Retrofitting to Last – Selecting Optimal Wildlife Protection Products
Many power pylons in raptor habitat pose high electrocution risk to raptors, which can be mitigated with insulation products. Retrofitting may require a service outage and can be expensive; labor costs are often far greater than materials.

Feasibility analysis of novel Maglev EDM by comparing with conventional micro EDM [PDF]
Abstract EDM is the most popular unconventional machining process. The present technology of EDM consists of a pulsed or capacitive type power supply in which the pulsed type power supply is more popular and effective. The following essential component of an EDM is its servo mechanism, which controls the gap between the electrodes and
