New Sikkelee decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit – state law claims against type certificate holders are not conflict preempted | Pan Phillip Self Tapping Screws

At best he offered a differing opinion from the article wrapped in a lot of posturing. I am very open to the idea that I can make errors, and I like it when people point them out so I can change my knowlege and fix the article. Take the flat head vs. slotted discussion. It’s a mistake I didn’t even know I was making! Neat.

Leonard: What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis? Sheldon: Screwed. Leonard: There you go.

This work stands as a contrast to most of the advertising that shies away from embracing our culture. When I worked in advertising in Pakistan, creative concepts were written and presented in English and then translated into Urdu for execution. Urdu copywriters were a rare breed and often not at the top of the food chain.

A positive outcome of this cross-media ownership was that many stories, particularly of human rights violations, once confined to the pages of newspapers, began to be reported on the cable channels of the same media group leading to greater awareness and – in many cases – action by the authorities.

(1) Adjust the power valve. On the starboard side of the engine, in front of the clutch cover, you will find the power valve adjuster. It is the only part on the 250SX that calls for a square wrench (also known as a Robertson or Scrulox wrench). Since this is an odd tool, we used a flat-bladed screwdriver to adjust the power valve. By turning the power valve bolt, you are able to adjust the preload on the power valve spring. The power delivery characteristics of the engine are affected by the timing and speed at which the power valve opens. The ideal power delivery isn’t necessarily the same for all riders or riding conditions, so many riders find it beneficial to alter power delivery characteristics to suit the available traction and their personal preferences. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise for an aggressive hit and maximum top-end power. Turn the adjuster clockwise for smoother power and a broader range of tractable low-to-mid power. The stock setting is one turn in from all the way out. We recommend turning it a quarter-turn at a time (clockwise for a mellow delivery and counterclockwise for an aggressive delivery). Don’t be afraid to try a couple of settings to find what you like.

I hate you now. Every time I take my running start to get my wheelbarrow full of firewood up the short ramp onto my back porch and pieces clatter off the top, some going in front of the the wheel to upend it and spill the entire load I’m going to think of your insanely awesome E-Barrow. This must be how those poor villagers feel as they schlep ten gallons of water two miles from the nearest well/river and think about people like me with our indoor plumbing. On the topic of stability, do you think it would be easy to mount a pair of small wheels to the back legs? You could still lift it onto the front wheel when needed but have the extra stability without increasing width during normal operation.

Yikes, I’d never considered the difference between pozi and philips in any great detail before, but now you mention it I have had instances of damaging screws, and perhaps I now know why.

Once the advertisements are printed, the publications generate an invoice which is sent to the advertising agency for submission along with their own invoice to PID for payment. However, the process is not as straightforward as it appears, because the authority for sanctioning payments is centralised with PID.

At the end of the day it’s the bit that touches the screw that’s important, not the stuff behind it. Look for things that have sharp grinding on the geometry of the screw driver. You shouldn’t see any rough, wavy edges with tiny chunks taken out of them. A screw driver should definitely mention that it had been hardened. Also, many of the coatings do help prolong the life of a screw driver. I find that chrome plating that go all the way to the tip are usually useless and will chip off unattractively within the first few minutes of usage.

Appelbaum: So the people blocking adoption of the metric system weren’t backward-looking traditionalists, but cutting-edge industrialists?

Both the Rolok thread-rolling and Polyfast thread-forming screws from Semblex are available with and without a cutting edge. The Rolok thread features three asymmetrical lobes that form mating threads in the nut member. This design provides high performance through low drive torque and high strip-out torque in a wide range of materials and configurations, like c-shaped extrusions.

Airbox. When Husqvarna decided to go with an updated version of Husaberg’s plastic subframe, it committed to a new airbox shape. Perhaps if the engineers had to do it over again, they would rethink the effect that the thick structural shape of the molded subframe would have on the engine’s ability to breathe. KTM’s thin aluminum subframe tubes leave more room for air to come in from the battery box. Plus, KTM has vents in its airbox covers. Not so with the Husky FC350. It is buttoned up tight. A loaf of bread would stay fresh in Husky’s airbox for a week.
