2014-03-05

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, March 05, 2014 (Press-News.org) Exlar announces its Process Industry Brochure is now available in print form or by download from its website. Featuring Exlar's electro servo actuators, this brochure highlights the actuator's performance capabilities in process control applications, including power plants and oil and gas. With high efficiency and speed, 100% duty cycle meeting IEC S9 standards, and a long operating life, Exlar's electric actuators provide the ideal solution for modulating control valves.

Designed with patented technology, Exlar electric actuators convert the rotary motion of a motor directly to a linear force by integrating a roller screw or planetary gear head into a servo motor. This enables precise positioning capabilities, speeds up to 40 inches per second and a lifespan measured in hundreds of million strokes versus thousands in typical electric actuators.

Exlar actuators are a perfect choice for methane emission elimination on separators and other pressure valve applications in the oil and gas industry. With demanding hazardous environments, the oil and gas industry require actuators that can provide reliable, continuous operation with 12-48VDC and 120-220 VAC capabilities. Whether upstream or downstream, Exlar actuators provide dependability and control no matter the application demand.

In addition to oil and gas applications, Exlar actuators are also optimal for power plant applications, such as industrial gas turbines or dampers, that require reliable performance control for continuous operation. Exlar's innovative actuator technology meets these performance requirements by providing high speed, while maintaining precise positioning and feedback.

Exlar's electric actuators are ideal for a variety of process control applications, including:

Steam Turbines
Gas Turbines
Dampers
Choke Valves
Down Holes
Drill Rigs
Fracking and Completion Systems
Dump Valves
Pressure Valves
Gas Lift Valves
Compressor Scrubbers
Separators

Under the United States Constitution, evidence seized following an illegal entry into a home is inadmissible and should be suppressed from any criminal proceedings.

However, what if the person providing the consent to search the home is a houseguest? The recent United States Court of Appeals case of U.S. v. Arreguin provides a discussion of this area of the law.

The Gillette injury in Minn. workers' compensation law

2014-03-05

Most Minnesotans are familiar with workers' compensation: a no-fault system under state law in which employers carry insurance coverage for employee work-related injury. This compensation is the exclusive remedy for work-related harm; normally an employee may not also sue the employer for damages for the same injury. While it sounds straightforward, sometimes the connection between work and an injury is not easily discernible. In those cases, it can be particularly crucial for an injured Minnesota worker to retain an experienced workers' comp attorney to assist with ...

Why would an improving economy lead to more divorces?

2014-03-05

In the current economic climate, many couples have experienced financial hardship. Although the unemployment rate has recently improved, no one views the current situation as an economic boom period. According to a recent article by CNN Money, job growth remained slow in early ...
