]]>Kent, WA (PRWEB) July 20, 2007 -- OMAX Corporation, the leader in innovative abrasive waterjet cutting technologies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Axel Henning as its head of Research & Development. Dr. Henning brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the field of abrasive waterjet technology, with an extensive background in production and quality engineering.
Dr. Henning was among the first to develop techniques for precision machining, with special emphasis on increasing both cutting performance and cutting quality for various types of materials. On Monday, August 20th, from 1 - 2 p.m., Dr. Henning will present on the topic of "Cutting Edge Quality in Abrasive Waterjet Cutting" at the Annual Waterjet Technology Association (WJTA) Boot camp in Houston, Texas.
Since 1991, Dr. Henning has been working with abrasive waterjets, gaining his initial experience at the Hanover Waterjet Laboratory carrying out research on precision cutting heads and turning with abrasive waterjets. After earning his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Hanover in 1995, he joined Stuttgart University where he headed the Stuttgart Waterjet Laboratory performing contractual research work. Working with the renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Production Automation Engineering, Dr. Henning pioneered an improved modeling approach for automatically determining angular adjustments of the cutting head to control both lag and taper as, e.g. a function of speed (feed rate), in 5-axis waterjet machining. Over a decade ago, Dr. Henning implemented this approach into a then standard commercial CAD/CAM package, to significantly improve edge quality from 5-axis waterjet cutting. In 2001, Dr. Henning moved to the Fraunhofer Institute full time, to lead the research group for Flexible Production Technologies, including functional printing devices for live science applications, new production concepts with Rapid Manufacturing, and high pressure waterjet machining.
As the new Manager of R&D at OMAX, Dr. Henning's goals include introduction of further enhancements and innovations to abrasive water jet cutting performance and cutting qualities, and upholding the OMAX reputation for meeting customer's needs and expectations for ever evolving technologies suited to their particular cutting applications. He looks forward to continuing the establishment of abrasive jet machining as an accepted method of conventional machining, with great advantages for many users.
"Abrasivejet technology continues to mature by speaking the language of conventional machining technologies," Dr. Henning states. Already now, users find it offers almost unlimited potential, with always new and exciting opportunities to be discovered."
Dr. Henning joins a distinguished "think tank" of experts in abrasive jet technology at OMAX which consists of six PhD's who are among the leading minds in the field. They include the founders of OMAX, Drs. John Olsen and John Cheung, as well as Drs. Jay Zeng, Larry Zhang, Scott Veenhuizen, and Peter Liu.

New York (PRWEB) January 19, 2006 -- According with http://www.investmentu.com , Ben Bernanke (a.k.a. “Helicopter Ben”) -- who takes over from Greenspan in less than two weeks’ time -- earned his nickname when he suggested dropping money onto household lawns from helicopters. In his own words:
Not so.
It may not cost the government much, but cranking up the money machine costs Americans plenty, as it dilutes the dollar.
This, in turn, continues to impact gold prices. In fact, since Bernanke’s nomination as our next Fed Chairman, gold has gained 15.9% and recently hit a 25-year high.
“We believe that now is a good time to buy gold. The fundamentals spell a strong bull market for gold, and Bernanke is certainly doing his part to fan those fires with his weapon of choice -- the printing press,” says Rich Checkan, advisory panelist for Investment U, a free, educational, financial e-letter with more than 275,000 subscribers.
What’s behind Bernanke’s willingness to ramp up the money supply?
His problem is that he’s facing government deficits in excess of $8 trillion. That’s about $27,000 for every man, woman and child living in the United States. And it’s growing… Secretary John Snow has just asked Congress to raise the national debt ceiling, which 14 months ago was set at $8.1 trillion.
So what does a Fed Chairman do to get control of the largest debt in all of history? Simple: devalue the currency and you devalue the debt.
As the Fed starts flooding the market with new dollars, the price of gold will continue its march upward.
How high can we expect gold to be driven by this unending supply of new money?
We could see gold reach more than $3,000 an ounce. If that sounds outrageous, just consider that gold’s all-time high was $850 in 1980. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $2,159 an ounce. Advisory Panelists for Investment U agree: The likelihood of gold surpassing its all-time high is not only likely, but a highly conservative estimate…

ROCK ISLAND, IL (PRWEB) January 18, 2006 -– Inpro/Seal Company, the Rock Island, IL, based manufacturer of bearing isolators reports record sales for calendar year 2005. In addition, the company reports that advance orders, shipments and projections are far ahead of last year.
Product Enhancements From A Very Active R & D Program
Their R & D program, conducted from the worlds largest campus devoted to bearing isolation technology, continues to develop new products and enhancements to existing products that increase plant productivity with measurable bottom line results. To illustrate how active their R & D is, these are a few examples announced during 2005:
- MGS Motor Grounding Seal - a revolutionary new product that stops the damaging effects caused by destructive residual shaft currents on AC motors. Specifically developed for VFD controlled motor applications, the MGS prevents pitting, fluting, fusion craters and eliminates catastrophic motor failure while permanently protecting bearings from contamination.
- Articulating Powder Seal - Inpro/Seal now offers two sealing solutions the Air Mizer™-PS and the Articulating Air Mizer™- PS™ that provide a positive seal in applications were dry particulates, powders and bulk solids are handled, processed, packaged and stored.
- Oil Mist – significant enhancements and improvements were made to their tried and proven oil mist bearing isolator, renaming it the OM 32 Oil Mist Bearing Isolator Series. The OM 32 is the only known method that solves housekeeping issues to contain and keep stray most from entering the environment.
- VBXX-MT™ Series Bearing Isolators – offers machine tool users protection from coolant, chips, humidity and heat, that can cause spindle malfunction and expensive, unscheduled downtime. The highest performance is assured with a reverse interface that avoids direct impingement of coolant and chips.
- Plus –the only product that protects rolling element bearings on paper machines from the wet end to the dry end; IEEE-841 motors that use bearing isolators as part of their specification and the standard for bearing protection; ad hoc designs for gear boxes, axial shaft movement and one of a kind projects and more.
Important To Educate And Inform
According to David C. Orlowski, President and founder of Inpro/Seal Company and considered by many as the “father” of bearing isolation technology, “More and more lip seal users at the plant maintenance level (and above) have learned that there are misconceptions when it comes to sealing devices and that contact seals are not the only option when it comes to protecting bearings.”
Orlowski continued, “Over the last couple of years, we have conducted extensive research into the use of bearing protection on a market-by-market, application by application basis and found that people wanted to know more about bearing isolators. As a direct result, in 2005 we published a brochure entitled Introduction To Bearing Isolators……A Short Lesson In Bearing Isolation which has become the most successful literature we have ever developed.”
Maintenance People Are Fast Becoming Converts To Bearing Isolators
Orlowski went on to say that, “When lip seals were first introduced more than 70 years ago, they were the only kind of sealing device available. Convenient and inexpensive, they went on to capture a 99% market share. Today, lip seal manufacturers state that at best, they have a median, average life cycle of 1,844 hours or 77 days of operation, though some may survive up to 3,000 hours. This means that, in the real world, lip seals are not meant for heavy duty, industrial applications where rotating equipment is designed to run, uninterrupted for five years. Once end users find out that bearing isolators provide levels of protection unavailable in any kind of bearing protection device with bottom line implications, they get fed up with the 70-year-old technology they had been using and quickly become an Inpro/Seal convert. Another in-demand brochure, Are Lip Seals Obsolete?, provides more in-depth information.
Energy Aspects
Orlowski concluded, “When engaged with a rotating shaft, each contact seal, (lip seal and face seal) consumes, on average, 147 watts of power while operating. To show how significant this is, a plant with 600 operating pumps, can run up annual costs in excess of $117,000 for energy to drive the lip seals. Add to that the costs associated with downtime and you can again see why more and more end users are switching to Inpro/Seal bearing isolators.”
More On Motors
Since the Federal mandate for the use of premium efficiency motors (EPAct) was put into effect, more and more end users have opted for a significantly more reliable IEEE-841 Motor, developed by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. The IEEE-841 standard was written to establish additional guidelines to improve motor reliability, efficiency and performance. A very important feature of these motors is bearing protection. Realizing that the most economical motor is one that runs reliably and the avoidance of a single motor failure more than pays for the entire motor, the IEEE-841 Motor has become an industry standard.
VBXX-D, The Next Generation
When Inpro/Seal introduced their original VBX™ series fifteen years ago, it provided end users with a way to eliminate the root cause of premature equipment failure – contamination entering the bearing environment – while increasing productivity and reliability in the process. Since then, hundreds of thousands have been installed in plants around the world. Today, the VBXX-D the next generation in bearing isolators has taken hold offering the latest and best non-contacting labyrinth sealing technology to improve plant uptime and reliability with an ROI that more than doubles previous results with levels of bearing protection previously unavailable.
Industry Leading Internet Support
Inpro/Seal has also invested heavily into web sites dedicated to the education of bearing isolation technology with much downloadable information. When an end user visits www.inpro-seal.com or www.bearingisolators.com they will find a wealth of information related to both Inpro/Seal and bearing protection, including: specific applications, case histories, data sheets, facts and questions, specifications and more. Interactive spreadsheets include a Cost Justification Worksheet and Contact Seal Energy Consumption Calculator. Simply to complete, an end user merely fills in the blank to calculate ROI and benchmark repair costs.

Together with previously reported results from TWDDH-107F, high-grade gold mineralization has now been intercepted on Section 12800E in three holes over a 100 metre height along the M Zone, which remains open along strike to the west and to depth.
The high-grade gold mineralization occurs along the upper contact of the M Zone, mafic/ultramafic contact next to an altered felsic dyke. A summary of assay results immediately along the contact include:
Hole TWDDH-107 6.78 grams/tonne Au over 5.05 metres
Includes 21.90 grams/tonne Au over 1.20 metres
Hole TWDDH-107F 5.77 grams/tonne Au over 6.75 metres
Includes 22.54 grams/tonne Au over 1.40 metres
(Previously reported, 30 metres down-dip of TWDDH-107)
Hole TWDDH-107H 10.29 grams/tonne Au over 4.00 metres
Includes 46.40 grams/tonne Au over 0.70 metres
(35 metres down-dip of TWDDH-107F)
Drilling along Section 12800E further demonstrates the M Zone Structure’s consistent ability to contain high-grade gold mineralization along strike and down-dip. To date significant gold concentrations along the M Zone have now been discovered over a 4.0 kilometre strike length.
TWDDH-107 was collared on Section 12800E at 21530N bearing 193 degrees, dipping 69.2 degrees, ending at 1175.35 metres with the end of the hole bearing 203 degrees and dip at 49.7 degrees. Posted below in Table #1 are assay results from the M Zone Structural Corridor which continues to return high-grade gold values along the M Zone’s upper contact and related hanging wall quartz zones. Wedging of TWDDH-107A, TWDDH-107F and TWDDH-107H began around the 600 metre interval of TWDDH-107.
Estimated true width of mineralization is approximately 70% of core length as reported in above table.
Altogether, three wedge holes have been completed from pilot hole TWDDH-107. The upper most hole TWDDH-107A, wedged up, testing the M Zone 30 metres above TWDDH-107 returning 3.62 grams/tonne gold over 0.60 metres along the ultramafic/mafic contact, cutting off the up-dip extent to the high-grade M Zone. The remaining holes TWDDH-107, TWDDH-107F and TWDDH-107H all contain high-grade gold mineralization along the upper contact of the ultramafic/mafic M Zone (as reported above) and are spaced 30 and 35 metre intervals.
Gold mineralization along the upper M Zone contact remains open to depth with the down-dip trend of hangingwall quartz zones apparently entering into the M Zone about 30 metres beneath TWDDH-107H. Therefore, further drill testing down-dip of TWDDH-107H has been recommended by Detour Lake geologists and will be initiated during the 2006 winter drilling program.
Trade Wind’s Gowest Project is located approximately 5.0 km west of Placer Dome’s Detour Lake Mine, which historically produced 1.7 million ounces of gold. Trade Winds is earning its 60% interest in project from Gowest Amalgamated Ltd. (TSX-V: GWA), one of its three optioned Detour Lake Properties located in one of Canada’s most prolific gold producing belts, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, situated approximately 160 kilometres northeast of Timmins, Ontario.
Mr. Lorne Warner, P. Geo. Is the qualified person for Trade Winds’ Detour Lake Projects. Trade Winds, as operator of the projects, has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. All fire assay results are being provided by ALS Chemex.

Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) January 15, 2006 -- Solomon Resources Ltd. (SRB:TSX-V) is pleased to announce the results from its second phase of drilling at the Bayantsagaan Gold Project, located 110 km northwest of Ulaanbaatar and 35 km southwest of Centerra Gold’s Boroo gold mine. Solomon completed three additional core holes totalling 618 m in December 2005, stepping out on mineralization identified in the first phase of drilling on the property. The December drill program was suspended due to winter conditions and the seasonal break.
Drilling will resume with a ten hole RC drill program when weather conditions improve and will test the strike extensions of the Bayantsagaan and the Sujegtei gold zones, most notably 600 m to the northeast where these two mineralized systems intersect (see attached Map).
Bayantsagaan Gold Zone
The Bayantsagaan gold zone strikes N10°W and dips 60º NE. Gold mineralization has been traced 300 m down-dip over a strike length of 300 m in five prior drill holes. One additional hole completed in this second phase of work (BT-11) was collared 50 m to the north and intersected the Bayantsagaan zone approximately 310 m down dip. The following significant results were obtained:
From To (m) Width g/t Au
BT-11 21.00m 43.65m 22.65m 0.25g/t
59.70m 67.40m 7.70m 0.23g/t

360.70m 373.80m 13.10m 0.30g/t
Drill hole BT-11 confirms the extension of the both the higher grade main gold zone, and the presence of extensive low grade mineralization within subsidiary structures throughout the intrusive. The system contains a higher grade structural zone that remains open both along strike and at depth, is continuous between drill hole intercepts and is enveloped by lower grade material.
Sujegtei Gold Zone
The Sujegtei gold zone is a covered mineralized zone discovered by Solomon during the first phase of drilling when drill hole BT-08 intersected 20.9 m @1.07g/t Au. The hole was collared to test a northeast trending structural zone, interpreted beneath colluvium (SRB news release November 2, 2005). Two additional holes were attempted in December to determine the trend of mineralization in the subsurface. Drill hole BT-10 was drilled beneath BT-08 to the east, and BT-12 was drilled to the northwest. Both holes failed to reach their targeted depth due to extensive faulting and broken ground indicative of a major fault system. The following significant results were obtained:
From To (m) Width g/t Au
BT-10 20.20m 24.00m 3.80m 0.57 g/t
BT-12 75.80m 86.00m 10.20m 0.18 g/t
89.60m 100.60m 11.00m 0.33 g/t
102.60m 112.80m 10.20m 0.19 g/t
Based on these results, it can be inferred that the Sujegtei gold zone strikes northeast with a sub-vertical dip. The zone remains open to the northeast, southwest, and at depth. Drilling was stopped in mid-December due to winter conditions and the seasonal break.

“It’s actually a pretty neat idea. Once the page starts filling up with advertisers it has a certain artistic quality to it”, commented Eric after seeing the similar site being run in England.
The web page will exist for the next 5 years unchanged with the exception of advertisers buying up space. This is critical for anyone who wants to immortalize their presence on the Internet. Most advertisements only last for a few seconds on a page before it’s rotated out for another banner. On www.pixels4sagominers.com an advertisement is permanently fixed on a spot on the page.
On top of the advertising a company will receive they will know that a large portion of the money they paid is being used to help the families of the miners who lost their lives at the Sago mine.
