![]() The good news is that, starting around 2010, the battery manufacturers and vehicle OEMs did a better job of labeling these batteries AGM. One of the biggest questions we get from professionals and consumers alike is, “How do I know what type of battery it is?” This is a great question. Due to this evolution in vehicle system design, the number of new vehicles manufactured using AGM batteries has increased significantly over the past ten years.īecause the AGM battery features a different construction than traditional lead acid batteries, there are service implications that result. Doing so places greater strain on the vehicle’s battery, since the vehicle’s systems must remain powered during the stop, and results in the battery getting more heavily discharged more often than happens with traditional system designs. This technology, as we have all come to experience, turns the engine off with each stop to reduce fuel consumption. This last feature is the reason they have become more popular – their able to be more deeply discharged without harm has made the AGM battery the battery of choice for vehicles equipped with Stop-Start technology. These construction changes result in battery that is more powerful, more durable, longer lasting and better able to handle deeper discharging than a traditional lead acid battery. Finally, because these batteries do not have liquid electrolyte, or are not “flooded”, they are completely sealed, as opposed to a traditional flooded acid battery with fill caps. ![]() This mat is what gives these batteries their name (Absorbent Glass Mat – AGM). ![]() The thinner lead plates can be used because each plate is wrapped in an absorbent fiberglass mat material, which provides structure to that thin plate, keeps the plates from touching and creates a medium in which the battery’s electrolyte is suspended. These construction changes include the use of thinner lead plates, allowing more plates to be packed into the same battery size, which results in greater power. The AGM battery is a modified version of the traditional lead acid battery, with several construction changes to allow it to deliver improved performance in several areas. So, we thought we’d take this opportunity to address some of the service implications of AGM batteries, which are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s vehicles.įirst let’s start by defining what an AGM Battery is and why is it becoming increasingly popular in today’s vehicles. But for most vehicle and equipment owners, the AGM battery brings more questions than answers. If this is the case, you likely know that these batteries require different equipment when servicing them (sometimes). Perhaps you have a bass boat with an Odyssey battery powering your trolling motor or a vintage car equipped with an Optima battery. ![]() For many of you, the AGM battery is a familiar item. ![]()

It’s not that easy to switch this effect on the fly, as you have to tap a setting and then select the style you want, but I like that you can customize your own styles. For example, the rich contrast mode made the shot look less hazy, while the vibrant setting made the coleus plants pop more along with the tree in the background. I tried out the feature with a series of portraits, and I appreciated the difference between styles. This Super Retina XDR display is now 28% brighter than the iPhone 12 it’s also rated at 800 nits, compared to 600 nits for last year’s phone. Brighter display easier to read in direct sunlightĪlas, the iPhone 13 doesn’t boast the adaptive 120Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 13 Pro, but it’s still a stellar OLED panel.One thing to note, thanks to Apple's new iPhone Self Service Repair kits, you can now carry out your own repairs, but proceed with caution here as you'll need some technical skills. Apple also launched fresh iPhone 13 colors during the Apple Event in March 2022, including a new green iPhone 13. And I continue to appreciate the color-matched aluminum frame Apple includes with its entry-level iPhones. I tested the blue model, which is a fun shade without being too loud. The iPhone 13 comes in six colors, including Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight and (Product) Red. Apple has acknowledged the issue and says a fix is coming soon. I didn’t need a sensor in the display like many Android phones now support a Touch ID sensor embedded in the power button like on the iPad mini 6 would have been fine.įor now, it appears the iPhone 13 is having a problem unlocking with the Apple Watch in some cases. Unfortunately, the iPhone 13 doesn’t offer Touch ID, an upgrade many of us would have appreciated since Face ID doesn’t work well with masks. And you get the same IP68 water resistance as before. Otherwise, the iPhone 13 offers the same tough CeramicShield display up front, durable glass back and flat edges. ![]() ![]() While we’re on that subject there’s also volume buttons on there.Īny time I turned the projector on it loaded up and played Samsung’s TV app, whether I wanted it or not. To get it set up, hit the power button on the included remote, or touch the nearly invisible power button located on the face of the projector. You can also mirror an existing Samsung TV, even if it’s in a different room. It’s also possible to AirPlay from an iPhone too if that’s your jam, but there are a few additional steps to do that which I won’t get into here. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, you simply tap the phone anywhere on the Freestyle to mirror the content. You can also connect wirelessly to your mobile device to mirror the screen. (No wireless? You could connect an external device like a Blu-ray player, or try hot-spotting off your phone.) You can control it with the included remote control or the Samsung Smart Things app. Samsung has built streaming TV right into the projector so there’s no need for any external devices or dongles-you’ll connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi network, or grab wireless wherever you happen to be. There’s a built-in 360-degree 5-watt speaker to handle the audio, which should allow everyone in the room to hear things no matter where the Freestyle is placed. Particularly when you’re spending this much money. ![]() The Freestyle is capable of 1080p Full HD and is HDR compatible, though you won’t be able to get anything in the 4K and up range, and I have to say I’m a bit surprised this unit doesn’t have (almost universally standard) 4K resolution. You can also move the Freestyle closer and reduce the screen size down to 30 inches at about two and a half feet. While small in size, The Freestyle is able to project a screen of up to 100 inches at a distance of about 9 feet. It seems like it’s the video equivalent of a wireless speaker designed to throw in your bag and bring out at a party or get-together or to turn any wall into a movie theater. The cylindrical unit is 102x173x95mm (or 4x7x3.7 inches), making it very portable and easy to move. Going along with that blending into the room thing, The Freestyle comes in four different non-standard colours: white, blossom pink, forest green, and coyote beige. But what’s the appeal, how is the video picture, is it as versatile as Samsung would have you believe, and overall would it be a good buy for you? I recently borrowed one of these units from Samsung to test it and review in my home. This projector is ultra small and packed with technology, and Samsung’s been marketing it hard. Case in point the new Samsung The Freestyle video projector. They allow you to create a very large image and thanks to their smaller size they can be placed in a variety of locations where a standard flatscreen TV just won’t work. ![]() So why haven’t projectors gone away? It’s because they’re generally a good idea. There lies the trouble many people have with imagining projectors as a desirable gadget for home use… at home projectors were known for being substandard often weak in the brightness department, loud (fan noise), and generally hit or miss depending on the unit you bought and the technology within it. For many years they were a substandard way to splash larger than life videos up on a classroom screen, but at the same time they’re the only way most major motion pictures get displayed in movie theaters. It also comes with built-in Alexa, Google Assistant and Bixby, so you can turn up the volume and issue other voice commands to control the projector.Projectors are an interesting category. The device can project images with a 1080p resolution as small as 30 inches or as big as 100 inches - plus, it supports HDR content and has 360-degree audio. If you use a base accessory, it can connect to a standard E26 lightbulb socket, as well. The Freestyle has a stand that can rotate almost 180 degrees, so you can position your image wherever you want, whether it's the ceiling or the wall. If you've keeping an eye out for deals on the device, you my want to head over to Woot: You can get the Samsung Freestyle for only $650, $250 off its regular price, from the website.īuy Samsung The Freestyle Smart Portable Projector at Woot - $650 However, at $900, it was quite a bit more expensive than similar portable projectors like Anker's. We thought the product was a solid choice for the product category, seeing it only weighs 1.83 pounds and has auto focus and auto leveling features to help align whatever it is you're watching. Back in January, Samsung launched a portable projector called Freestyle at CES. ![]() ![]() It seems allowing the higher App does not always allow some sub-components of it to have accessĪs per my original post, ESET Smart Security when set to Auto has no issues with Steam (or steam games), and does not require firewall rules.

It has been reported that physical impairments following ankle fractures may include pain, functional impairment and the development of post-trauma arthritis. Long term effects of ankle fractures have been reported to include physical, psychological, and social consequences. Prior empirical research has indicated the impact of ankle fractures may not be restricted to pain and disability caused at the time of the incident but continue for an extended duration. However, any perception that ankle fractures have a low rate of sub-optimal outcome and negligible negative long term consequence are not founded in empirical data. This potential consideration of ankle fractures as a lesser injury may be due to a perception that ankle fractures are localised in nature and have a high success rate of fracture reduction and union with established treatment protocols. Despite their high incidence, ankle fractures may be considered by some to be a ‘lesser’ injury in comparison to other fractures (such as multiple trauma, hip fractures or fractures of the axial skeleton) and have attracted less empirical research in comparison to other common fracture types. Fractures around the ankle are one of the more commonly occurring forms of trauma managed by orthopaedic teams worldwide with Australasian data citing an incidence of 43.5 fractures per 100,000 persons per year. Traumatic musculoskeletal injuries are a common problem that may result in short or long term pain and disability. The findings from this research have provided an empirically derived framework from which a condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure can be developed. The nature of life impact following ankle fractures can extend beyond short term pain and discomfort into many areas of life. Health professional responses did not reveal any additional themes, but tended to focus on physical and occupational themes. The emerging framework derived from patient data included eight themes (Physical, Psychological, Daily Living, Social, Occupational and Domestic, Financial, Aesthetic and Medication Taking). Health professionals included an Orthopaedic surgeon (1), physiotherapists (3), a podiatrist (1) and an occupational therapist (1). Experience of health professionals ranged from 1 year to 16 years working with people with ankle fractures. Time since injury for patients ranged from 6 weeks to more than 2 years. Saturation occurred after 10 in-depth patient interviews. Each phrase was individually coded and grouped in categories and aligned under emerging themes by two independent researchers. ![]() Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. MethodsĪ qualitative investigation was undertaken using in-depth semi-structured interviews with people (n=12) who had previously sustained an ankle fracture (patients) and health professionals (n=6) that treat people with ankle fractures. This investigation aimed to develop a thematic conceptual framework of life impacts following ankle fracture from the experiences of people who have suffered ankle fractures as well as the health professionals who treat them. ![]() There are currently no ankle fracture specific patient-reported outcome measures with a robust content foundation. The impacts of these injuries are not restricted to pain and disability caused at the time of the incident, but may also result in long term physical, psychological, and social consequences.

He said "you don't have to pay, I insist".I said "I want to pay and leave". It was a laughable, horrendous experience. After over one hour, we got this!

An hour and 10 mintues later for this! Truly the place should be shuttered. And cold, and canned Tuna Fish! Unbelievalbe.All of it, not a panni but this must have been someone's idea of a joke. It was the saddest presentatio of food I have ever encountered. 3 plates were put down and on two sandwiches, no kidding were the same awful bread, with cold tuna from a can put on both sides and pushed together by someone's hand, it looked like.with some onions and capers on top and a dreary salad.If I had had a camera, I would have taken it for YOutube and flashed the world. We finally got our sandwiches at almost 3pm. Amazing bad manners in a customer service crisis. I looked over and he was cleaing the espresso machine and seemed to not care that we were unhappy.He was honestly aloof the entire time. Actually 10 more minutes went by.He didn't stop to talk to us about the debacle going on. With everyone now gone and just us, this manager finally came by to tell us our food would be there any minute. I finished it and then we sat for another 20 minutes.So, I said outloud, " how hard can 3 sandwiches be!" There were about 7 tables when we came in. Finally after 45 minutes, he brought my Caesar Salad. As well, at no time did anyone fill my guests tea glasses and water. I saw him a the bar and motioned to him for another wine. We ordered ahi panini's and caesar salads.At 2:45pm, no food! He did bring us some bread, in a basket, just cold, tasteless bread and some olive oil pesto dip but by this time we had been there 45 minutes with no food. Finally at 2:05, the one man who was manager, waiter, bartender and all else took my wine order. So he gestured for us to sit down, which we did. We came inside and I noticed only one man serving. So, we went next door to Aldente as it had nice table seating outdoors and inside reflected lovely light. This may be the only place in the world that lists an affogato on the menu for dessert, and rather than serving the gelato in a petite.In Palm Springs for lunch, we went to Riccio's only to find it closed for some reason.
