The channel steel must be welded on the silo during installation and use

The channel steel must be welded on the silo during installation and use, and installing the air hammer above the channel steel can eliminate the hidden danger of the silo being damaged. Precautions for installation and use of pneumatic hammer After the pneumatic hammer is installed, please be sure to install an anti-falling cable on the body, otherwise it may fall due to the impact force and cause injury.

If the reinforcing plate is welded, please ensure that there is no gap between the reinforcing plate and the hopper, and reserve an exhaust port of about 10mm to facilitate the discharge of air, so that the impact force can be fully transmitted. In order to avoid damage to the hopper, please be sure to weld several layers.

If the plate of the mounting part is relatively thin, please weld the reinforcing plate, otherwise the mounting part may be damaged due to impact. In order to prevent falling off, please hoist and fix the main body with a cable, otherwise the bolt may loosen due to impact and fall off.

When fixing the body and the flange with bolts,Wholesale ltra-light polyurethane air tubes Suppliers please install spring washers on the top and bottom, and tighten them strictly according to the tightening torque and check them regularly.

When installing the pneumatic hammer, please wear a safety helmet, safety shoes, and a safety belt, and perform it under safe equipment. Please install an air filter before piping. If there is garbage or dust mixed in, it may cause malfunction. Do not exceed the required impact force when using, otherwise it may cause damage to the silo or installation site.

Please confirm that the strike surface of the mounting flange must be a solid plane. If necessary, please weld the reinforcing rib. Please keep the time setting of more than 1 second when cyclically hitting continuously. If it is less than 1 second, it may cause malfunction.

switchplate covers update/tutorial

So the thing to keep in mind with this is that we gotta see how well the wear. A switchplate cover is a pretty high-traffic thing, and subject to a lot of wear. If these get too dingy I'm absolutely going to have to go buy fancy ceramic ones or something.

But. That said. Here is my final result, and below the cut is how I did this, partly because I want to remember how it worked LOL.

[Image description: A combo lightswitch/outlet with a black three-prong plug plugged into it, set into a white subway tile wall with a wooden breadboard leaned against it. The plate cover is painted with a mottled effect to look like a turquoise gemstone, complete with inset glitter to mimic the pyrite inclusions found in some raw turquoise.]

A better view of the glitter:

[Image description: Another turquoise-painted outlet faceplate on the background of a rumpled white dropcloth, my fingers visible tilting it toward the light so the flake glitter catches the light from the window.]

So I searched up for tutorials and found a few, each of which was like "can't believe nobody else has done this"; I'm sharing the most helpful one here. What was thee very most helpful thing, though, was the writer's pointing out that many different configurations of turquoise exist, so you can just pick a reference image and build off that. I did not in the end come very close to my reference, but decided instead to make it look sick as hell. LOL. I was just having too much fun doing whatever I wanted. So these are not super realistic! But then you wouldn't... make an outlet faceplate out of real turquoise, so I felt like I wasn't fooling anyone. Anyway--

How To Paint Faux Turquoise.

So the first thing I did was find some very fine-grit sandpaper (I think I got 320? I found a mostly used-up sheet of it in the basement and just used the unused edge from where it had been fastened around a block, LOL) and went over the whole front surface of each plate I was going to paint, and then I washed them with dishsoap and hot water and dried them with a dish towel, because I figured finger grease, hand dirt, and sanding dust would keep the paint from sticking. I started with white plastic ones, the kind you get for up to a dollar at the hardware store.

Then I got a plastic container lid, put dollops of various of my paint samples in it, dug out the craft paints I got cleaning out Auntie's basement and the sole tube of acrylics (Mars black) I could still find from the last time I did any painting, and went to town. The first couple, I did the pale shades and let them dry and came back to add the darker marbling. But then I was like, these are latex/acrylic, you don't have to build them in layers? So I just did the rest of them with all the shading in more or less one pass.

Acrylic art paint and latex housepaint are both water-based, so there's no conflict with using them intermingled. I've combined them before, I used to do a lot of sign painting and it works fine. Housepaint's runnier, idk. Don't mix oils and latex, is the thing to keep in mind; they just don't stick to each other real well.

I went to the art supply store to get some water-based varnish, because all i had was polyurethane and that's oil-based. It'd probably work as a topcoat but I was worried and the internet's advice conflicted. I wanted to go get better glitter anyway, so I did. I happen to live near Hyatt's All Things Creative, so I take every excuse I can get to go there.

I bought some sick-ass glitter (over in the resin pouring section, hell yes), and puzzled thru the various offerings. (@sassaffrassa's advice proved invaluable on this thank u.) I got just-- "Gloss varnish acrylic medium", the Hyatt's brand, for four dollars and sixty-nine (nice) cents, and then because I was feeling spendy, I also bought Krylon spray-on glossy varnish. Belt and suspenders, y'know? Also to make the brush strokes less obvious.

The critical thing, though, about the gloss varnish, is that it says right on the bottle that you can either incorporate it into the paint as a medium to enhance the sheen, OR brush it over the finished work as a protective coating. Dries absolutely clear. So I knew, THIS is how I'm attaching the glitter. I'd been thinking like, mod podge? elmer's glue? mix it into the paint? No.

[image description: the gloss varnish bottle. It is this product. The relevant text says "can be used either as a medium to enhance the sheen levels of acrylic paint or as an over-varnish on finished artwork to provide a non-tacky, protective gloss coating".]

So I carefully got open the little bottle of glitter (no sneezing! it was "white gold flake" style and cost eight bucks for like half a gram. to my knowledge it's not actually made of gold but it was priced like it was) and painted little fine patches of gloss varnish onto the spots I wanted glittered, and then used tweezers to apply glitter just in those spots, and mooshed them around with the little varnish-covered brush until they stuck where I wanted them. (I put them on the darkest bits of the veining, because that was what my source image looked like, mostly. I wanted to be really liberal but then I thought, no, a little pop of glitter is more exciting actually. Still not sure, but it does look good so. They say measure that shit with your heart but I went light because I figured I could add more later, and then I didn't.)

Then I came back at the end and painted more gloss varnish just over the glitter, just to make sure it was all really stuck down and wouldn't flake off with wear.

Let that dry for a couple hours, then used a larger brush to spread gloss varnish as evenly as possible over the entirety of each plate. It did leave visible brush strokes, which I didn't mind. The art shop guy suggested using a really soft brush to minimize that, and I was like "yah sure ok" but then, well, I didn't, I just used the brush I had.)

But then I let that dry overnight, and in the morning I put the plates all in my giant overspray cardboard box, and gave them each a liberal coating of the spray varnish. (Yes of course I have a giant cardboard box I keep in my basement to spray paint things in. I know it says use in a well-ventilated space but what I do, see, is I do that and then I leave the room, which is almost as good. LOL it's 24F and snowing I'm not doing it outside.)

That bottle says two hours until handling on it, so I left it two hours, and then I put up the plates that were in spots where the painting was done or wasn't happening, hence my example image being against a tiled wall.

The screwdriver immediately scratched the first one a little bit, but not super obviously. But I kind of would expect a screwdriver to scratch just about anything, so that doesn't mean much.

I won't guarantee how well these'll hold up but if you were interested in doing something like that, there's how it worked. (Hi, future me, you're welcome for writing it down lol.)

I'm sort of sorry for no more process pictures but honestly most of it was following whimsy and doing what I felt like and kind of drawing on what I hadn't realized was a lot lot lot of hours of past paint-handling in my life, so pictures wouldn't help anyone else recreate this. But it did remind me that I love to paint and should do that more. So, I'll try, I guess.

Hero and Villain go to Sky Zone

Hero dodged to the left, then quickly to the right. Bright red pillars scattered around them, and they weaved gracefully between them. They grabbed the coarse ropes of a net, and scrambled upwards as fast as their tangled limbs could take them. They risked a glance to their left and caught a glimpse of Villain doing the same. They quickly reached up, using their trained grip strength to traverse a ten foot gap in their path. They had to be faster. They had to work harder. They had to win.

Their feet hit the ground with painful reverberation, but there was no time to stop and rest. Diving forward, they crawled through the darkened tunnel, their knees sliding on the slick material as they pushed forward. Up ahead, they could see the light at the end of the tube illuminating an open plain occupied only by the spinning blades of the final obstacle.

They reached it in record time, wasting not even a second to deliberate. They saw a gap and they lunged for it. A blade came hurtling towards them and they jumped, moving forward a step before the next one came. They leapt over the following blade, clearing it just before something crashed into them from behind. Sprawled out flat, they lifted their head to locate their assailant. Unfortunately, they forgot to calculate for the velocity of the forgotten obstacle. While Villain ducked under the last blade and made it to the gap in the wall, Hero was left behind to get smacked in the head.

Dazed, Hero finally managed to stumble off the padded plain and onto more solid ground.

“That’s the most impressive run I’ve seen today,” a man in a red polo shirt congratulated, but the two finishers were already racing past him.

Seeing an opening, Villain ran past and grabbed a long pole, then dashed onto a long beam and turned to face Hero.

All around the open building, young eyes followed the two enthusiastic players.

Hero, accepting the challenge, grabbed a pole for themselves and followed Villain out onto the beam.

“You picked the wrong section. My balance is unmatched,” Hero taunted, holding up their red weapon with two cushioned ends.

Villain replied, matching Hero’s stance with their blue padded weapon, “Really? How’s your hit absorption?”

Villain swung for the ribs and was blocked, red colliding with blue in a struggle for leverage. Both opponents swayed unsteadily, their feet wobbling and their eyes scanning for possible landing zones below them.

When they inevitably both went tumbling into a sea of primary colors, screams of victory followed them both.

Foam blocks were flying five, then ten feet in the air. Blurs of red, yellow, and blue obscured the views of the children who stood wide-eyed at the edge of the pit. One cube veered far off course, hitting a young girl in the face. She and the others wisely took a step back. Oblivious to the stunned—but unharmed— child, the polyurethane war continued.

Villain was the first to their feet, and they abandoned the pit and headed for where the floor turned black and bouncy, broken by a grid of red padding. They bounced diagonally to the farthest corner where the trampolines covered the walls as well as the floor. Hero, hot on their tail, jumped between the squares at an impressive speed.

Before they could reach Villain, they were caught on the wrist by different man in a red shirt and khaki shorts.

“Hey, it’s time to go,” he said, tapping his wrist at his watch.

“What?” Hero asked in confusion, looking down at their own wrist where a yellow paper band laid.

Beyond them, Villain stopped bouncing to watch the scene unfold.

“I’m sorry, you only paid for an hour,” the attendant explained patiently.

“But- But! What about him!” Hero pointed an accusatory finger towards the villain, who looked nothing short of absolutely overjoyed by Hero’s situation.

“His band is purple. He paid for two hours.”

“What?! Then can’t I just pay for more?”

“Sorry sir, we’re full. You’re going to have to give back the socks and leave,” he spoke politely, but the corners of his mouth were frayed even with the classic customer-service smile, and it was clear he was reaching the end of his shift.

Hero deflated, knowing they couldn’t argue with the poor minimum-wage employee in front of them without compromising their morals and their public image.

“You heard the man,” Villain mocked, moving closer to the hero.

Hero’s jaw remained discarded on the floor as they reached a bench on which they could sit down and start peeling to borrowed socks from their feet.

“This isn’t over,” they called over their shoulder as they walked past a smug Villain who stood with their arms crossed over their chest.

“Sure it isn’t, just like you weren’t knocked off first.”

Hero froze, seething, but wisely chose to keep walking.

The kids were watching, after all.

it's that time of year again where i share the gifts i have made because no one i know is on this webbed site :)

we'll start with the little cat bowl holders i made for my friend to go with her boho x cottagecore theme she's aiming for in her home, and ironically ended up matching the cat tree she purchased after i painted these. i used interior paint samples i had left over from last year (don't do that), but being latex they were going to remain forever soft so i had to coat them in epoxy resin for durability against bumps and water. but in the end, that was better than the other option of polyurethane which would have risked yellowing them as polycrylic in my experience is also a softer finish. but make note to use a cabinet paint for anything that could possibly receive daily use (eyeing my dresser and nightstands).

next is for my other friend: two simple, elegant yet rustic geometrical plant propagation wall decor pieces - brought to you by late night googling. had to invest in a router for this one, and a new drill bit, because apparently i am good at picking projects i don't have the tools for. i love the espresso stain - which i used on a record crate and record cubbie - and felt the gold tied the rich grains and matte of the chalkboard paint together well. yeah! chalkboard paint! that way she can write the plant and propagation start date, should she choose. (sadly the tape pulled off the gold and the black bled, so i didn't risk a repaint outside of small touch-ups.)

this one is a last minute gift for my brother. i recently painted ornaments we've had for years (some dating back to 2007) that were to "represent" each of our pets - past and present. they never looked like them, so decided to fix that this year. he was quite impressed with the end result, specifically of the cats, so i got a tube of cats and found one that best represented his (bullet) in structure, stance, and coat length.

i'm quite pleased with the outcome of all of these. they're all handmade so contain a multitude of imperfections, but i still think everyone will love them (at least hope). i am considering making some propagation hangers for myself, but twas not an easy feat, so may hold off for a while lol

Villa Medusa, 2006

Exhibition of 3 large chandelier-like structures, based on 19th-century engraved images by German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, made of transparent silicone rubber. Hosfelt Gallery, New York, November 2006

The 3 works are based on the 19th-Century German zoologist Ernst Haeckel's engravings of medusae (the Greek word for jellyfish). As images themselves, they're strongly suggestive of some sort of organic chandeliers or lighting . Of great inspiration were Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka exquisitely wrought, tiny glass marine specimens, which include jellyfish, within the collection of the Harvard Natural History Museum.

Using a scaled up 2-D pattern, I made the initial forms in clay, from which I made 2-part plaster molds, then cast each form in polyurethane rubber. There are about 800 pieces of individual pieces of rubber in total, stitched together with monofilament. The rubber forms are suspended by an armature made of copper tubing. The works radiates light by internal lighting fixtures.

All 3 works took about a year and a half to make. I made most of the forms and molds whilst on a 7-month residency at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. During that winter I read Herman Melville's Moby Dick, which at times seemed as interminable as a New England winter. Especially the 10-page comparison of the "whiteness of the whale"... Somehow, engaged in the construction of my own behemoth, and the not so thin veiling of homoerotic longing, helped keep me aboard the Pequod.

Disliked piece:

 Peter Bagehot, On Hold #3, 2015, mixed media (aluminum, wood, etalon, plastic, iron, textile, and polyurethane foam), 115 3/8 × 135 3/4 × 90 1/2 in

  In Peter Buggenhout’s “On Hold #3” we see an arrangement of various objects, that seem to be construction materials and decoration items. To me, it almost looks like a room that imploded and those are the only remains of it. Visually, I must admit, that it is an interesting piece, specially the way it seems to balance only on that object (which I clearly could not identify) and the wall. However, I can’t help but dislike it, I find it visually unappealing, possibly because it reminds me of the piles of waste that constructions leave behind, and honestly, I don’t understand it (there was also no description of the piece). I know those are very shallow reasons to dislike an artwork, but besides of the impressive balance of the piece, there is nothing I find visually appealing.

2. Liked piece:

Bertozzi & Casoni Composizione No. 8, 2005 Glazed ceramic 62 3/16 x 35 x 16 ½ inches

  In this piece by Giampaolo Bertozzi and Stefano Dal Monte Casoni, “Composizione No.8,” we see a series of abandoned medicine cabinets filed with seemingly used items. It does not seem like a very impressive or beautiful piece at first glance, in fact I find the rendered unsanitary conditions of the cabinets quite unappealing. What I find incredibly interesting about this piece, is the media it is made from. Almost everything, from the cups, the figurines, to the tubes and cans “made of metal,” and  the cabinets, is actually made out of ceramic. The attention to detail and mastery of this medium -which is not the easiest to use, specially for hyperrealism- had me speechless.

Market Drivers

1. Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases The global burden of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders, has been steadily increasing. These conditions often require long-term management, including regular intravenous (IV) therapy. The need for effective and reliable venous access devices, such as PIVCs, has thus become more pronounced. As healthcare systems across the world grapple with the growing demand for chronic disease management, the PIVC market is poised to benefit significantly.

2. Growing Geriatric Population The world is witnessing a demographic shift with an increasing number of elderly individuals. The aging population is more susceptible to chronic diseases and often requires repeated hospital visits, surgeries, and long-term care. This demographic trend is a key driver for the PIVC market, as elderly patients frequently need intravenous access for various treatments.

3. Advancements in Technology Innovations in catheter design and materials have enhanced the safety and efficacy of PIVCs. For instance, the development of safety-engineered catheters with features like retractable needles and closed systems has reduced the risk of needlestick injuries and infections. Furthermore, the use of advanced materials like polyurethane and silicone has improved catheter flexibility and patient comfort, driving the adoption of these devices in clinical settings.

4. Demand for Minimally Invasive Procedures There is a growing preference for minimally invasive procedures in the medical field, driven by their advantages, including reduced patient discomfort, shorter recovery times, and lower risks of complications. PIVCs play a crucial role in these procedures, providing reliable venous access with minimal trauma. The increasing adoption of minimally invasive techniques is, therefore, contributing to the expansion of the PIVC market.

Challenges and Opportunities

While the PIVC market is growing, it faces challenges such as the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) and the high cost of advanced PIVCs. However, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation. Companies are investing in research and development to create PIVCs with improved safety features and infection control mechanisms. Additionally, the rise of home healthcare services is expected to open new avenues for market growth, particularly for portable and easy-to-use PIVCs.

Choosing the Best Feeding Tubes for Your Patient’s Needs

Choosing the right feeding tube for a patient is important. It can make a big difference in their comfort, health, and overall care. There are many types of feeding tubes, and each one is designed for different needs. In this guide, we’ll compare different feeding tubes, explain what to consider when choosing one, and help you understand the materials and designs available.

Understanding the Different Types of Feeding Tubes

Feeding tubes come in several types. Here’s a simple look at the most common ones:

Nasogastric (NG) Tubes Nasogastric tubes are put in through the nose and go down to the stomach. They are usually used for short-term feeding, like after surgery or during a short illness. NG tubes are easy to place and remove, but they can be uncomfortable, especially if used for a long time. They can also slip out of place easily.

Gastrostomy (G-Tube) Gastrostomy tubes, or G-tubes, are inserted directly into the stomach through the abdomen. They are meant for long-term feeding. G-tubes stay in place better than NG tubes and are more comfortable over time. However, they require surgery to be put in, which comes with some risks like infection.

Jejunostomy (J-Tube) Jejunostomy tubes, or J-tubes, are similar to G-tubes but are inserted into the small intestine instead of the stomach. They are used for patients with severe stomach problems or those who can’t have food go into their stomach. J-tubes work well for these patients, but they are more complicated to care for.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Tubes PEG tubes are a type of G-tube that are placed using a camera (endoscope) in a less invasive procedure. They are used for long-term feeding and are similar to G-tubes in many ways. The main benefit is that they are easier to put in, so recovery is faster. However, there is still a chance of complications like infection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Feeding Tubes

There are several things to think about when choosing a feeding tube. These will help you find the best option for your patient.

Patient’s Medical Condition The patient’s health condition is the most important factor. For example, patients with trouble swallowing might do well with a G-tube or PEG tube, while those with severe stomach problems may need a J-tube. Knowing the patient’s specific needs will help you choose the right tube.

Duration of Tube Feeding Think about how long the patient will need the tube. NG tubes are good for short-term use because they are easy to put in and take out. But for long-term feeding, a more permanent option like a G-tube, J-tube, or PEG tube is better. These tubes are more stable and comfortable over time.

Comfort and Quality of Life Patient comfort is key. Low-profile tubes, often called “button tubes,” are small and sit close to the skin, making them more comfortable and easier to hide under clothes. They also allow patients to move around more easily. It’s important to consider how easy it is for the patient or caregiver to manage the tube, as this will affect daily life.

Ease of Use and Maintenance Different tubes require different levels of care. For example, NG tubes are simple to insert and remove, while J-tubes need more specialized care. Consider how much support the patient has when choosing a tube, as proper care is important to avoid problems like infections or blockages.

Comparing Feeding Tube Products by Material and Design

Feeding tubes are made from different materials and come in various designs. Here’s a look at what you need to know:

Silicone vs. Polyurethane Tubes Feeding tubes are usually made from silicone or polyurethane. Silicone tubes are flexible and comfortable, making them a good choice for long-term use.

When choosing a feeding tube, there are other things to think about beyond the tube itself.

Cost and Insurance Coverage The cost of feeding tubes can vary, depending on the type and brand. Some types of tubes may be covered by insurance, but it’s important to check what coverage is provided and what costs you may need to pay yourself.

Manufacturer Support and Warranty Some companies offer extra support, like customer service hotlines, educational materials, and warranties on their products. Choosing a top feeding tube manufacturer that offers good support can be reassuring, especially if you have any issues with the tube.

Nutritional Services and Accessories Patients with feeding tubes often need special nutrition formulas and tools, like syringes, extension sets, and feeding pumps. Working with a dietitian or healthcare provider can help make sure the patient gets the right nutrition and that all the accessories work well with the chosen tube.

Conclusion

Choosing the right feeding tube for your patient is an important decision. By thinking about the patient’s health, comfort, and the type of tube that will work best, you can make an informed choice. It’s also important to consider the costs, support services, and any extra needs the patient might have. Always work with healthcare providers to make sure you’re choosing the best tube for your patient’s needs, so they can have the best possible care and comfort.
