Always a pleasure to see the guys again.



And they have a treat coming up: At last it'll be above freezing for a couple of days!



So I'll put them together sorting tools in the Abbey workshop. 



Should keep 'em out of trouble for the week!

Subject: [TN] NTC Element Quiz Answer



Here is the Element Quiz Answer:



The Question:

This element is synthesized with no naturally occurring amount found on Earth. It was first produced in 1944. The element has very very few commercial applications, however, a futuristic use as a heat generation source is being investigated. What element is being described?



The Answer:

The element is Curium (Cm)! Curium was synthesized by Glenn Seborg's team at UC Berkeley using the lab's cyclotron in 1944. The nuclear decay of

curium-241 isotope is being investigated as a thermoelectric electricity source for spacecraft and remote region power sources.



Also, someone on TechNet had emailed me the last time we covered curium that the Russians had already done the thermoelectric source application.

If someone knows that story, please send it out again. I didn't keep it in my notes.



The winner(s) of the weekly element quiz is Greg Munie, IPC,  and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys had a blast this week with Torsten's tasks and were last seen driving down Interstate

80 toward Greg's house.



So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 72 Robert Welch, Moog Component Group -Cool Ed,  That will dovetail nicely with a project I have in mind for them.  Coordinating X-Y data from our vision controlled Printer Drill & Laser into a unified data base where we can be preemptive on establishing scaling factors for thin innerlayers, flex & soldermask.. I spect Galax is more boonified than you guys, seeing how we just got the internet last year over the protest of a bunch of old timey fiddler players



Week 73 Torsten Hagge, Kristronics GmbH

- Clumpy and Kloumpios have been picked up at Hamburg airport and are looking forward to help with some laboratory work, as until now we havenĀ“t found anybody to run shortage tests of several kW... behind this they get the fantastic chance to redefine physical thermodynamic laws as required by car manufacturer and next weekend I will spend them a Berlin visit, where they can take off to US from the disaster airport



Week 74 Greg Munie, IPC

- assisted with ????





Everyone have a safe week.
