ASUS Zenfone 2 : my latest smart phone

I have to purchase a smart phone and I was looking into the market for the latest one. One of my friend told me about the launch of ASUS Zenfone 2. It raised my curiosity & I just tried to GOOGLE it. The first thing I found on the net was a video depicting the latest ASUS Zenfone 2 : The Next Zen – ASUS Zenfone 2 , as below :

It really impressed me as it was a yet to be launched, new smart phone from ASUS with a nice and bigger camera of 13 MP allowing you to see what others can’t as we can take a pic, even in the dark, even without a flash light and the outcome is the brightness upto 400%. What a camera or better to say, what a smart phone. I made my mind to do further in depth research over it as it looked perfect for clicking Selfie with 5 MP. Moreover it was capable for multiple shots as well HD to view videos.

With intel processor, it offers a 4 GB RAM which is equally exciting as you can work more easily without any slowdown hinderances. Moreover, it’s the first mobile in the market that has offered the 4 GB Ram.

It has dual SIM, Dual Active, 4G Lte, so advanced & latest one as almost all the service providers are now converting their 3G services into the 4G. It means there was no risk of any obsolete 3G technology and suitable to move ahead of others who are still using the old handsets.

One of the common problem while using a smart mobile is that it consumes a lot of battery and therefore, it must be regularly or timely charged. My research over the internet revealed that it can be charged upto 60% in just 39 minutes. Does it mean that it will be fully charged in almost an hour or so. Must  be checked.

And it really looked a smart phone. What I mean to say is that while you search for the smart phones, they are named as a smart phone but they don’t generally look smarter. The ASUS zenfone 2 looked much amarter in the vid as above and it seemed that its quite possible that it will redefine my experiences of using a smart phone.

I thought of taking my research over this smart phone to the next level & I googled again to look for its website.  I found the link as below : http://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/. The website is self explanatory & has given every minute detail about the handset. I found the phone to be really smart, with bigger in size,

The crux is that I have decided to go for this handset. I came to know that it will be launched on this 23^rd April & therefore I have to wait for yet another 10 days for the handset, though in reality, I can’t wait any more for it. But I am really happy that my friend has guided me in the right direction and seems I have taken a right decision. I am now waiting for the day when ASUS Zenfone 2 will be in my hands.

Shot Blasting machines for Aluminium Die castings

Shot blasting machines for Aluminium die castings, Brass & Gun metal parts are available in various models such as Tumblast, Table, Hanger & Continuous conveyor models. 

In Tumblast, a conveyor belt rotates inwards, inside the chamber of the shot blasting machine & the components are loaded on it as per the size & capacity of the machine. The door is than closed. Rotor is switched on for throwing Shots or Grits on the components. By this process, the loaded components get a universal finish. Abrasive medias such as Shots or Grits are continuously fed by the elevator of abrasive media. All the dust extracted in the process goes to the attached dust collector. On completion of desired time period, the door is opened & than the conveyor belt is driven outwards. As a result the components can be removed from the chamber. An automatic loading system can also be attached to the shot / grit blasting machine.

The Tumblast shot blasting machines are available in many sizes, right from a 2 cu ft capacity machine to a 15 & 20 cu ft capacity machines. Some of the sizes are: 20" x 27", 20" x 42", 27" x 36", 30" x 43", 36" x 42", 42" x 42" as well 48" x 48".

Similarly, Hanger model Shot blasting machines are available in Single / Double door type, Centralised hanger type as well a monorail type. In this model, the components are hanged instead of loading on the conveyor belt. Rest of the process is same. The hanger rotates for a universal finish using multiple rotors depending upon requirement. The benefit is that the components do not touch each other in the process of finishing and hence are scratch free.

Swing table model shot blasting machines are suitable for bigger or heavier components or if the smaller parts are to be shot blasted only one side. Many sizes are available from a minimum 36" of table to 120" of table in sngle as well double doors.

Continuous conveyor model shot blasting machines are suitable for smaller components which are to be shot blasted only one side with a single rotor. Multiple sides can be finished by using multiple rotors. Components are fed from one side & removed from the other side duly finished.

The spare parts for shot blasting machines, mostly wearable are made from ni hard or alloy steel to get the maximum life.The main spare parts include the Rotor, Blades, Spring locks, Cage & Impeller, Cage adapter, centre plate, Top segment, Side liners, Round plates as well the conveyor belt. Few precautions are necessary while running the machine.

The Tumblast model of Shot blasting machine if to be used for finishing of smaller components is best suitable and very cost effective. we can be contacted with details of your components for a suitable size & model of shot blasting machine.

Shot blasting of Brass components

Since last over 25 years we get repeated & regular calls from our old & new and would be clients for the finishing of metal parts. It may be castings, forgings, aluminium die castings, zinc die castings, brass components, gun metal parts, tempered components or the sheet metal parts.

I remember a customer who visited me from Agra, almost 10 years ago, for the Finishing of brass hinges. He brought few samples with him. Moreover he could not tell me about the type of finish he required. He just asked for a better finish.

Though i could easily offer different type of finishes by using either a vibratory finishing machine OR a suction blasting machine i.e. sand blasting machine with a suction blasting gun as well a wet blaster. But i knew he had the bulk of material & a single machine won't be enough for him to meet the targets.

So i took him to my works for a trial on our Airless Shot Blasting machine for Brass components i.e. Tumblast model. We did a bit of adjustments in the machine and changed the abrasive media to a desired size & quality & asked the client to come inside the workshop.

His samples were loaded in the machine & we did the shot blasting for few minutes. The minute we opened the door of the machine, our client looked more than happy. Amazing results were clearly visible on the Brass Hinge as well on the face of the client. He immediately placed the order with us & took the delivery as desired.

Friends, if you have any such component, that may be castings, forgings, aluminium die castings, zinc die castings, brass components, gun metal parts, tempered components or the sheet metal parts, for which you are looking for a better finish, just call us, just come to us. We have a wide range of latest machines for Deburring, Polishing & Finishing of all types of metal components.

Surface finishing machines for cleaning, finishing, deburring & polishing of metal components

Metal components must be Deburred, Cleaned & Finished, before affixing them into any of the bigger mechanism. These metal components may be the sand castings, forgings, aluminium die castings, zinc die castings, brass & gun metal parts, sheet metal or tempered components.

In the earlier days, people used the Tumbling barrels, loaded with leather particles ( even now being used at many places ) for cleaning & finishing of metal parts. Later the Vibratory finishing machines, Centrifugal finishing machines, Drag finishing machines as well the Roll Flow finishing machines came into operation. Various types of ceramic stones, plastic stones, stainless steel media, walnut shells, glass beads are used in this type of machines for deburring & polishing of metal components.

Similarly, Rotary barrel shot blasting machines came into existence in the earlier days for abrasive blasting on metal parts for cleaning & finishing. Later the horizontal model of Shot Blasting machines came into action such as Tumblast shot blasting, Table shot blasting, Hanger shot blasting & the continuous conveyor shot blasting machines. These machines have a centrifugal blasting rotor that rotates mechanically, whie throwing steel balls, normally called shots or grits, on the components for the finishing.

Sand blasting machines are also available in portable models as well the cabinet models. The cabinet model of sand blasting machines include various models such as pressure blasting, suction blasting as well the wet blasting machines. These machines can be used to clean & finish any specific area of a metal component also. Sand blasting nozzles of boron carbide & tungsten carbide are used in these machines & these are operated by the air pressure provided by a compressor. Sand blasting as well glass etching is also being done now a days on glass, by using these sand blasting machines. Various types of abrasive medias such as aluminium oxide, glass beads, river sand, shots, grits, plastic abrasive, garnet etc can be used in these machines.

The latest in surface finishing machines include the Thermal deburring machines, Electro chemical deburring machines, Dry ice blast cleaning machines, Micro sand blasting machines & a lot more. More details can be viewed in the Directory of Finishing machines which offers a wide range of machines as above.

Power of being #together !

I had passed my 12^th class with good marks and had applied for various courses in the Delhi University but it was just a chance that I missed a seat by a little percentage and could not gain anywhere in DU. It was probably the worst day of my life. The future was looking dark. I wept & cried a lot. I was not willing to go back to my home as i was scared. One of my friend asked me to talk to my parents, but I refused.

My friend called my father and informed him the status. My father immediately rushed to us in his car. On viewing my father, I hugged him & started crying. My father said nothing. He just smiled. He just patted on my back. He took all of us to our home. He ordered some good food for all of us & we discussed a lot.

I knew my father very well but surprisingly, he looked quite a different person on that day. He was absolutely optimistic with no worries at all. His opinion was that life never ends if one door is closed. In case a door is closed, there is definitely some other door that has been opened, just for you and you have to just make a search for it.

After talking to him, i gained strength & motivation & started Looking up with optimism. I thought of searching the new door that was opened for me. I checked various courses, various entrance tests, but for all of them, one year was to be wasted as the last date for all the courses had passed. We continued our search & soon while surfing the net we found the details of some good Courses of Indira Gandhi Open University.

We spent quite a good time on IGNOU website and talked in depth about various courses. My father & mother were always standing there with smiling faces, giving a moral boost to me. They preached me to Look up and never be sad in my life, whatever the circumstances may be.

Soon we all decided a course that was not only suitable for me but had a good prospect for admission to main colleges in the next year. I applied for the course under the open university. I passed my first year with very good marks and as a result i got the admission in a Delhi University college in the second year of the degree course. It was the most memorable day of my life. It was probably the best day of my life.

Just an year ago i looked so depressed, so sad but the things had changed now in my favour. It was just because my parents had a positive attitude. They had supported me at the worst period of my life and now, i had converted it into the best period of my life. All this had happened because of the power of being #together.

Therefore, one must always Look up with positive views. The circumstances may be bad but if one has the guts, he or she can convert it into the best. You must log on to the website https://housing.com/ as it gives a boost to your search for a good home.

Start A New Life at the earliest possible !

We are the resident of Delhi a big metro city. It’s a beautiful city with wider roads, parks, malls, markets, hotels and every such thing which a resident requires. Metro added a big charm to it few years ago.

But the city has it’s own problems too. It has become the most polluted city of the world. We filed RTIs & the outcome was that the pollution levels in certain areas were even higher by 9 to 10 times from the prescribed limits. We arranged the lungs check up camps & found that almost 25% of the persons had mild or severe lung infections. The city has become a congested one also. The inflow of new vehicles has made it the world’s 5^th most jammed city. It’s difficult to move easily even if one is in any kind of emergency. The city suffers during rainy season due to severe water logging and so on, the problems continue to rise.

Therefore, we were looking to START A NEW LIFE, a pollution free life, a green life, a healthy life. We were willing for a safe home, a green home where we can go & spend our time so that even while working in Delhi, we can be there on our weekends to feel better from others.

We checked various online websites related to property & found the https://housing.com/. It is an amazing website as it offers various opportunities. You can look for a rented home, PG or hostel facilities. You can buy or sell new homes. You can offer your property on rent. The site also exhibits amazing data of the New Projects from various locations in India with BHK & Budget options.

As we were looking for a healthy home, we checked the option of New projects & the whole lot of details opened in front of us from various cities. We clicked at Dehradun & OMG, we found so many construction sites, with budgetary details, pics & everything. It was amazing. Everything at a single go. Everything at a  single click. Almost 40 options with various budgets ranging from few lakhs to few crores, it had everything to offer.    35

It gave us almost every detail, from number of bed rooms to villa or apartment, to budget, to possession details, area details and everything that we may require to decide a project. We have downloaded their App too as it seems suitable.

We have now decided to take the BOLD decision to buy our home at Dehradun and we have selected a few options from the above website. Soon we are going there to view the location & to understand the technical advantages of every location & soon we will start a new life, a better life, a changed life, a healthy life, a desirable life with the help of https://housing.com/.

Please view the video embedded below to LOOK UP & to take a Bold & positive decision of your life.

You too can log on to the website https://housing.com/ and can promote it amongst your friends tagging @housing or +Housing-com with the hashtag #StartANewLife.

Look up with Optimism with a hope for the future !

Japan was attacked with nuclear weapons on its two cities i.e. Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Entire world had assumed that Japan will be wiped out of the growth map. But people of Japan were optimistic. Inspite of the massive attacks on their two cities, inspite of deaths of scores of persons, inspite of the large scale devastation due to the nuclear attacks, it still raised its spirits with optimism and with a hope for the future. And the outcome is that Japan now stands amongst the top most countries of the world. The citizens of Japan get visa on arrival and that too, anywhere in the world. Every organization feels proud if it has an employee from Japan. This happened because people of Japan who faced massive attacks on its soul, could come out of the trauma & could raise their mind with optimistic thoughts. In the same way, we must have the positive & optimistic thinking if we want to achieve success in our life.

One of my friend got a big shock of his life when he got the Doctors report that his father had prostate cancer. It was really shocking for the entire family. The PSA was over 4 and it should be with in 2 for any normal person. The biopsy was done & doctors advised the bone scan. Biopsy and  bone scan reports disclosed that the cancer had already reached the bones & already at the third stage. The family was shocked on finding that his life was limited to a maximum of 12 months.

The entire family was shattered on this disclosure. Even we were shocked as it was never ever assumed that a normal looking person could be in such a dangerous stage and that too due to cancer. They all decided to not to disclose about the disease to the patient. They requested doctors concerned to not to reveal the disease to the patient even though everyone knew that it was a LOST BATTLE.   31

Many doses of Chemotherapy were given to him at various hospitals but   they never told him about the disease to the patient. Even though his life was said to be of a maximum of 12 months, the family had already crossed more than two years. After almost three years, the patient came to know that he was suffering from cancer but he was told that it was just the initial stage & so there was nothing to worry. The situation further deteriorated and the Radiation started. The situation was really bad. They knew that they can’t do any more for him and after almost four & a half years he expired.

The crux is that even though they knew that it was the lost battle, that he had a maximum life of 12 months, they still looked up with optimism and with a great hope. The combined optimistic behaviour of the entire family extended his life by almost four times i.e. upto 54 months.

Truly speaking it happened in our own family & the patient was none other than my Grand father who expired in 2008. So I will just say that let whatever happen, if you are optimistic, if you have positive thoughts, you can always look upwards. Please log on to the website  https://housing.com/lookup as it will teach you on how to look upwards in your life.

Butterfly Valve

with thanks : Jackie Chow

How & Why Are Butterfly Valves Used ?

A Butterfly Valve is used to control the flow of material through a circular pipe or tube. Typically the material is air, gas, steam, or liquid. Certain dry materials may also be handled through a butterfly valve.

Simply, a butterfly valve consists of a circular disc with its pivot axis at right angles to the direction material is flowing. The valve is made up of a body, seat, disc, stem, and actuator. Each component part is available in a variety of materials called “trim features.” Properly combining trim features to address material handled and environment is important in selecting the correct model valve for its intended service.

Body 

A butterfly valve body can be made of cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel and exotic metals. 

Butterfly valves are available in wafer and lug style. Wafer style valves are installed “sandwiched” between pipe flanges. This style of valve is easier to replace or install. However, replacing a wafer valve requires the conveying line to be drained. Once the valve is removed, there is nothing to seal material either upstream or downstream from the removal point.

Lug style valves contain tapped holes that allow them to be bolted directly to a mating flange. In the closed position, the valve independently seals material to the upstream and downstream side. Because of this independent sealing, lug valves may be used to isolate downstream equipment that may require replacement or maintenance.

Seat 

Resilient seated valves are the most commonly used types. The interior of the valve body is lined with an elastomer seat. Seats may be made of EPDM, buna, viton, Teflon, natural rubber, carbox, chlorbutyl, white buna, or white neoprene as well as other materials. Choice of seat material depends on temperatures, pressures and material handled.

The seats of some inexpensive butterfly valves are typically molded into the body and cannot be repaired or replaced. Precision butterfly valves typically contain removable seats that are repairable or replaceable.

Disc 

The valve disc (controlled by the actuator) regulates the flow of material within the conveying line. Disc materials are available to meet a variety of application demands: stainless steel, aluminum/bronze, ductile iron, ductile/epoxy coated, ductile/nickel plated, ductile/nylon II coated as well as others. As the disc is directly in the material flow stream, care must be taken in specifying the proper material of construction and disc shape. Some discs are designed to allow increased flow patterns through the piping.

Stem 

The stem passes through the center of the valve, attaches to the actuator, and positions the disc for material flow control and shut off. Depending on the application and valve size, stems may be one or two-piece construction. Typical materials of construction include carbon steel and different grades of stainless steel.

Actuator 

A variety of actuators are available for butterfly valves: manual handle, gear, pneumatic, electric and electro-hydraulic. Also, actuators that may be enclosed in special housings and buried are available for certain underground applications.

Other considerations 

Depending on the application, additional valve features that may need to be considered. Some of these features include: the manner in which the stem and disc are attached, the way the stem and disc assembly mount inside the valve body, undercutting of disc, type of material used in stem bushings and packing, and availability of a ring seal between the seat and valve body.

Working with a company that can offer and properly apply a variety of trim features will enhance the success of the butterfly valve in a specific application.

Applications

As stated earlier, Butterfly Valves are generally specified for most air, gas, steam, and liquid applications. They offer an excellent, economically priced, positive shut-off valve for handling materials (e.g. gases and liquids) that are easily displaced by the valve disc as it closes. When handling this type of material, butterfly valves provide a reliable, bubble-tight, bi-directional shut off.

Care must be taken when applying a butterfly valve in semi-abrasive or abrasive dry material applications (this includes slurry applications that contain suspended particles because: 

1) A valve disc closing on dry bulk material will create premature wear to the rubber seat. 

2) The obstructed orifice created by the disc may cause bridging of material on the inlet side of the valve. 

3) A disc opening or closing on a standing column of dry material may cause the material to jam / pack. 

4) Particles of dry material or suspended particles in slurries may become trapped between the disc and seat, causing conveying line inefficiencies.

Other Types of Butterfly Valves

As a person becomes familiar with butterfly valves, they will undoubtedly discover other types of butterfly valves on the market. Listed below is a brief introduction to some of these other types.

Inflatable Seated Butterfly Valves

Inflatable seated butterfly valves utilize an inflatable seat or bladder to create a seal around the disc. Once the disc is brought to the closed position, the bladder is inflated pneumatically.

Pros: 

1) Since the seal is created after the disc closes, less torque is required to move the disc into the closed position. A smaller sized actuator costing less money is can be used.

2) Again, because the seal is created after the disc closes, minimal abrasion exists between the disc and the seat.

Cons: 

1) In addition to the controls needed to verify the position of the disc, additional controls are needed to identify whether the bladder is inflated or not. These controls add cost to the valve.

2) The bladder may be damaged and not creating a seal, even though controls identify that a seal has been established.

3) The valve must be located near an air supply to pneumatically inflate the bladder. 

4) The inflatable bladder is subject to damage and abrasion, requiring periodic replacement.

High Performance -- Double Offset Butterfly Valve

This type of butterfly valve is ideal for applications involving higher temperatures (up to 1200º F) and higher pressures (up to 1440 psig). The disc and stem are double offset, causing the disc to “cam” into place upon closure.

Pros:

1) A reliable butterfly valve for handling higher temperature and pressure applications.

Cons:

1) Cost -- considerably more expensive than standard butterfly valves.

High Performance -- Triple Offset Butterfly Valve

This type of butterfly valve is often used in refinery and off shore applications where more extreme conditions exist. Most triple offsets utilize a metal on metal seat and disc closure, are rated up to 600# class, and are fire safe.

Pros:

1) A reliable valve for extreme applications.

Cons:

1) Cost -- more expensive than the double-offset butterfly valve.

The double and triple offset butterfly valves are specialized valves for extreme applications.

Salina Vortex Corporation manufacturers a variety of slide gates, diverter valves and iris valves for handling dry bulk material. Vortex butterfly valves are available for air, steam, liquid and certain dry material applications.
