I recently started watching NASCAR and I was wondering how the drivers communicate with the pit.

headphonesSome of the professional writers on the net are at such a top level that i wonder if any of them have ever written a book? so every so often i like to highlight these exceptional articles and here is one i thought was remarkable the other day.

NASCAR drivers use a unique radio system that is built in to their crash helmets. These are occasionally customized to suit the individual wearer. In addition to this, there is a push-to-talk button (exactly like the one found on a walkie-talkie), which is situated in the steering wheel. A wiring harness connects the various components together and a separate battery operates the whole thing. The signal is broadcast via a whip antenna that is attached to the roof of the car. In this fashion, NASCAR drivers are able to communicate with pit crews.

In addition to this, most cars are outfitted with a spare Motorola two-way radio that is within easy reach of the driver.

A firm out of Atlanta, Georgia named ‘Racing Radios’ provides the vast majority of the radios used in NASCAR races. Racing Radios have provided equipment to NASCAR races for 30 years or so; they are a trusted firm, creating all the standard NASCAR radio technology and also providing custom radios/peripherals for individual drivers.

According to Racing Radios spokesperson Tony Cornacchia, the majority of NASCAR drivers prefer to buy their own specialized equipment from the firm.

Because so many teams are racing and so many people are working on the race overall, it is not uncommon for NASCAR events to feature 100 FCC licensed radio broadcasts at any given time.

Racing Radios is the company that programs the individual frequencies, not only for drivers and pit crews, but also for staff, officials and security personnel. RR do such a good job, that neither drivers nor pit crews suffer regularly from interference or dead spots. Now that’s something.

According to Terry Boyce of ‘HowStuffWorks’, “Many teams outfit their entire pit and support crews with custom-engineered, hand-built headphones and two-way radios ordered through Racing Radios. Multi-car teams may choose to connect even more people through their radio communications network. Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technology helps to cancel out distracting background noise. Exceptional communication is one of the reasons a 21st century NASCAR pit crew can change four tires and refuel a race car in around 13 seconds — and do it 10 or more times in a single race”.

Bluetooth’s Hidden Teeth

audioI am a retired electrician with 34 years understanding with electrical techniques, controls, and energy management expertise. For the last ten years of working with electrical methods I developed a love for Radio Accessory.

I hope you enjoy the piece*****
The wired earpiece is dead. Look around at any point in the day and if you see a wire going to someone’s ear, they are most likely listening to a sports related broadcast. I was a big fan of the wired earpiece; it certainly made calls while driving a lot easier.
Occasionally I would accidentally yank it out abruptly while changing gears, swatting bugs, or shaving. This would make a loud “pop” in the ear it was connected and suddenly I become disoriented, eyes on the road, hands reaching into cracks between the seats much like a senior scrambling for their Nitroglycerine pills at the first sign of panic.

I considered tangles and the occasional popped ear minor consequences for the convenience of driving my 5 speed SUV with both hands. Then came Bluetooth earpieces with the promise of crystal clear communication without a cord. The first earpieces to the market were primitive and often required me to speak quite loudly.
The individual I was talking to would often mention ambient noise. A few years after its introduction almost all phones had Bluetooth capabilities. My mom, who thinks putting my calls on speaker phone is necessary, loves her Bluetooth earpiece. Now she can have a conversation with someone on the other side of the house while eating dinner at the dining room table with the full use of both hands.

Only, she doesn’t use her hands to eat but rather as tools to emphasize her comments, much like a polished politician. It is a win win because her hands are free and I get to hear half of a conversation while I’m eating, but it is not like this happens everyday.
I only visit my parents once a week.
While in the grocery store, I’ve noticed far more people taking on their phone while shopping. I reminisce of my days as a food bagger at a major grocery chain and all the interesting people I would meet after midnight. The people who tended to think out loud would migrate to the grocery story in the early a.m.

hours. It was a lot like “the One Who Flew Over The Coo-Koo’s Nest”, only with more food. I recall asking a man if he wanted paper or plastic, only to be pulled aside and receive an explanation about how his oversized cowboy boots were full of semen. Enter the dilemma; it used to be easy to spot a mentally ill individual.
Time, experience, grandma or your mom warning you before you visit your grandma had taught you that certain traits should alert you that some individuals need their respective space even if it means trampling small children in an effort to give it to them. Fortunately as of this writing, it is rare for these individuals to obtain firearms, not because of restrictions or laws, but because they know if they give out their address or social security number big brother will finally be able to track them down.

There are the imposters who dwell at the red lights near the interstate asking for money, a ride or both. It’s easy to tell their “status” because the pro’s ask for five dollars knowing that you will have less difficulty parting with one dollar when asked for five.
That’s not crazy, that’s just clever marketing.
A few weeks ago I was visiting family in Miami when, after exiting the interstate, we stopped at a traffic light. An individual began shouting loud enough that his rambling could easily be heard over the radio, yet his words were completely incomprehensible.

I knew it was English because I heard the occasional preposition creep in. He spoke with the same passion, emotion and determination that a General would just prior to sending his troups into battle. He walked with an unnatural limp, not in an effort to be cool, but because he was most likely injured at some point; perhaps an accident involving a bottle of Mad Dog, a Greyhound and a severe need to urinate.
He’s not really talking to you but he’s not ignoring you either, again, much like a polished politician. After pacing back and forth for the third time with no signs of enlightenment or monetary interest, I turned to Lindsay and explained to her that “This guy is the real deal”.

Not all cases are as clear cut. I now see old bearded men in tee shirts, shorts, black socks and sandals marching down the sidewalk while talking out loud, but, what was once a clear cut case now has an ironic twist. He turns around and upon seeing the other side of his profile I discover his earpiece.
Instantly he has gone from barking lunatic to cuddly Grandpa. I don’t know if the earpiece is turned on, but the fact that it’s there gives “reasonable doubt” to the case on hand. I don’t know if we want these people to blend in, but if we did we should distribute the earpieces like free lottery tickets and tell them they “keep you from being tracked by big brother” and upon displaying it at the soup kitchen, entitles them to an extra ladle-full.

The dilemma has worsened. Last week I saw an advertisement for the hearing impaired and just plain nosy individuals who can purchase a hearing aid disguised as a Bluetooth earpiece.
website
The elderly lady must have said “Bingo!” five times in the commercial. The young gentleman overhears the ladies across the room commenting on “how cute he is”. The hunter tracks the deer via his enhanced hearing. The product is advertized as though you will become more lucky, attractive and efficient via the use of this earpiece.

Here’s a tip, if a guy is wearing an earpiece that looks like a homemade prop from a star trek convention, he probably doesn’t need to concern himself with whether women think he’s good looking. And if you take this thing hunting because you feel it gives you an edge on the competition, you deserve a hunting partner like Dick Cheney.

Perhaps earpieces are the next stage in a judgment free society. We can no longer assess whether someone is half-deaf, a stalker, barking lunatic or just calling home to check on their family. We have sacrificed a slice of instincts for a second helping of convenience in an effort to satisfy the hunger for expediency.

Regardless of whether we lower our guard or keep a safe distance, it is an extension of our paradigm of society. If we feel something / someone is a threat we react accordingly. Given the advent of earpieces, perhaps it is best that we resort to our primitive intuition.
Personally, if someone smells like B.O., (earpiece or not) I try to maintain enough space to get a running start (This rule does not apply in European countries).

Important Things To Consider Before Buying Heavy Equipment At Auction

Boy. The newest earpiece is breathtaking. I mean it’s just so beautiful so advanced. I pity people who grew up without the earpiece.

Heavy equipment is very expensive if you purchase it in brand new condition.

This is the reason that most people prefer buying heavy equipment. You must however be careful about certain things even while you are buying heavy equipment at auction.
Age: Age of the equipment is easily the most important thing you must consider. Age must not only be considered in calendar years but also in the terms of usage units. Usage units are counted in hours of usage. As the machinery is used, its parts tend to wear.

This may be fast wear and tear in case of belts and such rubber parts of slow in case of metallic parts. You must check the degree of wear and tear that a machine has gone through before bidding for it.
Usage History: The second main thing that you must consider in such a deal. As a rule of thumb the heavy equipment is built very sturdily. It can withstand most of the wear and tear of normal usage. Generally for heavy equipment, normal usage means exposure to extreme conditions.

It is however not consider rough handling. You must understand the difference between usage in rough conditions and rough handling
While the former involves use of equipment in tough terrain, the latter means general negligence in the manner in which equipment is handles. Naturally while the former is considered acceptable, the latter is not as it exposes machinery to undue stress. If equipment has been roughly handled, purchasing it is a foolish decision.

Price Differential: The main reason that you opt for buying heavy equipment at auction is the low cost involved. However this is more like a compromise between lesser price and decreased lifetime of device. It is not really a great idea to purchase heavy equipment at auction unless the price to value factor is favorable along with the overall price differential.

Naturally purchasing new machine is better in comparison to a nearly priced machine at auction.
Technology Used In The Equipment: Heavy equipment is one area where technology advances at a blinding pace. You could not want to invest your money on equipment which has aging or outdated technology. It is not a great idea to spend big money buying heavy equipment at auction and still be leasing the equipment because what you purchased comes with outdated technology.

Generally the auctioneers perform extensive testing on the equipment they are about to auction. Keep in mind that you may be required to raise money from loans and such means even for buying heavy equipment at auction. Ask the auctioneers for the results of their testing and always cross check before the hammer falls.

Building Relationships: How Radios Make Construction Work Easier

Now then ladies and gentlemen, i’ve one more brilliant earpiece piece of writing for you to read, i know, you do not need to thank me all, just add a social like to the short article to prove your appreciation.

audioInstant communication is of vital importance to construction workers the world over. Radios are part of the lifeblood of the construction industry. It is not an understatement to call the use of two-way radio systems vital to the wellbeing of the industry, not only in the interests of communication and efficiency, but also for safety.

Busy construction sites are actually one of the more challenging areas for radio networks to navigate. Building sites present numerous challenges for two-way radio networks, such as background noise, signal coverage, ground to crane communications, security issues and subcontractors requiring access to the system.

In addition, the hardware itself needs to be solid and durable. A construction-site radio should able to endure harsh weather, heavy impacts (such as being dropped) and possible exposure to water, paint, adhesives and sawdust, without adversely affecting performance. That’s quite a tall order, but the radios are up to it.

David Ashfield is an experienced British I.T consultant who has worked on numerous sites throughout the country as a subcontractor. He very kindly spoke to us about his experiences with construction site radio systems.

“When I was on site, I usually had two walkie-talkies at any given time” he said, “the company I was working for had its own set and the site contractors had theirs. We used our own set to communicate with our own team, mainly to clear the traffic on the main network. However, our team needed access to the main network as well. While I was working on software, for example, I needed to stay in constant contact with the electricians.”

Mr. Ashfield said that, during his most recent site job, 5 different teams of subcontractors shared the same network. A main office switchboard connected the teams. Trained professionals operated the switchboard, filling yet another pivotal role in any major construction job.

Safety was of paramount importance at all times, he said. The secure channel was used for emergencies only. It was mainly employed to inform the teams of impending safety tests and fire drills.

Construction sites are put up swiftly and efficiently and, over time, buildings are born from them. These impressive efforts are achieved by the talented teams of engineers, architects, electricians, builders and, of course, people like Mr. Ashfield, who go in every day and work together to create new and interesting spaces.

However, these achievements would be far more difficult if it wasn’t for the two-way radios they constantly employ.

T3 Gadget Awards 2013: HTC One beats off Apple and Samsung to win three gongs

Article of the Day………ok so i haven’t got a piece of writing each day, but if i get a chance I’ll post posts I find interesting. Fortunate enough here is one of those articles that I read and needed to share. If you enjoy it as much as me, please add one of the special social media likes, you know the one which tells one and all you enjoyed something, rather then you sat on your arse and watched Television!

audioThe HTC One has triumphed at tonight’s T3 Gadget Awards, picking up three awards – T3 Design Award, Phone of the Year and the coveted Gadget of the Year.

HTC One beat both the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the Phone of the Year category, breaking up the recent dominance that both tech giants have had in the smartphone market.
Other big winners on the night were Apple for Computer and Tablet of the Year, and Sony for Digital Camera and TV of the Year.

Two of the UK’s most innovative and forward thinking pioneers in technology – Michael Acton Smith, founder and Chief Executive of Mind Candy, and Chris Anderson, curator of TED – received accolades for their contribution to the world of technology.

Michael Acton Smith is one of the foremost drivers of the UK tech industry. He is the creator of Moshi Monsters, which has over 80 million users in 150 countries, giving many children their first experience of using technology and social networking.
TED curator Chris Anderson won the inaugural T3 Tech Legend award, given to those whose impact on the technology world has a significant and positive effect.
Originally a journalist specialising in computing, he established Future – the international media business and owner of T3 – in 1985 with a single magazine (Amstrad Action).

Gaming headsets with microphones, which of them are the best?

Article of the Day………ok so i don’t have a piece of writing seven days a week, but when i get an opportunity Ill post articles that I find fascinating. Fortunate enough heres one of these articles that I read and had to share. If you enjoy it as much as me, please add one of the special social media likes, you know the one that tells everybody you enjoyed something, rather then you sat on your arse and watched TV!

Hi and welcome to a brand new group of solutions to those headset questions. Ever wanted to learn about something headphone, earphone or headset related? Now’s your chance. Due to a large amount of questions we’re so repeatedly asked, we’ve dipped into our mailbox and selected the 9 most important (and most often submitted) questions. Enjoy.

Oh, by the way, in case your question isn’t here, then just send us an email and check back in a few… you may see it featured within the next series. Thanks.

Theres no denying that the World-wide-web has delivered the entire planet closer together. Not only is it an excellent source for compatible people to share testimonies and insights with one another, its also a beautiful method of gathering your neighbours in the worldwide neighborhood of which we are all a part.

At present, when the newsreaders inform you that the folks of some distant land are thoroughly evil and conspiring to return to your home while youre sleeping and kill you and everybody you care about in various atrocious ways, you dont have to just sit back and believe it. As a rule, it is possible to simply drop these far off individuals a line and ask them for yourselves. I typically find that they mostly live very similar lives to my very own, which largely revolves about eating cereal, reading comic publications and playing The Ramones all day long.

Another good way to share out global peace and harmony is by waging all our future wars digitally, I advanced a hypothesis some months ago (in an editorial for another website) that if we might have all our wars via Call Of Duty besides actually, the world could be a far better place. Then we could all go get some cereal (Personally, I am into Golden Grahams in the mean time) and listen to The Ramones. We are nearer than ever to this dream, I feel, as well as gaming earphone revolution is offering us there on time.

So, with harmony on Earth firmly in mind, I made a decision to pick out the very best 3 gaming headphones (with microphones) on sale right now. Fight the power, brothers and sisters. Right on.

1) SteelSeries Siberia V2: At any time youre a PC For the |General|Hardcore| gamer, you actually cant go wrong here. Though the Siberia will set you back a great deal of money (70 to be precise), these are indisputably the most effective PC headphones around. They are not wireless, which will work against them, however the reviews, everyplace you search, are generally glowing.
2) Turtle Beach X12: This pair will handle all sound from either your Microsoft xbox 360 or your Computer and can reproduce crystal clear sound with pin dropping precision. They’re pricey, but worth the price if youve got it to spare.
3) Logitech Vantage USB Headset: Now, when you have not got sufficient cash to meet the expense of the other 2, Ive included this Logitech headphone designed primarily to be used with the Playstation 3. It features a noise reduction function with a very top quality microphone. It only has one speaker, but at less than 20, it’s still an excellent quality mid range choice.

Obviously, you’ll find lots of various products available to choose from, but based on what you like and the amount you want to pay; they are probably your greatest bets.
