Taken-in system is a few pairs of roller and these rollers are full of saw-touth card wires. These rollers cooperate with the fixed card wires on flat to pre-opening the fibre tufts and even the web entering main carding zone. After fed to the taken-in system, the web is fed into the main carding zone which is formed by revolving flats and cylinder. Boths of them are full of saw-touth card wires and the card wires are oppositely directed. To complete the carding action, revolving flats and the cylinder should move in the opposite direction or in the same direction but cylinder should move faster than the revolving flats. A wide cylinder should be used because it can provide a lengthy path with the revolving flats for carding. And it can gradually reduce the tuft size....

...1. Logan's Run: The Story by Ken Sanes In 1976, Hollywood came out with a movie titled Logan's Run, which offered a vision of the future as a false paradise. In the movie, humanity is portrayed as having destroyed the earth's ecosystem by the 23rd century, through war, overpopulation and pollution, and retreated into a high-tech city enclosed in domes, full of futuristic buildings and public spaces that look like something out of a contemporary shopping mall. Inside, the inhabitants devote themselves to a life of indulgence while a computer with a vaguely seductive female voice controls the city and produces everything they need to live. They know nothing of the outside world, nor do they have any idea how to operate the machines that serve them. As in many similar works, the characters are portrayed as being much like children, dependent on the central computer to shelter them in their gilded cage. But the characters aren't only separated from the nature outside the city. They are also separated from the natural processes of life. They are incubated in nurseries, rather than being born, and they neither marry nor know their children. It is only natural, in their eyes, for sex to be purely a form of entertainment, unconnected to intimacy or procreation. Nor do they know anything of the natural process of aging. Because space is limited in the city, the computer simply does away with everyone on their 30th birthday. To lead these lambs willingly to their slaughter, it has given...

...Frantic riffs, motorik grooves and "perverse sounds" define Blur guitarists eighth solo album... A series of heavy squalls rather than a settled spell of fair weather, Graham Coxon’s eighth solo album travels many miles from the serene, crafted almost-folk of his last release, 2009’s The Spinning Top. That record was a long, themed exercise in sustained mood and atmosphere featuring guests as venerable as Danny Thompson, Martin Carthy and Robyn Hitchcock. In contrast, A+E is short, loud and brattish. It’s also tremendous fun. Driven by some of Coxon’s most innovative and uninhibited guitar playing, A+E’s trump card is its sheer sense of adventure. It’s not an album for lovers of the perfectly turned pop song so much as those who prefer to be bombarded by sonic extremes. The scratchy, angular pop of fizzing opener “Advice” sets the scene: melodic precision makes way for lopsided rhythm, abrasive textures, extemporised experimentation and vintage electronic equipment running riot. Much of the album takes delight in what can only be described as the sound of machinery arguing. The element of chance effectively becomes another instrument. A+E is produced by Ben Hillier, who worked on Blur’s Think Tank and – perhaps more pertinently – Coxon’s second solo album The Golden D. Like that record, A+E is self-played, relatively lo-fi and rhythmically eccentric, making little attempt to ingratiate itself to the listener. The major difference between the two is that this time Coxon generally...

... Some artists deal with language as a character on its own as opposed to a surface to draw upon. These artists place texts in ways that are intended to stimulate the way an audience perceives a work, to evoke emotion or to create a statement. However, others, particularly graphic designers, tend to focus on the decorative powers of text. Regardless of the artist’s intentions, the appearance of text within art can shift our appreciation of their sound and meaning. Artists that explore text in art include: Barbara Kruger, Yukinori Yanagi, Katarzyna Kozyra, Jenny Holzer, Wenda Gu, Shirin Neshat, Miriam Stannage, Colin McCahon and Jenny Watson. Artists such as Jenny Holzer, Wenda Gu and Shirin Neshat explore the cultural implications of language in art and the importance of language to identity through the inclusion of text that reflect a postmodern concern with the way we receive information in our contemporary society. Jenny Holzer is an American conceptual artist who belongs to the feminist branch of artists that emerged during the 1980’s. Originally an abstract painter and printmaker, Holzer became heavily interested in conceptual art and began creating works using text. The...

...Lou, Sijia Professor Manly ENG 108 Feb, 26, 2011 Summary 1: Article In the article “What Are Friends For? Power and Pain” which was written be Alessandra Stanley, we can know that the author thinks in adults’ world friendship is more constant than romances, but this rule is not right in the youths. Young people pay more attention to love than friendships, so in young’s world the friendships are more variable than the romances. This concept is also right in the “Gossip Girl”. This TV show talked about the friendship, power, romance, gossip and fashion in the campus between the boys and girls. Some parents think this TV show isn’t suitable for their children, because the contents in “Gossip Girl” let their children grow faster to know the real society. But the Children didn’t agree. Even though the “Gossip Girl” is a soap opera and it is based on a popular book series, it not only put fashion and sex as its main point, but also reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. Summary 2: TV show This TV show is from Gossip Girl season 4 Episode 2. Serena(S) and Blair (B) still stay at Paris and B get another chance from Prince Louis. But while B was getting ready for her perfect date, S was at Paris Morgue to make sure the people laid may or may not be Chuck Bass. Of course it wasn’t him. When S went back to tell B the whole sordid story B didn’t believe it for she just met Chuck minutes ago. Then S found her wayward stepbrother...

Cherly O’Shea, the VP of retail marketing at Hefty, is not at all happy with the way the IT is performing. She feels that IT personnel do not understand the idea behind the Savvy store program. She wants the IT people to support the Savvy Store and improve the customer experience, but IT people always keep talking about the internal stuff like infrastructure, bandwidth and technical architecture, which she is not concerned about. She feels that, she might have to go out of the company to get the savvy store accomplished. The COO, Glen Vogel, also adds word in word with Cheryl and agrees that Jenny Henderson, IT account manager just acts as if she understand the project.

...J. P. Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway From 1820 to 1870, the Industrial Revolution brought innovations and growth to America’s economy. Of those breakthroughs rose the railroad and textile industries. With the railways falling into debt, John Pierpont Morgan was asked to intervene. Multiple railroads fell under his control due to his reorganization of the industry and his actions came to be known as “morganization.” Founded in 1889 as Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company, Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates became one of the largest textile industries in the world. It was later recognized by Warren Buffett who seized control of the company and used it for further investments. This essay focuses on the question of: what can be learned by examining Morgan’s consolidation of the railroad industry and Berkshire’s astonishing growth? This era marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production. Industrialization in America involved three important developments: the harnessing of electricity, improvements to the industrial process including the acceleration of production, and lastly the expansion of transportation. An improved transportation system was crucial for raw materials to reach the factories and manufactured goods to reach consumers. Morgan was fixated on the restructuring of railways and began by proposing agreements between major lines. “Oppressed by debt and overbuilding, more than a third of the country’s railway trackage fell into...

...in their own homes, which required long tedious hours of hard work. They had the most basic equipment and provided themselves with all the raw materials. The problem with not being a legit foundry or business, led to people only working when they felt like working and on their own schedules. Either not enough products were being made or the results were inefficient. As the industrial revolution began to spread, the physical demand for labor was decreasing and required less energy for satisfying productivity through the use of inventions. D’Amato 2 D’Amato 2 New inventions that began to emerge with the urbanizing of a new society, made everything more suitable.

...1700’s it eventually led to America and they several other places as well. England had several resources that were strongly needed for industrialization. They needed coal, iron, cotton, access to water, and shipbuilding (Doc 1.). All of those things were used to dramatically change how things work. For example, they used iron for building new machines such as the Spinning Jenny, the Water Frame, and the Cotton Gin. Those machines were most important for increasing the textile production, the more things improved, the faster things got (Doc 6.). Great Britain was known for its large population to support the workers in the factories. While the Industrial Revolution was was happening the Britain government maintained to be stable, wealthy, and supportive of the economy growth....

...was almost 7,000 years old. In the Indus River Valley in Pakistan, cotton was being grown. By the 1450s, cotton was known throughout the world for all sorts of things. Cotton was important part in the American war, and was a major resource inn that particular time. A man in Massachusetts, Eli Whitney, secured a patent on the cotton gin in1793. By the 1850’s cotton was easily available at the corner store and sold by hundreds of different suppliers. As you would take out the time just to do it by hand you’re going to be going a long time due to the fact you only have two hands and you have to make sure you do it correctly or what the point of doing it. In 1764 The Spinning Jenny was invented by James Hargreaves to speed up the process of cotton thread manufacture. You can just see the spools of thread on this Spinning Jenny. From this you can see how the smaller wooden spools evolved into the thread spools we know...

...took place from the 18th to 19th century and was a period of movement towards industrialization and urbanization. According to the article Industrial Revolution, Britain was the birth place of this new revolution due to the invention of the spinning jenny, or “Jenny” for short, by the Englishman James Hargreaves. Samuel Slater, an English-American industrialist, is known as the “Father of the American Industrial Revolution.” Slater brought a version of the Jenny to the United States from Great Britain, effectively creating the first textile mills. By the time of his death, Slater owned thirteen spinning mills, which shows how successful industrialization of a new country was. The Manufacturer and Builder was a 26-part New York Journal that was first hand account of what was happening on the industry side of the revolution, meant for the citizens of the country explaining the importance of textiles and steam power. Before the Industrial Revolution, spinning and weaving were done at home for the family itself. The Jenny, after upgrades from countless inventors, changed the course of the economy. In the southern states the surplus of cotton proved beneficial; however, the seeds could not be removed from the cotton quickly enough for the Jenny. Inventor Eli Whitney created the cotton gin that made it possible to remove seeds from cotton about 60 times faster. This invention further boosted the boom in industry. The scholarly journal Factor Endowments, Inequality, and Paths of Development...

...considered to have all the factors of production which includes: land, labor, and capital. Each of these resources are needed as a backing for an Industrial Revolution hence why England experienced much prosperity during that time. A burst of creativity and new inventions revolutionized industry. The first of England’s major trades to be completely reformed was its textile industry. Several inventions such as the flying shuttle and the spinning jenny sped up how spinners and weavers made cloth. The flying shuttle doubled the work a weaver could do in a day while the spinning jenny allowed a worker to spin up to eight threads at a time. Originally these machines were operated by hand, but when water frame was invented and incorporated with the spinning jenny the spinning mule was created. A spinning mule made thread stronger, finer, and more consistent while human work was erratic and unpredictable. Beck states that “The first factories were built to house spinning and weaving machines in the textile industry…”(635). This was because the practice of spinning/weaving had been basically removed from the home. A later invention called the power loom, which was operated by water-power, was also included in most of these factories. Great advances in transportation are another example of an industrial improvement. The first development, known as the steam engine, was created because of the need to have an inexpensive and convenient form of power. Unfortunately the first models used required...

...introduced machines to manufacture, iron, printing, papermaking, and engineering industries. One of the Technological Revolutions of the United States development was the steam power and cotton gin, which changed American society and caused the economy to explode. Industrial Technology The most important factor was the Bessemer process. Henry Bessemer and William Kelly discovered a new way to convert iron ore into steel, which led to a rise in steel production in the second Industrial Revolution. In 1767, the textile industry was invented by steam engines, which were used to make cloth. The spinning jenny was introduced by James Hargreaves, which was a machine that increased the amount of cotton yarn that could be spun. In 1779, one machine called the mule was introduced by Samuel Compton who combined the jenny and the water frame machines to produce 300 times as much yarn than on a spinning wheel. Because of these machines English weavers were working 200 times more cotton in 1800’s than they had in the late 1700’s. Industrial Growth There are two economic systems in the world, one being the socialist economy and the capitalist economy. In a capitalist economy private business owners control the business. The laws of supply and demand control prices and wages. The United States, founded capitalist economy on the constitutional right to own private property. The distrust of...
