What are the known differences as well as additional features of Carrera Digital 132 when compared with the Evolution PRO-X and PRO-X respectively?

Carrera slot car systems like the Carrera Digital 132 allow players to race up to 6 cars simultaneously on a single track. These slot cars are digitally controlled and individually codable using a speed controller. They can be used on the Evolution model. They feature front light Xenon and rear/brake light, sound finish body work. The pace car as well as the autonomous car can be operated. Players can customize maximum speed as well as the braking performance of the vehicle. The pit stop lane comes as an accessory and is compatible with the PRO-X. The track can be extended using any track material scale 1:24.

What is the technical data and scale of the Carrera Digital 132?

• Scale of tracks 1:24 scale, scale of vehicles 1:32, track width: 198 mm, transformer: 14.8 volts, 3.5 amp
• Up to 6 available for digital slot car racing

Does the Carrera Digital 132 Black Box feature six controller connections or is it only at 4?

The Carrera Digital 132 Black box still feature at least four controller connections. The IR system needs to be utilized in case 5 or 6 cars are needed for racing.

How is this Possible?

This can be achieved by using the speed controller extension box which is plugged in the connection of the speed controller 1 and therefore allows for a total of six speed controllers to be used.   Another option would be through a wireless connection. Connecting to Black Box Tower 1 and/or 2 in order to be able to control cars 1 to 4 via Wireless. Black Box connection 1 and 4 results in controlling speed regulators for car number 5 and 6.

Can the wireless option be combined with the Carrera Digital 132 or is there any fixed standard that needs to be followed?

Typically, the 2 systems are unrestricted. There are fixed controller connections for address 5 and 6. Both controller connections at the Carrera Digital 132 Black Box right hand side are specifically intended for address 5 and 6 with the IR system plugged in. Technically, only 4 cars may be controlled for the wireless option. Car number 5 and 6 have to be controlled via cable speed controllers located on the Black Box.

The Holy Grail in the field of Medicine is to discover a substance that is able to effectively attack cancerous cells without destroying healthy tissue around it. From focused treatment regimens like monoclonal antibodies to surgery, cancers has still successfully evaded treatment that discreetly and separately attacks it without harming nearby tissue.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is basically the manipulation of matter at a molecular and even atomic level in order to penetrate living cells is signifying hope for opening up a new front line against the war on deadly diseases such as Ebola and cancer.

According to Dr. Thomas Webster, the chair of chemical engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, significant research into medical nanotechnology is gaining ground and the medical establishment is beginning to take notice. At the heart of the technology is the ability to be able to attach drugs, and in some instance metals and minerals, to nanoparticles so that they would bind themselves to life threatening cancer cells and viruses.

Gold Nanoparticles

In one particular study, Dr. Webster’s team is developing techniques to allow gold nanoparticles to cancer cells. Infrared light would serve to heat up the nanoparticles, which kills the cancer cells, but leave healthy cells alive to perform their function.

According to Dr. Webster, “This technology has been studied for the better part of a decade, but we’re looking at ways of making it better, one that we’ve created in the lab we’ve called ‘nanostars.’

“A star shape has a lot more surface area, so they can kill cancer cells faster than a nanosphere because they heat up faster.

“Even if it’s carrying a drug, a star has a lot more surface area on which to attach it — it’s got a different morphology.”

The Future, Today

While nanoparticle technology is still considered in its infancy, nanostructured surfaces are already forming part of the medical firmament. Dr. Webster says, “These are being approved by the Food and Drug Administration and we’re seeing better bone growth, better tissue growth and we’re seeing the ability to decrease infection using these materials.”

These developments, he said, were helping patients in the here and now.

“What we’re using with this is the same materials that we are implanting today — so titanium for hip implants, polyvinyl chloride for catheters, silicone for breast implants.”

“We’re doing a lot of work with putting nanofeatures on materials that could stop cancers from coming back.”

There are approximately fifteen million households in the US that totally rely on private wells for their drinking water. Each year, there is about ninety thousand new wells that are drilled in order to accommodate more people that require access to it. Well contamination is a serious concern that needs to be addressed not just by the authorities but the community as well. Volatile organic chemicals from nearby factories may seep into the ground and find their way into aquifers, thereby contaminating them. Changes such as taste, odor and color are some of the symptoms that signify you have water quality issues that need to be addressed promptly.

Appearance

If your well water appears frothy or cloudy then chances are it has been contaminated by chemical detergents. If there are scaly residues present and soaps do not dissolve as they should, then the water has a high level of “hardness” due to the presence of manganese, copper, lead or iron. The presence of stains on plumbing fixtures and laundry may also indicate a corrosion issue that needs to be addressed promptly.

Odor

The smell of petrol is a sure sign that your well system will require VOC removal in order to be considered clean and safe for human consumption. Petrol can easily enter a well system from buried fuel tanks located at nearby gasoline stations, drilling operations or a recent chemical spillage. Testing for these chemicals is a time consuming and expensive process. Bad odor from water may also result from sewage leak issues as well as pipe corrosion problems.

Taste

Salty taste in water means that there is too much sodium already present. This issue usually arises in coastal areas where seawater found its way into the well water system. Leaching into a well system caused by heavily salted roadways can also be the causative factor. Despicable water taste may also be the result of pipe corrosion or the presence of hydrogen sulfide.

Recurring Illness

Recurring gastro-intestinal problems is a sure sign that the well water has been contaminated with coliform bacteria and viruses. This is usually caused by runoff from agricultural lands or contamination with municipal and industrial waste water.

Concrete is known as one of the toughest construction materials available. It is composed of the binding agent cement along with an aggregate that is usually comprised of small to large pieces of gravel. Crumbling or flaking on the concrete surface is called spalling. Damaged concrete is not only unsightly but also dangerous if not addressed properly. Here is what you need to know about what causes concrete to crumble.

Freezing and Thawing

While concrete is known to be a very stable material, consistent freezing and thawing can cause it to become weak. According to concrete delivery Minneapolis MN experts, concrete remains porous and tends to absorb water. If this water gets trapped inside when it freezes, it will push the cement binder apart. The resulting expansion and contraction when the water melts again causes it to crumble. If you live in a climate region with winter weather that is cold enough to freeze water, sealing your concrete walkways and steps at least once a year can really do a lot in preventing spalling.

Minerals

According to ready mix concrete delivery Minneapolis MN providers, gravel used as the concrete aggregate feature certain mineral deposits that leech out slowly causing cracking and crumbling of concrete. Pyrites is usually the main cause of this problem in residential concrete. Other mineral of concern are silica and mica0, which cause deterioration if present in large amounts. Sophisticated concrete testing methods prevent these problems in new concrete but concrete used in older construction may be prone to this problem.

De-icing Salt

It is very dangerous to use a frost-covered concrete driveway. Therefore, sprinkling a bit of rock salt in order to encourage melting can offer the necessary traction needed but may also damage the surface of the concrete. Rock salt causes pitting and crumbling as a result of a chemical reaction. The use of alternative de-icing crystals such as magnesium chloride and potassium chloride can prevent this issue from occurring.

Wrong Water Ratio

If you do not follow properly the manufacturer recommendations when it comes to mixing concrete for your DIY projects, chances are you either have placed too much which can cause concrete to be weak or too little which makes it too hard. Use only as much water as the mix instructions indicate so as to prevent weak concrete that crumbles easily when exposed to pressure.
