No digital camera is (or can be made) explosion proof. This means that they cannot be used in a volatile atmosphere, one that would react in a catastrophic manner to the presence of a spark.

explosion proof motor should be used any time the blower is operated in an explosive environment. There are different grades of explosion proof motors based upon the type of environment. Be sure to specify the type of environment that the blower will operate within when ordering an explosion proof motor. See similar questions...

Yes. Explosion proof motors are available on most Tempest electric models. Be sure to specify this when you place your order. If you require an “intrinsically safe” blower, please consult with our Customer Service Department. See similar questions...

Some cameras are designed for this, so you should check your manual. It's rare to find this feature in high quality digital cameras, but lower quality multifunction cameras with CMOS sensors sometimes offer this. See, for example, AipTek. If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.

The good news is, unless you are shooting close-up pictures of jewelry, you don't need an expensive camera to take good product shots. If you are shooting pictures for use on websites and not for print, you can get a good camera for less than $200. The quality of your images is going to depend much less on the sophistication of your camera and much more on your lighting and how well you operate the camera. See similar questions...

Probably, but depending upon your camera's support for standard external flashes, it may require some persistence and some workarounds: See similar questions...

Many manufacturers offer proprietary lithium ion battery systems with their cameras. These are very sophisticated batteries with very long life. Sony's Infolithium battery system is perhaps the best example of this technology. In addition to offering very long life, this system can give an accurate measurement of the amount of operating time left on a charge. The negative side of lithium ion battery systems is that these proprietary systems tend to be very expensive. See similar questions...

The features that make a good camera for product photography are not necessarily the features that are important for other types of photography like portraits or everyday family photos. That's not to say that the camera you choose for product photography won't work well for other uses, but you may weight the relative importance of the various features differently.

Camcorders can only be checked out for school projects with permission from the Audio-Visual Supervisor. Currently there are no digital cameras to check out. Tape recorders are for building use only. The CopyCat in the Learning Commons has digital cameras and camcorders you can rent. For pricing and other questions please call their extension at 2990. Do you have a color printer? How much does it cost? There is a color printer available to print to in the Learning Commons. See similar questions...

Any good still camera with S-Video will be okay. You will also need a video card with the S-Video / Composite input (for example Radeon 9200) or a USB adapter(for example Belkin F5U208). See similar questions...

Only specially designed circulators are suitable for operation in hazardous areas. The necessary components—such as EEx-protected driving motor for the circulating pump, electrical heater, operating and control devices—are unsuitable for conventional laboratory circulators because of their size and cost. EEx-protected circulators are therefore usually much larger than laboratory units but also more powerful. See similar questions...

For safety reasons, an engineer wants to know how long it takes for a drive's DC Bus to dissipate once the main power is disconnected. In theory, the drive's bus will never dissipate completely due to the logarithmic behavior of the DC Bus capacitor but in actuality we can do the calculations based on a final voltage that approaches zero volts. The minimum amount of time required before the drive dissipates the voltage can be worked out as follows: Motor Resistance (D062M) = Rm = 3. See similar questions...

There are two philosophies that are applied here the first is that if an explosion occurs our box will contain it (explosion proof) and the second is that an explosion will not occur because there are no hazardous gases present to ignite the explosion (Purging). What needs to be evaluated is the cost of maintaining the products. If the box is constantly exploding the product inside the box will need to be replaced. See similar questions...

Although the small size of the individual pixels in CCD, CMOS, and Live-MOS image sensors enables them to capture even more detail than film, the sensitivity of the sensor elements is highly directional. That is, they respond best to light that strikes the elements straight on. With lenses designed for use with film, the light rays passing through the periphery of the lens strike the image sensor at an angle, and this tends to degrade picture quality at the periphery of the image area.

Codecs allow Windows and many applications to view your RAW files. They are provided and maintained by the camera manufacturers. You can find codecs for the files in your Gallery by going to the 'File' menu in the Photo Gallery, and pressing the 'Check for updates' button in the 'Options Dialog'. If there are codecs available for files that you have in your Gallery, a web page will open with a link to download the codec. See similar questions...
