Facebook’s Top Brass Say They Knew Nothing About Definers. Don’t Believe Them. | Brass Nut

Still, even as he laughed he paused, a few more highlights coming back into focus. There was Gino Marchetti watching in a stretcher on the sidelines, after he suffered a broken leg but refused to leave the field.

Ron Schwieters, product manager, Komatsu, says the company’s approach is unique in that it uses externally mounted cylinder sensors on the boom, stick and bucket. These are position sensors; there are IMUs in place in other locations on the machine. Compared to other designs using internal sensors, he says, Komatsu’s approach yields faster sensor response times and components that are easier to maintain. Schwieters says their system stores the entire bucket profile, not just the teeth. The semi-automatic system is active only when the bucket or other attachment is in contact with the design surface. Even when the semi-automatic is running, the operator runs the excavator as usual. The performance of the system enables the intelligent excavator to complete tasks that, in the past, would have required a dozer and excavator working together. Because the intelligent excavator can do much of what a dozer has done in the past, that dozer can now work in other areas of the project or on another project.

“Ditching and grading normally is not as abusive as high-production dig and load-out applications, so there is not a big concern over damaging the tilting mechanism,” he continues. “Tilting buckets and tilting couplers can be very expensive, however. But if the owner’s job requires large amounts of land formation on slopes and valleys, a tilting mechanism can pay for itself in little time.”

It doesn’t get much cleaner than this one guys. Lima with a text book leaping left hook that Laprise doesn’t read properly, the punch lands to the jaw and Laprise drops.

Between zero and two weeks old, they are functionally blind and deaf, and can’t stand up – so they move around by shuffling, like seals. When not competing for a teat, they can often be seen in a "cuddle puddle" formation – nestled close to each other and their mother for comfort and warmth.

Nearmap says the MapBrowser helps customers significantly reduce onsite visits during the quoting and planning stages of projects and complements their remote roof/site inspection workflows.

Dymax says its pallet forks with hydraulically adjustable tines are designed to quickly handle, place and plant wrapped trees, while also handling pallets in and around nursery grounds. The tines, which are available in lengths of 48 to 60 inches, are mounted to a 52-inch-wide fork carriage. The tines are easily adjusted by two hydraulic cylinders, the company says. The pallet forks attach to skid steers and compact wheel loaders.

“My only thought is that an angle function on the blade would be useful, provided you could add that function without detracting in any way from the blade’s present capability,” said Frieders. “With a multifunction blade like that, the 920 might be able to take a machine out of the picture on some sites.”

“It will pull stumps out without busting them more than ten times faster than a bucket,” Thompson said.

Flight of the Horus I tested the Horus-M3 CC through Mesa/Boogie Tremoverb and Fender Prosonic amps. The Caparison pickups—SH-27F single-coil in the neck and PH-bc humbucker in the bridge—deliver distinctly classic metal colors that also manage to be a refreshing change from the sound of active pickups so prominent in modern metal. The neck pickup is quiet, exceptionally clear, and is free of the woofy qualities that plague some high gain neck pickups. The bridge pickup is tight and crunchy, and lends itself to chugging riffs like the intro to Iron Maiden’s “22 Acacia Avenue” and singing harmony melodies like the riff to “Aces High.” Interestingly, the sonic differences and volume ranges between the three pickup positions are not worlds apart in some high-gain settings. The upside is that changing between the three positions delivers very organic shifts in tone color.

By six weeks, the rascally brood are annoying their mother with their sharp puppy teeth, and it’s time for them to start the first leg of their training journey.
