Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question



Here is the Element Quiz Question:



The Question:

This element is a major fire hazard and must be stored in kerosene or an inert atmosphere. It will ignite and burn if it comes in contact with skin.

This element, in its gas form, can be used to make a very accurate gas cell clock for GPS applications. This element is produced from ore found primarily in two geographic locations: the Italian island of Elba and Manitoba Canada. This element is used in brain tumor treatments. Which element is being described?



The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.



So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 10 Louis Hart, Compunetics

- Dave, this victory is the capstone, the gilding on my career...end of this month I'm officially retiring. Clumpy and Kloumpios help will be welcome in clearing out the office. Not sure if I will stick on TechNet or not...it's been a big part of my life for most of the past 20 years but I may go on to do something completely different.



Week 11 Tom Carroll, Boeing

- Sorry for the late reply but I was busy showing Clumpy how to perform an FAA Test Setup Conformity for an explosive atmosphere test and then Clumpy started to tell me about the new dimensional transport system attached to his John Deere tractor. Clumpy said explosive atmospheres were the least of their problems during development this new technology. I can report that everything is working well with the new transport system. Clumpy arrived with a "Poof" in my backyard and he immediately started fishing off my back deck, explaining that the new transport system makes him very hungry whenever he uses it. Clumpy says that he hopes Kloumpios is having a good time with Scott Decker, wherever he is, and that he hopes to stick around here for a while since he likes watching new technology being tested.



Week 11 Scott Decker, UTAS

-   Sorry for the delay also. I was in a global even for our company and

also working with Clumpy and Kloumpios to keep them working on the board designs I was doing before the event so I could stay in the event. It’s never a dull moment in our company and as it turns out, I still needed to help them out, but they did get me through until today, Friday so it was still all worth it! J It’s pretty amazing that they can adapt to so many jobs that they get sent to, I wish I could do everything as well as they do, I could be a star! However, that said, I try to under achieve since that keeps me out of the lime light and not the spot light or cross hairs… :-/



Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly

- The boys can help me to compare a reverse-engineered old multilayer layout against the x-rays from the original (no data, no schematics, no gerbers at all available, but the urgent need for some spare units....), can coil some dozens RF toroids and last, but not least (if they aren't allergic against

cats) can entertain our tomcats* (who are not amused at the ugly wet wet thaw here...). I've heard Clumpy and Kloumpios can meanwhile apparate and disapparate like Harry Potter, thus there is no need to pick them up from the next airport (would be MUC)?



Week 13 No Quiz, the boys were helping Doug Pauls, Rockwell Collins, with his IPC Hall of Fame Award



Week 14 ????

- assisted with ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week!
