Synthetic Fiber Production: Quench Air Moisture Measurement for Polymer Fiber Production
White Paper The development of a fiber begins in the chemistry laboratory with the development of a polymer chain from petroleum. The chemistry portion of the process results in a bead or chip of the raw polymer that will be melted and extruded through... [03 Jul 2008]
The Global Heat Balance: Heat Transports in the Atmosphere and Ocean
White Paper The effective heat sources and sinks (diabatic heating) and effective moisture sources and sinks for the atmosphere are computed and combined to produce overall estimates of the atmospheric energy divergence and the net flux through the earth's... [03 Jul 2008]
Digital Government: Reviving the Newhall Simulation Model to Understand the Patterns and Trends of Soil Climate Regimes and Drought Events
White Paper This paper will introduce new applications of soil moisture regimes as a drought risk indicator of patterns and trends within an agricultural drought decision support system. The analysis and understanding of drought processes in the Great Plains... [03 Jul 2008]
Electrically Conductive Adhesives: Characteristics and Applications
White Paper Conductive silicones help protect devices from environmental hazards such as moisture, and shield electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) emissions. Continuing improvements in adhesive technology have enabled adhesives to replace... [03 Jul 2008]
Green Molding Compounds
White Paper Although they are less hazardous, molding compounds containing these compounds generally possess undesirable properties such as high moisture absorption. New molding compounds for encapsulation of integrated circuits are required in the future... [03 Jul 2008]

A Reactive Soil Moisture Sensor Network: Design and Field Evaluation
White Paper This paper describes the design and implementation of a reactive, event driven network for environmental monitoring of soil moisture and evaluates its effectiveness. A novel feature of the solution is its reactivity to the environment: when rain... [08 Jan 2008]
Buy one $100 laptop, give one 'free'
News The laptops have been designed to withstand extremes of heat and moisture, and to be energy efficient in harsh environments. The One Laptop Per Child scheme has announced it will make its ruggedised laptops available in the US for a limited time... [25 Sep 2007]
Life Under Your Feet: A Wireless Soil Ecology Sensor Network
White Paper Each network node measures soil moisture and temperature every minute and stores the measurements in local memory. Wireless sensor networks can revolutionize soil ecology by providing measurements at temporal and spatial granularities previously... [23 Aug 2007]
$100 laptop gets set for mass production
News The laptops have been designed to withstand extremes of heat and moisture, and to be energy efficient in harsh environments. The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) organisation has announced that its ruggedised laptop, the XO, is going into mass production. [24 Jul 2007]
Researchers pore over biometrics spoofing data
News Schuckers said in a pre-released statement: "Since liveness detection is based on the recognition of physiological activities as signs of life, we hypothesised that fingerprint images from live fingers would show a specific changing moisture... [22 Dec 2005]
