Socket Mobile’ (SCKT) CEO Kevin Mills on Q3 2017 Results | Extension Sockets

The same trip would have, conservatively and based on city prices, cost more than $3,000 in petrol in a conventional sedan. Charging the car cost $150.90 in total, partly because people often did not want payment.

“These injuries are largely unintentional and avoidable,” said Lauren Umstattd, MD, resident physician in the MU Department of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery and co-author of the study. “Due to their curiosity, young children are particularly at risk for oral electrical burns caused by household electrical cords, outlets and appliances. These burns can lead to devastating functional and cosmetic complications, which may require multiple corrective operations. We want families to be informed and safe while enjoying the holiday season.”

If you’d like to check the wiring yourself, it’s not too difficult. First, make sure the breaker to the outlet is switched to the OFF position. Then, using a screwdriver, remove the faceplate from the outlet and remove the screws that hold the outlet in place. This will allow you to pull the outlet a few inches out from the outlet box.

Here, the first figure is the voltage, which as we explained above, is really, really important. A charger that says 100-240V can be safely used anywhere, and you should check this figure whenever you plug in any device in a new country. The second number is the amperage which shows you how much current is being drawn. In India, we have 5A and 15A sockets, but most of the rest of the world will use a single socket, of between 10A and 16A. Unless you’re plugging in something with a heavy draw like a radiator or an air conditioner, you probably don’t have to worry about this figure. The last number is the frequency, but since it’s related to voltage, it’s really unlikely that you’ll be somewhere that has voltage you can use, but not at a suitable frequency.

Deaths by electrocution are categorised as accidental, and so statistics on deaths due to plugs are scarce. But in a 2009 study, Ryan Blumenthal of the Department of Forensic Medicine at the University of Pretoria, found an average of around 30 deaths a year by low-voltage electrocution – just in Gauteng.

“Our message to the importers is that we are not happy destroying these goods because it is a drain to the national economy and our hard-earned foreign exchange.

Australia’s most affordable electric vehicle is here. The best part? It doesn’t drive like a science experiment.

Sure, you could take a set of seven adapters and sift through them to find the right one for your time across the pond, or you could just grab the OREI European Plug Adapter and call it a day.

• read and follow the manufacturers’ instructions• check your Christmas lights are not damaged or broken before use and look out for loose wires• use only replacement bulbs of the same type and rating as those originally supplied with the lights• ensure all outdoor lights are connected via a 30mA RCD protected socket• replace failed lamps immediately to prevent overheating• ensure plugs and transformers are plugged in indoors, even if the lighting is suitable for outdoor use• switch your lights off and unplug them before you go to bed or go out• keep lights away from flammable decorations and materials that can burn easily

And it doesn’t reserve gimbals for drones. Its Ronin family has enjoyed success in the pro video and film production arena, substituting for a Steadicam when using big, full-frame cameras. It first miniaturized the handheld gimbal with the Osmo, a 2016 release with an integrated camera, and expanded the series with the Osmo Mobile, which works with your smartphone’s camera—the current version is the Osmo Mobile 2.

Furthermore, the report assesses gross sales (volume & value), market share, market size, market growth rate based variety of applications. The Industrial Plugs and Sockets Consumption report also focuses on regional and provincial markets to analyse manufacturers, niche market segments, industry environment, raw material resources, and rivalry of the specific marketplace.

We met David Binger, the chief technology officer at Forced Physics, and Terri Frits, vice president of sales and marketing at the company at the recent Colo+Cloud conference in Dallas. They brought a functional demonstration of JouleForce Conductor, the company’s fully passive air cooling solution plus a static display unit. By “fully passive” we mean that the Conductor has no moving parts (no integrated fan) and no integrated closed-loop liquid circulation to help spread heat to the its fins. Using large, efficient, reliable industrial fans, a purpose-built rack of Conductor-based server modules can cool a significant compute cluster using ambient air anywhere on Earth without using air conditioning or evaporative cooling.
