Modern details shine in this superior design.
The perforated center cylinder almost steals the show from the clear glass and metal framework. The attractive pull chain is a switch for high/low lighting.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Looks very good, very appropriate for a modern interior. Very good quality, pricey but worth the money.
Item is as pictured as having chrome backplate but as written in the small details the iten has a black backplate! Otherwise nice product.
We used two of these over a vanity as the primary light source. Nice light, designer look, great quality and price. Everyone comments on how chic they are in this transitional setting.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but we all know Apple is interested in wearables. What makes more sense than wearable headphones? Apple could put an iPod directly into the headphones. Sure Apple could do this without Beats, but Apple has never been very successful in the audio space (headphones/speakers), so it would make sense to buy a company that has had success.

Experiment III
Thermistors and the Wheatstone Bridge
By the use of the Wheatstone bridge, a type of null comparator, the
temperature versus resistance behavior of a thermistor is plotted. Using
this calibration curve, one's body temperature is determined.
Galvanometer, 2-known resistors, 0 - 999 W
decade resistance box, thermistor, wires, rubberbands, Bunsen burner, beaker,
and thermometer .
Note: Bring linear graph paper.
When a meter is used for measuring electrical circuits, the meter must
draw some power from the circuit to make the measurement. This effect is
known as "loading" of the circuit by the meter.
For an ammeter the loading has the effect of adding a series resistance
to the circuit. For a voltmeter the effect is of a parallel resistance.
Thus, for a voltmeter, the greater its input resistance (or impedance in
the A.C. case), the better the measurement. However, even the best PET-digital
meters, with input impedances greater than 10 MW
or 10´106 W
, pull some power, though usually negligible, from the circuit.
To circumvent the loading problem, null comparators are used. Null comparators
make a measurement by comparing two quantities, one of known value, the
other unknown. The known value is adjusted till it equals the unknown.
When they are equal, a detector placed across them will give a zero reading.
Hence the term, null comparator.
A voltmeter, or a galvanometer can be used as the detector, as when
two points are at the same voltage, no current will flow between them.
As the measurement is made when the meter is nulled, no loading occurred.
Hence the accuracy of the measurement is limited only by the knowledge
of the known quantity, and the sensitivity of the nulled detector.
The Wheatstone bridge is a null comparator used for very accurate measurement of resistance.
In the Wheatstone
bridge of Figure 3.1, R1, R2, and R3 are
known resistances, Rx is the unknown. The bridge is said to
be balanced when Pl is at the same potential as P2.
Thus, no current will flow through the galvanometer. For this to happen,
the ratio of resistance in the Rl - R2 path must
equal the ratio in the R3 - Rx path:
Thus, if R2, is twice the value of R1, then Rx
is twice R3, or
A thermistor is a metal oxide semiconductor whose resistance varies
with temperature. For a conductor, as its temperature is increased, its
resistance will increase. However, the resistance of a semiconductor will
decrease with an increase in temperature. Over a wide range of temperature,
this change in resistance is very non-linear. However, in a restricted
range of 10° C or less, it may appear fairly
linear. Because of this, thermistors are employed in a wide range of applications
as temperature sensors.
In this experiment, you will measure the resistance of a thermistor
with a Wheatstone bridge, for different temperatures, in a water bath.
Then you will plot a calibration curve and use the thermistor to find your
body temperature.
Wire the circuit as in Figure 3.3, using the 0-999 W
decade box for R3:
You will balance
the bridge by varying the decadebox, till the galvanometer indicates no
current is flowing. For the initial rough balancing, the resistor switch
SW1 should be open. This adds a series resistance to
the galvanometer to protect it from too much current when unbalanced. Once
the bridge is roughly balanced, fine-balance it by closing SW1.
This shorts around the resistor, giving full sensitivity of the galvanometer.
Attach the thermistor to the Hg thermometer with a rubber band. Place
in a water bath brought to 0°C with a little
ice. DO NOT stir with the thermometer, as it is fragile, and will
Heat the bath slowly with the Bunsen burner. Be careful not to melt
the wires in the flame. DO NOT place the thermistor in the flame
to see what happens! To do so will ruin the thermistor and your chances
of passing this course.
Record the resistance of the thermistor in 10°C
steps, from 0°C to 100°C.
Uae the computer program "Quattro Pro and plot your data with temperature
on the abscissa and resistance on the ordinate.
You may find it difficult to fit a straight line to your data. This
is because, as many things in nature, the resistance varies as an exponential.
For a semiconductor, the resistivity depends on the inverse of the absolute
temperature (Kelvin), or
r µ eK/T
If the thermal expansion in the thermistor is neglected, then the above
equation can be written in terms of resistance, or
R µ eK/T
To make an equation of this relationship, multiply by a constant to
R = CeK/T
By taking the natural log of both sides, we have a linear equation in ln R and 1/T:
Redefining C' to be the constant ln C, we have
or y = b + mx.
Plot the natural log of the resistance versus the inverse of the temperature
(in Kelvin) using the "Quattro Pro" template. Follow the
instructions given in the template and draw a "best-fit" straight
line to your data. Measure the resistance of the thermistor at body temperature
by holding the thermistor between your lower and upper arms. Then, using
this calibration curve, determine your body temperature, giving your answer
in°C and°F.
The slope of the semi-log plot is related to the energy gap (Eg)
of the semiconductor (thermistor). (The semiconducting gap is the region
where no electrons are allowed and is between the valence and conduction
bands.) Find the slope, m, and calculate the semiconducting gap using the
following relation
m = Eg/2kB
where kB = 1.38×10-23 J/K is the Boltzmann's
constant. Give your answer in J and in eV where 1 eV = 1.6 × 10-19
J. (Note: The slope of thesemi-log plot is obtained by performing a "linear
regression fit" to your data points. Question: What is the unit of
the slope?)
Answer the following questions and include with your report:
1. What are the major factors limiting the accuracy of a null Comparator?
2. If you wished the Wheatstone bridge to be direct-reading, i.e.,
the value given by the decade box R3 to be the same as Rx,
what must be the values of Rl and R2?
3. If a RTD (Resistive Thermal Device, made of ordinary conductor) were used instead of a thermistor, how would the calibration curve differ?

Bsnl 750 UL query
I already have a bsnl land-line phone connection. I wanted to opt for a 750 ul combo plan in which there is no additional rent for land-line. Is it possible? If yes, how would I cancel the current default plan on land-line?
Thank You

Re: Bsnl 750 UL query
Once your application is processed you would be migrated to the combo plan and your existing plan would get automatically cancelledEarth, Wind, Fire, Water, Consciousness.

How to stay warm both inside or out
Staying warm in this chilly weather has become a priority. Whether you are inside your den and sipping a cup of tea, or having some lighter moments at your backyard with your friends, you want to stay warm to enjoy these moments. Therefore the idea of a warm fireplace especially in this season is a very inviting idea.
Sitting around a warm fireplace with loved ones and listening to the logs crackle and watching the fire lick the air, sounds really nice. The concept of having a fireplace whether indoors or outdoors is always a welcome idea.
Currently, gel-burning ventless fireplaces and electric fireplaces are becoming more and more popular. Moreover they add a perfect class and splendor to your surroundings. Besides, a wall mount fireplace does not leave any residue. This makes maintaining your indoors much easier. The reason is that it does not burn wood, in fact the flames that you get to see are not even real. Nevertheless, the flames and the overall appearance is as good as real. Also they are not hot, therefore children are much safer.
Some of the features of wall mount fireplaces include:
- Light weight and portable. They can be carried from one place to another.
- Hand held remote control offered with the fireplace.
- Equipped with LED back light for impeccable light effects
- Varied frames available in the market.
- 1 year warranty on purchase.
Bringing the ambiance and warmth of a hearth outdoors can be attained with a copper fire pit. While relaxing with friends on cool nights, or for cooking these units are quite functional. Moreover, they also add to giving a rich and unique addition to a home's landscaping. A copper firepit is a welcome accessory to any backyard. In fact copper is beautiful and your deck is sure to look gorgeous in its glimmering color.
Spending time around a fireplace is great fun. The time that you spend in front of it today will create special memories for years to come.

Below is the poem entitled Come Raging Fire which was written by poet
Matthews. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Ryland Matthews
Come, raging fire, and cleanse from my soul that
"Greatest" of all words … HOPE.
I have seen the detritus of this life and have known
The grandest of songs and still
I am left wanting. A blackness gapes within my heart,
A place of infinite sorrows
Where nightmares would go to die, and still I have not
Glimpsed the darkest of you,
The seed that you sew, and that has thus been implanted
Into this thing called humanity
That keeps us raging, that keeps us steadfast in completing
A self-fulfilling prophesy that only
Propagates, that thing called sorrow. So take this blade … this cold
Thing that we all know of as hate
And plunge it with all haste into the vortex that is "never ending".
Show it the home that it left ….
Millennia ago by your choosing and bring it back with all wrath
To the place that sent it seeking.
For the children of man want you not for anything but reminiscence,
And know this, that though
The darkness may reign it wouldn't be there without the light,
And with a quickness all that you Know
Can be erased. So bring forth lightning and bring forth thunder,
Spew out your arrogance for all to know
Let the earth tremble at the sound of your name but know that within you …. There is a soul.

With more than 50 years in the monitoring business, we have gained solid expertise in detecting and diagnosing potential failure modes at an early stage of development for all types of machines and applications, including wind turbines.
As our monitoring strategy is primarily focused on the drive train portion of the wind turbine, most of the potential failure modes are associated with the rolling element bearings, gears and the generator.
Although the fault detection techniques for these components are not new, the means to detect these faults present challenges due to the wind turbine design and operation concept. The widely variable operating conditions coupled with non-rigid foundations, compact construction, complex gearbox and low rotating speed require an entirely different monitoring approach for wind turbines.
Important monitoring functionality that enables a wind turbine monitoring system to detect and isolate developing machine faults includes:
Typical faults that may cause severe damages and can be detected in the early stages by constant remote monitoring:

It is no exaggeration to say that without Sid Caesar, comedy in America would have been a lot less funny. He was the star and guiding force behind Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, two of the most innovative programs in the Golden Age of Television, and the writers and stars of those shows went on to create the plays, movies, and sitcoms that we now think of as classic American comedy. So many of our greatest comedy writers--Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Woody Allen--were part of Sid Caesar's creative troupe. Sid was a master not only of comedic performanc

5 Things for Young Drivers to Remember
Getting one's driver's license is an important rite of passage for many teenagers. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm coupled with lack of extensive experience can sometimes lead to problems. Below are five tips for young drivers to help them stay safe on the road, not have accidents that can easily be avoided and as a result keep your insurance low. This is important as car insurance for young drivers is already notoriously high! Have a look at the five tips and take note:
These are just a few things that you should consider as you begin to get used to driving. Any time that you can err on the side of caution, you should; driving is a privilege and a responsibility, and the more conscientious you are about it, the better off everyone will be.

Golf World
Drive, He Said
Champions Tour rookie and Internet startup CEO Steve Elkington is a businessman on the move -- and a man with social-media game
Reading Steve Elkington's Twitter feed is a guilty pleasure for a percentage of his fellow tour professionals. It's the same patter he has offered inside the ropes since his amateur days in the early 1980s: trenchant, profane, funny, cranky. The difference is that 40,000 followers eavesdrop on an @elkpga tell-all spanning 9,000 tweets.
For more than a year those snippets were the only way most peers kept track of Elkington. He withdrew from two PGA Tour starts and missed a Web.com Tour cut in 2012. Combine that with a lackluster 2011 (he missed 10 of 17 cuts) and his arrival on the Champions Tour may seem diminished. #disasterintheoffing?
Yet the 10-time winner in the U.S., who turned 50 on Dec. 8, calls last year one of his best, in respects exceeding 1992 ("got married, won the Australian Open") or 1995 ("first child, won the PGA [Championship], paid for my house"). Elkington learned a word he needed to look up in the dictionary: "I suppose I've been on sabbatical." Elkington shunned the peripatetic life for his own bed in suburban Houston. He spent quality time with wife Lisa, joined college-bound daughter Annie on campus visits and played as much golf as possible with son Sam, nearly 16.
Idyllic, yes, but Elkington was not idle. Entering his home office by 5 a.m. daily, Elkington and a small band of associates dove into the digital computing universe in ways no other athlete has attempted. They began in April 2010 by going live with secretinthedirt.com, a distinctive golf instruction website with an iconoclastic audience mirroring Elkington's quest for swing-related discovery. They then switched gears in the second half of 2012 and, in a fevered rush, created an iPhone app, CapZoo, that propelled them into Silicon Valley's social-media revolution.
"I don't see anything wrong with dipping your finger in a new thing if you don't mind getting your ass kicked," Elkington says. "That doesn't bother me."
Elkington splashes onto the Champions Tour with the same gorgeous swing, but as a combination of 1920s barnstorming player and Internet startup CEO. He will promote Secret, CapZoo and some of the best-known digital companies on his apparel and bag and with a massive two-story trailer, nicknamed "The Big Show," which will serve as home and office. Payroll for most golfers is a caddie's check. Elkington's ventures have five full-timers, and he is juggling the quest for venture capital and growth. "It's not like I'm a kid anymore," he says.
What Elkington and crew have accomplished is mind-boggling. At least when the Bad News Bears wowed Walter Matthau they played baseball. Elkington does everything from his iPhone, using a laptop or desktop computer only in extreme circumstances. "I'm pretty impressed with how tech-savvy Steve is," says Tom Otvos, the veteran digital engineer who strengthened the website and coded CapZoo. "He's able to figure stuff out and know what works and what doesn't work. It wasn't like he's a total newbie."
Secret in the Dirt co-founder Mike Maves, a scratch amateur from Canada who quit the game cold turkey a decade earlier, sold his family's second-generation insurance business to nurture the website. Most of the group they assembled lacked digital experience and geographic proximity -- textbook telecommuters, they've never been all in the same room and some have never even shaken hands. They shared a zeal to build something aligned with Ben Hogan's message that study and practice breed enlightenment. Maves' word for Secret is agnostic. "We feel that this idea of social learning -- of people sharing with each other what is working -- is the best way to move these golfers forward and help them improve," he says. "It's not about tips or trying to get great in an afternoon."
Secret was gestated after Elkington telephoned Maves upon reading his e-book Secret in the Dirt, an attempt to clarify Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. Elkington and Maves discovered an affinity for classic instruction, such as Henry Cotton's folksy My Golfing Album. They have identical goals but different paths -- Elkington the font of ideas who can be blunt with feedback; Maves deep in the technical guts while building consensus. "They're opposites, and that's a good thing," says Terry Okura, who knew Elkington for nearly 20 years and joined up after Secret's launch. "They keep each other in check."
The website resembles a percolating grillroom or practice tee occupied by rank beginners and tour winners alike. One feature is The Forum, a message board with everything from swing theory to on-course confidence builders. Another is The Vault, which added its 1,000th video late last year. Among the featured instructors who gained prominence within Secret: Martin Ayers, Paul Kopp, Craig Foster and Geoff Mangum. These teachers passed muster in a crucible likened to television's "American Idol," gaining recognition according to how readily their lessons serve site members.
Haven't heard of Secret in the Dirt? The group disdained advertising and promotion to prove the concept would thrive unaided. As with do-it-yourself home remodeling, DIY instruction isn't for everyone. Maves likens it to a site about underground bands: "Are you interested," he says, "in what's on the radio or would you like to hear something a little more obscure that's equally great but it's still in the basement of some club?"
Through organic growth Secret has members from more than 125 countries. Maves equates the 30,000 unique monthly visitors to Twitter, where a core stokes conversations and far more read and retweet. Elkington claims that by dress and swing alone he can pick from a crowd any Dirters, as they call themselves. "We always try to get them to think a little deeper," Elkington says. "Take responsibility for your own game."
Among the converted is Ross Roark, a west Texas horse trainer who met Elkington 15 years ago. Roark discovered Secret as a mid-80s shooter with a looping, knee-dipping swing many instructors might scrap. Roark grooved his action by studying about 300 videos, one reason the new Secret channel on YouTube has logged a million views. "If you want to know anything about golf, about the swing or the way it's supposed to be done, it's right there in The Vault," he says. Last summer Roark, now scratch, shot a 63.
The Vault's other section is a bank of daily single-panel cartoons from Elkington and Calder Chism, some of the most pointed commentary on golf and sports in general. (Typical of the biting tone was a Jan. 31 caricature of a big-biceped Vijay Singh using deer-antler spray.) They connected five or six years ago when Chism, a former newspaper editorial cartoonist, met Elkington, who has drawn avidly since childhood, when Chism's brother-in-law, Scott McCarron, hosted a house party during the Reno-Tahoe Open. Chism recalls the pair "just sat there and got drunk and drew stuff on paper and immediately hit it off."
Chism says Elkington could produce a daily panel himself in his "very stylized, simple line-art" presentation. Instead each morning they exchange texts, sketches and chat on the phone to hash out an idea Chism posts before reporting for work at a utility company. "Social media lets everybody put a nice, shiny filter on what they're really like and they only get to show their best, especially on Facebook and Twitter," he says. "But Elk doesn't do that. He completely gives you the raw Elk flavor in everything he does."
Shortly after Secret went live, the group created an iPhone app. They shelved it on concerns Dirters would ignore others in their foursome while playing. During the next two years Elkington's golf reputation got them in the door at the biggest digital firms. But it was their pitches and products that kept those audiences. Startups must answer three questions: What do you have, what problems does it solve and how are you going to get in and out of this thing? Appearing before the Silicon Valley Executive Network of CEOs and angel investors, Elkington handled the last with his usual bluntness: I'll tell you what my exit plan is going to be when we figure out our entry plan.

In this profession, roughly one in six enjoy medical and dental coverage, and less than one-tenth have vision insurance, as well. The vast majority of Personal Care Attendants (88 percent) who participated in the survey are women. Most Personal Care Attendants report high levels of job satisfaction. The data for this snapshot was collected from individuals who took PayScale's salary survey.

Personal care attendants are responsible for providing care to the sick and injured of any age, from children with disabilities to the elderly. This position requires professionalism and compassion at all times. Some duties include checking the patient's vital signs, helping the patient with personal hygiene, dressing the patient, feeding the patient, and taking the patient to appointments. Basic housekeeping is also necessary in order to provide a safe, clean environment. In day to day activities, personal care attendants will normally work alone, but they will report to a registered nurse.Read More...
Personal care attendants will typically work in the home of the patient or in an assisted living facility. They work in shifts of eight or twelve hours, including overnight and weekend shifts. Some physical fitness is required to aid the patient in rehabilitative exercises and help them get in and out of bed.

Fkking amazing!
When I go to a club I wanna have good music & good crowd & dance till 2 am and thats exactly wat i got outta zenzi mills.
On a friday nite, i landed there with four friends, There was no cover charge/entry charge, we jus walked in.
The club is divided into 2 sections- the lower section has a long giant bar and a smallish dance floor but thats the best part coz you feel like you're dancing with the world!! The crowd was a mix of young boppers and mature couples - hot men and leggy females...overall, very good crowd. the music on the ground level was R&B at its best.
I also checked out the upper section - it was like landing on a new planet; it had fewer people and crazy trance music and a large screen playing vintage cinema. So i got back to my R&B and danced the night away...trust me the crowd, the DJ the whole atmosphere was rocking!
Like a true burrper i tried the "chinese box" with noodles in blackbean sauce, tofu and mushrooms. It was yummy and totally worth 350 bucks. My friend had the chicken chinese box - equally yum! I dont see why this place doesnt deserve 5 on 5

Yawn !!
Zenzi Mills is split in two parts - a restaurant upstairs and a bar downstairs. The restaurant upstairs serves drinks and starters but not off the bar menu. If you want anything off the bar menu you have to go down. Bit wierd. The place is smaller than I expected probably smaller than the Bandra outlet even.
Went on a Sat night at 9 when the place was empty but started filling up as we left. The music was a bit too loud for conversation and not good enough to just sit back and enjoy it.
What I don't get is why would such a place have tables with paint peeling off fromm all corners ? Is that supposed to be part of the decor ? It just looks like they ran out of money or didn't really care either ways to get better tables.
Service: Good, efficient
Food: The veg menu comprises only of starters essentially so you cant go there on a hungry stomach.Its interesting the way theyve experimented with the ingridients. Had the paneer satay. Loved the combination of the sweet sauce and the peanut sauce. The paneer could have been better.
Oh and they do serve regular water now.
Damages: Paid Rs800 for 1 Old monk large and a starter. Not worth it.
All in all a very boring place and theres nothing to pull me back.

Bopping it when young
Call me suspicious but there was enough dubiousness in this place in fancy brands to send anyone reeling. Loud music, and full of kids up to some hanky panky, doesn't leave you comfortable.
We left after our third food order arrived, seemed microwaved goop all of it. But obviously perfect for those who survive on cup o noodles and pop tarts.

We donot serve you safe WATER!
I have just returned from an extremely disappointing experience at Zenzi Mills. I am a regular at both, Zenzi Bandra and Zenzi Mills (at lower parel). I spend approximately Rs. 10-15 thousand a week at both these places. Today, after running a tab of approximately Rs. 6000.00, I asked for a glass of water. I was told that there was no "safe" drinking water available. I asked whether the water was purified using a system similar to Aquaguard. I was informed by the bartenders that they have no such filtration system. I asked if there was any other safe drinking water available. I was told that the only safe water available was bottled and was chargeable. I tried to ask the head bartender to speak to management and was shunned away until a few friends spoke to GAVIN, the apparent management. I explained my problem to him; that his bar team had refused to serve me safe water even though they knew that I was a regular and that I had spent a considerable amount in my regular visits to this bar.
Being in the hospitality industry myself, I found it hard to believe that an organization such as Zenzi Mills refused to serve SAFE drinking water to its regular patrons. I am unsure whether this is against the law, but I shall ensure that the logical conclusion to this atrocity is found.

The stars are for the music and sound
The only thing that made me go here was Function One and i was impressed and that's till where i was, had it not been my persistence to see this place i would have never gone there since it took us some good time to reach this place and we were just circling around and around and no directions no landmarks and being new people didn't even know about this place.
The music and sound was good, drinks were average and the prices are steep, the reason I say prices are steep is considering the place they are located which would have not cost them the earth so i think when you save on your major expense "rent/ real estate" that should be passed on to your guest.
Rest of the place was average
Good food
Went to Zenzi yesterday with my wife and a couple of friends. We went to the first floor eating place and did not spend any time at the resto-bar on the ground floor. Food was good / tasty, though paneer and chicken could have been fresher. Expensive though. The plastic chairs were a bit on the tacky side for such a high quality restaurant. Patrons were few, though this could possibly be attributed to it being a weekday and Blue Frog next door having a big night.

Great ambience, cool crowd
New Zenzi is beatiful and nice! It got 2 dancefloors so clients can choose what music is better for them! Since entrance is free, you never lose anything :))
Also, soundsystem is great (much better than one in Zenzi Bandra) and the most up-to-date, modern EDM staff is being played here. Prices are the same as in Zenzi Bandra and all places of this level.
Highly recommended!

Extracting is a possibility
Posted: November 08, 2012|
WITH reference to the leaching of rubbish at Northam and the potential problem of large quantities being washed out to sea, I wonder if the possibility of extracting and recycling the waste in the tip by "landfill mining" has been discussed ('Trying to stop tides of rubbish', Journal, November 1).
I gather this already happens in Belgium and Germany and is being seriously considered generally as the scarcity and hence prices of certain metals increase.
Plastic is also a valuable resource, particularly for the oil which can be produced from it, while organic matter can be composted and methane can be used for heating or fuel for vehicles.
Waste could be separated for recycling at the site or transported to a materials-handling facility.
Obviously there could be problems with toxic material, dealing with the dangers of gas, impact on the environment etc but shouldn't the idea of extracting waste be discussed with commercial waste companies to establish whether the idea is a realistic proposition?

Discover why lithium-ion is a superior battery system.
Pioneer work with the lithium battery began in 1912 under G.N. Lewis, but it was not until the early 1970s that the first non-rechargeable lithium batteries became commercially available. Attempts to develop rechargeable lithium batteries followed in the 1980s but the endeavor failed because of instabilities in the metallic lithium used as anode material.
Lithium is the lightest of all metals, has the greatest electrochemical potential and provides the largest specific energy per weight. Rechargeable batteries with lithium metal on the anode (negative electrodes)* could provide extraordinarily high energy densities; however, it was discovered in the mid 1980s that cycling produced unwanted dendrites on the anode. These growth particles penetrate the separator and cause an electrical short. When this occurs, the cell temperature rises quickly and approaches the melting point of lithium, causing thermal runaway, also known as "venting with flame." A large number of rechargeable metallic lithium batteries sent to Japan were recalled in 1991 after a battery in a mobile phone released flaming gases and inflicted burns to a man's face.
The inherent instability of lithium metal, especially during charging, shifted research to a non-metallic solution using lithium ions. Although lower in specific energy than lithium-metal, Li ion is safe, provided cell manufacturers and battery packers follow safety measures in keeping voltage and currents to secure levels. [BU-304, Protection Circuits] In 1991, Sony commercialized the first Li ion battery, and today this chemistry has become the most promising and fastest growing on the market. Meanwhile, research continues to develop a safe metallic lithium battery.
Credit for inventing the lithium-cobalt-oxide should go to John Goodenough (1922). It is said that Goodenough was working with a graduate who was employed by Japanese giant Nippon Telephone & Telegraph (NTT). Shortly after Goodenough had invented Li-ion, the student traveled back to Japan, taking the discovery with him. In 1991, Sony announced having acquired an international patent on a lithium-cobalt-oxide cathode. Years of litigation ensued, but Sony was able to keep the patent and Goodenough received nothing for his efforts.
The specific energy of Li ion is twice that of NiCd, and the high nominal cell voltage of 3.60V as compared to 1.20V for nickel systems contributes to this gain. Improvements in the active materials of the electrode have the potential of further increases in energy density. The load characteristics are good, and the flat discharge curve offers effective utilization of the stored energy in a desirable voltage spectrum of 3.70 to 2.80V/cell. Nickel-based batteries also have a flat discharge curve that ranges from 1.25 to 1.0V/cell.
In 1994, the cost to manufacture Li-ion in the 18650** cylindrical cell with a capacity of 1,100mAh was more than $10. In 2001, the price dropped to $2 and the capacity rose to 1,900mAh. Today, high energy-dense 18650 cells deliver over 3,000mAh and the costs have dropped further. Cost reduction, increase in specific energy and the absence of toxic material paved the road to make Li-ion the universally accepted battery for portable application, first in the consumer industry and now increasingly also in heavy industry, including electric powertrains for vehicles.
In 2009, roughly 38 percent of all batteries by revenue were Li ion. Li-ion is a low-maintenance battery, an advantage many other chemistries cannot claim. The battery has no memory and does not need exercising (deliberate full discharge) to keep in shape. Self-discharge is less than half that of nickel-based systems. This makes Li ion well suited for fuel gauge applications. The nominal cell voltage of 3.60V can directly power cell phones and digital cameras, offering simplifications and cost reductions over multi-cell designs. The drawbacks are the need for protection circuits to prevent abuse, as well as high price.
Similar to the lead- and nickel-based architecture, lithium-ion uses a cathode (positive electrode), an anode (negative electrode) and electrolyte as conductor. The cathode is a metal oxide and the anode consists of porous carbon. During discharge, the ions flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte and separator; charge reverses the direction and the ions flow from the cathode to the anode. Figure 1 illustrates the process.
Figure 1: Ion flow
Li ion batteries come in many varieties but all have one thing in common — the catchword "lithium-ion." Although strikingly similar at first glance, these batteries vary in performance, and the choice of cathode materials gives them their unique personality.
Common cathode materials are Lithium Cobalt Oxide (or Lithium Cobaltate), Lithium Manganese Oxide (also known as spinel or Lithium Manganate), Lithium Iron Phosphate, as well as Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (or NMC)*** and Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (or NCA). All these materials possess a theoretical specific energy with given limits. (Lithium-ion has a theoretically capacity of about 2,000kWh, more than 10 times the specific energy of a commercial Li-ion battery.)
Sony's original lithium-ion battery used coke as the anode (coal product). Since 1997, most Li ion manufacturers, including Sony, have shifted to graphite to attain a flatter discharge curve. Graphite is a form of carbon that is also used in the lead pencil. It stores lithium-ion well when the battery is charged and has long-term cycle stability. Among the carbon materials, graphite is the most commonly used, followed by hard and soft carbons. Other carbons, such as carbon nanotubes, have not yet found commercial use as it tends to entangle within the material and does not disperse uniformly. This clumping effect is said to reduce the performance potential. Work is in progress to unravel the "fuzzy ball."
Figure 2: Voltage discharge curve of lithium-ion
A battery should have a flat voltage curve in the usable discharge range. The modern graphite anode does this better than the early coke version.
Courtesy of Cadex
The anode is also developing and several additives are being tried, including silicon-based alloys. It takes six carbon (graphite) atoms to bind to a single lithium ion, a single silicon atom can bind to four lithium ions. This means that the silicon anode can theoretically store more than 10 times the energy of graphite, but the problem is an expansion of the anode during charge. Absorbing the ions could expand the anode to four times the original size. Today's silicon achieves a 20 to 30 percent increase in specific energy at the cost of lower load currents and reduced cycle life.
Nano-structured lithium-titanate as an anode additive shows promising cycle life, good load capabilities, excellent low-temperature performance and superior safety, but the specific energy is low and the cost is high (see following pages).
Experimenting with cathode and anode material allows manufacturers to strengthen intrinsic qualities but one enhancement may compromise another. In the so-called "Energy Cell," battery makers optimize the specific energy (capacity) to achieve long runtimes but this may lower the specific power and reduce cycle life. On the "Power Cell," on the other hand, all efforts are made for high specific power to the sacrifice of capacity. There are also the "Hybrid Cell" that has a little of both, and the "Long-life Cell" that is strictly made for longevity. These specialty cells are larger in size and cost more.
Manufacturers can attain a high specific energy and low cost relatively easily by adding nickel in lieu of cobalt, but this makes the cell less stable. While a start-up company may focus on high specific energy to gain quick market acceptance, safety and durability cannot be compromised. Reputable manufacturers place high integrity on safety and longevity.
Never was the competition to improve the battery and find new chemistries more intense than today. Even an incremental improvement will give the battery a decisive advantage over fossil fuel, an energy source that is almost free. Although the media is not shy in publishing battery breakthroughs, there may be no homeruns at time of writing. Once identified, the new- comer will take four years to enter the market.
The battery industry gained its experience mainly in portable applications and the long-term suitability for the electric powertrain is still unknown. Cycle life, lasting performance and operating cost will only be known after having gone through a few generations of battery-powered vehicles and customer's acceptance has been solidified. Table 3 summarizes the advantages and limitations of Li-ion.

this subject is very important and necessery
Ilike this subject and it is very important also so necessery for university students
Very informative and also important for electricians like me.
Please include refs in all of the statements cuz I knew this "Attempts to develop rechargeable lithium batteries followed in the 1980s" is not true. It is actually started from 1972 Whittingham working at EXXON developed rechargeable LIBs based on Li metal and TiS2 and his work was published on Science in 1976. "http://www.sciencemag.org/content/192/4244/1126"
Very helpful for my project at SDU designing a battery system for Formula Student Electric and making presentations and to get the basic idea of what Li-ion battery is…
hi please hepp me i need 3,6v-3,7v rechargeble a verry smole size whit 10-15 mah the button cell dont work is to big my space in my aplications is not more then 25mmL/5mm l or w i m luking for a cylindrical batterys or may by button cell but not more then 6mm/6mm ,and a charger to go whit that ,if some one have them in stoke or anny idea please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Can making fuel out of electriity be promissing as well? I read something about making CO from CO2 and then using CO to compose all kinds of organic fuel. At least the specific energy would be huge compared to batteries.
It will not be useful for small equipment but for energy buffering it might be the solution.
How are evolutions for that kind of energy storage?
which is the difference between LiNiMnCoO2 and LiNiCoMn2O4.
Thank you.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone knows how to detect the SoC of a CR2 (lithium primary battery) without knowing its initial characteristics?
Thank You
I need regular information. i also want to know how to calculate energy cycle life.
This is probably a stupid question, but if the lithium cells are 3.6v, how can anyone make a 9v lithium battery? I would have thought it be, either 7.2v or 10.8v? Far from the 9v or even 8.4v advertised on various 9v lithiums.
In Table 3: "Characteristics of the four most commonly used lithium-ion batteries" there is a typo in the Cost row for Li-manganese
If Li-ion batteries don't need exercise to condition them, why wouldn't a Black & Decker hand-crank flashlight I have with Li-ion battery not hold a charge for even a half day until I exercised it (daily charging) for at least a couple weeks?
Referring to charging and monitoring LiPo batteries.
I am currently using a 2200Mah, 40-50C 11.1V batteries to fly my 450 helicopter and foam trainer
I use the I Charger 208b to recharge these batteries
I have flown 30 flights on a battery
I have been doing an individual 1C balance charge on each of my batteries after every flight and I try very hard to never fly any of the cells down below 90% of the voltage capacity.
I use 11.34V as my "fly to lower limit"
There have been a few, but very few, times that I have taken 1 or 2 batteries down to ±11.2V but no lower than that.
So I think I am being quite conservative and careful with these batteries. "I think" I might be wrong.
My questions:
1: I believe that it is not a good idea to charge after every flight but rather leave the batteries at ± 3.5 -3.7V per cell and rather charge fully just before flying again. Is this correct?
2: Is it a good idea to store these semi charged batteries in a fridge until just before use.
3: I have been monitoring the IR. of each cell after each flight and then again after each charge. I have been told that there is no benefit in measuring IR after a flight and should only measure after a charge at which point the individual IR readings of each cell should be close to the same. Is this correct and if so, how close to each other should these readings be and at what value of IR should I be suspecting a failing battery?
4: Is 90% being too conservative or should I be flying down to 80%?
Thank you in advance.
Does anyone know what is an electrolitic wetter, used in the Li‑ion batteries manufacturing?
Thank you
Can any one please tell me how should i calculate the efficiency of li-ion battery?
Can you please explain your units for specific power? Specific power normally has the units of W/kg, so power per mass. However, you have it in C, which I assume stands for coulombs, which is unrelated.
In the second para following Fig 1 you say
"Lithium-ion has a theoretically capacity of about 2,000kWh."
I think this should read 2,000kWh/kg?
my q is >> what is the relation between charging time, voltage , capacity, charging current in lithium ion rechargeable battery.
suppose how much time it will take 6000mah battery charging with 100mA with 4.2 volts.
It has been my experience that Li-ion cells that are never charged eventually enter a high resistance state and are ruined.
I suspect this damage is caused by low voltage. It may be that the high resistance state is proceeded by a internal discharge state which can reduce the voltage to zero in a few weeks. I would like to know the chemical and theoretical basis for this characteristic and especially voltages.
I have known good cells that can go a half year or maybe a year on the shelf without significant discharge. These had the safety circuit removed. I am having a hard time finding the schematics for laptop interfaces and safety circuits.
Does any body know what is the chemistry of LG chem 18650 MG1 2900 Ah battery? What does MG1 stands for?
if you want to know the cylce life of battery pack,you need a BMS with LCD .
I am trying to find an accurate method of determining the REAL usable capacity in mAh of my 3300mAh 6s LiPo.
My situation this far.
I need to accurately know what the real mAh capacity of the LiPo is for endurance calculation and primarily to be able to dial in the correct value for each individual pack into my telemetry for a specific flight with a specific battery pack.
What with age, deterioration and abuse, I understand that the capacity printed on the battery is just a guideline and rarely the real capacity of the pack. I am therefore treating this number as a starting point.
So! - a typical scenario just flown.
Pack fully charged before flight and according to my various devices readings:
iCharger indicates Pack Voltage: 25.2V
HK-010 power analyser indicates 99% capacity. I might be wrong, but I think this device calculates capacity based on Voltage and not Amperage - in which case this would not be what I am trying to achieve.
Based on previous flights time trials, I have 3000mAh dialled into my telemetry because I have simply taken the rated capacity and reduced it by 10% and I have my 'end flight warning' set at 25% of this 3000mAh value which has always been on the safe side of things for me. Not as accurate as I would like.
After flight, the wattmeter that I have plugged in for the flight, shows Vm 21.71V and 2355mAh used. All good and well, but I still don't know what the starting capacity was.
HK-010 power analyser indicates 32% capacity.
So now back to the charger where the charge required to re-fill the pack as 2400mAh. Value corresponds with wattmeter reading. I know I can do a calculation based on capacity used as a percentage of the rated capacity and multiply this with the time flown and get a "Rated Capacity endurance" but I know that this is not correct because the rated capacity and actual capacity are 2 different values. ie. Have I just used 2355/3300 or 2355/3000 or 2355/(what value)?
As it is, 3300-2400=900 and 900 expressed as a percentage of 3300 is 27%. Calculation based on my estimated real capacity of 3000mAh. 900 as a percentage of 3000 is 30% which is closer the HK-010 reading but this may just be coincidental for all I know.
I am also aware that the 3 different devices I am using will in all probability not be calibrated equally and that there will be discrepancies in the values. I need to understand which value to trust and use to ultimately get to the REAL capacity of this battery pack.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Thank u so much for such a wonderful work !! Your notes are too good.
Here I would like to ask one basic question ... why people dont use Water as an electrolyte for li ion battery ?
Hello sir
I am a mechanical engineer and interested in hybrid vehicles, but I lack some information about the types of traction batteries used in these vehicles, whichever is best
Please provide me with information and features of each type and cons of each type and what are the most spread of the battery and safety in the use of this type of batteries
Much thankful if educated about hybrid car batteries and its functions
It is safe when you don't full charge a battery and unplug it from the charger?
Hi gerald, yes ,that is safe no full charged for lithium-ion battery,
Can someone explain how brand new li-po batteries can sit on store shelves and not require to be charged to prevent full discharge but batteries used have to be stored at 40% and in time checked and brought back up.
Or do you run the risk that you buy bad new old stock?
My situation is I have music remote that uses a 3.7 V 300 mA battery part PL422042 which I can only find listed on one web page. I dont know how long he will have them and do not know how long he has had this stock. It would seems if not used they have a long shelf life right? They offer to upgrade the remote and firmware which i need to do so figured I would have them replace the dead battery. My other option is not to allow them to install the batter and do it mself later which will require to open the case and solder it. But I suspect they can not upgrade without the new battery so I am stuck with having a new one installed. HOWEVER I dont plan on using this as my primary , This will be my back up system.
So I wanted to know if there was a way to prolong the life of the battery without having to pull it out and charge it every week? (as the batteries I see for sale I am sure are not being changed up.)
This is not my area of expertise so am coming to be schooled at Battery U. Thanks
In the Table 3, what should be the cost for Li-manganese?
I am doing my Ph.D in Li-ion batteries.
Could anyone please tell me the exact formula for calculating specific capacitance of my material from CV-curve. I want my answer in mAh/g. Anyone please do the needful for me..
What are the current technical issues in LMR NMC Cathode Material?
And what are the approaches being considered to solve these issues?
I'm designing an electric motor-cycle and intensively I need information listed below about Li-Ion batteries, that would be my pleasure if you answer me or direct me somewhere to get these information.
type of Li-ion batteries used for this case , cell size , weight , capacity , price , manufacturer , ...
thank you
mansour bahrami , you can email to me firstname.lastname@example.com I will tell you the detail information
this was a great and helpful tool as I am studying level 3 engineering at college and this was one of the assignments and gave out clear and accurate information
I didn't see a graph on battery life vs depth of discharge at each cycle. A battery in which you can use all the energy it stores at each cycle without shortening its life will have a great advantage.
i want features of lithium ion batteries…..could you help you for this

Striker Patrick Agyemang has already agreed a permanent switch to Portsmouth having spent the second half of the season on loan at Fratton Park.
And Boro boss Westley has also released defenders Andy Iro, Miguel Comminges and Bondz N'Gala at the end of their contracts.
Full-back Gray, midfielder Grant and Canada striker Haber, who are entering the final year of their deals, have been transfer listed.
Chairman Phil Wallace told the club website:"Our income for last season was down 30 per cent and this impacts on the maximum permitted budget we can allocate for players next season.
"Graham wants to bring new lads in to replace those listed as he doesn't feel they'll get many game minutes under him next season.
"If that's the case it's better for all that they move on to develop their careers. We've had some interest already so we'll see what will happen."

God in Ruins
Editorial Staff • West End • 6 Dec 2007
Elements of b) are more paramount, as the starting off point of a parody of A Christmas Carol – with Bob Cratchit inviting Scrooge to get lost with his overweening offers of seasonal hospitality – is ditched in the story of a drunken television producer trying to get in touch with his daughter.
There is a sort of desperation about it all that is, in the end, quite appealing. Neilson, who also directs, and his company - who all figured in the RSC's year-long Complete Works Festival's double of Macbeth and Ionesco's Macbett at Stratford-upon-Avon earlier this year - have certainly come up with a good night's theatre.
At one point, they all assemble, each singing a Christmas carol in a madcap canon that can only be terminated in an arbitrary fashion. At another, the lights come up in the auditorium and a disillusioned soldier from the operation in Basra invades the stage, appeals to the audience and cries "A horse!" when he realises where he is.
As in his recent large-stage pieces, The Wonderful World of Dissocia and Realism, Neilson proves himself a genuine surrealist whose black sense of humour tinges a reckless delight in theatre for its own sake. This is an unusual strand in contemporary British theatre and it will be interesting to see if it leads to a major large-scale contribution with the RSC.
God in Ruins feels like a sketch. The television producer Brian (Brian Doherty) is visited by ghosts, fellow members of Alcoholics Anonymous and a flatmate in a wheelchair on whom he tries out an idea for a new reality programme about subjecting homosexuals to corrective torture, "Guantanamo Gay".
Brian is posting naked pictures of his estranged wife on the internet and eventually hooks up with the daughter (Patrick Kane doubles this robotic role with Cratchit in the first scene) in a parallel universe, a digital continent of virtual figures who seems to have exchanged the gritty realities of life on earth for simple-minded cyber life.
We are invited to make of this what we will. There's always the acting to enjoy, especially the rumpled disintegration of Mr Doherty as well as the soothing calmness of Jude Akuwudike as an African-robed counsellor, Sam Cox as the white-painted ghost of Scrooge and Ryan Gage as the soldier.

Ministry of Peace Building in the Nairobi Slums
"I have come so that they may have life and life to the fullness" This sentence of the Gospel tells us the desire of God that all may live fully. Peace is a condition for this fulness of life.
Reconciliation and the building of Peace are important tasks of the Church. Faced with the strong violence that poverty is, and the consequences of this situation that often brings about suffering and destruction of live, Peace Building has become an important and urgent ministry in the slums and Informal Settlements of Nairobi.
In many of the schools there are Peace Clubs, and Peace Building is part of the activitiy of many parishes.
Christ the King parish in Kibera and Kariobangi Parish have a Peace Department.
