Live feeds

One of the major innovations in recent years is the use of pulsed pressure through the gates to introduce and control the orientation of the structure (or fillers) in injection moulded products. A special manifold is attached to the machine nozzle as illustrated in Fig. 4.46. This diagram relates to the double live feed of melt although up to four pistons, capable of applying oscillating pressure may be used. 

The significance of such spatial arrays lies in the behavioral responses of insects foraging in these trees. If certain leaf types are unavailable while others are preferred, then such spatial arrays force insects to move about in search of good feeding sites (29). For insects which spend much time (or all of their lives) feeding in one place (sessile species, such as aphids), this search is performed once after a suitcible site is located, these insects are restricted to one portion of their... 

The application of this technique to talc-reinforced polypropylene has shown that the microstructure of platelets and the resulting physical properties of the moulded composites are markedly affected [171)]. With two live feeds located at either end of the mould cavity, the talc platelets exhibited strong talc platelet alignment throughout the thickness of the moulding in the direction of the ap-...

All hypotheses of evolution force us to accept transitional forms of some kind of living, feeding, and reproducing eggs that would survive 3 billion years to metamorphose into a living reproducing animal. Smoothness of phenotype transitions is not observed and all other explanation comes at a price. 

Scorim Process or SP (Cinpres-Scorim), Rheomolding Process or RP (Thermold s), and the Press Alpha Process or PAP (Sumitomo Heavy Industries and Sankyo Chemical Engineering of Japan) processes are examples of this method. The SP multi-live feed molding process where two packing pistons oscillate 180° out of phase and eliminate weld lines, etc. The RP system provides 3-D orientation based on the concept of melt rheology as a function of vibration frequency and amplitude as well as temperature and pressure. The equipment utilizes piston/type melt accumulators set up adjacent to the melt stream of the plasticator. Piston oscillates back and forth. The PAP system uses compression pins that are... 

The most commonly identified beneficial effect of LAB as live feed supplements is their role in resistance to infection, particularly in the GI tract. It has been proposed that these organisms can prevent infection through competitive exclusion (CE) or other mechanisms against pathogenic bacteria in the animal intestine (Bailey, 1987 Pivnick and Nurmi, 1982). According to Bailey (1987), competitive exclusion implies the prevention of entry of... 

Rearing of the larvae is then managed in specifically designed tanks, often necessitating provision of specific larval diets that include both live feeds (microalgae, rotifers, and Artemia) and manufactured feeds. For most of the crustaceans,... 

In these circumstances it may be appropriate to employ dedicated data migration tools and experts in using them. These often provide a live feed of data into a new enviromnent and functionality to throttle the data extraction process so as not to impact the hve environment. 

Security robots with video surveillance were first used to patrol a large-scale sporting event at the World Cup in Berlin, Germany, in 2006 (Figure 17-17). The onboard video and thermal imaging sensors can send a live feed to a security office. The robot, OFRO, also uses global positioning system satellites to steer and keep accurate records of its exact location. Manufactured by Robowatch,... 

Copepoda A class of crustaceans occurring in marine and freshwater habitats. Copepods are usually 0.5-2 mm long and lack both a carapace and compound eyes. Copepods are important members of plankton some are free-living, feeding on microscopic organisms others are parasitic. A familiar freshwater genus is Cyclops, so named because the members have a single median eye.
