Mentopolis: Wordplay for Episodes 1 and 2
(One for episodes 3 and 4 will be coming)
Cerebell Pacific - The cerebellum is a part of the brain that affects motor control and, to some extent, cognitive functions. In the city of Mentopolis, this is where the Synaptic Switchboard resides. Older telephones utilized switchboard systems. The name is a play on one of the real life telecommunications companies that formed under the Bell System. [Side note: Pacific Bell became AT&T California and Bell Atlantic became Verizon.]
Occipital Park - Occipital means related to the back of the head. The occipital lobe has several areas related to vision. Possibly a play on New York's Central Park.
Cortex City - The cortex of the brain handles higher functions like consciousness. The cortex has 4 lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital, which seem to be a LOOSE basis for the mapping of the city's districts. It is NOT a one-to-one correlation, though. Many famous cities are nicknamed as ____ City, such as Empire City (NYC) or the Windy City (Chicago).
Motor City - A section of Mentopolis that corresponds to the limbic system. This area contributes to behavior, memory, emotions, motivation, etc. Also the nickname of Detroit due to the automotive industry.
Imelda Pulse - (Impulse) Her family is influential, not simply because they are "old money" but because they are among the few who can directly influence The Big Guy. The Pulses may have been here before the city was founded, which I took as referring to the stages of fetal development. Imelda herself is prone to being reckless in an impulsive sense, to both positive and negative effect.
Hunch Curio - (Curiosity) He's a private detective motivated by curiosity, and eager to answer questions. He isn't always the deepest thinker; he tends to take a pretty simple approach. His body of work is built on answering pretty much any query that crosses his path. Unlike Danielle's character, he seems to thrive on the "puff piece" mysteries that she's grown tired of, and they often run into each other while working. To their mutual frustration.
A real swingin' dick - Fun wordplay here. A shorthand way to refer to a detective, typically a private investigator (see the Theme song for Shaft). It is also, of course, a slang term for male genitalia. Makes for easy double entendre: Hunch is a real on-the-move, following-the-clues professional, and/or he maybe has a big penis.
The Fix - (Hyperfixation) A fixer of situations. The Fix eliminates distractions, as requested by the DA's office, that could compromise The Big Guy's work. He's not only efficient, but he LIKES his job, weirdness and all. He is honest, straight-forward, and genuinely nice most of the time. He has a fondness for children though he's not instantly better at interfacing with them compared to adults.
Mark Bition - (Ambition) Can we PLEASE talk about the detail of that TIE, though?! It's doing so much for not only the art composition, but also just informing the personality of the character. Like, yes, obviously, homeboy's the District Attorney, he travels in a fancy car with a souped up engine, is well-dressed, etc. HE WEALTHY. His stocks and social status are on the RISE! But there's also a slightly unnerving, possibly sinister undertone to him. That arrow-esque tie not only evokes rising wealth, but also kinda resembles a devilish tail.
Don Avaricci - Part of the criminal underworld. Avarice is greed. His enforcers/thugs/goons include Roscoe Hungry, Johnny Gullible, and Simon Praise, to name a few. Per the Adventuring Party for "The Scattered Mind", Brennan indicated this crime family is all "appetites" of a kind.
Conrad Schintz - Con Schintz (Conscience) Conrad is a "too small" boy living on the streets and selling newspapers. He's the under developed moral compass for Elias Hodge; he has an inkling of what good and bad decisions are but has reservations about speaking up.
Justin Fication - (Justification) The only part of Elias' mind that isn't humanoid. Which is sort of a fascinating choice - that the part of his mind that requires REASON is remarkably intelligent, but also the most animal-like. If Justin is somehow a manifestation of Conrad's who goes away when the kid starts to grow up I will lose it
Anastasia "A" Tention - (Attention) As a reporter at the Daily Observer, it's pretty straightforward that she's got a keen eye. What sets her apart from Hunch is she's after the Bigger Picture and things making sense. She's less prone to instigating violence, but she can keep her cool under pressure
While we see the first name Anastasia on the character card, I noticed Danielle mostly refers to her character as A. Later conversation suggests she is a less well-known relative of the Pulse family, which might make her name originally A. Pulse.
A Pulse -- > Being "on the pulse" of something means to "be aware of the latest things happening" about a topic, which lends itself very well to a reporter.
It's possible the names Anastasia and Imelda were chosen because they sound uppercrust, or because of their connections to influential families. More literal name meaning seems less likely at this juncture, but with D20 anything is possible. (While Anastasia is related to resurrection, the name Imelda is related to an all-consuming fight or powerful battle)
Anastasia's file number is 001, and Imelda's is straight up ?? - I got a little lost in the sauce a few days ago trying to analyze everyone's file numbers. At first, Imelda's seems like a fun nod to her being the "mysterious" femme fatale type - and yet, because of the genre and how talented Siobhan is, I'm now instantly suspicious that some other shoe is going to drop. Like she's secretly working for the DA or Don Avaricci or something to obfuscate the mystery.
Norrell Ojiccle - (Neurological) Murder victim, employee at Cerebell Pacific for the Switchboard. Seemingly an average brain citizen. He may have sought out the prohibited Oxytocin at Sugah's due to loneliness. His death is quite possibly the first domino in an onset of Depression for Elias Hodge, or something more complicated. Also, he has four arms. I'm not letting that art detail go until we get a crew Adventuring Party for this season. His file number refers to the police code for a murder.
Daniel Fucks - Proprietor of Sugah's, and the go-to guy for pleasures and delights, carnal or otherwise. The pleasure center of Elias Hodge's brain.
Sugah's - Located in the pleasure center of the brain. The name refers to sweets. In this setting, this is the speakasy/club where you come to find something to feel good. Pleasures could be based in anything one might find enjoyable, but the establishment seems to be popular as of late because of the prohibited substances due to city ordinances.
Donna Fucks and Club Spice - Due to improv worldbuilding from episode 2, these may now exist. Donna is the sister (possibly twin?) to Dan, based on the correlation between pain and pleasure. She runs a parallel club (possibly with more adult themes) and works even more than Dan does.
Leon Logic - Mayor of Cortex City. Insistent upon how much "sense" his campaign makes. His abbreviated name L. Logic could suggest illogic - though this is not confirmed. Maybe he's just the "face" or "mouthpiece" of the leadership structure, and someone else is coming up with the "big plans" for Elias.
Hans Schadenfreude - (Do I really have to explain this one? Avenue Q has a whole song about it) Okay fine - coming from the wonderful German language, this refers to deriving pleasure from the misfortune of others. Every Hans interaction is S Tier, he's probably my new fave Brennan NPC.
Libby Longshower - She's the waitress at Sugah's, which suggests she's some kind of pleasure. She might be a simple one, the feeling of luxuriating under hot water. Her name might also be a nod to the more physical self-pleasures that one someone might enjoy and it results in a long shower. Her file text describes her as one "steamy" tomato and her file number might be a reference to a police code for lewd conduct.
Joey Sneezes - Seems to be a specific type of pleasure, the relief of a good sneeze.
Oblongata Station - The Medulla Oblongata is where your brain and nervous system connect. It has a lot of functions, which makes sense why the stationmaster in Mentopolis has so many different levers to access certain functions. The trains seem to operate along the nerve connections. The stationmaster's name is Max Medulla [although I think the character file spelled it with one "l".]
Chief Alexander Tightass - Literally A Tightass. The uptight chief of police. Works in conjunction with the DA's office but only within the bounds of the law. He's not immune to temptation (see flirting with Dan Fucks) but he doesn't give in to it. He's very committed to his job, much like Elias has been for Gobstopper Industries.
Donny Urges - An urge/desire/impulse that seems to have become an Intrusive Thought. Now neutralized.
Freddy Focus - Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Observer. He has one big eyeball which is also the logo for the newspaper. He seems to intense but limited perspective - he prioritizes urgency and short-term developments over the "bigger picture" stuff. Maybe the one eyeball also indicates this lack of perception.
Receptors - Not really a pun, but they function much like post office workera or message couriers. Different receptors report to different authorities: Wilton, for instance, answers to Dan Fucks.
Millie and Ollie - Workers at the memory bank which is the library of the Hippo Campus.
Wilton - An elderly pleasure receptor from the genitalia. His appearance is a reference to "blue balls" and his name is clearly a play on "wilting" as in a flaccid penis.
Shock troops - Also known as assault troops in the real world, they are formations to lead an attack. In Mentopolis, they are a personification of actual Shock following a trauma. They jump into action to silence pain through violence and arrest.

Understanding the Manufacturing Process of MSERW Pipes
Mild Steel Electric Resistance Welded (MSERW) pipes play a crucial role in numerous industries, ranging from construction to automotive. These pipes are known for their strength, durability, and ability to withstand extreme conditions, making them an ideal choice for various structural and mechanical applications. Whether you are a project manager or an engineer, understanding the manufacturing process of MSERW pipes is essential for selecting the right product for your needs. If you are searching for a reliable MSERW Pipe dealer in Gujarat, this comprehensive guide will help you understand the journey of these pipes from raw materials to finished products.

What is an MSERW Pipe?
MSERW pipes are manufactured using mild steel through a process called Electric Resistance Welding (ERW). These pipes are formed by rolling metal and welding it longitudinally along its length using electric resistance. The result is a strong, seamless pipe that is widely used in industries like water supply, oil and gas, agriculture, and structural works.
The mild steel used in the production of these pipes gives them a balance between strength and flexibility, making them ideal for both high-pressure and low-pressure applications. As a trusted MSERW Pipe Supplier in Gujarat, Tube Trading offers high-quality pipes that meet industry standards and provide excellent performance.
Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process of MSERW Pipes
The manufacturing process of MSERW pipes involves several stages, each contributing to the quality and structural integrity of the final product. Below is a detailed breakdown of the entire manufacturing process:
1. Selection of Raw Material
The process begins with the selection of high-quality mild steel coils, also known as hot-rolled steel coils. These coils form the base material for MSERW pipes. The chemical composition of the steel is carefully chosen to ensure it meets the required mechanical properties such as strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. A reliable MSERW Pipe Provider in Gujarat ensures that the raw materials adhere to international quality standards.
2. Slitting
Once the raw material is selected, it is cut into narrow strips using a process called slitting. The width of the strips depends on the required diameter of the pipe. The slitting process is carried out with high precision to avoid any discrepancies that might affect the final product. These narrow steel strips are later used to form the body of the pipe.
3. Forming
The steel strips are then passed through a series of rollers that bend the material into the shape of a cylinder. This process is known as forming. The edges of the steel strip are brought together to create a seam, which will later be welded. The forming process is critical because it ensures the pipes achieve their final shape without any cracks or irregularities.
4. Electric Resistance Welding (ERW)
In the ERW process, the edges of the steel strip are welded together using electric resistance. This is achieved by applying high-frequency electric current along the seam. The resistance generated by the electric current causes the edges to heat up, melting the metal and fusing it together. The result is a welded seam that is as strong as the rest of the pipe, ensuring the structural integrity of the entire product.
MSERW pipes are known for their superior welding quality, and this process is a major contributing factor. Leading MSERW Pipe Suppliers in Gujarat prioritize high-precision welding to avoid issues like weak seams or leaks in the final product.
5. Sizing and Shaping
Once the welding is complete, the pipe goes through additional rollers that ensure it reaches the correct diameter and roundness. This step is known as sizing and shaping. The pipe is passed through a series of sizing rollers that give it the exact dimensions required for its intended application. At this stage, any residual stress in the pipe is also minimized.
6. Cutting to Length
After sizing, the MSERW pipes are cut to the desired length. High-precision cutting equipment ensures that each pipe is of uniform length. This is essential for industries that require pipes of specific dimensions. The pipes are cut either by flying saws or other automated cutting machines to ensure accuracy.
7. Testing and Quality Control
Before the pipes are sent to the market, they undergo rigorous testing and quality control checks. Several non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, and eddy current testing, are employed to check for any defects in the welded seam or body of the pipe. Leading MSERW Pipe Dealers in Gujarat ensure that every pipe undergoes thorough quality control to guarantee its durability and performance.
8. Surface Treatment
The surface of the pipes is treated to protect them from corrosion and enhance their longevity. This may include galvanization or coating with protective layers like epoxy or other anti-corrosive materials. Surface treatment ensures that the pipes are suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments, such as those found in the oil and gas industry.
9. Packaging and Delivery
Finally, the MSERW pipes are packaged for delivery. Packaging ensures that the pipes are protected during transit and arrive at the customer’s location in perfect condition. At this point, the pipes are ready to be delivered to various industries, from construction to infrastructure projects, where they will be used in numerous applications.
Applications of MSERW Pipes
MSERW pipes are highly versatile and used in a wide range of industries. Below are some of their key applications:
Construction: Used for scaffolding, structural supports, and building frameworks.
Oil and Gas Industry: Utilized for transporting oil, gas, and water due to their strength and durability.
Water Supply: Employed in plumbing systems and water pipelines.
Automotive Industry: Used for exhaust systems and structural components.
Agriculture: Commonly used in irrigation systems and water transport.
As a top MSERW Pipe Provider in Gujarat, Tube Trading supplies pipes that can be customized according to the specific needs of these industries.
Why Choose MSERW Pipes?

High Strength: The welding process ensures a strong, durable pipe that can handle high pressure.
Versatility: MSERW pipes are available in different diameters, thicknesses, and lengths, making them adaptable for various industries.
Corrosion Resistance: Surface treatments like galvanization offer protection against corrosion, making these pipes ideal for harsh environments.
Conclusion
Understanding the manufacturing process of MSERW pipes helps in appreciating the level of detail and quality control involved in creating these essential components. From raw material selection to the final quality checks, each step contributes to producing a pipe that is reliable, strong, and durable.
For industries looking for a dependable MSERW Pipe Supplier in Gujarat, Tube Trading offers high-quality products that meet industry standards and are tailored to your specific needs.

Scientists develop 3D printing technique using microwaves for faster, versatile manufacturing

- By Nuadox Crew -
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a new 3D printing technique called Microwave Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (MVAM), which uses microwave energy to cure materials.
This approach allows for a wider range of materials, including opaque and composite resins, compared to traditional light-based methods. MVAM overcomes the limitations of Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM), which is restricted to transparent resins, by enabling microwaves to penetrate deeper into materials. The technique promises faster curing times and the ability to produce larger, complex parts, potentially transforming industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare.
The team has demonstrated the ability to cure various resins and developed a computational model to optimize the process. While existing microwave hardware can cure resins in minutes, the model suggests that curing could be reduced to mere seconds at higher power levels. Despite the promise of faster and more versatile production, researchers face challenges such as the high cost of microwave devices. Future work will focus on reducing costs, scaling up production capabilities, and refining the process for broader industrial use

What is heavy copper PCB board
Heavy copper PCB boards ( also being called thick copper board, power board etc ) are usually bonded with a layer of copper foil on a glass epoxy substrate. The thickness of copper foil is usually 18μm, 35μm, 55μm and 70μm. The most commonly used copper foil thickness is 35μm. The thickness of copper foil used in China is generally 35-50μm, and there are also thinner ones such as 10μm and 18μm; and thicker ones such as 70μm. The thickness of the composite copper foil on a substrate with a thickness of 1-3mm is about 35μm; the thickness of the composite copper foil on a substrate with a thickness of less than 1mm is about 18μm, and the thickness of a composite copper foil on a substrate with a thickness of more than 5mm is about 55μm. If the thickness of the copper foil on the PCB is 35μm and the printed line width is 1mm, then for every 10mm length, its resistance value is about 5mΩ, and its inductance is about 4nH. When the di/dt of the digital integrated circuit chip on the PCB is 6mA/ns and the working current is 30mA, the resistance and inductance contained in each 10mm printed line are used to estimate the noise voltage generated by each part of the circuit to be 0.15. mV and 24mV.
Advantages of heavy copper PCB board
Heavy copper plate has the characteristics of carrying large current, reducing thermal strain, and good heat dissipation.
1. The heavy copper circuit board can carry large current
In the case of a certain line width, increasing the copper thickness is equivalent to increasing the cross-sectional area of the circuit, which can carry a larger current, so it has the characteristic of carrying a large current.
2. Heavy copper circuit boards reduce thermal strain
Copper foil has a small electrical conductivity (also called electrical resistivity ), the temperature rise is small when a large current is passed, so it can reduce the amount of heat and thereby reduce the thermal strain.
Metal “conductors” are divided into: ” silver→copper→gold→aluminum→tungsten→nickel→iron ” according to conductivity.
3. The heavy copper circuit board has good heat dissipation
Copper foil has high thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity 401W/mK), which can play an important role in improving heat dissipation performance, so it has good heat dissipation;
Thermal conductivity refers to the heat transfer through an area of 1 square meter within 1H for a 1 meter thick material with a temperature difference of 1°C on both sides under stable heat transfer conditions, measured by W/m·K.
Heavy copper plate has the characteristics of carrying large current, reducing thermal strain, and good heat dissipation.
Disadvantages of heavy copper PCB board
The outer copper-clad plane must be separated by the surface components and signal lines. If there is a poorly grounded copper foil (especially the thin and long copper), it will become an antenna and cause EMI problems.
If the pins of electronic components are fully connected with copper, it will cause the heat to dissipate too fast, and it will be difficult to desolder and rework soldering. The copper-clad plane of the outer layer must be well grounded, and more vias need to be punched to connect to the main ground plane. If more vias are punched, it will inevitably affect the wiring channels, unless buried blind vias are used.

Applications of heavy copper PCB board
The application field and demand for thick copper plates have been rapidly expanded in recent years, and it has become a “hot” PCB variety with good market development prospects.
The vast majority of heavy copper PCBs are high-current substrates (current x voltage = power). The main application areas of high-current PCBs are two major areas: power modules and automotive electronic components. Some of its main terminal electronic product fields are the same as conventional PCBs (such as portable electronic products, network products, base station equipment, etc.), and some are different from conventional PCB fields, such as automobiles, industrial controls, and power modules.
High-current PCBs are different from conventional PCBs in terms of efficacy. The main function of a conventional PCB is to form a wire for transmitting information. The high-current PCB has a large current through it, and the main function of the substrate carrying the power device is to protect the current carrying capacity and stabilize the power supply. The development trend of such high-current PCB is to carry larger currents, and the heat emitted by larger devices needs to be dissipated. Therefore, the large currents passing through them are getting larger and larger, and the thickness of all the copper foils of the PCBs is getting thicker and thicker. The 6 oz copper thickness of the high-current PCBs manufactured now has become normal;
The application areas of heavy copper circuit boards include: mobile phones, microwaves, aerospace, satellite communications, network base stations, hybrid integrated circuits, power supply high-power circuits and other high-tech fields.

Study unveils strategy for improving mechanical properties of aluminum composites
Particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs), in which the aluminum matrix is reinforced with nanoparticles, exhibit great potential for applications in the aerospace and automobile industries. These materials combine the advantages of both aluminum matrix and reinforcement particles, including high specific strength, high specific modulus, and good wear resistance. Consequently, PRAMCs are regarded as the most promising and economical materials to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions in the automotive and aerospace industries. However, the tradeoff between the strength and ductility of PRAMCs severely limits their application. To address this long-standing challenge, a team of researchers from China, led by Professor Jin-feng Nie and Professor Yong-hao Zhao from the Nano and Heterogeneous Materials Center at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology developed a new strategy to improve the strength and ductility synergy of PRAMCs. Their findings were made available online on May 2 2024 and published in Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China.
