		<description><![CDATA[Sanyo Denki announced two new high performance DC fans, a counter-rotating fan design available in 60mm and 80mm sizes.  They claim the largest airflow (2.26m^3/min for the 60mm, 4.53m^3/min for the 80mm) and highest static pressure (550Pa for the 60mm, 520Pa for the 80mm) capabilities in the industry.  Not surprisingly, performance comes with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For as long as cars have been driving along the roads, visionaries have looked to the future and predicted large fundamental changes for how the car would be built and used in the future (flying cars are probably the most common example, though the nuclear-powered Ford prototype of the 50&#8217;s/60&#8217;s is another great example).

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re looking to ensure fasteners don&#8217;t work their way loose in a high vibration environment, the washers from Nord-Lock are worth considering.  The basic premise behind them is to use ramps (at an angle greater than the pitch) to increase the bolt tension as the bolt begins to loosen &#8211; and thus ensure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A German company, Dirak, has taken an unusual approach to sheetmetal assembly.  They&#8217;ve worked out a system for literally snapping components in place rather than using screws.  This system is being used on everything from latches to handles and even hinges.  The advantages are fairly obvious, mainly, lower assembly cost.  However, [...]]]></description>
