Reaction injection moulding (RIM) and Reinforced reaction injection moulding (RRIM)

...types of monomers are mixed together before being injected into a mould, where they polymerise to form the plastic component. In reinforced reaction injection molding, reinforcing agents are added to the monomer mixture...General arrangement: [Diagram to illustrate the reaction injection moulding process (as per article)] Schematic outline of mixing apparatus for RIM....

Electron beam welding

...types of electron beam welding: High vacuum (HV-EBW): Workpiece at 10-4–0.1 Pa, highest purity welds, deepest penetration, lowest shrinkage and distortion, highest capital and maintenance costs, longest pump-down times (3–30 min), slowest production rate. Medium vacuum (MV-EBW): Workpiece at 0.1–3000 Pa, lower purity, wider, more tapered, less penetrating welds,...

...type of threat to national security than we are accustomed to today,” the report said. Controversial role Lord Ashdown foresees a direct and controversial role for military forces in the near future − not simply in fighting these wars, but also in controlling refugee flows. Asked whether he thought the UK’s armed forces would be ordered to defend the country’s...

...types of router – from those used by major telecoms operators, through to domestic routers sold to customers. It points out that many of these devices are either poorly secured by manufacturers, or do not receive the necessary updates to fix security issues. The attacks are known as ‘man in the middle attacks’ where hackers compromise a device involved in an...

The secrets of the brain

...types of cells in the brain, depending on their functions. For example, there are epithelial cells, which are in charge of creating CSF, and neurons, in charge of transmitting information. There are endothelial cells, which stay together to be blood vessels, and astrocytes, which make up a big portion of the brain tissue and have many functions such as helping other cells...

Big data and bioinformatics: Powerful tools for decoding DNA

...type of data is therefore becoming increasingly important. It allows scientists to fully make use of the information available, and allows them to compare and analyse data generated from different sources. It can be used to find new links between genes and disease that may be responsible for diseases such as cancer. Armed with this information we can work towards the...
