Important Elements of Small Business Cards

Business cards are printed cards carrying personal business information of an individual or an organization. They are mostly shared during official introductions as an efficient memory aid and a convenience. They have gained popularity as modern instruments that facilitate communication, promote brand awareness and provide important details to the public in an easy and convenient way. Their value has increased with the increasing usage of computers and the increasing use of smart phones for communication. The appearance of business cards is an important factor that influences people's perceptions of the company's professional image. The basic design of the business cards is the layout of the name and contact details in the centre. There are other less common layouts such as triangular format or the white border format that do not impress the viewer. The business card's colour should be neat, professional, simple and concise. The text on the business cards should be short a...

Blender

Image
A blender (sometimes called a liquidiser in British English) is a kitchen and laboratory appliance used to mix, purée, or emulsify food and other substances. A stationary blender consists of a blender container with a rotating metal blade at the bottom, powered by an electric motor that is in the base. Some powerful models can also crush ice and other frozen foods. The newer immersion blender configuration has a motor on top connected by a shaft to a rotating blade at the bottom, which can be used with any container.

Characteristics

Image
Different blenders have different functions and features but product testing indicates that many blenders, even the less expensive ones, are useful for meeting many consumer needs. Features which consumers consider when purchasing a blender include the following: large visible measurement marks ease of use low noise during usage power usage (typically 300–1000 watts) ease of cleaning option for quick "pulse" blending Countertop blenders edit Countertop blenders use a 1–2 liters (4–8 cups) blending container made of glass, plastic, stainless steel. Glass blenders are heavier and more stable. Plastic is prone to scratching and absorbing the smell of blended food. Stainless steel is preferred for its looks, but limits visibility of the food as it is blended. Countertop blenders typically offer 3–16 speed settings, but having more choices in speed settings is not an indication of increased utility for all users. In cases where the blades are removable, the container should h...

Applications

Image
Countertop blenders are designed to mix, purée, and chop food. Their strength is such that the ability to crush ice is an expected feature. Blenders are used both in home and commercial kitchens for various purposes, including to: Grind semi-solid ingredients, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, into smooth purées Blend ice cream, milk, and sweet sauces to make milkshakes Mix and crush ice in cocktails such as the Zombie, piña colada and frozen margarita Crush ice and other ingredients in non-alcoholic drinks such as frappuccinos and smoothies Emulsify mixtures Reduce small solids such as spices and seeds to smaller solids or completely powder or nut butter Blend mixtures of powders, granules, and/or liquids thoroughly Help dissolve solids into liquids Blenders also have a variety of applications in microbiology and food science. In addition to standard food-type blenders, there is a variety of other configurations of blender for laboratories.

Development

Image
North America edit The Polish-American chemist Stephen Poplawski, owner of the Stevens Electric Company, began designing drink mixers in 1919 under a contract with Arnold Electric Company, and patented the drink mixer in 1922 which had been designed to make Horlicks malted milkshakes at soda fountains. He also introduced the liquefier blender in 1922. In the 1930s, L. Hamilton, Chester Beach and Fred Osius, produced Poplawski's invention under the brand name Hamilton Beach Company. Fred Osius improved the appliance, making another kind of blender. He approached Fred Waring, a popular musician, who financed and promoted the "Miracle Mixer", released in 1933. However the appliance had some problems to be solved about the seal of the jar and the knife axis, so Fred Waring redesigned the appliance and released his own blender in 1937, the Waring Blendor with which Waring popularized the smoothie in the 1940s. Waring Products was sold to Dynamics Corporation of America in 195...

Mechanical operation

A blender consists of a housing, motor, blades, and food container. A fan-cooled electric motor is secured into the housing by way of vibration dampers, and a small output shaft penetrates the upper housing and meshes with the blade assembly. Usually, a small rubber washer provides a seal around the output shaft to prevent liquid from entering the motor. Most blenders today have multiple speeds. As a typical blender has no gearbox, the multiple speeds are often implemented using a universal motor with multiple stator windings and/or multi-tapped stator windings; in a blender with electromechanical controls, the button (or other electrical switching device or position) for each different speed connects a different stator winding/tap or combination thereof. Each different combination of energized windings produces a different torque from the motor, which yields a different equilibrium speed in balance against the drag (resistance to rotation) of the blade assembly in contact with the...
