Conical rotor-stator geometry in a progressive cavity pump

  At Ifat exhibition in Munich (May 13-17, 2024), the German company Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG will be showing the conical HiCone progressive cavity pump for use in wastewater treatment plants and pump stations. Additionally, a 3D model of a small, compact version of the HiCone will be on display at booth 347/446 in hall B1. “Wastewater treatment plants that consume large amounts of power in the municipal area owing to their demanding process steps depend on technologies that are both energy efficient and powerful,” says Michael Brinkmann, Director of Global Sales at Vogelsang. He also says: “The HiCone gives wastewater treatment plant operators a durable, highly efficient pumping technology that can be flexibly readjusted to different pumping tasks and operating parameters.”

The HiCone features a conical rotor-stator geometry and a clever adjustment system. Precise readjustment of the rotor compensates for wear. This ensures constant pumping performance at a high level of effectiveness – without costly and time-consuming parts replacement. At the same time, the product has a status display that informs users about the pump’s condition continuously and in real time. The HiCone thus requires maintenance less often, and it can be planned better. If the HiCone is equipped with the automatic adjustment option and connected to remote maintenance, the rotor can be readjusted as needed from the control room – with no time-consuming travel and maintenance. Wastewater treatment plant operators with pumps in remote use benefit from this in particular, at pump stations, for instance, which usually are not monitored by specialists on site. Conical pump for high pressures up to 12 bar The HiCone is also designed for higher pressures of up to 12 bar. For wastewater treatment plant operators, that means the HiCone can even handle process applications with high pressures that usually require a long, two-stage progressive cavity pump. www.vogelsang.info Read the full article

Újfajta, kivédhetetlen csalás terjed Magyarországon: számklónozással bárki telefonszámát felhasználhatják

Egyre több magyar felhasználó számol be arról, hogy ismeretlenek azt állítják, hívást fogadtak az ő számukról, vagy nem fogadott hívás miatt hívják vissza őket, miközben ők nem hívták az illetőt. Ez a hívószámspoofingnak, vagyis számklónozásnak nevezett újfajta csalási módszernek köszönhető, amely ellen gyakorlatilag lehetetlen védekezni.

Mi az a hívószám spoofing?

A hívószámspoofing során a csalók meghamisítják a hívó fél azonosítóját, így a fogadó fél telefonján egy másik, akár ismerős telefonszám jelenik meg. Ezáltal a csalók könnyebben elnyerik az áldozat bizalmát, és rávehetik őket arra, hogy bizalmas információkat adjanak meg.

A csalók egy 30-40 évvel ezelőtt kifejlesztett, a telefonos kommunikáció alapját képező protokoll biztonsági rését használják ki, amely lehetővé teszi a hívószám kijelzésének megváltoztatását. Míg korábban ez a funkció legitim célokat szolgált, például kórházak vagy call centerek esetében, ma már nagyon gyakran csalásra, egyszerű telefonos alkalmazásokkal is könnyen elvégezhető a számklónozás. A klónozás ritkább esetben célzott, többségében a magyar felhasználókat véletlenszerűen ellopott telefonszámok hívják és egyelőre még csak mindenféle előre rögzített - főleg idegen nyelvű - üzeneteket játszanak le, de a spoofing remekül használható arra is, hogy különféle hivatalok, szolgáltatók, bankok, vagy igazából bármely magánszemély identitását ellopva pénzt és információt csaljanak ki az elkövetők a hívott féltől. Tipikus példája az identitás lopáson alapuló csalásoknak a NAV, rendőrség vagy vámkezelésben segítséget kérő futárszolgálatok szöveges üzenetei is, de a hívószám spoofing ennél sokkal több lehetőséget biztosít a csalóknak.

Mit tehetünk ellene?

A szakértők szerint a számcsere vagy a telefon lecserélése sem jelent megoldást, mivel a csalók tőlünk függetlenül találják meg a telefonszámunkat.A probléma súlyosságát fokozza, hogy a mesterséges intelligencia és a hangminták segítségével a csalók a telefonszámunkon túl a hangunkkal is visszaélhetnek. 

A Nemzeti Média- és Hírközlési Hatóság (NMHH) szerint egyelőre nem létezik olyan technológia, amely lehetővé tenné a hívás idején a hívószám valódiságának ellenőrzését. 

A szakértők azt javasolják, hogy fenntartásokkal kezeljük az ismeretlen hívásokat, még akkor is, ha a kijelzett telefonszám megbízhatónak tűnik.Ha gyanús a hívás, inkább hívjuk vissza az illetőt. Amennyiben felmerül a gyanú, hogy a telefonszámunkat klónozták, érdemes felvenni a kapcsolatot a szolgáltatóval, és kérni a roamingforgalom 72 órás tiltását. 

Fontos jelek, amelyek hívószámspoofingra utalhatnak:

A kijelzett név ismerős, de a telefonszám nem stimmel. 

Automatizált üzenetet hallunk, amely utasításokat ad.

A hívó fél sürgős intézkedést követel.

A kijelzett név eltér a telefonkönyvben szereplő névtől.

This is a message to my black brothers and sisters

Learn about your history

Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in Africa; the emergence of Ethiopian civilization dates back thousands of years. Abyssinia or rather "Ze Etiyopia" was ruled by the Semitic Abyssinians (Habesha) composed mainly of the Amhara and Tigray, the Cushitic Agaw. In the Eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian highlands and more so the lowlands was the home of the Arab-descended Harari that founded Sultanates such as Ifat and Adal and the Afars. In the central and south were found the ancient Sidama and Semitic Gurage, among otheres. One of the first kingdoms to rise to power in the territory was the kingdom of D'mt in the 10th century BC, which established its capital at Yeha. In the first century AD the Aksumite Kingdom rose to power in the modern Tigray Region with its capital at Aksum and grew into a major power on the Red Sea, subjugating South Arabia and Meroe and its surrounding areas. In the early fourth century, during the reign of Ezana, Christianity was declared the state religion. Ezana's reign is also when the Aksumites first identified themselves as "Ethiopians", and not long after, Philostorgius became the first foreign author to call the Aksumites Ethiopians.[The Aksumite empire fell into decline with the rise of Islam in the Arabian peninsula, which slowly shifted trade away from the Christian Aksum.[citation needed] It eventually became isolated, its economy slumped and Aksum's commercial domination of the region ended.The Aksumites gave way to the Zagwe dynasty, who established a new capital at Lalibela before giving way to the Solomonic dynasty in the 13th century. During the early Solomonic period, Ethiopia went through military reforms and imperial expansion that allowed it to dominate the Horn of Africa.

How did Ethiopia Resist Imperialism?

Ethiopia, formerly Abyssinia, is one of the world’s oldest countries. Dating to around 400 BCE, the region is documented in the in the King James Version of the Bible as the Kingdom of Axum. Along with Rome, Persia, and China, Axum was considered one of the four great powers of the era. Throughout the millennia of its history, the willingness of the country’s people—from farmers to kings—to come together as one, coupled with its geographic isolation and economic prosperity, helped Ethiopia score decisive victories against a series of global colonialist forces.

Ethiopia is considered “never colonized” by some scholars, despite Italy's occupation from 1936–1941 because it did not result in a lasting colonial administration.

Seeking to expand its already considerable colonial empire in Africa, Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1895. In the ensuing First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896), Ethiopian troops won a crushing victory over Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa on March 1, 1896. On October 23, 1896, Italy agreed to the Treaty of Addis Ababa, ending the war and recognizing Ethiopia as an independent state.

On Oct. 3, 1935, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, hoping to rebuild his nation’s prestige lost in the Battle of Adwa, ordered a second invasion of Ethiopia. On May 9, 1936, Italy succeeded in annexing Ethiopia. On June 1 of that year, the country was merged with Eritrea and Italian Somalia to form Africa Orientale Italiana (AOI or Italian East Africa).

Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie made an impassioned appeal for assistance in removing the Italians and re-establishing independence to the League of Nations on June 30, 1936, gaining support from the U.S. and Russia. But many League of Nations members, including Britain and France, recognized Italian colonization.

It was not until May 5, 1941, when Selassie was restored to the Ethiopian throne, that independence was regained.

Ethiopia's ability to resist being swept up in the "Scramble for Africa" can be credited to the stability of its longstanding imperial government, beginning with the Abyssinian Empire in the 13th century, and lasting into the late 20th century, with the exception of a brief Italian occupation during the 1930s. King Menelik II, the Emperor during the period of rampant European exploration and colonization in Africa, was careful to cultivate an alliance with the smaller surrounding kingdoms of North Africa, and with European powers including Italy and Russia. When Italy began to turn the sights of their imperial ambitions toward Ethiopia, the Ethiopian military became the only African kingdom able to successfully resist the military might of European colonial power, using Russian-supplied weapons to defeat the Italian invading force at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. In the aftermath of the battle, in exchange for permanent recognition as an independent empire, Menelik II granted Italy the right to claim the neighboring territory of Eritrea under their imperial umbrella.

Ethiopians have a history of taming lions.

Many Emperors kept pet lions including Halie Selassie. Occasionally visitors like Kwame Nkrumah could pet one of the lions!

This practice of keeping lions is said to date back thousands of years to the Axumite period.The descendants of the Royal Lions currently live in the Addis Ababa zoo.

Meet his imperial majesty, the King of the Jungle.

And if, with his thick, shaggy mane Challa seems to have something of a frisky regal air about him - it's because he knows that he is a genuine blue blood.Challa is a direct descendant of Mochuria and Mollua - royal lions, which the late Emperor Haile Selassie kept as pets. The Emperor's practice of keeping pet lions is said to date thousands of years back to the Axumite period.Years ago in Ethiopia, Lions were pets to the people, some were used like donkeys, some like dogs kept at home. Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia had lions he kept as pets, while some Ethiopians could even ride on them. These were not wild lions, they grew up with humans and became domesticated.They didn't go after human blood or other animals, lions roamed around the streets of Ethiopia and live was beautiful with them. Ethiopia is in East Africa, it's a rugged, landlocked country split by the Great Rift Valley, Ethiopia is a place of ancient culture, they believe and still hold on to ancient affairs.

Any lion that goes wild was immediately hunted killed, they were only killed if they kill a human and not animals like goats and chickens. They forbid killing and eating of any lion because lions were pets used in different palaces.

Ethiopia as a country had its origin in about 980 B.C., which makes it one of the oldest nations in the world.

Due to this very long history and an unmatched diversity of people and cultures, the country has often been described as a “museum of peoples”. With such a highly diverse population, Ethiopia houses an intricate tapestry of language and ethnic groups.

Also nicknamed the “Land of 13 Sunshine’s”, Ethiopia is often described as one of the most enthralling and enchanting places in the world – and definitely in Africa.

Ethiopia may not be the first place any traveller think of when planning or booking a next holiday, but it may just as well soon be the case. As African country Ethiopia can boast about having been at peace for at least the previous 15 years or more years and its economy is consequently one of the fastest growing in the world.

With the added bonus of an astounding diversity of landscapes, mixture of cultures and history that tracks back to when homo sapiens first started to raise itself up onto two legs, a traveller suddenly may look forward to a surprising and breath-taking travel destination.

But talking about planning and holiday dated, you probably didn’t know that this unique nation even has its own calendar?

This is but one of a myriad fascinating facts about the country, of which a number are discussed in this article. Looking at the country’s ancient and statutory history, its religion, culture, people and natural phenomena, here are at least 44 random but fascinating facts that you can ponder in anticipation of a visit to this eastern African country in the near future:

Fact number 1 – The oldest people in the world probably lived here.

Fact number 2 – Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and the only African country that could evade colonial rule.

Fact number 3 – Ethiopia was one of the first African forces to achieve a significant victory over a European colonial power.

Fact number 4 – Ethiopia has a rich history of rulers, including emperors and queens.

Fact number 5 – Ethiopia is perceived to be the diplomatic capital of the African continent

Fact number 6 – Ethiopia is the country with the second highest population in Africa, and with almost 1,5 % of the world population.

Fact number 8 – Ethiopia has the most orphans in the world.

Fact number 10 – Addis Ababa is the highest capital city in Africa.

Fact number 11 – More than 200 dialects are spoken by the peoples of the country.

This just makes me think that Ryan said no to coking back and they had originally planned for Robert to return. Because Robert 2.0 literally being a sugden is an odd choice... Ifat the same time they could have just recasted Robert if they plan on replacing him but I'm glad they haven't

Yeah the whole thing screams "we wrote a Robert return story without checking if Ryan Hawley actually wanted to come back to play it"

Maybe they just assumed Danny would be able to convince him or that the lure of a regular pay cheque would be enough.

Az USA korlátozza a fejlett AI chipek Kínába exportálását

Az Egyesült Államok kereskedelmi minisztériuma elrendelte a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), a világ legnagyobb chipgyártója számára, hogy függessze fel a fejlett mesterséges intelligencia (AI) chipek szállítását kínai ügyfeleknek. A korlátozás a 7 nanométeres és annál fejlettebb technológiával készült chipekre vonatkozik, amelyek AI gyorsítókban és GPU-kban használhatók.

Az ügy hátterében a Kínai és az Egyesült Államok közt évek óta zajló kereskedelmi háború áll, mely során többek között a 2019-ben éppen vezető okostelefon- és hálózati eszköz gyártó Huawei-t minden USA területén bejegyzett licensz használatáról letiltották és az akkor illetve azóta tiltólistára került céggekkel bármely az Egyesült Államokban jegyzett licenszt érintő  kereskedelmi kapcsolatot csak külön engedéllyel kaphatnak az aztoka használó vállalatok. Ennek értelmében a TSMC nemrégiben értesítette az amerikai hatóságokat, hogy egyik chipjét a Huawei Ascend 910B AI processzorában találták meg és a TSMC egy vásárlója, a kínai Sophgo chiptervező sértette meg az export korlátozásokat.

Az USA egyre szigorúbban lép fel a Kínába irányuló technológiai exporttal szemben. A hónap elején a GlobalFoundries chipgyártót 500 ezer dolláros büntetéssel sújtották, mert engedély nélkül szállított a kínai SMIC-nek. Az amerikai politikusok további szigorításokat követelnek, és aggodalmukat fejezték ki az exportkorlátozások gyengesége miatt. A Biden-kormány további korlátozásokat tervez, de a törvények módosítása késik.

Kína eközben felkészül a további amerikai szankciókra. Nagy erőkkel vásárolják fel a chipgyártó eszközöket, új szövetségeket kötnek, és szakembereket toboroznak. Olyan országokkal működnének együtt, amelyek nem értenek egyet az USA politikájával, és igyekeznek önfenntartóvá válni a chipgyártásban. Mindezzel együtt a fejlett AI chipek exportjának korlátozása komoly csapást jelenthet Kína technológiai ambícióira, és tovább fokozhatja a két ország közötti feszültséget.
