Accurate assessments of military and defense assets, especially ballistics, are crucial for battlefield success. Advanced CT X-ray nondestructive testing (NDT) and robotic systems integration have revolutionized inspections, enhancing quality control and safety.

Quality training is crucial for success in rapidly evolving industries like additive manufacturing, welding, and nondestructive testing.

This electronically commutated motor (ECM) is an efficient, pre-programmed, dual-voltage, dual-rotation motor.

Nothing lasts forever. This old adage holds true, especially when it comes to HVAC coils.

While not often addressed, the air handler in an HVAC system has a significant role to play.

These products cover a wide variety of refrigerants as well as residential a/c and refrigeration applications.

As AI technology continues to advance and becomes nearly indistinguishable from a human representative, HVAC companies can use these tools to help streamline the workloads of CSRs.

The speedway’s original HVAC equipment, installed nearly 30 years ago, was outdated, and with one HVAC unit per suite, the cost to run and maintain the equipment was significant.

Increased cooling capacities, remote monitoring technology, and the need for backup units are all part of the mix in the portable a/c market, experts say.

Cooling towers offer a proven and cost-effective solution for rejecting heat from condenser water and industrial processes. To maximize the operating cost savings, the fill media must be properly designed and in good condition.

The cooling towers located on the roof of Granite Tower in Denver were meant to last 20 years. But at nearly 40 years, the cooling towers and fluid coolers were well past their life expectancy.

The Internet of Things is a broad term with multiple definitions, likely stemming from the different sectors of technology that IoT impacts.

The USD is moving higher.

• The EURUSD is against the 2024 low at 1.0600.
• The USDJPY is trading to new highs and has entered into a swing area between 154.54 in 155.09. The high price last week reached 154.704 and is the next upside target.

For the GBPUSD it is trading to new lows and moving away from it's broken 200 day moving average at 1.28178 broken earlier today. A new low is being made as I type at 1.27347.

That low is just above the 61.8% retracement of the move up from the April 2024 low at 1.27322. Break below that retracement level and traders will be looking toward a swing area between 1.2665 and 1.2685 as seller add to their run to the downside.

If buyers lean against the retracement level and move higher, getting back above 1.2777 is needed for the buyers to have some comfort for more upside probing. Absent that and the sellers are more in control.

Ultimately, a move back above the 200-day moving average at 1.28178 is needed to scare the sellers into buying.

Sellers are pushing, but the 61.8% retracement is now in the way and being tested. Will profit takers enter here against the risk defining level or will the sellers make another push to the downside?
