The Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary 5711/1P, a slightly modest three-hand watch that commemorates the 40th anniversary of Nautilus, together with the large 49.25 mm wide Nautilus Chronograph Reference 5976/1G. When Patek Philippe launched the Nautilus 3700/1A in 1976, its 42 mm wide case soon earned it the nickname “Jumbo”. Now, some forty years later, Patek Philippe must double those figures with the 5711/1P in a 44.05 mm wide all-platinum case. That’s all you need to know.
If the “P” in the reference number hasn’t already been known to all Patek lovers, the 5711/1P has a Petite Wesselton (meaning very high purity/clarity grade) diamond set on the bezel. The 6 o’clock position marks that it is made of the most expensive precious metal usually used in Swiss luxury timepieces. Little changed since the first Nautilus was introduced in 1976, this bracelet is a hallmark of Gerald Genta’s original design, also entirely in platinum, with brushed links and polished center links.
The case diameter is 44.05 mm, which seems large, and is measured from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock, including the crown. On the other hand, the measurement from the 10 o’clock to the 4 o’clock position, excluding the crown protection and the corresponding “lugs” on the left side of the case, is only 40 mm, while the lugs of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary 5711 The pair lugs/1P are also a very wearable 44mm (to give you an idea, most 42mm diameter round best fake watches are 49 to 50mm lug to lug). That’s why the 44mm case can’t actually be worn so big. The waterproof level has not changed much in 40 years and remains at 120 meters.
In addition to the platinum case and bracelet, 18K white gold baton-style hour and minute hands (the seconds hand is in rhodium-plated brass) and some large baguette-cut hour markers on the dial add extra flair to the watch. The blue “garage door” dial of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary Reference 5711/1P. The dial is 18k yellow gold with PVD blue treatment, and the “40” above the “1976-2016” is a little less conspicuous and disruptive than the one on the 5976/1G chronograph. The blue of the Nautilus has always looked good.
The movement inside is the Patek Philippe 324 SC automatic movement, which powers many Nautilus and other watches. It features the time and date with a central seconds hand (white date wheel at 3 o’clock), as well as other standard cheap Patek Philippe items such as the Gyromax balance wheel, Spiromax hairspring and, of course, the Patek Philippe Seal. Despite these advantages, the power reserve is expected to be between 35 and 45 hours, which is acceptable given that the 324SC is only 3.3mm thick and features 21-karat gold rotors – though we’re still not sure what caused the 10 Caliber approved changing hours, without the need for a chronograph or complicated calendar functions.
We briefly touched on some Nautilus history when we discussed the 5976/1G, but 40 years is relatively new in the brand’s 175+ year history. At this point, we’ve moved beyond the irony of a platinum version of a watch representing a luxury steel sports watch, which is irony in itself. The return of the brown natural cork box is a cool “throwback” of the historic character, an authentic replica of the sleek 1976 original. Like the original Nautilus, it is designed to evoke vivid associations with the proud ocean liners that inspired the porthole design of this casually elegant timepiece. The 40th Anniversary cork has a polished stainless steel frame at the base and hinged lid, and a steel plaque on the front, also a faithful replica of the 1976 original.
Patek Philippe fake inaugurated the grand exhibition ‘The Art of Watches’ Tokyo 2023. After Dubai in 2012, Munich in 2013, London in 2015, New York in 2017 and Singapore in 2019, the renowned independent family-owned watchmaker chose Japan and Tokyo as destinations for the sixth edition of the fair.
From June 10 to June 25, 2023, the public will be able to enjoy a full range of immersive experiences and gain an in-depth understanding of the brand’s heritage, craftsmanship and behind-the-scenes operations.
“The Art of Clockwork” brings together over 500 timepieces and objects, demonstrating a wealth of different types of expertise. In particular, visitors can admire the full current collection of the manufacturer as well as rare handicrafts, including micro-painting on enamel, cloisonné enamel, hand-carving, micro-wood marquetry, hand-guilloché and gem-setting.

Completing the offering is a reinterpretation of the ladies’ Moonphase model (Ref. 7121/200G-010) and two elegant and understated new Calatrava models (Ref. 6127G-010 and 7127G-010). Discount replica watches
200-meter water resistance, +/- 10-second monthly accuracy, five-day power reserve, ceramic bezel and a dial reminiscent of the dynamic undulations of ocean waves, all wrapped in “high-strength titanium”: Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver The SLGA023 watch really seems to have it all, and we checked it out for ourselves at Watches & Wonders 2023 to see how it fares in the metal.
In 2020, Grand Seiko launched the SLGH002, a limited-edition timepiece powered by the next-generation caliber 9SA5, and a new design language now called Evolution 9 Style. As Grand Seiko explains: “The goal of Evolution 9 is to take the best elements of Grand Seiko’s design and improve upon it in a way that respects the brand’s history and embraces the future.” Its designer, Kiyotaka Sakai, started working on it in 2017 Develop this new design code and turn the clock back to 1967, back to the original epic 44GS. Like last year, 2023 will also expand the collection with more sporty styles, Sakai added: “I see no reason why we can’t use the Evolution 9 Style approach, which is the pointer and pointer approach and the lower gravity in the center, in the The same is true in sports watches.
The 44GS from 1967 was a rather unremarkable watch – until you saw the shape. It’s as angular, cool, and distinctive as Darth Vader’s helmet, and frankly, many Grand Seiko watches from the past decade have shown a similar approach to case profile design, well before the Evolution 9 Appear. That said, the concept of the Evolution 9 is not just for a single mid-century reference, but also for more contemporary pieces (both formal and sporty). Nonetheless, Grand Seiko seems excited about the “Evo 9” case style, which features arched quarters, pronounced crown protection and faceted treatment with flat brushed upper elements and distortion-free mirrored lugs on the top and sides .
While Grand Seiko prices have been rising over the years—nearly doubling in some cases in the past five years—the quality and sophistication of the Grand Seiko Zaratsu case finishing can hardly match that of the competition, Even over the $10,000 mark. Oddly enough, the bracelet finish is not always the same, as the brand more frequently opts for full brushed bracelets without any polished links, not even the narrow links on either side of the center link. These may seem more technical and purposeful, but, when seen in metal, they rarely, if ever, match the sophistication of the watch heads, which feature smooth ceramic bezels, polished Bezel profile, crown and lug bevels. The SLGA023 is in this configuration, and we can’t help but think a little more bling on the bracelet would have been nice.
The dial of the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is as much a piece of jewelry as it is a functional part, like its case. Japan’s coastal waters are influenced by the Kuroshio Current, one of the world’s major ocean currents, and the nutrient-rich waters of the Oyashio form one of the most diverse marine areas in the world. It is the dynamic ebb and flow of these ocean currents that the Ushio dial pattern expresses – ushio means tide in Japanese (which is also a name). Grand Seiko has been mastering these crease dials for years – think fan favorites Birch and Snowflake, or the gorgeous Shosho – but with its softer, less processed and more natural patterns, this might just be the best yet one of.
The hands and hour markers of the SLGA023 are coated with LumiBrite, one of the brightest and therefore most interesting luminescent paints used on watches today. The hands are shaped differently, making them easier to distinguish and read, while the hour markers are applied and stand quite high from the plane of the dial, giving this dial its own high-end look. The high-strength titanium bezel is very wide, with blue ceramic inserts inside, and some pretty serious cutouts around its perimeter for a better grip. Only dots are illuminated on the bezel, the rest of the markings are white.
On the wrist, the SLGA023 is big — probably too big, unless you have really wide wrists. Measuring 43.8mm wide, 51.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.8mm thick, the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is a chunky dive replica best watches. A decade or more ago, few people would have rolled their eyes at hearing those measurements, but, with ushio taking the big watch trend, Grand Seiko may hope to start rolling out more compact dive watches soon.
On the plus side, the SLGA023 uses all that real estate to pack some serious tech, and is actually some of the best in its class. The Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is powered by a 9RA5 Spring Drive movement – to learn everything you need to know about Spring Drive’s incredible history and performance, read my post on the subject here authoritative article. The 9RA5 is the latest major development in this technology and the most powerful Spring Drive base movement to date. It is 0.8mm thinner than the 9R6 series (down from 4.2mm to just 3.4mm), but offers an extended 5-day power reserve and features an indicator at 9 o’clock on the dial. Grand Seiko claims that its one-piece center bridge gives it “significantly greater durability and higher transmission efficiency,” and that it still boasts an accuracy of +/-10 seconds per month (also known as the daily maximum tolerance +/-0.5 seconds) per day). Unfortunately, the SLGA023 comes with a solid bottom cover, so you can’t see the 9RA5 inside.
A stunning dial, a beautiful titanium case, and one of the most innovative and high-performance spring-driven movements is exactly what we’ve come to expect from a Grand Seiko. SLGA023 meets all these requirements, but still has some shortcomings. While the market for large dive cheap men watches is still huge, we’d like to see Grand Seiko shift its focus to more compact and therefore less bulky ways to enjoy all this unfiltered horological greatness.
For centuries, the tourbillon has been at the forefront of complex craftsmanship in watchmaking. Rotating on a plane, it attracts the attention of countless people, but the tourbillon has never broken through the limit of dimensions. However, the Astronomia celestial body series brought by Jacob & Co. has made a revolutionary breakthrough, making the plane tourbillon three-dimensional, allowing it to rotate and rotate in three directions. This multi-axis tourbillon undoubtedly makes the timepiece more accurate, and it is like a cosmic creature floating on the wrist, which brings infinite shock.
Origin, three-axis tourbillon Jacob Alebo, founder of Jacob & Co., had no interest in following the example of tourbillons of other brands, so he chose the flying tourbillon as the initial creative starting point and revolutionized the tradition of the watchmaking industry. Launch of the Astronomia watch with an unprecedented gravitational three-axis tourbillon.
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia has four “satellite” arms that make one revolution around the dial every 10 minutes.
The first of the four arms is connected to the three-axis tourbillon, which rotates in 60 seconds on the first axis, two and a half minutes on the second axis, and circles the dial in 10 minutes on the third axis.
The second “satellite” is actually a 288-faceted Jack & Bowie exclusive cut diamond that rotates on its axis in 30 seconds and circles the dial in 10 minutes. The diamonds are cut and shaped by hand, and each diamond has 288 individual facets. The exclusive cut diamonds used in the Astronomia series watch need to guarantee their roundness and weight with the “satellites” attached to the other three arms (time display, three-axis tourbillon, magnesium globe) Keep the weight consistent, if there is any discrepancy, it will be declared scrapped. This exclusive Jack & Bao cut diamond takes two weeks of dedicated effort to create one, absolutely meticulous work.
The third “satellite”, directly opposite the tourbillon, is the time display, which circles the dial every 10 minutes. This was another challenge for the designers, engineers and watchmakers at Jacob & Co. to make the time display sub-dial rotate around the watch and rotate at the same time. If the 12/6 o’clock position is not correct, the It will greatly increase the difficulty of reading time for people. In order to solve this problem, Jake & Bao designed a unique patented differential transmission system to ensure that when the time display disk rotates around the dial, its 12/6 o’clock position is always facing the watch holder.
The fourth “satellite” is a miniature magnesia spray-painted earth, which rotates in 30 seconds and takes 10 minutes to circle the dial.
The three-axis tourbillon rotates non-stop around the dial, so watchmakers need to keep the weight of each tourbillon accurate, otherwise it will affect several other arms of the Astronomia. Although the three-axis tourbillon of the Astronomia series is very complicated to manufacture, it is definitely a visual feast, and it is also one of the many reasons why the Jacob & Co. Jackpot watch is unique in the world of watches.
See-through, unique “transparent” case The eye-catching rare metal and artificial sapphire crystal case shows everything incisively and vividly, and the crystal case of each replica watch Review is handcrafted. Usually flat man-made sapphire crystals are simple to process and can be manufactured in batches by machines that cannot handle the curved domed sapphire crystals of the Astronomia series. The sapphire crystal cases used by Jacob & Co. typically take several weeks to manufacture, using special equipment and tools to complete.
At the same time, the team of designers and engineers at Jacob & Co. Jake Bao felt that the traditional crown would not match the clean and clear lines of such a transparent case, and that the crown tucked into the movement would prevent the watch from connecting the four ” satellite” arm. Therefore, the crown for time adjustment and winding has been moved to the back of the case, and the watch has two semi-circular crowns that can be lifted, making the winding and time adjustment of the Astronomia Tourbillon watch clear and simple.
The unpretentious custom-made art watch The basic Astronomia watch is equipped with a bottom dial made of aventurine stone, with four “satellites” rotating above it. Looking like a night sky full of stars, this texture is definitely the best complement to your “solar system on your wrist”. The customizability of the bottom dial has spawned many artistic styles and top luxury playful works for this series.
In the 18K gold and sapphire crystal case of the Celestial Tourbillon, a 3D hand-embossed tiger in white gold comes to life. Hand engraving on 18K gold is a great challenge, but Jacob & Co.’s master carver is beyond imagination. A tiger pattern usually takes months to craft, and even the smallest mistakes can lead to failure. A master artist’s work requires constant concentration to complete.
The dragon engraved in 18K rose gold embodies the ultimate details, which requires three months of dedication and hard work by the engraver to present such an auspicious dragon in 18K gold, and then requires exquisite polishing and polishing. Painters complete all the details on the scales: the teeth, the tongue and, of course, the finishing touches.
The three apes are hand-carved in 18K rose gold, and they cover their eyes, ears and mouth with their hands, representing not seeing, not listening, and not speaking. Inspired by a common Japanese philosophy of life, it reminds people to stay away from right and wrong. Masters of art dedicated to haute complication watchmaking have reproduced these ape statues, handcrafted from 18K rose gold, each with a different look. Despite the intricate and time-consuming carving process, the final product is lifelike and highly symbolic. Lifelike and vivid.
A great success for the realistic sculpture – the spider’s body rests on four satellites, which needs to be light enough not to interfere with the movement of the movement. The skeleton it carries is made of titanium alloy and platinum wire, while the spider itself is made of duck feathers. The realism presented by this surreal sculpture is enough to make your heart beat.
The ultimate luxury jewelry watch Jacob & Co. Jack & Bao founder, Mr. Jacob Alebo, has an extraordinary understanding of luxury. In 2001, Jacob & Co. Jack Bao began to transform and create watches, but at the same time, he continued to be active in the field of high jewelry. Precious gems and ingenious inlay art make the brand outstanding in the customization service of gemstone watches, which is also the field that Jake & Bao is good at. All gemstones are carefully selected in terms of quality, volume, color, brightness, etc. Only those gemstones that meet the brand’s strict selection standards and quality control will be used for manual setting.
So we can see that the advanced watchmaking technology of the Astronomia celestial body series is naturally matched with the gorgeous and eye-catching high-end jewelry craftsmanship.
Jackpot cut diamonds are striking enough on their own. The raw material must be at least 2 carats, and the excess part of the rough stone is removed with a superb cutting process to form a perfectly symmetrical diamond with 288 facets. This is definitely an excellent demonstration of the rich experience and unparalleled professionalism of gem-working technicians.
The gem-set craftsmanship watch of Jacob & Co. Jake Bao celestial body series high jewelry watch shows Jake Bao’s extraordinary craftsmanship, many inspirations and design elements, showing the charming style in each gem, and the charming machine. The core collocation sets off the charm and complements each other.
I am happy to announce the Zenith Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip”, which is a collaborative version inspired by the El Primero G383 in the disco era, but with a lot of redesigned luminous-the dial is disco-style at night and during the day.
Brief background Zenith is a brand that appeals to me on an intellectual level because of its historical significance for its chronographs and chronographs, but also on a personal level, simply because the watches produced by the brand are both attractive and affordable. So working with Zenith is a breeze for me-because it means I can create my fantasy El Primero.
One of my favorite Zenith vintage watches is the G383. This is a truly stylish watch, and its design is undoubtedly the style of the late 1960s and 1970s-the dial is on the top, a real disco.
But one-on-one retro remakes have never interested me (and I don’t like the small lugs of the G383). So in early 2020, I got in touch with Romain Marietta, Zenith’s product development director, and we spent a few months together to perfect the concept and create the Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip”.
At the same time, poker chips will be easier to obtain than our past version. It is as affordable as the usual price of Zenith watches-in fact, its cost is only 10% higher than the Chronomaster Revival A386 steel watch-but it will also be more widely available.
Unlike our Habring 2 and Kudoke SJX versions which are only available on SJX watches and sold out almost immediately, poker chips are the result of a collaboration between us and Zenith. It is still a limited edition, but it will also be available in Zenith boutiques, after our initial exclusive sales period-click here to express interest.
“Poker Chips” Like our past version, poker chips are considered easily recognizable as replica Zenith, but it is very different from the other designs of the brand—a great idea is extracted from history and reimagined for today.
Therefore, the classic 38mm El Primero case from 1969 is retained, but it uses micro-blasted titanium for the first time (other models with the same case are made of steel).
Similarly, the dial design can be traced back to the earliest stages of El Primero. G383 was launched in 1969 with a crazy fan-shaped layout in black, white and gold, reminiscent of poker chips.
The unique style among the vintage El Primero models is also very rare-only about 200 units have been produced-the G383 is relatively unknown today, perhaps because the luxurious appearance is not suitable for everyone, especially its unusual lugs.
Reinterpretation Modern Poker Chip transforms the aesthetics of the original work into something eye-catching with a modern style, but once you recognize the historical inspiration, the taste of the disco era becomes obvious.
The dial is dark gray, divided into matte black parts, with a Super-Luminova luminous pattern on the top, which reproduces the layout of the retro original-but with luminous.
Thanks to the generous Super-Luminova luminous on the dial, the “Poker Chips” pattern is obvious both day and night-although I do think it is more noticeable in the dark.
In order to play the best effect at night, this watch is also equipped with an extra strap soaked with Super-Luminova luminous material to make the whole strap glow. Credit for the luminous strap goes to Romain and his team.
Because the dial is too cool, the case is limited, while retaining the retro classic style. Like the Chronomaster Revival model and the vintage El Primero A386, this case has a 38mm compact design, but minimalism.
It is a micro-sandblasted titanium metal that gives the case a fine dark gray finish, and then the coating enhances its wear resistance and helps prevent fingerprints from showing.
Inside the case is the El Primero 400, which is basically the same movement as the G383 and all other El Primero models from 1969.
Zenith had already launched a new version of the El Primero movement when it started this project last year, so you can choose the movement. We decided to use the original El Primero for two reasons.
The fact is that as the latest version of the movement becomes more popular throughout the Zenith series, I expect the original El Primero will gradually become less common. The second is to reimagine the aesthetics of vintage watches but retain the mild irony of the same movement.


Jennifer Lewis from the University of Illinois and her team have developed a novel way to ‘print’ complex three-dimensional shapes. They used flat sheets of titanium hydride ink, and folded them.
Solid objects can be ‘printed’ by laying out each layer of ink in precise sequence. The inks contain metal, plastic or ceramic particles. When the desired shape is reached, the liquid ink is evaporated, leaving the particles annealed into a solid structure. Unfortunately, if too many layers are added, the entire structure can start to sag or even collapse. Lewis and her colleagues decided to start with a flat sheet of ink and fold it into the desired shape.
These structures were folded from flat sheets of direct-printed titanium hydride ink, a new technique pioneered by University of Illinois researchers.
Credit: Bok Yoep Ahn (a postdoctoral researcher in the Lewis lab).
This required some fiddling to get the right ink consistency. Some ink solvents dry too quickly, making the sheets too brittle for consecutive folds. Other solvents don’t dry quickly enough, allowing the structures to fall apart. A happy medium left the sheets pliable enough to fold, but stiff enough to hold their shape throughout the folding and annealing process.
The ability to make tiny precise objects would have many uses, particularly in medicine and electronics.To see a slideshow of some of the printed origami creations, look here.

Master of contactless temperature measurements
Thinking about the University Contact Fair (Hochschulkontaktmesse, HOKO) makes Osama Deeb feel like he’s been transported back by two years. He was roaming the fair looking for a working student position to complement his master’s degree. Now two years later, the Advanced Materials Group’s testing apparatus has a new temperature sensor and Osama Deeb a master’s degree in his pocket.
Among the many booths in the building at Munich University of Applied Sciences, the FRM II booth must have particularly caught the eye of Osama Deeb, an engineering student from Jordan. After a detailed conversation with engineer Milan Antic, he was contacted two weeks later by Dr. Ralph Gilles, head of the Advanced Materials Group at MLZ: the CV he had submitted was convincing and he could start in January by initially optimizing a testing apparatus with which metal alloys are tested under extreme conditions.
“Working with Osama Deeb was a real success story”
“Before HOKO, I had no idea what the Research Neutron Source was,” says Osama Deeb today with a satisfied smile. Rightly so, because the encounter at HOKO not only got him the working student position, but also his master’s thesis. “Working with Osama Deeb was a real success story,” says Ralph Gilles. “After his initial experience with the testing apparatus, he approached us with his own project idea, which he fully implemented from the idea to the final product,” he continues proudly. The project is a contactless temperature measurement system for the Group’s testing apparatus. In it, metal alloys are tested for their stability and must therefore be exposed to extreme conditions. The sample reaches temperatures of up to 1200°C. It goes without saying that a normal thermometer cannot simply be held on to it. Instead, Osama Deeb had the idea of determining the temperature from the color of the sample’s glow.

Interdisciplinarity enriches research
“I was looking for a project for my master’s thesis, and Ralph and his colleague Frank Kümmel were very encouraging. In general, the atmosphere in the group was very inspiring and I always received valuable help,” says Osama Deeb. Frank Kümmel also praises his student: “His great strength was the interdisciplinary approach he took.” That’s because Osama Deeb’s background is in micro- and nanotechnology, which he started at Munich University of Applied Sciences in 2019 as a master’s student. He had done his bachelor’s degree at the German-Jordanian University in Amman in mechatronics and mechanical engineering. Part of the degree is a year abroad in Germany of which one semester is for lectures and a second for an internship. “I wanted to come to Germany for a long time, because for me it is the country of engineers and I really wanted to learn how engineering companies work here,” he says. With this intercultural understanding of his subject, he applied for the master’s degree in Munich and ultimately enriched his working group at FRM II.
Double culture shock: Germany and working in science
“This was my first time in Germany, and I have to admit that despite preparation, I experienced culture shock,” he says with a laugh. “For example, social life here is a lot more closed off than in Jordan. And on the other hand, I was very impressed by the huge folk festivals. I’ve never experienced anything like that before,” he continues.

He experienced a kind of second culture shock at FRM II. So far, he had gained experience in industry through internships at Leifheit and Webasto. As a scientific institution, FRM II stands in a special position. Did he notice any differences in the way of working compared to industry? “Definitely! In industry, everything is much more rushed with deadlines and you work in a very restricted way. At FRM II, I didn’t feel that way, especially when it comes to trying out new things. I really liked that.”
With his master’s degree in his pocket, Osama Deeb is very confident about the future. He wants to stay in Germany; for him, this is the way to fulfill his destiny as an engineer. “The technical student position at the Research Neutron Source got me many job interviews in the first place,” he explains. “I was working with cutting-edge technology, and that’s in high demand.”
HOKO will be held again between Nov. 2 and 4 – for the second time in digital format. FRM II will also be represented there again with nearly 30 working student positions, internships, and student research projects. Perhaps Osama Deeb will also click through the fair again and meet his next employer.

Our client is one of the world’s largest producer of polymers and plastics. The goal of the assignment was to benchmark the production process that was optimized over a span of 25 years and provide improvements for a new production plant. The benchmarking study included primary monomer production process that was generating more than $500 million in annual revenue. Detailed laboratory and plant data were reviewed along with the chemical kinetic model. Also, process details of the existing plant were provided.
Our team first began by reviewing kinetic and thermodynamic data. Thermodynamic property model parameters were improved based on available vapor – liquid – liquid equilibrium data. The existing kinetic model had a large number of independent parameters and did not include several key parameters. A new kinetic model was developed that included fewer number of variables and at the same time take into account important variables that were missed. Reactor design was performed along with the design of distillation-based separation system. The benchmarking and retrofit study included generating process options, design followed by cost estimation. Process alternatives were then evaluated for capital and operating costs and compared to the base case.
Multiple process alternatives were identified with close to 30% reduction in capital and operating cost. One interesting outcome was that the base case could be operated with existing equipment but with new operating parameters to produce 30% more product and no additional energy cost for the increased production. Several patents were filed and granted to the Client based on this work.

In the beginning there was light and all was good.......
Well up until the point when I removed the cam belt to change it for a nice shiny new one. The crankshaft went clunk, dunk, thug, thought that was a little strange, pretty sure it shouldn't be making that noise )-: My heart sank as I suddenly saw money oozing from the galleries and seals of the engine.
When I had stopped crying I decided that action would really need to be taken and find out what needs to be done. I checked the endfloat and it was about 4mm, when it should be 0.08-0.2mm..... so err slightly off. I Knew that the thrust washers had come off, but thought that even with them out this was a little excessive. Initial plan would be to see what was lurking under the dry sump and make a decision from there. So I started stripping off all the ancillaries that I had so lovingly put on just days before. Well at least it was all nice and clean and the bolts weren't rusty and seized, so didn't take too long to remove the plenum and carbs. Even with only those off I felt like I was making immediate progress. Noticed that even though the carbs were cleaned and polished the aluminum had already started to have white corrosion marks on, not good, I'll have to address that when I reinstall.
As it was getting cold and late I thought I'd call it a day and attack the engine in the morning.
Over night I had been thinking more about it, and realising there and then that this wasn't going to be a quick job, decided to take the engine indoors to my workshop where I can work on it in relative warmth and most importantly the dry, over the winter. This was no mean feat as I had to juggle about a lot of stuff in order to make enough working room around the engine. Why is it that there's never enough storage space?
Engine now in the dry I could attack it with zeal, external oil pump was first to go, with about 8 x M6 nuts holding it on, no problem at all, I suppose that all that oil had kept all the nuts nicely protected and lubricated. Very elaborate seal underneath though, it'll have to be an original seal to replace it as I don't fancy cutting that out of the gasket paper. On later internal inspection I found that the annulus and rotor were all good, this was a major plus as these parts are really really rare to get hold of.
Whipped the engine over and WD-40'd all fixings that I could see, then went for a cuppa tea. Refreshed and bolts readily soaked, started removing the lower ones on the sump, working my way from the centre outwards, some where extremely tough to get going....a bigger lever was needed. Then removed the smaller nuts around the edge of the casting, these were a b*gger because the casting itself wraps around the nut so tightly that you can only just get a socket on only half the top of the nut. There wasn't a hope in hell of getting any spanner on it either. Felt like this could have been the turning point for me, if I'd struggled too much and either stripped the threads or the outer edges, I'd probably had thrown my tools down in a strop and paid someone to finish the job for me. End seals were then removed, well partly, the cam belt end wasn't going to come off without a special tool that I'd have to make up, so I let it dangle there in the mean time and proceeded onwards.
Narrowly escaping the major strop and excessive output of cashflow paying someone to do this engine rebuild for me, I got all the nuts off. Now for teasing the aluminum casting off the long studs, which all in all took about 1 hour. Rubber mallet and casting now severely beaten into submission and with the lower half of the crank casing on the work bench, I inspected the innards like a surgeon and he's poorly patient. As suspected the thrust washers had indeed come out, but were whole, thought they may have been mushed into a billion pieces, good sign. But then there was this additional ring that had been broken, pretty sure that that wasn't supposed to be there. Later investigation on the LF and eyeing it up against the crank in the daylight showed that is was part of the casting of the crankshaft, which had cracked in a perfect circle around the main bearing. Cause was that the number 5 main bearing wasn't getting enough oil from the reworked chamfer on the crank case casting. The PO didn't line up the Vee with the Chamfer so it was starved of all oil, not good for something that was rotating that quickly against another metal object. Took the parts and engine up to Lotusbits for an expert assessment and advice.
Although I knew the crank was toast, I thought that the rest would be ok to put back, considering the pistons were new and beautifully forged. However there was a large amount of float on the pins in the piston, so a new set of Mahle forged pistons were purchased along with seal set and rings. looks like this is turning into a full rebuild /-: Have to keep reminding myself that this is a preservation project to keep our heritage on the road. It turns out that the dry sump that I have is the 1 in 100 that was bored out to 0.015", which generally means that because the main bearings are as rare as hens teeth that the sump is now a lovely oily door stop. Only two options available to me:
1. Buy a wet sump engine.
2. Skim the top off the original lower crank casing and line bore back to standard with a 2nd hand upper casting already at standard size.
I wasn't liking any of these options, first one would not only take a vast amount of money out of my pocket it would also depreciate the dry sump engine car.
So like most OCD Lotus Esprit drivers I started trawling the internet adamant that I could get the holy grail of bearings to fit my car. By hook or by crook I will find some til my dying day!!!!!!!!!
Update to this....
Amazing I found some bearings +0.015" ....yay!!!!
I got a mate to send them to me ....yay!!!!
Haven't received them yet and this is 3 days after being posted 1st class .....boo!!!!!
I'm now quietly crying in the corner of my house while I write this ?
Fingers are still crossed that they turn up, could be the Black Friday post is a little slow this week....
Update to the Update
Bearings have now turned up, they were sat safe and sound in the post office waiting for collection, only problem was that they didn't tell me they were there!! Good old PO, anyway I nearly keeled over when I opened the box and saw the gleaming bearings glinting in the sunshine. My daughter thought I'd gone a little loopy when I started doing a little jig on the pavement. However she benefited from my unusually generous behaviour by receiving a big chocolate bar from the newsagents. My happiness was alas short lived though, when one of the really really rare bearings, as opposed to the really rare bearings, was scuffed.....oh man, from ecstasy to misery in a few short minutes. I'm not sure I can take this sort of feeling, my constitution isn't used to these roller coaster emotions. Phoning back Phil, who I'd originally bought the bearings from bared no fruit, apart from a sharp discussion about not wanting to return the money to me for supplying a faulty bearing. Eventually all was sorted and my task for looking for another one started out in earnest. Thanks to this forum and in particular JerryS for pointing me in the right direction it turns out these bearings weren't as rare as I was led to believe, apparently they were still available at source, so I got them to send another one through. It just goes to show that when someone gives you advice on something, it's sometimes worth doing the donkey work to find out for yourself!
Next installment will be the building of the engine which I will start a new blog for.......
One last note, a friend of mine keeps reminding me that so many people generally give up on their restoration, for the very same reason, too much stress and emotional turmoil that it's difficult to take on a constant basis. I think everything had gone so well for me up to this point I'd fooled myself into thinking it would continue on this vein, and when it went a little south, I began to wobble slightly. I feel I'm now over a hurdle and stronger for it.....bring it on!

Single or twin engine, the 296 keeps its promises.
For a boat of its length and beam, the single-engine 296 jumps on plane with noteworthy suddenness. With two engines, the word is 'launch." That said, the ride here is hushed, soothing, and soft, much like the 296's interior, with a layout here that is both custom –from throw pillows to club configuration – and unlike any other bowrider's. A space more limousine than marine. The comfort accumulates astern in all-weather, personalized luxury straight out of your living room. Wraparound conversation is waiting in the bow.
The options list is meaningful – refrigerators and joysticks for docking and touch-screen GPS and arches with lighting. The power options are stout and authoritative. The hull yearns for open water, ready to show off handling at once robust and responsive.
The 296 then, a loving marriage of refinement and raw power. A diamond on an aquamarine sea.

Industry experts say the demand for larger-scale wind farms leveled off in the last year while the demand for the smaller turbines that can power homes, schools or farms enjoyed growth. A new brief released by the American Wind Energy Association at its meeting in Des Moines says the generating capacity of the small wind systems across the nation grew 26% last year.
AssOciation spokesman Larry Flowers says,”Now that’s an interesting number because the large-wind industry had about a 45% drop in their megawatts installed, so while the large industry had a tough year, the small industry actually grew.” Sales revenues from small-scale wind development grew 53%.
Flowers says there’s also a growing demand for exports of parts for small wind systems to Asia and other parts of the world. Brett Pingree is the vice president of sales for Northern Power Systems, a wind turbine manufacturer based in Vermont. He says the company had its best year ever in 2010.
“So when we have an increase of awareness of the importance of clean energy, which has been at an all-time high in our public due to oil spills and climate change, this really has created a lot of momentum in the marketplace,” Pingree says. Pingree says sales were also boosted by federal and state policies encouraging renewable energy, including incentives in President Obama’s stimulus package.
Pingree says 2011 has been a much more difficult year so far. A full report from the industry is expected next month.

Servo Magazine ( January 2017 )
NOMAD: The Evolution of an Autonomous Robot
This is an update to my March 2015 review of the Nomad chassis kit from ServoCity. The project is on-going, and I've learned a lot along the way. As usual, I got myself in way over my head. Fortunately, through persistence and a little help from time to time, I've made some real progress. I really have enjoyed working with this kit and modifying it with other parts from the Actobotics® line. At the end of my initial review, I declared it a very robust chassis that would be great for use in Magellan competitions.
When last we saw Nomad, it looked like this.
The original plan was to use an old Android phone as the main processor, interfaced with an Arduino to collect sensor data and communicate with the motor controller. In the end, I decided not to use the phone. I had started to read about the Robot Operating System (ROS): a middleware package for controlling robots. What enticed me about ROS was the fact that it is open source, used by researchers and companies around the world, and a lot — if not all — of the functionality I wanted to use was already written.
In fact, it was already written by people a lot smarter and with a lot more experience than I have. Whereas there are builds of ROS for Android, at the time they were rather unstable and seeing as the learning curve was already pretty steep, I decided to find a more suitable platform for what I was now calling the Nomad Project.
Fast forward a few months when a friend from The Robot Group in Austin, TX was divesting himself of parts he’d been collecting. Among them was an Intel Edison with the Arduino compatible breakout board. I had heard some great things about the Edison board; it was pretty fast, ran on Linux, and it had that Arduino compatible breakout board. It was a perfect candidate for this project. Or, so I thought.
My goal was to get ROS installed on the Edison board and load a simple program that would allow me to control Nomad with a wireless game controller. I had developed the program for another platform I put together as a test/learning system called BARB (Big Autonomous Robotic Base). BARB was a 24” diameter circular robot built on a Power Wheels® drive train. It uses a laptop as its controller which allowed me to develop the test program that I wanted to port to Nomad.
To accommodate the addition of the Edison, I had to reconfigure Nomad. The battery came out of the box to make room for the electronics. With the battery out, I could lay the Roboclaw motor controller flat as opposed to mounted on the side. I created a system of plates for mounting the electronics using acrylic cut on the laser cutter at ATX Hackerspace and offsets. This allows me to remove the electronics as one unit. I often refer to this as the “stack.” I replaced the 12V SLA brick with an 11.4V 3s LiPo battery pack that I could mount in the aluminum channel from the kit.
Nomad with the Intel Edison board and sensor shield.
The Edison runs on a version of Linux called Yocto, which I had never heard of before. ROS, however, is built to operate with Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives. There was not an install path for Yocto Linux. However, there was some success using UbiLinux which is, supposedly, a light version of Ubuntu. So, I installed UbiLinux on the Edison and then ROS applying the same build instructions used for the Raspberry Pi. The installation was successful and I had ROS running.
However, when I went to install the test program, I could not get the gamepad to work. It turns out the joystick drivers are not in UbiLinux. On top of that, the package needed to install the drivers was not part of UbiLinux. With no community support for that application and after spending two weeks looking for answers that simply didn’t exist, I abandoned the Edison board.
What did have a strong and growing community was the Raspberry Pi. I happened to have a couple of model B+s on hand. I knew I could get the test code to run on the Pi since I had just done it on a project for some film makers in San Antonio.
To simplify the I/O with the sensors, etc., I decided to also include an Arduino Mega. There were several reasons for this, not the least of which was the separation of signal processing from the main program. I would be able to manage the sensors on the Arduino and just send the consolidated information as a serial stream to the Pis. With this, the stack took on a new form with the Roboclaw on the bottom, followed by two Pis, and the Arduino with a sensor shield on top. It was also at this point I decided to add an Xbox Kinect for vision.
Roboclaw at the bottom of the "stack.”
At some point, I was further inspired by Actobotics’ Mantis platform. In particular, I was enamored by the independent suspension which, of course, Nomad had to have. So, I spoke to the good folks at ServoCity and soon received the parts for the conversion.
The idea behind the two Raspberry Pis was to — again — split the processing. Vision processing is intensive, as is navigation. With two boards, I could dedicate one to processing the input from the Kinect and the other to navigation, or as I learned during this process, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping).
ROS installed nicely and I was able to get the test program running without a hitch. At that point, I started adding the sensors. Using a package for ROS called ROSSerial, I was able to read the PING))) sensors through the Arduino. These were configured to act as a bumper to avoid any obstacles the Kinect may have missed. The Kinect itself, however, proved a bigger challenge. I could simply not get the drivers to work. Others had great success with this, but at the time I was not one of them.
By now, I was a year into the project. I was trying to get the Kinect working right up to the next big show for The Robot Group: South by Southwest (SXSW). For those of you who aren’t familiar with SXSW, it is a large festival in Austin, broken into three parts: interactive, film, and music. Interactive is all about new technologies. As part of Interactive, there is a show called Create which is free and open to the public. The Robot Group had a sizable display there that year, and I really wanted to be able to show off Nomad with working sensors and collecting vision information from the Kinect. Alas, it was not to be.
However, directly across from our booth was one for Nvidia: the makers of video cards. Nvidia has an embedded system called the Jetson and they had just come out with their newest version: the TX1. The Jetson TX1 runs their latest Tegra processor which consists of a 64-bit quad core ARM processor and 256 Cuda GPU cores. This setup allows for massive parallel processing. In short, this little board is a video processing powerhouse.
In their booth, they were demonstrating how their Jetson TX1 could be incorporated into a robot with a stereo camera system to perform SLAM activities. To take it a step further — thanks to the Cuda cores — they were able to build a neural network on the robot so it would learn as it went. My amateur hobby robotics mind was blown. This was one of those, “stop talking and take my money” moments. The engineer that was there gave me his contact information should I have any questions and directed me to their embedded developer page.
Two weeks later, my Jetson TX1 Evaluation Kit arrived in the mail.
Nvidia Jetson TX1 unboxing.
A week after that, the Zed stereo camera system from StereoLabs was on my porch. The evaluation kit is significantly larger than the Raspberry Pi, which meant yet another reconfiguring of the chassis. This time, I had to build a larger box in which to house the Jetson and associated electronics. While I was at it, I added dedicated space for the power switch, an external Ethernet port, power jack, HDMI port, and two cooling fans. For the Zed camera, I also ordered a nice pan/tilt assembly from ServoCity.
New larger box.
At this point, I have to say how thankful I am to have found the local hacker space here in Austin. This place has been an amazing resource for building Nomad and so many other projects. Between the laser cutters, 3D printers, and all of the other tools available here, there is very little that can’t be done. We’re even adding a CNC plasma cutter. So, once the design is finalized, I might even cut a new chassis altogether out of aluminum. And it’s not just the tools. The people and talent is fantastic.
Cutting the new box on the laser.
Nomad’s new box, fresh off the laser cutter.
Without some of the expertise from the ATX Hackerspace, I don’t know that Nomad would have made it anywhere near as far as it has. If you haven’t already availed yourself of your local maker or hacker space, do so. You will be astounded at what you can get done.
Prepping the Jetson
With the majority of the physical build done (because, let’s face it, you’re never really 100% done with any part of a project like this), it was time to get the OS and software started. Nvidia provides a pre-assembled package of OS, drivers, and software called Jetpack. This package is optimized by the engineers and developers for this board. The installation for someone new to this process is not necessarily a straightforward one. There were some obstacles I had to work around that weren’t obvious. Hopefully, my experiences will help you avoid some of the same hurdles. These issues started right at the beginning ...
Initial Hardware Problems
Right at the beginning, I was having challenges in just seeing what was happening. When I received my TX1, it wasn’t blank. There was an initial OS installed. I didn’t play around with it enough to see if a version of Jetpack was already Flashed. I wanted to get it updated quickly to make sure it had all of the proper drivers. So, I tried to connect the board to a spare monitor I had lying about. The monitor did not have an HDMI input which is needed for connecting to the Jetson. Using an HDMI to DVI adapter, I connected the monitor to the TX1 with no results.
It turns out the HDMI out from the Jetson is not compatible with converters — at least not natively. So, next I tried connecting it to a television with an HDMI input. This time, I was able to get video, but it was cropped around all the edges significantly. I was unable to see the first five or six characters of the text that was streaming during bootup.
The issues with the converter and the television led to my first unexpected expense: a new monitor with HDMI input. Fortunately, Fry’s had one on sale. It was a little larger than I was hoping for, but it was less than $100, so I went ahead and bought it. While I was there, I went ahead and picked up a USB3 hub knowing I would need it for use with the Zed camera later. With the new monitor, I was able to see the output properly.
While on the topic of hardware issues, there is also the matter of the keyboard/mouse. This is probably not related to the actual install since it was not an issue with the re-Flash (more on that later). The Logitech wireless keyboard/touchpad did not initially work with the board. I had to use a wired mouse and keyboard through the aforementioned USB hub. So, something to keep in mind.
Jetpack is not installed directly onto the Jetson board. It is actually installed through another host machine onto the TX1. To install Jetpack, you will need to do so from a full independent installation of Ubuntu 14.04. And by independent I mean you can’t install it from a VM (virtual machine). It has to be an actual machine. I spent several hours trying to get it to run within a VM, including installing Virtualbox on my Windows 10 machine but, in the end, it was nothing but frustration.
Installing the Jetson Jetpack.
So, next I turned to my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04. There I had many of the same frustrations. I just could not get the installer to run. I put a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 onto the machine and had the same issue. It turns out the problem was me and my very poor understanding of Linux. In order to run the Jetpack installer, you have to precede the filename with a dot-slash ( ./ ) in the execute line.
I am not going to go over the whole installation process here since it is well covered on several websites. The instructions I used are available at the URL listed below. However, there are some things you will need to know going into it:
- You will need a developer account to download the package. These are free. Nvidia just wants to know who is accessing their files.
- The Jetpack is not installed directly on the Jetson board. You will instead be installing the Jetpack on a host Ubuntu Linux 14.04 host system. In my case, I was using a laptop which I have set aside specifically for my robotics experiments and development.
- As stated above, you cannot install Jetpack from a VM. For you Windows users, it’s a bit of a pain, but if you’re going to be playing around in this more advanced robotics space, you’re going to have to learn Linux anyway. Bite the bullet, get a cheap refurbished laptop, and install Ubuntu on it.
- Be sure you are connecting both the host system and the Jetson board via Ethernet cable to the same router/network. Jetson installation will fail if you try to use Wi-Fi.
- Make sure the version of Jetpack is compatible with your chosen hardware. You’re going to find — at least at the time of this writing — the newest bleeding-edge version may not have the driver and software support you need. I ended up having to roll back from JetPack 2.2 for L4T to JetPack 2.1 for L4T because 64-bit support just wasn’t where it needed to be. The latest version may have fixed this, but at the time it was an issue.
During the setup, I ran into an issue where the host system could not find the Jetson on the network. Jetpack installation is a multi-stage process. Once it has Ubuntu installed, it will restart the board and attempt to connect to it via Ethernet. For some reason, on my first pass, the host failed to capture the IP for the Jetson. If this happens to you, reset the Jetson and boot it into the GUI. The user is “ubuntu” and the password is “ubuntu” by default. Once in, connect to your router as normal, then use:
~$: sudo ifconfig
to find your IP address. Back on the host machine, run the installation again. It will skip everything that was done and take you to the point it tried to connect to the Jetson.
When the system fails to find the IP address, select to manually set it. This will bring up a new dialog box where you enter the target’s IP, user, and password. It may take a couple minutes to connect, so let it do what it’s going to do. Once it finds it, the installation will continue.
Now, with all my warnings and life lessons out of the way, follow directions at http://docs.nvidia.com/jetpack-l4t/index.html#developertools/mobile/jetpack/l4t/2.2.1/jetpack_l4t_install.htm.
The next step in the process for Nomad is the installation of ROS. This installation is probably the most straightforward of any of them simply because you’re installing onto a full version of Ubuntu. Because the version of Ubuntu in this selected version of Jetpack is 14.04, I needed to install ROS Indigo. Like any other ROS install, make sure you match the version of ROS to your version of Linux. Each version is optimized to the most recent stable version of Ubuntu at the time it was released. Mismatching the versions will cause countless issues that can otherwise be avoided.
The Jetson platforms use ARM processors; therefore, you’ll need to install the appropriate version of ROS for ARM. The official instructions for doing so can be found on the official ROS.org wiki at http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/UbuntuARM. Again, I’m not going to list out all of the instructions here.
Finally, I was in a position to load the test program I wrote so long ago for BARB and the earlier iteration of Nomad. The nice thing about getting familiar with and using ROS is how little code it actually takes to make something happen. All of this source code is available on GitHub at:
These are the pieces of custom code and the modified sample file from ION Motion Control that I'm using as a driver.
There are four modules needed to get Nomad driving, three of which are in the Git repository: roboclaw.py, nomad_control.py, and nomad_drive.py. The first is the custom driver script for the Roboclaw from the sample Python program provided by ION Motion Control: the makers of the Roboclaw motor controller. The second file (nomad_control.py) subscribes to the JoyCommand message of the Joy node and publishes the axes signals as a Twist message — which is the standard movement message used in ROS.
Lastly, nomad_drive.py is the node that interacts with the motor controller. It leverages the Roboclaw driver to send movement commands as well as read pertinent information provided by the driver, such as battery voltages, operating temperature, and any errors generated by the motor controller.
The fourth module is the standard joystick package. To get the joystick package installed for ROS, I followed the instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/joy/Tutorials/ConfiguringALinuxJoystick.
To get Nomad moving, I have to start up each of these nodes. Generally, you would put each node call into an ROS launch file and simply use roslaunch to start all of them at the same time. However, at the time of this writing, I have been experiencing some issues with nomad_drive.py starting up properly. While I diagnose the issue, I am starting each of the nodes separately. Each node has to be started in its own terminal window on the Jetson board, starting with the core processes:
~$: rosrun joy joy_node
~$: rosrun nomad nomad_control.py
~$: rosrun nomad nomad_drive.py
The night I got Nomad configured, loaded, and running was our Robot Group meeting at ATX Hackerspace. I cannot express how good it felt to have Nomad driving around the classroom and shop there. Two years of build, rebuild, and rebuild again, and Nomad was alive and moving.
Nomad systems block diagram.
Of course, like any project, once you have it working is when you start to find other issues. Right from the beginning, there were three issues that had to be addressed. The first was a physical issue; the wheels I was using were those from the original Nomad kit. These weren’t intended to support the 16 lb Nomad now weighed. The other two were electrical: There was too much pressure on the USB connector to the Roboclaw, and I had an intermittent power problem going to the Jetson board. Both of these issues resulted in the motor controller losing signal with the main board.
Without changing the profile of Nomad, I essentially have two solutions to the wheel problem. The first is to replace them with air filled rather than the standard foam filled tires. The other is to simply remove the foam insert and fill tires with expanding construction foam. Obviously, I went with the more eloquent and complicated air filled solution. I ordered bead lock hubs and air fill valves used in volleyballs.
The USB connection was an easy fix. I simply replaced the cable I was using with one that has a smaller plug end. The plug is no longer pressing against the side wall of the box and the pressure is released. The electrical problem is still plaguing me, however.
My initial thought was the barrel plug assembly was interfering with other components and was being knocked loose. The solution for this was simply moving things around a little bit. The offending component was the main power switch attached to one of the rear panels. Fortunately, I designed the panels to be flipped. So, the power switch is now on the other side of the box and there is no more interference with the barrel jack.
In the end, I have a pretty substantial hardware stack. At the root of everything is the Jetson TX1 board. Directly attached to that is the HDMI port, USB2 OTG cable, USB3 hub, and Ethernet, wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity. I may also add an SATA SSD for extra storage, though I could do the same thing with an SD card. The USB3 hub is connected to the Roboclaw, Zed camera system, and the Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. The USB2 OTG cable terminates in the dongle for the Logitech wireless gamepad. I discovered in a past project you cannot power your Arduino through an external source while connected to USB. So, the Arduino is connected to the Jetson board via the I/O pins on the Jetson.
Power is supplied to Nomad using four 11.4V LiPo battery packs. These are broken into two banks: one for the motors and the other for all of the electronics. A 5V DC regulator is supplying extra power to the USB3 hub, and a second one supplies 6V to the Arduino’s sensor shield. Both circuits can be powered by an external power supply when Nomad is on the bench.
One of the issues that needs to be addressed is the power control. Allowing Nomad to go careening off out of control when there’s an interruption in communication between the main board and the motor controller is unacceptable.
In order to address this, I am building a power control and watchdog system using an Arduino Uno and a couple relay boards. The main switch will become a power selector, allowing me to choose to power Nomad by the onboard battery packs or through an external power supply. A second smaller switch will control the power to the Arduino Uno board. The Uno — when powered up — will systematically turn on each of the systems in Nomad — the last of which will be the Roboclaw.
Once power is applied to the main board, the Arduino Mega will be powered up and it will begin sending a signal to the Uno via connected pins. The pins will need to share a ground and will have a protective resistor on the jumper between them for protection. Once the Uno begins receiving this signal, it will turn on the motor controller. As long as the Uno receives the signal, the motor controller will remain powered. If serial connection is lost between the Mega and the main board, the signal will be stopped and the motor controller shut down.
While the power control system is being built, other development will also continue. Next, I will be attaching the sensors to make sure I can capture signals from them. Then, I am anxious to get the Zed stereo camera powered and working. I am excited to pull image and point cloud data, and start working with navigation.
To assist in all of this, I am building a base station for Nomad. The base station consists of a laptop outfitted with a wireless hub. The wireless hub runs on five volts and less than one amp, so it can be powered by the laptop’s USB port. The plan is to bind Nomad to the wireless router and then share the Internet connection from the laptop to the hub. In that way, Nomad and the base station will always be connected to the same network and when I’m working off-site, I only have to connect the laptop to local Wi-Fi. It will also allow me to use remote desktop access on Nomad to work without having to set up a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
The base station includes a box to elevate Nomad off the table while on the bench. This will allow me to test the entire system without worrying about the robot driving off the table. A 12V power supply is built into the bench box that can be used to power Nomad on the bench without using the batteries. All of this is contained in custom boxes for transport, protection, and to provide a platform on which to work. There is a separate toolbox. The boxes are stackable on a custom cart to allow for easy transportation.
I’m planning on entering Nomad into the RoboMagellen competition at the next RoboGames. It’s a tight deadline at this point, but an achievable goal. So, with a little luck and a lot of work, the next update will include a performance report from RoboGames! SV
Nomad stands ready to take on the world.

Ford has another idea to prevent speeding on the road with “Intelligent Speed Limiter.” The system uses speed limits from traffic signs and data from navigation systems to warn drivers of speed limits in the instrument cluster.
The system also is energy-efficient because instead of hitting the brakes it sets speed by controlling the fuel.
Ford notes that Intelligent Speed Limiter can automatically help prevent drivers from exceeding speed limits driving in their own country, and while driving abroad.
Intelligent Speed Limiter combines the manually Adjustable Speed Limiter to a set a maximum speed with Traffic Sign Recognition that gives drivers with the latest detected speed limit, cancellation signs and other cautions on the instrument cluster display.
If the car has onboard navigation, Intelligent Speed Limiter also uses map data for improved accuracy.
Intelligent Speed Limiter allows drivers to set a speed tolerance of up to 5 mph above the detected speed limit.
If the S‑MAX overruns the set maximum speed because of a downhill gradient, an alarm is sounded. Drivers can temporarily override the system by pressing firmly on the accelerator.
Ford Adaptive Steering makes it easier to get around at low speeds and in tight spaces, and provides a more precise and intuitive feel at high speeds. The system adapts the steering wheel for situations.
Steering wheel settings can set to S-MAX’s “comfort,” “normal” and “sport”.
Information from the windshield-mounted camera, and bumper, is processed and checked against a database of “pedestrian shapes” to help distinguish people from typical roadside scenery and objects.Pre-Collision Assist also checks for vehicles if a collision is detected it can automatically apply the brakes to help the driver mitigate or avoid many types of rear-end collision.limitations for Pre-Collision Assist include nighttime, harsh lighting, cyclists, vehicles moving in a different direction and harsh weather conditions.
The Ford S-Max will be released in Europe in the summer, if the new features are popular they may be released in the United States.

Most Chimpanzee Research No Longer Necessary
A panel of experts commissioned by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that most of the research involving chimpanzees is not necessary. According to the most recent count, there are 937 chimpanzees being used for research in the United States, including 612 for projects funded by the U.S. government. They are most commonly used for hepatitis-related research.
