Mega-selling poet and performer Rod McKuen dies at 81 | Flat Torx Self Drilling Screw

The impact of the CPRP is critical. It can determine the fate of an account, a bonus payment, the longevity of the business and whether the performance targets stipulated in a contract have been met or not. (Think about the difference it makes whether TV audiences are bought at $200 per rating point or at $250 per rating point).

absolutely. screw heads come in deiiferent flavors such as flat, pan, round, oval, etc. screw driving mechanisms come in different flavors too such as sotted, phillips, clutch, torx, robertson, etc. don’t confuse the two. to define a screw, you need to define the head shape as well as the drive mechanism. you also need to describe the threads, but that’s a different article all together.

You’ve Got Mail and its partnership with AOL is a great example of how the brand integrated its offering directly into the script. The brand’s service and the novelty of the technology was so inspiring to the writer, Nora Ephron, that she wanted to leverage this new high-tech way of meeting people into her storyline, turning AOL into almost a ‘character’ that became a tri-tagonist, essential to driving the narrative forward. She even agreed to modify the film’s title from You Have Mail to AOL’s signature You’ve Got Mail.

Within a few months, Nidec management met with industrial-fastener-specialist Arnold Industries to discuss alternatives. Arnold recommended the use of a #5-40 Taptite II thread-rolling screw for several reasons. The fastener cost only 4 cents, cycle time was identical and installation required the use of a standard pneumatic screwdriver. In addition, the screw’s larger-diameter head provided greater and more uniform clamp load, and more efficient thermal transfer.

In addition to Dawn’s advertising communications, Creative Unit have been extensively involved in designing the The Dawn Media Group’s publications, including Dawn, Aurora and Herald, each of which have a distinct identity.

For M-6/MI-6, use a James screw. I’m told it’s a hell of a screw and it’s certainly the only one that gives that trademark bond, a James Bond.

The handheld screw driver is a wonderful tool. We’re often tempted to reach for its beefier replacement, the power drill/driver. But the manually operated screw driver has an extremely direct feedback mechanism; the only person to blame when the screw strips or is over-torqued is you. This is a near-perfect tool and when you pull the right screwdriver from the stone you will truly be the ruler of the fastener universe.

Break-stem rivets, impact rivets and rivet-nuts are also options for assembling magnesium parts, as long as galvanic corrosion issues are addressed. Self-piercing rivets have even been used to join steel and magnesium panels, though the magnesium needs to be heated to improve its formability and prevent cracking.

The Gävle Goat Wikipedia entry is, very possibly, the greatest page on the entirety of the internet. It’s pretty well footnoted but, as ever with Wikipedia, salt must be taken. Nonetheless, some extracts:

The robot’s casting shape has been optimized to provide enhanced arm rigidity compared to previous models. The robot has a 2.65-meter reach and a compact wrist with heavy payload capacity. FANUC engineers enhanced the allowable load inertia at the wrist so the robot could handle heavy objects with stability.

THE MXA GANG USED TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT DOING A 350cc FOUR-STROKE SHOOTOUT. It seems funny to do a 350cc four-stroke shootout when there are only two readily available models on American showroom floors—and both of them roll down the exact same assembly line. Every time a KTM mechanic would ask us if they were going to win the 2018 MXA 450 shootout, we’d say, “We can’t tell you that, but we promise you that an Austrian bike will win the 350 shootout.” They didn’t find that as funny as we did.

2015: It wasn’t until 2015 that Husqvarna brought the first TC125 to American shores. It was a clone of the 2015 KTM 125SX but with white plastic, a molded airbox/subframe and the slipperiest seat cover ever put on a motocross bike. It shared everything else with the KTM 125SX, including the harsh WP 4CS forks, terrific Brembo brakes and strong hydraulic clutch. It was a good bike if you knew a suspension tuner for the 4CS forks and owned a drill for the airbox.
