PC Engine - Shape Shifter: Makai Eiyuuden

Title: Shape Shifter: Makai Eiyuuden / シェイプシフター 魔界英雄伝

Developer: ICOM Simulations Inc.

Publisher: Turbo Technologies Inc. / Victor Musical Industries

Release date: 29 September 1992

Catalogue No.: JCCD2011

Genre: Action / Adventure

Format: Super CD-ROM2

This is the first time I have actually seen a Japanese PC Engine release actually credit "Turbo Technologies Inc.", or TTI as they called it. In case you don't know, TTI was a spin-off joint venture set up by NEC Technologies (basically the North American arm of NEC Home Electronics) and Hudson Soft to handle the sales, distribution, marketing, and support of the TurboGrafx-16 line of consoles in North America. After the TurboGrafx-16's lukewarm initial reception in the territory, the joint entity was established in 1992 as Hudson Soft was still confident in the platform's long-term prospects and thought NEC wasn't doing an optimal job as their North American partner. The aim of the new arrangement was to give Hudson Soft more control over the North American operations, while still allowing NEC input and a share of the profits.

The graphics are clean and detailed, the music is catchy and each main character's voice acted quite well (no Last Alert-level bad voice acting shenanigans here), though admittedly I own the Japanese version so, we get JP voice acting here. Adding to this is some wonderful parallax scrolling that many of the system’s side-scrollers lacked. The ICOM team (the same team behind the Consulting Detective Sherlock Holmes games) even wrote the ending song, “Slipping into Nowhere.” Pretty cool to have a game with its own song back then.

It isn’t a perfect title, though - I’m not partial to the Americanized artwork in the cut scenes. There are some blocky transparency issues, and the microphones were too hot when the voices were recorded - or could it be that the voices are actually stored in the PC Engine's system card memory? The music, while catchy sounds like it was recorded using a department store synthesizer made out of that thin silver aerosol paint you can get from Halfords, and also, while the voices were acted well, the main character’s voice is tenor when someone with a more masculine bass should have been used.

Tek's Respirator FAQ for faceups & modding Ball Jointed Dolls

Copied from DenofAngels original posted date: Sep 21, 2010 Last edited by a moderator: Oct 10, 2016

Are you qualified to talk about this?

Yes. I [Tekenduis] am a Certified Respiratory Protection Tester/Trainer with extensive training in respiratory protection. I work at a company where my staff are exposed on a daily basis to some of the most harmful chemicals in industry. They can and will be exposed to things like silica, isocyanates and cyanide gas. Their short and long-term health is in my hands and I take that very seriously. Deadly seriously, in fact.

What is respiratory protection?

Respiratory protection is a part of your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to filter or block harmful substances from reaching your respiratory system. The hobbyists primary form of respiratory protection is the respirator. There are a great number of types of respirators, some useful only for certain applications (see more on this below). The two most common respirators for hobbyists are the disposable respirator and the half-face respirator.

The half-face respirator is a mask that covers your nose and mouth, and has cartridges that clip on, screw on, or otherwise attach to ports on the mask.

The disposable respirator looks like a dust mask or surgeon's mask. It is, as the name implies, made to be disposed of after a short period of time.

Why do I need it?

Many of the items that we work with as doll customizers are toxic and many of them are cumulatively toxic. You may feel ill for a while and then get better, but the sorts of diseases that can be caused by sanding processes and spraying processes can come back to haunt you many years down the road. These products can cause Cancer and Pneumoconiosis. Cancer may be treatable if caught early enough. Pneumoconiosis, which is respiratory diseases like asbestosis, silicosis and coalworker's "black lung" disease, is NOT TREATABLE. Your doctors will work hard to make you comfortable while you die. That is the most they will be able to do for you. If you get Pneumoconiosis you will DIE.

☠️ Are you scared? You should be. This is life and death. Do not play Russian Roulette with your health. ☠️

What do I need?

That depends on the application that you are going to be using your respiratory protection for.

Sanding

For sanding applications (including sanding of resin, apoxie and other sculpting materials, and wood), you need a respirator that provides at least N95 level protection. It should say N95 somewhere on the mask itself. If it doesn't say, it is not good enough. There is a scale to protection levels and anything above N95 is also acceptable (of course).

The levels are: N95 P95 N100 P100

What does this mean?

The prefix ahead of the number will tell you if the mask is Oil Proof or Not. The number will tell you the percentage effectiveness of the filter against particles of less than 0.3 Microns. An N100 or P100 filter may also be known as a HEPA filter. On the bright side, having a small supply of these types of respirators will mean that you are following CDC and WHO recommendations for infectious disease outbreaks, which may or may not include the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

P100 filters are also effective in welding applications. N95 and above filters are most commonly found in the disposable variety and may also be referred to as "dust masks" or "surgical masks". Remember, if it doesn't say N95 (or one of the other codes listed above) it is not good enough!**

Spray

This includes all types of spray applications, whether you are spraying sealant (like MSC or Testors) or airbrushing or spraying paints. The process of spraying releases aerosols (and this is true whether or not you are using an aerosol spray can product. Airbrushing paint creates aerosols too!) for which an N95 filter is not effective.

At this point, you will need to move into a mask that protects you against Organic Vapors AND has an N95 filter. This will mean moving into a half-face respirator.

Your respirator is no longer disposable and can be used again and again without ill effect; the only thing that will need replacing is your filter and (if applicable) your prefilter. Some respirator brands have an N95 filter built right into the Organic Vapour cartridge, but I recommend looking for one that does not, for ease of replacement. Cartridges and filters have different life spans and it is more economical to replace only the part that requires replacing (more on this below!).

Okay! I've got my mask, I'm totally safe now right?

No. There are three things that can negatively impact the safety of your mask; poor fit, improper maintenance and environmental levels.

Poor Fit

A respirator (of any type) is completely and utterly useless if it is the wrong size for you and is not fitted properly. Please ensure you've read the section on fitting your mask to ensure that your mask is correctly fit.

How do I know if it fits?

According to my local Occupational Health and Safety Code, a respirator cannot legally be used in a workplace environment if it has not been correctly Fit Tested. Keep in mind that half-face respirators come in various sizes. Most women and men wear a medium but if you have a particularly slender or wide face, you may need a small or large. If you have a crooked nose, or sinus problems, look for a mask made of silicon; you will find it more comfortable than plastic or rubber.

Improper Maintenance

Your respirator is equally useless if you are not properly maintaining and caring for it. This includes care of the mask between uses and replacement. Please see the section on maintaining your mask for more information.

Environmental Levels

Environmental levels are important to take into account, as your mask can only protect you against the things it was designed to protect you against up to a certain concentration. since I'm sure none of us have the money or inclination to commit to environmental testing of our workspaces, the best way to ensure this is to make sure that the area in which you are working is properly ventilated before you start your project, and until well after you are finished. Open your windows, PREFERABLY PLEASE work outside so that there is fresh air circulating in the area you're working in. If the air is particularly still (no breeze) while you're working, it is worth investing in a simple fan. Set it up in your window, with the fan blowing out the window (ie: the front of the fan where the air blows from facing towards the window). This will help pull the toxins out of your room. Alternately, if you are working outdoors, set the fan up on your table to help promote air movement.

Fit Testing

Fit testing uses a noxious but harmless substance (usually either irritant smoke or Bitrex; an additive used to create bitterness in household cleaners to prevent children from tasting them) to ensure that the seal between the mask and the face is tight and proper. Qualitative fit testing is the most common type, and requires the user of the mask to confirm the presence of the noxious substance. In some cases (depending on chemicals in the environment or failure of the Qualitative test) Quantitative fit testing may be required; this type of fit testing uses scientific sensors to record levels inside the mask. If you have access to fit testing, especially with a half-face respirator, I encourage you to take advantage of it! Fit testing needs to be redone every two years, in the case of weight loss or gain of more than 15 lbs or in the case of surgery (including dental) involving the face.

And if I don't have access?

I have done hundreds of fit tests for staff at my place of employment and I can usually tell how well a mask is likely to fit prior to the fit test being done. This is done with a simple self test. In order to be effective this test must be done every single time you use the respirator (even if you pull it down to talk to someone and put it right back on!).

For Disposable

Step 1: Put your respirator on. Step 2: Cup your hands tightly over your mouth and nose, over top of the respirator. Step 3: Suck in a long breath. You will get air, but it should all be coming in through the small cracks between your fingers. You should not feel any air coming in from around the nose piece or under your chin. If you do, refit the mask and try again. If you cannot complete this successfully, you will need either a larger or smaller mask. Step 4: With your hands still over your mouth and nose, blow out. Again, you should feel the air moving past your fingers, and never around the bridge of your nose or under your chin.

For Half-Face

Step 1: Put on your mask and make sure the straps are tight. Step 2: Cover the cartridge, as much as possible, with the palm of your hands and suck in. The mask will likely deflate slightly. You should feel some air coming in through the cartridge but no air coming in from the sides, under your chin, or around your nose. If you do, adjust the mask and try again. If you cannot complete this step successfully, you will need either a smaller or larger mask. Step 3: Cover the exhalation valve of your respirator with the palm of your hand and blow out. You should feel the mask inflate slightly and again, you should feel no air escaping from the side of your mask, under your chin or around your nose.​

😷 How do I maintain my mask?

Respirator maintenance is exceptionally simple, takes very little time, and ensures that you are not exposing yourself to toxins. Take the extra few minutes to ensure that your respirator is working right!

Before you put it on

For Disposable

Do a quick visual check of the respirator. Is it dirty? A little discolouration from the dust is fine, but too much might mean that your respirator is clogged. I'll discuss this a bit further down. Check that your straps are still in good condition. Check that the foam piece at the nose is intact (if applicable) and that the metal part that bends across your nose is not bent out of shape. If your mask is clogged or not in good condition, replace it.

For Half-Face

Do a quick visual check of the inside and outside of your mask. Make sure that the valves (the little rubbery seals on the inhalation and exhalation points) are present and in good condition. Make sure there are no cracks or tears in your mask. Ensure that your filters are firmly attached. Correct any of these issues before proceeding with your work.

After you take it off

For disposable

Do another quick visual check of your mask. If everything is still in order, seal your mask inside a baggie and put it somewhere safe.

For Half-Face

Wipe all surfaces of the mask that touch your face with a respirator cleaning wipe. If you don't have any, use the following: For masks made of natural rubber, use a non-alcohol based antimicrobial wipe. For masks made of silicone or plastic, wipe with isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol). This step is less about the effectiveness of your mask and more about preventing build up of oils from the skin which can degrade the mask over time, necessitating replacement, as well as causing skin breakouts!

Seal your mask inside of a baggie or well-sealed (and clean!) coffee can and put it somewhere safe.

🧼 Once a month you should remove the cartridges and clean your mask with soap and water, and hang it up to dry. This keeps the inside of your mask smelling pleasant. Sweat and condensation from your breathing can build up in there over time and cause the mask to smell unpleasant.

🤔 How often do I need to replace my respirator, or cartridges?

Filters will only last so long! Keep in mind that whether or not you are actively breathing through your respirator (IE: wearing it) it is still filtering the air around you. The average Organic Vapour filter, which is what you should be wearing at the least for spraying, lasts approximately 24–48 hours. That's it! Not very long, right?

The good news is that you can extend the life of your filters dramatically by placing them into a sealed container, like a baggie or coffee can, as discussed in the section above. My staff generally see a lifetime of 1–2 weeks from their filters, and most staff are using their filters at least once a day.

💁 How do I know it's time to replace them?

For Disposable, N95 and above Your respirator is a simple filter made up of layer of material that filter out small particulates from the air. Eventually your respirator will become clogged and need to be replaced. This is not a matter of time, it is a matter of volume of filtering, something not easily tracked.

As a general rule of thumb, when your filter is ready to be replaced, you will know it because it will get harder to suck a good deep breath in. As soon as you start to feel this, replace your respirator. For Half-Face

Organic Vapour Cartridge – Because this is filtering vapours (or aerosols), you will know it is time to replace it the moment you smell or taste anything through the filters; even the tiniest bit. Throw them out and get new ones.

N95 Prefilter

Please see the explaination for disposables above, your prefilter works the same way. If your prefilter is built into your organic vapour cartridge, it is a matter of volume of filtering, something not easily tracked.

I've got this bandana/old respirator of my uncles/some other thing…

❌ Cloth is not an effective filter against either particulate or vapours. ❌

Your respirator needs to be yours. Quite aside from the obvious sanitation issues, if the respirator belongs to someone else, it may not fit correctly and is therefore ineffective.

You're just trying to scare us. No one actually gets sick from this. ☠️ ☠️

There are several people here on the [DenofAngels] forums that have stepped up to talk about the health problems that they have suffered as a result of exposure to chemicals in either this hobby or others.

NON ORIGINAL POST NOTE: Before you dismiss the risks involved please realize that even my friend, a professional artist has experienced the direct effects of long term exposure to harsh chemicals and resins for both film and personal BJD casting even when frequently taking proper protection.

🛍️ 🛒 Where do I get these things?

Disposable respirators are readily available in home improvement stores and pharmacies; just make sure you get one that says N95, or above, as discussed earlier. You can also refer to post #3 below for a Shopping Guide.

Half-face respirators are sometimes available in home improvement stores, but are also readily available from safety suppliers (many of which are open to the general public) and online.

🤢 I worked without my mask and now I'm not feeling well. Am I going to be okay?

This question is best discussed with your Doctor. My speciality is prevention, not treatment. I can tell you what results you may incur, but I cannot and will not attempt to diagnose your health, especially not over the internet.

Brightmares was created by Alex Pardee (@alexpardee) for the 2016 SHINE Mural Festival in St. Pete, Florida.

From the St. Pete Arts Alliance website about the work-

The mural is called Brightmare, 46 feet wide and 19 feet tall. An emaciated, purple, naked figure is bowed down under a huge, sagging rainbow-colored ball where her head should be. She’s bony and hunched over, with purple skin and long grey skeletal hands, pendulous breasts and a swollen belly. The figure is on tiptoe, knees bent, one hand on the muddy floor for balance.

The sagging striped ball covers her head and neck and droops toward her belly – a red dot like a bullseye in the center of the ball, is ringed with pink, blue, green, yellow and orange. It’s like a rainbow balloon that’s leaking air, and jammed onto the figure’s head. Colors drip from the ball, and purple splashes from her body, as if the entire mural is melting in the heat.

The figure is stooped in front of a gaping black hole painted on the wall, like the opening of a cave. At her feet, bulbous blobs of white, tan and brown are spurting mud and water into the air.

On the lower left corner, the muddy blobs touch a green metal door in the side of the building. The outline of the cave crosses vertical pipes and electrical connections bolted to the wall. Two dark metal exhaust ducts frame the figure’s heavy rainbow head.

The background of the mural is the same stark industrial tan of the rest of the building, a massive structure that takes up almost an entire block.

Alex Pardee is a multi-media designer and illustrator who’s brought his unique aesthetic to music, film, animation, clothing and comics. When he painted this for the 2016 SHINE Festival, it was the largest mural he’d ever attempted. Ricky Watts, another artist on our tour, flew in from San Francisco to help with the mural’s completion. The mural is painted in aerosol, but the gaping black hole is brush painted.

To your right, in the alley facing this mural, a small window with heavy metal bars reflects the mural’s rainbow colors.

Making Screw Air Compressors Oil-free

It might be hard to believe but air compressors have been around for thousands of years. The earliest known compressors were bellows, used to blow compressed air into furnaces to stoke up the heat, thereby allowing ancient men to produce stronger and better metals for tools and weapons. >

Following the invention of steam engines, they became a popular method to power air compressors. Subsequently, Internal Combustion (IC) engines began to be used as a power source for operating reciprocating air compressors. Later, as larger industries were established, they demanded more efficient compressors capable of running with minimal maintenance and for longer periods. A rotary air compressor was the answer. Both these types of compressors continued to evolve over time and today, they are both highly efficient and technologically well advanced. Conventional reciprocating air compressors though have certain innate limitations; most notable being that the oil used for lubrication is carried along with the compressed air. Filtering removes much of the oil but not all of it. For example; pre-filters, high efficiency coalescing filters and activated carbon filters remove trapped oil to a great extent.

Oil-free compressed air solutions are used extensively in the pharmaceutical, textile & automotive industries.

 But these filters themselves have characteristic limitations. For instance, above 20°C, coalescing filters do not remove fine oil vapours, leaving very fine particles of residual oil in the form of aerosols; and activated carbon filters are not usable at filtration temperatures above 40ºC because the carbon then absorbs the oil vapour, gets saturated, and becomes ineffective. And, filtration itself raises another problem: safe disposal of used filters to avoid environmental contamination. Notwithstanding the environmental issue however, there are several industrial applications that require compressed air that is completely oil-free. Food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive painting, textiles, paper and cosmetics are typical examples. These applications demand wide operating temperatures of 0-45°C, stringent air purity standards higher than ISO 8573-Class I, high levels of safety, eco-friendly operation and some more. Even the most advanced filtration technology falls short of meeting such exceptional standards of air purity.

Plainly, lubricated compressors were not the answer. It required a radically new technology of air compression. Enter oil-free screw air compressors.

ELGi’s Screw Compressors are designed to save energy and ensure long life.

This inventive machine uses no lubricating oil in the compression chamber and hence delivers compressed air with practically no trace of oil. Additionally, because of the continuous sweeping motion of the screws – two meshing helical screws known as rotors, driven by a pair of timing gears – there is very little pulsation or surging of flow, which occurs with piston compressors. Screw compressors thus deliver smooth, pulse-free compressed air. They also tend to be compact and run smoothly with minimal vibration. Since they also employ a more efficient compression system, they not only reduce energy costs but also enable precise adaptation to end-user requirements based on careful study and analysis of their critical processes and customising with a controlled, total compressed air system, thereby also improving productivity.

Despite all its apparent advantages, oil-free screw air compressors continued to face technological and manufacturing challenges, especially pertaining to the problem of overheating due to the absence of lubricating oil in the compressor chamber. Furthermore, despite being oil-free, there was still the need for filtration as hydrocarbons and other contaminants ingested from the ambient air required to be removed prior to the point-of-use. All this began to affect their popularity to some extent. However, this also prompted a new development: oil began to be injected into the compression cavities to not only aid sealing but also provide a cooling sink for the heat of compression.

In this so-called ‘oil-flooded’ rotary screw compressor, the oil was then separated from the compressed air, cooled, filtered and recycled. The injected oil not only helped in lowering the compression temperature but also captured extraneous particulates from the incoming air, thus effectively reducing the particle loading of subsequent air filtration. Having thus overcome the initial problems that oil-free compressors faced, there was a shift from oil-free to oil-flooded compressors, which then gained popularity.

Oil-Free Two Stage: Air-Cooled Model

But the need for a completely oil-free compressor remained. This was felt keenly in industrial applications where even traces of oil in processed air could be disastrous. For instance, even minute particles of oil in precision electronic circuitry or critical semiconductor components can play havoc with electronic gadgets. Lube oil traces in processed food and beverages mean serious health risks. Pharmaceutical applications demand pristine air too. It is the same with paper mills, textiles, high-gloss painting of automobiles and many others. While Western countries had strict regulations governing the purity of air used in such critical applications, Asian countries including India and China had less stringent rules. But it was only a question of time before they too fell in line. And, although industries continued to rely on filtration to get rid of the entrapped oil, complex filtration equipment added to the cost, created air pressure drops and still did not deliver 100% oil-free air. At ELGi, this presented a situation ripe with potential.

Oil-Free Two Stage: Water-Cooled Model

ELGi embarked on developing the oil-free screw air compressor by obviating the need for oil as a medium to carry away the heat of compression. By early 2005, the first prototype was assembled and tested. And by early 2008, a test compressor was commissioned at a user’s facility for validation. Next year five more were commissioned at different locations. These models completed 10,000 hours of validation. Regular sales began by early 2011. Today, ELGi’s in-house oil-free technology with inter-cooler has been validated in demanding industrial applications for over 150,000 cumulative hours.

Inside the ELGi factory

The fully-packaged ELGi-NE series has models with high volumetric efficiency that deliver from 500 to 1800 cfm (cubic feet per minute) and pressures of up to 10 bars (kg/cm2.) Incorporating superior safety norms, these models not only have low energy losses and low air outlet temperatures but are also energy efficient and compact.

They employ two-stage compression with external water jacket inter-cooling, a unique eta-V profile rotor enabling high swept volume, low operating noise and low vibration achieved by combining radial roller bearings and 4-point axially loaded ball bearings. Innovative features like carbon impregnated SS air seals, helical grooved non-contact bronze oil seals and high-performance Visco-seals at suction and discharge rotor ends, an ingenious process of PTFE and PFA (Teflon) dry lubricant coating on carbon steel rotors, an efficient helix-angled timing gear and robustly designed cupro-nickel intercooler and after cooler, heat exchangers offering superior corrosion resistance and finally optimally designed capacity control valves; all ensure not just high efficiency but safety, durability, easy maintenance and low operating cost.

Compression is also very efficient on account of the precise clearances maintained between the helical rotors and the compression chamber, thanks to the unique eta-V profiles designed by ELGi. This rotor design reduces pressure losses and increases stage efficiencies, leading to an overall increase in adiabatic efficiency.

ELGi builds its own rotor milling machines to ensure quality rotors with lowest manufacturing cost.

Only a handful of companies in the world have this design capability. It is to be noted however, that though the machine is termed an oil-free screw compressor, it applies to only the screw chamber that forms the air compression cavity. Oil is nevertheless used in the machine – to lubricate a slew of components like the capacity control valves, air-end bearings, the timing gears and the air-end stage gear. So even though the rotors and the screw chamber do not use any lubricating oil, there is nevertheless an oil circuit comprising the oil pump, cooler, filter and oil sump. Similarly, there is also a water circuit that supplies cooling water to the intercooler, after cooler, and the 1st and 2nd stage air-ends. For ELGi, this development has been a rewarding experience. Industry watchers have it that globally, ELGi is one of only 5 corporate companies to design and manufacture oil-free air-ends.
