  • Torch Cutting

    Torch Cutting

    Torch Cutting Definition: Process for cutting metal using an apparatus that produces a very hot flame through the combustion of gases. Potential Hazards: Aerosolized particles Back strain Burns Explosive atmosphere Falling heavy objects Fire Flammable gases or vapors Hazardous fumes Hot environment Oil and hydraulic fluids Repetitive motion injuries Sharp objects/edges Guarding/Shielding: Approved protective equipment must be installed into the fuel gas piping to prevent • Backflow of oxygen into the fuel gas supply system • Passage of a flash back into the fuel gas supply system • Excessive back pressure of oxygen in the fuel gas supply system. Protective Equipment: Hard hats* Safety glasses* Steel toe/steel shank work boots with metatarsal guards* Oil resistant clothing or covering* Fire retardant gloves* Fire retardant coveralls or other form of full body work clothing* Fire retardant long sleeved shirt* Eye/face shielding that provides protection from ultraviolet light (shade ratings of 4 to 6, depending on the thickness of the material being cut)* Respirator (unless the absence of a respiratory hazard can be proven)* Hearing protection as needed *minimum requirements Safety Procedures: Portable fire extinguisher must be plainly marked and readily available in close proximity to torch cutting operations. Managers and operators must analyze torch cutting operations to determine the level of potential exposure to hazardous materials. These materials include, but are not necessarily limited to: • Lead • Cadmium • Beryllium • Carbon monoxide • Chromium • Iron oxide • Magnesium oxide • Mercury vapor • Nickel • Nitrogen dioxide • Zinc oxide Where hazardous levels exist, workers must be protected and monitored in accordance with the corresponding regulation(s). Compressed gas cylinders must never be moved via magnet.

BRIGHT, Jr. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY • NEW YORK 1949 FOREWORD THIS study of the economic development of the electric- lamp industry is the second volume in a series of studies on the economics of innovation, undertaken at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. The creative role played by science and technology in modern economic life is apparent to everyone. But we know relatively little about the human factors which condition the introduction of technological change into our environment. Are there barriers to innovation inherent in the increasing concentration of power in a few large concerns? Does the patent system, designed as an incentive to invention, act more often as a brake on new develop- ments? What has been the role of key personalities in creating change? Are there lessons to be drawn from the past on how the innovating process can be more effective, not only from the standpoint of achieving a higher standard of material being but from the point of view of smoother human relations? Certainly, material progress at any price is not a satisfactory goal. On the other hand, freedom for creative action in initiating and carrying out new developments is a basic human drive for many individu- als. I believe, personally, that a great society should strive toward a goal which will give to individuals and groups the maximum opportunities for creative expression; yet this means to me that the State must act to prevent the compulsive pressure of some particular group from overriding others to the destruction of human values.

Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice...The boy Samuel grew up in the service of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 2:18-21 Acolyte means an attendant or follower and Samuel is one of the first examples of an assistant to a priest. Your job as an acolyte is to assist the celebrant (the priest in charge of a worship service) and enhance the worship service to help glorify God. You are a minister of the church who is called to serve God. Therefore, every action you take should be done respectfully and in a dignified manner; the goal is for the attention of the congregation to be on the liturgy and not on the ministers.

    Portable Solar Street Lamp

    PORTABLE SOLAR STREET LAMP ARIFFIN BIN ABDULLAH This thesis is submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the Bachelor Degree Electrical Engineering (Power System) Faculty of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Pahang NOVEMBER, 2008 v ABSTRACT This system is designed for outdoor application in un-electrified remote rural areas. This system is an ideal application for campus and village street lighting. The system is provided with battery storage backup sufficient to operate the light for 10-11 hours daily. The project is about to develop and fabricate the circuit that can charge the lead acid battery during day time by using solar as the source. To control the circuit for charging, I have used the circuit charging that can implement the condition of the charging whether it’s in charging condition of in float condition. When charging condition, red LED will turn on until the battery reach the full charge state that is in floating condition and green LED will turn on. For the switching, I used PIC16F877A to switch on the lamp, by using the photocell sensor. The PIC16F877A will determine whether it is daytime or night time. The light will automatically on when the photocell sensor give the input to the PIC and PIC will give the output to the relay to switch on the light. To control the intensity of the light, we need the other input from the sensor. When sensor detect, PIC will give the output to switch on for the second light. So the intensity of the light will increase and the timing will start counter.

  • Those Magnificent Chandeliers We Are

    Those Magnificent Chandeliers We Are

    Those Magnificent Chandeliers We are blessed with a beautiful church, “a model of elegance and good taste” The Mecklenburg Times announced in April 1895 in anticipation of the re-opening of the First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte following an extensive and quite expensive (just over $30,000) rebuilding and remodeling of the church. One of the new and much anticipated features of the 1894-1895 remodeling was the installation of three very large and exquisitely ornate chandeliers. “The First Presbyterian Church is to have the handsomest chandeliers in the State”, revealed the Daily Charlotte Observer in a sneak preview in 1894. Prior to the remodeling, First Presbyterian had been regarded as one the most dimly lit churches in Charlotte, having only 39 lights in total. The Session decided as early as 1888 that new lighting, and lighting with electricity, was highly desirable and some electric lights were added at that time to supplement the gas lights. Electric lighting, though a relatively new technology (it wasn’t until 1883 that the first church in the United States was wired for electricity), was much easier to use and much safer than gas. Electrical lighting was rapidly replacing gas lighting across the country. The chandeliers that were going to adorn First Presbyterian actually had dual fuel capability, thus combining the new technology of electrical lighting with the more proven technology of gas lighting. A fail-safe system seemingly. Each of the chandeliers had 72 lights, 36 electric and 36 gas, for a total potential of 216 lights. Dim lighting at First Presbyterian was going to be a feature of the past.

    The Invention of the Electric Light

    The Invention of the Electric Light B. J. G. van der Kooij This case study is part of the research work in preparation for a doctorate-dissertation to be obtained from the University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands (www.tudelft.nl). It is one of a series of case studies about “Innovation” under the title “The Invention Series”. About the text—This is a scholarly case study describing the historic developments that resulted in the steam engine. It is based on a large number of historic and contemporary sources. As we did not conduct any research into primary sources, we made use of the efforts of numerous others by citing them quite extensively to preserve the original character of their contributions. Where possible we identified the individual authors of the citations. As some are not identifiable, we identified the source of the text. Facts that are considered to be of a general character in the public domain are not cited. About the pictures—Many of the pictures used in this case study were found at websites accessed through the Internet. Where possible they were traced to their origins, which, when found, were indicated as the source. As most are out of copyright, we feel that the fair use we make of the pictures to illustrate the scholarly case is not an infringement of copyright. Copyright © 2015 B. J.
