<p></p>
<div><strong>Status:</strong> Open<br />
<b>Deadline:</b> Dec-17-14<br />
<b>Award:</b> $5,000 <span>(to be equally divided between members of the winning team)</span></div>
<p><br />
<span>There are many circumstances when an injured patient must be quickly removed from a dangerous environment such as a conflict zone or disaster site. Pararescue Jumpers (PJ) must bring all needed equipment with them and be able to perform in any environment (rocky, swampy, desert, wet, snow- or ice-covered, urban; in all weather conditions) to quickly stabilize the injured and evacuate them to safety. The faster the patient can get to a care facility the better their survival rate. </span><br />
<br />
<span>This challenge is to design an alternative stretcher/carrier that is compatible with the RiteRescue tactical harness system and provides an improvement on the current prototype design. The stretcher/carrier must be able to allow a single PJ operator to secure and transport a 250 lbs. patient to a safe extraction point. The stretcher/carrier will have to be light yet durable, able to be stowed compactly yet be set up quickly and the patient secured rapidly, and permit the PJ operator to carry/drag the loaded stretcher/carrier over many different types of terrains. Designs will be evaluated on durability, weight, minimum storage volume, and ease of assembly. </span><br />
<br />
<span>Designs should be submitted in CAD format, specifically in SolidWorks or any format that can be converted to SolidWorks (e.g., AutoCAD). Drawings are an acceptable format for submission but will take longer to evaluate.</span></p>

<p class="discussion details full">We're currently producing these by hand using formers around a mandrel from small cut pieces of stainless steel. However the process is very labour intensive and the end result is far from perfect or uniform. I'm reasonably happy with the stainless steel cold working process as it produces really hard tube (required).<br />
<br />
The tube is produced flared on one end so that it can be encapsulated in plastic, open split tube (not welded), 3.0mm ID, 0.3mm wall, 30mm long from flat ribbon stainless steel shim.<br />
<br />
We have abandoned the idea of drawing or using a series of rollers as they would then need to be cut to length and deburred - not easy supporting a 3mm open/unwelded tube.<br />
<br />
I guess we are looking to design some sort of pliers/former type tool and appreciate it may be a multi-stage process;<br />

2. simultaneously side + downward pressed around a mandrel<br />

I have a project that I am working on and part of that involves adding a rubberized coating to a hand tool. The rubber is being added mainly to give the tool grip, but I'd also like to make the rubber conductive and add electronics to determine which part of the tool is being touched.</p><p>What I''m thinking of if doping the urenthane (isocyanate) with the same materials that are used to make paint conductive. The type of paint that is used to coat the inside of electronic equipment for EMC protection. Problem is, I don't know what that doping material is nor do I know how much to add to rubber, or if it would interfere with the binding characterisitcs of the urethane if the incorrect amount is added.</p><p>So, does anyone out there know if this can be done? Can a urethane based, rubber coating be doped to make it conductive? The higher the conductiveity the better.</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Dick</p></div>Low to medium volume touch screen suppliershttp://www.engineerslooking.com/need-stuff/low-to-medium-volume-touch-screen-suppliers2014-09-09T06:36:10.000Z2014-09-09T06:36:10.000ZRichard Savoiehttp://www.engineerslooking.com/members/0w2bf9keu4uke<div><p>Hi ELFS!</p>
<p>I'm having trouble identifying reasonably priced sources of medium volume (500+ per year) touch screens.</p>
<p>It might be that my particular screen is just more expensive because we need 4:3 aspect ratio - a dinosaur.  However, it's for a new design of a portable consumer product.</p>
<p>Minimum specs:</p>
<p>10+" diameter</p>
<p>4:3 aspect</p>
<p>800x600 resolution</p>
<p>5 wire resistive touch</p>
<p>The lower power, the better.  Everything else is flexible. We are in Australia, so I'm happy to deal with anywhere in the world and either via distributor or direct to manufacturer.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p class="discussion-body">- toward solar-cells farms connected to cities's electrical smart-grids or,<br />
- to beam next generation high-flying electrical wide-body aircrafts.<br />
<br />
In order to avoid the mass-and-cost penalty imposed by the use of large space-based radiators as heat-sinks to dissipate heat-losses due to the conversion of photovoltaïc-originated electical power to light by using laser-diodes light then focused in a bunddle of optic-fibers emitting a hightly-concentrated beam, the think tank group has raised the expectation of a new system that could avoid the use of optronic devices and that could only use light beams waveguiding principle from the reflector to the optic-fiber.<br />
<br />
The idea is that any hexagon cell of the large-base reflector could focus and concentrate sun-beams directly inside an optic fiber by using purely optical-based device.<br />
<br />
The space group needs energy-harvesting specialists to raise its skills in energy-harvesting systems.</p>

<p>I have been on a long and exhausting search to find a <strong>reputable</strong> manufacturer/ distributor of a universal wall outlet.

Everywhere I've seen these sold have been Chinese manufactured. Also, I am not interested in adaptors just the wall socket. If you know of somewhere I can find this from a <strong>reputable</strong> distributor it would be appreciated.</p>

<p>We need to apply a heat-activated adhesive tape (3/4” and 1”) to the edge of a composite material consisting of polyester foam, PVC, and a nylon stretch fabric. The material is fabricated in two widths, and is cut into a variety of shapes, which are used for bracing of body parts. <br />
<br />
We’re looking for something that can apply pressure – we’re thinking spring-loaded rollers - and 250°F heat along this edge width, and if it can feed and guide the tape to a centered position on the material, so much the better.<br />
<br />
We're talking to a few machinists, but if anyone on the list has any vendors, equipment types, or other recommendations to offer, we'd appreciate it!<br />
<br />
Many thanks!<br />
