Klarm Prototyping

Olean, New York, USA (PRWEB) September 06, 2014

The ISO9001:2008 and AS9100C certified Napoleon Engineering Services (NES) (http://www.nesbearings.com) right now announced that it will be showcasing its custom bearing manufacturing, bearing testing, bearing inspection and bearing test rig manufacturing capabilities at the forthcoming International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2014), September 8-13 in Chicago, Illinois.

&#13

Held as soon as every two years at McCormick Place, IMTS is one particular of the world’s largest industrial tradeshows, covering bearings, motors, drives, machine tools, controls, computer systems, application, elements, systems and processes. Historically, the show has attracted 1,900 exclusive exhibitors and one hundred,000 guests from around the globe. NES representatives at Booth E-5803 will be obtainable throughout IMTS 2014 to discuss the company’s newest bearing item and service offerings, such as:

&#13

Custom Bearing Manufacturing:&#13

NES designs and manufactures high-precision custom ball and roller bearings utilizing superelastic Ni-Ti alloys wear-resistant, higher-life materials and coatings and advanced design and style technologies, in each modest and huge quantities, with competitive lead occasions. Key specialty locations of NES custom bearing manufacturing incorporate:

&#13

&gt Active magnetic backup bearings for active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems. Here, the custom bearings serve as a higher-reliability secondary failsafe program for a principal AMB inside energy generation, petroleum refining, machine tooling, organic gas pipeline, and essential industrial applications. When making use of AMB to help a rotating shaft, any reduction or loss of power could cause the shaft to drop. With an AMB back-up bearing technique, the shaft will drop .002” to .003” onto the back-up bearing technique itself, permitting it to coast to a cease without having causing damage to the shaft or surrounding machinery.

&#13

With offered sizes from 1” to 14” OD, NES AMB back-up bearings incorporate wear-resistant materials, conventional or dry film lubricants, and a variety of cage and internal design and style qualities. All of these combine to assist handle the safe coast down of the rotating shaft. Depending upon application loads, full ball complement or caged bearing designs are specified. Some applications demand much more extreme design and style considerations, like unique heat treatment processes, yielding very stable components with extremely low residual tension. Other requirements let for hugely modified common bearings with very brief consumer lead occasions.

&#13

&gt Aerospace custom bearing manufacturing – Aerospace bearing manufacturing usually demands the use of superior top quality raw materials the incorporation of in depth design and project review processes and help for any necessary material or approach traceability. To meet these demands, NES gives complete design, development and manufacturing of custom high-precision aerospace ball and roller bearings, as well as custom bearing modification. The manufacturing approach contains close collaboration with an aerospace OEM’s personal in-house engineering team, with full project management help from initial concept thru to final delivery. Standard specifications variety from all stainless steel complete complement bearings to M50 lengthy life angular contact ball bearings to superelastic Ni-Ti alloy styles which incorporate put on and corrosion-resistant, high-life supplies and coatings. Supported applications contain satellite and UAV and satellite arm actuation, antennas, fuel pumps, ram air turbines, transmission systems, turbine engines, and rocket engine valves. Expedited lead times are available upon request.

&#13

&gt Corrosion resistant ceramic hybrid bearings – Common bearings that are specified for oscillating applications are prone to concentrated, magnified and accelerated put on on bearing rolling components and raceways, since the oscillatory motion isolates bearing pressure into localized areas and creates lubricant trapping. For higher speed and oscillatory applications, NES manufactures a variety of ceramic hybrid bearing sizes and types, incorporating specialty materials and coatings.

&#13

NES custom ceramic hybrid bearings incorporate a silicon nitride material for reduced weight. This reduces the applied loads brought on by centrifugal forces, with higher stiffness and reduced frictional characteristics. The material also reduces heat generation and decreases operating temperatures. Silicon nitride bearings have superb corrosion resistance for extended life. They also supply a decrease thermal expansion coefficient, as compared to steel, for decreased thermal gradient effects across the bearing. For reliable operation inside very acidic environments, these corrosion-resistant bearings can run efficiently in marginally lubricated applications at both higher and low speeds, generating them appropriate for demanding manufacturing and vacuum method environments, as properly as for use inside corrosive saltwater and wash-down applications.

&#13

Bearing Modification:&#13

NES also provides custom OEM bearing modifications to aid meet certain application specifications. Bearing modification can be a time and cost savings option for a lot of OEM’s. Some of the far more common modifications supported by NES consist of re-greasing, preload and endplay grinding, radial clearance alterations, tapered roller bearing spacers, anti-rotation slots, oil holes and grooves, and tapered bore grinding.

&#13

Bearing Test Rig Manufacturing:&#13

NES custom bearing test rigs assistance OEM aerospace, automotive, off-highway and industrial automation R&ampD requirements. The in-property capability for an OEM to execute its own rigorous bearing testing, through the use of its own rig, can reduce time-to-industry and lead to new advancements in the OEM’s own mechanical bearing elements and completed product technologies. NES can design and manufacture custom rigs for the testing of any sized ball or roller bearing, like four-ball and NASA five-ball rolling element testing. NES’s own in-residence testing programs concentrate on three primary aspects of testing life (dynamic), environmental, and influence/static testing. This expertise is carried over into the design and style and improvement of the customer’s own robust bearing test rigs.

&#13

Customers can choose from a assortment of test platforms and manage alternatives, in help of classical, sudden death, or maximum likelihood bearing test methodologies. NES engineers are offered to evaluate customer intentions for bearing testing and to create a 3D model and manage selection proposal for consumer review of a prototype.

&#13

Bearing test rigs can be constructed to test for any quantity of parameters, including bearing or lubrication efficiency, rolling get in touch with fatigue, environmental situations, application reliability, or supplier comparison. They can also be designed with manual controls for continual operating parameters or with complete automation for step-pressure duty-cycle testing. Frequent monitoring and handle attributes contain bearing vibration, temperature, torque, rotational speed, applied load (axial, radial or moment), lubricant flow price, oil inlet temperature, and thermal operating conditions. Test platforms can be made with as several as eight test places to maximize sampling rates and statistical accuracy, whilst nevertheless minimizing test time and overall spending budget.

&#13

Bearing Inspection and Bearing Testing Services:&#13

In addition to the aforementioned capabilities, the Olean, New York-primarily based NES is also property to North America’s largest independent bearing inspection and bearing testing facility. This includes over 40 bearing test rigs. In-laboratory capabilities include bearing failure evaluation and metallurgical testing bearing stress evaluation, such as supply qualification inspection (SQI) environmental testing RCF and dynamic life cycle testing influence and static load testing initial report inspection, per AS9102 and the reverse engineering of aircraft bearings for PMA-FAA Certification requirements.

CNET News Security & Privacy Four security trends defined 2012, will impact 2013

Four security trends defined 2012, will impact 2013
Mobile and Mac malware burbles noxiously, data breaches and data mining will cause more havoc with your privacy, and the Web will continue to suffer the ignominy of poorly-written, Swiss-cheesed code as security experts predict lessons from 2012 go unlearned in 2013.

The Internet is slowly changing, and security experts say that today’s security issues will continue to be major players in driving that change. Here are four trends that dominated headlines in 2012, and will continue to play a major role in 2013.

—– The Internet as governmental tool

The collective realization by governments around the world that the Internet is an excellent network for conducting surveillance, monitoring, espionage, and war, says Finnish computer security firm F-Secure’s Chief Technical Officer Mikko Hypponen, may not come to full fruition in 2013. But the foundation for that change is already underway.

"There will be more operations along the lines of Olympic Games, also from other sources than US and Israel. Later on, we might look back at these first 20 years of the Web as the Golden Days, when the net was still free," he wrote in an e-mail to CNET. "Olympic Games" is the covert inter-govenrment project that birthed Stuxnet, Duqu, and Flame.

Information security expert Chris Wysopal agreed that "cyber-warfare" is becoming commonplace. "When there’s a political or actual war event, we’re seeing cyber-attacks parallel that. It does seem to be more pronounced. It’s almost not newsworthy, as if we expect it to happen alongside a political event."

Take that in for a moment. Government-sponsored, computer-based attacks, as "almost not newsworthy," he said.

But just because these attacks are becoming more frequent doesn’t mean that they don’t stymie security researchers. Tomer Teller, a security evangelist and researcher at Check Point, said that he was surprised this year by the rise of "precision-targeted attacks."

"We saw that with Gauss this year, from the Stuxnet family. It had an encrypted payload, and researchers couldn’t decrypt it."

Tim Rains, the director of Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing division, pointed out that these governmental actions have consequences beyond the nuclear reactors of Iran and other industrial targets.

"Eighty-five percent of the exploits against operating systems tried to take advantage of one of the vulnerabilities that Stuxnet used. A very small fraction of malware uses "zero-days," so we’re seeing commodity malware writers benefits from the research of professionals," he said. "It was a trend in 2012, and we’ll continue to see that in the next year."

—– More mobile devices, bigger targets

Experts have been talking up mobile security for several years now, and as mobile device proliferation continues, so will the security problems associated with them. Because of their very mobile, always-connected nature, experts told me that the problems will become more complex in 2013.

Lookout Mobile Security’s senior product manager, Derek Halliday, noted two interesting trends that his company saw in 2012. Lookout predicted and saw in 2012, "only a few dominant kinds of mobile malware," he said.

Microsoft’s Rains agreed. "[The Looter exploit] is responsible for the second-most highest number of mobile threats we saw."

Halliday added, "The other thing was how geographic specific these threats were. We were surprised by the stark contrast between the U.S. and say Russia or China. If you try to run a toll fraud application at scale in the U.S., you’ll encounter some problems — a double-opt in message, government intervention," he said.

Another point Halliday made was that while Android 4.2 is the most secure yet, with numerous security improvements, operating system fragmentation will prevent it from reaching most people until late 2013.

.

On the other hand, said Wysopal, the impact of mobile malware is definitely growing. "In 2012, half a percent of all mobile users got hurt by mobile malware in the U.S. That’s a million people, not an insignificant number. It’s a trend that is happening slower than expected, but it’s not going to go away."
The malware problem is likely to remain isolated from Apple’s iOS, according to Hypponen. "There’s still no iPhone malware. Five years after shipping one of the most popular systems, they have no malware problem at all. That’s a major accomplishment by Apple. Job well done."

—– Desktop threat, still a threat

Mobile is booming, with Android devices outselling Windows computers in Q3 2012, but that doesn’t mean that we’ll see a downturn in desktop-focused attacks.

One story that Hypponen says was underreported in 2012 was the rootkit known as ZeroAccess. "Zero Access is almost totally under the radar, yet it’s a massive, massive outbreak. It’s almost as big in size as Conficker, which was headline material for weeks. [Zero Access] is a commercial kit, being developed and sold by a Russian coder. [It] installs itself to the [master boot record] so it boots before Windows.

While Hypponen noted that Windows 8 and Macs use UEFI to create secure boot procedures that prevent rootkits like Zero Access, Microsoft’s Rains cautioned that eventually, and possibly in the coming year, this will force rootkits to evolve.

………………………..
.

Mac malware got a lot of attention in the second half of 2011 and in 2012 with Flashback, and that’s expected to continue. Hypponen said, "The author of the Flashback Trojan is still at large and is rumored to be working on something else. And while there have been smart security changes to the Mac OS," likely alluding to Mountain Lion’s Gatekeeper, "there’s a segment of the Mac-using population who are basically oblivious to the threats facing Macs, making them vulnerable to a new malware outbreak."
And across platforms, browsers remain a broad surface to attack despite ongoing improvements.

Jeremiah Grossman of WhiteHat Security said that new exploits and vulnerabilities, such as CSS sniffing attacks, will continue to cause turmoil in the most popular kind of desktop program. "Let’s say you just downloaded Chrome or Firefox. If I can get you to click somewhere on the screen, I can get you. These browsers are not really secure, it’s death by 1,000 cuts." we have 15 years of broken, faulty web code, we have a lot of garbage websites out there that are protecting a lot of interesting data.

—– Privacy and data breaches

One of the big notables in information security over the past year was the rise of awareness in data mining. Brought on by numerous privacy policy changes to high-profile social networks like Facebook, Google, and Instagram, by fast and loose trendy mobile app policies, and by shockingly large data breaches at companies that just can’t be bothered investing in better database protection, privacy is becoming a key security topic.

.

…………………………..
.

Lookout’s Halliday said that he expects privacy to be a hot topic in the coming year. Not only has the California attorney general been pushing for companies to take a stance more favorable to consumers before the government is forced to step in, he said, but consumers are more aware in general.

"Devices are collecting not just location information, but contacts and your historical record of talking to them. We’d be more than happy if there was significant progress towards [better privacy] as a goal," he said.

WhiteHat Security’s Grossman pointed out that it’s not just malware writers who are using exploits. Difficult to detect until recently, "CSS sniffing was being done data aggregators," he said.

—– Holistic security

One trend that’s impossible to deny is that these security problems may start in discretely different realms, but the nature of the Internet is making them more intertwined than ever before. Malware-writing techniques pioneered for Stuxnet inspire consumer-targeted malware writers, who in turn are forced to develop new social engineering techniques as app stores, browsers, and Web site owners play Whac-a-Mole with vulnerabilities.

And issues like the potential for exploiting devices connected directly to the Internet, like smart TVs and DVD players; more creative, harder to stop social engineering; the commercialized selling of all manner of exploits; and utility and medical device hacks are expected to grow in impact.

As much as we don’t want to admit it, security is becoming an issue of ongoing education. 2013 would be a good year to get going on that.

The best-selling novel by Michael Crichton was faithfully adapted for this taut 1971 thriller, about a team of scientists(Arthur Hill, David Wayne, James Olson, Kate Reid and Paula Kelly) racing against time to destroy a deadly alien virus that threatens to wipe out life on Earth. As usual with any Crichton-based movie, the emphasis is on an exciting clash between nature and science, beginning when virologists discover the outer-space virus in a tiny town full of corpses. Projecting total contamination, the scientists isolate the deadly strain in a massive, high-tech underground lab facility, which is rigged for nuclear destruction if the virus is not successfully controlled.

The movie spends a great deal of time covering the scientific procedures of the high-pressure investigation, and the rising tensions between scientists who have been forced to work in claustrophobic conditions. It’s all very fascinating if you’re interested in scientific method and technological advances but it’s more effective as a thriller in which tension is derived not only from the deadly threat of the virus, but from the escalating fear and anxiety among the small group of people who’ve been assigned to save the human race.

The basic premise is still captivating; it’s easy to see how this became the foundation of Crichton’s science-thriller empire.

More than two thirds of us now use smartphones to make payments and check bank balances online.

Many banking apps have a number of security measures in place – from two-step authentication to passwords and PINs – but they may not be as secure as first thought.

A mobile security expert has revealed to MailOnline how these apps can be hijacked using free tools available online – and the hackers don’t need any of the user’s login details.

Winston Bond is technical manager at mobile security firm Arxan Technologies.

To highlight the risks, he developed a dummy banking app before engineering it to connect it to an external server that could be run by a hacker.

During a demonstration, as he signed into the app, the password was automatically revealed on the hacker’s server.

During another demo, he sent money via the app.

The server was able to piggyback onto the payment and even transfer money to the hacker’s account at the same time.

Although this was a dummy demonstration, Bond explained it is the same process hackers are using to access official banking apps on mobile devices.

The hacking technique used is called reverse engineering.

Reverse engineering is not just used for hacking purposes, and is often a technique programmers use to find mistakes or errors in code in order to fix them.

In the case of apps, software reverse engineering involves translating the program’s binary code back into the source code it was originally written in.
.
….

— WHAT IS REVERSE ENGINEERING?

… Reverse engineering is the process of taking an object apart to see how it works, either to replicate or improve the object.

… It is not just used for hacking purposes, and is often used by programmers to find mistakes or errors in code in order to fix them.

… In the case of apps, software reverse engineering involves translating a program’s binary code back into the source code that it was written in.

… This source code reveals to the hackers how the app works, the steps it takes to complete certain tasks and details about the app’s structure.

… A reverse engineer can use a various tools to disassemble a program.

… One example is called a hexadecimal dumper, which prints or displays the binary numbers of a program in hexadecimal format, making it easier to read than binary.

… Another tool is a disassembler. This reads the binary code and displays each instruction in text form.

….
.

This source code reveals to the hackers how the app works, the steps it takes to complete certain tasks, and details about the app’s structure.

Hackers are able to manipulate this source code by adding in lines that connect the app to an external server, for example, or code that tells the app to reveal the password each time it’s entered.

More complicated code is used to create a rule, for example, that means every time a payment is sent, the same amount is sent to the hackers account.

Accomplished hackers can also edit the code to hide these changes from the program, so the software assumes everything is working as it should.

Once the changes are made, the edited code is uploaded back onto the company’s server.

And, as Winston Bond explained, all of these steps can be carried out using tools freely available online.

There are even online video tutorials that show programmers, as well as a hackers, how to access the source code of software.

He did point out that iOS apps and software are more secure and closely monitored than Android, for example – except on jailbroken devices.

‘Jailbreaking’ is the process of removing certain restrictions Apple places on apps and downloads, for example, and makes it easier for developers to adjust settings.

Reverse engineering is the process of taking an object apart to see how it works. It is not just used for hacking purposes, and is often used by programmers to find mistakes or errors in code. Software reverse engineering involves translating a program’s binary code, stock image, back into the source code it was written in

……………………..
.

In many of the cases where banking apps are hacked, Bond continued the attack only works when a user downloads a separate, malicious app.

The demonstration was created after an Arxan study found hackers attacked 78 per cent of the top 100 paid Android and iOS apps last year.
.
…..

— HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF?

… Many apps are now using additional software, including those developed by Arxan Technologies to prevent hackers from reverse engineering their products.

… However, firms do not reveal if they are protected by such services so users are advised to only download apps from official app stores.

… People should keep an eye on bank statements and report any irregularities.

… They should also check in the phone’s settings for any unusual looking processes running in the background.

… If any look suspicious, users can search online for the names of processes to see what they do.

… Experts also suggest installing antivirus apps on mobile devices.

…..
.

It revealed there were hacked versions of 100 per cent of the top 100 paid apps for Android, and 56 per cent of the top 100 paid apps for iOS.

Last year, Arxan found attackers modified 80 per cent of free Android apps, and this year, this was down to 73 per cent in the same category.

On iOS devices, 40 per cent were hacked last year, compared to 53 per cent this year.

The research unveiled cracked versions of popular financial apps to be at 53 per cent for Android, and 23 per cent were Apple iOS hacked variants.

2nd ID Warriors form ‘living insignia’ for 2nd time in division history

By Master Sgt. Michael Pintagro
2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs

Around 5,000 Warriors from the 2nd Infantry Division created a human version of the division’s distinctive Indianhead patch for only the second time in an organizational history dating from Globe War I Thursday morning (May possibly 21) at Indianhead Stage Field on Camp Casey, Korea.

A steady drizzle that persisted throughout the occasion may have dampened the Warriors’ wet climate gear and dress uniforms but it didn’t dampen the Soldiers’ resolve to take part in an historic event.

Organizers placed the initial human elements of the division patch around six a.m. and continued to develop the insignia throughout the early morning, adding Warriors to the huge formation as they marched onto the field as firms, platoons and detachments. Various dress uniforms replicated the insignia color scheme.

The insignia was constructed from the middle out, with the most intricate portions of the pattern established initial and the masses of Soldiers replicating the exterior placed final.

The division’s commanding basic, command sergeant key and senior staff stood at the base of the insignia. About 9:25 the assembled Warriors looked up and a tiny army of division photographers – several mounted 35 feet high in mechanical “cherry pickers” – commenced snapping shots.

Maj. Gen. John W. Morgan III, the commanding basic, addressed his Soldiers following the second-of-its sort “photo op” in division history.

“Great job,” he told them. “You are component of history and part of the great 2nd Infantry Division. I’m proud of every and each and every one particular of you. Thank you for your service to the nation and to this wonderful division.”

Warriors of all ranks, roles and career fields from organizations and installations across the division’s footprint in Korea joined their leaders in the “patch.”

According to 2nd Lt. Michael Nuclo, the division engineer operations officer and a essential event organizer, leaders created a conscious effort to include all division units and ranks. “We’ll have Soldiers from every important division hub,” he said ahead of the occasion. “They’re coming from (camps) Hovey, Casey, Camp Red Cloud, Humphrey and K-16.”

Participants expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity to play a unique function in division history.

“When I very first got to Korea they took us to the 2nd ID Museum and showed us the original patch image and mentioned if we had been right here lengthy adequate we might get a likelihood to recreate it,” stated Pfc. Isaac Buckman of Company F, 333rd Target Acquisition Battery, 210th Fires Brigade. “I thought that was truly cool, and it is fantastic that I genuinely had an chance to do it.”

“This will go down in history and will always be remembered,” added Pvt. Jeremiah Heard of Battery E, 143rd Air Defense Artillery, 210th Fires Brigade. Other Soldiers, he predicted, “will really like it and they will wish they could do it just the exact same way that we did.”

Occasion organizers seemed equally inspired by their achievement and relieved it came off with out a hitch.

“This was a deliberate operation like everything else we do in this division,” said Lt. Col. Michael Anastasia, the division G-3 (operations officer) and the major figure in the planning and execution of the living insignia. “The occasion was meticulously planned and executed precisely according to that strategy.”

“Everything went extremely properly,” mentioned Lt. Col. Leroy Sharpe, the division engineer. “We knew it was going to rain and we planned for it. I’m glad it all came with each other so properly. It was an honor and privilege to be portion of history nowadays.”

“I believe it went quite well,” added Sgt. 1st Class Kyle Roberts, the NCOIC of the division engineer shop. “It feels fairly excellent to be component of an event like this that hopefully will last one more 84 years.”

The ceremony recreated an occasion carried out 84 years ago at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, which served as division headquarters for the duration of the period amongst the World Wars.

“It’s the initial time this has been accomplished considering that 1925,” said William M. Alexander, the 2nd ID museum director and division historian. Organizational pride, heritage and esprit de corps, the retired Army colonel added, motivated both “living insignia” ceremonies.

“Living insignia” formations, Alexander noted, “were broadly common during the ‘20s – that was probably the higher point of their reputation. Maj. Gen. Morgan had the vision to do this once more.”

Alexander mentioned he plans to show the new living insignia photo alongside the 1925 image in the museum foyer.

Event organizers confronted daunting engineering, mechanical and logistical challenges. Conducting a five,000-Soldier formation, with all its inherent transportation and scheduling troubles, represents a significant feat in itself. Occasion and unit leaders worked tirelessly to ensure consistency in uniform and precision in placement.

Division engineers faced a particularly daunting task: determining and implementing the appropriate configuration and dimensions. This required engineers to establish models projecting the most likely appearance of the Soldiers from a vantage point 35 feet higher and to the front of the formation, and arranging five,000 Warriors in accordance with that vision.

“We utilized computer models – there are mathematical equations we employed primarily based on the patch design and adjusting for the slope of the angle from 35 feet,” Nuclo mentioned.
“For all our technological positive aspects I’m not certain what we did was a lot distinct from what they did in 1925,” he added with a smile. “That was a generation of Americans that built a lot of amazing issues.”

Organizers and observers described the present as an excellent time for the division to recreate the insignia.

“Service on the Korean Peninsula is so crucial a component of the division’s heritage it is only acceptable they do this on the peninsula,” Alexander said. “The division suffered the highest number and proportion of casualties for the duration of the war and its members received the highest number of awards. More than half of the division’s service has been in Korea. It’s due to that Korean War legacy Gen. Douglas MacArthur stated, ‘No division I’ve ever commanded is greater than the 2nd ID.’”

“This is a time in the history of the division when the camaraderie and esprit de corps have by no means been larger,” Anastasia stated. “In my 21 years of service I’ve never ever been portion of an organization with such a spirit of brotherhood, so this was an excellent time to take the image.”

Nuclo drew an historical parallel among the generations of Warriors pictured in the previous and present living insignia photographs.

“The older guys in that image would have served in Planet War I, and most of the younger guys would serve later in World War II,” Nuclo said of the 1925 photo. “So you had a exclusive moment when most of the participants served in one particular of the two greatest wars of their era. Now our Soldiers are either on their way from or sooner or later going to Iraq or Afghanistan – the two wars of our era.”
