"Shrinking" streetlights in black and white, looking down the highway which passes through Ashmore, Illinois in the midst of a dense fog advisory.
Notice that Yoplait has shrunk to either 6-oz or 4-oz, depending on size. Their package looks to be the same size, but...
I visited Universal Studios in Los Angeles in the summer of 1969.
The main attractions were a tour around the back lot and props from the 1957 "The Incredible Shrinking Man".
The European village set. The 1960's TV series "Combat" was filmed here.
Record-breaking Class 43 HST Power Car, 43102 (43302) "The Journey Shrinker" leads the EMR InterCity 1B28 07:40 Leeds to St Pancras service past the famous Brush works at Loughborough.
43102 - recently repainted into the striking InterCity Swallow livery - was one of the pair of power cars that still holds the World Record for a diesel train, reaching 148.5 mph on 1 November 1987.
The HSTs are to be withdrawn from EMR's Midland Main Line services in mid-May - signalling the end of scheduled mainline HST services to/from London after over 40 years.
I decided to try acetone shrinking some Kelly doll shoes to fit my Dawn dolls since Dawn shoes go for $20+ online and i’m cheap. While it’s not a dramatic difference, the pink shoes fit much better on Dawn so thats good.

Not just fit and finish, Pango make a second blower tube and hide it if not use. We make the two tubes on different of the bouncer so that could fit the power location. Looking down the road you will find you need a second inflation tube. We want to make sure clients could use the bouncer convenient.
Stronger Baffles
Baffles that are secured by a 840 denier material that provides the MAXIMUM strength of the internal baffling of every inflatables. This material upgrade is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. This material is key to the overall durability of the products we sell.
D Ring Expose
Take a close look at the construction of the "d" rings in the products we sell. A tether system is only as strong as its weakest link. Tether points on the inflatable are extremely durable. The "d" ring tethering System have been laboratory-tested and certified by Professional Engineers for use on all giant slides and all other types of inflatables.
Vinyl（PVCTarpaulin） Expose
At Pango Inflatable, the only products we sell are constructed from the finest coated vinyl. Unlike other vinyl producers, the Coated Vinyl are Lead-Free in addition to meeting the EN71 test by SGS. Lead-Free vinyl are a standard that has been that way since day one. Exposure to lead is dangerous to children. The products Pango Inflatable sell are safe from the effects of lead. As for durability, the materials are a weft inserted substrate, which makes any possible rips virtually impossible.
No Wax Surfaces
We provide removable sliding surfaces for every slides we made, While other only provide the normal vinyl, Inflatable vinyl is not naturally slippery, therefore, waxing has become a normal preparation for getting a slide ready for use. The removable sliding surface found the on the products we sell is a high polished urethane coating, which in turn reduces the need to wax.
Zipper with Flaps
Unlike others, Pango Inflatable sells products that are easy to use. For example, the deflation zipper utilizes a Velcro flap that covers the zipper, thus, less air is lost and zippers are not exposed to abrasion or mischief.
Blower Tube Strap
While most manufacturers tie their blower inflation tubes to the blower system, however, the products Pango Inflatable sells, utilizes a universal sleeve with a cinching Velcro strap. One- handed operation keeps the tube securely attached to the blower system.
Liquid Laminator
DWe do the Digital Printing in our factory, unlike most factory here in China, they do the printing outside and could not control the delivery time and the quality. igitally printed graphics are one thing, keeping those beautiful images durable as well scratch and fade resistant is quite another. Every digital image used within an inflatable sold by Pango Inflatable is clear-coated with a special liquid laminate that is vulcanized to the vinyl surface.
Finger-Safe Netting
Most bouncer manufacturers use 1" or 2" netting. A child bouncing can easily catch their fingers in that size of netting, thus serious injuries can happen. Only the Pango Inflatable could provide netting that even a small child's finger cannot penetrate. Yet, the netting is still transparent enough to allow for easy viewing.
Removable Covers
Virtually every area that your customers step, slide or climb upon is on a replaceable & easily removable vinyl cover. From climbing stairs, to entrance tunnel sleeves to sliding surfaces, Pango Inflatable only sells products that are designed for high-volume traffic.
Safety Door on Bouncers
Worried about children possibly falling out of a bouncer? Don't be. We got 3 points of reinforcement on the entrance of the bouncer which make the entrance very strong. Also we add the step outside the entrance following the AU and USA standards of jumping castle.
On-Staff Engineering and Designing
We do reinforce stitching at the fixion of D-ring. Four stitching line will share the tension of the bouncer. This made the D-ring last much longer and stronger. Other factory use other design of the fixion, but will not good for the tension sharing. Could find the differnce in the attached photos.
Cushion Designs
We do cushion between the wall and the base. When the kids bounce on the bouncer this parts bear most of the pressure, so this new design will make this parts much more strong and safety, while other factory only stitch to the base.

Saw some startups and shrinks clustered together…
I had to call the first one to talk to the big man….
My main concern with 7.85" mini iPad rumors has always been the questionable usability of apps designed for a 9.7" screen and appearing scaled on a screen 35% smaller.
That was one of the starting point of the reflexion on the Missing Link few months ago.
Now, this solution is not perfect: a device this size, while missing in Apple offering, has probably too much trade-offs, it's still too big while not big enough.
I finally think that rather than to make only one device in the middle, this size (and then, kind of usages related) could be approached with two different devices, one smaller and one larger. Namely, a larger iPod Touch and a smaller iPad.
But I still was circumspect about the real usability of a shrinked iPad.
To my knowledge, the 7.85" rumors are only speculations, quite consistent, based on probable easy availability of 163 ppi screens for Apple, and at 1024x768 the size fall in the good range and allow to run iPad apps.
Sure, using a screen at the same pixel density as the original iPhone ensure the 44 px large minimal touch area used on both iPhone and iPad to appear at the same physical size on the 7.85" screen. But would it be as comfortable as to use apps on the 9.7" iPad?
What is just good enough for a phone because of its small form factor constraint can be adressed with larger size devices. And the 44 px constraint was kept with the iPad although, because of the lower pixel density, the physical measure is bigger.
While fingers size doesn't change when moving from an iPhone to an iPad, losing the precision needed to have when using an iPhone is welcome when using an iPad, even more when the screen is not as close as with an iPhone.
But more importantly, the quantity of data you can display (image, video, text) is relative to the surface of the screen and the area allocated to content in an app and the physical size it will be on screen.
I doubt a 35% smaller (surface) screen would always allow to do the same tasks. I'm not sure apps written for the 7.85" could always be easily written to also efficiently use the 50% larger surface that the 9.7" screen is. If every app have to look good and to be usable on the 7.85" screen, losing data area for UI elts, then wouldn't they only look like as expanded version of the 7.85" UX on the 9.7" ?
Even if an iPad app could be usable on the mini iPad, inevitably some apps would require work from developers to ensure support of the 2 sizes. At the exact same resolution, they'd have to adapt to the smaller screen, maybe sometimes using bigger font size or bitmaps elements because it now becomes too small. etc. And doing so, apps would then appear with too big elements on the larger iPad. Or you'd have to be able to create apps UI for each iPad size separatly...
App developpers wouldn't do like before when they only had 1 size of screen to target, and could lead to deteriorate apps' UX on the 9.7".
If you only use your iPad for watching photos or videos, it is maybe not really important. But most people use their iPad for way more things, and especially deal with a lot of text, and first of all read it as part of UI elements. And then there is e-mails, webpages, books, calendars, etc.
I'd welcome the idea of trading the quantity of data displayed on screen with the comfort to use a subset of it displayed at the identical size to on the 9.7" iPad.
Auto Layout coming to iOS, and helping to consider Apple could change its iPhone screen size and resolution (including aspect ratio, but not necessarily) while maintaining app compatibility with the different screens sizes, provides a solution to the previous problem (a link to some details and some videos examples).
What if, rather than simply shrink the whole iPad interface and apps on 7.85 inches, Apple and then app developers took advantages of Auto Layout for a new and smaller iPad, allowing apps to adapt to screens while maintaining identical the physical sizes of elements on screen?
After few seconds in a calculator, a 1600x1200 screen at the same pixel density as the retina iPad (264 ppi) is about 7.6".
This is not exactly the same case as going to a larger (vertical 16:9, or in both directions 3:2) iPhone screen. Here the screen is going smaller.
Auto layout is not resolution independance, but is one more brick to help manage different screen sizes (as soon as variation are limited: the point is not to help create apps working on both a pocket-size device and a tablet-size device, but, on two sizes of devices of the same category).
At first, before app updates [when necessary], every 1024x768 standard iPad apps could as well be rendered full screen by iOS (but then shrinked), the retina screen smoothing the scaling on bitmaps elements (about similar with the 1920x1200 highest resolution on the retina MBP, where the 3840x2400 resolution is being scaled on the 2880x1800 pixels of the screen, iPad apps could here be scaled down on the 1600x1200 pixels from the 2048x1536 resolution).
Would 40% less pixels allow devs to create apps running on both iPad variants?
Is Auto Layout capable to help create UIs for 2 iPad sizes?
Apple most likely would re-use mainly iPad 2 hardware for its iPad Mini (update). Would it be able to give a good experience and deal with the pixels of a 1600x1200 screen?
-----
Here is a quick mockup of a 7.6" mini iPad, the thin lateral bezels as shown here could allow make it only 125 mm wide.
This aims at illustrating layout adjustment. Every element and font is then displayed at the same size on both screen, but the vertical difference imply less lines on the small one. No trade-off in experience but a smaller screen logically imply less data on screen.
-----
Side idea:
With the assumption that iPad apps with Auto Layout could support smaller resolutions (relatively close to the full size),
It becomes easy to imagine some kind of Exposé mode allowing to temporary display a condensed (and not miniaturized) opened app from the app switcher on top of the current app opened, interact with its content, then slide it back to the app switcher to go back to the original fullscreen app - or - switch to the condensed app going fullscreen.

This one was on sale in the 'Energy Home' raw vegan restaurant in Pondicherry. Yes... raw food... and vegan! Even the idli [rice and mung dumplings] and dosa [rice and mung pancakes], the traditional south Indian foods, were raw. And amazingly, they tasted really great - both succulent and spicy.
Wholesome green salads, let alone pure raw food, and what to speak of vegan food, are absolute rarities in India. Food is generally fried and double-fried - and drizzled with ghee for good measure. But this place was doing a roaring trade.
In Energy Home, you can get white lotus and hibiscus coconut milkshakes and strange ayurvedic herbal jams and sweets. If you're going to Pondy, check them out: Chetty Street, off Mission Street...
