Luis Gonzales, Killed by Train in 1985, Positively ID'd by Fingerprints This Year by DPS; Next of Kin Sought
Twenty-seven years ago, a 40-year-old named Luis Gonzales, was struck and killed by a train near Central Avenue.
The man had no identification except for a workplace time card that contained his name and the wrong date of birth, which pegged him as a 53-year-old.
Another Luis Gonzales with that birthdate was in police files, but the dead man's fingerprints didn't match. They weren't the same person. The victim never was positively identified.
Until now.

Gonzales never was forgotten, and detectives from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Phoenix Police Department, and Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner finally figured out this year who he was.
Now, they're hoping to find his next of kin to give them closure.
Gonzales had been in some trouble with the law before, and his fingerprints also were in police records.
Phoenix police took a look at the case last year as part of their ongoing efforts, with other agencies, to solve old cases using new methods and technology. Those efforts have paid off in recent years with numerous crime suspects finally being brought to justice. Police announced one such case last week, in which Steven Michael Humelhans, 41, of Illinois was arrested for killing of a 25-year-old Phoenix Domino's Pizza employee in 1988.
New Times covered another of Phoenix's solved cold cases in 2010, which resulted in the arrest of Richard Rodgers. The article explored the needs of the victim's family for closure and the challenges of prosecuting and jailing an 81-year-old suspect with medical issues.
The Gonzales case shows that cold-case effort isn't just about busting fugitives.
Police looking into the old files pulled several sets of fingerprints on file from other men with the same name who had been arrested back then for various crimes. Jennifer Valdez, a DPS fingerprint technician, found one match that looked promising, but authorities couldn't be sure it was the Gonzales.
So, in February 2011, the train victim's body was exhumed. DNA samples and dental records were obtained and compared with the man whose fingerprints resembled those on file. A positive match was made.
Family members who wonder why they haven't heard from Gonzales since 1985 may not be thrilled to find out he's long been deceased. But it seems safe to assume they'll be relieved just to know what happened.

Wonderful Lake quite and spacious. Friendly accommodating owner. Your comfort and happiness is my first priority .
Boat rental next dock over. Canoes kayaks motor boats.
swimming and many accesses to Lake from lower areas with no steps for the elderly or disabled.
The property is nice but it was very dusty and was not fully cleaned when we arrived after 4 pm on Friday. Every fan had a thick layer of dust/dirt on them. The laundry room had the previous renters dirty linens and towels on the floor. Damp towels were left in the dryer. I could go on. I have rented twice through VRBO. Both times, the rental was very clean. I expected no less with this rental. The owner did respond quickly to our concerns and sent the cleaning company back. They minimally cleaned a second time but still left a lot of our concerns unresolved. Lastly, I felt like I had to harass the owner for two months in order to get our security deposit back. This rental is in a great location, but if you like cleanliness, this is not the place for you. Also, be aware, there are about 50 steps to get down to and then up from the lake and it's a rocky bottom to enter lake.
All about the game is a wonderful house to Stay at. Correspondence with the owner Danise was very professional. Upon arrival we were welcome to the wonderful home with fresh flowers in the kitchen.
My family and I truly enjoyed the house. It Is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed plus some additional extras. The setting on the lake is absolutely beautiful. My kids swim every single day. And the ability to rent kayaks was truly a benefit. We enjoyed how close the house was to the ballpark. We look forward to coming back just to enjoy the house as well.

Labor Studies Minor - Summer & Autumn 2017
A listing of over twenty-five courses in Labor Studies offered at the University of Washington
Now available: Full List of Summer & Autumn 2017 Course Offerings
Last Updated: 5/8/17
In Summer and Autumn 2017 twenty-five Labor Studies-related courses will be offered at the UW Seattle and Tacoma campuses.
All of these courses count towards a Minor in Labor Studies, which brings together a series of courses on labor in core social-science departments, including American Ethnic Studies, Economics, Geography, History, International Studies, Law, Societies, and Justice, Political Science, and Sociology.
The Minor provides students an interdisciplinary program of study focusing on the importance of labor to the economic, social, political, and cultural evolution of modern societies.
Statements on National Politics and Climate at UW
In light of the current U.S. political atmosphere and on-going attacks on marginalized people, the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies endorses the following statements.
Statement in Support of Undocumented Students
The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies strives to work with and for undocumented students and workers, and any and all students and workers who come from historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.
Achieving this goal is an ongoing struggle. We welcome suggestions, critical feedback, and support on how we may continue to collectively address these challenges. » Contact Us
An Open Letter to the UW Community from Concerned Political Scientists
A group of faculty and graduate students in the Department of Political Science recently produced an Open Letter expressing concern about recent developments in national politics and their impact on the University of Washington and members of the department. Excerpts:
"...We are alarmed that the new national administration and its allies at many levels have displayed a remarkable lack of commitment to and understanding of the basic values and institutional arrangements that form the foundations of the American polity. In particular, we identify four key norms now in jeopardy: democracy, including fair elections; the rule of law, including constitutional checks and balances; respect for rights of all persons; and commitments to fundamental norms of fairness and justice. In a stunning departure from past presidents of both parties, the new president rarely affirms these foundational norms; his �America First� inaugural speech did not mention any of these core values or institutional norms."
"...The manifestations and impacts of these radical shifts at the national level are inciting and licensing corrosive, harmful relations at every level of our society, including on the University of Washington campus. Incidents of hateful speech, racist invective, intolerance for religious minorities, bullying, and physical violence have become more common in recent months. The perpetrators of this violence borrow from national � including white nationalist� discourse designed to strike fear in other students, making the most vulnerable among us feel more unwelcome, unequal, and unsafe. Some undergraduates, graduate students, and even faculty in our own department have been threatened for speaking out. The result is that, just as political civility and respectful dialogue necessary to democracy have deteriorated, so too have our cultural commitments to comity been seriously ravaged. » Read the Full Statement

New Report Analyzes Economic Impact of
$15 Minimum Wage for Portland Airport Workers
JUNE 1, 2016 - On Wednesday, researchers from the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington released Poverty Doesn't Fly, a new report that details the negative economic impacts of outsourcing and low-wage jobs at Portland International Airport.
The report finds that the share of outsourced air transportation workers at PDX increased from 19% to 28% from 2001 to 2014. This trend of outsourcing has led to few workers serving more passengers while earning lower wages.
A wage analysis in the report concludes that by ensuring that all airport workers are paid at least $15 an hour, the Port of Portland could create 81 jobs, add $7,197,000 to the regional economy, and eliminate over $3 million in annual taxpayer subsidies.
"Any serious discussion of the airport's impact on economic development needs to include wages for contracted workers," said Michael McCann, Director of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington. "While it may get top marks for customer satisfaction, PDX has fallen behind other major West Coast airports when it comes to wages and job quality for airport workers."
The report's author, Garrett Strain, MPA, is a Graduate Associate of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington, and recently completed studies at the University�s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance. He served as a key researcher on the Bridges Center's SeaTac/Seattle Minimum Wage Project.
2016 Staff Update at the Bridges Center
Andrew Hedden Named Associate Director
Effective March 2016, Andrew Hedden has been named Associate Director of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies. Hedden previously served as the Center's Program Coordinator beginning in 2008. Growing responsibilities for Andrew made a new title necessary to better describe his position.
A graduate student in History at the University of Washington, Andrew recently earned his Masters Degree. Moving forward in 2016, he is excited to work on expanding the Bridges Center�s various undergraduate programs, including curriculum offerings, scholarships, internship connections, and the Labor Studies Minor.
Welcoming Filiz Kahraman as the new Graduate Student Assistant
This year we welcome a new graduate staff assistant to the Bridges Center, Filiz Kahraman. Filiz is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science. Her research and activist work centers on labor, human rights, and the advancement of social justice.
She has published work regarding unions, youth, and workplace safety in Europe in both academic journals and newspapers. Her dissertation research examines how labor activists user human rights law against the challenge of shrinking welfare states in Europe. She herself is active on these issues in her native land, Turkey, as a member of the Istanbul Health and Safety Labor Watch, a network dedicated to reporting and taking action on workplace safety in Turkey. Also, on campus, she takes an active role in Academic Workers for a Democratic University, a caucus fighting for equitable public education and workers� rights.
Announcing the Friends of the Labor Archives
A new organization dedicated to saving and celebrating the heritage of working people!
The Bridges Center is proud to announce the establishment of the Friends of the Labor Archives, a new organization dedicated to advancing the preservation and promotion of labor history through financial support and community outreach for the Labor Archives at the University of Washington.
Since 2010, the Labor Archives has worked to preserve and make accessible the records of working people and their unions, documenting the local, national, and international dimensions of the labor movement.
Members of the Friends will receive regular updates on the activities of the Labor Archives. They also receive special invitations to events highlighting the labor history education, outreach and research made possible by the Archives.
The Labor Archives of Washington is been made possible by the grassroots contributions of the labor movement. In that spirit, the financial support pledged by the Friends is an essential part of continuing the work of the Labor Archives into the future.

Welcome Michael McCann, New Director of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies
Please join us in welcoming Michael McCann as the new Director of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies, effective July 1, 2014.
McCann has served numerous terms on the Bridges Center's Standing Committee and has been active in programming and other Center activities for many years. As a Professor of Political Science, he holds the title of Gordon Hirabayashi Chair for the Advancement of Citizenship, and is a nationally known scholar, and very experienced university administrator.
McCann's 1994 study of the pay equity movement, Rights at Work, is a path breaking study of legal mobilization around workplace issues that highlights the important role of labor unions in sustaining litigation and social movement campaigns. The book won numerous awards, as did his more recent book on media and public perceptions of tort litigation, Distorting the Law. He is currently working with Bridges Chair George Lovell on a book on workplace and legal activism by Filipino cannery workers in the Pacific Northwest.
Michael's administrative experience includes being chair of the political science department, the founder and long-time director of the Law, Societies and Justice program, and his current service on the elected College Council that oversees the College of Arts and Sciences.
With Michael becoming Director of the Center, George Lovell steps down from his administrative leadership role in the Bridges Center. In his time overseeing the Center, Lovell's achievements included marking the Bridges Chair's 20th Anniversary in 2012 and hosting this year's timely Working Democracy conference. We thank George for his hard work, and wish him the best in his new role as Chair of the Department of Political Science.

Qatar: Kahramaa awards 8.5 million euro contracts
Telvent GIT S.A., the Global RealTime IT Company, announced that it was awarded a contract by "Kahramaa", the Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation, to implement a water management system for the supply of drinking water in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar. The contract is valued at approximately 8.5 million euros.
Manuel Sánchez Ortega, Telvent chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "With this significant new contract, Telvent reinforces its presence in the Middle East. Telvent has already implemented several projects in the region in our core business segments, including the water supply system for the city of Amman (Jordan), management of the water distribution network in Ankara (Turkey), management of the gas pipeline system that joins Turkey and Iraq, and a gas pipeline control system for GASCO in Cairo (Egypt)."
The Doha project, covering an area of approximately 11,437 square kilometers and supplying water to a population of almost 750,000, is part of a technology innovation program that is currently being developed in Qatar. Telvent will design and install a turnkey supervisory, control and data acquisition system as well as the related communications infrastructure for the drinkable water supply network in the city of Doha and surrounding area. The system will feature a variety of value-added applications such as leakage management, pressure control and water quality software, and will also include the implementation of a Control Center facility at West Bay Lagoon, located in Doha.
The system design will utilize Telvent's industry-leading technology platform for real-time information management - OASyS DNA - which has been developed using the company's extensive R&D program. This technology platform is an evolution of the system software which already manages water and wastewater systems in numerous other Telvent installations, including the cities of Columbus (U.S.), Lima (Peru), Seville (Spain), Ankara (Turkey), and Amman (Jordan).

From our friends at Working Mother!
Giuliana Rancic is one happy new mom and wife! The E! News co-anchor opened up about how being a parent has changed her "for the better" and how she is truly loving every moment of motherhood.
"Motherhood is everything I've dreamed of and more," Giuliana shared. "My husband and I can't get enough of Duke. Being parents has changed both of us for the better and has made our love for each other stronger than ever."
She also revealed that she's had a few new-mom surprises!
"Well, there were a few messy diaper changes I wasn't expecting! But I wasn't expecting to handle everything that parenthood offers so smoothly," the TV personality revealed. "Even though everyone says it—and you go into parenthood thinking you know it—I wish someone had really told me, 'Enjoy sleeping while you still can!' It was a big change, but it tapped into this maternal side of me that I've never seen. I am truly loving every moment!"

This is just the kind of amusingly off-center comedy now missing from NBC's lineup, one of those rare, delightful meshings of concept, cast and execution, with producer Tom Cherones providing inspired direction. Nothing is forced. [31 May 1990, p.F9]Los Angeles Times Full Review
The weakest aspect of Seinfeld is a wacky next-door neighbor played by Michael Richards. Richards is doing little more than an impersonation of Christopher Lloyd's Jim on Taxi, and he ought to cut it out.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Funny. The characters, even the hip comic star, become likable very quickly. Despite yourself, you'll be laughing before the first commercial. [31 May 1990, p.C11]Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
It works. It's different. It's fun, offbeat and charming. [31 May 1990, p.5]Houston Chronicle Full Review
One weak link is fellow stand-up comic Michael Richards as Seinfeld's wacky neighbor. He isn't wacky or neighborly enough; it just doesn't work. But he's in the minority where "Seinfeld" is concerned. You may not convulsively guffaw, but you're bound to convincingly smile. Here's one that worked out just right.Washington Post Full Review
Seinfeld's gentle humor is easy to take. Unlike other current comedians, such as Andrew Dice Clay or Sam Kinison, Seinfeld isn't angry: He's more awed by the wonder of it all. [13 May 1990, p.13]Newsday Full Review
The writing - so thankfully different from the hammering rhythm of most sitcoms - comes from Seinfeld and Larry David ("Saturday Night Live"). [31 May 1990, p.C5]Seattle Post-Intelligencer Full Review
There are some who might be jarred by the format, seamless as it is. And still others might be compelled to argue that with this format one gets neither a sitcom nor a comedy show, but insufficient portions of each...But there is an intriguing honesty to this method, and, in its fashion, it shows how life's tiny travail can work its way into comedy club laughs. [31 May 1990, p.C4]Chicago Tribune Full Review
Lacking much in the way of attitude, the show seems obsolete and irrelevant. What it boils down to is that Seinfeld, likable as he may be, is a mayonnaise clown in a world that requires a little horseradish. [31 May 1990, p.3D]USA Today Full Review

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/10/2012 (1779 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A great grey tide of Manitobans will turn 80 in the next couple of decades, spurring the need for as many as 6,300 additional personal care home or supportive housing beds.
In Winnipeg, the increased demand will not be great until around 2021, when the first of the baby boomer generation hits 75. But in other parts of the province -- notably the north, Interlake and parts of eastern Manitoba -- the need for more personal care home spaces is being felt already, according to a report published Thursday by the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy.
The study found the proportion of Manitobans using personal care homes has shrunk since 1985. That may be due to alternatives such as assisted living or home care -- and perhaps a healthier population. But with a large wave of boomers entering their 70s and 80s in the years ahead, there will be greater demands on the system.
Dan Chateau, the study's lead author, said an additional 5,100 to 6,300 personal care home or supportive housing beds will be needed in Manitoba by 2036. There are close to 9,700 personal care home beds in the province at the moment.
Chateau said the extra capacity won't be needed all at once, nor will demand be spread evenly throughout the province. Between now and 2021, there will be only a moderate need for more spaces in Winnipeg. But between 2021 and 2031, demands will increase substantially in the city and most other parts of Manitoba.
Winnipeg health officials have some time to plan for the coming wave, but they cannot afford to ignore it, Chateau said.
"If we don't address the needs, then it will be a serious issue," he said.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald said the report will be useful in helping the province plan for long-term care needs.
But she disagrees with its conclusion there won't be a significant increase in demand for personal care home beds in Winnipeg in the next decade.
"We have other data that says that we need to be building our capacity almost immediately in Winnipeg," she said Thursday.
One factor is the significant number of current personal care home residents -- more than 200 -- who are well under 65 and could live for decades. These are people who have brain injuries or chronic, debilitating illnesses, she said.
Real Cloutier, chief operating officer of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, estimates Winnipeg will likely need 400 new care home or assisted living beds in the next decade alone.
"Clearly, we've got a big population demand that's coming and we need to be ready for it," he said.
Another 160 personal care home beds will open at Holy Family Home, on Aberdeen Avenue near Main Street, by 2017, he said, while another 24 supportive housing units are set to come on stream in the next year.
The latter are designed for residents who are mobile, but need help with medications and at meal time.
Chateau said his study did not place a price tag on the required personal care home units.
"That would be a whole other project," he said.
Apart from demographics, the study looked at other factors that influence the demand for long-term care.
For instance, people who are married and have children are less likely to be placed in care.
A married woman is 23 per cent less likely to enter a personal care home while a married man is 40 per cent less likely, the study showed.
Having a single child reduces the likelihood of entering long-term care by 27 per cent while two or three children reduces the chances by 34 and 38 per cent respectively.
Booming numbers
29,275 -- the number of Manitobans who were 85 and older in 2011.
30,555 -- the number of Manitobans expected to be 85 and older by 2021.
46,810 -- the number of Manitobans expected to be 85 and older by 2036.
9,666 -- the current number of personal care home (PCH) beds in Manitoba.
5,400 -- the number of PCH beds in Winnipeg.
1,616 -- the average number of Winnipeggers admitted to a PCH each year between 2004 and 2009.
97.9% -- occupancy rate of PCH beds in Manitoba in 2009-2010 (98.8% in Winnipeg).
5,100 to 6,300 -- number of additional spaces (PCH, supportive housing, expanded home care) that will be needed in Manitoba by 2036.
2021 -- the year in which demands for long-term care spaces is expected to begin rising significantly.

1. Runkeeper
This isn't one of the most popular running apps for nothing. Runkeeper is a full GPS tracking tool that works with everything from a quick walk to a marathon, and let you use all kinds of accessories from Polar heart rate monitors to Fitbit trackers and Android Wear watches.
Your smartwatch acts as a small screen version of the phone view, providing a few basic run stats. It's one of the few apps to support GPS Android Wear watches like the Sony SmartWatch 3 too.
It's not all-business either, with Google Music integration letting you listen to some tunes as you run.
It's just brilliant. What's different between the free and paid versions? Upgrade and you can compare performance with your friends and track your performance trends over longer periods.
2. Runtastic
Runkeeper's arch rival is Runtastic. They do many of the same things: you really can't go wrong with either. Runtastic also supports Android Wear.
Our top tip is to try out both and see which interface you prefer. However, there are a few differences we can point out.
Runtastic currently has slightly better integration of music services like Spotify. It feels a bit more like streaming apps like this are running within the interface here than with Runkeeper. A small point? Maybe, but being able to control music easily while running is pretty important.
It's worth upgrading to the Pro version of Runtastic if you're going to use it regularly. It adds bags of extra features, including voice coach, interval training and a few new activities, like skating.
3. SportsTracker
Find Runkeeper and Runtastic that bit too involved? Check out SportsTracker. Its interface is a bit less ambitious, there are fewer features, but as a result it's less easy to get lost if you just want to get up and running (no pun intended) as quick as possible.
There's plenty more on offer than just one-off tracking too. SportsTracker keeps a history of your runs, heart rate monitoring and offers voice prompts without asking for you to pay for the privilege.
Using a nice and simple interface means the app looks kinda similar whether you're using an Android Wear watch or a phone too. Real running obsessives may be better off with one of the better-known apps, but if you want to keep it relatively simple, check out SportsTracker.
4. Zombies, Run!
Want to have fun rather than brag on Facebook about beating your 10k PB? Download Zombies, Run! now.
Part game, part motivational audiobook, part run tracker, it turns each of your runs into a mission that unfolds as you move your feet. Everything becomes part of a story you listen through your earphones.
It's the perfect solution for people who find running a bit boring, and is also a way to forget how much your lungs feel like they're going to explode if you're on a couch-to-5K plan. New missions are released every week too.
Zombies, Run! comes in two flavours, a standard one (£2.99) and the limited 5K training one (£1.59). Android Wear support is isn't here yet, but the dev is considering it. Fingers crossed…
5. Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro (£1.99)
Endomondo Sports Tracker is one of the most popular fitness apps around and with good reason. Whether you're running, walking or cycling Endomondo will keep track of your distance and time, it's got a thriving social network, and it now supports Android Wear, to boot.
An audio coach will keep you motivated and you can even compete against times set by friends and strangers. Route maps will help you find new places to workout and for activities that aren't covered, such as weight training, there's an option to manually enter workouts into the app, enabling you to keep track of all your exercise.
It's not quite our favourite run tracker, but it is excellent, and its versatility is second to none.

After running for a Wayne County Athletic League record 1,900 yards a year ago, Smithville's Kyle Kauffman was a hands-down choice to be named All-Ohio.
While Kauffman's numbers don't stick out this season as being All-Ohio-like, he was still an intricate part to the Smithies' 10-0 regular season and will need more games like his 21-carry, 139-yard performance in Saturday's 21-20 win over Newton Falls if Smithville is going to advance deep into the Div. V playoffs.
It was Kauffman who carried the team in the first half of the playoff game to a 21-0 lead that the Smithies were able to hold on to. A big chunk of those yards (114) came in the first 24 minutes along with two touchdowns.
"The coaches said during the week that this was going to be the week I had to pick it up," Kauffman said. "I didn't expect I was going to have this many yards."
Smithville coach Keith Schrock said the game plan wasn't originally built around Kauffman, but after the senior broke off runs of 20 and 17 yards to start the Smithies' first offensive possession, Schrock knew who the ball had to go to.
"When he's running like that you don't want anyone else to handle the ball," Schrock said. "That's vintage Kyle Kauffman there, going through holes in a hurry, breaking tackles. That's why he had about 2,000 yards rushing (last year). That looked like Kyle Kauffman."
If this year's Kauffman hasn't looked like last year's version, its not because he has regressed as a player. Instead, it's mostly due to the Smithies opening things up on offense this year and going with a more balanced attack rather than a one-man show.
Quarterback Andy Foster has thrown for 649 yards, while Kauffman's fellow running back, Eric Beichler, has been used on numerous running plays grinding out 739 yards. Kauffman, meanwhile, still leads the Smithies in rushing yardage through Saturday's game with 816.
"He (Kauffman) hasn't had maybe the year that he wanted to have," Schrock said, "but I think our whole team overall is better off with a balanced attack."
Kauffman was unable to match his first-half numbers in the second half Saturday, but that was mostly due to defensive adjustments the Tigers made at intermission.
"We did a couple minor things on defense," Newton Falls coach Marc Bjelac said. "We shifted some people, slanting, moving our front a little bit, creating some penetration. They were flat-out beating us on the front line (in the first half)."
Although Newton Falls was able to slow Kauffman down in the second half, the damage he inflicted on the Tigers over the first two quarters was enough to guide his team to victory.
He refused to take full credit for his strong running performance, however.
"It's the (offensive) line," he said. "The line did an awesome job tonight. I don't get those yards without them."
- - -
He plays defense, too: Adding to the strong offensive output Kauffman put up was his performance on defense out of the inside linebacker position. Kauffman had a fumble recovery and a key interception in the closing minutes of the game.
We don't get all the credit: While Kauffman credited his offensive line for giving him holes to run through, senior offensive tackle Seth Hostetler said it was still up to the running back to find the openings.
"He ran awesome tonight," Hostetler said. "When we needed him, he plowed it through the holes."
Hostetler did say the line played better than it had all year in the first half of the playoff matchup.
Super fans: Many Smithville fans braved the below-freezing temperatures Saturday night to pack the stands. However, four Smithville juniors took that bravery to another level.
Erik Drabenstott, Russell Alkime, Chris Kree and Steve Franks cheered on their team bare-chested with painted letters spelling out skin, each wearing a letter.
"It's school spirit all the way," Drabenstott said. "We're the No. 1 fans."

Watch the First 18 Minutes of ABC's FLASH FORWARD
Okay, so it's really the first 17 minutes and 54 seconds of ABC's new drama Flash Forward, but I rounded up. So the next time you see me, I owe you six seconds.
ABC just put up nearly half of the first episode, and it opens up much like the chaos of Lost's opener. This will be the television methadone for us fans, after Lost ends.
So here's the official show summary:
What if you saw your future 6 months from now? A glimpse of where you will be and who you will be with. Would you look forward to what was coming...or would you try to stop it?
A mysterious global event causes everyone to black out simultaneously for two minutes and seventeen seconds, and each person sees a glimpse of their lives six months from now. When they wake up, everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen.
Los Angeles FBI Agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) is desperate to uncover why this happened and who or what is behind it. And he's not the only one. Before long, everyone starts asking, "What did you see?" As Mark and his team struggle to figure out what caused this bizarre event, they begin to piece together the future by creating a huge database of people's
flash forwards from all over the world - The Mosaic Collective. No one knows what these flash forwards mean or exactly what the future really holds. But it is clear that across the globe people who've never met will somehow be intimately connected and will have an impact on each other's lives in the next six months. Some will fear what's coming, others excited; but not a single person will be unaffected.
Adapting award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer's revolutionary novel, executive producers David S. Goyer (co-writer of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight), Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: Enterprise), Marc Guggenheim (Brothers & Sisters, Eli Stone), Jessika Borszicky (Revelations) and producer Mark H. Ovitz (October Road) invite you to embark on a journey to answer the question, "if you knew what your future held, what would you do?"
Along with Feinnes, the show also stars John Cho and Lost alums Dominic Monaghan, and Sonya Walger.

The Flow Control Innovation Awards program is an annual contest designed to highlight compelling advances in fluid handling technology. In the May issue of Flow Control, we announced final nominees and presented them for reader voting through July 1. Winners were announced in the August issue of Flow Control, and here we're providing short case studies on each of the winning technologies to show how each are being employed to the benefit of real-world applications.
RELATED: Recognizing the year's most compelling fluid handling technology innovations
OEM Meets the Needs of Critical Hydraulic Test Application with Custom Digital Pressure Gauge
An OEM manufacturer of hydraulic testers for measuring the strength of materials recently adopted Ashcroft's DG25 pressure gauge to measure units of force in a critical testing scenario. In this application, the DG25 displays the maximum force applied before failure of the material under test.
Ashcroft was able to completely customize its standard DG25 pressure gauge to suit this unique industry and application, leveraging its position as the sole owner of the hardware and firmware for this product, as well as its on-site production and design engineering services. The customization included multiple different engineering units and a "max-hold" feature, which saves and displays the maximum force applied at the point of material failure.
This particular OEM also required the removal of some programmable features from the menu, while other programmable parameters needed to be factory set and not field adjustable. One example of the removed functionality was the tare function, as it is not necessary for this particular application, and Ashcroft engineers disabled this option per the customer's request.
In addition to creating custom application firmware, Ashcroft also created a custom overlay artwork, including the OEM's logo and color scheme. This made the gauge truly unique in features, functions, and appearance.
During the specification process, Ashcroft worked closely with the OEM's design engineers to collaborate on the product specifications and to obtain a clear understanding of the application and requirements. By sending a sample Ashcroft DG25 gauge at the onset of the project, Ashcroft and the OEM were able to work together to specify necessary changes and expected deviations from the standard product. Once both parties had agreed on the OEM specifications, Ashcroft's software engineers went to work modifying existing firmware and writing new custom sections of the firmware to meet the requirements of the application.
In parallel to the updated firmware, Ashcroft's graphic designer collaborated with the OEM's graphics group to get artwork and color schemes to create a new custom gauge front panel overlay.
Once the firmware work was complete, prototype gauges were shipped to the OEM for test and evaluation. As commonly found in most design projects, the customer's testing found a need for some minor changes, including user interface changes and additional display messages. Ashcroft worked with the customer through the test phase to ensure the solution met their specific requirements. After multiple rounds of testing, Ashcroft and the OEM were able to finalize the solution.
In this application the customer found that reading an analog gauge quickly and accurately had proven to be a challenge. By displaying the measurement in large LCD display characters and saving the maximum value (pressure at failure) until the gauge is reset, the DG25 provided a solution that was easy to read and left no doubt about the maximum pressure at failure. The DG25 also provided the OEM superior durability, water ingress protection (IP67), and extended battery life (2,000-plus hours).
The most important performance advantages the DG25 gauge offered in this application were ease-of-use and the ability to program the gauge at the OEM's factory to work with different test ranges, which meant only one customizable DG25 model had to be stocked and inventoried.
The DG25 was also used on a new version of the OEM's tester, and usage of the product has continued to increase. Ashcroft hopes that the OEM's positive and productive experience in developing this gauge will provide more opportunities to work new product development projects going forward.
Composite Valves Eliminate Quality Concerns for Grocery Misting and RO Systems
A leading U.S. manufacturer of high-quality grocery equipment systems for produce misting, humidity, and water filtration was having disruptive supply chain problems with its composite-bodied solenoid valves. These non-corrosive valves were used to perform water inlet control on the company's three major product lines, including a reverse-osmosis system.
"For years, we had unbelievable supply problems with this valve type," recalls the company's vice president of engineering. "Moldings would leak, plunger assemblies would fail, the wrong product would be shipped, or the maker would miss our deadline."
The company turned to ASCO's 212 Series of composite solenoid valves to solve its reliability and delivery problems. The valve's ultra-high pressure ratings (up to 150 PSI) easily handled the company's requirements and proven operation up to one million cycles eliminating any quality concerns.
"We grabbed the chance to beta test the new ASCO composite valve," said the company's president and CEO. "These valves can take the pressure. We're operating them up to 70 PSI." In addition, he says the valve NSF rating met the system's NSF certification requirements. "It's very important that our valves also have that certification."
The user is also pleased that the ASCO composite solenoid valves are proven reliable up to 1 million cycles. "We're seeing maybe 100,000 cycles per year," said the company's CEO. "Plus, we've had on-time delivery since the composite valve launched."
The company also valued the 212 valve's FasN connection system—a turn-and-lock technology that quickly attaches the valve to a wide variety of fitting types for rapid assembly and design flexibility. Like other quick-connect systems, FasN maximizes ease and speed. But unlike some previous systems, it also prevents leaks. FasN-equipped valves can be used with all three types of standard valve-to-pipe end connections—threaded pipe types with NPT thread; CTS or PEX tubing with turn-and-lock; and PVC with solvent bond.
"I'd say we've put in over 700 of the valves already. And every one has performed," said the president. "So our equipment now lasts longer than the whole grocery case."
Medical Extruder Finds a Mercury-Free Cure for Pressure Sensor Headaches
"Non-filled transducers that perform as well or better than filled units are always a plus in the extrusion of medical devices," says Larry Alpert, engineering services manager, Putnam Plastics Corp., Dayville, Conn., a supplier of medical catheter extrusions and minimally invasive tubing. In two plants totaling 120,000-sq.ft., Putnam has over 45 plastic extruders and dedicated clean manufacturing space. Transducers are used for pressure control in extrusion dies and at gear-pump inlets, and Alpert says they are in the process of upgrading to Dynisco Vertex mercury-free sensors.
Mercury is known to be toxic, of course, but even non-mercury fillers can be problematic. "Foreign matter of any kind in medical extrusion is a grave concern that could lead to having to recall product," Alpert explains. "When transducer failure leads to contaminated product, we don't usually find out until after the fact. By then, the components could already be at the next step in the process or on the way to the customer, and that puts us at risk with our components and with our customers."
Dynisco Vertex sensors employ a novel approach, sensing pressure directly without using complicated mechanical structures or liquid fill media. This means faster response and better control for today's precision extrusion systems, and it contributes to a longer service life. With no mercury or fill material of any kind, it is friendlier to the environment and less likely to cause product contamination.
Putnam has tried all the different non-filled approaches at one time or another and found that they don't last long before there are technical issues. Electronic transducers suffered from issues due to overheating of the electronics, linearity, and in general, poor reliability. Mechanical, push-rod-type transducers have many known issues and don't offer the same level of performance compared to filled sensors. "We've been using sensors filled with NaK (sodium/potassium) for quite some time," he says. "While they are mercury free, they have a very limited lifetime and seem to require repair or replacement in little over a year."
Because the Vertex mercury-free pressure sensor is a drop-in replacement for his NaK-filled units, Alpert says the upgrade is simple and transparent to operators. He especially appreciates the Vertex diaphragm, which is six times thicker than those on other units and coated for abrasion-resistance. "The thicker diaphragm is a blessing. Many of our extrusion systems have three and even four transducers, and they go through a lot of handling. We are an OEM supplier and have many short runs that require frequent bare-metal cleanouts—sometimes multiple times a day. By far, our biggest transducer repair cost has been due to diaphragm damage, and we now look for Vertex to outlast NaK sensors, reducing our total cost of ownership for pressure sensors," Alpert says.
The thickness of the diaphragm and materials of construction make for a highly robust device so it should be no surprise that it outperforms and outlasts other sensors. Dynisco is so confident in the durability of the Vertex sensor that it is covered by a four-year warranty.
Severe Service Vortex Sensor Provides Reliable Solution for Demanding Offshore & Solar Applications
Offshore Application: National oil companies, independent oil companies, and well service companies all operate offshore oil drilling platforms with key unit operations to support the production of petroleum products. The instrumentation used on these platforms includes multiple flowmeter technologies, which are selected for each application based on the flow measurement requirements and the capabilities of the flowmeter technology. After carefully reviewing all of the published specifications and manufacturer's recommendations for flowmeter selection, the Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flowmeter was selected for a water flow measurement off a first-stage separator.
After nearly a year in service, a service technician was sent out to inspect the failure of the vortex flowmeter. At this point all that the service technician knew was that a flowmeter that had been reliably reporting flow for several months had suddenly dropped to an output of 4mA (or zero flow). The technician dutifully followed the instructions in the operation manual and discovered the vortex sensor had failed. Thankfully, the line didn't need to be shut down to replace the faulty sensor—as a replacement sensor was available off the shelf.
As a follow-up to the failure, the technician sent the sensor out for analysis to determine the failure mode. After a few days the failure analysis results came back, showing the sensor failed due to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking in the sensor lead wire. Although the sensor was isolated from the process fluid, it was exposed to the chloride-rich offshore ambient environment. Additionally, the sensor was in close proximity to a high temperature process line, which further accelerated the corrosive action.
After checking with the factory, the service technician learned that a new vortex sensor, known as the Severe Service Sensor, was now available. The new sensor featured a Monel 400 sensor lead wire and Inconel 600 sensor housing material. Both of these materials have been proven to resist chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. After replacing the standard sensor with the new Rosemount 8800 Vortex Severe Service Sensor, the technician confidently concluded that the replacement sensor was able to withstand the challenging offshore environment.
The Rosemount 8800 Vortex Severe Service Sensor was designed with the toughest process conditions in mind. A unique nickel-alloy sensor lead wire and housing material of construction support resistance to corrosion in ambient environments where chloride levels are elevated, such as near-shore or offshore marine environments. A proprietary piezoelectric crystal is designed to handle continuous exposure to process temperatures that were previously considered untenable. These two key features combine to make the Rosemount 8800 Vortex Severe Service Sensor a truly rugged and reliable vortex sensor capable of standing up to the requirements of the most difficult applications.
Solar Application: Spain is one of the most advanced countries in the development of solar energy. One type of a concentrating solar power plant uses solar troughs. These solar troughs are essentially long parabolic mirror troughs that focus the energy of the sun on a pipe. The pipeline contains high-efficiency heat transfer oil, which is heated and delivered to a central unit where the heat can be used to create steam and ultimately generate electricity. These solar trough pipelines can see temperatures as high as 600 F to 700 F. It is essential that the flowmeter technology used to monitor these flows can tolerate continuous high temperature process fluid.
Vortex technology was previously selected on a solar project to measure the flow of the heat-transfer fluid. Unfortunately, the flowmeter manufacturer that was selected provided a flowmeter with a gasket in the meter body and a vortex sensor that failed after being installed for only two months of service. Not only did the vortex meter fail and lose the ability to reliably report flow after a short installed service life, inspection of the metering point at the time of failure showed that the meter was also leaking heat-transfer oil through the gasket connection for the vortex sensor and on both process flanges.
The customer reviewed the Rosemount 8800 Vortex design and was impressed by the high temperature performance of the Severe Service Sensor and the weld-end meter body design, which eliminated all leak points from the flowmeter installation. After several months in service, the severe service sensors have stayed online and continued to function, while there have been no leaks detected at the installation point.
Coriolis Mass Flowmeter Enables Quick Startup, Reduced Maintenance, and Streamlined Calibration
In the food & beverage industry, time to market and getting the most from assets is of critical importance. Pre-assembled units or skids in small designs with a modular principle can provide crucial advantages in this area.
The Promass S is well known for its design that meets all standards in the food & beverage industry, FDA and 3-A, and is suitable for CIP/SIP. And now Endress+Hauser has developed the Proline 100 series of transmitters specifically to meet the needs of skid builders and end-users in the food & beverage industry. It maintains full functionality of Endress+Hauser's proven multi-parameter Coriolis mass flowmeter in a compact stainless steel housing.
Endress+Hauser had several discussions with a key end-user customer in the food and beverage industry and found that the new Promass S sensor with the Proline 100 transmitter could help them achieve their goals for quick start-up, reduced installation and maintenance costs, and streamline in-house calibration intervals.
The customer purchased and installed the Promass S 100 with an EtherNet/IP output. The Promass 100 includes an add-on Profile to Level 3 and premier integration to the Rockwell Automation PlantPAx process automation system. Using these capabilities in startup, the customer realized a 25 percent reduction in programming time and a 40 percent reduction in control integration time.
The smaller footprint of the Promass S 100 allowed the customer to design the skids with a smaller footprint resulting in more available space in the plant for future expansions. The Promass S 100 transmitter offers a 30 percent smaller enclosure size.
The customer also had to consider high-pressure washdown in their facility. They were able to take advantage of the IP69K option on the Promass 100. The benefit of the high-pressure washdown is that much less water and detergent can be used to obtain the same results as low pressure sprays, meaning, quite literally, less money down the drain.
And finally, Heartbeat Technology simplifies the diagnostics, monitoring, and verification requirements via onboard technology. Using Heartbeat Technology for in-situ verification allows the customer to extend their calibration intervals, which reduces process shutdowns and their long-term maintenance cost.
Thermal Mass Flowmeter Serves Oil & Gas Emissions Testing In On Shore and Offshore Applications
Quantum Industrial LLC, an oil & gas consultancy in Texas, has used the FOX Model FT3 Thermal Mass Flow Meter in oil and gas emissions testing applications on shore and offshore.
In using the FT3 meter, Quantum has found it to provide several key advantages when measuring gas emissions:
1. Calibration can be validated before emission measurement begins;
2. The calibration validation certificate can be printed and submitted in the report to the client;
3. The remote probe and 100-foot connector cable allow measurement from a safe upwind position when hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is present in crude oil stock tank emissions;
4. The USB cable allows convenient data logging and meter setup via a laptop computer; and
5. The controller housing is rugged and weather proof.
Quantum has used FOX flowmeters for over seven years in the oil and gas industry. FOX's first model, the FOX 10A, was used to obtain the emission measurements in the seminal report on gas emissions from oil stock tanks ("VOC Emissions from Oil and Condensate Storage Tanks"; Handler, Nunn et al., April 2009).
The FOX FT3 is a quantum leap forward, as the ability to confirm proper instrument calibration in the field is a major improvement available through the FOX CAL-V and Zero CAL-CHECK diagnostic functions. Calibration validation is simple and requires four-to-five minutes for the meter to cycle through the tests. A Calibration Validation Certificate can be produced from FT3 View software.
The infrared sensor buttons under the glass face of the controller are an improvement over the pushbuttons in earlier FOX models. The setup initial conditions for measurement can be entered at either the controller or through a laptop PC into which the FT3 View software has been loaded. The laptop PC can be connected by the USB port in the controller. Setup entry normally consists of the diameter of the pipe holding the FT3 probe, the sampling rate from once-per-second, and units of gas flow that are normally SCFM. However, almost any units of measurement can be displayed.
Data logging of measured flow, total cumulative flow, temperature, and elapsed time can be recorded and displayed on the attached laptop PC or by a data logger attached to the USB cable. Data can be quickly converted to graphs that clearly indicate the critical characteristics of the flow that has been measured.
The FOX FT3 is calibrated in the factory to the gas specified by the buyer. Quantum measures primarily methane, ethane and other hydrocarbon gases, carbon dioxide, and air with the FT3 calibrated on 100 percent methane. Laboratory gas analysis provides the mole percentages of each component gas. FOX provides the Heat Transfer Coefficient for each component gas. When the measured gas is 96 percent methane or more, no correction factor is required. When the methane mole percent is lower, the accurate correction factor is computed from the Heat Transfer Coefficients and the laboratory gas analysis.

High-Pressure Cylinder Valve Maximizes Safety in Gas Delivery Systems
The Parker Veriflo HCV Cylinder Valve provides maximum fire and explosion safety for very high-pressure gas delivery systems found in medical, laboratory, industrial, aviation, space, and mining applications.
Independent, third-party design analysis by oxygen safety engineers at Wendell Hull & Associates (WHA) concluded the valve's unique design and materials "exhibits a low probability and low consequence of ignition." WHA, which has investigated numerous oxygen system fires involving cylinder valves, determined the HCV Cylinder Valve achieved its significant fire risk reduction by addressing the predominant causes of ignition—flow friction, adiabatic compression, particle impact, and material selection.
The HCV's patent-pending design includes several major innovations to the cylinder valve's seat. Most importantly, the seat is out of the direct flow path, greatly reducing flow impingement/friction and adiabatic compression. The polyimide (Vespel) seat material has an auto-ignition temperature (AIT) 80 C higher than traditional nylon seats; nylon also suffers from marginal oxygen compatibility and higher heat content.
The HCV valve's seat is behind a burn-resistant Monel keeper, reducing its exposed surface area and protecting it from ignition by adiabatic compression. The seat moves straight up-and-down (instead of rotating) and has a metal-to-metal stop to prevent over-torquing. Both features greatly reduce wear and damage (extrusion) to the seat that can increase the risk of ignition from either flow friction or particle generation/impact.
Threads on traditional cylinder valves are in the direct flow path, potentially creating particles that can become an ignition risk or contribute to seat damage. By contrast, the HCV's rotating threads are outside the wetted area, limiting their potential for particle generation.
Another major innovation is the valve's construction using burn-resistant alloys (e.g., Monel, bronze) on all wetted metal components. Other non-metal seals and back-up rings are made of polymers (e.g., FKM, PTFE) preferred for oxygen service and fully encapsulated in burn-resistant alloys.
Finally, the ring-shaped geometry of the seat reduces the mass of its non-metal (polyimide) seat material, reducing the energy release if the seat were ignited. This, in turn, reduces the potential for igniting downstream materials or components. The seat design also enables the valve to have the lowest leak rates in the industry.
In an industry where most define "high pressure" as greater than 2,000 PSIG, the HCV's 6,000 PSIG capacity far exceeds traditional cylinder valve designs. And unlike many other products, the HCV Cylinder Valve exceeds the industry's demanding ASTM G88—05 Standard Guide for Designing Systems for Oxygen Service.
It is these same design features that compelled a national leader in sales & service to the breathing air industry to choose the HCV valve over competitive solutions.
Pre-Engineered Pump System Effectively Doses Sodium Bisulfite in Water Treatment Process
seepex's Pre-Engineered Chemical Metering Skid Systems support a wide variety of liquid chemical dosing applications, primarily for disinfection in water and wastewater treatment facilities. They are designed to eliminate the valuable time and costs associated with engineering, procuring, assembling, and commissioning flow control systems. A customizable system is packaged into a single unit with all the components necessary for chemical dosing and with (or without) controls and framework. The skids can deliver mild-to-aggressive, thin-to-highly viscous liquids, as well as corrosive and solid-laden chemicals.
In various water treatment plants in Puerto Rico, a total of eight skid systems are installed and utilized for handling sodium bisulfite in water filtration processes. The sodium bisulfite controls the chloride levels of the effluent water. The skids were commissioned at seepex's manufacturing facility in Enon, Ohio, according to each application's flow ranges and then calibrated according to the flow control loop. Each skid consists of two seepex progressive-cavity MD 003-12 pumps, each with a motor and VFD, a Pressure Control Mechanism (one gauge, one relief valve, and one bypass valve), a calibration column, along with piping and accessories. The systems are indoors, and the pumps operate continuously eight hours a day.
Luiz Rodriquez, a contractor with Electrical Instrumentation Contractors, Inc. (EIC, Inc.), who helped select and install the seepex skids at the water treatment plants says, "The end users and I are very satisfied with how easily the skids integrated into the existing operations, like a plug-in and play installation. The skids work great and perfectly fit our needs of simple integration and ease of installation. We have had only positive feedback from the end users."
With chemical-resistant materials, all skid components will hold up in harsh acidic and caustic chemical environments. Components include calibration column, pressure gauge, pressure switches, dry-run protection, and flowmeters. Also included are superior-quality seepex progressive cavity pumps. Components of the pumps, such as elastomers, exotic metals, and plastics are also custom designed with chemically resistant materials. An integrated vector drive with automatic (4-20mA) or manual digital speed control comes standard, eliminating the need for a local interface/control panel.
The systems handle pressure up to 350 PSI, flowrates from 10mL/min to 100 GPH, and have turndown capability of 60-to-1. With Non-pulsating flow, accurate and reliable metering is assured. Progressive cavity pumps do not have ball valves, therefore they are not prone to vapor lock and do not require back pressure valves or priming chambers. This makes them a good fit for pumping chemical solutions with high vapor pressures like sodium hypochlorite or ammonia.
Coriolis Mass Meter Helps Ensure Purification in Tungsten Metal Manufacturing Process
During a field test at a leading metal supplying company, the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flowmeter demonstrated exceptional stability and reliability in measuring the concentration of tungsten metal.
H.C. Starck, a global supplier of refractory metals and technical ceramics, produces powder chemicals and compounds, including tungsten and tungsten alloys. To produce tungsten powder and products, the company first sources solid tungsten from other industries. This unprocessed metal tends to be extremely brittle and difficult to work with, which is why it must be purified to 99.99 percent pure tungsten. Purification ensures the final product will be malleable enough for use in metalworking, while still retaining its distinctive hardness.
Once the sourced metal is reduced to sodium tungstate in dissolving tanks, it is passed through filter presses before being sent to an intermediate storage tank, where it awaits transfer to a purification header vessel. When one of the header vessels needs to be refilled, a downstream level controller starts a pump and the required quantity of sodium tungstate is transferred from the storage tank to the vessel.
To ensure the purification process is as effective and time-efficient as possible, the purification system must receive real-time updates on the exact concentration (i.e., fraction) of tungsten within the fluid being transferred to the header vessel. For this reason, the metal supplier required the installation of a flowmeter to provide feed-forward process data to the purification system. The chosen meter needed to be capable of highly accurate density measurement despite the fluctuating flow, pressure, and temperature conditions that result from 15 to 20 pump starts per day.
The customer was interested in the SITRANS FC430 for its ability to measure density, volume, and temperature in addition to mass flow, as well as its compact size and accuracy.
To perform the field test, a SITRANS FC430 meter was installed on a discharge line below an intermediate storage tank and adjacent to a transfer pump. The results were highly successful:
- Performance remained stable at zero flow, with a total deviation of only +/-1.5 kg/h (3.3 lb/h) over a temperature range of 1.6 C (34.9 F).
- Flowrate and density were reported reliably over the entire duration of a 104-minute trace, with no unexplained fluctuations or spikes in flow trend.
- Reliability was demonstrated under dynamic conditions, with nearly instant response times to changes in flowrate caused by pump starts and stops.
- Density readings were accurate to within 1 kg/tonne (2.2 lb/tonne) as compared to a laboratory reading.
- Performance in fluctuating volume flow was excellent, with the flow signal following the dynamics of a reference reading reliably with no visible deviation.
- The driver current demonstrated stability of greater than two significant digits at zero flow and deviations of less than two significant digits in conditions where pressure or temperature fluctuated.
The metal supplier was so encouraged by the early performance of the SITRANS FC430 that they upgraded the Coriolis mass flow sensor to a complete system and implemented it as part of the overall tungsten purification process.
Thermal Mass Flowmeters Fill the Bill in Precision Gas-Ratio Control Application
Fiberglass insulation manufacturing is almost akin to making cotton candy. A mixture of silica and other components are melted and passed through a spinning extruder, then rapidly cooled with compressed air (see Figure). As older fiberglass manufacturing plants have demonstrated, manual control of air and natural gas flow to the burners used to melt the initial mix often results in unacceptable levels of rejected material, as well as excessive gas consumption.
Process engineers at a fiberglass manufacturing company in the Southwest of the U.S. were seeking methods to improve fiberglass quality, reduce raw material waste, and increase production capacity, all while keeping the measurement and control system as simple and economical as possible. They faced some unique application challenges:
1. The process used existing piping of various diameters to carry the natural gas, combustion air used to melt the glass, and compressed air used to cool and chop the fiberglass fibers (Figure 1).
2. The application also varied with the grade of fiberglass insulation being produced, so the manufacturing process required a great deal of flexibility on gas flowrate, temperature, and pressure. In combustion temperature control, the temperature is directly dependent on the ratio of natural gas to air.
Ultimately, the facilities managers determined that improving the combustion efficiency was the best way to attain the quality and production benefits they were seeking, and they turned to Sierra for a simple and economical solution.
The most efficient solution was a single flowmeter that provides accurate flow measurements of multiple gases under all application variables. Traditionally, orifice plates have been used in combustion-control applications, but they are a fixed size for a certain pipe and must be temperature and pressure compensated. To manage the varying conditions in this application, Sierra's QuadraTherm 780i was deemed to be a perfect fit.
This new four-sensor QuadraTherm mass flowmeter yields unprecedented accuracy for thermal meters—+/- 0.5 percent of reading—far better than the 5.0 percent full scale of other technologies. The technology also offers a powerful microprocessor that runs a comprehensive flow-measurement algorithm. This algorithm uses inputs from four temperature sensors, instead of the traditional two.
Facilities managers at the fiberglass manufacturing facility installed the QuadraTherm 780i to provide precise flow measurement. QuadraTherm isable to accurately measure multiple gases with Dial-a-Gas (natural gas, air, compressed air), while measuring high or low flow in various-sized pipes with differing amounts of straight run. Its unique Dial-A-Pipe feature allows the ability to change pipe sizes and types in the field.
The QuadraTherm 780i performed very well in this application, measuring direct mass flow of all gases in the process over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. With this precise mass flow measurement for ratio control, facilities managers reported a higher yield of quality fiberglass, which leads to higher overall production capacity and efficiency. With flexible features, one basic meter was configured to match all of the application conditions, allowing for uniform mounting, installation, and wiring requirements.
Portable Electromagnetic Flowmeter Enables a Colorado City to Efficiently Track Multiple Valves
A city in Colorado needed to determine the flow through each of three separate valve chambers to determine whether water load was shared equally. By measuring the flowrates, the operator was able to use the data to determine whether they need to adjust the pressure set points on any of the pressure-reducing valves in each vault. Since there was no power source and limited space in the station, the client specifically wanted a portable flowmeter that could be shared between three valves in three separate chambers.
Pipestone Equipment's Dave Buchwald suggested Singer Valve's SPI-MV, which features a unique single-point insertion probe that can be inserted into a Singer valve to measure flow and then be moved to a different valve. The insertion probe extends into the flow stream through one of the valve inlet connections and protrudes into the valve, equivalent to 1/8 of the valve diameter size. As a single-piece design, the bullet nose profile has no moving parts to get clogged and contains nothing to wear or break.
The SPI-MV has options for both AC and DC power along with a compact design, which enables it to be combined with a data logger and a 12VDC lithium battery. This allows the valve to be left in the probe unit in the vault for up to a month, all the while acquiring and saving flow data. A USB is then used to extract the data off the data logger, and the battery is recharged at the end of the month before the unit is installed into one of the two additional vaults and the cycle is repeated. The installation is straight forward; once the SPI probe is removed, the ball valve is closed, allowing the valve to continue to run as normal.
Since the unit only protrudes eight inches from the valve and requires 12 inches for clearance, it fits easily in to all of the chambers. The SPI-MV is accurate to 2 percent of reading throughout the specified velocity range, which enables the utility to confidently monitor the flowrates and compare loads to ensure equal flow.

The flexibility of the Mark 708 control valve allows me to meet a wide variety of process conditions in my pilot plant. The ability to change cv's within a single valve allows me to control costs and minimize overall valve inventory.
We recently purchased the JRHF Series to replace a competitor's valve hoping to get better performance. The balanced trim gave us much better performance over a wide range of flow rates.
We needed to run a continuous 8 week pilot system test using high pressure hydrogen. Your competitor's average trim life was 6 weeks while the LowFlow MK708 lasted 2 years. We only changed out the trim and soft goods due to regularly scheduled maintenance.
We made a change to a lower priced control valve around 3 years ago. After seeing how much time and money we were spending on repairs we switched back to the LowFlow MK708. It provided much more value for our investment, saving us money in the long run.

There is a mistake!!! Edit
Hi guys, in this page about Star Trek: Intelligence Gathering there is a BIG mistake. I am Elena Casagrande and I never colored any issue of this comicbook series, never. The only and official colorist is ILARIA TRAVERSI, and stop, for all the issues. So, I deleted my name from the list. Please don't write my name again, it's a mistake. Thanks, bye Elena
- I'll change it then, since my copy sitting right in front of me has your name credited as the color artist for the 2nd issue of the series. Odd as that is. Since you were credited, make sure that you get paid for the work. ;) -- Sulfur 21:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Sulfur, I don't know how this is happened, I'll hope that for the next credits there isn't any problems; this kind of mistake is unfair especially for the people who work on the issue really. I don't know who is the liable. Bye :)

In 1696, young Christopher Ellis is sent to the Tower of London, but not as a prisoner. Though Ellis is notoriously hotheaded and was caught fighting an illegal duel, he arrives at the Tower as assistant to the renowned scientist Sir Isaac Newton. Newton has accepted an appointment from the King of England and Parliament to investigate and prosecute counterfeiters whose false coins threaten to bring down the shaky, war-weakened economy. Ellis may lack Newton's scholarly mind, but he is quick with a pistol and proves himself to be an invaluable sidekick and devoted apprentice to Newton.While Newton and Ellis investigate a counterfeiting ring, they come upon a mysterious coded message on the body of a man killed in the Lion Tower. Despite Newton's formidable intellect, he is unable to decipher the cryptic message or any of the others he and Ellis find as the body count increases within the Tower complex. As they are drawn into a wild pursuit of the counterfeiters that takes them from the madhouse of Bedlam to the squalid confines of Newgate prison and back to the Tower itself, Newton and Ellis discover that the counterfeiting is only a small part of a larger, more dangerous plot, one that threatens much more than the collapse of the economy.More
