Hungry For Change? Your Customers Are.
They want great features offered in the refrigerated products they buy, like
environmentally friendly and GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) materials.
Better Products. Better for the Environment.
SUSTAI NABLE | ENVI RONMENTALLY BENI GN | ENERGY EFFI CI ENT | HYGI ENI CALLY SAFE
Foam Supplies product Ecomate provides GRAS approved foam
insulation for various types of refrigerated products, like walk-in
freezers, refrigerated cases and residential refrigerators. Its also
green and a competitive replacement for all blowing agents.
Ecomate meets all current and future regulatory requirements, being
both U.S. EPA and SNAP approved to replace HFCs and SMOG
producing hydrocarbons. In fact, FSI customers in 2009 alone reduced
potential greenhouse gas emissions by 1.2 billion pounds of CO2e,
which is 3x more than any competitor.
*
So, be kind to the environment
and your customers. Make the change to Ecomate.

I
came across a Linked In discus-
sion recently, titled Designer versus
Engineer. Understanding the Enemy.
It was a very interesting conversation, in
which many of the responding peers talked
about clashes or differences between indus-
trial designers and engineers.
Not surprising is that many companies
are opting to cut corners and perhaps skip
some collaboration or testing steps in order
to get a product out the door. One respon-
dent had the following to say, The sad part
is that many industries have finally realized
this deficiency and developed a solution
such as PLM for removing the communi-
cation obstacles, but guess what? People
are cutting corners, in order to speed up
the process, and/or cut cost, and of course
they are cutting off the chance to identify
the all-necessary information that needs to
be communicated among these people, in
order to assure success.
Many people mentioned a communica-
tions or language problem among engi-
neers, industrial designers, and manufac-
turing, testing and production workers.
Communication issues may be a problem
found in all industries and businesses
whether or not its manufacturing
however, when a company is investing big
money into a product design that will be
purchased by a large number of consum-
ers, companies need to quickly come up
with a solution.
For example, just this year, Frigidaire
and Electrolux issued a recall for its ICON
Electric Smooth Top Cook Tops and Slide-
In Ranges due to a fire hazard; Goldstar
and Comfort-Aire recalled a dehumidifier
due to fire reports; GE issued a recall for its
front-load washers due to fire and shock
hazards; and BSH recalled its Thermador
Built-In Ovens because of potential fire
hazard.
Do any of these recalls have to due with
a failed design, poor execution or poor col-
laboration during the manufacturing life
cycle? I dont know. But taking a look at
who designed the product, who specified
the materials, and who facilitated commu-
nication between design, production and
testing, would be a good start toward find-
ing a potential problemand making sure
it doesnt happen again.
Its a fine balance between managing
production and manufacturing costs, espe-
cially with potential recall costs a possibil-
ity if the product isnt executed to spec.
Working and communicating effectively
with other departments has always been a
challenge in the manufacturing industry.
The company must do everything it can
during the design and manufacturing pro-
cessto ensure flawless execution and a
reliable, finished product.

arren Wenn of Microchip Tech-
nology Inc. and Chris McAneny
of Future Electronics engaged
in a practical design exercise to take ex-
tremely low power tracking devices to the
top of Africas Mt. Kilimanjaro, during
two separate climbs.
Microchip engineering intern Tim Mof-
fat built the devices, which tracked the
climbers locations via GPS while continu-
ously taking various measurements, such as
temperature and barometric pressure, and
operated for the duration of the climb on
two Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batter-
ies. The devices are based on Microchips
8-bit PIC18LF14K50 microcontroller, fea-
turing the companys eXtreme Low Power
technology.
During preparations for the climbs,
Wenn, McAneny and Moffat launched a
joint, limited-series blog on the EE Life
Community site from EE Times, called Ex-
treme Low Power in an Extreme Location.
The goal of the blog is to provide en-
gineers with an entertaining way to learn
about designing a device that has to op-
erate in extreme conditions with a lim-
ited battery-power budget. Additionally,
McAneny raised money and awareness
for the Everyman Male Cancer Charity,
in honor of his son, who won a battle
with testicular cancer.
The tracking devices are designed to
run for more than two months on a single
charge from two AA batteries. System com-
ponents include a GPS receiver, a barometer
and a temperature sensor, which are used to
log altitude, latitude, longitude, UTC time,
barometric pressure and temperature.
Now that the climbs are complete, visit

Design to develop a new paper shredder
for their Black & Decker line, the result
was the iShred. Industrial designer Joseph
Lee came up with the minimal and sleek
form. The tall, tapering iShred has a verti-
cally oriented paper feed that is meant to
increase safety by limiting direct access to
the shredders blades and it also allows for
the products slim, conical form.
Consumers expect a black or beige
box that they have to shove under a desk,
said Lee, We updated not only the shred-
ders styling, but also the users experi-
ence operating it.
The design team also examined the us-
ers ease of emptying a full bin. The bins
round shape was developed as a solution
to the uneven pile of shreds that often
form in rectangular shredder bins; in-
stead, the shreds fall into a naturally even
pile, filling the bin efficiently. With the aid
of an integrated handle, the shredder lifts
off of the 1.5-gallon-capacity paper bin
with ease. The fluted bin directs the paper
shreds in a narrow and controlled flow to
help avoid messy emptying.
The iShred crosscuts up to six sheets of
paper simultaneously into confetti-sized
pieces and includes standard features
such as protection from overheating, a
full bin indicator, 68 dB noise level, and
jam-free credit card and staple shredding.
By collecting and monitoring data from 30

SENSorS at ItS StEam LINES
By installing wireless sensors and replac-
ing faulty traps along the 12 miles of
steam lines at Oak Ridge National Labo-
ratory (ORNL), officials expect to save as
much as $675,000 per year. With 1,600
steam traps, which normally open slightly
to discharge condensed steam with a neg-
ligible loss of live steam, the problem oc-
curs when a trap fails and that failure goes
undetected and unrepaired, said Teja Ku-
ruganti, a member of the computational
sciences and engineering division at the
laboratory.
Manual inspections of each trap is a
daunting and sometimes dangerous, but
by collecting and monitoring data ini-
tially from 30 sensors at five steam trap
locations, the team of researchers expects
to demonstrate significant savings.
Steam is used at ORNL, industrial sites
and universities throughout the nation
for heating and cooling buildings. A De-
partment of Energy study published in
2005, Steam Trap Performance Assess-
ment, identified faulty steam traps as a
major source of energy waste at industrial
sites.
Working with Johnson Controls,
ORNL has already repaired or replaced
any faulty traps, and is considering ex-
panding the wireless sensor system by in-
stalling hundreds of sensors.
The installation of wireless sensors
throughout much of the steam system
can give us an early warning of compo-
nent failures or impending failures, said
Engineered with ]ou in mind.

Back at the turn of the millennium, modular steam boiler systems that
help reduce energy costs by distributing demand across a number of
smaller units were a relatively new concept in the American market.
Industrial-size steam boilers that could go from a cold start to ready
in five minutes were somewhat unheard of. When Greenwich Hospital
in Greenwich, Conn., decided that it was time to build a new steam-
generation plant, they considered this concept not only for its huge energy-
savings potential, but also for its lower greenhouse gas emission rating.
The hospital decided to implement a Miura EX-100BHP steam boiler
because of its compact design, which required half the space of a tra-
ditional fire-tube configuration and, as a result, cost less to install. The
design allowed the extra space to be used for important clinical functions.
In 1998, Greenwich Hospital chose a multiple installation configuration
of seven Miura EX-200BHP boilers to provide steam for the hospitals
heat, hot water and sterilization systems.
Twelve years later, advancements in boiler technologyand the ad-
dition of a micro-turbine-based co-generation plant, which changed
Greenwich Hospitals steam-load profilemade it possible for the
hospital to further decrease its energy consumption with additional
fine-tuning of its steam-generation output. The move, which increases
economy and further reduces emissions, consisted of removing one of
the hospitals Miura EX-200BHP units and replacing it with a new Miura
EX-100BHP unit. This substitution allowed Greenwich Hospital to more
exactingly dial-in on demand and bring only the needed capacity online.
We have been using a multiple installation of modular Miura boil-
ers for about 12 years, said Stephen Carbery, vice president, facilities,
design and construction at Greenwich Hospital. When we first installed
these boilers, modularity was a new concept for us and, as with any new
technology, there was a learning curve. But, once the new system was
installed and optimized, we could really see the value of being able to
switch boilers on and off as needed instead of having large units idling in
standby. Currently, we have calculated that the Miura system is saving us
approximately 20% on our energy costs compared with the fuel economy
of other comparable systems.
Miura boilers have the ability to go from a cold start to a full head of
steam in five minutes or less. By heating smaller quantities of water in
its once-through fin-tube design, the boilers can eliminate lengthy start-
up times necessary to heat large volumes of water in larger boilers that
mostly idle in stand-by mode to stay ready. The further advantage of not
having to calibrate fuel- and air-combustion ratios over the entire operat-
ing range is also an advantage, as the boilers only go from off to low fire
and then high fire.
After a recent audit of the facilitys energy consumption, the hospital
realized that during certain part-load conditions there was still a small
amount of unused online capacity. For example, if demand required 300
BHP of output, two 200 BHP units would be brought online to meet that
demand. That left a remaining 100 BHP of capacity fired but unused and
a new, smaller capacity boiler aided
Greenwich Hospital in saving 20% in energy
costs. Photo: Miura Boiler

BoIlEr for ENErGy SavINGS
wasting energy. To eliminate that situation,
the hospital increased the systems flexibility
to allow it to meet demand increases in 100
BHP, instead of 200 BHP, increments. The
advantage of this arrangement is evident for
demands such as 425BHP.
With the addition of the 100 BHP unit
into our system, we can now make even finer
adjustments to our steam output and reduce
the amount of fired, but unused capacity,
said Carbery. Basically, why fire 600 BHP
when you only need 425 BHP? Instead, with
the new 100BHP Miura unit, we can fire 500
BHP to meet that demand.
Greenwich Hospital is a 174-bed commu-
nity hospital, serving lower Fairfield County,
Conn. and Westchester County, N.Y. It is an
academic affiliate of Yale University School of
Medicine and a member of the Yale New Ha-
ven Health System. <

along the side of the range to maximize
the surface area for cooking. The electric
cook tops are also available in a second
model with slide-and-touch controls, and
a unique Peacock Tail bar that visually
represents the power levels of the burner
to achieve cooking precision.
The gas cook tops are available in 30-
and 36-inch widths and are made with
more than 90% recyclable components.
The electric cook tops come in 24-, 30-
and 36-inch models. The 24-inch electric
cook tops are one of the few on the market
in this size, and it also offers a dual zone
for cookingproviding flexibility to set a

uses high sensibility (-102dBm) and high
transmission power radios (100mW), which
allow the platform to achieve distances up to
12 km in line of sight configurations using
the 868 MHz and 900 MHz ZigBee modules
and up to 7 km using the 2.4 GHz band.
For situations with very difficult wire-
less connectivity, each sensor device can
store more than 21 million different sen-
sor measurements in its internal memory.

Selco Products
The companys Turnkey Solutions meet
OEM requirements for customized,
ready-to-install mechanical thermostats,
thermistors and electronic controls. Special
configurations can include epoxy seal and
over-mold, mylar sleeving, lead bending,
connectors, brackets, wire and cable assem-
bly, probe housings, customer termination
labeling/markings and special packaging.
These fully-assembled components help
speed production by eliminating assembly
time and saving on the sourcing and design-
ing costs associated with assembly work.
Examples of OEM customization require-
ments include special switches and sensors
specified in the product design, but not avail-
able as a stock component, unusual bracket
configurations, over molding to protect a
product that will be exposed to water/mois-
ture, and components that involve extensive
soldering, crimping or cutting that would
otherwise have to be done during the OEMs
production process.

Piher
The PS15 rotary position sensor features
configurable capabilities for maximum
design flexibility in a 15mm package. The
sensor offers a new surface mountable solu-
tion for detecting changes in angle and posi-
tion and converting them into reliable volt-
age output. It can be processed by standard
automated placement equipment and reflow
(or lead-free reflow) soldered. For applica-
tions where rotor angle is critical, locating
pins are available. The PS15 series is avail-
able with seven different rotor designs and
15 shaft styles with choice of nine colors in
standard or UL94 compatible plastic.

rotor clip co.
Flatwire Wave Springs and Retaining Rings
are used in a variety of quick connectors/cir-
cular plug-in connectors with threaded and
bayonet locking for military and industrial
applications. The product comes in single
(overlapping ends save axial space and pre-
vent radial jamming), nested (provides a
higher load than a single turn wave spring
and uses the same radial space as a single turn
design) and multi-turn (does not cling to the
bore; greater deflection while taking up half
the space of coiled springs) wave springs for
any application. The wave springs are manu-
factured from carbon steel and 17-7 stainless.

ASSOCIATION REPORT: CEA
I
have been with the Consumer Electronics
Association (CEA) for more than 25 years. As pres-
ident and CEO, Ive had the unique opportunity
to see many new and innovative technologies before
they hit the market. Whether its at the International
CES or in meeting with one of CEAs 2,000 member
companies, I am privileged to see tomorrows tech-
nology today.
But now, others can have a similar opportunity
to get inside information on the latest technologies.
For the first time, CEA has created a membership
category for individuals. Its all part of the new
CEA Tech Enthusiast (TE) membership category.
As a CEA TE member, consumers receive benefits
such as online discounts, beta testing opportunities
and industry information, making them feel like a
true VIP in our industry.
If you are a CEA member company, I invite you to
become a CEA Tech Enthusiast membership corpo-
rate partner. As a TE membership corporate partner,
you will have the ability to promote your companys
products or services to a targeted audience of tech-
savvy individuals, with future opportunities to gain
access to this membership for focus groups, market-
ing, product testing and more. TE membership cor-
porate partners will benefit from the chance to create
a diversified revenue stream, as well as the opportuni-
ty to engage consumers for the purposes of education
and feedback on products and industry initiatives. All
CEA members are eligible to become partners at no
charge. We understand partner offers may vary, so we
look forward to developing a flexible benefits package
that works for you.
Whether or not you work for a CEA member
company, you can sign up for an individual CEA
TE membership at CEAtechenthusiast.com. The
members-only website allows TE members to
