The future development impetus for the internal combustion engine will focus on the reduction of CO2 emissions. This is dependent upon fuel consumption, which in turn is determined by the internal engine friction. The goal of form honing is a form optimized cylinder bore under typical operating conditions. Gehring has developed a surface finishing process for internal combustion engines that does not target a cylindrical bore shape.

Manager's Desk: Don't assume that experienced, well-paid employees will cost you more money in the long run.

I'm not a morning person. If it were up to me, all alarm clocks on Earth would be rounded up and smashed with a giant hammer, their electronic corpses left to rot in a landfill far, far away from my home in Tucson, Arizona. I'm not sure what people on other planets do about the whole alarm clock situation, but I assume they are more advanced than humans and therefore late sleepers like me. Unless my dad's predictions about the looming extraterrestrial invasion are accurate, however, we'll never know.

Penn Stainless Products recently installed a new Koike Aronson Versagraph Millennium Series plasma cutting system (Model 6300) at its Jackson Center facility. The new unit provides western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio the same high-quality cuts available through PSP's Quakertown facility at shorter delivery times. The system utilizes Hypertherm HPR800XD HyPerformance plasma technology for a clean, consistent cut up to 2.5" thick, and features an extra-wide cutting envelope of 10 feet wide x 40 feet long.

Thin cut-off wheels from PFERD cut faster than conventional wheels, leaving a cleaner cut with minimal burr formation. They are ideally suited for thin-gauge sheet metal, thin-walled tubing and small-diameter cross sections. These cool-cutting wheels exhibit excellent aggressiveness and service life and are ergonomically designed to minimize vibration, noise and dust.
