Kapsys Launches Kapten Navigation Solutions

Kapsys has launched the Kapten navigation application for the Iphone and Kapten NG, a tiny pocket-sized multi-transport GPS device. Following the launch of Kapten, a voice-controlled GPS for use in cities, Kapsys is extending its range of GPS products with its Kapten application for the Iphone and its portable Kapten NG. These new products are designed to help users find their way around cities whether on foot or by public transport, car, bicycle or motorcycle.

Kapsys's products offer extensive coverage of North America and Western Europe. The Iphone navigation application is available on the basis of a monthly subscription rate at USD7.99 (GBP5.35) for unlimited use over a 30-day period, which can be renewed at will. Kapten for Iphone also offers the option of transferring to a permanent licence via the in-application purchase mechanism for GBP74.99. The company's Kapten NG measures 100mm in height, 55mm in length and 13mm in width and weighs 90g.

Its multi-transport functionality is suitable for navigation on foot, with or without the use of public transport, as well as driving or cycling. Kapten for Iphone is on sale now through Apple's online Itunes App Store. Two versions are available: one for the US/Canada and one for Western Europe.

The main functionalities offered by this application include multi-transport navigation, the coverage of public transport (underground, suburban trains and trams), genuine voice guidance and extensive visual displays, along with the 'Ktag' creation for tagging and sharing favourite locations. The North American Kapten application includes a map of the US and Canada. The Western European application covers 22 countries and territories: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the Vatican.

Kapten NG offers multi-transport navigation in a pocket-size format and the coverage of public transport (which can be used with pedestrian navigation), genuine voice guidance and extensive visual displays, along with the 'Ktag' creation to record favourite locations. The pocket-sized device has been available since February 2010. Kapten NG North America includes a map of the US and Canada and retails at USD224.90. The cartography behind these applications has been developed by Teleatlas.

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.
