Lithium nmc cathode2/17/2024 Improperly recycled batteries can create toxic waste, especially from toxic metals, and are at risk of fire. Lithium-ion solid-state batteries are being developed to eliminate the flammable electrolyte. Much progress has been made in the development and manufacturing of safe lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can be a safety hazard if not properly engineered and manufactured because they have flammable electrolytes that, if damaged or incorrectly charged, can lead to explosions and fires. Stanley Whittingham, John Goodenough, and Akira Yoshino were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries. The first prototype of the modern Li-ion battery, which uses a carbonaceous anode rather than lithium metal, was developed by Akira Yoshino in 1985 and commercialized by a Sony and Asahi Kasei team led by Yoshio Nishi in 1991. John Goodenough expanded on this work in 1980 by using lithium cobalt oxide as a cathode. Stanley Whittingham conceived intercalation electrodes in the 1970s and created the first rechargeable lithium-ion battery, based on a titanium disulfide anode and a lithium-aluminum cathode, although it suffered from safety problems and was never commercialized. NMC and its derivatives are widely used in the electrification of transport, one of the main technologies (combined with renewable energy) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate ( LiFePOģ-based lithium-rich layered materials, LMR-NMC), and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide ( LiNiMnCoOĢ or NMC) may offer longer life and a higher discharge rate. Handheld electronics mostly use lithium polymer batteries (with a polymer gel as an electrolyte), a lithium cobalt oxide ( LiCoOĢ) cathode material, and a graphite anode, which together offer high energy density. Lithium-ion cells can be manufactured to optimize energy or power density. A number of different cathode materials are used, such as LiCoO 2, LiFePO 4, and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides. The solvent is usually lithium hexafluorophosphate, dissolved in a mixture of organic carbonates. The anode (or negative electrode) is usually graphite, although silicon is often mixed in to increase the capacity. All commercial Li-ion cells use intercalation compounds as active materials. It also sees significant use for grid-scale energy storage as well as military and aerospace applications.Īlthough many thousands of different materials have been investigated for use in lithium-ion batteries, the usable chemistry space for this technology, which has been made into commercial applications, is extremely small. More specifically, Li-ion batteries enabled portable consumer electronics, laptop computers, cellular phones, and electric cars, or what has been called the e-mobility revolution. The invention and commercialization of Li-ion batteries are considered to have had one of the largest societal impacts in human history among all technologies, as recognized by the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Also noteworthy is a dramatic improvement in lithium-ion battery properties after their market introduction in 1991: within the next 30 years, their volumetric energy density increased threefold while their cost dropped tenfold. In comparison with other rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries are characterized by higher specific energy, higher energy density, higher energy efficiency, a longer cycle life, and a longer calendar life.

OmniGraffle Pro instal the new for ios2/17/2024 The iPad app syncs diagrams created on your Mac via OmniGraffle’s free OmniPresence service or Omni Sync Server and you can also use iCloud. You can even drag entire canvases and drop them in other apps and use an Apple Pencil with it. The iPad app allows you to drag and drop layers, objects and photos from your iPad. OmniGraffle for iOS can also open Visio files and stencils and makes it easy to design on your iPad. OmniGraffle is also the only alternative to Visio on Mac that fully utilizes the Touch Bar on new MacBook Pros.Īlthough this definitely takes some getting used to at first, when you’ve got the hang of it, it does make it quicker to add objects, change colors and rotate objects than via the Touchpad or mouse.Īpart from the Mac app, OmniGraffle has a very decent native iPad app too. You can easily group and ungroup items in OmniGraffle too. OmniGraffle makes it very easy to change the direction and format of diagrams via the Diagram Layout Switcher. OmniGraffle does however have a dedicated following of users that have created repositories of free OmniGraffle Stencils although the best resources such as Graffletopia cost an extra $24 per year (but is well worth it if you’re going to be using OmniGraffle a lot).Īlthough OmniGraffle lacks the convenient automated diagramming features of SmartDraw, it does make it easy to rearrange diagrams in a few clicks.įor example, it’s often the case that you want to change the layout of a diagram without having to manually change the direction of every swimlane, connector and object. OmniGraffle doesn’t include many stencils or templates – certainly nothing like the tens of thousands you get in tools like SmartDraw – but all the essentials are there. This makes OmniGraffle considerably easier and more straightforward to use than Visio on Windows but without sacrificing power and features. OmniGraffle has a very clear, organized and user-friendly interface that’s easier to get to grips with than Microsoft Visio. OmniGraffle can also export to most major image formats and even Photoshop PSD format which you don’t often get in diagramming software. Import support in general is excellent in the latest version of OmniGraffle with SVG vector graphics now supported too whereas previously, they were converted into lower quality Bitmap images. OmniGraffle Standard costs $99.99 but you have to upgrade to the Pro version for an extra $99.99 to import and export Visio files. Note that the Standard version of OmniGraffle won’t suffice if you need Visio file support. but you can export it back to Visio VDX format (also known as XML) at any time. When you import a Visio file, it will be automatically converted into OmniGraffle’s. Once it’s installed on your Mac, OmniGraffle automatically detects Visio files so that if you double-click on them, they will automatically open in OmniGraffle.Īlternatively, you can drag any Visio file to the OmniGraffle icon in your dock and it will open. When it comes to importing Visio files however, OmniGraffle Pro opens all Visio formats including VSDX, VSD, VDX files and Visio stencil files in VST, VTX, VSX and VSS format. If you need to work with Visio clients or customers, we strongly recommend going with SmartDraw instead which is the only Visio alternative on Mac that can both import and export to the latest Visio VSDX file format. However, it’s important to be aware that OmniGraffle can only export to Visio VDX format – it can’t export to VSDX format used by Visio 2013 and Visio 2016. However, it has definitely been made with Visio in mind and the Pro version can import and export Visio files. OmniGraffle is a far more artistic graphic design tool than just a technical diagramming program like Visio. Since there’s no version of Visio for Mac, OmniGraffle is frequently cited as one of the best alternatives to it although the fact is it’s much more than that.Īnything created in OmniGraffle looks considerably more stylish than in Visio because OmniGraffle uses high quality vector graphics. The developer Omni Group has a very solid track record with productivity software on Mac with the excellent project management software for Mac OmniPlan (see more in our full review of OmniPlan).Īll Omni Group software is designed specifically for Apple products so it’s nice to know from the start that you’re getting something that’s tailor-made for Macs and iPads. OmniGraffle is a powerful diagramming and graphic design software suitable for everything from wireframes, electrical systems and prototypes to family trees, mind-mapping and maps of software classes.

Dwarf fortress stone pref tg2/17/2024 These aren't "what's the best ratio of boilers to steam engines in Factorio" kinds of details, these are core mechanics of the game that just aren't being told to the player. A lot of the tips and features that Quill18 talked about in his series were things that one of my friend said they'd never heard of even though he had watched multiple other videos. I get that "losing is fun" is meant to be a big part of the experience, but losing because the game wasn't designed to explain most of its own mechanics is more than a little frustrating - and honestly doesn't feel fair. I honestly don't know where to go from here. The moment that made me decide to take a break was when I noticed that the population had grown to 11 dwarves, seemingly without the game deciding to let me know when the latest batch of migrants showed up. All of them seem to be more interested in slowly hauling chunks of stone up forty flights of stairs in my desperate attempt to find fertile soil. Meanwhile, my dwarves are rapidly running out of things to drink, but nobody wants to gather any of the surface plants I designated for pickup months ago. The process listed on the wiki for creating "muddy stone" seems overly convoluted for someone this new to the game. In a mad dash to find some natural caverns that I could use for farming, I sank my main stairwell all the way down to level 20, but still haven't had any luck. The small plot I designated on the surface presumably needs to be fertilized before I can grow anything in it, but my dwarves don't seem interested in doing any of the work necessary to fulfill the ash / potash orders I put in. I dug out one floor to use for farming before remembering that I would need something like sand or soil to plant my crops. Later on, the reverse happened with tables I'd put in an order for 10 tables, watch my dwarves install every one of them, and afterward notice there were still 3 in my stockpile. But when I went to place them, I could only place 3 before the game told me I didn't have any more beds to install. I'd put in an order for 8 beds, and the game would eventually tell me that the order had been completed. I appointed a Manager so I could start using the Work Orders function, but it didn't seem like it was working right. I broke ground, dug down several levels, and then started shaping my stockpile and workshop level. I found a decent looking location according to his suggestions: a flux layer with no aquifers, and I even made sure to find one that had enough vegitation that I wouldn't have difficulty finding trees. I had watched the first three parts of Quill18's "Let's Learn" series on the game, and I thought that would give me a good handle on how to start what would hopefully become a successful fortress.ģ.5 hours later, and I'm pretty much back where I was with the free version. Despite a friend's warnings that I would probably end up feeling overwhelmed and frustrated - since that's what the game had done to me years ago - I recently bought the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress.

The levels now feature hidden secrets and puzzles that must be solved in order to progress. The team at F-Zero DXP has really gone the extra mile with this ROM hack. In the final fight, Mario won’t kill Bowser by throwing him into bombs but through a fire flower which means he can get to shoot fireballs to slay Bowser. Goombas run insanely fast and bombs explode in contact which brings an insane amount of damage. This hack takes the original game and gives it a complete makeover and has added a bunch of new features, like new power-ups, enemies, and even a new level. There is also a market where you can buy a red potion or a Hylian shield. After clearing the enemies, Mccloud will be given a treasure chest containing random items such as fireball, ruby, or total garbage. It requires strategy, so it pays to be smart and use both attack and defense as they are littered with bombs and flowers. The game field is always the same but there’s variation in terrain and theme – for example lava and fire areas with narrow platforms or slippery icy areas. In this N64 ROM hack, you get to play as Fox Mccloud, and y survive 30 days fighting off random enemies while collecting random rewards. Up for more challenges? Try these fanmade rom hacks to test your coping skills from a progressive difficulty level. This is probably one of the ultra-hard version Pokemon modifications to date.

Players can now take part in a variety of mini-games, such as a match-3 game, a fishing game, and a puzzle game. Plus, the team has added a bunch of new features, like a new Pokémon Stadium tournament and a new mini-game. Like other Pokemon Rom hacks Not only graphically upgraded, but the levels have been redesigned to create a brand new experience. It takes the classic game and gives it a complete overhaul. If you’re a fan of Pokémon, then you’ll love the Pokémon Stadium Kaizom which is a ROM hack of the original Pokémon Stadium game for the N64. The game also features an array of weapons, gadgets, and power-ups that players can use to take down Bowser’s forces. This N64 ROM hack adds a fresh twist to the classic shooter by replacing the classic James Bond with Mario attempting to rescue Peach’s castle from the clutches of Bowser and his Koopalings.Īs the player progresses through the game, Mario will encounter many of Bowser’s minions along the way. It also includes some new features to help you defeat the bosses faster, like finding cheat codes in hard-to-reach areas of Hyrule. What makes it more challenging is that you have to find the scattered pieces of Master Sword and assemble them. The game follows a similar structure to the original “The Legend of Zelda”, but with new enemies, items, levels, and even an entirely different storyline. First on our list is the unique hack of the classic game featuring fan-favorite Waluigi who is up to the challenge of saving Hyrule from Ganon’s evil plans.

Star wars mandalorian pinball2/16/2024 All of the modes feature video clips and get you closer to the wizard mode. None of the modes are particularly difficult, and most are best accomplished by stacking a multiball on top of it. Most require about 6 or 7 shots it seems, usually in different orders. There a 5 different modes from the first two season of the show, each dealing with a big event in the story line. In fact there are people who have modded the Groku to close his eyes and move his arms when the magnet is activated. It’s proclaimed as a large custom sculpture of Grogu but it’s really just an off the shelf toy type of thing. Having played both of them, I think the premium is a big step up in this area.īaby Yoda (Grogu) is in the back left corner. On the premium and LE, the upper playfield tilts and has two flippers for an added challenge. On the pro, it has one flipper and the playfield doesn’t tilt. The upper playfield is different between the models. They did a really good job of capturing the feel of the show. The hand-drawn artwork is really good, both on the cabinet and on the playfield. On my particular game, the cover over the right ramp was broke so I had to 3d print another one in order to get the ramp to work correctly. Once you play it and get it rolling, you’ll find that the shots get easier and you can really combo the playfield well. There’s a scoop on the left, the horseshoe scoop ramp, the center ramp shot, the right ramp shot, and then the loops and some stand-up targets. The Playfield and GameplayĪt first glance, the Brian Eddy designed playfield of The Mandalorian seems pretty tight up close. Was a little dirty with some broken pieces, but I’ve got it back going again. I myself bought my game used off location where it was being used in a bar. They’re usually cheaper than most dealers and are good with shipping. I recommend buying it from Home Arcade here: The Mandalorian Pinball Machine is available at a bunch of dealers and possibly used. The premium also has upgraded metal habitrails instead of plastic, but that also isn’t a big deal to me. There are some other differences like the Grogu magnet, but I don’t consider that to be that important honestly. Having played both of them a lot, I think that both of those features are worth the extra money. Two, the premium has an additional 180 ramp.First, the premium has a moving upper playfield with two flippers.There are two major differences between the pro and premium machines that the buyer has to consider: Software description provided by the publisher.Mandalorian Pro vs Premium Pinball Machine Once you’ve heard a song, you can listen to it any time you like in the game lobby.Īlso, challenge anyone in the galaxy through Galactic Tournaments, League Play and, of course, old-fashioned high scores achieved through Single Player mode.

Origin of oramge mackerel tabby cat2/16/2024 There haven’t been any studies that show orange cats are more aggressive or lazier than other cats, but we do know that treating our kitties with love and affection encourages them to be friendly and affectionate, no matter what color they are. Some people say orange cats, in general, are more feisty than their less fiery-colored companions.Īnother stereotype says that orange cats with tabby markings are lazier than other cats-though some suspect this is due to the popularity of a certain cartoon orange tabby who eats lasagna and hates Mondays. If your tabby cat belongs to a specific breed, like the adorable American shorthair, the good-natured Maine Coon, or the playful and curious Abyssinian, they are likely to have the personality traits associated with that breed. Since around 70% of cats have tabby patterns, this means most kitties, in general, are playful, friendly, affectionate, and loving-and I think most cat parents would agree with that! Tabby cat personality is often described as playful, friendly, affectionate, and loving. While every cat has its own unique personality, there are some traits that tabby cat parents say are more common in their M-marked feline friends. DNA studies show that the distinctive tabby pattern dates back to domestic cats in ancient Egypt and became common in the 18th century. The old French word “atabis” changed over time to the English “tabby.” The tabby pattern itself, however, came from a tabby’s direct ancestor, the striped Near Eastern wildcat. The word “tabby” originated from the striped fabric associated with the “Attabiy” district in Baghdad. No matter how the tabby came to be, they are wonderful, loving companions who all deserve fur-ever homes 2. To show her gratitude, Jesus’ mother Mary marked the forehead of the cat with her own initial.Īnother legend says it came from a cat staring at a mousehole for so long and so seriously that it developed little kitty frown lines! The most popular legend tells us that a tabby snuggled up to the baby Jesus to keep him warm in the manger. There are several legends on how the tabby cat got this one-of-a-kind mark. One thing all tabby cat patterns have is the distinctive “M” on their forehead. It’s like they couldn’t decide on just one outfit, so they chose the best of both worlds! Patched Tabby: Also known as “tortoiseshell tabby” or “torbie,” these cats combine the traditional tabby markings with patches of red or cream. Instead of bold stripes or spots, these cats have a warm, speckled appearance, almost like they’ve been kissed by the sun. Ticked Tabby: Also called agouti, tabbies with this type of coat pattern have individual hairs showing multiple colors.If mackerel tabbies are little tigers, spotted tabbies are little leopards! Spotted tabbies have random spots scattered across their bodies, ranging from tiny speckles to large blotches. Spotted Tabby: These kitties look like they’ve been sprinkled with a dash of wild essence.It’s no wonder they’re often likened to little tigers! If your feline friend looks like she’s wearing sleek, vertical stripes reminiscent of a fishbone, then she’s flaunting a mackerel tabby coat. Mackerel Tabby: The mackerel tabby coat is perhaps the most iconic of the tabby patterns.Occasionally, as with a black cat, the stripes on a classic tabby can be almost invisible unless you happen to catch a glimpse of them when the kitty is basking in bright sunlight. Classic Tabby: Often described as a “marbled” look, the classic tabby pattern (or blotched tabby) boasts bold, swirling patterns that almost resemble the intricate designs you’d find in a rich piece of agate.There are different types of tabby patterns that fall into several categories: What Breed Is a Tabby Cat?Īlthough some people think tabbies are a specific breed, the distinction actually refers to their coat pattern. So in memory of my own special Tabby, here are some tabby cat facts that answer 10 of your most-searched-for questions! 1. But we thought he was perfect and brought him home. You see, Tabby had reached the ripe old age of 6 months old, and no one wanted to pay for a kitten that “big.” So he kept getting passed over for the little ones. I’m pretty paw-tial to tabbies because my very first cat was a gray tabby named, well, Tabby, of course! Not only was Tabby my first cat, but my first pet rescue too! We rescued him from a pet store that was giving him away to a good home. So what exactly is a tabby cat? Are they hypoallergenic?
