They gain new importance in technical applications, and man-made fibers are at the center of this ongoing innovation. The development of high-tech textiles relies on enhancements of fiber raw materials and processing techniques. Today, melt spinning of polymers is the most commonly used method for manufacturing commercial fibers, due to the simplicity of the production line, high spinning velocities, low production cost and environmental friendliness. Topics covered in this review are established and novel polymers, additives and processes used in melt spinning. In addition, fundamental questions regarding fiber morphologies, structure-property relationships, as well as flow and draw instabilities are addressed. Multicomponent melt-spinning, where several functionalities can be combined in one fiber, is also discussed.

Do you primarily view Turck as a sensor provider? I am pleased that in this issue of our customer magazine more@TURCK, we are able to more accurately present the company and its positioning. In the cover story, we will show you why Turck has long been much more than a component supplier and how you as a customer benefit from it. When it comes to “me too” products with which suppli- ers are only distinguished from one another due to price, neither manufacturer nor customer is happy. Continuously driving the costs down, results in a loss of quality. You do not want that, we do not want that. Turck therefore uses its excellent location advantage and develops and produces in Germany where the majority of our customers also develop and produce. That is how – working in close collaboration with you, our customer – solutions with added value are developed, which originate from the impressive offerings of more than 13,000 products in the areas of sensor, fieldbus, interface and connection technology for factory and process automation, as well as from customized products designed specifically for your application.

  • No Health Threat from Smart Meters by Klaus Bender. PE Director of Standards & Engineering Utilities Telecom Council
    No Health Threat From Smart Meters by Klaus Bender. PE Director of Standards & Engineering Utilities Telecom Council Comments by Cindy Sage, Sage Associates November 16, 2010 Summary In this article, we defined the concept of the smart grid and the benefits to society. We also highlighted the importance of radio networks to the successful deployment of the smart grid. We discuss the important concepts of RF energy and the impact on humans. Specifically, there is no demonstrated longterm impact of low level non ionizing energy on humans. Note: Italicized text quoted from Mr. Bender’s statement for UTC. The author ignores decades of published scientific work that delineates bioeffects and adverse health effects due to long-term, low-intensity ELF and RF exposures. This statement that there is no demonstrated impact is false and unsupportable. Ionizing energy, beginning with the ultraviolet component of sunlight, has been demonstrated to have long term impact, but the frequencies citing in this report are hundreds of orders of magnitude below that of sunlight. Therefore, this shows that the often quoted sources in the media expressing concern about the RF safety from smart meters are shown to be based on faulty logic, or faulty “facts” and misrepresentations. Bender’s assertion that only ionizing radiation has adverse effects on humans shows either an intention to mislead, or gross ignorance of the scientific literature and scientific controversy over the inadequacy of existing FCC and ICNIRP public safety limits for non-ionizing radiation. Further it ignores scientific evidence that anyone in a position of leadership should take into account before issuing industry-position articles.
