United States Patent US. Cl. 260-41 R 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of producing heat-resistant up to 350 C. antifriction materials for dry friction units. The method consists in curing a mixture of polyphenylene oligomers in combination with various fillers. The oligomers are characterized by the structure X-CECH wherein X is a direct band, phenylene,
n=08; R is H, phenyl,
{page R is H, phenyl,
and also -XCHECH; n=0600, wherein when X is a direct bond, n is at least 1.
The cured products feature a friction coeflicient of 0.08-0.17, heat resistance up to 370 C., impact strength up to 17 kg.-cm./cm. and can be used, mainly for rolling and sliding friction units.
The present invention relates to antifriction materials, and more particularly to polymer antifriction materials which are used to operate under dry friction conditions, and to a method of producing such materials.
Known in the art is a number of antifriction polymer materials that are used for operation under dry friction conditions. Such materials are produced, mainly, on the basis of polytetrafiuoroethylene and fillers, including antifriction fillers, such as molybdenum disulphide and graphite. Such a material is proposed, for example, in US. Pat. No. 3,453,208.
However, the material disclosed in said US. patent and other similar materials suffer from a number of disadvantages, the most essential of these being:
(1) Insufiicient thermostability of polytetrafiuoroethylene, which may lead to evolution of toxic substances from the zone of friction.
(2) Low heat resistance, not exceeding 220 C., which practically precludes the possibility of using such material at higher temperatures.
(3) High absolute value of friction coeflicient, which is as great as 0.2 for pure polytetrafiuoroethylene under conditions of friction between end surfaces.
(4) Difiiculties encountered when producing composite materials on the basis of polytetrafiuoroethylene, that are associated 'with a complicated technology of preparing monolithic samples.
(5) Instability of such materials under conditions of radiation and high vacuum.
The advantages offered by the polyphenylene structure over any other structure of an organic polymer as regards its thermostability and heat resistance are well known from literature sources.
However, the obtained polymers of polyphenylene type feature a high molecular weight and a rigid structure and, due to their poor flowability and insolubility, cannot be used for producing composite materials.
The object of the present invention is to provide an antifriction material which can operate without liquid lubrication up to a temperature of 350 C.
Said object is accomplished by using for the preparation of a composite polymer material (an antifriction material being implied), a mixture of oligomers of the polyphenylene type, that contain ethynyl groups, have a low molecular weight and, as a consequence, feature fusibility and solubility. We have established, that such a mixture of oligomer products, in the presence of fillers selected by us, under the conditions specified hereinbelow, can, under the effect of elevated temperatures, become cured, resulting in the formation of heat-resistant materials.
Thus, the material proposed herein is a product of curing of a composition consisting of a mixture of oligomers of polyphenylene, whose molecular weight is low, which are fusible, either partially or completely soluble in organic solvents, contain ethynyl groups, and conform to the approximate structural formula wherein X is a direct band, phenylene,
@05011; R is H, phenyl,
HC E C-X-C E CH wherein X is Q Q Q and the formula of the monoethynyl derivative being R-C-=- CH wherein R is phenyl,
J; 110% n 110 \(JH o c JP K E- which is present in the obtained mixture of oligomers.
The obtained mixture of oligomers is noted for the presence of fractions having diiferent molecular weight, ranging from 300 to 10,000, as determined ebullioscopically in a solution of chloroform.
The melting point of the product is within the range of 50 to 140 C. The mixture of oligomers contains unreacted free ethynyl groups.
As fillers, the material of the present invention comprises substances that are either produced synthetically, or have a natural mineral origin, at least one of these substances possessing antifriction properties.
In the present case the question is of a group of the so-called solid lubricants and similar substances, the main representatives of which, that have been tested for the production of the material proposed by us are: mo-
lybdenurn disulphide, graphite, boron nitride, tungsten di- 7 sulphide, tungsten diselenide, graphitized fibre, talc, vermiculite.
Besides the above-cited group of fillers, the present material may aslo comprise a filler, selected from the group consisting of strengthening agents: glass fibre, asbestos fibre, carbon fibre; from the group consisting of metallic fillers: powdered copper, nickel, silver, molybdenum; and also from the group consisting of additives able to regulate friction: silica dust, asbestos powder.
The proposed fillers do not interfere with the curing of the mixture of polyphenylene oligomers.
The present antifriction material proves to be operable at temperatures up to SOD-350 C., and thus excels the known antifriction materials used in dry friction units.
The most interesting and cheap variety of the present material, which at the same time exhibits excellent ther- --CECH wherein R is phenyl: R is H, phenyl,
and fillers, at least one of which has antifriction properties. In this case a mixture of polyphenylene oligomers comprises oligomers obtained by the reaction of polycyclotrimerization from phenylacetylene and diethynyl-benzene, taken in a molar ratio of 3: l.
The molecular weight of the polyphenylene mixture thus obtained, as determined ebullioscopically in a solution of chloroform, is 1000-7000. The melting point is 60 C.
As fillers the proposed material comprises a number of substances, the use of which will become more fully appreciated from a consideration of the following table, which lists only the fillers employed, without specifying the mixture of oligomers.

Metallic fillers Copper powder.
Nickel powder. Silver powder. Molybdenum powder.

Groups of fillers Articles manufactured from the material thus produced feature excellent heat resistance, reaching 350 C.
However, due to an excessively rigid structure of the resulting cured product, in many cases it is expedient to use fibre or a fabric filler. In all cases an appropriate combination is recommendable, as shown in the table and substantiated by examples.
Another variety featuring improved physico-mechanical properties is a material which is a product of curing of a composition, consisting of a mixture of polyphenylene oligomers conforming to the formula wherein R is H, CECH iz= 1-600;
X is a direct bond R is H,
and fillers, of which at least one has antifriction properties.
In this case the mixture consists of polyphenylene oligomers produced by the reaction of polycyclotrimerization from phenylacetylene and diethylnyldiphenylethane.
The molecular weight of the obtained mixture of oligomers is about 5000. The melting point is about 70 C. As fillers the present material comprises a number, of
substances, whose use will become more fully apparent from a consideration of Table 2 below.

wherein For producing antifriction materials with optimal properties, the mixture of oligomers is to be subjected to heating either under a vacuum or in air at a temperature of 80-150 C.
The duration of heating is determined by the melting point of the final product. The initial melting point of the mixture of polyphenylene oligomers is 50120 C. The operation of preheating carried out at a temperature of 80l50 C. ensures the obtaining of a product with a melting point of 140-230 C.
An important operation is that of blending the mixture of oligomers with fillers, which should be performed in such a manner as to ensure good homogenation of the composition and its dispersity of not over 0.1 mm. One of the ways to realize such a process is to combine the mixture of oligomers of polyphenylene with a filler in vibration mills having a high frequency and an amplitude up to 5 mm. In this case the blending is reasonable to be carried out in several steps, each lasting for some minutes, so that the mass being blended should not be become heated to such temperatures, at which its fusion is liable to occur.
A large variety of substances may be used as fillers, such as would improve the properties of the antifriction material, namely, its wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, heat conductivity, impact resistance, hardness, running-in, stability of friction coefficient at high and low temperatures, and workability.
For these requirements to be adequately met, the substances being introduced may be taken in various quantitative ratios, so as to ensure the operability of the material under particular conditions. Diversity and, quite often, even contradictory character of the requirements to be met, for example, by rolling and sliding bearing units, result in that the content of different fillers in the material may vary within a wide range, as can be seen from the following table:
l In composition (in weight percent).
The fillers can be subdivided into several groups, depending on the effect they realize in the resulting material.
After the operation of blending a pulverulent mass is obtained, into which fibres of graphitized fabric may also be incorporated.
The resulting moulding composition is processed on conventional equipment employed at plants for processing plastic materials. The temperature of processing may be selected to lie within 130450 C., but preferably within 280-370" C.
The pressure is selected in such a way as to ensure the obtaining of an adequately shaped monolithic article, and may be within a range of to 1000 kg. per sq. cm., though the pressure ranging from 300 to 600 kg. per sq. cm. is preferable.
The time of moulding at said temperature is from 1 t0 5 min. per mm. of the article thickness.
In accordance with the present method articles may be produced, which can be successfully used in units, subject to rolling or sliding friction, and be made as bushings, shells and cages of ball bearings. The articles thus produced may have either small dimensions, of 3 mm. in diameter, or with a diameter exceeding 50 mm. If required, the articles may be armoured.
The field of application of said articles is, first of all, such friction units which operate at high temperature reaching 350 C., or under other conditions where liquid and consistent lubricants cannot be employed.
Examples of such conditions are high vacuum, low temperatures, and atomic irradiation.
The present invention can also be realized in a different way.
Such other embodiment of the present invention consists in that said initial mixture of polyphenylene oligomers, which features the above-specified structure and a melting point of 50-140 C., is dissolved in ethanol (toluene, benzene, or dioxane being also applicable as solvents), in an amount sufficient for obtaining a 2050 percent solution. Pulverulent fillers are introduced into the solution,
selected from the following groups and taken in the following amounts (in weight percent):
antifriction fillers: molybdenum disulphide, -45; graphite, 5-82; boron nitride, 3-56; tungsten disulphide, -95; tungsten diselenide, 3-95; talc, 4-25; metallic fillers: copper powder, 4-30; nickel powder, 4-30; silver powder, 4-30; molybdenum powder, 4-30; friction-regulating additives: silica dust, 0.5-6; asbestos powder, 0.5-7.
The solution is then stirred till a homogeneous mass is obtained.
The resulting suspension is used to impregnate a fibrous filler or fabric, respectively: graphitized fabric or fibre in an amount of 10-50 percent, glass fabric or fibre in an amount of 7-25 percent, carbon fabric or fibre in an amount of 7-40 percent, asbestos fabric or fibre in an amount of 3-40 percent.
It is also possible to impregnate graphitized or carbon fabric with the solution of the mixture of oligmers without introducing a pulverulent filler thereinto.
After the impregnation, the fabric or mass is dried under a vacuum or in air at a temperature of 80-l50 C., till the tion of the proposed method of producing antifriction materials and the properties of the latter.
EXAMPLE 1 (A) A mixture of polyphenylene oligomers, obtained by the reaction of polycyclotrimerization which is described below in Item B, is a dark-coloured mass With a melting point of 50 C.
For producing an antifriction material, the mass is dried in a vacuum drier at a temperature of 120-130" C., till the melting point of the mixture of oligomers becomes as high as 200 C. The thus dried vitreous mass is ground down to particle size less than 0.5 mm., and then mixed with pulverulent fillers.
The operation of mixing or blending is performed on a vibration mill having an amplitude of oscillations of 5 mm. and a frequency of 3000 oscillations per min.
The blending is carried out in cycles of 1 min. duration. Thetotal time of blending is 3-5 min.
The quantities of the components being blended are given in the table hereinbelow.

der a pressure ensuring the obtaining of an adequately shaped article. The pressure is selected to be within a range from 7 to 1000 kg. per sq. cm., preferably from 25 to 700 kg. per sq. cm.
The time of moulding at the above-specified temperature is from 1 to 30 min. per mm. of the article thickness.
In accordance with the present method antifriction articles can be produced, which are noted for such specific features as high heat resistance and impact strength, so that such articles may be used to operate in the most demanding rolling and sliding friction units.
The present method makes it possible to manufacture component parts in the form of bushings, workpieces, rings, etc., which do not require subsequent finishing of their inside and outside diameters. If necessary, the articles may be treated on conventional metal working machines.
The field of application of the materials produced in compliance with our method comprises friction units, in which liquid or consistent lubricants cannot be used; these are such units which operate under conditions of high temperatures (+350" C.), low temperatures (-200" C.), exposed to irradiation, and subject to intensive vibrations.
For a better understanding of the present invention, given hereinbelow are examples, illustrating the realiza- The resulting moulding compound is a loose dark-coloured mass.
For producing articles, the moulding compound is poured into cold compression moulds of a closed type, and heated to a temperature of C., at which temperature the compression mould is closed and a pressure of 400-700 kg. per sq. cm. is built up therein.
Then the temperature is raised to 350 C., the moulding compound is kept under these conditions over a period of 0.5 min. per mm. of the article thickness, and then the mould is cooled.
The article thus produced has a heat resistance up to 320-350 C., friction coeflicient of 0.08-0.16, and a high wear resistance up to a temperature of 300 C.
The articles may be successfully used as bushings for sliding bearings and cages for rolling bearings. It is possible to produce armoured articles and workpieces, from which, after treating on metal working machines, articles will be made finished to size.
A modification of the present example is a method when fibrous fillers are introduced into the composition of the material.
According to this last-mentioned method, into the resulting moulding compound which is a dark-colored powder, a fibre is introduced in the form of staple, in a Z- shaped type mixer.
The composition thus obtained is charged into compression moulds and then processed by following the above-described procedure.
(B) Method of producing the mixture of polyphenylene oligomers used in Example 1 and in Table 4.
A three-necked fiask equipped with a stirrer and a reflux condenser is charged with 12.6 g. (0.1 mole) of diethynylbenzene, 30.6 g. (0.3 mole) of phenylacetylene, 1.6 g. (0.002 mole) cobaltic trialkylphosphate complex [(C H O) P],CoBr, and a mixture of 75 ml. of dioxane and 25 ml. of absolute alcohol. The reaction is carried out in a stream of nitrogen at a temperature of 75-78 C. during 4 hours. The colour of the reaction mass changes from bright yellow to dark brown. At the end of the reaction a small amount of a precipitate may be observed. Then the solvent is distilled off from the reaction mass, and the reaction mass is washed, successively, with water, hydrochloric acid, boiling hydrochloric acid, water, a 0.5 N solution of alkali, and with water. The molecular weight of the resulting mixture of polyphenylene oligomers, as determined ebullioscopically in a solution of chloroform, is 1000-7000. The melting point is 50- -80 C.
By following the same method, and under similar conditions, a mixture of polyphenylene oligomers can be prepared from: phenylacetylene (3 moles) and diethynyldiphenylethane (l mole); phenylacetylene (2 moles) and diethynylbenzene (1 mole); diethynylbenzene (1 mole) and chlorophenylacetylene (1 mole); Phenylacetylene (2 moles) and diethynyldiphenylbutane (1 mole).
The obtained oligomers of polyphenylene may be used for producing antifriction materials as described in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 2 Mixtures of polyphenylene oligomers, whose preparation is set forth in Example 1, are used for producing antifriction materials by following the impregnation techniques.
For this purpose a solution of a mixture of oligomers in an alcohol is prepared at a temperature of up to 60 C.
Pulveriilent fillers may be added into the solution, till a homogeneous suspension is obtained, with which a fibrous filler or fabric is then impregnated. However, a fibrous filler, in case it possesses antifriction properties, may be impregnated directly with a solution of polyphenylene, without introducing a pulverulent filler thereinto.
The amounts of a pulverulent filler to be introduced and possible ratios between the components of the material will be best understood by considering the following table.
10 is built up therein with a view towards obtaining an article of adjustable density. The temperature is raised up to 350 C., at which the article is kept over a period of 3 min. per mm. of the article thickness, whereupon the article is cooled.
The resulting articles are workpieces which can be finished to a required size on metal working machines. The articles are intended to be used in friction units which operate without lubrication, and feature friction coefficient of 0.1-0.18 and heat resistance up to 370 C.
In the above-cited examples preferable compositions of compound materials have been specified. It should be clear, however, that modifications and changes may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, as those skilled in the art will easily understand.

Apple iPhone 5S could be powered by a 31 percent faster 64-bit A7 chip
The rumor mills continue to churn out news about the forthcoming iPhone 5S ahead of its expected launch at an event next month. This time, the rumor is regarding the processor inside the device, which is said to be 31 percent faster than the chip in the iPhone 5.
Sources are telling me the new iPhone's A7 chip is running at about 31% faster than A6. I'm hearing it's very fast.
— Clayton Morris (@ClaytonMorris) August 25, 2013
This piece of information comes from a tweet by popular television anchor Clayton Morris, who claims to have been informed that the forthcoming iPhone will be powered by a tweaked A7 chip. This, as we mentioned above, is said to be 31 percent faster than its predecessor. According to a report on 9to5Mac, Apple is said to have been testing a 64-bit version of the A7 chipset, which is the reason for the bump in performance. The difference is that the 64-bit version is able to handle more complex animations (expected on iOS 7) and offers better performance per watt.
But the fact that it is being tested doesn't really mean that it going to be offered on the final device. According to the report, it is difficult to see this 64-bit A7 processor being commercially available this year and is more likely to arrive next year with the A8 processors.

Roadside America Maps Out Attractions in Every State
Roadside attractions are a fun way to break up a long drive, and chances are, there's something to see along any route you take. This map from Roadside America helps plan your stops.

Driving comes with its share of risk and danger, and some cities are more dangerous than others. NerdWallet looked at data in the 200 most populous cities in the U.S. to rank the safest and most dangerous for drivers.
There's something to be said for meticulously planning a vacation escape, picking the right place, the right time, and then going for it. There's something else for just getting out of dodge after a long, awful week. Here are some tricks to make the latter as luxurious as possible.
You probably already know that tire pressure is important when it comes to safe driving, but it can also cost you money if you don't keep an eye on it. This video lays out the tire pressure essentials you need to know.
Android: Before you get a Learner's Permit or their Driver's License, there's a written exam that to contend with. Usually they're not difficult, but DMV Genie will quiz you and help you study for that test. Plus, it can help regardless of your state, and if you want a CDL or motorcycle license.
Depending on when you leave the house, traffic can vary from manageable to an absolute nightmare. When2Leave helps you leave at the best time by sending you an alert when traffic dies down.
If you're going to drive, you have to follow the rules, and most of us are familiar with the basics. However, there are a handful of lesser-known road rules. Maybe you learned them in driver's ed, but forgot them, because they're not as important as, say, stopping at a red light. Still, they'll help you navigate…
You shouldn't keep your Uber driver waiting; it's just impolite. On top of common courtesy, though, it will also cost you if you're late. The company has just decreased its five minute grace period to two minutes.
Commuting to and from work is a pain even in the best cases, and unchecked it can lead to burnout—but there are a few things you can do to make it a little easier on you. Moving closer to work, working from home, sure those are options, but if you can't do any of those, this graphic has a few stress-busting tips.
Android: Google Maps is one of Android's most useful apps, but it's always lacked a key feature: speed limits. Velociraptor fixes this by adding a floating speed limit widget to Maps.
Android: Previously mentioned hands-free driving app Drivemode has a lot of great features, but it just added a great one—the ability to respond to messages in almost any texting app with your voice. SMS is included, but so is Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, and more.
Between commuting, running errands, and road trips for holidays or vacation, you spend quite a bit of time sitting in your car. Make sure your seat properly supports you with this list of questions.
You might think you can dodge every speeding ticket with your dashboard radar detector, but you'd be surprised. Here's how radar detectors actually work and why you're probably better off just going the speed limit.
Turns out, despite the noise, it's perfectly fine to yank up on your handbrake without pushing the button. Here's why.
You've been told over and over that texting while driving is incredibly dangerous (not to mention illegal), but this fun and simple browser game shows you exactly why.
Today, Uber launched their version of a family ride sharing plan, which allows you to share your account and payment options with nine other people. The best part is those nine people can be family, friends, or coworkers.
Potholes are in roads all over the place, especially right after winter. Not only are they annoying, they can damage your car if you aren't careful.
Driving an automatic is more straightforward than driving a manual, but there are still ways to mess up parts of your vehicle. Here are five things you shouldn't do if you drive a car with an automatic transmission.
Some car safety recalls make headlines, but others slip under the radar, which means there's a good chance some drivers will miss or ignore it. A recent study from CarFax found that about 18% of cars on the road are operating with an open safety recall. Check to see if yours is one of them.
You wouldn't really think there could be that much difference between turn-by-turn navigation apps, but even just a glance at Google Maps and Waze shows how different they are. They might both be owned by the same company, but they work completely differently.

I first learned of my 'GIFTS' as they are called at a young age...around 5...At age 8 was when I first remember looking into the 'Ghostly Plane' seeing my father...it was around day break...I sat up in bed and could see into the kitchen...I heard my father talking, standing at the counter top...I told my grandmother about it...a few hours later she then saw a vision of him in front of standing her...within the same our the State Police from another state called her, telling her that my father was found dead in a lake...Things like this went on for several years...The one vision that bothered me the most was of my son...I was standing at his bed room door looking in at him as he played...he was 4...As I stood there I then saw a white casket...it was sitting in the middle of his room...in the vision he turned toward me and said..."I am going home soon"...This was in October...On November 7 he died...This was 27 years ago...Over the years after his death...I have seen my other people give warning shortly before their death...I have also 'FELT' when something bad was going to happen...Such as earthquakes...plane crashes...auto accidents of people/family I know...Even the death of my husband in 09...I have had what I now know as OBE most of my life...I always thought it was a dream when I was very young...I have tuned into knowing when a close friend/family member was going to call or come by for a visit...I can also see sounds at times...certain sounds have different colors...I do not like going to busy places such as the Mall...I pick up on other's feelings/thoughts...I don't enjoy reading someone's book as I call it...I have dreams about a lot of things before they happen...People can say thses things do not happen...it's not real...but I MUST say they are wrong...This is part of my EVERYDAY life..
Thanks very much for sharing. . . your story is why I believe there is a paranormal reality. . . .which may be the true reality . . . the longer I live the more stories like yours I hear. . . while I only have glimpses of things . . . it reenforces my intuition that things exist I cannot explain . .

Jack Thompson Faces Permanent Disbarment
Jack Thompson, the serial litigator and would-be censor whose crusade against violent video games, porn, rap music and other things he considers unseemly, has a legal career that is suddenly teetering on the brink of legal-eagle oblivion. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Dava Tunis, the referee in Thompson's disbarment proceedings, rejected the Florida Bar's recommendation of disbarment for ten years.
How about, she suggested, permanent, non-negotiable disbarment? And a fine amounting to more than $43,000?
Tunis reached her recommendation after reviewing thousands of pages of complaints, as well as things like Thompson's appearance on 60 Minutes with reporter Ed Bradley.
Bradley was reporting on a kid in Alabama who had shot a couple of cops, and Thompson said he could prove that the video game Grand Theft Auto made him do it.

Tunis noted that Thompson continued to wear his 15 minutes of 60 Minutes fame like "a veritable badge of honor." Then he sent a fax to the judge in the case, attempting to re-argue matters that had already been heard in court. Lawyers aren't supposed to communicate informally with judges on matters before them.
In the end, Thompson's fate will be decided by the Florida Supreme Court, with Tunis' 165-page compendium for guidance.

Lidocaine for Cluster Headaches - Topic Overview
Lidocaine is an anesthetic medicine that is most often used to numb an area of the body before a minor surgical procedure. Sometimes a 4% lidocaine solution is used as nose drops to stop cluster headaches.
Lidocaine has a small effect on pain for most people with cluster headaches. But it rarely stops the pain completely.1

What Type of Migraine Do I Have?
Maybe you've seen flashes of light cross your field of vision and you've known a migraine was on its way. Or you've headed for bed, waiting for one to ease up. Almost 30 million Americans get them. They usually feel like pulsing or throbbing on one side of the head. They can also cause nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. And they can be much more severe than other headaches. But migraines aren't all alike. Yours might be very different than someone else's. With or Without...

The medicine is placed into the nostril on the same side as the headache. It can be repeated 15 minutes later, if needed. Side effects can include a burning sensation or numbness in the nose.
This medicine is available only by prescription. This medicine may be used to treat cluster headaches when other medicines have not helped.

Here are the top tech news and stories of the day.
- Square Now Processing $10B In Annual Payments; Added $2B Over Past Month (And That Doesn't Include Starbucks) - Square is quickly becoming the revenue operator of choice to small businesses. Their simple pricing has small business abandoning direct relationships with credit card vendors (and taking business more easily on the road). Square also has a new relationship with Square, to accept Square Wallet, via TechCrunch, more here.
- Google Is Finally Installing Gigabit Fiber In Kansas City Homes - Google is starting to roll out their "fiberhoods," in Kansas City, and they are doing it completely differently than any other service provider. According to Google: "We've found that the difference between dreading an installation and feeling like you had a good experience comes down to us caring about the details that matter the most to you. For example, we'll show up when we're supposed to-at the start of your appointment, not somewhere in the middle. We'll clean up any mess; each installer carries a vacuum cleaner. And we'll answer your questions and teach you about your devices-don't be afraid to ask us questions, or to ask us to explain something again in simpler language." I can't wait for Google to roll out fiber in my town. Via Gizmodo, more here.
- Here's how it looks when big data goes mobile-first - Zoomdata has received $1.1M in seed funding to offer business intelligence to those interested in selling to mobile. Zoomdata is attempting to paint a picture of all the data companies use. Via GigaOM, more here.
- Google Intros New Acer C7 Chromebook, Priced at an Extremely Low $199 - The latest in the Chromebook line is from Acer, and powered by an Intel chipset. Unlike the Samsung Chromebook, which is powered by an ARM processor, it has shorter battery life and is larger and heavier. However, it will most likely be a bit faster than the ARM alternative. Via Droid-Life, more here.
- Making Sense of Big Social Data - Robert J Boeri examines how to make sense of Big Social Data in eContentMag. More here.
- Dropbox Chooser lets web apps attach files from the cloud - Dropbox has made a connection with Facebook Groups, and are now rolling out an API to allow developers to integrate Dropbox for sharing files. If you further update that file to your Dropbox, it will be updated everywhere it's be shared. Via Engadget, more here.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts.
