Verbatim, which is part of the Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group, announces two new filament materials – PET and high performance PLA – for use with widely available fused fabrication filament (FFF) 3D printers and offering improved versatility, transparency and print quality. Manufactured in Japan, the highly advanced materials will expand the company’s range of 3D printing options available to product designers, design engineers, manufacturers, hobbyists and more.
The new PET and high performance PLA filaments will be demonstrated in public for the first time on the Verbatim’s stand (Stand H12) at the TCT Show in Birmingham NEC, UK, held between 28-29 September. The new filaments complement the company’s existing portfolio of top grade ABS, PLA and ultra flexible PRIMALLOY™ (TPE) filaments. Also on display will be two other filaments that are soon to be launched: BVOH, a water-soluble support material; and PP (Polypropylene), a commonly used tough and flexible plastic.
PLA is a very popular choice in the 3D printing community given its low toxicity and better eco-friendly credentials compared to petroleum-based plastics. However, PLA sometimes has problems with warping and brittling, but the new high performance PLA material from Verbatim includes special additives from Mitsubishi that virtually eradicate these issues and offers longer life. In addition, the unique mix is soft enough to allow 3D printed objects made from Verbatim’s high performance PLA to be sandpapered for a smooth finish, a key feature when producing 3D objects for display purposes.
The new Verbatim PET filament is a stable yet lightweight plastic already popularly used for packaging bottled drinks, for which demand is growing in the 3D printing industry because of its ease of use, sturdiness (with a tensile strength of 70Mpa*) and high level of transparency (optical transmittance 90%*). Users will find the printed objects will be relatively smooth, with a ribbon-like texture and an attractive transparent, sparkly appearance.
“Manufactured in Japan with high quality materials and tight industry standards, the new materials we have introduced use highly evolved and proprietary manufacturing processes to yield the best possible 3D printing results. Consistency is key and Verbatim’s new 3D printing filaments offer consistent quality from spool to spool. The new products also benefit from better tolerances and will extrude effortlessly without risk of jamming or clogging in the printer,” explains Rüdiger Theobald, Marketing Director, Verbatim EMEA.
Verbatim’s new filaments are compatible with nearly all 3D printers, including Ultimaker, Massportal, MakerBot, Leapfrog, RepRap derivatives and those from Aye Aye Labs, Builder, iMaker, PrintrBot, and many others. A complete list is available on the company’s website: http://www.verbatim-europe.co.uk/en/3D/printer-compatibility/

Enterprises in IPs urged to use hi-tech equipment
Speakers at a meeting on smart industrial parks held by ITPC, HEPZA, and Quang Trung Software City. (Photo: VNA)
HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Enterprises in export processing zones (EPZs) and industrial parks (IPs) should use high technologies to better manage manufacturing processes and improve product quality.
“We can fully expect a future where everything will be automatic, people's living standards will be higher, and machines will serve instead of human in many functions," said Cao Thi Phi Van, Deputy Director of the HCM City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC).
Tran Thien Long, deputy head of the HCM City Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks Authority (Hepza), said the city has set a goal to have all EPZs and IPs being “green, clean and hi-tech” by 2025 and build new hi-tech zones for supporting industries.
Priority will be given to current investors in hi-tech especially those applying the Industry 4.0, and support industries with high value-addition, he said.
Speaking at a meeting on smart industrial parks last week, Lam Nguyen Hai Long, director of Quang Trung Software Park, pointed out that in smart industrial parks, everything will be appended to sensors and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, allowing businesses to have a comprehensive understanding about equipment and machines being used in industrial parks.
AI systems will give directions and automatically correct errors of devices. Therefore, daily duties will be solved quickly and operation processes will go smoothly without much interruption.
“In the future, we can also expect robots and humans working together.”
The fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly changed the manufacturing process. Enterprises that want to maintain and develop for a long time will have to enter the technological race to promote their production models, he noted.
Smart industrial parks can offer enterprises competitive advantages as everything is automatic and digitised. Enterprises can easily control an entire system with a mobile phone, reducing dependence on labourers. Very few people are needed to operate the model as everything is determined quickly and automatically by computers and AI systems.
Workers’ jobs will consist of operating systems and checking for arising problems. Workers will also have the responsibility of solving complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of computers.
Challenges facing IPs
In HCM City, EPZ and IP infrastructure, mostly built in the 1990s, has deteriorated, especially wastewater treatment facilities, with a number of central wastewater treatment systems found to have violated environment/wastewateral regulations.
Many companies seeking to expand cannot find enough land for lease, and rentals are priced too high compared to EPZs and IPs in neighbouring provinces.
In addition, roads near EPZs and IPs are often overloaded, leading to higher production costs for tenants and limiting their competitiveness.
Other problems include lack of schools, accommodations and medical facilities for workers and their families, experts said.
The limited availability of skilled IT and management personnel is another problem.
To address these issues, administrative procedures related to investment, labour and construction in EPZs and IPs need to be simplified to attract foreign investment. The quality of life and working environment/wastewater for workers also must be improved, experts said.
The meeting also presented more than 20 technology products and solutions for production, management and business activities at IZs and EPZs in HCM City.
The event was held as part of a series of smart industrial park workshops by ITPC, HCM City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA), and Quang Trung Software City./.


The Santos de Cartier watch has an impressive history. The original Santos Dumont (invented in 1904 by Mr Louis Cartier for his friend, the Brazilian aviation pioneer Mr Alberto Santos-Dumont) is not only considered to be the very first pilot’s watch ever created, but also the first-ever men’s wristwatch. Equally impressive, the modern version of the watch – which, launched in 1978, took the square case of the original and added a steel bracelet and the watch’s trademarks screw details which is one of the key styles that helped transform Cartier into the globally recognised brand it is today. It was so successful in the 1980s, that it became perhaps the signature watch of that period, thanks in part to its appearance in movies from Wall Street to Clear And Present Danger. Since then, it’s been a favourite that has continued to receive tweaks such as the larger sized Santos Galbée XL in 2005 – but always remained true to the original, now-classic design.
Naturally, then, for its 40th anniversary in 2018, Cartier had to do something special with Santos de Cartier. And clearly, they took this task seriously. In 2016, Santos de Cartier watches were quietly discontinued, much to the consternation of many watch fans. Then, at this year’s SIHH watch fair, an all-new Santos range was unveiled
As throughout the history of Santos, the key updates here are subtle, but timely. The case, originally inspired by the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, has been given slightly softer, more elegant curves that fit more comfortably on the wrist. The bezel has been extended towards the strap, which can now be interchanged easily, without tools, thanks to Cartier’s QuickSwitch system. What’s more, each watch comes with two straps – and the movement has been updated to Cartier’s in-house automatic calibre 1847 MC, which was introduced in the 2015 Cartier Clé collection. All styles come in two sizes: medium (at 35.6mm in diameter) and large (39.8mm), the latter of which features a date window at six o’clock.

NTSB releases findings on Metro derailment
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) presented its findings from their limited investigation of the July 29th derailment of a WMATA train on Wednesday.
The NTSB sent two investigators to the scene of the Orange Line train 602 derailment near East Falls Church, Virginia. Their goal was to assess the accident, as well as to determine whether a broader investigation of the incident was needed.
The derailment, which occurred on July 29th, occurred at an interlocking around 50 feet from the East Falls Church station platform. Nearly 75 passengers were evacuated from the train, and three injuries were reported. Service was suspended and resumed on Monday, August 1st.
The NTSB did not state the probable cause of the derailment. However, they did find that there was a 59 inch gage between the rails of the track in the location of the derailment. WMATA standards require a track gage greater 57-1/4 inches to be removed from service. According to the report, the investigators also noted a defective tie condition in the area of the accident. They found more than 30 feet of track with no effective crossties.
According to the report, WMATA will be taking several corrective actions after this investigation.


Xiaomi does not stop adding new products to its third-party store, some even become a success. If you recently added a new treadmill that has its own application, AI and Wifi and some karaoke microphones that connect to the television, the company has put on sale an electric radiator that has been a bestseller.
As reported from Gizchina, Xiaomi has put on sale on its website a Mijia electric radiator that has been a success. This product has exceeded the crowdfunding expectations of the company, since in less than 12 hours a total of 30,000 units of this product have been sold.
The electric radiator is a product developed by Xiaomi and the ecological company Zhimi Technology (Smartmi), and can heat the air from inside a house making the cold air disappear evenly in a room of the house with up to 15 square meters. In addition, it admits the adjustment of temperature of five speeds: 20ºC, 22ºC, 24ºC, 26ºC and 32ºC.
30,000 radiators sold in less than 12 hours
Once the radiator is activated, it self-regulates as if it were an air conditioner. In the same way, the Mijiia heater has a built-in WiFi module that allows you to connect the device to the Mi Home application and the Xiao IA speaker. In this way it becomes fully compatible with voice control and remote control.
This new product is also intended to offer safety, since the radiator body has a cover of a fireproof material and supports the level of splashes of IPX4, so it can also be used in a bathroom. In case of overheating, it has a sensor that makes the radiator go out and a blocking mode so children can not use it.
At the moment this successful radiator of Xiaomi is for sale in China at a price of 299 yuan, about 38 euros to change. According to the company, the total amount of collective financing of the device exceeds 9.43 million yuan, about 1.20 million euros.

High power density devices (like power electronics or high power vacuum
tubes) have always resorted to liquid cooling. It's so much more efficient
than trying to cool with air. For a variety of reasons, but primarily
because it separates the problem of physical device and radiator surface.
Consider liquid vs air cooled internal combustion engines. Really high
power density often uses some sort of phase change (ebullient) cooling,
although the design challenges are significant. Even some laptops have used
liquid or phase change cooling (heat pipes) to move the heat from the CPU to
the case. An interesting exception to liquid cooling for high power devices
is big generators, which are cooled with hydrogen gas (low viscosity and
density, so low aerodynamic drag)
But liquid cooling, per se, isn't a crippling thing to work with. And, it
actually allows certain design economies: no more do you have to constrain
the design for air flow, or conduction through the boards, nor do you have
to fool with an array of CPU fans, video card fans, etc.

Consider that 10kW is 5-10 times the power dissipation of a hair dryer.
Other solutions that might turn up are an internal cooling loop to move
heat from inside to a big heatsink on the surface. Modern rack mounted PCs
aren't particularly designed for efficient thermal transfer with minimal air
flow. (there's no economic incentive for it)
There are economies of scale to a common chiller, though, because when you
get to large HVAC, cold water is what you get, rather than cold air, because
moving cold air is a LOT more expensive than moving cold water.

There are such things as individual rack chillers, which you would bolt to a
rack and then hook up to a centralized cold water source.

In spring 2019, the company decided to invest in a pyrolysis plant adjacent to Setra's Kastet sawmill in Gavle. Setra has the raw material, sawdust, while Preem has refineries and filling stations. The pyrolysis plant in Kastet creates a strong new value chain for renewable fuels, from forest to tank.
Setra has long been investigating the potential to make greater use of the by-products generated by its sawmills and processing units, primarily chips and sawdust. The aim has been to increase both the economic value and the climate benefit of the products.
Funded by Klimatlivet
In 2016, Setra initiated a feasibility study into bio-oil production based on pyrolysis, the purpose of which was to examine whether a pyrolysis plant could be integrated with the sawmill in Gävle and the nearby combined heat and power plant. This concept formed the basis for the application to Klimatklivet that was submitted in spring 2017. Klimatklivet is a Swedish government funding initiative that supports local and regional measures to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that affect the climate. In early summer, Setra received the great news from Klimatklivet that the plant had been granted SEK 117 million in investment aid.
With the investment secured, work began on applying for an environmental permit. Consultations were held in the summer of 2017 and a final application was submitted to the Environmental Permit Office in Dalarna in late December. Following supplementary information and statements, an environmental permit was obtained for the business in October 2018.
Collaboration between Setra and Preem
In parallel, discussions were held between Setra and Preem about a collaboration. A letter ofintent was signed in summer 2016 and the decision to set up a joint company, Pyrocell, followed a year later.
Preem's goal is to promote the development of more sustainable biofuel production. The fuel company has initiated a range of projects and partnerships with various other parties, with a view to finding sustainable raw materials and processing techniques. Converting sawdust into bio-oil at a pyrolysis plant is fully in line with Preem's strategy.
In spring 2019, the boards of Preem and Setra took the final decision to invest in the pyrolysis plant in Gävle. During the summer of 2019, the construction project was staffed and then planning and procurement of the pyrolysis plant and chip management system began.

The automotive industry is up against disruptive changes on multiple fronts with the increased complexity of vehicle electrification and the scaling back or elimination of prototype vehicles early in the development process.
In this challenging engineering environment, Ford Motor Company is gravitating towards cutting edge vehicle testing approaches that reduce the need for physical prototyping and compress development cycles without compromising on safety and quality.
These approaches involve integrated physical hardware and virtual system models.
MSC Software is hosting a virtual workshop directed towards the technology Ford used to test their
vehicle powertrain subsystems in the absence of a physical vehicle.
Adams Real Time, MSC’s real-time MBD solution, brings the time-tested benefits of Adams to vehicle test and calibration engineers.
Adams vehicle models that drive system design are reused for system or subsystem verification and validation, which allows engineers to deploy a continuous and consistent digital representation of the vehicle system from concept to validation.
This one tool/one model approach helps vehicle testing teams save time and money by consolidating simulation toolchains and reducing physical prototyping.
This virtual workshop features a keynote address from Ford Motor Company, product demonstrations, and interactive sessions with
experts on how to leverage Adams for real-time simulations and enable solutions for Hardware-In-the-Loop testing, Driving Simulators, and Autonomy.

Repairing your windshield crack is safe, perminant, and usually a fraction of the cost compared to replacing the glass.
There are several reasons to have your windshield repaired instead of replaced.
Crack repairs are cost-effective.
Repairing a long crack in your windshield is often more cost-effective than replacing the entire glass. This is especially true for vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), as replacing the windshield can be significantly more expensive due to the need to recalibrate the systems. Repairing a crack can prevent it from spreading and causing further damage, potentially saving you from replacing the entire windshield. Additionally, windshield repair is quicker and less time-consuming than windshield replacement, which means less downtime for your vehicle. Not only is repairing a crack in your windshield a cost-effective option, but it can also help ensure the safety and functionality of your vehicle's ADAS systems, which rely on a clear and unobstructed view of the road.
Your repair will have a scar, but repairs typically look much better.
Once a windshield crack is repaired, it is essential to remember that the damage may still be slightly visible. The main objective of the repair is to restore the structural integrity of the glass and is not cosmetic. This is accomplished by drilling a small hole at the end to terminate the crack and filling the damage with a specially designed resin that bonds with both surrounding layers of glass and the layer of plastic (PVB) in the middle. This process must be done by a trained professional and can not be done with a do-it-yourself kit. Once the resin cures, the repaired area becomes the strongest part of the glass. Even though the repair will be slightly visible, it will not jeopardize the safety or functionality of the windshield. Overall, while the appearance of the crack may not be completely eliminated, a repair will significantly enhance the glass's strength and appearance.
Your repair will be stronger than new glass and last forever.
Repair it and forget it. We use only the best resin in the industry, and your repair will be up to 156% stronger than brand-new glass. Once we repair your windshield, we warranty the repair for as long as you own your vehicle.
Free mobile service
Delaying a repair can lead to a larger crack and require a complete windshield replacement.
At Guardian Windshield Repair, we understand the importance of convenience. That's why we can often offer same-day or next-day services, and our mobile repair shop can come directly to you, so you don't have to go out of your way to repair your windshield.

Quick Links> Newman® Frame > Tree Spades
Civic Trees not only specialises in supplying and planting nursery prepared trees, but also relocates exiting trees. Using and refining processes developed throughout history, Civic Trees has perfected industry leading techniques for lifting existing trees from one location and transporting them to another before successfully replanting it. Using these methods, it is possible to lift trees with stem circumferences up to 300cm.
Whether moving trees across the country as part of a house move, or relocating trees on a site to allow for new development, relocating existing trees is an efficient and effective way to re-deploy existing tree stocks.
Tree moving can be used to great effect on development sites where, in their existing location, trees inhibit progress. Subject to local authority approval, even trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders can be relocated. Often this technique, coupled with planned replanting of semi-mature trees after development, can achieve a planning gain benefitting both the community and developer alike.
Relocation is of particular use on country estates and golf courses where young tree plantations are often in abundance. Thinning young tree stocks to decrease planting density will encourage stronger, fuller growth of those trees that remain as well as providing new plants for use around the property.
A number of methods are employed for successfully transplanting both mature and semi-mature trees. An extensive range of tree-spades and the Newman® Frame allow trees to be moved with stem circumferences up to 300cm. Also, the range of equipment and the use of flotation tyres, allows access to be gained to almost all sites and trees.Newman® Frame
For situations where the use of tree-spades is not practical – such as for large trees with stem circumferences between 90 and 300cm, or sites with limited access, we developed the Newman® Frame.
This technology has been exported around the globe, and has proved itself in numerous countries under a huge diversity of conditions. It has become the accepted way to achieve economy and quality when transporting large trees.Tree Spades
This machinery is the most common way of lifting, transporting and replanting semi-mature trees – and the development of the equipment in the mid 1960’s was the greatest mechanisation in the industry, as it reduced the time needed to prepare and lift a tree from a nursery.
Civic Trees introduced the first Vermeer tree spade into Europe in 1968. Today, we have the largest and most comprehensive fleet of tractor mounted tree spades in the UK, and we can easily move trees with stem circumferences up to 90cm from one site to another.
This size range allows us to move almost all semi-mature trees. Hire arrangements with the manufacturers of larger machines allow us to have access to equipment up to 3m in diameter.

Ferrari SP12 EC (458 Italia)
As the nomenclature suggests, this modern reinterpretation of the legendary 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer) was commissioned by none other than the legendary guitarist Eric Clapton himself and developed by Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina.
To fulfill Eric Clapton’s desire to drive a car inspired by the iconic 512 BB, of which he’d been owning and attached to, SP12 was based on Midship-Rear Drive 458 Italia, not on 599 or FF/F12 other special projects are based on.
Pininfarina reported the design process as follows;
“[…] the car’s most typical cue [is] the separation line between the black lower and the red upper parts. Perfectly horizontal in the original version it slopes steeply in the one-off. The line thus gains dynamism and modernity while remaining consistent with the original image.”
“The rear shoulder has been remodeled to create a more dynamic wing. Still in the rear we find strong references to classic Ferrari-Pininfarina styling cues such as the rear fins and vertical rear window which gave iconic status to cars like the 308, the Dino, the 208 or again the 288 GTO. Notes of modernity arrive from the Enzo-inspired headlights.”
“Special attention was paid to the design of the armrest: the guitarist in fact asked for particular care to be paid to this so that his fabled left arm was able to find appropriate room to lie on.”
The only remorse would be it retains the same 4,499cc F136 V8 making 570hp from 458 Italia, it would have been ecstatic and even more complete if they’d put some flat V12 heart like the good old 512 BB.
Guess this one would justify the $4.7 Million price tag Eric Clapton paid for..

This policy covers explosion of boilers and pressure plants but does not cover rupture of tubes inside the boilers. Both these perils can be covered under MB policy and hence we should wherever possible include this in our MB portfolio since it would practically mean granting extra cover within the scope of tariff provisions.
Types of Explosions
It can be broadly classified under two categories for the purpose of insurance cover.
It is a matter of common knowledge that gun powder, similar explosive compound could cause explosion under the influence of mechanical or thermal shocks. Highly inflammable fluids and dusts can cause explosions if their concentration in the atmosphere exceeds the explosive limits. From the insurance concept, these explosions are considered as very rapid form of combustion.
In respect of pressure vessels handling inert fluids such as steam, explosion can occur due to variation in fluid pressure. The variation being only in physical form and there no chemical reaction or changes responsible for such explosions as such these are classified as Physical Explosions.
Scope of Cover
The policy covers pressure vessels both fired & unfired against the risk of explosion and collapse and indemnified the insured against:
Damage to the boilers & / or other pressure plant.
Damage to surrounding property of the insured or the property held by the insured in trust for which he is responsible.
Death or bodily injury to any person.
Damage to property not belonging to the insured or held in trust or on commission for which he is responsible.
Exceptions of Policy
Loss or damage raising from fire and allied perils which can be covered separately.
Damage by chemical explosion except in recovery boilers and waste heat boiler.
Under the BPP insurance the following warranties will be incorporated during the currency of the policy:
The Boilers and Pressure Plants described in the schedule are annually inspected by inspectors appointed by the Government except where there is no statutory requirement for Government inspection; the inspections are to be carried out by independent competent persons.
The Boilers and pressure plant described in the schedule shall only be operated by attendants holding a valid certificate of competency issued under the appropriate Boiler Act.
The insured shall be in possession of the unqualified permission in writing of the competent inspecting authority to operate the said boilers and pressure plant. If the maximum pressure of load upon safety valve immediately prior to any explosion or collapse was in excess of that stipulated by the said authority the insured shall not be entitled to any compensation or indemnity under this policy in respect of such explosion or collapse.

Affordable Insulators, a trusted name in the insulation services business, provides a comprehensive spectrum of polyurethane concrete raising and maintenance services to suit diverse needs and budget. Whether you need concrete raising, void filling, or slab stabilization, we are ideally placed to address various concrete related issues, saving you from incurring prohibitive replacement costs.
Our experts conduct an in-depth assessment to determine whether your structure needs leveling and repair, or a complete replacement. Based on the findings, we offer professional and unbiased advice on the best way forward. Since inception, all of our clients have been pleasantly surprised at the savings they have been able to realize through our expert services, and you could be the next.
Polyurethane concrete raising is an effective alternative to replacement, entailing savings of up to 50 percent. Apart from being a reliable and cost-effective solution, polyurethane concrete rising allows the work area to sustain normal usage within a few minutes after the completion of the job. In addition, easy material processing and clean up make it an obvious choice over mud-jacking.
Polyurethane foam treatments are not only a viable solution for sunken concrete surfaces, but can also be used for void filling and stabilization in an array of structures such as patios, front porches, driveways, sidewalks, garage & parking slabs, steps, and pool decks, among others. In all cases, the process promises exceptional savings, without affecting the day-to-day activities in the area.
Most concrete raising jobs take approximately 1-2 hours to complete, after which it is ready for normal usage almost immediately. Here’s an overview of how it works:
High-Density Polyurethane Injection is used for concrete lifting, stabilization, and void filling applications. Preferred by Contractors and DOTs around the USA. Lifting concrete with foam offers the same results of traditional concrete raising, stabilization, and void filling, but with new and improved characteristics. Cost-effective compared to concrete replacement, this high-density polyurethane foam has quick cure time, is hydrophobic, moisture barrier, lightweight and provides 5/8” injection holes. With a material for any application, we are leading the concrete raising industry with this revolutionary new polyurethane application.
Density Polyurethane concrete lifting and stabilization avoid costly tear out and replacement. This allows business to run smoothly around the Polyurethane project avoiding down time.
Polyurethane typically cures 15 minutes after injection allowing areas to be fully available in minutes not days.
Specially designed High-Density Polyurethane can be used in underwater or wet applications and have the same chemical reaction.
Because of high-density polyurethane characteristics, this foam-like material is resistant to water penetration.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is an insulation product that is spray-applied in situ at a building site or residence. Two liquid components, MDI (A) and polyol blend (B) are mixed under pressure and sprayed onto a roof or wall cavity. The reacting liquids expand and solidify into a foam matrix creating a seamless seal. SPF adheres well to the area it is applied to, providing an air barrier that prevents thermal leaks.
Closed-cell foam (sometimes known as two-pound or medium density foam) has a high R-value of around 6 per inch. It acts as an air and vapor barrier. It also provides structural enhancement.
Open-cell foam (sometimes known as half-pound or low density foam) has an R-value of 3.6 per inch, and may act as an air barrier. It also acts as a noise absorber.
SPF provides insulation, air and moisture protection for many different commercial building roof and wall configurations. SPF use allows for flexibility of building design, reducing overall maintenance costs, and can extend the lifespan of the building.
SPF seals wall and roof cavities to save the homeowner money on heating and cooling expenses. Not only does it provide thermal protection, it provides moisture and air barriers mitigating dangerous mold and wood rot of the structure.

In 1983, Electro-Voice began developing Manifold Technology™ — a method of acoustically combining the output of multiple transducers (both high-frequency compression drivers and multiple woofers) into a single coherent source. This approach, which yielded smaller, lighter and better performing systems, was first implemented in E-V’s landmark MH-4 loudspeakers in 1986 and has been refined over the years. Now, Electro-Voice has taken the evolution of its pioneering manifold loudspeaker designs and MH horn technology to advanced levels of audio performance.
Providing high-performance audio reinforcement for permanent installation in stadiums, sports arenas, houses of worship, performing arts centers and other sizeable spaces requires a large-scale approach. With that in mind, Electro-Voice has expanded its portfolio of large-venue sound solutions with the MTS series, which is designed to deliver a combination of massive output and precise coverage.
The E-V Solution
The MTS systems represent a truly holistic approach to loudspeaker design. Loudspeaker geometry, complementary amplifier matching, and digital processing are computer-optimized to ensure precisely distributed SPL that remains balanced and controlled throughout the entire coverage area — even at full output.
The MTS series consists of single-box, full-range horn-loaded loudspeakers in point-sourse configurations with four 15″ woofers and two 1.4-inch exit coaxial mid/high frequency compression drivers. All are capable of generating peak SPLs in excess of 151 dB with controlled directivity for very long-throw applications (See Fig. 1).
E-V’s R&D team developed a proprietary, state-of-the-art, dual lossless Hydra waveform converter that feeds a coherent arc source into a large constant directivity waveguide to ensure pattern control to below 350 Hz.
On the low-frequency side of the MTS system, four slot-loaded, high-efficiency 15” LF drivers are symmetrically coupled to the same full-range waveguide as the dual coaxial mid/high frequency compression drivers. This not only creates a true point-source system with substantial bass response, but also eliminates the need for additional subwoofers in many applications.
Another version — which delivers complementary performance to that of the standard three-way models — adds two additional side-firing 15” woofers positioned in a separate chamber at the rear of the cabinet that results in a cardioid configuration, delivering full-bandwidth directivity control that substantially reduces acoustic energy behind the speaker and sound spill outside the pattern. This enhances dynamics, improves the sound quality and clarifies speech intelligibility, while extending pattern control to the low-frequency cut-off of the system.
The MTS series includes 16 unique models to suit various specific requirements. These are based on two standard three-way configurations (MTS-4153) with 60° x 40° or 40° x 30° (Horizontal x Vertical) coverage, and two cardioid configurations (MTS-6154) that provide the same coverage patterns with enhanced low-frequency directional control. The 60° x 40° models can deliver extremely high SPLs: 151 dB peak (music) and 154 dB peak (speech) down to 55 Hz at -10 dB; the 40° x 30° models are capable of 152 dB peak (music) and 155 dB peak (speech) down to 50 Hz at -10 dB.
The MTS-4153 has a -3 dB frequency response of 55 Hz to 18k Hz (-3 dB) or 50 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB); the cardioid MTS 6154 has a similar top-end bandwidth, but goes slightly deeper on the low-end. All MTS enclosures the same square 43” x 43” facing on the co-entrant waveguide, and systems range from 43” to 58” deep, depending on the model.
Built to Last
All MTS models feature stainless steel hardware and grilles, weatherized transducers, and durable birch plywood enclosures with internal bracing.
Each version is available finished with EVCoat in black or white. Each model is available in a partially weatherized (PW) version for sheltered use or in a fully weatherized (FW) version for full exposure to the elements. All MTS loudspeakers have an IP55 rating (assuming a 5° down-tilt), indicating that they are highly impervious to dust and water ingress.
The fully weatherized models are specifically designed for harsh environments, including direct exposure to the elements. In addition to the features already described, all interior and exterior surfaces of the fully weatherized enclosures are finished with a weather-resistant coating that seals the marine-grade plywood. The grilles are backed with a special hydrophobic cloth that minimizes water intrusion without impeding the acoustic output of the speaker.
The enclosures are trapezoidal in both the horizontal and vertical planes, in such a way that tight-packing the loudspeakers in a cluster results in the smoothest coverage transition. Each MTS-4153 loudspeaker has 24 M10 hard points for suspension in either horizontal or vertical configurations. The cardioid MTS-6154 models have 32 M10 suspension points. The speakers can be suspended from individual cable systems or via third-party structural frames.
MTS’ coaxial mid/high compression drivers feature a high-power passive crossover with 24 dB per octave slopes to minimize the required number of amplifier channels. The MTS-4153 has separate amplifier inputs for the MHF, LF1 and LF1 sections, although it can operate with just two channels if the LF1 and LF2 are wired in parallel. The cardioid section on the MTS-6154 models requires its own processed amplifier channel.
All MTS loudspeakers feature heavy-duty input/pass-thru panels, with dual 8-conductor Phoenix/Euroblock terminals (Phoenix Contact P/N 1709212). The connectors are mounted in a cast aluminum input cup and have a current capacity that exceeds 40 amps (continuous) with the ability to accommodate up to 10 AWG stranded wire.
An included cover plate with gland nuts provides protection for the speaker and wiring against water ingress and must be installed for outdoor and full exposure applications. The cover plate can also be installed for indoor applications to prevent tampering and enhance cosmetics, presenting a clean, consistent look for the rear of the loudspeaker.
MTS loudspeakers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with Dynacord IPX series amplifiers and SONICUE sound system control software. For ease of setup and installation, the SONICUE software has presets for all MTS products. Proprietary speaker settings and limiter functions ensure optimum performance with long-term reliability at extremely high output levels. MTS is also compatible with Electro-Voice’s platform-independent PREVIEW software that’s designed to provide prediction visualizations of coverage, SPL, frequency response and precise mechanical load calculations.

DermaShift is a diagnostic device that detects pressure ulcers before they're formed.
Arduino, PCB, BreadBoard, Pulse-Oximeter, AutoCad, IronCad, 3D Printing
PUs are caused by the application of prolonged pressure, resulting in ischemia and subsequent tissue necrosis. Since pressure-induced ischemia alters blood reperfusion and oxygen concentration levels, measuring O2 changes prior to and after reperfusion is a promising indicator for PU formation. Our device thus uses a transient loading method to measure the changes in oxygen concentration during blood reperfusion within the areas of skin with potential PUs. A reflectance pulse oximetry sensor is used to measure the oxygen saturation of the tissue before, during, and after pressure loading, while a linear actuator applies a controlled amount of pressure to allow for accurate sensor readings and slight blood occlusion. The loading is controlled via feedback between the actuator and an embedded load cell, preventing excessive forces from being applied to the patient.
Our device was shown to be low-cost, easy-to-use, portable, and adaptable on a variety of patients and body locations, making it an attractive and feasible option for many hospitals and nursing homes, areas with high rates of PU development. Our method of quantitatively detecting ulcer formation was validated by the statistically significant difference in O2 change between the healthy patient and patient with a simulated PU, and by monitoring blood reperfusion, our device will be a lower cost alternative to many products currently in development, such as the SEM scanner or portable ultrasound technologies. Thus, our device can act as a low cost, quantitative method for detecting PUs, a necessity that currently doesn't exist for healthcare settings.


Bourdon Tube, Pressure Gauge Diaphragms, Bellow Fabrication
IFG Instruments is a distributor of Bourdon tubes, devices used for measuring pressure in non-liquids such as air and gases. They are ideal for applications that require an inexpensive way to take static pressure measurements. We also have capabilities to produce similar products like diaphragms and bellows, which involve a similar mechanical process to detect and display pressure. Bourdon tubes, diaphragms, and bellows operate when the expansion of a flexible, thin walled and flattened tube or chamber is expanded by the introduction of pressure.
In addition to Bourdon tubes, we also produce full Bourdon pressure gauges which involve a tube as well as a small pinion gear that drives the reading display. All components of these devices are produced by our-house equipment like CNC Swiss grinders and deep draw stamping machines. A typical material for Bourdon tubes is beryllium copper, and we have other materials available as well. We are ISO 9001 certified.
