Ceramic magnets – members of a distinguished family

In today’s technological Renaissance era scientist and academic researchers are in a never ending voyage to better our lives with the use of technological means. Aside from the more familiar technological progresses, not many know that a lot of devices we use almost every day contains a certain form of a magnet.

Magnets are not only the metal-like bodies that come in various shapes that help us hang memos on the fridge or help our youngsters study physics and chemistry in high school. There is a whole different territory that magnets cover. Man has succeeded in comprising chemical magnets inside a lab, from chemical substances and a production process that involves a great pressure and sintering.

These are called ferrite magnets – one of the most common forms in use is the ceramic magnets. Like the entire magnets’ distinguished family, these are made of chemicals like iron oxide, barium or strontium carbonate and are thus available at a lower cost in regards to other permanent magnets. Industries of all sorts use these magnets in their products.

Ceramic magnets- strength and reliability

There is a very good reason for the widely common use of these magnets in the industry. They are strong. Extremely strong. The word ‘strong’ automatically plants the sense of safety and long term relationship in our minds.

We can count on the ceramic magnets to work day after day without giving in to the aging and wear-and-tear natural processes that do affect others. In fact, these magnets are so strong that the only way to grind them (if needed of course) is using diamond wheels. And when it comes to diamonds, we can be sure this is some series stuff we’re dealing with here.

From that we can understand that the environment cannot harm them either. They don’t even require a protecting coat of some sort in order to avoid weather damages. The strength and reliability also come to live when we are facing the manufacturing process.

Depends on the requirements of the device or equipment we desire to integrate with the ceramic magnets, we can choose the direction of the magnetization (for example, even magnetization in all directions counts as Ceramic 1 grade) and choose the level of energy contained in them (the highest energy level is contained in anisotropic ceramic magnets which are defined as Ceramic 5-8 grades).

Ceramic magnets might surprise you

With all the aforementioned great advantages, both economical and physical, it’s no wonder that the ceramic magnets are a part of many devices for the home, the office, the motor and aeronautics fields and more.

Keep your heads up; they will most likely surprise you.

SEO

December 13th, 2010

Search Engine Optimization

In today’s technological world we were introduced to the wonderful opportunities-filled virtual world of the World Wide Web – the internet. We can see the revolution it has brought upon us in almost every sector of human lifestyle. Society does not look the same since the social networks started their reign on our lives.

The work market also doesn’t look the same. Instead of buying a place to set your store in, you can now buy a domain on the net (there are some free ones) and open up a virtual store.

Just like a regular store you would want to draw in as much customers as you can. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a tool that can assist you in doing so, and thus in keeping your store open for business.

By saying SEO we don’t mean that you should pay advertisers or hang banners all over the net. Sure, it can contribute in its own somewhat old fashioned way, but you can adapt to the internet technological environment and use the SEO technology to familiarize your online store within the potential customer’s browser. Go ahead and take the journey to the depths of the World Wide Web.

The best way to promote your online store

A bit confused? Well, have no fear. Once getting to know this powerful tool, you wouldn’t know how your store survived without SEO. First, you should enlighten yourself with some basic skills in HTML. It really isn’t as complicated as it sounds and you can only benefit from it, not only for SEO purposes.

After possessing the required technical skills, you should call all your writing skills (or someone else’s). Why, you ask? Well, SEO is usually working on written text. Any word that is entered by a distant user to one of the many search engines makes the engine search throughout the websites for this word.

If written correctly and appropriately, SEO will enhance your online store website’s chances to come up in higher places on the search results ladder. Think about it this way – you are optimizing your site’s chances to appear sooner in the search engine’s searching process.

The more experienced and professional you’ll get in SEO technology, you’ll increase your exposure chances, and isn’t it what every shop owner wants? In order to truly promote your online shop you’ll probably need to keep updating the SEO for it, as products are changing, thus new search keywords will be required. But don’t worry.

This process is not time consuming and you can think of it as time to time maintenance work to keep your store exposed to potential buyers.

Maximal exposure with SEO

The bottom line for every website really is to achieve the highest exposure rates. If you put something on the web it means you want people to see it, and SEO can take you there in the easiest way. Try SEO today, for a greater exposure and business in the future.

The truth about Israel

November 28th, 2010

Like the sand through the hour glass…

Israel as a country was established 62 years ago. Israel as a land, as a home for the Jewish people is alive and kicking for thousands and thousands of years.

In fact, amidst all three major religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – Judaism has the earliest documented history in the form of ancient scrolls, books, coins, medals, and cloths. Within the pages of those scrolls and books, some believe the words create a holy legitimization to the Jewish people who wish to populate the land of Israel.

The sand of human history flows through the hour glass and exposes new dilemmas for Jewish people to struggle with. The historical connection some Jewish people have to the holy land is undeniable, and is on its own a massive part of the truth about Israel, that is left unspoken.

This connection also appears in other religious scriptures, where Israel is mentioned as the land of Judaism, as a home for its Jewish sons and daughters. Either in the New Testament or in the Koran, you can see such notes. Unfortunately, that historical connection, that speaks to so many Jewish people in Israel and abroad, comes in contrast with the situation in the land of Israel today.

This contrast is due to the simple fact that other people also see Israel as their homeland, and they too rightfully claim for such historical connection. Judging who is entitled to the land of Israel is not simple.

The truth about Israel must be told

Thus, many people all around the world have a false impression and erroneous facts about Israel. As long as hateful organizations keep on feeding lies to the media, the one and only truth is kept quiet. And that truth is, that things are more complicated than they seem. People are more complicated than they seem.

Sometimes, it seems that whenever something is happening in Israel or throughout the world, which involves Muslims and religion, Israel is to blame. Israel is many times portrayed as the bad guy, while reality is different. Israel is not a blood thirsty monster who wants to delete all Muslims from the face of the Earth.

Israel is merely a country, a homeland, whose trying to survive in a hateful environment.

Always carry the truth about Israel in your heart

Although history is sometimes hard to remember, and can be misused, people who forget their history are bound to repeat it.

Don’t let the radical opinion take the place of the truth. Don’t let hate take the place of love. Don’t let war take the place of peace.

Try to be loyal to the truth about Israel: It is the home of people, flesh and blood, who make mistakes, but also want for themselves and their families what everybody wants – a simple peaceful life!

Communication Systems

October 18th, 2010

In The Beginning

Once upon a time when there were no “Systems” for communication people only used very simple ways to communicate. Usually, using verbal and signs only.

This meant that they were limited to very short distances – distances from which one person could see the other. Communication Systems were visual only.

Communication Systems began with the Telegraph in 1831. Samuel Morse (the Morse Code is named after him) invented the first repeater and the telegraph that is how the telegraph was born.

Following that, in 1837 Charles Wheatstone invented the “electric telegraph” which is the next step in Communication Systems and in 1849 England toFrance telegraph cable goes into service (however, is fails after 8 days). More and more improvements are made on the existing Communication system, the telegraph. In 1850 Morse patented the “clicking” telegraph and in 1851 a commercial telegraph service is established between France and England – one which does not fail and survives.

After that came the first transatlantic telegraph, followed by the transcendental telegraph line completed in 1861, and not long after that, in 1865, the first ever transatlantic cable begins its services.

Inevitably a commercial transatlantic cable was also completed between the England and Canada with a land extension to the United States.

That’s how it all began, and much more was to come in the decades and centuries that will follow.

The Following Years

How did the development of Communication Systems continue? How did it develop throughout the years? The typewriter was next….. What did we do before the typewriter. Well, the first typewriter was invented  in 1875 and the year after that the radio was invented independently by two people, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisa Grey (some claim that the radio was invented long before that, in 1857, by Antonio Meucci.). The Communication Systems giant AT&T is established in 1885, which is the first sign of how Communication Systems are to “rule” the world and eventually takeover our lives……

History in the making continues with the verification of the existence of radio waves (in 1887 by Henrich Hertz) and several more wonderful inventions which will design model our everyday lives into what they are today. Things such as the automated telephone switch, the radio transmitter/receiver and many more.

Entering the 20th Century

Communication Systems continued its rapid development, making our lives easier and more accessible. With every new Communication Systems invention and revelation, it seemed as if life wasn’t the same before it….

By 1924 the first video signal is broadcast and in 1927 the first commercial transatlantic radiotelephone service begins. Not long after , in1929, the CRT display tube is invented and the FM is invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1935.

In the years to come the blitzkrieg and WW II are made possible by wireless and mobile radio systems go into service.

A new era begins in 1957 when the first artificial satellite, Sputnik goes into orbit. The rest is history.

Neodymium Magnets and Medicine

September 15th, 2010

Therapy using Neodymium Magnets

Using magnets for therapy is considered a very safe and non-invasive method. This approach uses magnetic fields (Neodymium Magnets included) on the body for healing purposes. It quickens the body’s natural healing and gives the body natural pain relief without any side affects.

Using magnets medically is not new to the world of science. As “science fiction” as it sounds, magnets have been in use for thousands of years and their advantages enjoyed throughout the centuries, beginning with ancient eastern civilizations. Using different magnets (among others, Neodymium Magnets) assists in bodily pain relief, isolated as well as chronic.

How Neodymium Magnets are used for Therapy

Different magnets (like Neodymium Magnets) are used in various applications, from the reduction of scars to the treatment of the body’s internal organs. It is agreed among scientists that increased blood flow to the area under the footprint of the magnet is one of main influences magnetic treatment has on the human body.

This has been studied and re-tested several times in thermo graphic as well as nuclear medicine research. Additionally, there has also been proof of pain resistance phenomena in specific nerve fibers connected to the use of magnetic fields. Scientists have been able to show changes in the electrical ability of nerve cells that raise the pain threshold and ability to transmit impulses, using magnetic fields.

Athletes use the Power of Neodymium Magnets

Many athletes use magnets for therapy. Some of them use a magnetic mattress pad to sleep better while others use them to enhance their performance on the field.

Magnetic therapy and the use of different magnets including the powerful Neodymium Magnets has become the hottest trend among athletes in the professional arena. However, magnet fields go back to ancient times.

It is even believed that the ancient Olympic athletes have used them. In the same manner that the public is influenced by athletes in fashion and language, they are also influenced in the field of alternative healing.

It is estimated that the American people spend approximately $500 million per year on magnetic pads, bracelets, back wraps and many more products. The more athletes add brand-name magnets to their endorsements, the more the trend becomes lucrative to its manufacturers, together with sportswear and health food.

SatCom systems on earth and in the sky

September 15th, 2010

Different satellite communication systems and earth stations

All the satellite communication system stations on earth are the ground segments of these complex communication systems. The signals are sent to the ground stations and then, the most common next step is a connection between the stations and the end-user’s terminal using a terrestrial network.

Interestingly, there are some cases where there is no central ground station but instead the end-user’s terminal is directly connected to the satellite system which means that it is basically functioning as the ground station of the system. There are two main factors that affect the size of the earth station.

One is the amount of information being passed through them, and the other is the type of information for which the stations are being used (for example, telephone, television or data). Some ground segments send and receive information while others only receive.

The orbit of satellite communication systems

The orbit is the trip that the satellite takes around the earth. It can form different shapes. There are two specific satellite orbits that are considered most efficient and useful and so they are the orbits of choice. The one widely used with Russian satellites is an elliptical orbit inclined at an angle of 64° in relation to the equatorial plane. This orbit is particularly useful for satellite communication systems for mobile communication.

While orbiting in the ellipse, the satellite moves faster when it is closer to earth and slower when it is further away. Where the ellipse is closest to earth it is called the perigee and where it is furthest from earth it is called the apogee. The other useful orbit is the circular low earth orbit.

The altitude is several hundred kilometers and does not change. Because this orbit guarantees worldwide long-term coverage, it is the best orbit for observation satellites. During the hours when the communications satellite needs to be in use, it must be visible to the region which will be using it.

This amount of time can vary from a few hours a day to full 24-hour periods. When the period of function of the satellite communication system is not continuous, it is best that the hours are repeated at the same time every day.

The orbit of satellites is an extremely complex topic and is affected by many different factors, including the shape of the earth’s surface.
