COLUMBUS, OH, May 02, 2013 (Press-News.org) Newton Research Labs and Buckeye Shapeform, a manufacturer of custom enclosures and precision metal deep drawn parts, have partnered to design and fabricate a specialized enclosure solution that could be easily modified to fit the needs of three recently developed nuclear industry products.
Newton Research Labs develops and manufactures precision, non-contact inspection and measurement solutions based on proven machine vision technology and innovative software applications. Its powerful, easy-to-use and industrially rugged systems serve a wide range of industries with camera-based and robotics products, many of which need high-quality enclosures to protect the valuable components inside each system.
Newton Research Labs turned to its long-time partner for modified enclosures, Buckeye Shapeform, when enclosure units that they had contracted to be manufactured from bent sheet metal at a local shop proved to be of poor quality and fit for their products. The engineers at Newton needed a supplier that could fabricate and finish a customized, high-quality enclosure and chassis that had a crisp, professional appearance, as well as supply a 3D model of a standard 1U enclosure that they could modify to house three newly developed products: the NM200E PWR Core Verification System, the NM200UW Nuclear Underwater Laser Scanner and the BWR RPV Dryer Robot.
Engineers at Buckeye Shapeform and Newton Research Labs worked side-by-side to develop a custom enclosure solution. Buckeye Shapeform engineers sent 3D AutoCAD model drawings to the engineers at Newton Research Labs that allowed them to easily modify Buckeye's FC-B enclosure to fit their needs. Newton's engineers customized the FC-B enclosures to house the control components of each product.
The enclosures featured modular characteristics that allowed the primary unit to be used in all three products by simply changing the front panel. The FC-B enclosure was further modified so it would attach to the metal electronics rack within a molded, high-impact airline-transportable case that formed each product's control console. When the design was finalized, Buckeye Shapeform fabricated and finished custom enclosures to exactly match the Newton engineers' specifications.
"Buckeye Shapeform was able to provide us with a completely customized enclosure system, including longer length, custom punched top and bottom covers, pre-installed PEM fasteners and custom machined and silk screened front and back covers," Newton Research Labs Senior Mechanical Engineer Gary Anderson said.
"The most notable part of working with Buckeye Shapeform is that when our engineers order a product or process, Buckeye's people suggest alternate and effective ideas," Anderson said.
During the project, Buckeye Shapeform found a way to save Newton Research Labs hundreds of dollars by reviewing its inventory of existing die tools and suggesting one that had a design for punching ventilation slots that was very close to specifications of the Newton product. Newton engineers easily repositioned some electronic components inside the unit and saved on the expense of purchasing a custom-made die tool.
The successful partnership between these two companies is a testament to their dedication to developing solutions that ultimately benefit the end user. Since their partnership began in 2004, Buckeye Shapeform and Newton Research Labs have worked side-by-side to provide their customers with professional-grade products and service.

May is "Eggs-ceptional" at Bruegger's Bagels
2013-05-02
Bruegger's Bagels kicks off National Egg Month today by highlighting the chain's second-favorite menu item (after fresh-baked New York-style bagels, of course) with an eggs-traordinary happy hour and the return of an eggs-tra special bagel.
Starting May 8 for a limited run, the bagel bakery will bring back its fan-favorite Egg Bagel, voted out of retirement to celebrate the brand's 30th anniversary. Like all of Bruegger's 15-plus varieties, the Egg Bagel is baked fresh all day in each of the chain's more than 300 bakeries.

JFAST scientists retrieve temperature data from Japan Trench observatory
2013-05-01
With the successful retrieval of a string of instruments from deep beneath the seafloor, an international team of scientists has completed an unprecedented series of operations to obtain crucial temperature measurements of the fault that caused the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
Emily Brodsky, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UC Santa Cruz, helped organize the Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST), which successfully drilled across the Tohoku earthquake fault last year and installed a borehole observatory nearly 7 kilometers ...
1 step closer to a blood test for Alzheimer's
2013-05-01
Australian scientists are much closer to developing a screening test for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
They identified blood-based biological markers that are associated with the build up of a toxic protein in the brain which occurs years before symptoms appear and irreversible brain damage has occurred.
"Early detection is critical if we are to make any real difference in the battle against Alzheimer's, giving those at risk a much better chance of receiving treatment earlier, before it's too late to do much about it," said Dr Samantha Burnham from CSIRO's ...
Health Affairs examines worldwide pursuit of the 'Triple Aim' in April 2013 issue
2013-05-01
Bethesda, MD -- In its April issue, Health Affairs examines how all high-income countries are struggling to achieve the so-called "Triple Aim" - better health and better health care at lower cost. The articles in this issue find that the United States and other high-income countries have much to learn with the "trade" in strategies and tactics likely to flow both ways.
Support for the April issue was made possible by The Commonwealth Fund, Britain's Nuffield Trust, and the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London.

HPV leaves its mark in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a form of cancer that affects the cells lining the middle part of the throat, including the soft palate, the base of the tongue, the tonsils, and the pharynx. High-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) are increasingly detected in patients with OPSCC; however, HPV-positive OPSCC is highly curable and patients with HPV have better survival compared to HPV-negative patients, whose cancers are usually associate with alcohol and tobacco use. To understand the ...

Searching for therapeutic synergy in primary effusion lymphoma
2013-05-01
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare, fatal form of aggressive B-cell lymphoma caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). The disease most commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV and the elderly. Because current treatment options are not effective, there is a great need for new PEL therapies. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Juan Carlos Ramos and colleagues at the University of Miami used an immunocompromised mouse model of PEL to determine the efficacy of Bortezomib/Vorinostat combination therapy, ...

2013-05-01
Charlottesville, VA (May 1, 2013). The Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group is pleased to announce publication of two new studies on dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®) and intracranial hemorrhage: one in the Journal of Neurosurgery and the other in Neurosurgical Focus.
Background
Dabigatran is an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) approved by the US FDA in 2010 to lower the risk of stroke and prevent systemic embolism in persons with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Unlike warfarin, the most popular drug prescribed for this condition, dabigatran carries a lower risk ...
'Dirty dozen' invasive species threaten UK
2013-05-01
The researchers, Dr Bellinda Gallardo and Dr David Aldridge from the University of Cambridge, focussed on the 'dirty dozen' – a group of high-risk invasive aquatic plants and animals. Some, like the killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus) and the bloody red mysid (Hemimysis anomala) are already in UK but have yet to spread. Others, such as the Asian clam (Corbicula fluminalis) and the marmokrebs, a crayfish (Procambarus fallax) may not yet have arrived.
Working with Species Distribution Models, which are routinely used to predict which regions most suit invasive species, ...
