White or yellow glues, which are classified as polyvinyl acetates, or PVA glues, include the white glue used in classrooms and waterproof formulas such as Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue. These glues cure by dehydration. The moisture in the glue needs to evaporate or get soaked into the surface being glued. One side effect: The glue shrinks as it dries, to compensate for the loss of water. Polyurethane glue, however, doesn’t cure by drying. It cures through a chemical reaction that requires moisture. Misting at least one surface before applying the adhesive ensures enough moisture to cause the adhesive to foam and expand, and then cure.

Tenney Environmental, announced the shipment of a vacuum space simulation system. This system is designed to test ionic thruster chips for space vehicle systems. The simulator will allow the customer to test their products in house, while replicating outer space conditions. The customer manufactures equipment for space.

A 2-day trial with a human subject enables comparisons of the response of biofuel cell–based glucose and lactate sensors (n =3 for each analyte) to measurements by NMR. The study involves applying the sensors (right forearm) and leaving them in place for two consecutive days, with 15- to 20-min cycling sessions twice on each day. Simultaneously for each session, we collected sweat samples from the other forearm (left) for NMR analysis, using absorbent pads. Figure S13 (C and D) summarizes the results. The data reveal quantitative agreement between the data from our wearable sensors and NMR analysis to within experimental measurement uncertainties and expected variations between sweat collected from the right and left arms. Additional analysis of the data indicates that the glucose and lactate sensors show a maximum RSD of ~16 and ~10%, respectively. By comparison, commercial blood glucose meters (Accu-Chek Nano Blood Glucose Meter, Roche Diabetes Care Inc.) have RSD of ~10% (for ~85% of test strips). The uncertainty reported for NMR data represents the SD for NMR analysis of sweat samples in triplicates. The comparatively large uncertainties for glucose follow from its relatively low concentration in sweat. Over the course of these 2-day experiments, the glucose sensor response remains constant, while lactate sensor signal decreases by ~20%. These observations are consistent with data illustrated in fig. S13 (A and B).

That somebody wasn’t me. In recent months, hoarding supplies has gone from being the “Prepper” pastime of an eccentric social fringe fearing the end of the world to the thread binding Brexit-wary online communities together. Jack Monroe’s next cookbook, Tin Can Cook, is billed as a post-Brexit apocalyptic cookbook to get us through a worst case scenario with recipes using dry and tinned ingredients. Pre-orders are already high. Meanwhile, on Mumsnet, the parenting website, anxious mothers are trading tips on storing box hair dye and details of World Trade Organisation tariffs on cheese. A Facebook group called the “48% Preppers” is attracting about 100 new members a day (the title a nod to the Remain: Leave vote in the EU referendum). To add to the mood of panic, more than 600 people across Britain have bought a £300 “Brexit Box” since it was launched in December, according to its UK manufacturer, Emergency Food Storage.

SP Scientific reports upon the growing range of applications served by its premium Hotpack Stability Chambers. Available in a variety of customizable models, these systems provide precision temperature control from 2°C to 70°C and 20% to 96%RH with exceptional uniformity throughout the chamber and therefore can serve a diverse array of applications across a multitude of industries. Hotpack Stability Chambers are used in the pharmaceutical, automotive, and cosmetic industries to test the resilience of product samples under controlled temperature and humidity variables. Hotpack Stability Chambers are also used to test packaged food in sealed bags for moisture permeability. A leading national naval laboratory relies on Hotpack Stability Chambers to house its atomic clocks. Concrete and drywall manufacturers also use Hotpack Stability Chambers for their product testing. The Model 33R is a high-quality temperature/humidity controlled Stability Chamber, built to exceed the exacting standards required by such regulatory bodies as ICH, TAPPI, and MIL Spec. This Stability Chamber is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel and finished with an external protective finish. Each unit is equipped with four solid stainless-steel shelves secured by pilasters designed to bear substantial test loads. High density testing is accommodated by up to 19 available shelf positions. Outstanding accuracy and optimal performance on the Model 33R is achieved by a microprocessor-based PID controller which regulates user-settable temperature and humidity limits. An audio-visual alarm system is available to alert users to events such as power interruptions that may disturb test results. The proprietary Stability PLUS™ design of the Model 33R provides the gentle, even flow of conditioned air which ensures precision testing without the risk of temperature variations or inadvertent evaporation of samples. A comprehensive array of accessory options including access ports, PC interfaces, and chart recorders are available for this temperature controlled Stability Chamber.

SP Scientific is a leading manufacturer of controlled environmental rooms and chambers, freeze dryers / lyophilizers, aseptic vial washing and tray loading machines, temperature control / thermal management, centrifugal evaporators and concentrators, and glassware washers. The company sells its products through its reputable line of brands including Hotpack, Hull, PennTech, VirTis, FTS Systems, and Genevac. SP Scientific has ISO 9001:2008 registered production facilities in the USA and Europe.

Outside the US look at Lloyd’s of London. I have insured lots of expensive weird things through them for work in combat zones and they were always covered and the prices were very reasonable

“Are you sure about those?” a voice by my elbow says as I eye up 30 25p cans of beans. A polite stranger looks up, worried. “They’re completely flavourless,” she says. 

Earlier this month, NIST and NRC Canada distributed 29 of the 60 masses, one to each of the participating South and Central American countries. The remaining artifacts will be kept and monitored by NIST and NRC Canada until the study is complete.

If you're looking for something to collect, the Toy Story My Lip Balms ($9 each, us.innisfree.com) should be major contenders. There are three cute options, featuring Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, all with cartons that match their packaging. Jessie's flavor is "Wedding Peach Tea," Woody's is "Sunkissed Cherry Tea," and Buzz's is "Ruby Grapefruit Tea."

The following year it started its contract manufacturing business and has never looked back. Today it manufactures products for a wide range of companies, such as Dell, AMD, Acer, Samsung, Sapphire, LG, Microsoft, as well as its own brands: Zotac and Inno3D.
