Electron Memories is an idea that represents my Jewelry and accessories made from recycled electronic components. Memories Electron was born by combining my passion for technology, art and the need to live in a less polluted world. I started taking apart old electronics components that are no longer used or thrown in the street that pollute the soil and underground water.
Researched and dabbled on current trends in jewelry and accessories, it began to emerge creatures and objects of art. So, recycling and combining these old electronics devices where electrons circulates before are now only memories of his travels at the speed of light, these gems were born.
Electron Memories es la idea que representa a mis Joyas y accesorios hechos con componentes electrónicos reciclados. Electron Memories nació combinando la pasión por la tecnología, el arte y la necesidad de vivir en un mundo menos contaminado. Comencé desarmando viejos aparatos electrónicos que ya no usaba o que encontraba en la calle e iban a contaminar la tierra y el agua enterrados como relleno. Reconecté mi pasado artístico de maquetista y se despertó nuevamente el artista que estaba hibernando hasta esta primavera de colores y formas característicos de los variopintos componentes electrónicos.
Investigué e incursioné sobre las tendencias actuales en joyas y accesorios y empezaron a surgir criaturas y objetos de arte.
Así reciclando, combinando y resignificando estos antiguos artilugios de la electrónica por donde antes circulaban electrones y hoy sólo quedan los recuerdos de sus viajes a la velocidad de la luz, nacieron estas joyas. Hernan Bressan.

100 axle lines CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMTs assist 3200t giant bridge section roll onto the barge
www.chinaheavylift.com/news/100-axle-lines-chinaheavylift...
April 11 – With the strong support from CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT, our client Guangdong LIFT Engineering Machinery Co.,Ltd(GPEC) was contracted by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry to transport 3,200t giant bridge section roll-on to barge for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province.
This giant bridge section, which total weighed 3,200 tonnes and had the dimensions 132.6 m x 33.1 m, were transported from the fabrication facility yard to the barge by using total 100-axle lines SPMTs. So, how to move this giant steel structure onto the barge safely and accurately? As there’s over 20m distance from the bridge section and barge, crane is not suitable for this project. Based on the analysis of actual situation, our client GPEC choose the better solution of CHINAHEAVYLIFT S2.43 Self Propelled Modular Transporters(SPMT), which is more cost-effective and easier to operate.
Detail CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT transport system configuration:
100 axle lines S2.43 SPMT (10 units – 6 lines module, 10 units – 4 lines module) compose 4 big SPMT module
4 PPU (390kw Mercedes Benz engine for Power Pack Unit)
1 Wireless Remote control
Normally it will take 5-6 hours to roll-on, but in this project, we need complete the whole process in 2 hours as the reason of Tidal influence. Also, high precision is essential for roll-on, deviation is controlled smaller than 5mm in every 100m movement. This requires everyone and every steps close-cooperation and no mistake permitted.
The most difficult is, when SPMT move onto the barge, the barge will swing and tilt with the change of weight. So how to keep balance? Thanks to the hydraulic steady system of CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT, which adopt reliable Germany brand main components and have hydraulic compensation stroke of approx. 700mm (±350mm). Hydraulic support cylinder on suspension is connected to each other by steel pipes and hose. With a cut-off valve (ball valve) for grouping the hydraulic cylinder. Support system is set to three hydraulic group according to cargo weight, center of gravity location and road conditions. This ensures a uniform axle load in Uneven road when traveling. Besides, the barge is equiped with pressurized cabin to outward drainage to ensure the balance.
Through two hours efforts, CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT successfully assist the 3200t giant bridge section roll-onto the barge, this is the first step of HZMB CB02 project, one historic move in Chinese Bridge Construction area. But For CHINAHEAVYLIFT, just another case with SPMT.

92016 WFBC DOLLANDSM 890B241D01 F WEMBLEYYD N
In September 2017 the transformer of 92016 was found to have been cracked and the locomotive dragged away for storage. When working from the overhead wires the 25 kV AC power must be converted to 1370 volt AC so that it can be used by a class 92 locomotives traction motors. This is done by the transformer which is positioned underneath the locomotive towards the cab 2 end of the common zone but much of it is obscured by the batteries and transformer tank filled with oil used for cooling and insulation.

The Avalanche Detection System at Bear Pass, on Hwy 37A, gathers data about moving snow and ice masses on large expanses of avalanche terrain, up to five kilometres away.
When there’s movement, the radar recognizes that as an algorithm matching avalanche activity, captures the information and triggers a real-time alert which is sent to our Bear Pass avalanche team. The message contains critical information such as location, size and frontal speed of the event, that the team can immediately analyze, to determine the response required and any risks set off by the movement.
Traditionally, one aspect of avalanche monitoring is on-site observation, which restricts the team’s ability to collect data on avalanche activity to daylight hours and good weather. The AADS helps our avalanche experts to continuously monitor avalanche activity day or night, in any weather condition, from their mobile device.

The New Zealand bellbird (Anthornis melanura), also known by its Māori names korimako and makomako, is a passerine bird endemic to New Zealand. The bellbird forms a significant component of the famed New Zealand dawn chorus of bird song that was much noted by early European settlers. The explorer Captain Cook wrote of its song "it seemed to be like small bells most exquisitely tuned". Its bell-like song is sometimes confused with that of the tui.
DESCRIPTION
Bellbirds are green with a short, curved bill, slightly forked tail, and noisy whirring, fast and direct flight. Adult males are olive green, slightly paler on the underparts, with a dark purplish sheen on their head and blackish outer wing and tail. Females are a duller olive brown with a blue sheen on the head and yellowish-white curving from the base of the bill to below the eye. Adults of both sexes have a notably red eye. They are about 17–20 cm from the tip of their beak to the end of their tail. Juveniles are similar to females, but with a light yellow cheek stripe, brown eyes and lacking the bluish gloss on the head.
VOICE
Song varies regionally but is ringing notes without grunts or wheezes. Alarm call a rapidly repeated harsh “yeng”. The famous bell notes noted by Sir Joseph Banks in Queen Charlotte Sound on James Cook first voyage to NZ are only heard when many birds are present at once, mostly at dawn and dusk in places of high bellbird density with few other bird species.
CLASSIFICATION
There are four sub-species: NZ bellbird (A. melanura melanura/dumerii), Poor Knights bellbird (A. melanura oneho), Three Kings bellbird (A. melanura obscura), and the Chatham bellbird (A. Melanocephala) that became extinct in the early 20th century.
DISTRIBUTION
The bellbird is found throughout both the main islands of New Zealand apart from the north of the North Island. Its population and distribution had been seriously affected by the introduction of European-style farming, which has led to the removal of native forests (the natural habitat of the bellbird). Another important factor is the introduction of predatory species such as cats, weasels, stoats, ferrets, rats and food-robbing species like wasps. Predators either eat the birds or consume eggs, while food robbers compete with the bellbird for its natural food sources of nectar, honeydew and insects. The decline occurred around the same time as many other NZ species, but for unknown reasons was reversed and the species is still common across much of New Zealand.
BREEDING
Bellbirds breed in spring and summer (two broods), building a loose nest of twigs and grasses, lined with feathers and fine grasses. Most nests are in a fork under dense cover, from near ground level to >5m. The clutch size is typically 3-4, rarely up to 5 eggs. The female incubates and both parents care for the young.
THREATS AND CONSERVATION
Bellbirds are common throughout most of their range, and can reach extraordinarily high densities on predator-free offshore islands (e.g. 5.5 to 9.1 pairs per hectare). The cause of the rapid decline of the bellbird from Northland and around Auckland in the 1860s is a matter for speculation. At least nine attempts had been made to translocate bellbirds to islands or mainland sites up to 2012; most failed, and none has yet resulted in a well-established population.
BEHAVIOUR AND ECOLOGY
Bellbirds are territorial when breeding, but may leave the territory to feed at nearby sources of concentrated food, such as nectar. After breeding they move around, usually alone, although several may feed simultaneously in a flowering tree. Males are substantially larger than females and often dominate at concentrated food sources such as nectar sources. The outer primaries of males are notched and these produce a whirring when the birds are in flight and males accentuate the sound during territorial disputes. The oldest known bird was over 8 years. Banded birds have moved up to 10 km, but they are likely to move greater distances when searching for concentrated food source during winter.
FOOD
Bellbirds mainly feed on nectar from many native and introduced plants. They use their brush-like tongue to reach deeply into flowers. In late summer and autumn they take fruit, and in beech forests they take honeydew from scale insects on beech trunks. Bellbirds also eat many insects and spiders by gleaning trunks, branches and leaves; also by hawking. Young appear to be fed insects almost exclusively. As honeyeaters they play an important part pollinating numerous native plants such as mistletoe, flax, fuchsia and kowhai. Subsequently, when feeding on fruits they have a role in dispersing the seeds, and so they assist in the regeneration of the forest in at least two ways.

Because you asked, here's a description of the making of Helium Head.
Though I was giddy and lightheaded with this idea, getting in the air required more than inhaling some helium. My first attempt had me hanging by my hands from a tree branch I could reach by jumping. My camera was mounted to my tripod which was laying on the ground with the camera head angled up. Even with my lens zoomed out to 18mm, I couldn't get my whole body into the frame. I had to get higher, so using a ladder was the answer.
To keep from breaking any limbs (mine, not tree limbs), I set my ladder next to a tree and lashed it to the trunk so that when I was at the top, the ladder wouldn't tip over and put me on my head. After about 4-5 attempts of pushing the shutter button set on a 10 second timer, scrambling up the ladder and turning to sit sideways on the top step (try hanging onto a ladder with just your butt) I was able to get a shot I was happy with. (I suspect I entertained, or perhaps worried my neighbors with all this activity as well) In post production, I used a layer mask and black brush set to about 80% edge hardness to remove the background from around my body.
Next shot was to get a separate photo of my head against a blue sky so I wouldn't have to do any work cutting out around my hair. I moved to a new location, making sure I was still facing into the sun. I added a strobe to the camera to reduce the shadows under my brow, nose, chin, and in my mouth, then held back my collar so that it wouldn't be included in the enlarged head photo. In post-production I used a layer mask to cut-out my head and place it into the body image, then used the warp tool to reduce the size of my neck to fit into my smaller collar opening.
I shot the top branches of a tree to add to the bottom of the photo to help with the illusion that I was rising above the ground. I blurred the tree branches to give them the appearance in the final image of being farther away and not the main focus of the image. Blurring the branches made my feet appear extra sharply focused and helped separate them from the background.
Lastly, I pulled a photo of clouds from my stock "Clouds" folder (I often shoot pictures of just clouds to keep for later use) and composed them into the shot for a little extra detail. Color adjustment, contrast, and spot sharpening was done to the overall image and wallah - 4 hours later I was done!

In October 2017 SLAC installed the first of LCLS-II’s cryogenic “feed caps” and “end caps.” LCLS-II’s superconducting particle accelerator requiring liquid 2.0K helium and other coolants to be constantly cycled through the accelerator during operations. These components provide the interfaces between the cryogenic distribution system above ground and “cryomodules” that accelerate the electron beam down in the tunnel 25 feet underground. The feed caps and end caps mark the first major components to be installed in the accelerator tunnel for LCLS-II’s superconducting accelerator.

Fecha de creación: 1946
La Escuela de Técnicas de Mando, Control y Telecomunicaciones (EMACOT) es una Unidad histórica que, con la denominación de Escuela de Transmisiones del Ejército del Aire, fue creada por el ministro del Aire, Eduardo González Gallarza, como uno de los componentes del "Servicio de Transmisiones del Ejército del Aire" (Boletín Oficial del Aire núm.15 de 2 de febrero de 1946), para el perfeccionamiento teórico y práctico del personal que prestase su servicio en transmisiones.
En 1949 comenzó a impartirse el primer curso de Transmisiones en el Acuartelamiento del primer Regimiento de Transmisiones, en la madrileña colonia de El Viso.
Por Orden Ministerial de 25 de enero de 1950 se reorganizó el "Servicio de Transmisiones del Ejército del Aire", suprimiéndose la Jefatura de Instrucción de dicho Servicio y como consecuencia, la Escuela de Transmisiones asumió directamente las misiones de formación de especialistas de esta materia. El día 2 de septiembre del mismo año tomó posesión el coronel Fernando Alfaro y del Puedo, su primer jefe y organizador.
Tras diversas vicisitudes, el 29 de mayo de 1951, fue cuando la Escuela de Transmisiones se trasladó al lugar donde actualmente radica, al sur de la Base Aérea de Cuatro Vientos, carretera de Extremadura kilómetro 10.600, principalmente dentro del término municipal de Alcorcón, ciudad con la que le unen especiales vínculos de relación.
En febrero de 1952 se incorporaron a la Escuela de Transmisiones los soldados alumnos aspirantes a Ayudantes de Especialistas: Radiotelegrafistas, Mecánicos de Transmisiones y Mecánicos de Radio, procedentes de la Escuela de Especialistas de Málaga que se trasladó como tal a su nueva sede en León, iniciándose con ellos las actividades de formación de tropa especialista. En marzo de 1953, la Escuela consolidó sus actividades de formación, iniciándose en sus instalaciones, el primer curso completo de especialistas.
Por otro lado, en 1958 inició sus actividades como Escuela de Controladores de Interceptación, con la instalación del simulador de una sala de operaciones del Sistema de Defensa Aérea, en el histórico edificio de Jefatura de Estudios de la Escuela.
Merece especial mención que la Escuela desde su traslado a Cuatro Vientos y hasta 1972 contó con una Unidad de Vuelo para las prácticas de alumnos y entrenamiento del profesorado, ubicada en el hangar principal y la plataforma del actual Museo del Aire, que a partir de 1965 se denominó 755 Escuadrón y en 1970 pasó a ser la 515 Escuadrilla, utilizando principalmente el T-2B Júnker Ju-52, entre otros como la E-3B Bucker BU-131, el Huarte Mendicoa HM-1 y el Hispano Suiza HS-42.
El 26 de junio de 1960, se entregó a la Escuela su primer Estandarte, regalo de la Asociación Técnica Española de Constructores de Material Aeronáutico (ATECMA).
El 8 de julio de 1966, por Orden Ministerial núm. 1262/66 de 8 de julio (Boletín Oficial del Aire número 82), se crea la Escuela de Formación Profesional Industrial (de Primer Grado) del Ejército del Aire de Cuatro Vientos, sita en la Escuela de Transmisiones. Dicha Escuela desarrolló su labor docente en las ramas Eléctrica (Instalador-montador) y Electrónica, hasta septiembre del año 1986, formando hasta veinte promociones. También un año antes concluía la Instrucción Técnica Especial (ITE) que se venía impartiendo en la Escuela a personal de Tropa en materias técnicas, habiéndose formado quince promociones de alumnos.
El 12 de julio de 1978 se inauguró, por Su Majestad el Rey don Juan Carlos I, la Plaza de Armas de la Escuela, coincidiendo con la entrega de despachos a todos los sargentos especialistas del Ejército del Aire promocionados ese año.
El 13 de julio de 1982 se cambió el Estandarte con el nuevo escudo constitucional, aprovechando la entrega de despachos a los Sargentos Especialistas y el 7 de julio de 1989 se celebró la entrega e imposición de una corbata honorífica al Estandarte por acuerdo del Ayuntamiento de Alcorcón, durante el acto de entrega de despachos a los nuevos sargentos especialistas.
El 29 de octubre de 1992 se tuvo el honor de recibir de nuevo la visita de Su Majestad el Rey don Juan Carlos I, a quien se le presentó un nuevo simulador de Defensa Aérea, basado en la tecnología del Sistema de Defensa Aérea de Canarias.
El 5 de septiembre de 1996, la Escuela de Transmisiones ha pasado a denominarse Escuela de Técnicas de Mando, Control y Telecomunicaciones (EMACOT), integrándose más tarde en la Base Aérea de Cuatro Vientos con carácter de unidad independiente.
A partir del año 2000, una vez decidida la integración en un único área doctrinal C2/CIS de las materias de Mando y Control, Telecomunicaciones, Sistemas de Información y Seguridad de la Información Electrónica, la Escuela ha preparado y realizado una serie de cursos, nuevos o modificados, para la dirección, el planeamiento, la operación y el mantenimiento de estos Sistemas CIS.
En el verano de 2002 entra en funcionamiento el nuevo Simulador de Defensa Aérea, de tecnología análoga al nuevo sistema de mando y control implantado en los centros operativos de Grupo Central de Mando y Control, Grupo Norte de Mando y Control, y Grupo de Alerta y Control.
En Navidades de 2002, una sección compuesta por un teniente, un sargento, un cabo primero y 24 cabos y soldados de esta Escuela participó en la recogida del fuel vertido por el petrolero Prestige en las costas gallegas.
El 28 de marzo del 2003 se celebró, con un solemne acto militar, los cincuenta años del ingreso en la Escuela de su 1ª Promoción de Soldados Ayudantes de Especialistas (Radiotelegrafistas, Mecánicos de Radio y Mecánicos de Transmisiones).
En los últimos años la EMACOT sigue ejerciendo funciones de Centro de Formación Militar para Personal de Tropa, de acuerdo a lo previsto en la Ley 17/99 y en virtud de esta función se han realizado en la plaza de armas de la misma, actos solemnes de Juramento o Promesa de fidelidad ante la Bandera de España, de alumnos de tropa, de ciclos formativos, de diferentes especialidades.
El 24 de noviembre de 2003 se celebró en el salón de actos de la EMACOT el 75 aniversario de la creación de la Escuela Superior de Aerotecnia, con un solemne acto académico presidido por Su Majestad el Rey y que contó con destacadas autoridades civiles y militares. Los edificios principales de la Escuela se construyeron para ubicar en 1930 la entonces Escuela Superior de Aerotecnia, que impartió enseñanzas de ingeniería aeronáutica por primera vez en España.
Desde 2003, sucesivos Jefes de Estado Mayor del Ejército del Aire han visitado oficialmente la Escuela:
El día 2 de abril de 2003, general del aire Eduardo González-Gallarza Morales.
El día 5 de octubre de 2005, general del aire Francisco José García de la Vega.
El día 7 de noviembre de 2008, general del aire José Jiménez Ruiz.
La Escuela muestra con orgullo su historia y su personal es consciente de la responsabilidad que tiene de conservar sus tradiciones y, al mismo tiempo, innovar en las materias de su competencia, sujetas a una continua evolución tecnológica.
