Friction Hinges in a Fixed Position

Have you ever slammed a door on accident and wished you could have had a hinge that held steady in an open fixed position, allowing for less wiggle room? To more easily visualize this instance, imagine the free flowing motion of a door in your house or office. Then contrary think about the way a laptop case hinge functions. Both are responsible for opening and closing, but each hinge performs differently. The door moves fluidly with no guarantee of staying open in a fixed position. The laptop case also moves smoothly, but does not require a prop to hold open in one position, it can self sustain an open position effortlessly.

Step Up Transformers for Reliable Power

As a society, electricity is in some ways our life blood. Relying on electricity for work, communication, industry and travel are only some instances that are affected. To properly operate, not all electronic products need the same amount of power. In some cases, it is necessary to increase (step up) electromotive force (EMF) or voltage. In order to accomplish this task a step up of power from a transformer is needed. There is a variety of step up transformers that are able to accomplish this effort and each is of varying size. Large transformers seen outdoors on electrical poles or outside of power plants are amongst the larger transformers. On the other hand, they may be as small as a transformer that plugs into a wall that is used to convert power for an x-ray machine that requires more voltage than a standard socket offers.
