Port High opens new facilities to students, welcomes public to open house, holiday concert | Lexan Polycarbonate Embossed Sheet

The Deli had a soft-opening on Nov. 29 which Hudson hoped would help them ease back into their regular routine, but the public wouldn’t have it. Three people came in that day, and the next day they came just shy of doubling their all-time record for lunch sales.

Much like the Nanoleaf Aurora lights, Canvas is expensive. The $250 starter pack is enough to get you started and having fun, but most people are going to want at least one of the $80 expansion packs to complete even a basic design on a wall. Realistically, someone setting up a more advanced design will be spending closer to $400 for a completed light setup. It’s not difficult to argue the worth of these lights when you view them equally as light and art, but if you’re looking at them for function only that price tag is going to be a sticking point for people who aren’t already sold on smart lights.

The melted Lexan is pumped under pressure into the small gap that is formed between the male and female mold parts when they come together in the molding machine. This can be seen in the video below.

Unlike fiber cement, you can cut and shape this material just like wood using standard carpentry tools. You’ll want to dedicate blades to this material, though. In my experience, those blades won’t be any good for cutting wood again. Boral recommends using dedicated carbide-tipped blades.

We were in Ive’s black Bentley, which is as demure as a highly conspicuous luxury car can be. The hood barely sloped, and it met the car’s front end at a tightly curved corner that mirrored the iPhone 6 in Ive’s left hand. We were in the back seat: Ive has reluctantly accepted the services of a driver. Ive said to him, “It’s just over a year, isn’t it, Jean?”

Understanding and improving HTC and CHF in boiling systems has been extensively studied for decades, including the development of a variety of enhancement strategies3,4. Traditionally, the use of enhanced surfaces has been primarily focused on the creation of structures and complex geometries machined into, or attached onto, the boiling surface such as porous materials, sintered wires and meshes, as well as mechanically deformed structures5,6,7. With the development of increasingly precise fabrication tools, micro/nano-structured surface coatings have been explored in recent years, showing substantial increases in boiling performance. A variety of microscale and nanoscale wires, rods, posts, and other structures have been fabricated on silicon chips and shown to enhance HTC and CHF of water anywhere from 50% to 300%, depending on the working fluid8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16. Similarly, micro/nano-structures on copper and other metals have also been demonstrated1,17,18,19. The role that surface structures play in boiling enhancement has been attributed to a variety of factors, including capillary wicking9,12,13,14,17, increased nucleation site densities9,20, and increased contact line pinning10. Additionally, notable increases in HTC have been reported using embossed copper microstructures with specific contoured shapes1. These complex microscale shapes use evaporation momentum force to promote the separation of liquid and vapor flow paths and enhance micro-convection.

Experimental results showing the percent increase in (a) critical heat flux (CHF), and (b) heat transfer coefficient (HTC) for bi-conductive surfaces as compared to bare copper surfaces. Optimal performance is seen at Bond numbers of unity with a 2x increase in CHF and a 5x increase in HTC. These results highlights the importance of tuning the wavelength of spatial temperature variations, P, with the capillary length of the working fluid, λC, resulting in enhanced boiling performance over all stages of boiling.

Ive was brushing his hand across the top of his head, and talking quietly. He is impeccably solicitous, with frowns of attention and apologies for lateness or workplace untidiness, and he seems to extend this tone to everyone—including, presumably, to the crew of his twenty-seat Gulfstream GV, which he bought from Powell Jobs after her husband’s death, in 2011. He communicates with his friend Paul Smith, the British fashion designer, largely through postcards that, as Smith recently recalled, contain “words like ‘lovely,’ ‘special,’ ‘so nice’—a language that is particular to his gentleness.”

According to Clive Grinyer, “Jon’s always wanted to do luxury.” By this point, Grinyer said, Ive had already fulfilled one duty of industrial design: to design a perfect stapler, for everyone, in a world of lousy staplers. (Most designers driven by that philosophy “didn’t really rule the world,” Grinyer said. “They just ruled staplers.”) A few years ago, Grinyer had considered working with Vertu, the British-based cell-phone manufacturer, whose bejewelled but technologically ordinary products sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Vertu’s survival challenged the assumption that inevitable obsolescence removes modern consumer electronics from consideration as luxury goods. Ive was “very interested” in Vertu, Grinyer recalled.

Woodline cases come in American Cherry, Rosewood, Zebra and American Walnut, and cost $49.95 in various Amazon searches (unless you want the latter, in which case it’s $59.95). — John Brownlee

With little more than pen, paper, dice, and imagination, a group of friends can transport themselves to another plane for shenanigans involving dungeons and/or dragons. An avid fan of D&D and a budding woodworker, Imgurian [CapnJackHarkness] decided to build gaming table with an inlaid TV for their inaugural project.

While the hardware on the Pocophone F1 is simply among the best you can buy in the Android world currently, when it comes to software, it’s a bit more hit-or-miss. If you’ve used a Xiaomi phone before and are accustomed to its MIUI, you’ll be fine. But if you’re a new user, it’s definitely a learning curve and your overall disposition toward the skin will vary. If you’re an avid proponent of stock Android, you may not be all that pleased.
