American machinery show highlights range of nonwoven lines With a cacophony of whirring motors, spinning wheels and clicking computers, the quadrennial American Textile Machinery Exhibition-International '97 was held last month, April 7-11, at the Palmetto Exposition Center, Greenville, SC. The show, which features manufacturers of machinery for fiber, yarn, nonwovens and plant engineering, is the second exhibition of this particular ATME-I event; the first show - which did not include nonwovens machinery - took place last fall. ATME-I is sponsored by the American Textile Machinery Association (ATMA) and Textile Hall Corporation. This year's exhibition featured 513 exhibitors from 26 countries. The main country represented among exhibitors was the U.S.; other large exhibiting countries included Germany, Italy, the U. K. and Switzerland. After the mosaic first three days of the show, almost $800 attendees had visited the show; this did not include exhibitor personnel. The ...

Building a Wall Inside a Container Home A revolution came up and welcomed the idea of using shipping containers to build homes and structures. And just like any other house, the shipping container homes have plans that divide up the container into various livable spaces. Each space will have to be separated by walls. These are not just any walls like concrete walls in a brick and mortar house but are walls that are perfectly layered and insulated to provide the same features as any other wall. Want to know how? Step by Step Guidelines Well, to make things simple, it would be best to divide it into sections. There are three important steps when it comes to building the perfect interior wall in a container home. They are :- ❖ Framing ❖ Installation ❖ Wall panelling Framing of the Shipping Container You will need professionals to do the framing as you will need to consider other underground factors beyond just placing a coat of paint on the walls. You will have to ...

With the advent of the Internet and the worldwide dominance and prominence of Google, Facebook and Twitter, one could reasonably assume the whole world revolves around the Internet. It doesn't. There's a great big offline universe out there with nearly 6 billion people in it; that was here long before the Internet. And if you don't have an offline marketing strategy to reach those billions of people, and compliment your online marketing strategy, you're missing out on a significant amount of traffic and income. Following are 19 effective offline advertising methods that generate traffic to your website: 1. Bookmarks Everyone has books in their home - some more than others.

And what better way to get your marketing message in front of readers, than with a bookmark with your company name and website address printed on it? And distribution couldn't be more easy! Simply get a bunch of bookmarks printe...

Abstract Structural honeycomb panels consist of a lightweight, often paper, honeycomb column core between two thin, stiff face sheets, which results in a very light structure with high strength and stiffness. These panels have long been used in the shipping and aerospace industries and for furniture components in Europe. The wider adoption of honeycomb panels by Canadian furniture manufacturers is hampered by a lack of experience and technical data on their manufacture, properties, and performance. This study attempts to address this missing information with a series of experiments to test the influence of Kraft paper honeycomb type, orientation, cell wall height, and face sheet type on sandwich strength properties (flexural, shear rigidity, and panel deflection). Failure of sandwich panels occurs by buckling of the honeycomb cell walls under the load point; panel load-bearing battery capacity is significantly improved by the use of stiff face sheets such as plywood. The stronges...

Power tools such as Metal cutting mills and lathes, Drill presses, bandsaws, sanders and more may require .5HP to 2HP motors with the ability to fine tune the speed while maintaining torque.Coincidentally most Treadmills use a 80-260 VDC motor with a suitable HP rating and a PWM motor speed controller to allow the user to change the belt speed and keep a good constant speed and torque while running on it. There are Commercial DC Motor/PWM controllers available or you can build the PWM circuit from scratch and buy all the components seperately but you will spend a lot of time and money either way. All the parts rubber you need are on the treadmill.Tear your own apart or get one on Ebay.(shameless self-promotion below)Motor/controller combos on EbaySafety and Disclaimers- You should have some knowledge of electricity and the dangers of household current and know your abilities/inabilities. Serious injury may occur to you or others from use/misuse of these motor set-up. If you are in do...

My Story of Acne Through My Life I got complimented on my skin today. It completely took me by surpise because I have never been complimented on my skin. I have been complimented on my eyes, ambition, and style. But, never my skin. Since I was in 7th grade, I have been plagued with those bumps on my face. They take on many forms and go by many names including pimples, zits, boils, spots, breakout, cysts, and my least favorite: acne vulgaris (the name just sounds horrible!). I have been through many dermatologists, each one striking both my ego and my wallet. It was humiliating sitting in front of each one as they crinkled up their nose studying the one thing I spent 30 minutes that morning trying to hide. They would prescribe it all: antibiotics, face creams, gels, Accutane, and soaps. I dreaded my follow up appointments car even worse than my initial appointments. I knew they would be disappointed in my progress and make a snide remark doubting I was following their regimen, w...
