Actually you know what I can't make up my mind so I'm going to make it a poll. That said, I reserve the right to treat this like a coin flip wherein if I look at the end result and go "oh actually I wanna do the other thing" then that is what I'll do

Anyways

Oldsmobile’s Experimental ’66 Toronado Station Wagon

What if Oldsmobile produced a Toronado station wagon? General Motors was intrigued enough by the idea to build a prototype or two.

It’s only natural that General Motors and its Oldsmobile division would seek out additional applications for the advanced front-wheel drive unit designed for the 1966 Toronado. Known internally at GM as the Unitized Power Package or UPP, the powertrain module was a tidy, versatile package, and surely a bundle had been invested in its development. The next application following the Toronado, of course, was the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. And since one great benefit of the UPP front-drive system was that it allowed a low, flat floor, another use that easily came to mind was a station wagon.

By March of 1966, the GM design had a full-sized studio model ready for display at the Tech Center’s styling court (above). As we can see, this was essentially a European-style shooting brake adaptation of the production Toronado coupe. Sporty, yes, but the two-door wagon didn’t offer much more in the way of useful interior volume over the standard Toronado.

Taking a more practical approach, GM built a full-sized, four-door wagon prototype using the Toronado drive unit and front-end sheet metal. But at the time, Oldsmobile didn’t offer a full-size wagon—its largest wagon was the Vista Cruiser, based on a stretched  A-body intermediate platform. So a Pontiac full-sized wagon body shell, from the firewall back, was merged with the Toronado front clip. As the photos show, the Olds/Pontiac mashup was more of a basic proof-of-concept rather than a finished prototype. The tail lamps fit oddly and the front and rear wheel openings don’t match at all.

Leading automotive historian Michael Lamm, writing in the late, great magazine Special Interest Autos (July-Aug 1978) reported that in fact, several of these experimental front-drive wagons were constructed. Mr. Lamm also noted that GM styling vice president Bill Mitchell raved about the flat, unobtructed floors, and he included this awesome Mitchell quote: “With the tailgate down, you could run a motorscooter into it.”  But as we now know, the front-drive, Toronado-derived station wagon was never sent into production—though the UPP was later used to power the 1973-78 GMC Motor Home.

There was another Toronado station wagon, not that Oldsmobile had any direct involvement. In 1968-70, American Quality Coach of Blytheville, Arkansas produced the AQC Jetway 707 airport limousine. A Toronado with its wheelbase extended five and a half feet, it sported tandem rear axles, five doors per side, and a Vista Cruiser-ish station wagon roof. Somewhere between 52 and 150 of these behemoths were reportedly built, various sources say, and a number of them are still around.

SCP-AQC

Code Name: The Hive Boy

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: A squad of Mobile Task Force Lambda-12 "Pest Control" is responsible for guarding SCP-AQC. SCP-AQC is contained at Site-AF within a 32x32 meter room with an air filtration system that prevents any SCP-AQC-1 instances from escaping. The room is large enough to allow over a hundred SCP-AQC-1 hives to exist at any time. As requested by SCP-AQC, the corpse of a single cow is to be introduced into SCP-AQC's containment cell so that the SCP-AQC-1 instances can feed. 

SCP-AQC relies on SCP-AQC-1 instances to care for, heal, and feed him so Foundation staff are not required to care for him. SCP-AQC has not requested any new clothes, furniture, toys, or any kind of accommodation, so Foundation staff are not required to bring any. So long as the SCP-AQC-1 instances are well fed and cared for, so is SCP-AQC. Testing must be approved by at least one Level 3 Foundation clearance staff member, there are no exceptions. 

Description: SCP-AQC is an undead boy of an unknown age thought its suspected that be somewhere between the ages of 11 and 13. SCP-AQC even while he was alive had the anomalous ability to control and communicate with a wide variety of wasps and bees. The ones that he seems to have the deepest connection with is the Vespa Mandarinia species. Thought regardless of species they are known as SCP-AQC-1 instances. For whatever reason after speaking with them they become completely loyal to SCP-AQC. Furthermore, they don't mind the presence of other SCP-AQC-1 instances regardless of species. 

SCP-AQC died due to decapitation by [data expunged], by the time the Foundation found him he was nothing but bones. SCP-AQC seems to have bits of his flesh in his neck, where he was decapitated, the rest is held together by beeswax. SCP-AQC is still clinically dead but despite that he talks and movies around as if he is alive. Scans have shown that his brain is fresh but not active and his heart has blood flowing through it, but it doesn't beat. He seems to be in a sort of state where he is not fully dead but not fully alive either, how this works or is even possible is unknown. 

Even before SCP-AQC died, he had a negative view on humans and though he treated most with minor kindness or indifference. However, after SCP-AQC died he became increasingly furious at humans and protective of his SCP-AQC-1 instances. SCP-AQC will often allow or even order his SCP-AQC-1 instances to attack any human in sight and feed on their flesh. 

SCP-AQC-1 instances do worry about themselves and their hives; however, SCP-AQC is always their top priority. Should SCP-AQC ever receive a wound of any kind SCP-AQC-1 instances will intervene. If the wound is minor, then they will use beeswax to stich it, allowing it to slowly heal on its own. If the wound is severed then they will take chucks of meat and place, it into the wound until it is full and attach it all together with beeswax. About a month later the wound thought still made of meat chucks and beeswax will resemble skin. How any of this works is entirely unknown.

SCP-AQC was discovered in May 1991 when reports of Hornets invading the house of [data expunged] was reported by the residence of [data expunged]. Originally this was believed to be just an out-of-control wasp infestation, so the local pest control was entrusted to deal with the situation. However, after taking care of the wasps on the outside of the house, they moved into the house but never came out. Furthermore, it was reported that inside the house there were sightings of a child moving around. The last straw was when it was confirmed that the wasps surrounding the house was made up of different species especially species that were known to be hostile to one another. 

With the information given Mobile Task Force Lambda-12 "Pest Control" moved in with Cryo Blasters. However, by the time they did so SCP-AQC-1 instances started swarming and attacking the town forcing Foundation agents to evacuate the area quickly. Thankfully MTF Lambda-12 was able to subdue a majority of SCP-AQC-1 instances. Due to the massive culling SCP-AQC himself showed up and agreed to surrender in exchange for the Foundation sparing his SCP-AQC-1 instances. As for surviving civilians the cover story was that the swarm was caused by a massive wasp migration due to changing seasons. Since they saw the SCP-AQC-1 instances and not SCP-AQC himself they believed it and thus no amnestic treatment was required. 

It was thanks to SCP-AQC's surrender that the Foundation was able to transport him to Site-AF so easily and how testing with SCP-AQC goes so well. However, SCP-AQC still views humanity with contempt and clearly secretly plans to one day escape so that his SCP-AQC-1 instances can be free. It is for this reason that SCP-AQC was not recommended for Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 "Last Hope" recruitment.

Do you think that an internet writing community of an old-fashioned sort might be better built up on Dreamwidth than social media these days? Your recent post made me wonder, as you brought up livejournal (and also because of how DW kinda forces a specific type of "interact or this site is useless" environment)

I've never used Dreamwidth, so I honestly have no idea. Someone with more experience with that would have to comment.

I know Critique Circle tries to require engagement, but I don't think it really works well in my experience. The old NaNo site and its forums were good, but they redesigned the site and the forums and lost a lot of it, and I don't like what they did with the place. There was an active writing community on AQC for a while that I was part of, but it's long since died. Absolute Write has one, but I'm fairly certain it's less active than it used to be; the same with the forums on Query Tracker.

Forums just seem less popular than they used to be, and a lot of community building and the kinds of communities it fostered have died with it.

There's some sites even today that have active comment communities--hell, even things like Ask a Manager do. I actually had old-school style comments enabled on my blog for the longest time, but you have to actually go to the blog post to actually access the comment threads, and...no one uses those on Tumblr? So I just stopped bothering and ended up removing it during a blog theme retooling.

I just wanna have a conversation with people, and it's getting so, so hard to find anywhere online that allows for it.

I think what would be good to help foster an older-style writing community would include the necessary requirements:

A place where people can post their own work or about their own work in a categorized way

A place to have public comments that are easily accessible from the work/post itself and easy to thread comment conversations.

A violation of the current temporalness of posts online: things need to sit around and not get locked and still be willing to comment on old things and threads.

DMs enabled

Encouraged posting of multiple topics and multiple formats, not just the works themselves

But I think the real problem is that the internet culture has just...changed. People get anxious talking about their writing and work these days. People get weird about being genuine about things. People get weird commenting on older things or letting things sit. People forget about older stuff. People get weird talking in depth about intellectual things. A lot of writing internet communities have taken a total fandom bent and fandom culture would have to be removed from it.

I don't know that internet culture has taken the steps in the direction to foster the kinds of thing I want. People use fanfic for all of their "silly" writing or practice writing or trying new things and all of their original writing is Serious and Important and Very Secret and quite possibly doesn't actually exist.

Forum culture enabled a way to have users talk about multiple things in an organized way that was neatly archived. It enabled conversations of more than one reply without drowning a "feed." It enabled a different kind of culture than most websites today do.

Entry 1: Filesystem of PSO2

Welcome to the first entry in this blog, I want to start out fairly simple and explain how PSO2's code is stored. The files are stored in the data/win32 folder of the PSO2 Install in a format called ICE, however the files themselves do not need this extension. On PC the names of the ICE are encoded which leads to gibberish such as "34ac15ec69f85af3a35af5a2757e62d4"

Each ICE file contains a group1 folder and group2 folder, unless it lacks the need to have one of them, the general rule of thumb is that group1 is code files such as .lua scripts, .evt/skit event files that are lua scripts with extra steps, .bti is Movement code for animation movement or emotes and .cml files are to load textures into models

Group2 is 3D Models stored in formats such as .aqm, .aqc for Camera related work, Textures in the .dds format (GIMP can open these) and various other formats I have yet to understand but mostly are related to the front-end design.

Sounds simple enough right? Well here is the kicker, ICEs reference each other which leads to things such as Tokyo Exploration having over 50 ICEs dedicated to it alone and each having their own nonsensical name, luckily there are CSV Excel files that can help you find the group of files you are looking for. These Sheets can be found under this Link: JP_Images_2024_1_30

If you want to extract or pack ICE files yourself you can get the handy tool "Zamboni Lite" made by Shadowth117 from https://github.com/Shadowth117/Zamboni/releases Important: If you are working with the Episode 4 Benchmark you MUST turn off Compression otherwise your ICEs won't work and will crash.

That is all there is to say on a surface level of this subject, I hope you learned something new and see you next time!

ADVANCEMENT IN AIR & PROCESS GAS FLOW MONITORING IN CEMENT PLANTS FOR PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

The cement industry is one of the key sectors for the development of construction and infrastructure. Around 4.4 billion tons of cement will be produced worldwide in  2021. The largest cement producer is China with over 55% of the capacity. followed by India as the second  product with about 7% of the capacity.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,  demand for rural and urban infrastructure development has increased worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped countries.Initiatives such as the Smart City project in India will create long-term demand for cement products, leading to massive technological upgrading of existing cement plants to optimize costs and energy.

The cement industry is one of the largest energy consumers in the industrial sectors. Energy consumption is 40-60% of production costs. In addition, the cement industry is responsible for around 5-8% of all anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Due to growing demand, efficiency and optimization are becoming key criteria for today's cement plant managers, who largely depend on the accurate and repeatable measurement of various process parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow. level etc.

In the cement industry, however, this is an assumption used to calculate process gas flow rates in correlation with fan/blower speed and energy consumption, leading to a high degree of uncertainty in the actual gas flow rate and energy consumption of primary mobile equipment such as fans/blowers.

1.  PROCESS HEATING FLUE MEASUREMENT The cyclone heaters are used in front of rotary kilns in cement  plants to preheat the raw material mixture and remove carbon dioxide and water before entering the kiln. The quality of the  cement plant preheater directly affects the stability of the calcination temperature and the quality of the cement clinker  in the kiln. Measuring the flue gas flow  in the chimney can help to precisely control  the downstream ID fan and thus optimally control  the O2 content in the furnace exhaust gas.

Measuring the flue gas throughput is generally difficult due to the large duct diameter, the  high dust concentration and the high temperatures of around 350⁰C-400⁰C.In general, the velocity is temporarily measured  with a pitot tube, which introduces large uncertainty for cross-validation, which does not contribute to the effective control of the process.

2. MEASURING THE FLOW VELOCITY OF THE CLINKER COOLER  FAN   The clinker cooler is a key equipment in the clinker production line, which helps in quenching and conveying the hot clinker discharged from the rotary kiln and supplies hot cooling air to the rotary kiln and the plant preheater. As the first device in which the high-temperature clinker releases heat, it plays an indispensable role in reducing coal and electricity consumption, raising the temperature of secondary and tertiary air, and improving the heat recovery rate.

A good clinker cooler can help cement plants reduce their energy consumption for two reasons: first, to improve the cooling performance and reduce the energy consumption of the clinker cooler itself; The second is to reduce  coal consumption in rotary kilns and preheating systems by improving the heat recovery rate.Effective control of the clinker cooling grate  fan  is essential to achieve cooling performance and energy savings through a higher cooling rate coupled with advanced speed control. Continuous measurement of the cooling air flow  plays an important role in optimizing the operation of the clinker cooler.

The measurement of cooling fans is a difficult task due to the high concentration of clinker dust with  high abrasion rate, whereby the flow sensors must be robust and resistant to high abrasion resistance. Currently, this application has a limited throughput solution with a shorter life expectancy of around 1-6 months.

3. AQC BOILER & PHP PROCESS GAS OUTLET FLOW MEASUREMENT In modern cement plants, waste heat recovery (WHR) units are installed in the cement plants, which use the heat generated by the rotary kiln preheater (PH) and AQC off-gases to generate electrical energy. Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS), where the hot exhaust  gases are heated by a preheater and a rotary kiln; The clinker cooler is routed to the preheater (PH). Boiler & Cooling chamber boilers (AQC) for heat energy recovery for steam turbine power generation boiler operation. Typically 20-30% of a cement plant's energy needs can be met by using this waste heat for power generation applications, resulting in a significant saving/reduction in  overall production costs.

Effective control of PH & An AQC boiler requires accurate and reliable gas flow at the inlet or outlet, which requires a suitable flow meter with high temperature and abrasion resistant construction.

5. PROCESS & CHIMNEY FLOW MEASUREMENT Flue gases from the clinker cooling process  and boiler must be monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency to maintain control of emission regulations. This requires accurate and reliable flow measurement solutions to achieve high thermal efficiency and  ESP  & Assistance with Emission Control Regulations & Provides useful information for mass balance optimization.

6. MEASUREMENT OF COMPRESSED AIR  FOR SERVICE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Compressed air is used  in cement plants as a medium for the efficient operation of pneumatic equipment  in packing and packaging plants and other various applications that need to be monitored because they are invisible energy, since one horsepower (hp) of electricity is required to produce 4 scfm of compressed air.

CONCLUSION The cement plant consists mainly  of a large duct with fans (FD and ID fans) in which conventional flow measurements are made with a differential pressure sensor as basic components such as center Pitot tube, orifice plate, airfoil, etc., which are prone to clogging, insensitive to Flow changes and large pressure drops with less accuracy. The use against the introduced thermal mass flow (a heat dissipation technique) is now considered generally uneconomical. This is the latest development after years of experience.

Work is continuing on the material's compatibility with a very dusty and highly abrasive hot gas that meets the application requirements of most  cement plants with few  temperature limits up to 500⁰C. Even above the operating temperature of 500⁰C, conventional technologies continue to dominate the market. We hope this will help cement plant process operators to take advantage of the new technology over traditional flow measurement and appreciate the benefits it brings.
