Conveyors are designed to fit into extremely tight spaces. But cantilever stand mounts from Dorner Manufacturing can help open them up. Cantilever stands support the conveyor from only one side, which opens the other side up for easy access and quick belt changes. This feature is ideal when conveyors are placed it tight locations or for applications that require a higher number than normal belt changes. Standard conveyor stands often have to be removed to facilitate a belt change; cantilever stands allow the belt to slide right off without removing stands, and by only ...

DETROIT – Non-cardiac surgery can be performed safely in patients with a heart device typically implanted into patients waiting for a transplant, according to a study at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump implanted in the chest to help a weakened heart pump blood. The devices are increasingly used in the United States, where heart failure affects five million people, but there are less than 3,000 donor organs available annually worldwide. Last year, nearly 2500 patients were implanted with the device in the ...

A new paper appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggests that people, governments, and institutions that shape the way people interact may be just as important for determining environmental conditions as the environmental processes themselves. "Tipping points," qualitative changes in an ecosystem that often result in reduced ecosystem health and are difficult and costly to reverse increasingly concern environmental scientists. The prevailing assumption among scientists has been that tipping points are fixed values. However, a unique ...

PHILADELPHIA – (April 15, 2011) – The proteins that provide cells with a sense of personal space could lead to a therapeutic target for Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), an inherited cancer disorder, according to researchers at The Wistar Institute.

In Massachusetts, workers' compensation benefits are available to those who suffer injury in the course of employment. The amount of weekly benefits an injured worker will receive is determined by the average weekly wage calculation, which is the average weekly earnings the employee took home for the year prior to the date of his or her injury. While this calculation may seem rather straightforward, it can be more complex and nuanced than one might anticipate. Many injured workers are surprised to learn that benefits that their employers paid prior to the injury, such ...

In a recent decision by the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents, an employee who suffered serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident on his way to work was denied workers' compensation benefits after a judge found that the accident was caused by the employee's willful misconduct. The employee in the case flew from his home in Florida to work as a welder at his employer's facility in Massachusetts, an incinerator in Haverhill. The morning after he arrived, he was unable to locate a supervisor, so he assumed he would be working the day shift beginning the ...

Colorado distracted driving accidents can result from many types of negligent behavior. Using cell phones and other handheld electronic devices, eating, applying makeup, and talking to passengers are among the most common reasons for a driver to forget about the road for only a second or two. Just a moment's inattention is enough for a speeding vehicle to run a red light, rear-end another vehicle, miss a curve or drift over the center line into oncoming traffic. Colorado law prohibits texting by all drivers and bans cell phone use by drivers under the age of 18, and ...
