{24 mars} Following my visit to the Fashion X AI Touring Exhibition last month, I had the chance to meet Dr. Jeanne Tan at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#hkpolyu) and her intelligent textile research/development team in person in the #workshop “AI and Textile for Fashion and Lifestyle.” During the workshop, we were shared their groundbreaking research results – #illuminative Polymeric Optical Fibre (#POFs (Chinese: #光纖)) #Textiles 💡 comprised of a contactless gesture recognition system that change colour via hand gestures and invited to brainstorm ideas among the #designers on the #AI applications for #fashion and daily life. What I particularly couldn’t get enough of was a mini loom given to each of us on which we tried handweaving the POFs with the woollen yarns 🧶 I’m not tech savvy but I’m thrilled to witness the combination of innovative #technology and fashion that has given rise to a brand new landscape of the industry. At #AiDLab PS Also check out the video in the next post. #fashiondesign/luminous #fiberoptic #fabrics

This is the CS Cable Innovator, it is specifically designed for laying fiber optic cable and is the largest of its kind in the world [source]. Built in 1995 by Kvaerner Masa of Finland, it is 145 meters in length (476 ft), with a breath of 24 meters (78 ft) and a depth of 8.5 meters (28 ft). It is capable of carrying up to 8500 tons of fibre optic cable.

The ship has 80 cabins, of which 42 are officer cabins, 36 are crew cabins and two are representative suites. The normal endurance of the vessel at sea is 42 days, but this can be extended to approximately 60 days through logistical support.

Jeremy Tremp's article on The Armory Life unveils Springfield Armory's new optics-ready 1911 AOS pistols, which incorporate the Agency Optic System (AOS) to mount modern optics directly from the factory. These pistols, including the 1911 Ronin, Operator, and Emissary models, come in 9mm and .45 ACP variants with options for 5” and 4.25” barrels. The AOS system, developed with Agency Arms, uses a plate-based mechanism allowing a variety of popular optics to be mounted, enhancing target acquisition and accuracy. Tremp appreciates features like rear iron sights integrated into plates for co-witnessing with optics, and he highlights the ease of installation and versatility the AOS system brings to the classic 1911 pistol.

Exploring the dynamic world of laser welding - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/exploring-the-dynamic-world-of-laser-welding-technology-org/

Exploring the dynamic world of laser welding - Technology Org

In the realm of manufacturing and engineering, advancements in technology continually redefine the boundaries of what is possible. Among these innovations, laser micro welding stands out as a remarkable technique that has revolutionized the way delicate components are joined together.

How laser micro welding works

At its core, laser micro welding is a welding possess that utilizes a focused laser beam to join small components with extreme accuracy. Unlike traditional welding methods that often involve heat-intensive processes, such as arc welding or gas welding, laser micro welding operates on a different principle, harnessing the power of coherent light to melt and fuse materials together. 

The different possible applications

One of the key advantages of laser micro welding is its ability to achieve high-quality welds in materials with varying compositions and thicknesses. Whether it’s dissimilar metals, thermoplastics, or even fragile materials like glass or ceramics, laser micro melding offers a level of precision that is unmatched by other, conventional, welding techniques. 

The benefits of laser micro welding

One of the most important features of laser micro welding is its minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ). Unlike other welding methods that can cause deformation, warping, or material damage due to excessive heat, laser micro welding minimizes thermal impact on the surrounding area. 

Efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Laser micro welding also offers practical benefits. It offers unmatched repeatability and consistency, ensuring that each weld meets the highest standard or quality and reliability. This is critical in industries where precision is non-negotiable, such as medical device manufacturing or aerospace engineering, where the smallest defect could have significant consequences. 

The future of laser micro welding

Technology is constantly developing, and so do the potential applications of laser micro welding. From microelectronics and microfluidics to jewelry and dental prosthetics, this technique knows no boundaries. Laser micro welding is on its way to becoming the forefront of innovation.

Clarity Unveiled: Exploring Trends and Innovations in the Anti-Reflective Coatings Market

According to a statement by P&S Intelligence, the anti-reflective coatings market will generate USD 8,577.3 million, growing at a rate of 7.3%, by 2030.

The main factors boosting the growth of the industry include the increasing requirement for anti-reflection coats in the photovoltaic and eyewear industries, along with the rising implementation of anti-reflective eyeglasses in the construction sector.

Based on application, solar panels will witness the highest growth rate, of approximately 8%, in the years to come. This is credited to the growing requirement for low-cost solar cells with enhanced reliability and robustness, extensive adoption of these coatings in solar panels to rise their overall effectiveness, and the growing need to lessen photovoltaic surface reflection.

Furthermore, the electronics industry is the most-important end user in the industry because of the growing flat-panel displays popularity and increasing smartphone industry.

The growth of the anti-reflective coatings market is also driven by the increasing usage of these coatings in the eyewear industry, as the industry adopted such materials in high-light-transmitting products, for instance, eyeglasses and lenses.

Additionally, the advancement of technology in eyewear and the expansion of this industry because of the increasing prevalence of vision impairment, as well as the rising elderly populace, will further boost the growth of the industry.

In the past few years, vacuum deposition held the largest revenue share, of more than 35%, and it will propel with a significant growth rate throughout this decade. This is because of the extensive adoption of the deposition method in the application of antireflective coatings, because of its maximum adaptability, fast setting, affordability, and lesser environmental impact. The APAC industry held the largest revenue share, of more than 35%, and it will propel at a significant rate because of the increasing requirement for logistics packaging and aerospace sector expansion.

Moreover, North America accounted for a significant share of the anti-reflective coatings industry. This is credited to the existence of a large number of reputable companies, rising discretionary expenditure by consumers, growing consciousness about the benefits of coated eyeglasses, booming automotive sector, and increasing construction industry.

In the article "Is This the Ultimate Echelon?" from The Armory Life, author Michael Mills explores the attributes and modifications of the Springfield Armory Echelon handgun, which debuted in late 2023. Mills discusses the pistol's standout features, such as the Adaptive Grip Texture and the Central Operating Group, that cater to both hard use and concealed carry. The Echelon's Variable Interface System allows for direct optic mounting with over 30 models, while its fully ambidextrous controls, advanced trigger system, and customizable elements highlight its versatility. Mills further enhances his Echelon with Floyd's Custom Shop magwell and porting work to achieve superior performance and recoil management. The addition of a Steiner MPS red dot sight and a SureFire X300 Turbo weapon light rounds out his custom build, which he finds well worth the investment for substantial performance improvements.
