NASCAR's relentless pursuit of innovation continues as plans begin for the Gen-8 car, promising to integrate cutting-edge technology while maintaining the focus on sustainable and cost-effective racing. With the introduction of the Gen-7 Cup Series car back in 2022, NASCAR sought to improve the quality of racing and the entertainment value of the sport, goals they have largely achieved. The Gen-7 vehicles have delivered closer races and have been well-received by fans for the most part, setting a solid foundation for the transition to Gen-8. NASCAR's COO Steve O'Donnell has confirmed the initial stages of planning for these Gen-8 cars, noting a few key focus areas, notably the incorporation of environmentally friendly fuels. This move aligns with global trends in the auto industry toward more sustainable practices. Moreover, maintaining the competitive nature and ensuring cost-effectiveness remains paramount. In his comments reported by Adam Stern, O'Donnell stated: "We're working on everything," reflecting the expansive scope of considerations in play as NASCAR looks to the future. . @NASCAR COO Steve O'Donnell on whether the sanctioning body is already starting to draw up a next-generation Gen-8 car: "We're working on everything." pic.twitter.com/YjrwwtpguQ The development of the Gen-8 car follows the successful deployment of Gen-7 cars, which underwent extensive testing across various tracks before their debut. These vehicles introduced new safety improvements, such as composite bodies and improved crash structures, designed to protect drivers effectively. As the planning for Gen-8 advances, these safety benchmarks will likely guide future design principles. The ongoing exploration of future technologies by NASCAR's R&D department is noteworthy, particularly the potential for electric car racing . The department is investigating the establishment of a dedicated electric car series, which would represent a substantial evolution in the sport. Additionally, the consideration of hydrogen as a potential fuel source hints at even more ambitious environmental goals. NASCAR's experimentation with electric and hybrid technologies is evident in components of the current Gen-7 cars, which already support hybrid engines. Parallel to these technological advancements, NASCAR is growing its marketing strategies to deepen fan engagement. A newly announced driver-centric marketing program, set for the 2025 season, aims to highlight the personalities of drivers in both the Cup and Xfinity series. This initiative is supported by a substantial financial pool of $10 million to $20 million, providing rewards based on drivers' participation in promotional activities. O'Donnell said: "You're going to see a lot more focus on our individual drivers, and that doesn't mean just Cup." . @NASCAR plans to have a decidedly driver-centric marketing focus in 2025, as the series starts an incentive program that will pay drivers anywhere from tens of thousands of dollars up to around $1 million for their efforts to promote the sport each season. https://t.co/SCpd3dLC0i Efforts in fan engagement are complemented by partnerships aimed at broadening NASCAR's appeal, such as collaborations with Snapback Sports to target younger demographics through immersive and interactive experiences. This strategy mirrors NASCAR's broader ambitions for global expansion, as with the planned Cup Series race in Mexico City and potential events in Canada. NASCAR's pursuit of innovation is also reflected in its interest in exploring new partnerships, such as bringing new OEMs into the competition alongside Chevrolet, Ford , and Toyota. Although NASCAR President Steve Phelps has stated these discussions are still in the early stages, the prospect of expanding the field of competitors could introduce fresh dynamics to the series. On top of that, adjustments to the damaged vehicle policy and improved technology use for rule enforcement are on the agenda for 2025.TOKYO , Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives from China and Japan shared their insights on promoting artificial intelligence (AI) governance and data sharing at a sub-forum of the 20th Beijing-Tokyo Forum in Tokyo recently.

Even if you can only make things out of plastic filament , the fact that you can create solid objects and elaborate constructs where once there was nothing is absolutely incredible in the grand scheme of things. To have such power in the comfort of your home can almost be a paralyzing prospect — when you've got that kind of functionality readily available to you, how could you possibly decide what to do with it? Before you decide to create some kind of world-saving robot with your 3D printer, though, you might want to start with some humbler goals. A 3D printer can be used to create all kinds of nifty gadgets and gizmos, after all, and if there were ever a place that could always use more gadgets and gizmos, it's your own home. With a big spool of filament and some crafty ingenuity, you'd be surprised what kind of cool things you could print, whether it's practical household helpers or just some neat junk to give your living space a little zing. The best way to really make a living space reflective of its owner is to fill it up with nifty tchotchkes and knick-knacks. A little statue on a shelf here, a framed photograph there, and suddenly an empty room looks like a lived-in space. However, even if you have fairly loose stylistic requirements, you might not always be able to find knick-knacks that meet your stylistic requirements in a store. As the old saying goes, if no one will sell it to you, just make it yourself. With a 3D printer, you can create just about any knick-knack your heart desires. Make a festive frame for your favorite family photo, a weird little holder for your work pens and pencils , or just a silly-looking statue to serve as a talking point on the coffee table. 3D printing gives you the flexibility to print just about any simple construct, and crafting simple things in this way is also a great way to practice using your 3D printer . Whether you're using pre-made printing files you find online or designing something from scratch, it's a nice low-stakes way to get acquainted with the printing process. Just about any stationary object in your home has a nonzero chance of being jostled around on a regular basis, and in some cases, you would really rather they not be. Whether you've got a bicycle that keeps falling over or a water dispenser in your fridge that doesn't slide far enough, these are both problems that can be solved with the help of a 3D printer. With a bit of measurement and tinkering, you can create all kinds of helpful mounts to keep tools, appliances, and other assorted objects nice and steady. In the case of a falling bicycle, for example, you can print a simple wall mount tailored to your bicycle's exact dimensions. All you need is an anchoring point to secure the dowels to the wall, and you've got a perfect rack to keep your bicycle suspended safely off the ground. Or, in the case of the refrigerator water dispenser, you can print a platform to raise it slightly off the shelf so it can safely slide out and dispense water. These are just a couple of examples of stabilizing, elevating mounts you can create with little trouble using your 3D printer. Here's an annoying scenario: the batteries in your TV remote die, and you need to replace them. You pop off the back cover and swap the batteries out, only to find that the cover has spontaneously vanished. Maybe you dropped it behind the couch without realizing it, or maybe the dog made off with it; whatever the cause, you've got a remote with exposed batteries on your hands. It's neither smart nor safe to leave the batteries hanging out like that, but how are you supposed to cover them up without the cover? Once again, it's your 3D printer to the rescue. By taking measurements of your remote, particularly noting any points where the cover was secured in place, you can create a near-exact duplicate of the lost cover using a 3D printer. This does require some skill with a caliper and a 3D modeling program, but the payoff is an immediate cover replacement rather than needing to call the remote manufacturer for one. In a similar vein, a 3D printer can also be used to create protective covers for small charging cables that have begun to fray. Rather than leaving those wires exposed, you can create a fitted shell to keep them held in place and protected from the elements. Let's say you've just popped a fresh bag of popcorn for movie night, but can't find a good bowl to keep it in. A regular dinner bowl is usually too small for a full bag of popcorn, but you can't seem to track down a well-sized bowl to fit all of it. If you frequently find yourself lacking in good snack-handling options, then rather than spending an hour browsing at a store, why not make the perfect bowl yourself? Whether with pre-made designs or from scratch, you can create perfect snack bowls and plates for any entertaining occasion. Not only will they be perfectly sized for the volume of snacks you're consuming, but you can also put fun spins on them, like a skull-shaped bowl for holding Halloween candy . Just remember that this trick is best only used for dry snacks like chips, M&Ms, nuts, or popcorn, as the plastic material may not be safe to use with hot meals. Double-check the filament you're using to ensure it's FDA-approved for food contact safety. Here's a fun fact: most action figures are made of simple composite parts, molded separately before being fitted together. Considering that, it's actually quite possible to make similar toys with your 3D printer by printing the parts onto runners and assembling them afterward. They might not be as detailed as what you'd get from the toy store or have all the wacky features built in, but you can still make some pretty cool toys from scratch. For example, by printing in flexible joints, you can create cute and nifty animals like a T-Rex or a shark that offer a degree of posing ability while also being able to withstand the rigors of playtime. Or, if you want something a little more dramatic, you can create a dynamic, fully poseable action figure from composite printed parts. After you make the main figure, you can also print accessories like armor and weapons if you want. These toys make great spur-of-the-moment gifts for the young and young-at-heart, as well as a fun way to get your kids involved with your 3D printing hobby.
New OGI Camera Detects Fugitive Ammonia and Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Emissions at Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities Non-Germanium Based Solution Insulates LightPath Customers from China's Recent Ban on Germanium Exports to the United States ORLANDO, Fla. , Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) ("LightPath," the "Company," or "we"), a leading provider of next-generation optics and imaging systems for both defense and commercial applications, today announced a new version of its Optical Gas Imaging ("OGI") camera platform to detect fugitive ammonia and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions for industrial and manufacturing applications. LightPath's recently launched OGI Camera platform is a specialized technology utilizing infrared (IR) cameras to detect and visualize emissions, in this case the detection of ammonia and SF6. OGI cameras are capable of visualizing gases that are invisible to the naked eye by detecting the infrared energy absorbed or emitted by the gases. LightPath's purpose-built OGI camera leverages a proprietary non-germanium BlackDiamondTM BD6 lens to improve upon current technologies by offering a cost-effective, higher sensitivity and ultimately more effective solution that concurrently insulates LightPath customers from the geopolitical supply chain issues plaguing competing Germanium based solutions – such as China's recent ban on the export of Germanium to the United States . SF6 is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas, but with a 23,500 times greater global warming potential than CO2. SF6 is used in the electrical industry as a gaseous dielectric medium for electrical equipment and power systems, as well as in medical, semiconductor and other industrial industries. Ammonia is used in food and beverage manufacturing, metal and plastics fabrication, and the energy and chemical industries. "Building on our oil and gas application OGI Camera, our newest variant expands our market potential into additional industrial and manufacturing applications," said Sam Rubin , President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath. "This version will help detect SF6, the most potent greenhouse gas known to-date, and ammonia, which is also harmful when released into the environment. Managing gas emissions is critical for operations and are controlled by a variety of federal, state and local regulations – making OGI cameras an essential compliance tool. To meet these requirements, a wide spectrum of industries are seeking solutions that are cost effective, highly sensitive, and don't require the use of a proprietary software. "With China's recently announced ban on the export of Germanium to the United States , it's more important than ever for U.S. companies to evaluate non-Germanium solutions for optics and imaging systems of all kinds. In this case, our OGI purpose-built camera with a non-germanium lens improves on current emissions detection technology, satisfies regulatory requirements for our clients, and provides an economical tool for multiple applications while ensuring supply chain security," concluded Rubin. About LightPath Technologies LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) is a leading provider of next-generation optics and imaging systems for both defense and commercial applications. As a vertically integrated solutions provider with in-house engineering design support, LightPath's family of custom solutions range from proprietary BlackDiamondTM chalcogenide-based glass materials – sold under exclusive license from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory – to complete infrared optical systems and thermal imaging assemblies.

While he took oath as CM again in 2019, the 72-hour tenure did not leave any scope for him to attend the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur while being in the hot seat. Finally, after a long wait of almost six years, Fadnavis will kick-off the winter session in Nagpur from December 16 while manning the top post. A close aide of Fadnavis, who was active in civic politics but did not wish to be named, said, "So many people from the then united NCP and Shiv Sena had trolled Fadnavis for the ‘Mi Punha Yein' line. I don't want to take names because both those parties are now our allies, but Fadnavis never was vindictive. He welcomed both parties into the Mahayuti, and has now led the alliance to a landslide victory." He added that Fadnavis' political temperament is what keeps him going. "In politics, people become enraged and think of revenge. Fadnavis believes in moving on and focusing his energy on positive things. The best example is that of Shiv Sena (Shinde) MLA Sanjay Gaikwad. During Covid-era, Gaikwad had made a statement that he wants to shove corona virus down Fadnavis' throat. On the same day there was a clash between BJP and Sena workers in Buldhana, where Gaikwad hails from. Now, despite of things going to such a level, Fadnavis has no ill feelings about Gaikwad who is now in Mahayuti. Anybody else would have tried to sabotage Gaikwad's political career by demanding that assembly seat for BJP," said the saffron party leader. He added that when Fadnavis enters the assembly in Nagpur, life would have come a full circle. "It really is a slap on the face of opponents who tried to put him in jail, made vague allegations and even made fun of him and his family," the leader said.
