Cambridge Mechatronics Ltd (CML) has developed Zero Hold Power (ZHP) actuator technology which enables focus correction at very low average power consumption. By leveraging the high force-to-weight ratio of SMA this actuator architecture only draws power to move between positions. Therefore, with ZHP technology, the average power consumption is drastically reduced, offering a clear benefit over traditional focus correction mechanisms which often demand constant power, draining the battery. Therefore, this technology is ideal for applications requiring occasional position changes and are constrained on battery size.
About CML: Cambridge Mechatronics Limited (CML) is a world-leading developer of mechanical, optical, electrical, silicon, and software designs for system-level solutions using its Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) platform technology. Actuator solutions based on SMA wire (thin as hair) can be controlled to submicron accuracy. These actuators are particularly suited to applications requiring high precision and force levels, in a fast, compact, and lightweight design.
I like the vertical tabs but there needs to be an option on which side to dock them. Having them forced to the outside of the viewport means there is extra mouse travel required to access them. In V7 I have the UI configured for minimal travel to access pretty much everything.
In 1996, the extended armed conflict in Guatemala between army and guerilla forces, an unequal struggle more than three decades long, ended with the signing of the Firm and Lasting Peace Accords. These UN-brokered accords included a promise by the government to "design and implement a national civic education programme for democracy and peace, promoting the protection of human rights, the renewal of political culture and the peaceful resolution of conflicts" (United Nations General Assembly, 1997, p. 11). As in many postconflict settings, both internal and external actors viewed the educational system as central to this effort, creating a new national curriculum to achieve this end.
A comparative examination of the impact of development on families and gender roles in third world countries. Will include consideration of general issues (e.g., factors affecting family reproduction decisions, women in the formal and informal labor force, etc.) and in-depth study of gender and family in one or more countries. Cross-listed with WGS 350. Fulfills Cultures - Global Perspectives. Fulfills one of the Issues requirements. Offered winter semester. Prerequisite: WRT 150 with a grade of C (not C-) or better. 3 cr
A generalized pathology of chronic mendacity seems to be a structural condition of global capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century. Previous volumes of the Socialist Register have analyzed the imbrication of national states and economies in the American neoliberal imperial order, and the stresses this generates within them, as well as between them. What has becolme increasingly clear is that it is not just falling in line with the increasingly crude, militarized geopolitics of the imperium that threatens the legitimacy of governments that join 'coalitions of the willing'. Equally profound, and perhaps ultimately more serious, problems of legitimacy are created by the relentless pressure of the market forces unleashed by global neoliberalisin, and the ecological degradation and social dislocation they are generating. These legitimacy problems are reflected in the unprecedented levels of secrecy, obfuscation, dissembling and downright lying that now characterize public life.
