as “trigger finger” or “trigger thumb”‚ involves the pulleys and tendons in the hand that bend the fingers. The tendons work like long ropes connecting the muscles of the forearm with the bones of the fingers and thumb. In the finger‚ the pulleys are a series of rings that form a tunnel through which the tendons must glide‚ much like the guides on a fishing rod through which the line (or tendon) must pass. These pulleys hold the tendons close against the bone. The tendons and the tunnel have a slick

these uprights by using 2 short flat pieces connecting the base and uprights at a 45° angle. Our arm is the piece most of the work was focused on. We tried to maximize the weight on the weight side of the arm‚ while minimizing the weight on the basket side of the arm. This was done by adding multiple brackets and hardware on the weight side‚ and by using lightweight pieces on the basket side. The basket was used and tied into the end of the arm‚ and a metal rod is used to hold the loop of the basket to

Electric Fields Inside of Charged Conductors Charged conductors that have reached electrostatic equilibrium share a variety of unusual characteristics. One characteristic of a conductor at electrostatic equilibrium is that the electric field anywhere beneath the surface of a charged conductor is zero. If an electric field did exist beneath the surface of a conductor (and inside of it)‚ then the electric field would exert a force on all electrons that were present there. This net force would begin

The Role of Surface Engineering in the Automotive Industry The subject of surface engineering in the automotive industry has developed significantly in the last decade. A large driving force for the need for surface treatments has been energy consumption. 30 per cent of all energy consumed in the European Union derives from transportation activities‚ relying solely on fossil fuels. Due to this‚ and the push to reduce the emissions of polluting gases‚ car manufacturers must produce increasingly

In this article‚ I’ll discuss the basic idea behind an engine and then go into detail about how all the pieces fit together‚ what can go wrong and how to increase performance. The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore‚ a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally. Two things to note: There
