UK house prices gain for second month

UK house prices climbed for a second month in August in the latest sign that low interest rates and the decline of the last two years are attracting buyers.

The average house price rose 0.8pc to an average of £160,973 after gaining 1.2pc in July, the latest survey from Halifax showed on Thursday. That leaves prices down 7.6pc compared with 12 months ago.

The demand for housing has increased since the start of the year due to better affordability and low interest rates. Moreover, low levels of property available for sale, has further boosted house prices over the last few months.

In the light of these recent improvements, UK Housing has put together expert advice and guidance to help with private letting and how to sell your house privately.

Definition of Static Grounding and Grounding and Bonding

1. What is Grounding and Bonding

Grounding & Bonding is a combination of Grounding and Bonding techniques. Bonding is the process of connecting two or more conductive objects together by means of a conductor so that they are at the same electrical potential, but not necessarily at the same potential as the earth. On the other hand, Grounding describes the process of bonding one or more conductive objects to the ground, so that all objects are at zero (0) electrical potential.

2. What is Static Grounding

Static Grounding is the process of bonding one or more conductive objects to the ground, so that all objects are at zero (0) electrical potential, to prevent static build up. In order to secure hazardous areas Static Grounding Systems use explosion protection and intrinsically safe techniques to monitor acceptable resistance to ground and provide verification and interlocks.

Tokyo robotics experts unveil sci-fi wheelchair

Robotics and medical experts in Japan unveiled the prototype of a new hi-tech electric wheelchair that resembles a scooter and promises greater mobility. Users ride astride the four-wheeled Rodem — rather than sitting in it, as in a conventional wheelchair — steer it with a joystick and hold onto motorbike-style handles while the knees and chest rest on cushions. The design allows users to slide more easily on and off the vehicle, lessening reliance on care-givers to lift them, the inventors said.

“I believe this is a whole new idea for a wheelchair,” said Makoto Hashizume, head of the Veda International Robot Research and Development Centre and a medical professor of Kyushu University. “With this vehicle, users can move around more freely and more actively without much help from other people.”

The robotics and medical specialists, including from Germany and Italy, aim to invent robots for use in health and nursing.

Shot peening

Metal Improvement Company provide specialised metal finishing services including heat treatment, surface finishing and in particular, shot peening. Shot peening is a process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals. It entails impacting a surface with shot (round metallic, glass or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation. It is similar to sandblasting, except that it operates by the mechanism of plasticity rather than abrasion: each particle functions as a ball-peen hammer. In practice, this means that the process removes less material, and less dust created. It was common practice for blacksmiths to hammer peen the concave side of leaf springs; this process enhanced the life of the springs, although the exact mechanism was unknown.

Peening a surface spreads it plastically, causing changes in the mechanical properties of the surface. Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to relieve tensile stresses built up in the grinding process and replace them with beneficial compressive stresses. Depending on the part geometry, part material, shot material, shot quality, shot intensity, shot coverage, shot peening can increase fatigue life from 0%-1000%.
