Eltrombopag (rINN, codenamed SB-497115-GR) is a medication that has been developed for conditions that lead to thrombocytopenia (abnormally low platelet counts). It is a small molecule agonist of the c-mpl (TpoR) receptor, which is the physiological target of the hormone thrombopoietin. Eltrombopag was discovered as a result of research collaboration between GlaxoSmithKline and Ligand Pharmaceuticals. Designated an orphan drug in the USA and European Union, it is being manufactured and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline under the trade name Promacta in the USA and will be marketed as Revolade in the EU. Eltrombopag was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on November 20, 2008.[1] Eltrombopag received FDA breakthrough treatment designation in February 2014 for patients with aplastic anemia for which immunosuppression has not been successful.[2] It has been shown to produce a trilineage hematopoesis in some patients with aplastic anemia, resulting in increased platelet counts, along with red and white blood cell counts.[3]
In preclinical studies, the compound was shown to interact selectively with the thrombopoietin receptor, leading to activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and increased proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes. Animal studies confirmed that administration could increase platelet counts. In 73 healthy volunteers, higher doses of eltrombopag caused larger increases in the number of circulating platelets without tolerability problems.[4]
Clinical trials[edit]
Eltrombopag has been studied, and shown to be effective, in two major clinical syndromes: idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura[5] and cirrhosis due to hepatitis C (in which low platelet counts may be a contraindication for interferon treatment).[6] After 6 weeks of therapy in a phase III trial, eltrombopag 50 mg/day was associated with a significantly higher response rate than placebo in adult patients with chronic ITP.[7]

Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
My 12 yr old son and I had just a day in Barcelona, (fly in fly out). I chose the hop-on hop-off east to west route. I have to say i am so pleased we did - we managed top get all around Barcelona with commentary and just jumped off when we found what we were looking for - Gaudi etc. It was extremely easy to navigate as well as giving us lots of information, which you wouldn't get otherwise. Facades of buildings, what they "used" to be, it was really interesting. the wifi was a little tricky if you don't have email already activated on your phone, you can't get the link.which can be frustrating. i used the wifi at the top of the Gaudi apartment to access my email and then we had wifi on the bus. not everyone would know how to get around that problem, and when you are travelling free wifi is what you are looking for.
My Photos
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
wow, this was the most amazing thing i saw in Spain. i studied Gaudi at art school and to be able to stand in that space and see exactly how it was meant to be, i was breathless . Magnificant. Skip the queue you dont want to be standing there waiting in the cold. Commentary was excellent, crtazy expensive gift shop but we bought lots none the less. It was the highlight of Barcelona - do it!

Five Episodes of The Walking Dead that Rocked My World
The Walking Dead comes back into all of our lives tonight. I considered compiling a list of "best" episodes, but found the task too daunting. What's the criteria? How many episodes do I limit it to?

Scandal: The Guiltiest, or the Pleasure-iest of All Guilty Pleasures?
Um, guys, have you seen Scandal? It. Is. Crazy. I mean, what are we supposed to do with this bizarre West-Wing-Gone-Wild mash-up of political drama and soap opera? What are we to do but…but…become sort of obsessed with it?

Proffitt's Entertainment Resolutions, 2014
Most years, I keep my resolutions simple. Back when I was a smoker, it was always to quit. That never worked, of course, but it was a good stand-by resolution.

Don't use the same external drive for backup and storage
Marios Papadopoulos stores media files on a 1TB external hard drive. He asked about using the same drive for backup.
Technically speaking, there's no reason why you couldn't use the same hard drive for backing up your internal drive and storing overflow data that don't fit on your internal drive. But doing so is a really bad idea.

Bedrock (or Adminium) is the Raw material that is found in the bottom few levels of the world in Minecraft. It is the hardest material in the game, and in Survival Mode, no matter what tool you hit it with, you will not be able destroy it. Even with TNT, this block cannot be broken or moved by a Piston. In Creative Mode, however, you can break and place Bedrock - it is often used in creating impenetrable cells, for example.
The following video shows a journey from normal land all the way down to the Bedrock. You can also see natural Lava down there.
As you can see in the image above, sometimes natural holes occur (from World Seed generation) in some parts of the bedrock. Should you use Mods or you are in Creative Mode, it is also possible to break through Bedrock. Either way, if you fall through these holes, you will fall into "The Void" for about 5 seconds, die, and lose everything in your inventory with no way to get it back.

Splinter Cell Conviction™ Review
Gameloft have brought the latest game in the Splinter Cell saga 'Conviction' to the iPhone, giving gamers a chance to follow the story of super agent Sam Fisher in this intense action-stealth title. Conviction has brought the series back from a strong stealth-oriented system that makes Fisher more of a stealthy action hero than a deadly ninja. This has simplified the controls immensely, requiring only the analogue stick to automatically transition between fast and stealthy movement an…Watch The Video Review
Love Love Review
With so many Apps coming out each day - some from major companies, most from independent groups - it's easy to miss some real gems. Love Love by Bambalam is a diamond that shouldn't be passed over if you love puzzle match titles. In a similar vein to Dr Mario inspired games, blocks enter the screen as paired groups using each of the primary colors (red, yellow and blue) or a gray 'broken heart'. Matches are made by joining 4 or more same colored blocks directly, however there's an add…Watch The Video Review
Dominion HD iPad Review
One of the iPad's greatest successes has been opening up the potential for table-top games to go digital, making it easy for multiple players to play on a tabletop or pass around. Dominion HD is Chillingo's latest iPad game and a direct adaption of the classic strategic board game Risk. All of the game's controls are menu driven and features a comprehensive tutorial not only to teach you the controls but also run you through your first match as you learn the game's rules. Dominion is…Watch The Video Review
Pocket Creatures Review
Almost less than a week after their micro-game App 'Crazy Test' hit the store, developer Tactile Entertainment has released their much anticipated title 'Pocket Creatures' for the iPhone and iPad. You'll take charge of an insanely cute critter as he explores what at first seems like an extremely small environment that turns in to a treasure-trove of gameplay to explore. Double touching and dragging the screen will give you the lay of the land, allowing you to quickly check out the gam…Watch The Video Review
PewPew 2 Review
It's hard not to overstate how excellent PewPew 2 by Jean-Francois Geyelin is, but I'll try not to gush too much. Where so many twin-stick shooters are content with throwing tonnes of enemies at you with varied AI to mix up the difficulty, PewPew 2 builds on the original by challenging your dexterity, accuracy and puzzle solving skills with levels that are brimming with great design and varied gameplay. Much like any twin-stick shooter you'll be faced with one stick that controls your…Watch The Video Review
Skate It by EA Review
Skate It by Electronic Arts is finally here after almost two months since it was first announced and brings its unique brand of simulated skateboarding to the App Store. Instead of jabbing a variety of virtual buttons or a d-pad to pull off your tricks, players can combine swipe gestures to string together a chain of tricks. The control system has been pulled out of the Nintendo DS version and given an appropriate upgrade for the iPhone, making it more responsive than its hand-held br…Watch The Video Review
Zombie Infection Review
An outbreak of what looks to be a zombie plague is ravaging South America and you'll have to pit yourself against the horde in order to save your sibling while thwarting the evil machinations of a global corporation. While the obvious parallels to Resident Evil 5 are blatant, Zombie Infection by Gameloft is still an excellent horror shooter that's exciting and hard to put down. The controls take their cues directly from the latest games in the RE series, using a third person over the…Watch The Video Review
Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom! Review
It all started with 'Wee Ninja', a tiny character designed by former EGM editor Shawn Smith. Thanks to developer Venan Entertainment the concept quickly blossomed in to 'Ninjatown', a tower-defense game for the Nintendo DS. Venan are no strangers to the iPhone and instead of another tower-defense game, their latest game 'Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom!' switches things up as an endless vertical jumper. Trees Of Doom takes a minimalistic approach to the controls, using a single-finger contro…Watch The Video Review
Dogs Playing Poker Review
It's such a simple idea, but Dogs Playing Poker could easily have been a hard one to stomach thanks to C. M. Coolidge's paintings holding a dubious position in pop culture and its assorted ephemera. Thankfully instead of some tacky attempt at cashing in on a pop reference Dogs Playing Poker by Candywriter is probably one of the friendliest and certainly furriest Texas Hold'em games for the iPhone. The tutorial is simply brilliant and gives players a chance to not only learn the game's…Watch The Video Review
1112 episode 02 Review
This has been a long time in the making for those who have patiently awaited the sequel to Agharta Studio's first exciting adventure title '1112', but it has been a worthwhile wait. Episode 2 sets a new high standard for the genre on the iPhone with its amazing art design, clever puzzles and a compelling story that wills you to stick around till the end. If you missed out on the first in this series (or if its just been too long for you to remember) a handy introduction will get you b…Watch The Video Review
Alive 4-ever RETURNS Review
Meridian's first entry in the Alive 4-ever series was hard to fault, with a style that transformed the incredible popularity of Left 4 Dead for the PC in to something exciting and playable for iPhone owners. With such a great first title in the series, the sequel 'RETURNS' certainly had huge shoes to fill, but it not only filled those shoes, it completely pimped them out. The same tight dual-stick controls are used in the sequel, making movement and aiming easy and accurate from the g…Watch The Video Review
Freaking Inkies Review
Colorful inky blobs have invaded your library and they're ruining your classics from music tabs to your secret stash of comic books, but what can you do? Freaking Inkies by Atakama Labs lets you fight back against the inky-scourge by shooting down each blob in this unique and extremely addictive title. Inkies uses a combination of tilt controls and buttons placed on the edge of the screen to fire colored blobs at your foes. The tilt controls are amazingly accurate and smooth, rivaled…Watch The Video Review
Ozone Review
Developer Geardome asks their customers, "Can a game be a piece of art?". The debate over this may rage on in tiny pockets of the internet (and in some cases in mainstream media), but truthfully 'Ozone' by Geardome skirts awfully close to art and delivers an experience that's complex and dazzling in its execution. Your orb is pushed around the game's various mazes by touching a direction on the virtual d-pad. This releases a small portion of your remaining gas, which in turn shrinks y…Watch The Video Review
Fruit Ninja Review
UPDATE: The constant support and updates from Halfbrick for Fruit Ninja has been nothing short of spectacular and over time this title has grown from a fun time waster to something you can share with friends either by sniping high scores or by challenging them directly online with a multiplayer mode. Furthermore the addition of an 'Arcade' mode pits players against the clock with powerful power-ups that will test their slicing skills. Fruit Ninja just gets better and better over time a…Watch The Video Review
CHAOS RINGS Review
Chaos Rings is the latest JRPG published by Square Enix for the App Store and with a pedigree developer like Media.Vision at the helm, this is more than your average RPG. This is certainly no light-weight game and your pocket will definitely feel the pinch, but if you're willing to take the dive you'll be rewarded with a complex and beautiful experience that's easily one of the best new RPGs available for your iPhone.

It's the Jits
It's the Jits! is an Achievement/Trophy awarded for wining a fight by Submission against a non-CAF, Expert CPU in the first 60 seconds of Round 1. It is worth 50 gamerscore or a bronze trophy.
Win a fight under the following conditions: 1) Expert difficulty, 2) Opponent is AI-controlled, 3) Opponent is not a created fighter, 4) you win by submission, and 5) you win in under 60 seconds of the first round. Best bet here is to go to the middleweight division, use Demian Maia (fantastic submission attack at 90 and a strong takedown offense at 78), and fight against Drew McFedries (worst submission defense at 57, and a really bad takedown defense at 66).

Indefinite night curfew was on Monday clamped along the Assam-Meghalaya border in Goalpara district and army and police were patrolling Gendamari area where seven persons were gunned down and 10 others seriously injured by suspected GNLA ultra.
The night curfew would be in force from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. within two km inside Assam from the inter-state border to prevent untoward incidents, district Deputy Commissioner Pritam Saikia told PTI.
National Highway 62 between Damra in Assam and Dalu in Meghalaya as well as NH 51 between Paikan here and Dalu along with Khargang-Resubelpara road were exempted from the purview of the curfew, Saikia said.
Army along with police was patrolling the violence-hit area to prevent further eruption of trouble, he said.
Suspected Garo National Liberation Army insurgents from Meghalaya indiscriminately fired from automatic weapons upon a group of people gambling on the occasion of Diwali at remote Gendamari, killing six on the spot.
Another person succumbed to injuries on way to hospital while 10 others were seriously wounded.
Meanwhile, government has announced an ex-gratia grant of Rs. 6 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased and free medical treatment for the injured.
Goalpara district has been witnessing violence since October 20 last with protests against the upcoming Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council elections between November 13 and 25 demanding exclusion of non Rabha areas from the Council.
Sources ruled out that last night's incident was connected with the Council elections.
Proscribed GNLA based in the Garo hills jungles of Meghalaya, adjacent to Goalpara district, has been fighting for a separate state since 2009 indulging in killings, attacks on security forces and civilians, blasts, kidnappings and extortions.

Peabody award–winning journalist Andrea Bernstein is Senior Editor for Politics & Policy for WNYC News. She has previously served as Metro Editor, Political Director, Director of Transportation Nation, and Senior Reporter.
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) About a year ago, I did a story for Marketplace on how Boston is releasing the GPS data on buses to the private sector -- and how you can see where all its buses are, at any moment. Just got this email update from Joshua Robin, Director of Innovation and Special Projects at the MBTA:
"We finished rolling out bus data systemwide last fall (on 187 routes) launched a pilot subway data feed, and are planning to put out our pilot for commuter rail in the next few weeks. All told there are more than 30 apps that have been built as a result of us releasing all this info. On snowy days this winter we were seeing upwards of 1/3 of riders using the tools which is pretty amazing considering how recently we rolled out, etc."
On February 1, which Robins called the "worst day of the winter," 100,000 bus riders used the app. He says about a third of riders continue to use the app.
More recently, we looked at Roadify's efforts to crowdsource transit and parking info.
Any other areas getting 1/3 rider usage of GPS data or crowdsourcing? Let us know.
Shout out for Roadify! Awesome that Boston is doing so many cool things.

Simi Landslide Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Tannat.
Deep, dark and nearly opaque with a ruby edge, the 2007 Landslide offers up evocative aromas of chocolate laced with cinnamon, blackberry, plum, black cherry and exotic wood spice. On the palate, a velvety entry is followed by concentrated black cherry and red plum fruit accented with toffee. It finishes with a hint of roasted coffee. Supple tannins add depth and length.
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with filet mignon with Cabernet mushroom sauce or pan-roasted chicken with Swiss chard, pancetta and onions in creamy polenta.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This is a good, full-bodied, dry Cabernet that delivers with plenty of varietal personality. Shows very ripe, concentrated blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, with plenty of sweet oak, and is tannic enough to develop over the next 4–6 years. Easy to find, with 12,000 cases produced."
Simi Winery
In 1876, brothers Giuseppe and Pietro Simi began making wine in San Francisco from Sonoma County grapes and eventually planted vineyards near Healdsburg. Simi's historic stone cellars were built in 1890 and are still used to age the wines. Today, Simi is recognized as a leader in innovation and experimentation with a history of over 125 years of cutting-edge winemaking.
Their Alexander Valley vineyards possess some of the most diverse soils of any wine-growing region. Years of geologic activity – from an ancient mudflow to the meandering Russian River and Mayacama Creek – has created numerous distinct soil types and a range of microclimates. Here they grow the red Bordeaux varietals for their Reserve Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon for their Sendal.
Their Russian River Goldfields vineyard is planted to field selections chosen from the oldest and best Chardonnay vineyards in California. The combination of diverse clones and the cool, Russian River Valley climate produce Simi's distinct Reserve Chardonnay.
Simi's winemakers focus on site-specific winemaking and use the most modern advances in vineyard management, fermentation and blending to best express the personality and flavors of each vineyard site. View all Simi Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Big and bold at the beginning, with dark chocolate, fruit, and soft spice. After about 30 to 45 minutes, totally flattened out and was not an attractive wine any longer. Don't know where it went!
- Style
- Big & Bold
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

'Brotherhood Cannot Be a Theory'
A Jewish look at Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
One theory about why a fissure developed between African-Americans and Jewish Americans has to do with Dr. Martin Luther King's isolation from the Civil Rights movement in the late 1960s. As a fixture that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Jewish leaders and spoke openly of his love for equality, when MLK was outshouted by other leaders who (to put it lightly) indulged in less than progressive commentaries about Jews, parts of the Jewish community turned away.
But before this happened, the knit was tight. One such example was the South's first racially integrated banquet, which was held in Atlanta and organized in large part by Rabbi Jacob Rothschild in 1965. The occasion was to honor MLK, who'd just returned from Oslo after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
A number of different religious leaders attended and spoke, including MLK and Rabbi Rothschild. From one paragraph of Rothchild's speech, you can read the soaring language and perhaps wonder who influenced whom in the great orations of that era.
In Jewish lore there is a legend of Adam as he faced the approaching night of his first day on earth. Darkness–the first darkness he had ever known–was about to envelop of the world–and he was afraid. For how was he to know that night and day were ordained to follow one another for all eternity, that God in His first creative act had decreed that "there be light"–and indeed, had looked upon it and called it "good?" For Adam, this menacing dark might well blot out forever that radiant sun whose rays had brightened and warmed his day of life.
For the rest of the speech, plus MLK's remarks, all digitally preserved on the yellowing pages of the Southern Israelite publication, check out the Dream Center's archives here.
And, of course, below is Stevie Wonder's tribute to MLK, the song "Happy Birthday,"which helped to popularize the initially unpopular movement to make Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a national holiday.

Tommy Hanson hit hard, Braves lose 11-7 to Mets
NEW YORK Tommy Hanson struggled through his worst start of the season on the same day the Atlanta Braves put Jair Jurrjens on the disabled list.
Justin Turner homered twice and the New York Mets hit four homers off Hanson as they stopped a five-game losing streak with an 11-7 victory Saturday night. It was the Braves' fourth loss in six games.
"It's like everyone says, pitching wins ballgames," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Tonight we had a slow-pitch softball game - we don't win those very often."
Still in Atlanta's favor: The Braves got Chipper Jones back in the lineup, Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 27 games, and Freddie Freeman ran his own to 20.
The Braves (65-49) have a 3 1/2-game cushion in the NL wild-card race and recently added Michael Bourn to a lineup that had been lacking a leadoff hitter all season.
But the loss of arguably their best starting pitcher on the same night Hanson looked shaky was troubling.
"You go through those things. We just don't want two or three guys going through it at the same time," Gonzalez said. "We'll get it together. Those guys have been good for the first 100 games."
Hanson (11-7) allowed seven runs in 3 1-3 innings. He lasted one out longer in his first start, but allowed only three earned runs April 2. He is 1-3 in six outings since he won five starts in a row from June 1 to July 4.
"Warming up, my location wasn't there," Hanson said. "It was the same trouble I had once I got in the game. I didn't have very good - actually I had horrible command."
Jones returned to the Braves' lineup after he was limited because of a strained right quadriceps. Gonzalez pinch-hit for him late once light rain began to fall.
"We've come too far with him to get him back. We don't want to take a chance," Gonzalez said. "It wasn't just running the bases, the conditions then even a bad swing could affect you."
Jason Bay and Josh Thole also connected for the Mets, who banged out 16 hits to break out of a weeklong offensive funk. New York hit four homers in a game for the first time in more than a year.
"They got some really good swings on Tommy's stuff tonight," Uggla said. "You would think seven runs would be enough to win with this staff."
Jonathon Niese (11-8) gave up a season-high 10 hits, but made it through five innings. He allowed five runs and struck out six to win for the fourth time in five decisions and eighth in 11.
In the third inning, Freeman's broken-bat RBI single extended his streak and Uggla followed with a roller down the third base line that just barely stayed fair and was too slow to draw a throw. Both of them came home on David Ross' two-run single. After Alex Gonzalez singled to put runners on first and third, Jose Constanza hit a blooper that barely made it past the mound.

Three Officials Ousted for Coal Mine Accidents in North China
Three officials ousted for coal mine accidents in north China
SHIJIAZHUANG, Oct.8 (Xinhua) — The Hebei provincial government on Wednesday said three officials in Tangshan City have been fired in light of two coal mine accidents which killed 22 people.
Among them was Han Guoqiang, a deputy chief of the government of the Guye District. The names of the other two people held responsible have not been released, however, Xinhua learned one served as chief of the government of the township where the two coal mines were located. The other was a township government deputy in charge of coal mine safety.
On Aug. 27, workers with a coal yard, based in Wushuizhuang Village, illegally dug into a coal reserve owned by the state using an underground tunnel. That tunnel collapsed and killed nine workers.
Then on Sept. 5, an explosion at Xinhua coal mine, also in the Guye District, killed 13 more miners.
Acting Governor Hu Chunhua said Hebei province has serious problems with work and food safety. Along with the mines, Sanlu dairy company is headquartered there. It has been implicated with China's contaminated milk scandal.
"We should step up responsibility," said Hu."Chief leaders and responsible persons will not receive mercy if major safety accidents occur in their domains due to under-performance or negligence of duty." Before Wednesday's firings, China's top quality control official, Li Changjiang, resigned Sept. 22 over the tainted milk scandal.
Eight days before Li's resignation, Shanxi Province Governor Meng Xuenong resigned over a fatal landslide at an illegal mine.

Step aside Carbon: the printed bike is here
Bristol-based company unveils space-age Nylon bike
You've seen bikes made by welding tubes together, and carbon bikes blown up by bladders in a mould, and even bikes cast out of Magnesium if your memory stretches back to the glory days of Kirk. But we bet you've never seen a bike that's been printed before. Enter the boffins from the Bristol Aerospace Innovation Centre with their Nylon bike.
Printed? well, kind of. The process that has been used to create the bike is one that the company has been using to make parts for satellites and aircraft, and is capable of producing very complicated structures by effectively printing and fusing together cross sections a tenth of a millimetre deep to build up finished three dimensional parts. By building up the structure layer by layer even captive parts such as bearings can be produced. Everything bar the tyres and the belt drive is made using the process, and the engineers have reduced the bike to about a dozen constituent parts that are then assembled to create the finished machine, which looks a little bit like a GoCycle from the future.
The bike project came about after the company became frustrated that they weren't able to adequately explain the process to anyone other than other specialist engineers. "You can show people brackets time and time again", said one of the chief engineers when interviewed for the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12664422). "I show my mum what I do in work and she doesn't really understand. But everyone knows what a bike is". Certainly it seems to have done the trick...
The bike is being touted across the web today as a 'nylon bike as strong as steel', but there doesn't seem to be much to back up that rather grandiose claim – other than presumably some raw material data – and to be honest the sound the bike makes at the end of the BBC vid when the presenter hops on board is anything but confidence inspiring. But it's certainly an interesting application of a different technology, and although a whole bike is probably a push we can certainly see mileage in using a similar process to produce certain parts of a bike; it looks like it would make a mean aero wheel, for starters.
Is this the future of bike production? Discuss!
I'm sure that the claim of "as strong as steel" is for the base material rather than the bike being shown. Scary noise but did sound like something dragging in the spokes.
While it's all very well making aerospace/satellite parts this way (they all demand massive prices) I can't see it being effective for everyday objects.
I'm just trying to be realistic rather than negative but if each pass of the laser scanner only builds a 0.1mm layer some simple maths will illustrate how long it would take to build even moderately sized components such as a stem or seat post. Some major development in the laser scanner/fuser will be required preferably so that each layer can be "built" with a single flash rather than a time consuming scan. We all know how slow scanners/photocopiers are. But that would trade manufacturing time and cost against a huge increase in the capital cost of the laser equipment.

I can see it being used for quick prototypes but like you I think the nylon as strong as steel claim is unproven. Currently I am finding out the hard way that although you would think I know how a bike works there are many parts that are still a mystery to me after a failure to replace the pedal caused the old one to fall off this morning. What I wouldn't give to print up a replacement one right now. The BBC reporter looked like he was going to fall off the bike at the end but luckily for him off camera.

Just because something is manufactured using the latest technology does not make it better than that which already exists. Steel tubes and lugs are proven to be perfectly adequate for the job.
A classic case to illustrate that progress quite often means leaving things alone. If it isn't broken, do not fix it.

I study engineering and our materials lecturer showed us a bicycle made of plastic which was very similar to this.
Nylon can match the specific strength of steel ie the strength per unit weight however it is nowhere near as stiff. This means that a bicycle made from any plastic, be it nylon or polypropylene, will be extremely floppy, it will sag when you get on and will have dreadful response when steering.
Some of us tried to ride the plastic bicycle and it was an awful experience, not only that but it wasn't much lighter than an aluminium bike. In terms of good materials to build a bike, carbon fibre beats the pants out of everything else both in terms of stiffness and strength.

Yes it using the latest techniques, but I think some comments are missing the potential of digital printing. It is a reality now, that you can purchase a 3d printing for a couple of grand or make one your self. This could totally change the way we purchase many items, download a CAD file, complete customization, make your own cottage components. It is early days but look at how the computer or digital communication has evolved, or even bikes look what we are riding now in comparison to 10yrs ago. Granted a whole bike is ambitious, but imagine being able to make smaller components exactly the way you want them. It would be very interesting to see if there would be a way to lay down sheets of fibre then bond them.

Euch, what a horror. I remember a plastic bicycle made in the 80s by a Scandinavian firm I think. It didn't sell well as it was heavy and a bit floppy and soon went out of production. I did see one in a museum a while ago. Technology has moved on though and the use of a layering process (a concept used in Japanese sword manufacturing for centuries, as well as in marine plywood) is interesting. Perhaps the design of this bicycle leaves something to be desired but better use of the materials might result in something more ridable. Looking at the forks and the bars, I would expect it to be very lively (and possibly unstable) with regard to steering, compounded by the small wheels. It does look as if the forks have been put on backwards by mistake. The nylon layering technique might address the issue of stiffness, to a degree at least, but I'd be curious to see what lifetime would be expected from any plastic-plastic wearing surfaces. It would need to be designed with replaceable bearing components, otherwise its working life would be short. I'd also suggest a redesign of the spoked wheels as stress concentrations around the spoke/rim interface would be likely to result in early failures.

A 3D printing company recently printed a car as 'proof of concept' too.
This is a superb technology, maybe not for the end consumer at the moment, but something that will doubtlessly change the way that prototyping is done. We're already at the point where you can email your CAD drawings and receive a product back with startling turn around times.
These printers aren't stuck printing one material either, there are a range of them out there, and someone has recently even been using mashed potato for fun.

3D printing using paper sheets has been used to construct full-sized component mock-ups in engineering since the early 1990s at least. This is another step ahead but I wouldn't call it revolutionary, evolutionary more like.
Thinking more about the bearing surfaces, if a PTFE lining is used with mechanical structural loads being carried by the nylon this might offer a solution. It occurred to me that using the low coefficient of friction of PTFE combined with the greater structural rgidity of nylon, you could design a bearing that works in a similar way to the white metal plain bearing used in the big end of a combustion engine.
I realised that using straight rather than a curved section for the frame and for the seat post would help reduce any spring in the design. Yes, I used to be a design engineer.
And I still think some doofus has put the forks on the wrong way round.

That noise at the end of the video sounded like the teeth on the drive belt skipping over the teeth on the wheel that they're supposed to mesh with. If they claim to be able to produce bearing using this technique could they not have come up with a rudimentary freewheel / clutch mechanism

Christmas can be the most wonderful time of the year. It can also be the crappiest holiday, especially if you're going to be spending it all by your lonesome.
On a similar note, the same principle of perspectives also applies to these Hot Cans. In case this is the first time you've heard of them, these cans contain a complete Christmas dinner in a self-heating can. No microwaving or heating water to prepare it. Just you, the can, and a whole lot of lonely.
If you're a single dude living alone who can't make dinner to save his life, then the Hot Can is a godsend. But if you couldn't care less about what you're eating because you've got no company to share it with, then you probably couldn't care less about the Hot Can either.
Love it or hate it, though, it's here to stay. So why don't you grab a couple of cans of 'Turkey casserole with winter veg, chipolatas, stuffing balls and cranberry jelly' to tide you over for the holidays? Just because you're having a white Christmas doesn't mean you have to starve yourself as well.
