A premium quality micro compass, with thermometer and key ring, for town or country navigation. The Suunto Micro Compass series comprises three models (Clipper, Comet and Gem) all of which feature a liquid filled capsule and rotating dial. An invaluable navigational tool in town or country, their handy on-off clip enables the compass to be attached easily to a variety of surfaces, for example map edges, watch bands and bag straps. A Suunto Micro Compass, customized with a company logo, makes an ideal and practical business gift.

Hailing from Suunto's Micro series, the Comet micro compass includes a key ring attachment that can be clipped to a watch band or hand strap, making it an invaluable navigational tool for on-the-go users. The Comet can even serve as a key ring in a pinch. More importantly, the compass's liquid-filled capsule, jewel bearing, and rotating dial are accurate and precise whether you're navigating on city streets or country roads. As a bonus, the compass comes with a built-in thermometer that tells you the current temperature, along with a wind chill chart for gauging just how cold it is on stormy afternoons. Finally, the Comet--which measures a mere 1 by 3.1 inches (W x L)--takes up virtually no space in your pocket. So go small without sacrificing accuracy with the Comet.

WELL !, what can we say to this man, except THANK YOU ! What an awesome company this great man created. Ford is the most successful and Respected American Car Company in the world today. They have succeeded, when others have failed due to their Management Staff and all the dedicated workers that help build reliable automobiles. Especially impressed with all their recent improvements and their goal towards Continuous Process Improvements and their associated techniques. I'm just simply impressed beyond what I can express in words.

GM (now Goverment Motors), shame on you for what you've done to us tax payers and this country. How the USA Government came to the conclusion to rescue this place is beyond me. We have no respect for the results of poor management as well as the poor quality of automobiles you've produced. They have ended up in the shop far too many times. I know this by personal experience.

Chrysler, now Fiat, has also failed as a respected American Automobile Company. However, I don't hold any bad feelings towards them. I simply don't choose to buy them or respect the company and what they have ended up equating to.

The above statements are based on my personal experience and knowledge and are therefore my own words as a successful business man that dedicated myself to Ford, especially the Mustang. A huge Thank You to all those Ford Employee's that make life more exciting and safe at the same time. AWESOME JOB ! There's another thing hed'be proud of:; ENERGY-EFFICIENT ENGINE TECHNOLOGY WINS FORD TEAM NATIONAL INVENTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD. The application of the Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) wear-resistant, low-friction coating to a Ford ZETEC 1.4-liter VCT engine.

SUMMARY:
The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation is honoring the inventors of the Ford-patented Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) technology used to apply coatings on engine cylinder bores with the 2009 National Inventor of the Year Award
Ford’s PTWA thermal spray coating process for aluminum engine blocks replaces heavy cast iron liners which improves an engine’s fuel efficiency by reducing engine weight and internal piston friction losses
Ford has 95 issued and pending patents related to the new PTWA coating technology and will introduce it on its North American powertrain lineup within the next year

CONTEXT / BACKGROUND:
An aluminum engine block offers a substantial weight savings to a vehicle, making it an attractive option for automakers looking for ways to reduce curb weight, and in turn, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. However, most aluminum engines require heavy cast iron liners because of aluminum’s low wear resistance, somewhat offsetting the block’s initial leaner weight.
A Ford-patented thermal spray coating process for cylinder bores replaces these heavy liners with a low-friction, wear-resistant coating that makes the engine lighter and more efficient. This technology has the potential to reduce vehicle weight, increase fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, which are all key elements of Ford’s plan to deliver more sustainable solutions that can be applied to millions of cars and trucks in the near term.

DETAILS:
The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation’s 36-year-old National Inventor of the Year Award program recognizes individuals that epitomize American traditions of technological leadership, and increases public awareness of current inventors and how they benefit the nation’s economy and our quality of life.
The 2009 Inventor of the Year award goes to Ford and Flame-Spray Industries for the collaborative development of the spray apparatus for use with Ford’s patented production-ready Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) thermal spray coating process for aluminum engine blocks.
This accomplishment puts Ford and Flame-Spray Industries in elite company with medical and pharmaceutical powerhouses as well as agricultural and chemical standouts, among others. Past Inventors of the Year, for example, include Dr. Raymond Damadian of Fonar Corporation for the development of Upright MRI technology and Dr. Ihor Lys of Philips Solid-State Lighting Solutions for his development of a more efficient LED lighting system.
The team of inventors being honored at the National Inventor of the Year Award ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 28 is Ford retiree James Baughman and Dr. David Cook, Keith Kowalsky and Daniel Marantz of supplier Flame-Spray Industries. Cook was a member of the Ford team when the spray device initially was developed.
How it Works
The Ford-patented PTWA thermal spray technology for cylinder bores replaces the heavy cast iron liners typically required with aluminum block engines with a low-friction, wear-resistant thermal spray coating. The plasma-sprayed coating offers several advantages, including:
Engine weight reductions – the coating can reduce the weight of a V-6 engine, for instance, by approximately six pounds
Reduced friction between the piston rings an

Every Audiophile knows that a source of clean, regulated power is essential for great sound. The standard wall-wart power supply included with your Firestone Audio component is a capable unit and will satisfy the needs of many listeners. The "SUPPLIER" upgrade on the other hand is a highly regulated, linear power supply capable of delivering Audiophile grade power to your Firestone Audio headphone amps and DACs. This is the clean power you need to follow the dynamic swings and crescendos in the music for a noticeable improvement in sound quality. Electronics that are "power challenged" sound thin or flat at frequency extremes and don't have the oomph to follow the peaks and large dynamic swings in the music. This is particularly noticeable at higher frequencies and when driving some of the more difficult headphones.
