Wolfram Updates Webmathematica

Wolfram Research has introduced Webmathematica 3, a powerful new version of its technology for adding dynamic content to the web. Webmathematica 3 lets users quickly and cheaply build and deploy websites with interactive calculations and visualisations. Webmathematica 3 integrates the capabilities of Mathematica 6 and 7 with the latest web-server technology, making it suitable for creating websites where users can compute and visualise results directly in a web browser.

Webmathematica 3 is the chosen deployment technology for Wolfram|Alpha, a computational knowledge engine. Webmathematica 3 makes the calculations performed by Wolfram|Alpha possible by allowing users to tap into Mathematica's computational and graphic abilities without having Mathematica experience or installing it locally. Webmathematica 3 features expression language and custom tags. It comes with support for a more concise way to call to Mathematica from web pages.

It also contains a library with many useful tags, which provide valuable tools such as redirecting flow as web pages are generated. Webmathematica 3 allows long-running or asynchronous computation jobs to be executed by a new queuing system. Wolfram Workbench has many features that help to accelerate the development of Webmathematica content. Webmathematica 3 integrates with Wolfram Workbench so that Mathematica code can be debugged as it runs in the server.

Webmathematica 3 lets users write REST and SOAP web services that use Mathematica. A new, highly configurable logging system helps to track different types of errors and identify problems so they can be resolved easily. The kernel monitor has new code for monitoring memory usage, running time, concurrent requests and Java objects, which help to improve the reliability of the server. It allows starting and stopping of individual kernel pools, cancelling of individual computations and monitoring of queued jobs for progress and errors.

Webmathematica 3 launches kernels as soon as the server starts and launches all kernels in parallel, which helps to improve the start-up time for the server. It also has a number of new configuration tools, which limit the use of time and memory by the kernel; this helps to improve the reliability of the server. Kernels are automatically restarted in the background, so service remains uninterrupted. Webmathematica is based on Java Servlet technology, making installation simple and enabling seamless integration to standard server applications.

In addition to Wolfram|Alpha, Webmathematica is the deployment technology for web-based education tools and online calculators and serves as the publishing tool for interactive courseware and textbooks on the web.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
