![]() ![]() To wrap up this lengthy reply, I guess we amateurs need to ask ourselves your question from a customer’s perspective. As mentioned, the BHI does distance learning courses for students worldwide as another option to get professionally qualified. Obviously, it depends which part of the world you live in as I know there are equally good organisations to get professionally trained in the US for example. Would love to get a lathe to learn those skills too. ![]() I take on some more advanced projects now that I have built my confidence and tools set up, including escapement work (refitting balance staffs etc.). I have always declined because I describe myself as an enthusiastic hobbyist, and nothing more. I sell my successful projects on ebay for next to no profit, and I’ve had a few people contact me to ask whether I’d repair/service their watches. So in my opinion, to provide assurance to your future customers, I would recommend you get professionally qualified. He highly recommended the hands-on course, and since for me, the BHI course centre (Upton Hall) is less than an hour away, it makes sense all round - except for now of course, while all onsite courses are cancelled due to the pandemic! I joined the BHI as an associate member two years ago - worth it for the horological journals they publish monthly. ![]() But some time ago I reached out to Mark regarding taking the British Horological Institute (BHI) courses and professional exams, and considering whether to do the distance learning course or the hands-on workshop tutor led course. I think this is a great place to start and will provide certificates of achievement (a measurement of your knowledge). I’ve taken Level 1 and 2 of Mark’s watch repair courses, and this has helped improve my techniques and skills confidence. My escapism from the stresses of the day job is to restore vintage watches, and I’ve been practicing for about three years now. I work in a well paid but highly stressful job, though I’m moving towards the latter end of my career. It's a very sad situation.Īnyway, best of luck with your endeavours becoming a watchmaker, and remember, "where there is a will there is a way"! However, be aware that as an independent watchmaker it will sometimes be very difficult and sometimes even impossible to source spare parts as the brands for the last 35 years have been increasingly restricting the supply of spare parts with the goal of killing off the independent repair trade. That will of course be very hard work and time consuming and perhaps something to pursue after a few years as an employee, which will also provide valuable contacts in the business. If want to start your own business it will of course be more a matter of building customer relations and trust in your own work. I haven't researched the topic too much but I think Googling "wostep watchmaking school" could provide some interesting reading. If you're looking for employment I believe a certificate would be very helpful if not a requirement. ![]() Level 1 of our watchmaking course will see you working on a mechanical watch, which is also yours to keep upon completion of the course.I'm just an enthusiast but I'll share my thoughts on this anyway. Learning to take apart and re-assembling a watch within a day – think it is impossible? Think again. ![]()

Body mass index (BMI) is a medical screening tool that measures the ratio of your height to your weight to estimate the amount of body fat you have. ![]() The size selection of LMA based on the ideal body mass of the patients, determined according to their height and sex, can significantly improve the success rate of first LMA insertion in patients with low BMI. It is commonly used to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. Compared with those in the actual body mass group, the patients in the ideal body mass group used larger LMA ( P 0.05). Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on a person's weight and height. The success rate of first LMA insertion was significantly higher in ideal body mass group than in the actual body mass group (86.8% vs 68.1%, P=0.016). This ratio of weight to height is known as the body mass index (BMI). For adults, a healthy weight is defined as the appropriate body weight in relation to height. The success rate of first LMA insertion, overall success rate, fiberoptic visual field grade, leakage pressure, and LMA-related complications of the patients were recorded during the maintenance and recovery of anesthesia. BMI is an estimate of body fat and a good measure of your patients' risk for diseases that can occur with overweight and obesity. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers a free BMI calculator and height- and weight-based BMI chart. The patients were randomized divided into ideal body mass group and actual body mass group, in which the size of LMA was selected based on the ideal body mass and their actual body mass, respectively. Body mass index (BMI) is a rough estimate of body fat percentage. Enter your weight and height using standard or metric measures. For adults, a BMI of: 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal weight 25.0 to 29.9 is considered overweight 30.0 to 39.9 is considered obesity 40. ![]() Healthcare providers use BMI ranges to indicate a persons weight status. This study was performed in 137 patients aged 18-60 years with BMI below 18.5 kg/m 2, in whom discrepancies occurred in the selection of LMA size based on their actual body mass and the ideal body mass.

Examples of workless constraints are: rigid interconnections between particles, sliding motion on a frictionless surface, and rolling contact without slipping. įixed, frictionless constraint forces do not perform work on the system, as the angle between the motion and the constraint forces is always 90°. Thus the virtual work done by the forces of constraint is zero, a result which is only true if friction forces are excluded. It eliminates all displacements in that direction, that is, the velocity in the direction of the constraint is limited to 0, so that the constraint forces do not perform work on the system.įor a mechanical system, constraint forces eliminate movement in directions that characterize the constraint. For example, in the case of a slope plus gravity, the object is stuck to the slope and, when attached to a taut string, it cannot move in an outwards direction to make the string any 'tauter'. The work/energy principles discussed here are identical to electric work/energy principles.Ĭonstraint forces determine the object's displacement in the system, limiting it within a range. These formulas show that work is the energy associated with the action of a force, so work subsequently possesses the physical dimensions, and units, of energy. When the force F is constant and the angle θ between the force and the displacement s is also constant, then the work done is given by: The work done is given by the dot product of the two vectors. If the ball is thrown upwards, the work done by its weight is negative, and is equal to the weight multiplied by the displacement in the upwards direction.īoth force and displacement are vectors. ![]() įor example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is positive, and is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force. A force is said to do positive work if when applied it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. In its simplest form, for a constant force aligned with the direction of motion, the work equals the product of the force strength and the distance traveled. In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. ![]() ![]() When base current is removed the transistor becomes fully off, this stage is called as the Cut-off Region.Īs mentioned in the features of the S8050 transistor is commonly used in push pull configuration with Class B amplifier. This stage is called Saturation Region and the typical voltage allowed across the Collector-Emitter (VCE) or Collector-Base (VCB) could be 20V and 30V respectively. When this transistor is fully biased then it can allow a maximum of 700mA to flow across the collector and emitter. To bias a transistor we have to supply current to base pin, this current (IB) should be limited to 5mA. The maximum amount of current that could flow through the Collector pin is 700mA, hence we cannot drive loads that consume more than 700mA using this transistor. ![]() However at a normal operating collector current the typical value of gain will be 110. Since it is very high it is normally used for amplification purposes. It has a maximum gain value of 400 this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor normally S8050. S8050 is a NPN transistor hence the collector and emitter will be left open (Reverse biased) when the base pin is held at ground and will be closed (Forward biased) when a signal is provided to base pin. Note: Complete Technical Details can be found in the S8050 datasheet given at the end of this page.
