lasting living hinge, LS may be the better option.
3. Stability: In what atmosphere does the part have to function?
The necessity to maintain properties and function in higher temperatures rules out some 3D-printing processes and materials. In addition , outdoor applications need an UV-stable material such as for example acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or durable laser-sintered nylon with an UV-inhibitive coating. Photopolymers won’t work very well for outdoor environments because they react to UV light. Moisture is another common factor that adversely affects many materials. If biocompatibility is essential for a surgical device, metals then, such as for example titanium Ti-64 for electron or DMLS beam melting may be the best, if not the only real, option.
4. Durability: Just how long does the part have to last?
The number and duration useful cycles can eliminate some processes and materials. For example , a 3D- printed mold or form tool may need to go through hundreds of cycles and withstand prolonged stress and friction, whereas a fit-check prototype may only need to function once. Photopolymer materials are often effective for short-term, low-stress applications and are struggling to withstand prolonged stress typically. Built thermoplastics from the FDM and LS procedures can serve many useful prototyping and end-use reasons for increased cycle life.
5. Aesthetics: How does it have to look and feel?
It is possible to generally expect photocured 3D items to be fairly smooth and also have high resolution right off of the machine, and can easily be hand-finished to a cosmetic state. While thermoplastic and powdered plastic processes such as FDM and LS produce stronger and more durable parts, cosmetically they shall require even more labor and skill to attain a smooth surface, resulting in higher costs and increased prospect time. With the tough alloys and metals of DMLS, it takes much more time, effort, and expertise to produce a polished look.
6. Economics: What is your budget, timeline, and quality expectation?
In case you have a firmly capped budget, the decision may be on price rather than other factors. Time and quality come in conflict collectively often; rapid turnaround and high-level aesthetic finishing could be exclusive mutually. However , shortcuts, workarounds, and efficient systems can reduce lead expenses and times while maintaining top quality standards. Efficiencies could be gained from working with something bureau that may creatively batch, nest, strategically section, shell, adjust fill, and modify build orientation to reduce machine time and material usage.
7. Priorities: Of all these aspects, which is the most important?
Ultimately, you must consider all factors and decide on those that are most important to attain the primary objectives and project targets. There are many competing requirements often, however your main priorities should drive your choice and filter the 3D-publishing material and technology options. If you have a brief timeline, economics may be the determining factor. If longevity is the priority, strength may be the determining factor.
Selecting the perfect material and technology for the project is vital to maximizing success. The primary indicate remember is that the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t apply to 3D printing. It is essential that you either invest time to learn the pros, cons, and nuances of the major processes, materials, and post processes, or find a target partner or expert who gets the know-how and experience to provide you with sound guidance.

Lindenhofje – Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The buildings on the Lindengracht 94-112, located in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, have been used to provide care since the founding of Lindenhofje in 1616. Today, the buildings provide shelter and function as a nursing home for child care. Lindenhofje is part of the Salvation Army in Amsterdam. Ten severely or chronically ill children can stay here permanently or temporarily, when for example parents are not able to provide the children with intensive care from home.
Although the existing fire alarm system, smoke detectors, etc, meet the building fire protection requirements, the owner still opted to install water tap sprinklers because they offer extra security in case the building has to be evacuated due to a fire.
Children are normally not able to save themselves. However, the sprinklers fight the fire directly and will reduce the fire in the core, creating a longer flight and escape time. This extra flight time is very important, especially during evening and night shifts, when there are fewer people in the house.
In total about 300 sprinklers have been installed over three floors, covering all the children’s playrooms, the office rooms and other spaces.


The Optiflex® 3 Knee CPM is typically used postoperatively for Total Knee Replacement and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repairs. After extensive joint surgery, if a patient fails to move the joint, tissue around the joint will become stiff and scar tissue will form, resulting in a joint with limited range of motion. By repeatedly flexing and extending the affected joint through a prescribed range of motion for an extended period of time, the OptiFlex® 3 CPM device lessens the adverse effects of immobilization and trauma on the knee joint.
- The ultra-wide carriage is engineered to accommodate the normal knee patient, as well as the large size adult, the athlete and even pediatric patients.
- The open-frame architecture is not only visually appealing but also therapeutically functional.
- Addresses patient pain threshold by providing therapy at a reduced flexion angle limit.
- Eliminates time-consuming adjustments by automatically increasing daily range of motion.

The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch stands out not only with its heavy build quality but also due to its superb attention to details but above all, it’s the top-whack chronograph that steals the show!
The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch gets its name from the World War II, US naval unit (Frogmen) whose primary job was to prepare safe landings for troops and supplies at sensitive zones and takes you back to those days with its vintage, military appeal and retro touches all over. Complete with canteen-styled screw-down crown protectors, this is the watch you can actually take to the bottom of the sea.
The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is influenced by the Khaki Frogman Auto Chronowatch and merges style seamlessly with functionality and in the process, makes both of them prominent instead of so many others that water down one feature in favour of the other.
A surprising aspect of the Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is the Swiss automatic movement inside has been specially positioned; it rests at an inclined angle and got two pushers integrated into a single hole. The crown protectors are not the usual kind you see in other watches; they are Hamilton’s unique way of ensuring the water resistance to make the watch completely fail safe. The sturdy cross protection at the rear is a reminiscent of vintage diving suits.
The grade 5 titanium build of the Khaki Frogman Auto Chrono makes it 30% stronger than an equal volume of steel and cuts down the weight to half. It is also more resistant to corrosion, which is a must if you are spending more time amidst salt water. The high-tech look comes from the sand-blasted finish and the magnifying windows, which indicate the brand’s long diving tradition.
The Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Patrol Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch nests a 7750 Valjoux self-winding chronograph movement inside, which is also the most preferred mechanical chronograph movement today. It uses a three-plane (mainplate, calendar plate, and chronograph top plate) cam system which replaces the column wheel. The stopwatch (chronograph) uses a coulisse-lever escapement and is activated and deactivated with levers that push a cam (a rotating disk shaped to convert circular motion into linear) back and forth, putting into use the 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph functions. The hours, minutes and the centre 60-seconds hand operate separately.
The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is also one of the few to feature a domed sapphire crystal and the cross-shaped structure on the case back acts as a reinforcement, which increases the durability of the watch. Even the window borders are made from solid titanium, which is definitely a notch above from other so called titanium watches that just stop at the case.
So, is the Hamilton Thin-O-Matic H77746333 Mens Watch meant for you? Definitely, if adventure – be it of any kind, even water-related (for you can take it down to under 500 feet) – is a part of your life! If not, then you’ll be wearing just a piece of history.

Portable air conditioners are a convenient solution for cooling smaller spaces or areas where traditional central air conditioning systems may not be feasible. Understanding how these portable units function and being aware of common issues can help users maximize their efficiency and longevity. In this article, we’ll delve into the inner workings of portable air conditioners, highlight some key maintenance tips, and explore the benefits of air conditioning hire services compared to purchasing your own unit.
How Portable Air Conditioners Work
Contrary to popular belief, air conditioners don’t generate cold air; instead, they work by removing heat from the air in a room, thereby cooling it down. This process involves several key components working together seamlessly.
One of the central components of a portable air conditioner is the compressor. This part acts as the “muscle” of the unit, responsible for pumping refrigerant throughout the system. Refrigerant, often referred to as freon, is a substance that can readily absorb heat. As the compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, it becomes very hot, hotter than the surrounding air in the room.
The heated refrigerant then flows through coils, known as the condenser coils, where it releases heat into the surrounding environment with the help of a fan. This process causes the refrigerant to condense into a liquid form. Next, the liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, which depressurizes it and cools it down significantly. This cooled refrigerant then flows through another set of coils, the evaporator coils, where it absorbs heat from the air in the room. The now-heated refrigerant is then cycled back to the compressor to repeat the process.
A fan or blower plays a crucial role in the air conditioning process by circulating air over the coils. Depending on the direction of airflow, the unit either blows out cool air into the room or expels hot air outside through an exhaust tube.
Common Issues and Maintenance Tips
While portable air conditioners offer convenience, they are not immune to issues that can affect their performance. Here are some common problems users may encounter and maintenance tips to address them:
- Dirty Coils and Filters: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser and evaporator coils, reducing the unit’s efficiency. Similarly, air filters can become clogged, hindering airflow.
- Exhaust Tube Blockages: The exhaust tube is essential for expelling hot air outside. Blockages or kinks in the tube can restrict airflow, causing the unit to overheat.
- Compressor Issues: If the compressor fails to start or is not functioning correctly, the air conditioner may not cool effectively. Checking for any burnt-out relays or connections on the circuit board can help identify compressor issues. However, handling electrical components requires caution, and it may be best to seek professional assistance for repairs.
- Fan Motor Problems: A malfunctioning fan motor can prevent air from circulating properly, leading to uneven cooling or inadequate cooling. If the fan is not spinning, it could indicate a motor issue that requires attention from a technician.
- Accumulated Condensation: Portable air conditioners produce condensation as they remove moisture from the air. Excess condensation can collect in the unit’s accumulator, potentially causing damage if not drained periodically.
Benefits of Air Conditioning Hire Service
While purchasing a portable air conditioner may seem like a straightforward solution, opting for an air conditioning hire service can offer several advantages:
Cost-Effective: Hiring a portable air conditioner eliminates the need for a significant upfront investment. Instead of purchasing a unit outright, users can pay a rental fee, which may be more budget-friendly, especially for short-term cooling needs or occasional use.
Flexibility: Air conditioning hire services offer flexibility in terms of unit selection and duration of use. Users can choose the most suitable portable air conditioner for their specific requirements, whether it’s for cooling a single room or an entire space.
Maintenance and Support: When renting a portable air conditioner, maintenance and support are often included as part of the service. This means that any issues or malfunctions can be promptly addressed by the rental provider, relieving users of the responsibility of troubleshooting and repairs.
Professional Installation: Air conditioning hire services typically offer professional installation by trained technicians. This ensures that the portable air conditioner is set up correctly and operates efficiently, maximizing cooling performance and energy efficiency.
In conclusion, portable air conditioners offer a convenient cooling solution for various applications, from residential spaces to commercial environments. By understanding how these units work and being aware of common issues, users can ensure optimal performance and longevity. Additionally, exploring the benefits of air conditioning hire services can provide cost-effective and flexible cooling solutions without the commitment of purchasing a unit outright. Whether for short-term cooling needs or long-term comfort solutions, portable air conditioners and air conditioning hire services offer versatility and convenience for users seeking reliable cooling comfort.

Impressions are used to transfer the three dimensional spatial relationship of implant(s) to the laboratory so that a prosthesis may be constructed.
The impression technique should confer to the technician the position of the implant, its angle and orientation and relate the relationship of the implant to other relevant structures such as bone, teeth, other implants and soft tissues.
It is important that the impression should accurately record the head of the implant or abutment in a way that allows for precise duplication. The choice of the material used impacts on the accuracy with recommendation being given to medium consistency polyether and high consistency addition silicones. (1)
The impression record should be accurate, dimensionally stable, resist rotational force and reproducible (1).
It has been demonstrated in a multiple implant impression situation, that the transfer copings when splinted with an acrylic resin were more accurate than when acrylic was not used and this reinforced when non smooth, angular impression transfer copings were used. (2,5).
Transfer of implant position may be achieved by taking an impression of the head of the implant using;
1. Screw retained impression coping technique, either open tray or closed tray. The open tray impression technique requires the insertion of an impression post into the head of the implant. This post is then secured with a pin. The impression is taken with the securing pin passing through a prepared hole in the impression tray and when set; the securing pin is removed allowing the impression to be withdrawn, the impression post being securely retained in the set impression. The technician inserts a matched implant analogue onto the impression coping and the model is cast.
Advantage: Simple technique. Dentist does not need to hold a stock of abutments. Ideal in poor access situations or patients with strong gag reflex. The prosthetic (crown) should accurately fit the abutment as it has been made on the abutment present.
Disadvantage: Increased laboratory cost, laboratory decide on position of margins. Implant replicas are not identical to the implant and so micro positional error can occur which may be significant when planning splinted cases as the abutment position and orientation may differ slightly when comparing the model to the intra oral position. Splinted cases may require sectioning and re-soldering in the metalwork stage to ensure the “Sheffield test” criteria are met.
A closed tray impression post involves the placement of an impression post as a single unit being inserted into the head of the implant and an impression taken with a special tray. The impression is removed and the closed tray impression post removed from the implant, fitted with a matched implant replica and re-positioned into the impression before casting.
Advantages are as with the open tray technique. Easier to use further back in the mouth where it may not be possible to remove the securing screw from an open tray impression post.
Disadvantage. Implant replicas are not as accurate as the placed implant. Also difficulty may noted in re-fixing the impression post into the impression and this can result in the restoration produced being high in the occlusion and create significant discrepancies with regard to rotational inaccuracies(3) The possibility of non identical replication of position is a concern, particularly in multiple unit placement.
Some operators have developed a technique of using the implant carrier as an effective closed tray impression technique.
In a bounded saddle situation it is possible to transfer the information required by using pattern resin to locate the position of the implant to adjacent teeth.
The technique involves, prior to placement, taking an accurate planning cast. At placement, pattern resin is used to connect the carrier to adjacent teeth. No impression at operation is taken. The carrier is then removed and fitted with an implant analogue and the pre-operative model modified to allow placement of the analogue in the correct position once the pattern resin matrix is fitted over the adjacent teeth.
Advantage: Cross infection control issues are minimized, quick, simple, and inexpensive. Disadvantage; manipulation of soft tissues is compromised as it is difficult to assess the soft tissue contour; implant replica may not be accurate.
“Clip in” or “snap over” closed tray impression caps are available from some implant manufacturers. These manufacturers have produced plastic caps that “push fit” onto the head of the implant and or implant abutment. A standard silicone impression is taken and an implant abutment replica fitted into the impression cap along with implant replica prior to casting.
Advantage; quick and easy.
Disadvantage; inaccuracy of fit due to multiple transfer errors. (impression, plastic cap, inaccuracy of replica). In addition machined tolerances between implant components range from 20-1001.tm, and that second generation components have a lower tolerance than first generation components. (4)
The above techniques may be applied at first stage surgery. i.e. at time of implant placement, or after an appropriate healing period. If these techniques are applied at first stage surgery consideration must be given to the issues surrounding infection control.
Information may also be transferred to the laboratory once an abutment has been placed and this may be achieved by;
Securing the abutment in place so that it may be regarded as in the final position and conventional preparation of the abutment may be made followed by conventional crown and bridge impression technique. This technique reduces the errors associated with component and replica tolerances but can limit operator in management of the soft tissues.
Securing an abutment into position and taking an impression. Once the impression has set the abutments may be removed and implant analogues fixed to the abutments before the abutments are re-inserted into the impression and cast. Errors can occur when using a replica analogue (4) and repositioning the abutment into the impression i.e. acting as a closed tray impression component. In addition, precise placement of the implant abutment into the exact position it was in at the time the impression was taken is unpredictable even when using an indexed system.

"If you can fabricate them on orbit, you can launch the raw material in a much more compact form, and you can design them for the microgravity environment of space rather than the tens of Gs of launch," he said. "The combination of reduction in launch volume and mass, and the ability to make it bigger than you could possibly fold up into a rocket, means you can get an order of magnitude improvements of performance in cost."
Tethers Unlimited is focused on creating what's call a trusselator, a machine that takes spools of carbon fiber material and knits it together to build high-performance carbon fiber trusses, which can be used to build antennas or solar arrays.
So far, a prototype trusselator has been used to build a truss that was more than 52-feet long.
The 3D printers needed to build these large structures in space would look and function much differently.
"It isn't a typical 3D printer," Hoyt said. "The printers people use now are typically a big box that can make something smaller than that box. We want to have a tool that can make something much, much larger than itself. We're trying to figure out how to turn the 3D printer inside out. We need a tool that can act like a tiny spider building up a big web. And we have to figure out how to control the temperature of the materials while we're processing them — and doing this in orbit where the temperatures vary by hundreds of degrees. That's a big challenge we need to address."
A big step for the company will be to test the manufacturing platform on the International Space Station in several years.

Because of the work being carried out on the Enhancement and Development Plan (PAMV) for the south sector of Île Sainte-Hélène, which is taking place close to the Aquatic Complex, the pools in the Complex will be closed for the 2017 season.
After extensive analyses, thoughts and discussions with the engineers and architects involved in this project, we agreed we would be unable to ensure a safe environment for our clientele and employees, nor could we offer a customer experience that meets our usual high standards.
During the time span the Complex is closed this summer, swimmers will still be able to take a refreshing dip in the Jean-Doré Beach, at Parc Jean-Drapeau.
Frequently Asked Questions
We decided to close the Aquatic Complex in 2017 because it is located just beside the sector where the renovations will be occurring on Île Sainte‑Hélène in conjunction with the execution of work pertaining to the enhancement and development plan (PAMV).
After many analyses, thoughts and discussions with the engineers and architects involved in the project, we agreed it would be impossible to ensure a safe environment for our clientele and employees in 2017, nor would we be able to offer a customer experience that meets our usual high standards.
The Aquatic Complex is situated next to the PAMV construction site and is in the direction of the prevailing winds. The construction work will inevitably generate noise (demolition, excavation, foundation work), vibrations and a considerable amount of dust, which will affect the clientele. Not to mention the high amount of traffic from the trucks and heavy equipment in this particular area.
Added to this are other works, including the installation of a retaining wall to ensure the stability of the Complex's infrastructures due to the construction of a new mechanic ventilation well and the replacing of Île Sainte‑Hélène main aqueduct system, which explains our difficulty in being able to maintain the water quality of the pools.
The water quality of the pools will be affected and the dust might damage the filtration system, which could lead to sporadic or prolonged closures of the pools. And, the overall safety of pool users might be jeopardized (ex: noise, murky water, making it difficult for lifeguards to do their job).
The dust generated by the work during the week puts the water filtration system of the pools at risk, to the extent that we are simply unable to refill the pools for the 2017 season.
Moreover, it's possible the contractor will be working on the site on weekends. We can't take the risk of planning for the opening of the pools if there is work being conducted.
The Aquatic Complex will be open for the 2018 season.
We didn't have all the required information at the time to make a definite decision. Our intention at the time was to keep the Aquatic Complex open, but the details about the type of work that needed to be done and the related risks convinced us otherwise.
Synchronized swimming, swimming, water-polo, diving and triathlon.
In the fall of 2016, we notified the Federations and Sports Clubs that, due to the PAMV work, it would not be possible to hold events at the Aquatic Complex.
We worked with the City of Montréal's sports department to try to come up with alternative solutions to relocate them, and help them stage their respective events. As of now, all of the affected sports federations have been relocated.
The federations will train at Parc Olympique and the Sports Clubs were relocated to various Montréal boroughs thanks to a collaboration with the City of Montréal's sports department, which allowed us to find other venues for the Sports Clubs' training sessions.
Since the decision that was made was based on facts relating to the safety of the users and Parc Jean-Drapeau's operations, consulting with the sports federations to reach a decision was not possible.
The temporary closure is inevitable considering the work which has to be done for the PAMV, a project announced in 2015 and one which has a very positive impact for the Parc.
The Aquatic Complex's clients can continue to come and swim at Parc Jean-Drapeau this summer, at the Jean-Doré Beach. Situated on Île Notre-Dame, Jean-Doré Beach provides open-water swimming for training sessions, and has a huge area for recreational swimming.
The admission price for both facilities is the same, so the Beach will be just as accessible for Montrealers to come for a refreshing dip. We are also working with other aquatic facility operators to redirect the clientele.

Isis Shiffer, a recent graduate from the Pratt Institute of Design in New York City, set out to address this problem. Her solution: EcoHelmet, a folding, recyclable helmet for bike share users.
EcoHelmet uses a unique honeycomb configuration to protect the head from impact, and folds flat when not in use. A biodegradable coating makes it resistant to rain for up to three hours. The lightweight, durable design of EcoHelmet empowers cyclists to ride safely and confidently.
The cell structure of EcoHelmet distributes any impact evenly around the head as effectively as a traditional polystyrene helmet. Due to the radial nature of the cells, it will protect the user from a blow coming from any direction. The simplicity of EcoHelmet’s construction, coupled with its inexpensive materials, will keep the manufacturing costs low – meaning they can be sold for $5 at bike share stations.
“I was lucky enough to be studying at Royal College of Art and the Imperial College of London for a semester, and was granted access to Imperial’s crash lab,” says Isis. “They had a European standard helmet crash setup that allowed me to gather enough data on Ecohelmet’s proprietary honeycomb configuration to know it was viable and worth developing.”
As international winner of the James Dyson Award 2016, Isis will be awarded $45,000 to further develop her invention.
“EcoHelmet solves an obvious problem in an incredibly elegant way. But its simplicity belies an impressive amount of research and development,” says James Dyson. “I look forward to seeing EcoHelmets used in bike shares across the world.”
There are also two international runners up in the James Dyson Award 2016: Smart Contact Len Platform and Respia.
Smart Contact Lens Platform is uses state-of-the-art engineering and nanotechnology to create a contact lens with a sensor that can continuously monitor its user’s glucose levels. After analysing the concentration of glucose in the user’s tear film, the sensor transmits its readings to the user’s mobile phone so they can better manage their diabetes treatment. It was designed by a team of students from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
Respia is an asthma management system that tracks and records the user’s respiratory health and medication use. It is a complete redesign of existing aerosol inhalers, coupled with the world’s first wearable patch that tracks respiratory health. It was designed by Katherine Kawecki, a student of industrial design from the University of New South Wales, Australia.

Understanding Manual Garage Door Mechanisms
In this section, we will delve into the components that make up a manual garage door system. It is essential to understand the inner workings of these mechanisms to ensure safe and effective operation, especially in situations where power is unavailable.
Components of a Manual Garage Door System
A manual garage door system consists of several key components that work together to facilitate manual operation. These components include:
- Door Springs: These provide the necessary tension to counterbalance the weight of the door.
- Tracks and Rollers: The door moves along the tracks with the help of rollers, allowing smooth and controlled motion.
- Hinges: These connect the individual sections of the door, enabling it to bend and follow the track.
- Emergency Release Cord: This cord serves as a crucial safety feature that disconnects the door from the automated mechanism, allowing manual operation in the event of a power outage or malfunction.
- Handle and Lock: The handle provides a grip for manual operation, and the lock secures the door when not in use.
Understanding the function and location of these components is vital for safe and efficient manual operation of the garage door.
How the Emergency Release Cord Works
The emergency release cord is a critical part of a manual garage door system. It is designed to disengage the door from the automated opener, allowing manual operation when power is unavailable. The function of the emergency release cord is as follows:
- Locate the emergency release cord, which is typically hanging from the garage door opener rail or near the door itself.
- Gently pull the emergency release cord to disconnect the door from the opener mechanism. This will render the opener inoperable and allow for manual operation.
- Once the emergency release cord is pulled, the door can be manually raised or lowered by hand.
This emergency release mechanism provides a reliable solution for opening and closing garage doors even when there is no electricity. However, it is essential to exercise caution and follow proper safety guidelines when operating the door manually.

Open Garage Doors Without Power from Outside
When faced with a power outage, it can be frustrating to find yourself unable to open your garage door. However, there are methods you can use to gain access to your garage from the outside, without relying on electricity. In this section, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to open garage doors without power using external access points.
Before attempting any manual operation, it is important to prioritize your safety. Ensure that there are no obstructions or hazards that may interfere with the opening process. Additionally, be cautious of the door’s weight and take necessary precautions to prevent injury.
Step 1: Locate the Emergency Release Cord
Most garage doors have an emergency release cord, which is typically red and hangs near the top of the door track. This cord is designed to disconnect the door from the automated mechanism, allowing for manual operation.
Step 2: Pull the Emergency Release Cord
Gently pull down on the emergency release cord to disengage the door from the automated system. You may need to apply some force, as the mechanism may be under tension. Once the door is disconnected, it is important to support its weight to prevent it from slamming shut or causing damage.
Step 3: Lift the Garage Door
With the emergency release cord pulled, manually lift the garage door using the handles or other gripping points. Lift the door smoothly and be mindful of its weight. Use controlled movements to avoid sudden drops or shifts.
Step 4: Secure the Garage Door
Once the garage door is open, secure it by propping it up with a sturdy object, such as a ladder, board, or box, to prevent it from falling back down.
It is important to note that these instructions may vary depending on the specific type and model of your garage door. Consult your owner’s manual or seek professional assistance if you’re unsure about the appropriate manual operation method for your garage door.
If you encounter any difficulties or require professional assistance with your garage door, consider reaching out to a reputable garage door repair service in Las Vegas. With their expertise and knowledge, they can provide the necessary repairs and ensure the smooth functioning of your garage door.
Steps to Manually Open Your Garage Door Safely
In the event of a power outage or malfunction, manually opening your garage door is essential to gain access. By following these steps, you can safely operate your garage door without electricity:
1. Positioning the Door Before Manual Operation
Prior to engaging the manual override, ensure the garage door is in the correct position for manual operation. The door should be fully closed, resting securely on the ground. This position prevents any imbalance or potential hazards during the manual opening process.
2. Engaging the Manual Override: The Emergency Release Cord
To release the garage door from the automated mechanism, locate the emergency release cord. This cord is typically red or has a handle attached to it. Gently pull the cord to disengage the door from the automated system. Once the door is disconnected, it can be opened and closed manually.
Troubleshooting Common Manual Entry Issues
In this section, we will address common issues that may arise when attempting to manually open a garage door. It’s important to be prepared for unexpected situations where power is unavailable. By understanding troubleshooting techniques, you can effectively handle various challenges that may prevent the smooth operation of your garage door.
Handling a Garage Door that Won't Budge
If you encounter a garage door that won’t move despite your effort to manually open it, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Check for any obstructions: Inspect the area around the garage door to ensure that there aren’t any objects, debris, or ice hindering its movement. Clear any obstacles that may be blocking the door.
- Examine the emergency release cord: Ensure that the emergency release cord has been properly disengaged. If it isn’t fully released, the door may still be connected to the automated mechanism, preventing manual operation. Pull the cord firmly and ensure it clicks into place.
- Inspect the garage door tracks: Examine the tracks for any signs of damage or misalignment. If the tracks are bent or obstructed, it can impede the movement of the door. Use a level to check their alignment and make any necessary adjustments. Lubricate the tracks with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
- Seek professional assistance: If you’ve tried troubleshooting steps and the door still won’t budge, it’s advisable to contact a professional garage door repair service in Las Vegas for further inspection and assistance.
Reconnecting Your Garage Door After Power Restoration
Once power has been restored, it’s important to safely reconnect your garage door to the automated mechanism. Follow these steps:
- Ensure the garage door is in the fully closed position.
- Locate the emergency release cord and pull it firmly towards the closed position. This will engage the carriage and reconnect the door to the automated system.
- Test the functionality of the door by operating it using the regular controls or the remote opener.
If you encounter any issues during the reconnection process or the door doesn’t operate as expected, it’s recommended to consult professional garage door repair services in Las Vegas for expert assistance.
Maintaining Your Manual Garage Door for Reliable Operation
In order to ensure the reliable and smooth operation of your manual garage door, regular maintenance is crucial. By following these maintenance tips and techniques, you can extend the lifespan of your door and avoid costly repairs.
1. Lubrication: Regularly lubricating the moving parts of your manual garage door is essential to prevent friction and ensure smooth operation. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges, rollers, and tracks. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt and cause buildup.
2. Inspection: Conduct periodic inspections of the door’s components to identify any signs of wear or damage. Check for loose bolts, worn-out cables, and cracked panels. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and avoid potential safety hazards.
3. Minor Repairs: It’s important to address minor repairs promptly to prevent them from escalating into major problems. Replace worn-out weatherstripping, tighten loose hardware, and repair any damaged panels. Regularly check the tension of the springs and adjust if necessary, or seek professional assistance for spring repairs.
4. Cleanliness: Regularly clean the tracks and remove any debris or obstructions that may hinder the smooth movement of the door. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the door and remove any dirt or grime buildup. Keeping the door clean will not only improve its appearance but also prevent damage caused by debris.
5. Professional Maintenance: While you can perform basic maintenance tasks yourself, it’s advisable to schedule annual professional maintenance for your manual garage door. A qualified technician can thoroughly inspect and tune-up your door, ensuring optimal performance and identifying any potential issues before they become major problems.
