![]() Moreover, composite materials like fiber-reinforced polymers or biological tissues are inhomogeneous combinations of two or more materials, each with different material properties, therefore their tensile, compressive, and flexural moduli usually are not equivalent. However, in anisotropic materials, for example wood, these values may not be equivalent. The formulas shown below will explain just how to calculate your compression and extension spring rate.For a 3-point test of a rectangular beam behaving as an isotropic linear material, where w and h are the width and height of the beam, I is the second moment of area of the beam's cross-section, L is the distance between the two outer supports, and d is the deflection due to the load F applied at the middle of the beam, the flexural modulus: E f l e x = L 3 F 4 w h 3 d ( Elastic modulus)įor very small strains in isotropic materials like glass, metal or polymer, flexural or bending modulus of elasticity is equivalent to the tensile modulus ( Young's modulus) or compressive modulus of elasticity. Knowing your spring rate will determine if your spring will function correctly under your working loads. The calculation of spring rate is linear on extension and compression springs unlike torsion springs where the force is radial. Below, you are provided with our free online spring calculator, " Spring Creator", to make your spring calculations a lot easier and faster. You have to take every one of your spring's physical dimensions into account including the material type. Spring rate is the most important part of your compression or extension spring design, but it is also the most complicated spring calculation. The units of measurement of rate in the English System are, lbf/in (pounds of force per inch) or N/mm (newtons per millimeter) in the Metric System. Furthermore, you can check pricing at different quantities by clicking on the Quick View icon.ĭefinition: Spring rate, also known as spring constant, is the constant amount of force or spring rate of force it takes an extension or compression spring to travel an inch of distance or, in the metric system of measurement, a millimeter of distance. ![]() When you find the spring that meets your load and travel requirements, you can then check whether the spring rate meets your working loads.

A soft-touch dashboard with respectable imitation-wood trim combined with leather seating on my test car to present an upscale environment. The Ford Edge’s interior was updated for 2011, and it still looks and feels like a modern, quality setting. The turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine is meant as the fuel-economy option, rated a better 21/30 mpg, but it costs extra to get the EcoBoost motor, and spending more to save money makes it something of a wash. The truck has plenty of electronic safety measures to prevent rollovers and skids, but you’ll quickly realize that this is not a vehicle made for driving with enthusiasm.įuel economy for front-wheel-drive models is rated by the EPA at 19/27 mpg city/highway for the base V-6 - not stellar by today’s standards but not awful for the category. The SUV’s weight feels even more pronounced in such conditions, too, with the Edge rolling on its suspension, feeling tippy and top-heavy. Even low-speed tight curves send lots of noise up through the wheel wells. A vault-quiet ride in a straight line turns into a noisy venture through the curves, as the tire scrub in corners is loud and pronounced. It’s when the road starts to twist that the Ford Edge feels out of its element. Long-distance interstate cruising is where the Edge truly shines, providing an amazingly smooth, quiet experience. At highway speeds, the Edge requires a kickdown in the transmission to get adequate passing power but never feels lacking or underpowered. Off the line, the Edge feels heavy, with acceleration coming in a smooth but unhurried wave. Our test model came with the 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which is a smooth and perfectly adequate motor to power the Edge around town and an even better one for highway motoring. All engines are mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission, and the Ford Edge Sport model adds flappy-paddle manual shifters behind the steering wheel. A Sport trim level is available, bringing a larger 3.7-liter V-6 out of the related Lincoln MKX and bumping horsepower up to 305, which can be channeled to either just the front or to all four sporty alloy wheels. The EcoBoost makes 240 hp but is meant to be a fuel economy champ instead of a torque monster. The base engine is a strong, 3.5-liter V-6 making 285 horsepower and available with either front- or all-wheel drive (AWD) a turbocharged, EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is an extra-cost option on front-wheel-drive models only. The Edge offers three engines - a level of choice uncommon in the American market. Now that so many competitors have come up with their own new models, we figured it was time to take another look at whether Ford’s family-hauler is still fit for duty. No major changes were made from 2012 to 2013, but the popular SUV didn’t really need any, as its update for 2011 prompted many automakers to scramble in an attempt to catch up. The Edge has been around a while, introduced for the 2007 model year and last given a major update for 2011, when it got a new front and rear end and an upgraded interior featuring Ford’s controversial MyFord Touch multimedia system. ![]() In the Ford lineup, the five-seat Edge occupies the middle ground between the compact Escape and the larger Explorer and Flex. ![]() Midsize SUVs are a common sight on American roads these days, having largely taken over for minivans as the top body-type choice for family-hauling duties. It rides and drives well, but is ultimately let down by the unreliability of its electronic gizmos. The 2013 Ford Edge is a solid, if flawed, model in the highly competitive family SUV category. ![]() Wait up to 2 minutes, or longer depending on ambient temperature and the operation being performed, before switching on the lawn mower and resuming normal operation.

![]() ![]() Its growing list of accolades includes recognition from the Space Foundation for achievements in space exploration, and a prize from the Vertical Flight Society for “outstanding improvement in fundamental helicopter technology,” among other awards. Previous recipients of the award include Orville Wright in 1913 for developing the automatic stabilizer, Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager for his X-1 rocket plane mission in 1947 that marked the first crewed flight to break the sound barrier, and the astronauts of NASA’s Apollo voyages to the moon five decades ago.Īnd it’s not the first award to go to the Ingenuity team, either. Collier Trophy was established more than a century ago as a way to highlight significant achievements in the field of aviation. To the team’s delight, Ingenuity has been able to assist the team overseeing NASA’s ground-based Perseverance rover by using its onboard camera to perform exploration flights over areas of interest as well as checking the safest routes for the rover to take across the rocky Martian surface. Its farthest single flight to date is 2,325 feet (709 meters), with the same mission seeing it reach a record speed of 12.3 mph (19.8 kph). The Ingenuity helicopter is 19.3 inches (49 cm) tall and weighs 4 pounds (2 kg). ![]() But it performed so well during its early missions that the team has been able to continue with its work and chalk up 28 flights to date.

![]() Come Where the Flavour IsĮxtracts such as rosin generally have far more flavour than shatter extracts, and yet still provide high levels of THC and other cannabinoids. So deciding to use rosin over shatter will depend on what style of smoking that you are into. When it comes to cannabis, hashish, and all of the many, many extracts and derivatives that originate from them, personal choice will always be the main factor in determining your purchase decision. There are a number of different rosin presses on the market, and although you can produce small amounts of rosin at home using some sort of heated device, like a hair straightener, the really good rosin is always produced under stringent laboratory or factory conditions. High-quality hash rosin is typically produced using a specialized piece of laboratory equipment called a rosin press. Rosin, on the other hand, is a purer, more refined product of hashish, one that is more suited for use as an additive to a joint, or as an extract perfect for dabbing and vaping. Prior to that, hashish had always been consumed as an edible. In fact, the smoking of hashish did not become common until after the introduction of tobacco from South America in the 16th century. Many a good night out has been had by travellers in Asia after drinking a hash lassi (hashish mixed with yogurt). Hash can be smoked in joints, bongs and pipes, and can also be consumed as an edible. It is a sticky, dark, semi-solid substance that is made by squeezing and rubbing the trichomes (small outgrowths and appendages) of the cannabis plant. Hashish has been consumed as a part of religious ceremonies, and as a recreational drug, for centuries. Hashish itself can be described as simply a pure, unmodified extract of the cannabis plant. Wax, shatter, rosin and cannabis oils are all forms of hashish. What’s the Difference Between Hash and Rosin? Just the pure and traditional extract of hashish. The resulting extract is then collected onto a sheet of parchment paper and dried out. But really, the difference is simple: rosin is pretty much a 100% natural product that is created simply by applying pressure to dried cannabis flowers, kief, dry sift, or bubble hash. It has a consistency and appearance similar to many popular extracts, such as shatter and wax, but it is distinguished from these products because the cannabinoid and terpenes contained in the source material are extracted without using chemicals, or solvents such as butane, ethanol, or supercritical carbon dioxide.Īll that might sound quite complex. Rosin is produced without using the usual solvents involved with extracting cannabis products. Hash Rosin is an extremely potent extract of hashish. ![]() So let’s take a look at hash rosin, how it is made, and how to ensure that you get the best rosin available on the market today. So for cannabis users seeking to buy the best hash rosin, knowing a few things about it can be extremely helpful.Īt, hash rosin is just one of the many high-quality hash-derived products that we stock. When it comes to the varieties of hash rosin Canada has available to consumers, many retailers and MoM dispensaries stock a large number of different brands and options. In the world of hashish, and its many derivatives and extracts, hash rosin stands out as a high-end product worthy of its premium value. ![]() The fourth to ninth positions in the VIN are the vehicle descriptor section or VDS. For example, 8X–82 denotes the range 8X, 8Y, 8Z, 81, 82, excluding 80. In the notation below, assume that letters precede numbers and that zero is the last number. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture, although in Europe the country where the continental headquarters is located can assign the WMI to all vehicles produced in that region (Example: Opel/Vauxhall cars whether produced in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom or Poland carry a WMI of W0L because Adam Opel AG is based in Rüsselsheim, Germany). The first character of the WMI is typically the region in which the manufacturer is located although there are exceptions e.g. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. A manufacturer who builds fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit, and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the world manufacturer identifier or WMI code.

To eliminate repeated injections, researchers are developing innovative ways to deliver medication to the eye. The shots have one big drawback: They have to be administered as often as monthly. "Now, in a majority of patients, we can stabilize vision and, in some patients, even restore some vision." "Before anti-VEGF agents, we had nothing to stop wet macular degeneration," says Jeffrey Heier, M.D., chair of research and therapeutics for the American Society of Retina Specialists and director of the Vitreoretinal Service at Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston. Injected into the eye, the medications block VEGF proteins, which normally help blood vessels form. Fortunately, a new class of drugs called anti-VEGF agents, now widely available, can halt and sometimes even reverse the damage. Although far less common than the dry form, in which deposits destroy the macula, wet AMD is much more destructive, leading to more rapid and profound vision loss. Wet macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina, often leaking fluid or blood into the macula and damaging central vision. Injected anti-VEGF agents can help reverse eye damage and stabilize vision. "For many patients, we see significant improvements." "Fortunately, the brain is usually able to adjust to the two different images," explains ophthalmologist David Boyer, who directs the Retina-Vitreous Associates Medical Group in Southern California. And because some people have trouble adjusting to the different images each eye receives, ophthalmologists run prospective candidates through a series of tests to determine if they're a good fit. The implant cannot be placed in an eye that has had cataract surgery. The telescope is implanted only in one eye, so that the other eye continues to have full peripheral vision. The VisionCare telescope implant recently won FDA approval for patients 65 and older with end-stage AMD. Last summer I was able to see well enough to plant a garden again - eggplants, tomatoes, peppers." Like a stargazing telescope, the tiny device magnifies a small area and projects the image across the whole retina, allowing healthy cells to make it out. Last year surgeons inserted a telescope implant manufactured by VisionCare into one of his eyes. ![]() I couldn't read at all," says Vellone, who lives in Somers, N.Y., with his wife. "My vision was so bad I'd walk right by people I know because I didn't see them. Stargazing telescopeįor years, Joe Vellone, 76, watched his sight gradually deteriorate from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition in which the light-sensitive cells of the macula - the central part of the retina - are destroyed. Joe Vellone, 76, received a telescope implant to improve his vision. "But it's not a question of if we'll end blindness. "We still have a lot to learn," admits Stephen Rose, chief research officer for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. In fact, progress in ophthalmology is so rapid that some researchers have already begun to envision an end to many forms of vision loss. The device, called the Argus II, is just one of a growing number of bold new approaches to treating blindness, offering hope to the millions of mostly older Americans in danger of losing their sight from macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other eye diseases. But for Kulik, that simple walk around the campus was "a miracle." Blind for more than two decades from an inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, Kulik was seeing again - clearly enough to make out the sidewalk and the grassy edge - thanks to a sophisticated microchip implanted in one of her eyes. En español | If you had seen Lisa Kulik and her husband strolling the grounds of the University of Southern California's Eye Institute last summer, you would have thought nothing of it. ![]() Thank you for giving your little brother the best advice this world has to offer.Īlso Read: Lovely Messages for Brother Thank You Brother Message From Sister You taught me the value of kindness and compassion.

Oh said of Yang's expressions of emotions during season eight: "You see her express her emotions with only two people: her best friend Meredith and her husband Owen. We would shoot all our scenes for a day or two straight, and that was extremely challenging because emotionally and physically it becomes really exhausting." Two analytical people see each other over a crowded ER room and their eyes meet." On the topic of Yang's triumphs and challenges in the eighth season, Oh said: "It has been an extremely challenging year that has had a lot of ups and downs, both challenging and exhilarating. They're very similar in a way, I think, as people. What I read when I read the season premiere, and this is just my take on it, is that it was very much two very analytical people, Owen and Cristina. made sense for the character."ĭiscussing his onscreen relationship with Yang, McKidd said: "It's not going to be easy for them. The idea that this woman would have a child that she did not want and resented for ruining her career and resented Owen for making her have would have been hideous. ![]() And I feel like that is a character who has never really wanted to be a mother. As for the abortion in the eighth season, Rhimes commented: "I really wanted Cristina Yang to stay true to who Cristina Yang is. If it occasionally makes her into a caricature, it has also unquestionably established that she would have an abortion in this circumstance." Talking about Yang's abortion in the eighth season, Rhimes explained she intended Yang to have an abortion already in the second season but changed it with an ectopic pregnancy at the suggestion of one of her writers because "that was so much more interesting, story-wise". It has long been her defining characteristic. New York magazine wrote of the character: "There's probably no woman on TV right now more single-mindedly dedicated to her career than Cristina. At the conclusion of season three, the duo went on a "honeymoon" together, and Rhimes called it her favorite detail of the finale. This led to the two being dubbed "the twisted sisters". ![]() Because it's so incredibly human and understandable." Yang's friendship with Meredith has been looked upon as "sisterhood", and Yang has repeatedly referred to the former as "her person". Scared that if she lets her emotions out, they will overtake her and she will be hurt. And in my mind, what we realize is that she is not cold. Rhimes commented, " her struggle to suppress all of her humanity in pursuit of perfection. You have to have a kind of ascetic personality to survive." Rhimes referred to Yang's relationship with Burke by the portmanteau "Burktina", citing "Losing My Religion" as one of her favorite episodes featuring them because it shows their evolution from the beginning of the second season to its end. But the ones you encounter are at the very top of their game. I mean, in real life there aren't many of them. ![]() Oh said of her character: "I've always tried to play Cristina with a tremendous amount of focus and ambition - which is the reality for a female surgeon. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) characterized Yang as "competitive", "ambitious", and "intelligent", while also noting her weaknesses: "bossy", "aggressive", and "tactless". |
