This demonstration video highlights some of technical aspects of Fortress’s Stealth Pipeline Metal Detectors. These advanced systems are meticulously engineered for ultra-precise detection in pumped applications and can be fitted with options such as: ✅ HALO automatic self testing to replace regular intrusive testing with test balls ✅ Test ball insertion and retrieval ports ✅ PLC input to activate CIP function and deactivate reject operation for pigging ✅ Reject confirmation sensor with visual indicator And all Stealth detectors are supplied with CONTACT data management software for digital record keeping to enhance compliance

APT41, a China-based nation state threat actor known for its campaigns in Southeast Asian countries, has recently been observed deploying an advanced and upgraded version of StealthVector. We have named this new variant DodgeBox. DodgeBox incorporates various evasive techniques such as call stack spoofing, DLL sideloading, DLL hollowing and environmental guardrails. These techniques work together to significantly decrease the chances of detection by security defenses.

First rule of Rat Club is you don't talk about Rat Club! It's not the most popular topic or the nicest - but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about: Rodents are a health issue for many reasons, but there's good news. You don't need rifles, poisons or clubs to help solve the issue, EverSmart Rodent is an Integrated Pest Management solution that is not only cruelty-free but 100% environmentally friendly. Learn how by following the post below #iotasitshouldbe #smarterbuildings #microshare Fun Rat Facts: - Rat teeth grow at a rate of up to 1mm per day - Rats need to constantly gnaw to keep their teeth filed down  - A group of rats is called a “mischief.”  - Rats were one of the first animals sent to space.  - Ratatouille is a French Provençal dish of stewed vegetables that originated in Nice 🤣

The war against rats, 1924, involved a whole lot of violence: Snap traps, a lot of poison, and people armed rifles and billy clubs. Fast forward a century, and we're finally winning. Technology not only tracks their activity, but helps us predict it so we know when and how to intervene. Why go to war with a bolt-action rifle when 21st Century technology does it better? EverSmart Rodent is the weaponized drone of our age. (Photo: Library of Congress) Read the eBook: https://lnkd.in/gC5Rm6UM

A pragmatic product approach sometimes requires us to do absolutely useless things to satisfy the requirements of the people who pay the bills, to achieve a successful product launch/feature launch. Here's a short version of the story of how it happened the world's most successful firearm, the AR15 (and its successors): The US Army sought to purchase about 85,000 rifles, to fill a gap until it developed their own version of whatever suited their needs (spoiler alert, that never ended up happening). At the same time, Colt had the AR15 (the 15th model of Armalite Rifle) available, and already tested at a limited quantity of 8,500 by the US Air Force. The army absolutely insisted the rifle should "a forward assist to help push the bolt into battery in the event that a cartridge failed to seat into the chamber". To put it plainly, they wanted a feature that they had on a bolt rifle, on a completely different design. It made the rifle more expensive, it added more complication, and it did nothing to help resolve any jams in the rifle. It was however, in retrospect, a very early version of a "fidget device", in that it was a useless button you could press on your rifle (and we all did it!). Colt added it regardless, that sealed the deal and the rest is history, the M16 replaced the M14 as the primary rifle of the US Army, and then the rest of the branches of service. It was mass-produced by other companies as well, once the patent expired, and went on to success in the US private market. So, from 1964, to TODAY (!) all the M16/M4 variants have this forward assist. To explain from my personal point of view - this feature pushes the bolt forward (as is its name), when in fact, the way to resolve any jam is to eject the cartridge, clear the obstruction and proceed, so you pull the bolt backwards to do this! The opposite of what a forward assist does, which in fact can only exacerbate the problem. Finally, only around 2023, with the new version of the US battle rifle (the SIG XM7) "SIG...removed the forward assist from production versions of the XM7 to reduce the weight of an unneeded feature" 60 years for a feature that almost no one used or needed, that added cost, weight, complexity for everyone. Would it be possible to have the US Army adopt the M16 without this feature, as the Air Force initially did? We'll never know. Was it a worthwhile price for Colt to pay at the time to help make M16 the most popular 5.56x45 caliber rifle in the world? Seems so. Pragmatic, not dogmatic. Being a product manager, or an entrepreneur, you have to get used to these things, to not having your way, in order to attain a higher goal.

Muzzle brakes are one way that shooters can reduce recoil and improve overall shooting performance. But do you know how muzzle brakes work? Learn more about how they work and the physics of recoil reduction: http://ms.spr.ly/6047YuytF

#quantisedinertia predicts that systems with high accelerations (eg capacitors, superconductors) see Unruh waves short enough to be interfered w/ by metal plates & the inhomogeneity in the Unruh field causes a propellant-less & game changing thrust (longer-lived, stealth sats & interstellar probes).

When hit with microwave radiation, it bends the wave around itself, rendering it almost invisible - a feat enabled by metamaterials, which are defined by their structure rather than their chemical makeup. https://buff.ly/3QpIBkW Scientists are manipulating these structures to control electromagnetic waves, creating groundbreaking possibilities. We could have invisible aircraft, super lenses able to focus beyond light diffraction limits, and perhaps an invisibility cloak.
