KNOW WHY MOTORBIKES EXHAUST ARE GENERALLY PLACED ON RIGHT SIDE !!


You might have wondered why does almost every motorcycle have its exhaust placed on the right, and not the left?It is not a design constraint as such and you can have the silencer on the left as well. But there could be many reasons otherwise.We will discuss these reasons in this article.


Manufacturers have just stuck to the design that was implemented on the very first internal combustion-powered, single-cylinder motorcycles.The first motorbike without pedal was having exhaust on the right side. Since then manufacturers decided to mount the exhaust on the right side of the motorcycle.

Apart from this other reasons that are important to consider are as follows:


1. The exhaust fumes would be a little farther from the pedestrain walking sidewalks on the left.




2. Lot of women and old people sit sideways and it is much more safer to disembark them to the left. Silencer to the right helps with that.



3. Usually, there's a chain sprocket on the left side and having the silencer on the right balances the mass to some extent.

4. The way we learn to ride a bike, usually the left foot comes off the foot rest first when we are braking to a stop. Having the silencer to the right minimizes the risk of the foot coming in the proximity to the hot exhaust pipes.

But,it need not to be necessarily on right . Sports bikes have both sides , some have under the seat. But in general the exhaust is placed on the right side for above reasons.

KNOW WHY THESE GAPS ARE PRESENT IN THE STRIP OF MEDICAL TABLETS !!


Sometimes when you buy a strip of medicine (tablets), you notice of empty slots. Irrespective of the exact shape of the tablet, it can be round, rectangle, oval; every strip is packaged in this typical design-geometry.We will understand the reason behind the empty slots in this article.


Reason 1:

To keep up the standard size of the packing boxes, the company adds these extra spaces to avoid the extra cost.



Reason 2:

Since these tablets are small in size, but the minimum information required to be given on them is quite a lot, so the overall size of packaging is generally large so as to accommodate all relevant information.

Reason 3:

These extra empty spaces help to avoid breakage and spilling of medicines during transportation. This is one of the most important reasons why these empty spaces are there.

Reason 4:

This is a tricky one where our mind would get fooled by the packing. Extra spaciousness gives a feel that the tablet is worth the cost. But the actual fact is that it does not cost even an extra penny for the special packing!



Reason 5:

Empty space left is to increase the inertness of the tablet by pumping vacuum or inert gases inside the empty space. If air is present inside the empty space, then the tablets might get oxidized resulting in poor performance of the medicine.

Hope,this article might have helped you to understand the logic behiend those empty space.

ALL ABOUT PCB


Printed Circuit Boards are commonly known as PCB. There are electrical and electronic components are connected on the board. In the designing phase any pcb is connected via wires for testing purpose. It is very complex and very hard to test. The wire connections are not suitable for large applications like motherboard. Components are internally connected without wires in the PCB which decreases the overall complexity. PCBs can design as per the requirements. It is found in most of electronic devices like TV, Cell Phones, Computers, Camera etc. It is also used in communication devices, defence equipment etc. India Circuit is leading pcb manufacturing companies in india.

There are two types of Mounting processes are used Through-hole and Surface mounted.

First is through-hole PCB. There are holes made on the circuit to mount the leads of the components and it soldered on the other side of PCB. In the through-hole process the components have support from PCB for performance and this is widely used for mount the components on PCB. As there are holes are drilled in the PCB the manufacturing cost is increased. This is suitable for single-sided PCB but for double or multilayer it is not recommended.

The next method is surface mount. In this process there is small size components with small or no leads are used. In this process the components are directly mounted on the board and the holes are not required to mount. After mounting process, the solder paste is applied to hold components on the surface of PCB.

PCB construction is depending on the requirements. It is in single layer, double layer or multilayer.

Single Sided PCB

Double Sided PCB

Multilayer PCB

Rigid PCB

Flexible PCB

Rigid-flex PCB

Single Sided PCB 


First in the list is single-sided PCB. It is also called single layer PCB. It is widely used as it has simple design and easily manufactured. There is copper applied on the one side of PCB as the copper has better electric conductivity than other materials. The solder mask is applied to prevent the damage in the process of silkscreen coat for marking of components on the PCB. There is an electric component on the single side. The components are soldered on the other side of the PCB. Single sided PCBs are cost effective and it is best option for bulk manufacturing. Single sided PCBs are used in devices like printers, calculators etc.

Double Sided PCB

It is also known as double layer PCB. There is copper coat on the single side and in the double side the copper coating is on the both sides. The two layers are connected with hole made on the surface. The price of double side is low and are suitable to make complex circuit with compact size. Double sided PCBs are used in gaming motherboard, gaming pc, mobile phones, Inverter, Amplifies etc.


Multi-Layer PCB

There are more than two conductive layers in the multilayer PCB. There is glue is applied between layers to protect components from heat produced while performance. It is used for a complex circuit with compact size for best performance. This type of PCBs is used in satellite system, data servers etc.

Rigid PCB 


Rigid PCB is made from solid material which is very strong. It can be made in single layer, double layer and multilayer. The shape of PCB remains same after installation. It is not bent as per base. Rigid PCBs are long lasting. This PCBs is used in CPU, RAM and GPU. Single sided rigid PCBs are most used as it has simple design.

Flexible PCB

The material in the PCB makes it flexible. There is conductive plastic is used. Flexible PCBs are used where the rigid PCBs is not. It has very complex design and it is made in single sided, double sided and multilayer. This is used in LED, Solar Panel, Laptops etc.

Rigid-Flex PCB

This is a mixture of the Rigid and Flexible technique. Rigid-Flex contains number of rigid circuits are connect with flexible circuits. It is used in camera, cell phones etc.

We hope that this information is helpful to choose PCB according to your need.
