In simple words static electricity can be defined as an electrical imbalance of a material that can interrelate with other materials. An atom has the positively (+) charged Protons and negatively (-) charged Electrons in equal numbers and force. This equilibrium is vitiated when an Electron leaves the atom (Protons dont migrate) and the atom becomes positive. The charge thus created is stagnant and can be either on the surface or volumetric.

This condition often causes serious problems to men, machines and materials particularly in electronic, textile, plastic, paper and other industries that use or produce nonconductive materials. The loss resulting from static electricity is colossal in the United States. It includes injury, sometimes fatal, to workmen from shock, damage to machinery and equipments, and poor quality of the product. It is imperative to measure, control and diffuse this dangerous charge.

In conductive materials, static electricity can be grounded. But where nonconductive materials are involved, the ideal way to neutralize static charge is to follow the dictum opposites attract. If particles which have opposite polarization to the ones present are released, they draw each other and diffuse the charge. This is known as ionization.

For this function, static bars are cost efficient. They have ionizing points that emit both positive and negative charged particles known as ions. Once the static charge that is causing problem is located and its magnitude assessed, static bars can be placed strategically near the trouble spot. It would be prudent to consult an expert before undertaking this job.

There are different types of static bars. Some are short. Others are long and rigidly constructed to avoid intermediate support. Portable ones offer flexibility. A shockless bar is available for installing in areas where the chance of personnel coming into contact with it exists.

Maintenance is simple. Keep the bars clean and they will give extended service.

Black & Decker DCM2900 SmartBrew 12 Cup Digital Coffee Maker

Programmable Clock and Timer / Stop & Serve Mode / Easy to Read Water Reservoir Markings / Removable Brew Basket / White
Customer Review: Dribble Carafe
Purchased to replace a Mr. Coffee that finally gave up the ghost. Had comparable features like auto brew timer and auto shut off. Will be replacing it soon with another Mr Coffee. When you pour the first and second cups you can expect to make a mess with the dribble carafe. It is difficult to fill the coffee maker with water without making another mess. I dont know why they added a splash bar across the fill area but it does make filling it with water a challenge. On the positive side the brew timer and suto shut off work well and it makes coffee as you would expect. The big down side is that useability is lacking.
Customer Review: Stay away from this one
I have had this coffee maker for about a month. I thought the longer I had it, the easier it would be to pour coffee into a cup or water into the maker without making a mess on the counter top. I was wrong. I am going to return this one and get one of the 'real' Smartbrew Black & Decker coffee makers. This one is not a 'Smartbrew' model. The Smartbrew models have what B&D calls a Perfect Pour spout. These carafes are a breeze to pour. No dribbles, ever. Why they don't use the nicer carafe on all their models is a mystery to me. I have had a non-programmable B&D Smartbrew coffee maker at my camper for 7 years. It makes way better coffee than this one and the carafe is way better.


We've all seen those air purifier infomercials. But can a little $449 home air purifier really help allergies? Last year over 4 million air purifiers were sold in the US. And while allergies rank #1 as the reason people bought an air purifier the rise of childhood asthma (up 60% over the last 10 years) is a close second.

With 106 air purifier manufacturers and 12 technologies to research I was overwhelmed. I wondered what type works best for allergies? Or asthma? And the strong competition between manufacturers is creating confusion for consumers. According to one industry analyst:

"Manufacturers are battling over whether ozone purifiers, ion purifiers, and the no-replacement-filter-type purifiers are best in the minds of consumers"

According to Rich Mayer, a Research Scientist who specializes in Air Purification Technology 3 things stand out:


1) Most air technology on the market has been around over 40 years.

2) Most people didnt know what technology matched their needs (to know see below)

3) Most people are paying too much, and for the wrong technology.

5 things you should know before you buy an Air Purifier

#1: Replacement Filters are Over-Priced

In Japan air purifiers include 2-3 extra replacement filters. WHY? Because the Japanese think ahead.

U.S. manufacturers realize American's dont think ahead so they overcharge. Once you purchase an air purifier youll be stuck paying what they ask. (Reminds me of my $89 inkjet printer the replacement cartridges are $28!)

Remedy: Ask for filter prices first. Every 6-12 months youll need to change filters. And anything over $25 is too much.

Buying Hint: Ask for a discount on extra replacement filters before buying.

#2: Avoid Purifiers That Say: No Replacement Filters

The idea sounds great but once you've seen a dirty HEPA filter (HEPAs are a cloth-like filter which holds dust and pollution) you realize the ones without filters aren't catching very much dust or pollen YOUR LUNGS ARE!

No Replacement Filter Models include:

Ionic Breeze

Oreck Models (they contradict themselves on their website. You have to replace filters, but they aren't HEPA)

Remedy Get an air purifier that has affordable replacements. HEPA is important if you have allergies.

#3: "Fanless" Air Purifiers Wont Move Enough Air

The ionic purifiers sell you on how quiet they are and how little electricity they use. The problem is they dont move any air.

(Note; Because of this problem Sharper Image went to fans in their new models)

Remedy: Avoid purifiers without fans.

#4 Avoid Loud Fan Motors

A few people have emailed me that after buying an air purifier they couldn't sleep.

Remedy: For a super quiet fan ask for one with brushless motors. Read the box for decibel levels. 20-35 decibels is quiet enough for sleep.

#5: It Wont Do The Square Footage On The Box

I called Oreck when their new $700 tower was listed as covering 1100 square feet. How Many Times Does It Change The Air In The Room? (which means how many times it will change all the air in that room).
They didnt know. Finally a tech said: One per hour. Thats poor.

Remedy: Make sure to ask for 4-9 Changes Per Hour per Square footage.(You may have to call the manufacturer) Square Footage as listed on the box is also based on an empty room.

How to Choose The Right Technology

Here are some guidelines to match the basic technologies to your needs:

#1 HEPA, Pre-filter, Neg/Ion, Plasma Grid = Helpful for allergies and asthma, some odors

#2 Carbon, Charcoal, Ozone = Helpful for odors, smoke, animal smells, chemical sensitivity, VCOs, and immune system

#3 UV, TiO2, Plasma Grid, Ceramic = Helpful for immune system (colds, flu, viruses, pathogens), and eliminating musty odors

New Sensor Technology
There is a cool new technology from Japan that detects pollen. It promises to bring greater allergy relief. It continuously adjusts the purifier to the room saving electricity and guesswork.

In the end the home Air Purifier I found became one of the 3 parts of the plan that eliminated my allergies.

Mark Richardson is a Los Angeles based Health Practitioner and Author. He has been interviewed on over 300 radio and TV stations across the U.S. on how he cured his allergies and asthma by changing 3 things in his external and internal environment.

Drinking coffee has been part of peoples morning treat. Some may even want to witness its aroma in the afternoon or evening.

But whenever you want to have it, enough time should be set aside just to prepare a good cup of brewed coffee.

    Customer Review: B&D Coffee Maker
    I like the coffee maker ; However the unit has been made much cheaper than the older version that I think it will not last as long as the older version that is still working fine after 13 years.
    Customer Review: Not a quality product
    I owned a space saver coffeemaker years back and loved it. I decided to buy the Black and Decker Spacesaver Coffemaker. I ended up returning the first one because it just quit and now my second one is not dispensing all the water when you run the cycle. I will not buy a third one. And yes, it is a s-l-o-w coffeemaker.


    Whatever your carpet cleaning needs are, whether they are for a small and delicate rug or a commercial sized office space, there is a portable carpet cleaner that can get the job done. It doesn't matter if you need a machine that will clean spots along the way or one that can hold gallons upon gallons of cleaners there is one out there that can tackle the job you have in mind.

    Of course the one thing you want most in your portable carpet cleaning equipment is genuine portability. The irony is that what some people consider portable and what the rest of us find to be easily portable are not always the same thing. My definition moves along the lines of whether or not I can use it without breaking my back in the process. Professional carpet cleaners find those cleaners that can be mounted on the back of a truck and transported to be perfectly portable.

    Everything in life I suppose is subjective. Small jobs that require mere spot cleaning should require nothing that can't be transported easily in the trunk of a car. Stanley Steamer and other carpet cleaning companies will have equipment, which to them is portable but would never fit into the trunk of my car.

    Residential and Commercial Equipment can be moved

    Portable cleaning equipment that is generally used for home use is typically a small steam cleaner with a built in extractor. These machines are fairly easy for most people to transport as well as to maneuver enough to clean your house. Some do opt to use two-piece of equipment however--one of which is used for the cleaning of your carpets and the other to extract the water. This is a better way of removing the water and allows the carpet, furniture, or drapes to dry much more quickly thus minimizing the risk of mildew.

    Commercial equipment will perform the same functions but are generally built to much more rigorous specifications as they are used day in and out on many jobs along the way. These machines are much larger in size and generally must be transported on larger truck or vans then unloaded for use.

    Portability may be subjective but most homeowners prefer the type of portability that can be stored in a closet and out of sight for a time. In addition to scrubbers and extractors, other portable carpet cleaning equipment include blowers (for drying the carpet) and heaters to keep the cleaners nice and steamy throughout the job. These are very helpful tools for large jobs.

    Choosing the right equipment for your carpet cleaning needs is very important and often depends entirely on the size and scope of the job you are taking on. The ability of the person doing the job is another mitigating factor that should be considered as well. Check around town and see where you can find the best prices along with a machine that you feel will not break your back or budget in the steam cleaning process.

    A conveyor belt is indispensable in many industries. Conveyor belts are used primarily for transporting. In assembly-line operations, conveyor belts also are used in conjunction with other systems. Value addition occurs all along the path at different stages.

    The food-processing industry is a billion-dollar industry that adds value to agricultural products with or without any conversion processes. Agricultural products are packaged after simple processes such as dry-freezing. For instance, vegetables are dried through processes that enhance the life of them. Other products are processed through different stages and come out as processed items. For instance, meat goes through several stages, such as cooking, deboning and crushing, before it is finally packed.

    The value chain of food processing industries varies for different products. In general, the processes are cleaning, sterilizing, cooking, cutting and vacuum packing. The food processing industry employs many types of equipment and machinery. Equipment can be classified as rendering devices, sterilizing equipment, material handling devices, packaging equipment and laboratory equipment. The machinery depends upon the type of foods processed, such as meat and vegetables.

    Foods such as meat and vegetables need to be cut after processing through different stages. Various devices such as cutters, choppers and dicers are used to do this. Choppers are placed along the conveyor belts. This improves the efficiency of the operation. Choppers of various sizes can be obtained from different vendors of food-processing equipment. Knives and cutters can be used directly on the belt surface itself. Belts that are cut-resistant are used in these conveyor belt systems.

    The choice of equipment can be customized according to the needs of the food processor. Many vendors provide turnkey solutions for food-processing needs.

    Conveyor Belts provides detailed information on Conveyor Belts, Plastic Conveyor Belts, Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts, Rubber Conveyor Belts and more. Conveyor Belts is affiliated with Fiber Optic Connectors.

    Air Conditioners: In an Air Conditioner chemicals are used to cool the temperature of the room. The liquid chemicals are produced from a gas, which again converts to gas form. The chemical transfers the heat from the inside to the outside of the room.

    Mainly the Air Conditioner machine has three parts, a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The condenser and compressor are in the outside portion of the machine while the evaporator is located inside the room.

    In the processor the chemical, which is a low-pressured cooled gas, enters. The processor then squeezes that chemical. It makes the molecules of the chemical come closer together. The closer molecules create high energy and heat. The chemical leaves the compressor as hot and high-pressure gas and enters the condenser. At the backside of the machine we can see a metal fin. It works as a radiator and helps to cool down the heat very quickly. When the chemical leaves the condenser, it becomes very cold. The liquid flows in the evaporator through a small hole.

    On the other end the chemical becomes colder and starts to evaporate and becomes gas. As the liquid becomes gas it soaks heat from the surrounding area. The heat of the air is needed to separate molecules of the chemical, which were packed together in the processor. The evaporator also has metal fins to exchange cool temperature with surrounding air. The liquid again leaves the evaporator and begins the same process. A fan connected with the evaporator circulates the cool air into the room.

    Customer Review: Daily coffee drinker likes this product
    I purchased this machine months ago. I program it each night so that my coffee is ready and waiting for me the next workday. If you leave it on it turns off by itself after two hours. I also have a bigger coffee maker but I use that one only when I have a big group of people in the house, otherwise I only use this one. I've had ZERO problems with it. The coffee it makes is good. What else do you need? You make your coffee, you drink it freshly made, and that's it. I purchased this item in Target on sale, but even not on sale it isn't that expensive, considering it is programmable and the timer features. It's a good product and I recommend it. I don't get the negative reviews. What more do you expect from this little machine?
    Customer Review: Don't buy it
    Poorly designed, awkward to use. The control panel and water gauge are located on the side, thus requiring you to turn the brewer sideways when using. But what you see might as well have stayd out of sight. You cannot "read" the water gauge unless you hold a flashlight on it; impossible to see the water level, because of the dark colors. The control pad is flimsy and too small for easy touch control. The light indicating power on is so small that you have to bend down to be eye level with that light in order to see it clearly, and that eye level is less than three inches above counter top. You could easily leave the power on without ever noticing it. The stainless caraffe is handsome enough, but of course it has no water level indicator to compensate for the unreadable one on the base. I get irritated every time I make coffee.


    Coffee Presses

    French presses or more recently coffee presses are the ultimate green coffee maker. Other than heating water in a separate kettle no energy is required, and now the Toddy Maker Cold Brew Coffee Maker eliminates even that requirement. The toddy maker coffee cold brew method drastically reduces many of the oils and acids found in hot brewed coffee that are not soluble at low temperatures. Cold brew coffee is easier on the stomach for acid sensitive coffee drinkers. Opinions vary on if cold brew leaves too much of the oil and acid in the bean.

    Perhaps the most valuable feature of coffee presses is that they give you absolute control over the temperature of the water used for the coffee maker brew, which, along with the quality of the bean, is probably the most important factor in the quest for the perfect cup. Bodum is still the biggest seller worldwide but AeroPress and other coffee press manufacturers are making a name. The number of reviews for coffee machines of all kinds indicate how passionate people are about their coffee and the different styles of coffeemakers.

    Drip Coffeemakers

    Cold water from a reservoir on the coffee maker is first heated and then dripped onto coffee grounds contained within a filter assembly. That is the essence of a drip coffeemaker. You can still find manual drip coffeemakers but the overwhelming majority of drip coffee makers are electric. The final result is brewed coffee deposited into a glass pot, a thermal carafe, or an insulated travel mug.

    There are variations in the water temperature of the brew, the filter assembly design, and speed of the drip, so some drip coffeemakers do make better coffee than others, and it's not necessarily a function of price. Black & Decker is the value leader. With a little experience, however, you can tweak any drip coffeemaker to get it just right for you. Some models are programmable and have built-in water filters. Some drip coffeemakers like the Cuisinart DGB900 grind and brew in one operation. A drip coffeemaker sits on your kitchen counter in plain sight so maybe the deciding factor should be whether the darn thing is attractive enough to be there.
