![]() This food contact compliant coating agent is a hybrid product that combines the effects of a lubricant and release agent. The preform coating system was developed for use with Lusin® Lub O 32 F made by Chem-Trend. The seamlessly integrated PIC (process integrated coating) system developed by Steidle can accurately dose micro quantities of Lusin® Lub O 32 F and ensure that the entire body of each preform is uniformly coated. ![]() The unit can be adjusted to accommodate virtually all preform designs and sizes in just a few minutes, making it extremely flexible. Using Bonino’s technology, preforms are diverted into the PCS system after production, where they are then properly oriented and individually coated. The resulting safety, economic and operative benefits give PET preform manufacturers and their customers substantial competitive advantages.īonino Group was able to engineer a portable unit that can be easily integrated into production lines. The system aims to improve the way PET preforms are coated by providing an efficient and secure process insuring that the coating agent will not enter the preforms. This revolutionary preform coating system solution was developed through a strong collaborative process between Bonino Group, a manufacturer of orientation and sorting systems based in Italy Steidle, specialists for micro spraying lubrication systems from Leverkusen, Germany and Chem-Trend. The Bonino Group, Steidle and Chem-Trend cooperation The application method allows Lusin® Lub O 32 F to coat preforms on the full body which results in a drastic reduction of scratches during the filling and unloading of the Octabins. A specially designed “Safeguard” system installed around the neck area of the PET preforms prevents the coating agent from entering the preforms. It is designed to spray only the body of the preforms with extreme precision without applying any coating agent on the thread of the preforms. ![]() The system is installed directly after the injection-moulding machine and before the soft-drop or Octabin. Together with our partners, we are now able to present a revolutionary system that will allow converters to coat preforms in a safe way”, says Graziano Pestarino, Global Account Manager Thermoplastics Packaging at Chem-Trend. It also increases the number of preforms that can be stored in an Octabin container, which reduces shipping and warehousing cost of preforms. “ Preform Coating System (PCS) by Bonino reliably reduces scratches on PET preforms with precision spraying of Lusin® Lub O 32 F. The solution was developed by Bonino Group in collaboration with Chem-Trend and Steidle. This system enables preforms to be accurately sprayed directly after the injection-moulding process.

![]() Western Meadowlark sounds: They make a pleasant series of tweets, warbles, and whistles. They eat more insects n summer and more seeds and grain in winter. Western Meadowlarks’ diet consists of insects and seeds. They forage for food alone or in small flocks and are not usually found in woods or dense shrubby vegetation. You can find Western Meadowlarks usually on the ground in grasslands, meadows, and fields. Western Meadowlarks that breed in northern US states and Canada migrate to more southern states in winter. However, those in the west and midwest remain all year. Western Meadowlarks are part of the blackbird family and are about the size of a Robin with shades of brown and white upperparts and a black V-shaped band across the bright yellow chest that turns gray in winter. With their bright yellow bellies and melodious song, Western Meadowlarks can brighten up your day. They lay up to six eggs which take around twelve days to hatch and the same for the young to leave the nest.Īttract Common Yellowthroats to large backyards with dense vegetation and native plants to attract insects.įun Fact: The black mask of Common Yellowthroats is a sign to courting males that that bird is male, and they attack when fake birds are used, but they do not attack when the bird has no mask. The nest is made from grass and sedges supported on a platform of leaves and grass. Accessible at Nests of Common Yellowthroats are built by females near the ground in marshy areas and supported by reeds. You can find Common Yellowthroats often in marshy or wetland areas and brushy fields living in thick, tangled vegetation.Ĭommon Yellowthroat Song: Credit: Paul Marvin, XC629250. Some remain all year along the Gulf Coast and Pacific Southwest. The males have black masks across their faces. The brightness of the yellow can vary geographically, and they may be more olive in parts underneath.Ĭommon Yellowthroats spend the summer breeding over most of North America, except Alaska and northern Canada. Common YellowthroatĬommon Yellowthroats are small songbirds that are brownish on the back and bright yellow underneath, with long tails. They will visit most bird feeders and prefer sunflower seed and nyjer seed.įun Fact: Cowbirds have no luck in getting the American Goldfinch to raise their young as their solely vegetarian diet is no good for cowbird chicks, and they die within a few days. ![]() They lay up to seven eggs which take up to two weeks to hatch and two or two and a half weeks for the young to leave the nest.Īttract American Goldfinches to your backyard by planting thistles and milkweed. Nests of American Goldfinches are usually in shrubs and are made from rootlets and plant material woven together and held firm to the branch with spiders’ webs. ![]() They are also common in suburbs, parks, and backyards. You can find American Goldfinches in weedy fields and overgrown areas foraging for sunflower, thistle, and aster plants. However, those that breed in Canada and the Midwest migrate to southern US States for winter. American GoldfinchĪmerican Goldfinches are popular birds, especially due to the males’ bright yellow and black coloring in spring. The females are duller brown, as are males in winter.Īmerican Goldfinches can be found in most of North America and are usually resident all year. ![]() This guide will help you identify yellow birds that you have spotted by giving you pictures, identification information, song recordings, and when they migrate in and out. Yellow birds are more common in the summer in northern US states and Canada as they are usually migratory birds that breed there in the summer and migrate south for winter. There are many yellow birds that visit the US and Canada and some migrate and others stay all year. These bright and cheery birds can be seen at backyard feeders or out in the fields and forests. Yellow birds are often warblers, orioles, or tanagers but do you know which warbler visits your area?įind out all about common yellow birds to help identify them. Additionally, the thin fabric and basic pocket layout make the Ferrosi less appealing than alternatives like the prAna Stretch Zion II below for everyday wear and travel. First off, you don’t get a built-in belt, and the drawstrings along the inside of the waistband are a less effective solution (they’re harder to quickly access and adjust if you need to tighten or loosen the fit). The Ferrosi takes our top hiking pants spot for 2023, but we do have a couple nitpicks with the design. It’s worth noting that the Ferrosi was recently updated, with highlights including a bump in sustainability-the fabric is now bluesign-approved and 46% recycled-but the winning formula has gone largely unchanged for years, which is a good thing. In addition, it excels at temperature regulation: We’ve found it’s tough enough to cut the wind and shed light rain but dries quickly and breathes when the thermometer starts to climb. Featuring the brand’s signature Ferrosi Fabric, this semi-trim-fitting pant provides an excellent mix of weight, durability, stretch, and all-around mobility. We’ve tested a wide range of hiking pants over the years, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better combination of comfort and performance than with Outdoor Research’s Ferrosi. What we don’t: Doesn’t come with a built-in belt not as around-town-friendly as some. What we like: Standout fabric that's stretchy, breathable, and tough.

As the voltage provided to the emitter of NPN transistor is negative and to that of PNP transistor is positive. Also, the two types of BJT shows variation with respect to their biasing arrangement.So, their movement in NPN transistor generates high conduction. This is so because electrons are more mobile than holes. The conductivity level of NPN transistor is somewhat high as compared to PNP transistor.In NPN transistor holes are the minority carriers while in PNP transistor electrons are the minority carriers.An npn transistor exhibits faster frequency response as compared to a pnp transistor.However, the symbolic representation of PNP transistor an inward arrow from emitter towards base shows the direction of flow of current. In the symbolic representation of NPN transistor, an outward arrow from the base towards emitter represents the direction of flow of current.As against, in PNP transistors, the current flows from emitter to collector terminal. In NPN transistors, the current flows from collector to emitter terminal i.e., opposite to the direction of movement of electrons.While in PNP transistor due to sandwiching of the n region between two p regions holes acts as majority carriers. The factor that generates a key difference between NPN and PNP transistor is that in NPN transistor due to sandwiching of p region between two n regions electrons are the majority carriers.Key Differences Between NPN and PNP Transistor While the collector is doped at a moderate level but it has the greatest size among all the regions. Here also, among the 3 regions, the emitter is highly doped but has moderate in size. Thus, in this way, current flows from emitter to collector i.e., in the direction of the movement of holes. Also, the collector region is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, hence the negative terminal attracts holes drifting towards the collector region. While the base is lightly doped hence very small amount of moving holes gets combined with the electrons of the base region. These holes on experiencing repulsive force move towards the lightly doped base region. Thus, the positive potential of the battery applies repulsion to the holes present in the p region. Here, holes acts as majority carriers and electrons are the minority carriers.Īs the forward voltage is provided at the emitter-base junction of the transistor. In PNP transistor, n region is sandwiched between two p regions. The figure below represents the PNP transistor with biasing arrangement: It also consists of an emitter, base and collector region. PNP is the abbreviation used for the positive-negative-positive transistor. ![]() On the other side, the base region has the smallest area and is lightly doped. While the emitter region is the second-largest but is highly doped. Thus, in this way current flows from collector to emitter i.e., in the reverse direction of the movement of electrons.Īmong the 3 regions, the collector region has a larger area but it is moderately doped. Hence, this positive potential attracts electrons from the base region. Rest move towards the collector region, and as we can see clearly in the above figure, that collector region is connected with the positive terminal of the battery. And on reaching the base region only a few electrons get combined with the holes present in that region. The applied forward biased voltage at the emitter-base junction allows the electrons to move into the base region after overcoming the barrier potential at the EB junction.Īs the negative terminal of the battery connected to the n region applies a repulsive force to the electrons present in the n region. In NPN transistor, electrons are the majority carriers and holes are the minority carriers. In an NPN transistor, p-region is sandwiched between two n regions. Here, the leftmost n region shows the emitter region, the middle p region shows the base region and the rightmost n region shows the collector region. The figure below represents the NPN transistor with biasing arrangement: It is a 3-layer device namely emitter, base and collector. NPN is the abbreviation used for Negative-Positive-Negative transistor. Let’s see the contents to be discussed under this article and then we will move further in order to understand other major differences between the two. ![]()
![]() If this isn’t perfect, don’t worry about it. Gently fold the dough once top-down, bottom-up, then side and side to fold in on itself. Slightly wet the counter and put a square of plastic wrap (this makes it stick to the counter), and flour this also.įlour a spatula, scrape sides of dough in bowl and turn out onto the counter, onto the plastic wrap.įlour the dough surface, sides, and your hands. An easy way to calculate the end time is think ahead 12 hours, then add 6.Īfter the first rise, uncover and the dough will look high and bubbly. My house is 72 degrees so the counter works for me. When I combined all of these, the dough was just slightly too dry, so I had to add more water to make sure it was sticky like shown below.Ĭover the bowl with a plastic bag or towel and set in a somewhat warm area to rise for about 18 hours (it can be slightly earlier). Don’t forget to use unchlorinated water so the chlorine doesn’t kill the yeast! If you can knead it, add more water until it’s sticky. The dough should be sticky and un-kneadable. In a mixing bowl, mix all dry ingredients.Īdd the water and stir until combined. Plastic bag or towel (to cover the dough)ģ cups flour (I use 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose, 1 1/2 cups whole wheat)ġ cup grains or seeds (optional, use any combinations – I use 1/4 cup barley, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/8 cup oats, 1/8 cup flaxseed, 1/8 cup quinoa, 1/8 cup millet)ġ/2 cup or more extra water (if adding grains or seeds) enameled cast iron dutch oven (I use 3.5) This bread stays fresh for about 2 days and gets hard quickly since there is no preservatives so be sure to bake as often as needed.ġ 3-5 qt. Once you’re done baking, the aroma of fresh-baked bread will turn your house into a home. This bread goes a long way on satisfaction and is great with making sandwiches and using as a dipper into hummus or gravy. I hope you enjoy the recipe and let me know how it goes in the comments section! Artisan Multigrain No-Knead Bread I also use what I’ve heard called the 1-2-3-4 recipe which helps you memorize the ingredients as all the numbers fit into the recipe. Traditionally, most people use a 5 quart but I find this slightly too large since I want a taller loaf. I use a 3 1/2 quart enameled dutch oven for this recipe to get the shape that I like. I’m sure you’ll find many more ways to use this bread as it can also be used for sandwiches, bu if you want to make sandwich bread, try using experimenting with a loaf pan to get the right shape. I’ve also cubed this smaller, baked it on a baking sheet, and made great homemade breadcrumbs to be used in stuffing. ![]() This recipe has served me well during Thanksgiving or potlucks when I sliced the whole thing into bite-sized cubes great for dipping into hummus or gravy. If you go too far on the whole wheat, the loaf does seem to get a little heavier so you’ll have to experiment with what you like. You can use just regular unbleached all-purpose flour but I try to make a mix of half and half with whole wheat. I’ve made several variations on this recipe depending on what mood I’m in, but most of the time I make a loaf that resembles this one using whole grains to make it a little healthier. I think after that piping hot loaf of crispy goodness comes out of the oven, the smell of this homemade bread turns a house into a home and people always take notice. Time and fermentation does the job for you! Then once the dough is proofed, a heavy, cast iron dutch oven with a lid mimics a traditional brick oven and traps the moisture in, creating that beautiful crispy crust that we’ve come to enjoy so much.Īlmost nothing else satisfies the taste buds and nose like the aroma of fresh-baked bread. No-knead bread has changed the landscape of baking bread since you literally don’t have to knead the dough. Have you ever dreamed of making artisan bread? Well I have an easy artisan, multigrain, no-knead bread recipe for you! Just as many no-knead bread recipes have been inspired by the original NY Times article with Jim Lahey, so has this one, although I add several whole grains and seeds to it. ![]() Self-Feed BitĪ self-feed drill bit, similar to the sawtooth, has a threaded end that pulls the bit through the wood swiftly. The teeth cut into the end grain, preventing the bit from skating across the surface. When boring into end grain, sawtooth bits are the preferred choice. Versatile for a variety of purposes, they can cut overlapping holes. Invented for gunsmiths, they create flat-bottomed holes apart from a small indentation. Most commonly found in drill presses and lathes but can also be utilised with hand-held tools. Forstner Bitįorstner drill bits can drill larger diameter holes in timber than other tooling can. This allows you to easily place electrical wires in tight spaces. Electricians use these long, skinny “bell hanger” bits for pulling wires or similar installation work.īesides their long length, they have a hole near the tip for use with pulling wire. Installer drill bits are a specialised tool to install difficult wiring. Suitable for unusually thick applications, they will cut through nails without tool damage. Ship auger bits are a particular type of tool included in this category. It is possible to use with an electric drill, though it will pull through at an alarming rate and no control, better off in a hand brace. They feel more rigid and robust, making them an excellent option for tougher projects. ![]() It is 18 inches long, so it can go deep into timber. The auger bit is ideal for drilling through tougher materials. They also offer a more energy-efficient solution. Augers produce cleaner holes than regular woodworking drill bits. The auger drill bit has a threaded tip that can cut a large deep hole. With a clean cutting action for precise dowel holes in wooden workpieces between 3 – 13mm. A (lip and spur) bradpoint centres itself, so you don’t have to worry about drifting. The cutting action is clean and sharp, preventing splintering on the exit hole. ![]() Woodworkers know that a brad point drill bit is best for hardwood and softwood. This allows for greater accuracy and stability when drilling. Wood auger bits and Wood drill bits are different names for the same thing for those not in the know.A Brad point bit has a sharp point to position the workpiece with two spurs for cutting. NOTE: And another handy tip: drilling end grain, such as down the center of a post for it’s entire length is not a good use for a auger bit…the feed screw has trouble getting a bite in the pithy center wood…and the pitchy center can load the feed screw and cutter area with sticky wood…nothing to do at that point but remove the auger bit from the hole and get to cleaning all the pitch off the screw threads and cutter. Regular ‘cleaning’ of the hole helps reduce the possibility of this happening. NOTE: Here’s a handy tip: Did you get the long auger bit stuck? It’s best to ‘unstick’ by using a pipe wrench rather than the drill. Wood Auger Bits are for applications such as log homes, timber frames, wooden bridge repairs, arbor work & tree repair, railroad ties, landscape contracting, dock building, bulkheads, remodeling/renovation, piles, manufacturing, and post & beam construction. We stock several types…Irwin, NW, Eliminator, Penetrator, Chasen…in lengths up to 60″” and widths from 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ (depending on the brand).Īuger bits, such as Irwin and particularly NW have a sharp (and sharpenable) cutter that ‘cuts’ the wood as it drills, whereas, if you take a look at a carbide cutter you’ll see it’s more of a ‘rip and push’ (if you can explain it better, let us know, I can’t). Long Woodboring Auger Bits are a specialty of ours. ![]() And once you’ve set up your password manager, it should be easy (not annoying) to use when you need it. Ease of setup and use: A password manager should make it easy to transition from using browser-based password autofill (or nothing at all), as well as to set up all the apps and browser extensions required.The apps should walk you through the process of setting them up and giving them the permissions they need to work. iOS and Android compatibility: A password manager should have apps for both iOS and Android that are easy to use and capable of autofilling passwords in browser windows and within apps.We check for (but don’t require) compatibility with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Edge browsers, as well as with Opera. The extensions are responsible for autofilling passwords and other forms, as well as for generating and saving new passwords when you change one or make a new account. Web browser compatibility: We test only those password managers that offer browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.Support for Chrome OS is generally covered by Chrome browser extensions. We note Linux compatibility but don’t require it. Desktop and laptop compatibility: A password manager should have a Windows and macOS app that you can use to browse, add, and edit your information.We look at three different kinds of compatibility. Password managers should receive frequent updates, especially after large operating system changes (like the launch of Windows 11 or macOS Monterey), which helps plug any security holes and shows that the developers are regularly working on the app. Compatibility: A great password manager runs on just about anything, regardless of what hardware and software you and your family use.A good password manager should offer cloud syncing so that your passwords remain accessible anywhere on an unlimited number of devices. Sync between devices (and no limits on the number of devices you can use): You probably have more than one device that you use every day, between your home computer, your work computer, your phone, and your laptop.Unlimited password storage: Any paid password manager should be able to store an unlimited number of passwords and other records, and enough free ones offer unlimited storage that you shouldn’t settle for less.Privacy: A password manager shouldn’t share data with third parties for advertising, so we check both the privacy policies and the mobile apps to confirm that they aren’t sharing data they aren’t supposed to.Security audits aren’t perfect-they offer just a snapshot of the software and infrastructure-but they are a signal of trust and transparency. But those promises of security only go so far, so we require that any password managers we recommend participate in regular third-party security audits (preferably audits that they make public) and have a bug-bounty program. ![]() A good password manager needs to use strong encryption to protect your data on your computer, on your password manager’s server, and when your data is moving between the two. Good protection for your passwords: You’re trusting your password manager with your entire digital existence, and your password manager should store your data securely.Regardless of the password manager you use, it’s important to protect your data with a strong master password-we have advice for how to do that below. Bitwarden works on the same devices as 1Password, so you can use it with any computer, phone, tablet, or browser. But the free version of Bitwarden offers the core features you need in a password manager, including the ability to sync as many passwords as you want across as many devices as you own, support for software two-factor authentication, and sharing between two people with separate logins using a two-person organization. Plus, Bitwarden isn’t as polished overall and lacks the in-app guidance of 1Password, which makes it harder for beginners to get the hang of. The free version of Bitwarden gets the basics right and doesn’t cost a thing, but it lacks a few features that make 1Password such a standout option, such as password checkups and 1 GB of encrypted storage (all features you can find in Bitwarden’s reasonably priced, $10-per-year premium plan). ![]() Let us look at the features which Ardour provides. When it comes to open source alternative to Audition, Ardour is an excellent application.Īrdour is a free and open source, cross-platform application to record, edit and mix different audio files with ease.
