The boys cannot have my job.  Both are allergic to toluene.

Doug had the same worry about his job, but they were over-qualified.

Dave,

The guys arrived and we're going to have them help perform cross sections 
for the team this week.  If they finish early, I'm going to let them spend 
a couple of days fishing at the coast after our three day rain.

They're becoming pretty familiar with our place, and I'm afraid someone is 
going to offer them my job!

Leland

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element is can be found in specific river sands in India, Brazil and 
on several Florida beaches. This element is critical for magneto caloric 
refrigeration technology. This element is used in part of a microwave.
What is the element is being described?

The Answer:

The element is Gadolinium (Gd)! Gadolinium is found in monazite river sand 
and the beach sand of Florida. Gadolinium is combine with yttrium to make 
garnets for use in microwaves. A intermetallic alloy of Gadolinium, 
Silicon and Germanium is being heavily investigated for magneto caloric 
refrigeration use. A wheel containing the GdSiGe alloy passes thru a gap 
in a strong permanent magnet. There is an exchange of heat when the 
ferromagnetic Gd atoms realign with the magnetic field and cooling water 
is used to the remove the heat. The reverse action happens as the GdSiGe 
alloy leaves the magnetic field thus a second stream of water is cooled 
and that stream then can be used for refrigeration. The really neat thing 
about this process is no compressor noise!


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc., and 
he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys 
flew out of Munich today and are on their way to Leland facility.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug,  Spartan Complex Systems Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC Week 
3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited Week 3 Pat Goodyear, 
PGE Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory Week 5 Tom Carroll, 
Boeing Defense, Space and Security Week 6 Steve Gregory Week 7 Phil 
Kinner, PVA Week 8 Brian Ellis

Week 9 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- My Welsh colleague Jeff, whose desk is next to mine, was on holiday this 
last week so Clumpy and Kloumpios parked themselves in his seat and spent 
the week spouting jibes and insults, particularly about English Rugby -it 
was just like Jeff was still there!  I think you could put that down as 
"providing workplace entertainment and uplifting moral".

Week 10 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with a 5S effort - They're scrubbing, replacing old floor tape, 
and helping to get things in pristine shape.

Week 11 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp
- assisted with getting my boat ready for this summers fishing trips.
Today we will be replacing a conveyor in one of my reflow ovens, then wave 
maintenance for the rest of the week.

Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld-Elektronik
- They can really help me with my CAD library (big pile of datasheets on 
my desk, new stuff for these layouts). I'd give them a Cadstar crash 
course. If the library work is done or if they need a break, they can have

much fun with our two cats. Later they could visit Munich.

Week 13 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!
