The constant research carried out by Tif Elettronica in the access control and automation sector has allowed the development of a range of patented pop-up deterrents called PILOMAT [registered trade mark] PASS that allow tranquility to return to city centres. The PILOMAT PASS roadblocks and/or parking deterrents are cylindrical bollards... that disappear into a hole in the ground, performing the function of genuine deterrents, guaranteeing pedestrian access but blocking road traffic without altering the character of the area since they can be raised and lowered automatically or manually at set times or for authorised vehicles only(e. g. residents, shuttle buses, emergency vehicles) for access to and transit of : historic town centres, residential areas, pedestrian areas, open markets, central restricted traffic streets, squares, roads and streets in general private driveways, hospital and hotel entrances, shopping centres car-parks and similar, wherever the use of gates, bars chains or similar is not practical.

Les banlieues américaines récentes, dont les rues possèdent des tracés compliqués pour décourager les automobilistes qui n'y ont pas leur destination, connaissent un calme remarquable.

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments

DEF

Device that sends an audible signal when system is low in refrigerant.

CONT

We have an electronic sight glass that I use if the receiver dryer does not have a sight glass. It seems to be fairly accurate. You clamp in on the high pressure line shortly after the condenser. It will tell you if you are low on refrigerant but it won’t help you find the leak. If you are determined to get a sight glass it is cheaper to put an inline one in after the receiver dryer or find a dryer with a sight glass in it already.

CONT

CONT

Tax increment financing(TIF) offers a development tool for local governments to finance redevelopment projects for central business districts. TIF programs use increased property tax revenues generated by redevelopment to finance a portion of the costs associated with the project. Some advantages of TIF are : 1. Significant capital is provided to economically feasible development projects. 2. Tax revenues collected prior to the development program are retained. 3. Property owners do not pay more than the normal tax burden. 4. Tax increment bonds are not counted against the city's bonded indebtedness. 5. Upon project completion and bond retirement, the full tax base and revenues become available to all taxing bodies.
