The 130th Engineer Brigade has a storied history from the time it was established in the U.S Army as the 1303rd Engineer General Service Regiment and activated on July 15, 1943 at Camp Ellis Illinois. The 130th played a pivotal role during WW II with campaigns in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe and the Asian-Pacific theatre. The regiment was deactivated in 1955 and elements of the 130th were allocated to the regular Army. For a short time the 130th Engineer…

newer battery technology on society. What are the benefits to society as well as any negative effects of the technology? Are there any safety issue to consider? In today’s society we are constantly using batteries. These batteries however have changed dramatically over the years, from when once created to now. But with the invention of newer and newer batteries there are bound to be explosions of benefits, but with benefits can come fault. One of the most noteworthy benefits with batteries…

Without LiPo (lithium-ion polymer) batteries, drone technology wouldn’t be possible. These special powerhouses produce more than double the charge of alkaline (AA, AAA, 9V) batteries, are much lighter than other rechargeables (6 times lighter than Lead-Acid batteries) and they don't need to be fully discharged before re-charging. LiPo batteries are also made of explosive and volatile chemicals. They need to be treated with caution. The LiPo batteries won’t bite — just as long as you adhere to…

simply a paragraph, but refers to the two aspects that the company wants to uphold to ensure that they can withstand the test of time and continue bringing about positive change to all the lives they touch individually and in communities. Interstate Battery System International,…

In managing a network problems with the network are to be expected and planned for when and where possible. Many of these plans created to deal with problems cover what to do if a part of the system is attacked or compromised along with what to do in the event of a natural disaster. This does not mean everything is covered as some problems are deem unlikely or a minor enough event that it should not be a problem to deal with. One potential problem that can find itself label in such a way are…

In the Bay Back Battery Simulation, I was tasked to use strategic innovation to earn profits for the division of the consumer electronics manufacturer. As the President of Back Bay Battery, Inc., I was responsible for distributing funds for two types of batteries produced by the firm. Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) accounted for 80% of revenue for the firm while Ultracapacitor batteries (UC) only made up 20% revenue (Christensen & Shih, 2012). The company primary products covered portable power…

account. In the article Energy Science, Engineering and Technology: Battery Manufacturing and Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, by Bill Canis, the process of obtaining lithium in order to make Li-ion batteries is described along with characteristics of desirable batteries. Canis an expert in Industrial Organization and Business explains that lead-acid batteries used to be the main types, but now metal-hydroxide and Li-ion batteries are being developed because they are much more efficient. He adds…

The components of the lithium ion batteries include a positive electrode made of metal oxide, negative electrode made of carbon (graphite), a separator made of a micro-porous polymer, and an organic electrolyte (ether) that is made up of dissolved ions of lithium. During recharge, the lithium ions travel from the positive metal oxide to the negatively charged graphite electrode. The reverse flow occurs during discharge (when the battery is in use) (Carnegie, 40; Divya and Østergaard, 513).…

Cadmium used in nickel-cadmium batteries is considered more harmful than lead if ingested. Workers at NiCd manufacturing plants in Japan have been experiencing health problems from prolonged exposure to the metal, and governments have banned disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries in landfills. The soft, whitish metal that occurs naturally in the soil can damage kidneys. Cadmium can be absorbed through the skin by touching a spilled battery. Since most NiCd batteries are sealed, there are no health…
