a curious peep-hole, a time machine, a tunnel of color and a projection room are but a few of the surprises that have been included in the project.

Eschewing a Power Jet carb, KTM still went high-tech with a 38mm PWK bat wing carb (also known as the Air Striker or Air Glide carb). The bat wing design first surfaced on production Kawasaki’s in 1997 ago. The jetting was off, but fixable.

“We took off about 60 pounds and have a lighter front end,” the teacher explained. “We keep finding more ways to lighten it.”

While we have no complaints with the power or runtime in Turbo mode, standard mode simply sacrifices too much suction for those long, long runtimes. Given you get two swap-out batteries and a fast charger, it isn’t even necessary. The Bosch comprehensively outruns fixed-battery competitors like Dyson anyway.

To keep unfiltered oil from leaking into the center tube, a fiber or metal end disc is bonded to each end of the filter medium. Some brands forgo discs and use a sealant to create solid ends.

Back in 1992 I really wanted a Saab 900 Turbo. An older friend drove an ’87 900 Turbo and I loved that car. That’s the last Saab that I’ve yearned for, the 1994 900 was a huge step down.

The Fold has a horizontal clamshell design, where hard glass halves close like a book to protect a tender 7.3-inch plastic display inside. Samsung even includes a case in the Galaxy Fold box as extra armor for the glass exterior, in case you drop the phone.

Thus choosing the correct media is really a question of economics and considering the life-cycle costs, as well as the procurement price for the filters, their efficiency performance and their service life. For a gas turbine, a typical lifespan for a filter house or filter elements can range from 18 months to four years, depending on the environment.

The definitive first-generation Saab was the 96, built for some twenty years, until 1980. A more in-depth write-up can be found here, but  let’s just say Saab was doing a VW during all those years, with the biggest change coming in 1967, when impending emission regs killed the two-stroke once and for all. Ironic too, that an American-designed engine would be the only thing to fit under the hood in front of the axle line.

Brethren, we are once again gathered together to mourn the passing of another automobile company. Saab was of that rare breed of car that always had a band of devoted, aye, fanatical followers. In her prime, Saab could not fail to ignite the after-burners of anyone with a predilection to genuine character, speed, innovation, intelligence, and even sexy good looks (at times). Not bad for a company that never once designed a clean-sheet new engine and borrowed more platforms than Heidi Klum. But when you’re small and from Sweden, resourcefulness is essential: Saab finagled an existence in this brutal industry far longer than might have been expected.  But now she joins an august group of other fallen automotive heroes in Valhalla: Borgward, Panhard, Tatra, Kaiser, Glas, TVR, Jowett, etc…better that then whoring herself to another rich benefactor. But Saab’s story is worth retelling.

Temporary Bonding Adhesives are materials that create a reversible adhesive bond between two surfaces. This bond can be removed (known as deboning) after a set period of time, thus making it temporary in nature. Apart from applications in the industrial sector, temporary bonding adhesives are widely used for temporary bonding of a thin wafer and carrier material in semiconductor manufacturing. Thin wafers used in semiconductor packages are extremely fragile in nature and prone to damages during manufacturing processes. Temporary Bonding Adhesives provide adhesion between thin wafers and a slightly rigid wafer carrier, thereby providing support to the thin wafer and thus, protecting it from breakage, folding or warping during rigorous manufacturing processes. Temporary Bonding Adhesives are manufactured using a variety of chemical compositions, depending on the application they are being designed for and the types of manufacturing processes the semiconductor wafers are expected to go through.

• Examine the fuel line. If it is cracked – a common occurrence – replace it with a new one. If the fuel line is in good shape, use a can of compressed air to clear it.
