Well know for their large hydraulic equipment Power Team has built portable high tonnage jacks specific for lifting rail cars and heavy equipment. The jacks range from 60 to 200 tons and are powered by air or electric. There are several different options such as pumps, height, tonnage, remote control and other features that can be customized but most commonly units are ordered in pre-configured arrangements. Some times known as power risers or power lifts the portable lifts are easy to maneuver around while still capable of lifts incredible amounts of weight.
Models PLE6014 & PLA6014 are specifically built as “Railroad Edition” models for maintenance on locomotives and railcars. The jacks come equipped with extensions to match most applications with up to a maximum lifting height of 70”. Both units also feature 20 ft remote controls, adjustable handle, foam filled tires and patented lowering valves for smooth, safe lowering. The main difference is the PLE6014 is powered by 1-1/8 HP 110/115 VAC using 25 amps of electric power. The PLA6014 is powered by a rotary air pump which uses 50 CFM at 80 psi.

A dated or worn floor can instantly bring down any room. However, just as a bad floor can spell disaster for a roomâ??s look, a fresh, updated floor can instantly add interest and pizzazz.
Take a walk through your local home improvement center and you will begin to see that flooring options for todayâ??s homes are [...]

Warm on the heels of its
T30 PMP, Nextar is getting official with two new GPS units in its ever-expanding SNAP family. Up first is the SNAP5 -- which predictably includes a 5-inch touch panel -- followed by the 7-inch SNAP7. Both devices check in at just 0.7-inches thick and feature stereo speakers, text-to-speech support, US / Canada Tele Atlas maps, an SD card slot, a built-in MP3 player / JPEG viewer, 2D / 3D map viewing modes, a rechargeable Li-ion battery and a magnetic docking station (hence the SNAP moniker -- get it?!). The duo is all set to debut at SEMA 2008 in early November, but they won't go on sale in the US until Spring of 2009; at that point, you can grab the SNAP of your choice for $299.99 / $349.99, respectively. Full release is after the break.

I think the best way to handle this is for anyone interested to submit a proposal via e-mail to me about the boot menu. Then, I can put up the pictures on the blog for people to comment and have an opinion about. We can then figure out which one to use or maybe some combination of proposals or in any case, figure it out in a collaborative community style process.
I don't really have an opinion on what the logo should look like, whether it should be cartoony or not. I only think it should look good. =P
There are very few technical constraints on the boot menu. I'm willing to figure out whatever technical solution there needs be in order to get things to display properly. One thing to keep in mind is that space on the NOR is at a significant premium, and raw pixel data is expensive but procedurally generated stuff like gradients are possible. The only two current menu options are the iPhone OS and the openiboot console, but eventually a Linux option will be added. I can try animation as well, but again, you'd have to have an idea of how it can be done without using up a lot of NOR space.
But yeah, make us pretty!
Some progress on the NAND: Thanks to a huge amount of initial grunt work by CPICH, the NAND project is off the ground. We already have enough to get the proper drive geometries, and I've written and tested the DMA routines that are near the heart of the problem today. Hopefully, we can dump the raw NAND soon and take a peek at what kind of wear leveling data structures we're dealing with.
