100K GM Cars Recalled Due to Seatbelt Issues

Nearly 100,000 General Motors SUVs are being recalled by the Detroit automaker which said the cars’ seat belts could fail, according to the National Highway Transportation Security Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects 97,843 GM cars, including the 2011 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox, and GMC Terrain Vehicles.
The NHTSA and GM said that the driver’s and the front passenger’s seat belt buckle anchor could break, rendering it useless in a crash. The NHTSA warned on its website that the cars’ “safety belt system may not restrain the occupant(s) as designed and could increase the risk of injury.”
According to CNN, the seat belt issue was discovered during September tests done by General Motors. Two failures of the seat belt system during tests prompted the recall. Both incidents came from the driver’s side seat belt. The same system is used for the front passenger side as well.
The mass recall will start in mid-January, ABC News reported.
Owners of the above vehicles are urged to call their appropriate car dealers at Cadillac (1-866-982-2339), Chevrolet (1-800-630-2438), or GMC (1-866-996-9463) or visit the GM owner center online at http://www.gmownercenter.com/.

The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, a device dubbed the “BlackPad” that represents RIM's foray into the tablet market, may launch in February or March of next year, RIM’s vice president of investor relations Edel Ebbs said on Thursday in a conference call. http://www.suspended-access.com/

“The PlayBook is expected to begin shipping in the United States in the first calendar of 2011, [with] rollout in other international markets following thereafter,” Ebbs said in the call. The transcript is on SeekingAlpha.com.
However, Ebbs said in RIM’s Q3 earnings conference call that the Canadian consumer electronics company foresees “no PlayBook revenues included in our Q4 guidance and we expect the first revenue impact from PlayBook to be in RIM’s first [fiscal] quarter” which begins in March.
RIM unveiled the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet along with the BlackBerry Tablet OS in September, saying then that it would be available in “early 2011,” according to CNET.com.
Initially, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will be Wi-Fi only and have a “fast, powerful dual-core processor and full support for HTML5, JavaScript, WebWorks, Flash, and Adobe AIR,” Jim Balsillie, RIM’s co-CEO, said during the call, adding, “The PlayBook redefines what a tablet should do.”
According to tech blog Engadget, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will sport a 7-inch 1024 by 600 resolution multi-touch screen, run a 1GHz processor, have 1GB of RAM, with two cameras (3MP front-facing and 5MP rear-facing with video).
With its “BlackBerry” trademark, RIM is attempting to market the device as a more business-oriented device to the more leisure-oriented iPad, hoping to carve into Apple’s 95 percent share in the tablet market, according to ComputerWorld, which cited a Strategy Analytics report.

Application of suspended platform in aerial work

Senior outer wall project includes building cleaning, exterior wall cleaning, curtain wall clean, high-rise exterior wall paint and aerial advertising installation etc. This paper mainly introduces the application of suspended platform in external wall cleaning.

According to the characteristics of high-rise building, the main equipments that are used in exterior wall cleaning include three kinds as below:

1. Building Maintenance Unit, also is called BMU

2. Suspended power platform or suspended platform

3. Hanger plate.

The BMU is special equipment for outer wall cleaning in high-rise building. Its main purpose is cleaning exterior wall of modern high-rise building, which change the traditional suspended work operation into automatic, efficient, high quality mechanical operation. It is the latest generation of powerful outer wall cleaning robot, and fills up the blank from domestic to overseas in high-rise building exterior wall maintenance. In China, some of senior high-grade constructions which were built in 80-1990s were designed by foreign architect and they had considered the installation of BMU since then and adopt abroad BMU to maintenance building. These efforts have laid a good foundation for building cleaning. But since 1990s, there are many buildings had not considered the application of BMU when they were designed and some of them can not be installed BMU, at the same time, BUM does not belong to standard products and also often bring higher cost, all of those lead to BMU has not been widely used.

Because of hanger plate’s flexibility, it is widely adopted by world. However, as its risk in operation and often appear accident, the hanger plate has been more and more replaced by suspended platform. We believe this is a tendency of development. Now, including China, many places have already stipulated that in aerial work cleaning, workers must use suspended platform (www.suspended-access.com)and forbid the use of hanger plate.

The suspended platform is a new type of aloft working machinery. Because of it’s operate smoothly, comfort, safety, energy saving etc, it has been widely used in domestic decoration and cleaning industry.

The main materials of exterior wall include glass curtain wall, composite aluminum-plastic plate, marble, granite, mosaic, ceramics, drying sticky stone, granitic plaster stone and so on. Due to the dust, grease and erosion caused by acid rain (fog), the new buildings often become smudgy in short time and make so more in some serious air pollution city.

According to the weight-bearing ability, the suspended platform can be divided into 1000kgs, 800kgs, 600kgs, 500kgs and 250kgs etc. According to the length of platform, it contains 10m, 7.5m, 6m, 4m, 2m and so on. The length of platform can be assembled to suit for different request. Now the main types that are usually used in cleaning industry include ZLP630 and ZLP250 and the length ranged from 6 to 10 meters is more popular.

Preparation work before construction

1.       Check the work site and assure the plan.

Check the roof condition and ensure that it can be installed suspended platform and sure the movement has no obstacle like neon lights and billboard. The engineers confirm well construction plan.

2.  To ensure the construction environment without wind, snow and high temperature, low temperature phenomenon. The wind in site should less than 6 levels.

3.  Prepare cleaning tools such as bucket, gun, towels and sucker etc.

4.  Two workers carry cleaning tools and supplies into platform and fasten safety belts.

Do safety inspection before operation.

1.            To check the each parts in suspended platform, exam if the fasteners, fittings, hoister, and safety protection devices in good state and confirm no hidden dangerous before work.

2.            To check whether the suspension mechanism installed on roof, fasteners, drawing rope are firm and confirm no hidden trouble in operation.

3.            To check the length of safety rope and see if there were any damage or broken stocks on it.

4.            Fixed the safety rope and confirm the length is more than building height.

5.            To check the insurance belt employee used no damage.

6.            To check if the safety lock are flexible and reliable.

7.            To check if the fixed position where the safety rope joined on the top of building is firmly. 

8.            To check if the staff dresses meet the following requirements: wearing a helmet and wearing long-sleeved work jacket and long pants. In corrosive environment, let workers wear corrosion-resistant clothes and shoes with soft bottom, which also features of corrosion-resistant.

9.            To check if the junction between safety rope and building parapet has the liners. If found no, we shall be stop working immediately.

10.         The employee’s self-lock device installed on insurance belt should be knotted on safety rope, not buckle in suspended platform.

11.         Please set up the fence in operation area and arrange one ground security officer to preventing pedestrians.

If no security officer or protecting fence, we should stop the work.

12.         Check the attitude of workers who operate in top of buildings, if have some problems, stop working.

Operation process

1. Use water gun to wash corners and remove dust.

2. Dip spreader into barrels and after it fully absorb sanitizer, we smear evenly on the surface of glass. Later use wiper scrape glass up and down including window frame and corners. Ensure to pull crossly and no miss some small place and then use towel dry it.

3. After finishing one position, let the platform move to the below site and when end the cleaning from top to bottom, we turn left or right to adjacent position and continue to work from top to bottom again.

4. After finishing total work, sorting machines and tools and remove fences and billboard and clean the water on ground.

5. Cleaning and maintenance equipments and after removing dust and dirt we pack the device in warehouse.
