Circa 2019 Light is the most energy-efficient way of moving information. Yet, light shows one big limitation: it is difficult to store. As a matter of fact, data centers rely primarily on magnetic hard drives. However, in these hard drives, information is transferred at an energy cost that is nowadays exploding. Researchers of the Institute of Photonic …
Load and release should be repeated 50 times. During the 50 releases, the lifeboat release and retrieval system should be released simultaneously from each fall to which it …
The simulation wiresallow the hook mechanism to operate, release the lifeboat and then allow the lifeboat to travelapproximately 150mm along the ramp, proving that the lifeboat will deploy. During the incident,the simulation wires failed at a load significantly below their rated safe working load. The causeof this premature failure has …
