ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com Introduces 'EGD Recommends'
Romeoville, IL (ContentDesk) April 11, 2006 -- It's hard to get an honest, straight-forward recommendation anymore - especially when it comes to generators.Most generator dealers are loyal to the single brand on their shelves, according to Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com -- an online generator superstore (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com)."Guess what? The Yamaha dealer is going to recommend Yamaha.
The Mitsubishi dealer is going to recommend Mitsubishi.
Surprise!" jokes Hoch.So, how do you truly know how each model stacks up?ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com just launched "EGD Recommends" to help shoppers compare the top generator brands in 7 different categories:1. Tiny Recreational Generators2. Small Recreational Generators3.
Mid-Sized Emergency Generators4. Large Emergency Generators5. X-Large Emergency Generators6. Home Standby Generators7. Residential/Commercial Standby GeneratorThe recommendations are more than simply ranking generators into small, medium and large.
Everyone already does that, says Hoch.In addition, they're not just a list of best sellers.
Just because it's a best seller doesn't give it "Best-in-Class" status.The e-tailer combined the last two years of sales history, dozens of customer reviews and some personal insight to generate their final rankings."Weve been selling generators online since 2002. We know what's great. We know what's junk. And best of all, we're not afraid to say so," says Hoch.Once the dust and data settled, only 21 of 124 generators sold by ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com were given the prestigious "EGD Recommends" status.
The recommended generators can be seen at http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/recommends.php.In addition, Hoch personally wrote online reviews for each generator, explaining why the company recommended it.By providing the recommendations and reviews, ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com hopes to arm shoppers with enough ammunition to pick the perfect generator for their needs. Were loyal to our customers -- not our suppliers, says Hoch. Our intention is to make the shopping experience as simple as possible.
We hope they appreciate our honesty. About ElectricGeneratorsDirect.comElectricGeneratorsDirect.com is an online generator superstore owned and operated by Power Equipment Direct, Inc.

KUA Releases 2005 Annual Report
Kissimmee, Fla., (ContentDesk) February 10, 2006 -- Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida's sixth largest community-owned electric utility, today released its 2005 annual report.The 48-page report, titled "A Lifetime of Power," represents the culmination of a successful year of accomplishments for KUA and serves as a farewell tribute to the eight diesel generators at the utility's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station. The generators and the historic buildings that housed them were decommissioned on September 30, 2005 after 104 years of continuous service to the residents of Kissimmee. The facility was decommissioned because the units were no longer economical to operate.Audited financial statements in the report show increased residential customer growth in 2005 of 3.6 percent. Energy sales increased by 7.6 percent.An electronic version of the report is available on the utility's Web site at http://www.kua.com/corporate...

ADVANCES IN SPEED MONITORING PROMOTES RAIL SAFETY
(ContentDesk) September 24 2003--Why use speed detection devices?
By monitoring speed accurately at each powered axle, it is possible to synchronise speed from each wheel set to ensure smooth and balanced power delivery.
This gives rapid acceleration and braking without wheel spin or slide.
Positive benefits include avoiding excessive power use, damage to wheel sets or track and a reduction in downtime for service attention.All Rowe Hankins speed monitoring systems use magnetic disturbance - the Hall-effect - to generate a pulse that is directly proportional to speed.
This produces a strong signal that cannot be degraded by EMC, RFI and other forms of interference.
The company offers both Hall-effect speed probes and pulse generators.Speed probes are often installed as a retrofit directly to the gearbox, using the cogs on a gear wheel as the target to create the pulsed signal.
These probes cope well with this environment, the magnetic...

Demand for Generators Set to Rocket as UK Power Crisis Looms
(ContentDesk) November 18, 2005 -- Natalie Chew, of Generators Express (http://www.generatorsexpress.co.uk), believes that demand for generators will rocket as households and businesses in the UK ready themselves for what could be a winter of power cuts. There is increasing concern that Britains natural gas reserves will run dangerously low in the event of a cold winter. This would force the government to shut down gas-burning power stations in order to maintain uninterrupted gas supplies to households. Around 40% of the UKs electricity is generated by gas power stations and shutting them down would lead to prolonged periods or power cuts across much of the country. Furthermore, several indicators suggest that this winter could be particularly severe.Households and small businesses are turning to generators as emergency power backup solutions.
These days it is almost impossible to function without electricity...

Triad Semiconductor Announces the End of Full-Custom Layout
Winston / Salem, NC
May 26, 2005 -- The MSSA Design Kit (MDK) enables customers to develop mixed signal integrated circuits using industry standard design tools. Now, analog designs can be captured as schematics that are configured and interconnected using automatic place and route software. The resulting designs are manufactured on Triad's low fabrication cost via-only-programmable MSSA platforms. The MDK-2005.1 contains silicon proven design cells for the currently available MSSA-1 as well as advanced information for other platforms currently in development. Included in the kit is a synthesizable digital and analog structured ASIC library, analog schematic capture symbols, and spice models for a rich set of analog functions including:- OpAmps ? Wideband, Low Noise, General-Purpose, & Transconductance- Resistor Arrays, Capacitor Arrays, Transistor Arrays, & Switch Arrays- Bias generators & Band Gap Reference- IP blocks such as: 8-bit & 10-bit DACs, Programmable Gain Instrumentation...

Hydrogen generators safety
Using and handling hydrogen presents many dangers, when air and hydrogen is mixed risks of an explosion highly increase because the mixture is highly explosive.
When working with hydrogen generators you mast be very attentive. the room where the hydrogen generator is placed should be very well ventilated, an outdoor zone if possible, and everything must be done to eliminate the risks of explosion and fire around the hydrogen generator.
When using and handling the hydrogen generator incorrectly, it may produce excessive heat and dangerous chemical reactions. For example, if the hydrogen generator is removed from its water tank
while it is operating it will overheat and high risks of fire appear. If you wish to remove a hydrogen generator from the water you must wait first for the generation of the hydrogen to stop.
All the equipment on the nitrogen generator should be grounded, to prevent static electrical charges from generating....
