Totem Acoustic introduces three new products in the KIN Architectural IC series designed to address space and depth constraints without compromising sound quality. The Ultra Slim model, with its flat cone woofer and stainless steel construction, delivers exceptional sound in high-humidity environments. The IC8 and IC6 models are purposely configured to be shallow, making them suitable for tight spaces and obstructed areas, without sacrificing performance. The I82s and I62s feature an MHEX cone structure for smooth transience and a robust cast frame basket for enhanced power and movement. All three series offer stainless steel components, rust-resistant grills, and impressive sound quality. The stereo unit stands out with its independent tweeter crossovers, providing a full two-channel system experience.

We're proud to introduce at this city, an ultra slim model that is barely two inches deep. And this institution of sound coming from this small enclosure is made possible because of the special construction. We have a flat cone wafer. We have a tweeter that disperses beautifully even with a flat cone wood fur on the other side. But we also have stainless steel apparatus on it, So in a high humidity environment, you can enjoy it and you can put it in environments where normally you wouldn't put a a standard in ceiling speaker. So if you have a space restriction in the back, the two inch speaker will fit in there. And you don't suffer from a sound perspective because in mids and highs, as all totem speakers prove, it is very expensive. You have to think as a totem sound as someone talking you. That's the way as totem speaker sounds. It doesn't sound like something that is beaming at you. These are three bread and butter series that we have in the totem line, the ultra slim, which solves space issues, and depth issues in ceilings. But the attributes of these speakers are all the same. The totem sound exists in all three different models. Their particularities is that this one is the slimmest. These ones, the I c eight and the I c six, this year have been purposely configured to be also very shallow with the crossover underneath the backplate. Therefore, The speaker can be put in very tight environments and in environments where there's obstructions. And they can be pressed against there without sacrificing quality of sound and also performance. The eight twos and six twos have a different cone structure that has we call it an Emhex comb that is stiffer than steel. Yet doesn't ring like metal or any type of very hard object. So you have a smooth transience. One particularity, of course, of the eight two and six two is that it has a huge cast frame basket. And that huge gas brain basket allows the woofer to move much more adequately and with much more power than with a substandard or a standard type of enclosure. The spider is actually just as large as the cone in this particular So we have three series that really will suffice for most applications. Now these are the standard ground and ceiling people put in their home. But again, the beauty of these in ceilings is that they all have stainless steel type of screws on them. They have grills that are meant to be put in high humidity environments and don't rust. And, of course, you have the fantastic sound quality that is available. From them. We justifiably show the back part first because that's important for people doing install. If you notice that the front part of the speakers are just as wonderfully finished, and they all have a purpose. In the ultra slim, you'll notice that the cone is flat, but that the dispersion is equal to any other type of diaphragm that is out there. And we've incorporated two phase units in the front of the tweeter, so you have sixty, seventy degrees off axis performance on this. On the subsequent units, And I'd like to highlight also the stereo unit here because in the back, you can't tell that it is a stereo unit. But the stereo unit sounds like a full two channel system. And I believe that we are the only people in the industry that in this stereo unit, have a different crossover for each Twitter. Therefore, the Twitter operates as a full independent unit for each channel, and they don't cancel out in any way. You notice that the magnetic grills and the micro perf on it is very attractive and also extremely shallow.

What a tilt-up credential tells you about a project supervisor

The ACI/TCA program separates examination knowledge from verified field experience. That distinction helps teams review qualifications more clearly.

  • 01Technician certification establishes the written-examination requirement.
  • 02Supervisor certification also requires verified construction, tilt-up and supervisory experience.
  • 03Match the exact credential and relevant work history to the responsibility being considered.

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia will design and implement the industrial effluent treatment plant for Arauco's US$4.6 billion Sucuriú pulp mill in Inocência, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant will be capable of treating 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour. Veolia says the organic load is equivalent to that of a municipality of 3 million inhabitants. It will use its biofilm activated sludge process, which aims to maximize treatment capacity within a compact footprint, ahead of the mill's expected late 2027 start of operations.

  • 01The plant will treat 10,600 cubic meters an hour at a 3.5 million-tonnes-a-year mill, with wording that suggests a reference design for next-generation builds.
  • 02Veolia’s design targets a compact footprint and includes belt presses to dewater sludge, making sludge handling part of the treatment system.

Case says its updated small dozers keep the same engine, with changes centered on cab controls, a new display and operator customization.

  • 01With the engine unchanged, the M-to-N story is cab controls, operator profiles and improved sightlines.
  • 02With the 650N now on electric-over-hydraulic blade control, Case says its entire dozer lineup uses EH blade control.
