Latest mobile application designed to make Lubricant selection easier
Shell, the number one global lubricants supplier*, today announced the launch of the Shell Lubricants app for iOS and Android. The app aims to become an essential tool for Shell customers across Europe and marks a further step into mobile for the global energy company.
The free app, which will initially launch in the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany before rolling out to other regions, integrates the Shell LubeMatch lubricant selector tool, currently available on www.shell.com and allows users to find the right Shell lubricants for vehicles and industrial equipment.
Users can save their choices to 'Favourites' and access the latest news and promotions. The application provides lubricant recommendations for cars, motorcycles, vans, trucks, off-highway vehicles and industrial machinery and allows users to share these easily via email. The app also features a handy flashlight - especially useful for looking under the bonnet.
The app has built-in cloud enabled technology that will allow it to be continually refreshed with new content and making it a repeat destination for customers looking to find out more and make the right lubricants choice for their vehicles or machinery.
Oliver van Bilsen, Global Head of Digital for Shell Lubricants, commented "Mobile has become a hugely important platform globally and is a great way to add value to existing and potential customers. Shell aims to offer something more useful to customers than just another driving game; we wanted to differentiate Shell Lubricants and offer functionality that delivers real long-term value, and something that people will come back to time and time again.
"Shell Lubricants is the first to offer this in this marketplace and we are delighted with the feel and functionality of the app, which we will continue to expand out with more features to improve the overall user experience."
The app will be available for both iPhone and Android devices as of today from both the iTunes store (http://bit.ly/RGgzMv) and the Google play store (http://bit.ly/TtdblV)
Notes to Editors
The app will be downloadable from the iTunes Store and Google Play store in Russia, Germany and the UK and will be available on supported platforms: iOS 5 or later on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd generation or later), or iPad and Android (OS 2.3 or later).
Other shell apps already available include the Investor & Media and Inside Energy apps and Shell Motorist app.

Sourced Directly from Give Directly
Traditional ways of giving internationally are complex. Donors typically give to international NGOs that manage money, fundraise, and implement programs through partner organizations abroad which have their own (usually hidden) cost structures. Overall it is hard for donors to tell how their money will be used, what this will cost, and whether there is any evidence that it works.
At GiveDirectly we've created a simpler way: we take money from donors and give it to the poor. We can do this because modern payments technology has drastically cut the costs of sending money directly to the extreme poor, at the same time as new research has shown the powerful effects this has on their lives. At GiveDirectly we see these trends converging to make direct giving the benchmark against which the old, top-down models are evaluated.

Continuing on with our July theme of how the Technology Age our planet is experiencing is influencing other industries…
We love entrepreneurs of all sorts. In particular we love entrepreneurs who create things that make our lives easier. In this example technology has a date with the world of couture. World's Best Travel Jacket with 15 Features (WBTJ/15) by Baubax is another Kickstarter project that has the potential to make travel easier and style effortless. The company is presenting a travel "hoodie" that essentially has a lot of slots to store things like smartphones, tablets, headphones, passport, wallet, etc. Nothing groundbreaking right? Wrong.
Baubax steps outside the box and closes the lid! First off, I must preface that my excitement behind this project is galvanized by a big pet peeve – I hate carrying things in my hands when I travel! I have a tendency to set important things down on counters, seats and security belts, only to have a cardiac infarction mid-flight at the realization that the "thing" is no longer in my hand. While I love all the little pockets, this Kickstarter project goes a step or two beyond compartmentalizing. For example my two favorite features are the inflatable neck pillow and foldaway gloves.
Neck Pillow: I love having a neck pillow just as much as I hate carrying a neck pillow through airports. I always debate whether I should carry that half-donut-ridiculous-looking-thing to keep from slobbering on the poor soul seated next to me, or just leave it behind! With the WBTJ/15 that quandary is solved. The neck pillow inflates and deflates within seconds and stays attached to the neck lining of the hoodie.
Foldaway Gloves: For some reason my hands do tend to be sensitive to temperature during flight – especially red-eye flights. Yet, I rarely choose to travel with gloves unless my destination requires the extra layer. Once again, problem solved with WBTJ/15. Gloves tuck under the sleeve opening when not in use.
There are a few more features beyond pockets, like a cup holder (yes, I wrote cup holder) and an eye mask. Check out the video and see for yourself.

If you look around you will see many things in your day-to-day life that have undergone very little innovation. For example, pens, scissors, light sockets, wall sockets, doorknobs, ceiling fans, and yes – relevant to this article – the hanger. The simple hook and hang concept has been credited to multiple inventors as far back as the late 1800s. Yet, little has changed… until now. You see it turns out this little Technology Age we are undergoing as a planet is helping to galvanize other industries like design, industrial, etc. and the hanger is the latest benefactor. Thanks to the Kickstarter (a tech age product) Hangdsgn (industrial design) is raising funds to manufacture a magnetic hanger sans hook. It sticks to the bottom of a metal rod and holds up to 2lbs of clothing. The only design flaw I see is the majority of closets consists of two big hooks and a single wooden parrallel pole – which does not play nice with magnets. However, this definitely has promise for retail. Good luck Hangdsgn!

The US Navy has built a prototype that extracts CO2 from seawater while simultaenously producing H2. Those gases are then converted to liquid hydrocarbons by a metal catalyst in a reactor system. Ok, so if the first two sentences of this blog article didn't drop your jaw to the ground then the fact that the liquid powered an internal combustion engine should. They are now moving to a full-scale commercial implementation. Why is this not on the cover of Times? I get local news is too dumb to grasp the gravity of this accomplishment, but why are scientists around the world not planning a ticker tape parade? Hello…Anyone there? This is huge!

There have been plenty of candidates, but what was the best?
Was it Anderson Silva front-kicking Vitor Belfort to retain his middleweight title at UFC 126? Was it Quinton Jackson winning the light heavyweight title with a "Rampge"-like knockout of Chuck Liddell at UFC 71?
How about Lyoto Machida crumpling Rashad Evans at UFC 98, or James Irvin's flying knee to Terry Martin at UFC 54?
All contenders, for sure. But many would argue that Gabriel Gonzaga's head-kick knockout of Mirko Filipovic at UFC 70 in April 2007 tops them all.
Gonzaga came into the fight with three straight stoppage wins to start his UFC career, and the bout against "Cro Cop" was a title eliminator with the winner moving on to meet then-heavyweight champ Randy Couture.
That Gonzaga knocked out the PRIDE legend would have been good enough. But that he did it in the same fashion that "Cro Cop" made famous was fascinating MMA irony. "Cro Cop," of course, was best known for his head kicks, moves that spawned the adage, "Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery." It's possible that Filipovic never was the same after the Brazilian put him down with nine seconds left in the first round of their fight.
So what do you think? Was Gonzaga's KO of "Cro Cop" the best knockout in UFC history? Check out the video above, then weigh in for yourself in the comments section.

APP OF THE DAY: Jaws (iPhone/iPod touch/iPad)
Here at Pocket-lint we're always on the lookout for a new game to play on the go, and there is an ever-increasing selection on the iTunes App Store covering everything from the highly addictive Angry Birds through to classics such as Tetris and the thinking man's game, Sudoku. But if you're after something a bit different for your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, then look no further than this simple and somewhat unsettling app, based on Spielberg's classic bloodthirsty monster movie of the same name.
- Format
- iPhone/iPod touch/iPad
- Price
- £2.37
- Where
- iTunes
The second you fire up Jaws you'll be greeted with the chillingly familiar theme music, which you can turn off - along with the sound effects - but we'd recommend keeping it on to get the full, nail-biting effect. Your task in the game is to take on the role of Amity Island top copper, Chief Brody, and to guide the swimmers to safety before they end up in the belly of the killer shark. Once you've guided all of the swimmers to safety by flicking them across the screen and onto the beach, and probably left a few of the unlucky ones to get eaten, you'll move on to the next level. Each level is relatively similar, and requires you to save as many floundering proles as possible by helping them to shore or onto boats and guiding the boats to safety. In the last round you'll come face to face with Jaws himself.
Athough there are probably better gaming options available in the App Store that won't cost you a penny, we couldn't resist this one's addictive gameplay, attractive graphics, and heart-pounding music. Although we probably wouldn't get a job in the Amity Island PD, thanks to an embarassingly high body count. Shark 1, Pocket-lint 0.

An increase in the price of whole milk powder led to a rise in the overall dairy price index at last night's global commodity auction.
The GlobalDairyTrade's trade-weighted price index overnight rose 0.5 per cent compared with the last sale two weeks ago.
The average winning price was up to US$5042 (NZ$6150) a tonne from US$5025 (NZ$6048) a tonne.
Maximum supply, the measure of how much product is for sale, dropped from 41,338 tonnes to 36,098 tonnes, with a total of 35,399 tonnes sold.
The rise followed a 1.4 per cent lift in the dairy commodity price index at the last auction.
ANZ senior foreign exchange manager Sam Tuck said whole milk powder, the biggest category by volume, drove the index gain.
Whole milk powder was up 1.4 per cent and future supply contracts to June maintained high prices, which was an "encouraging sign", Tuck said.
Northern hemisphere production increased around that time, which could cause a drop in value but prices seemed to be holding.
Supply was a bit lower at last night's auction but it was not abnormally low and was not the main driver of the price increase, he said.
In last night's auction two of the nine product categories rose, while skim milk powder was unchanged. Butter led the gainers, up 2.6 per cent, followed by whole milk powder.
However, cheddar fell 4.3 per cent and rennet casein was down 3.7 per cent after posting recent gains that had helped reduce the price gap between the price of milk powder and other commodities.
Last night 185 bidders took part in the auction, with 124 winning bidders, and 788 qualified to bid. American company Land O'Lakes would begin offering skim milk powder on the online auction from March 4.
Land O'Lakes said it also planned to offer butter via the platform later in the year.
GlobalDairyTrade is owned by Fonterra, with Fonterra products representing 89 per cent of the product sold in the fortnightly auction.
US, Australian, Indian, European and Scandinavian dairy companies also sell their products on the independent platform.

The present invention relates to panel assemblies. More particularly, the invention relates to panel assemblies of the modular type.
Modular acoustical panel assemblies are well known for providing sound absorbing and attenuating walls, ceilings and floors which are easy to construct and build with a minimum of effort and skill.
For example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,038,796 (the '796 patent); 4,074,489 (the '489 patent); and 4,106,255 (the '255 patent), improved acoustical modular panel assemblies are described which are easily and quickly assembled and disassembled without the need for specialized tools. Each of these assemblies includes a plurality of identical modular panels which are adapted to be assembled together to form the desired room element (e.g. wall). In assembling the panels together to form a flat wall, each panel is aligned and oriented with respect to an adjacent panel so that the side edges of the respective panels are in confronting and spaced relationship. Each panel includes a substantially flat body and at least one tongue which extends along a side edge of the panel substantially parallel to and spaced from the body so as to form a channel therebetween which is open along one side of the panel. In the '255 patent, the tongue is provided with a flange portion which extends from the tongue away from the channel.
The panel assemblies described in each of these patents also include connector means for connecting the panels together in an acoustically tight manner. These connector means include two preferably U-shaped connector members, each comprising two substantially parallel side plates and a web or strap connected to and supporting the side plates. The first connector is located such that its web or strap spans the gap between the open ends of the two opposing end channels of two adjacent panels, and its parallel side plates extend respectively into one or the other of the channels in a tight fitting relationship therewith. The web or strap of the first connector thereby acts as the bridging element between the adjacent panels. The second connector, on the other hand, is located within the gap between the two opposing end tongues of the two adjacent panels, such that its two parallel side plates bear against the adjoining tongues and its web or strap spans the distance between the closed ends of the two opposing end channels of the two adjacent panels. These connectors may be maintained in place by either the frictional/resilient engagement of the parts, or by mechanically removably affixing the connectors together.
Various connector configurations are also disclosed for connecting the side edges of panels whose side surfaces are aligned and oriented at a right angle, so that the panels can form a corner. One such connector comprises a body having a substantially L-shaped cross-section wherein both legs of the L have a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the adjacent flat panels. The corner is then formed by inserting the respective legs of the L-shaped connector into one or the other of the two end channels of the two adjacent panels.
The advantages and disadvantages of panel assemblies of the type just described are well known. The modular nature of the panels facilitates assembly and disassembly, and reduces costs. The connectors provide structural integrity, a vertical load bearing column between each pair of panels, and a raceway between panels for the accommodation of plumbing lines, electrical cables, communication lines, and the like. Also, the sound absorption and attenuation achievable with modular wall constructions of the types just described is generally good.
The joints between the acoustic panels are not totally sealed, however, so the structure cannot be categorized as totally sound proof. In addition, rooms constructed of such panels tend to provide little barrier to electrical radiation entering or exiting the room. Unfortunately, however, many applications exist wherein a barrier substantially impervious to both sound and electrical radiation, particularly in the radio frequency range, is required. For example, numerous very delicate medical procedures require the maintenance of a sound free environment and an electrical radiation free environment, so that sensitive measuring devices can function without any outside sound and/or electrical radiation interference. Similarly, in some situations where information security is of great importance, it is desirable to provide an enclosure in which activities may take place without fear of outside observation or detection of the actions, sounds, or electronic activities occurring within the enclosure. In the latter situation, it is also generally important that the walls, ceilings and floors making up the enclosure be suited for periodic inspection, so as to be able to assure the absence of sound and/or electrical listening devices within or adjacent to the walls, ceilings and/or floors.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a modular wall assembly which presents a barrier which is substantially impermeable to both sound and electrical radiation.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a modular wall assembly including an improved corner connecting means for joining adjacent wall portions.
Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sealing gasket for use in connecting adjacent wall panel modules which has sound insulating characteristics and is resistant to the passage of electrical radiation.
Still further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a lightweight, easy to assemble modular wall assembly which is both acoustically insulating and resistant to the passage of electrical radiation.
Still further, it is an object of the present invention to provide an acoustically insulating/electrical radiation resistant modular wall assembly which is readily adaptable to the formation of a sound and electrical radiation resistant enclosure.
Still further, is it is an object of the present invention to provide an acoustically insulating/electric radiation resistant enclosure wherein the individual panels making up the enclosure are readily and easily removable for inspection without significant disassembly of the remainder of the enclosure structure.
These and other objects of the invention are accomplished by the provision of at least two modular panels of the type described above with respect to the '255 patent, i.e., including a substantially flat body and a tongue extending substantially parallel to and spaced from at least one edge of the body so as to form a channel therebetween. The tongue is also provided with a flange extending away from the channel. The panels are filled with sound absorbing material, and at least the tongue, the flange and the surface of the panel adjacent the closed end of the channel are made of electrical radiation resistant material. Adjacent panels of the same wall are joined substantially as described in the '255 patent, i.e., by a first substantially U-shaped connector having two side plates which extend into corresponding channels of the aligned adjacent panels, and by a second substantially U-shaped connector disposed between the tongues of the adjacent panels, the first and second connectors being releasably secured together so as to clamp the flange portions of the adjacent panels therebetween. A sound/electrical radiation resistant gasket is located between the flanges and the first connector to assure the continuous resistance of the wall assembly to sound and electrical radiation in the area of the joint.
Further, an improved corner connection assembly is provided for connecting two adjacent modular panels of the type just described which are aligned and oriented at an angle to each other, with their corresponding tongue bearing edges facing the intersection of the planes containing the panels. The corner connector assembly includes a third connector having a body portion located substantially at the intersection of the above planes, and a pair of fourth connectors each having a substantially L-shaped cross-section. The third connector also includes first and second surfaces respectively engaging the lower surfaces of one or the other of the flanges. The fourth connectors are located with one leg of their L-shaped cross-section extending into a channel on one of the panels and their other leg bearing against, but extending beyond, the upper surface of the corresponding flange. The portions of the fourth connectors residing adjacent the flanges are releasably affixed to the corresponding first and second surfaces of the third connector, thereby completing the corner joinder of the panels. A sound/electrical radiation resistant gasket is located between the flanges and the fourth connectors of the respective joints. Further, an electrical radiation resistant corner shield is mounted between the first and second surfaces of the third connector by flanges clamped between the respective surfaces and the fourth connector members.
It is contemplated that given the preferred embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, it will be readily possible for those skilled in the art to construct sound and/or electrical radiation resistant walls and enclosures from modular components. In particular, the concepts and practices of the present invention will be seen to be readily integrable into a total construction concept without departure from the present invention in its broadest aspects, as will more fully hereinafter appear.
Other features, and many attendant advantages of the present invention, are disclosed in, or will be rendered obvious to those skilled in the art from, the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is to be considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a panel assembly made in accordance with the present invention, including a corner whereat two flat wall sections meet;
FIG. 2 is a fragmented plan sectional view taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmented perspective view of a portion of the connecting means employed in the creation of the flat wall portion of the assembly shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a fragmented perspective view of a corner connection member suitable for use in the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a fragmented perspective view of a representative radiation shield suitable for use with the corner connector shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a fragmented sectional view of the panel assembly of FIG. 1 taken along the line 6--6; and
FIG. 7 is a partially exploded perspective view of an enclosure utilizing the panel assembly of the present invention.
Referring now specifically to the drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout, and particularly to FIG. 1, a modular panel assembly in accordance with the present invention is representatively shown at 1. In this assembly, a flat wall section 5 including two panels 10 coupled by joinder means 7, and a flat wall section 3 including a single panel 10 are shown joined at an angle to each other by corner connecting means 8. It is to be understood that the flat wall sections of the present invention may include one or more identical panels without departure from the present invention.
As best seen in FIG. 2, each of the identical panels 10 includes a pair of flat plates 12a and 12b mounted in parallel spaced apart relation so as to form a substantially flat body. While both plates may be solid and made from the same material, it is preferred that plate 12a be perforated so as to reduce its weight and so as to render it transparent to sound, and that it be made of a lightweight material such as aluminum. Plate 12b, on the other hand, is solid and made from a material resistant to electrical radiation such as galvanized steel.
The top and bottom longitudinal edges of the plates 12a and 12b are secured together by stiffeners 14a and 14b respectively. Each stiffener has a body portion 17, a pair of side flanges 16 which are secured to the inside surfaces of plates 12a and 12b, and end flanges 18 which extend transversely to and are spaced from the side flanges 16 so as to provide a relief (not shown) at each corner of the stiffener. It will be understood that the body portion 17 of the stiffeners 14a and 14b may be recessed with respect to the adjacent edges of the plates 12a and 12b as shown in FIG. 2 or, alternatively, may be located in the same plane with those edges without departure for the invention. The stiffeners are made of lightweight material such as aluminum.
Side walls 20a and 20b (best seen in FIG. 6), also made of lightweight material such as aluminum or light gauge steel, are located between plates 12a and 12b and between stiffeners 14a and 14b. Flange portions 21a and 21b extend inwardly form the opposing longitudinal edges of each of the side walls 20a and 20b and are attached to the inner surfaces of plates 12a and 12b. Walls 20a and 20b also are attached to stiffeners 14a and 14b. It has been found that the securement of plates 12a and 12b to the stiffeners 14a and 14b, and to the flanges 21a and 21b of the side walls 20a and 20b, is conveniently accomplished with acoustically insulative foam tape 122 having adhesive on both sides; however, any convenient means of securement may be utilized without departure from the present invention. Thus, for example, in the situation where plate 12b is formed out of galvanized steel and side walls 20a and 20b are formed out of light gauge steel, side walls 20a and 20b may be welded to plate 12b. The volume defined by plates 12a and 12b, side walls 20a and 20b, and stiffeners 14a and 14b is filled with sound absorbing material 15, e.g. glass wool, mineral wool, or plastic foam.
Plate 12b (see FIG. 6) includes at least one side, right angle extension 22, hereinafter referred to as a "tongue 22". Each tongue 22 extends along the adjacent side edge of the panel and is spaced from the adjacent side wall 20a or 20b so as to form an open channel 24 therebetween. Each tongue 22 also is provided with a flange portion 26 having a predetermined width and extending substantially perpendicular to the tongue.
First and second connectors 28 and 30 are provided substantially as shown and described in the '255 patent referred to above for the formation of joints between panels in the construction of flat walls. The first connector 28 (best seen in FIG. 6) is a generally U-shaped channel having a pair of spaced parallel plates 32 and 34 engaging the open channels 24 of the adjacent panels 10, and a web or strap 36 connecting the plates 32 and 34. The first connector 28 is formed of a electrical radiation resistant material similar to that used for plate 12b. The second connector 30 (best seen in FIGS. 3 and 6) is also a generally U-shaped channel having a pair of spaced parallel plates 40 connected by a web or strap 42, wherein the outer edges of the plates 40 include inwardly extending opposing flanges 44. The second connector 30 is located in a snug fit between the outer surfaces of the tongues 22 of the adjacent panels 10, with its inwardly extending flanges 44 bearing against the lower surfaces of the outwardly extending flanges 26 of the respective tongues 22. The interior of the second connector 30 is filled with a sound absorbing material 45 similar to that filling the panels 10, and the connector itself is preferably formed of a lightweight material such as aluminum.
A two part gasket 46 (best seen in FIG. 6) is located between the outwardly extending flanges 26 and the inner surface of the web 36 of the first connector 28. The gaskets 46 extend substantially the entire length of the flanges 26 and include a strip 48 of sound absorbing foam, preferably a closed cell foam made of neoprene, urethane or rubber, bordered on its edges 49 with a strip 50 of metal mesh having a thickness at least as great as that of the foam strip. The metal mesh is highly conductive and may conveniently be composed of a zinc steel alloy. Gaskets 51a and 51b of sound insulative material such as rubber may be located at the bottom of the channels 24 so as to engage plates 32 and 34 to further insulate the joint against sound leakage.
The first and second connectors 28 and 30 are releasably connected to each other in the area between the flanges 26, for example by bolt 52 extending through the web portion 36 of the first connecting member 28, and the gaps between the flanges 26 of the adjacent panels 10, and the flanges 44 of the second connecting member 30, to threadingly engage a retention member 54 extending between the plates 40 immediately below the flanges 44, with retention member 54 being provided with an opening 56 to receive the ends of bolts 52.
Further, as was the case with the '255 patent referred to above, the tongues 22 may extend upwardly along the adjoining sides of the panels 10 only a portion of the height of those sides, with the first and second connectors 28 and 30 being sized accordingly. In this manner, channels 200 may be created on the inner side of the wall assembly 1. These channels may act as a raceway for electrical, communication, plumbing or similar lines. They also provide a recess for containing the attachment means for the joinder, i.e., the bolts, thereby providing security from outside tampering with the barrier. The appearance of a solid barrier may also be maintained in the latter alternative by providing a lightweight cover schematically shown at 202 for the channels 200.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the wall assembly just described provides both a continuous barrier to electrical radiation and improved sound absorption joint characteristics. Specifically, the plate 12b of each panel 10 extends directly and continuously to form the tongues 22 and the flanges 26. The flanges 26 in turn are connected to the first connector member 28 by the metal mesh portion 50 of the gaskets 46 to create a continuous radiation barrier. The gaskets 46, 51a and 51b, along with the sound absorptive material 45 contained within the second connector 30, act to improve the acoustically insulative properties of the joint. To the extent that the connection of the first connector 28 to the second connector 30 by bolt 52 may create leaks in this barrier, those leaks are not believed to be significant. This is because the direct metal to metal contact of the head of the bolt 52 with the outer surface of the first connector 28 effectively seals the opening through which the bolt passes.
The creation of an enclosed space protected from both sound and radiation leaks, however, requires an effectively sealed corner joint as well.
The present invention provides such a corner joint. Specifically, to connect two panels 10 at an angle to one another so as to form a corner between them as representatively shown in FIG. 1, a corner assembly 8 is provided which includes a third connector 60 and a pair of fourth connectors 62a and 62b.
Connector 60, best seen in FIGS. 4 and 6, includes a body portion 64 and support portions 66 and 67 extending outwardly from the body portion toward each of the adjacent panels 10. Support portions 66 and 67 each include an outer bearing surface 68a and 68b, respectively, adapted to bear against the outer surface of the tongue 22 of one of the panels 10, and an inner bearing surface 69a and 69b respectively, normal to the adjacent outer bearing surface 68a or 68b and having a width substantially greater than the predetermined width of the flange 26. In the preferred form of the invention illustrated in the drawings, body portion 64 is an elongated hollow member having a substantially square cross-section which is filled with sound absorbing material 70. Support portions 66 and 67 are also elongated, hollow, square in cross-section, and filled with sound absorbing materials 71a and 71b, respectively. Support portions 66 and 67 extend at a right angle to each other, projecting outwardly from the body portion 64 next to opposing diagonal corners of its cross-section. The walls of body portion 64 and support portion 66 preferably are made of a lightweight material such as aluminum.
A shield 80 (best seen in FIGS. 5 and 6) of material resistant to electrical radiation, e.g. galvanized steel, mates with the exterior surface of the body portion 64 between the inner bearing surfaces 69a and 69b of the supports 66 and 67. Shield 80 includes flanges 81a and 81b extending outwardly therefrom toward the flanges 26 of the adjacent panels 10.
The pair of fourth connectors 62a and 62b, each including a pair of plates, 82a and 82b, and 83a and 83b, respectively, and defining a substantially L-shaped cross-section, complete the assembly. These connectors are located such that plates 82a and 82b respectively substantially fill the channels 24 on the edges of the panels 10 adjacent to the third connector 60. The other plates 83a and 83b of the fourth connectors 62a and 62b extend along the upper surface of the adjacent flanges 26 and thence toward the body portion 64, over flanges 81a and 81b of the shield 80. Gaskets 86a and 86b of sound absorbing material are located at the bottom of each channel 24 to engage plates 82a and 82b, respectively, and sound absorbing/electrical radiation resistant gaskets 88a and 88b of the type described above are located between the flanges 26 of the adjacent panels 10 and the corresponding fourth connecting member 62a or 62b. Releasable attachment means join the fourth connecting members 62a and 62b to the support portions 66 and 67. Bolts 92a and 92b have been found to be satisfactory for this purpose.
Further, as was the case in the '255 patent referred to above, the tongues 22 may extend upwardly along the adjoining sides of the panels 10 only a portion of the height of those sides, with the supports 66 and 67 being sized accordingly. In this manner channels 96a and 96b may be created on the inner side of the wall assembly 1. These channels may act as a raceway for electrical, communication, plumbing or similar lines. They also provide a recess for containing the attachment means for the joint, i.e., the bolts, thereby providing security from outside tampering with the barrier. The appearance of a solid barrier also may be maintained in the latter alternative by providing a lightweight cover schematically shown at 98a and 98b for the channels 96a and 96b.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the corner assembly just described provides the same sort of sound and radiation barrier as the flat wall joint described previously. The radiation barrier extends from the plate 12b of one panel through the tongue 22 and flange 26 adjacent to that panel and thence through the metal mesh portion of the gaskets 88a and 88b to the shield 80. Thereafter the barrier continues in reverse order to the plate 12b of the other panel. Sound leakage is also reduced in a manner similar to that described previously in this application.
Given the foregoing, those skilled in the art further will understand that the modular panel assembly illustratively disclosed herein lends itself to numerous configurations and usage contexts. For example, an entire enclosure including not only walls, but also ceiling and floor, may be constructed utilizing the present invention. Further, this may be accomplished easily while retaining the ability to remove individual panels without disturbance to the remainder of the structure. FIG. 7 is illustrative of the latter concept. An enclosure is there shown including a framework of twelve edge beams 100 arranged to form a cube, and a plurality of surface beams 102 located at intervals between the various pairs of edge beams 100. This form of framing for an enclosure is common in the construction arts and will be easily understood by workers who otherwise are unfamiliar with modular assemblies. By providing edge beams 100 with the cross-sectional configuration of the body portion 64 and support portions 66 and 67 of the above described corner assembly, and by providing the surface beams 102 with the construction indicated for the second connector members 30, and further providing each panel 10 with a channel 24 as described herein adjacent both of its sides and both of its ends, the assembly of a secure acoustic and electrical radiation resistant enclosure is much simplified. Specifically, each panel 10 need only be placed in the space between adjacent pairs of support members 100 and/or 102, and thereafter connected to them and the panels adjacent thereto in the manner herein described, to them to complete the assembly. In such an assembly, the only radiation leakage will be at the corners where three planar surfaces come together. These corners are easily sealed with electrically conductive putty or the like. Also, since lightweight materials are used for the entire framework and for as much of the panel and joint assemblies as possible, transportation of the enclosure and its erection are simplified and costs are significantly reduced.
Therefore, the foregoing description of a preferred embodiment of this invention should be taken as illustrative only, and in no way limiting. Various modifications, improvements, alterations and the like will occur to those in the art which are within the contemplation of the invention in its broadest aspects. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention be limited and defined only by the accompanying claims.

Loving the D700 by the way (not that the D7000 was a bad camera, it was actually a really great camera with a fantastic DR, at least as long as there was enough light)...
I have the D700 and 17-35. But as much as I love this lens I would suggest the 18-35 and spend the difference on another additional lens. The 12 mp FX sensor isn't as demanding as the higher mp sensors. Probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you need F2.8
