According to Johnny McTyre, vice president of McTyre Trucking, the skid was self-loaded onto a specialised trailer. The trailer was assembled around the cargo before using its hydraulics to lift the load to transport height.”As one of the largest and heaviest loads to ever be permitted over Ohio roadways, the most challenging aspect was simply the size of the transporter and negotiating through, around, over, and under the numerous obstructions on route,” McTyre explained.In order to execute the shipment, McTyre also had to arrange route surveys, coordinate with local and state officials, secure permits, and organise civilian and law enforcement escorts to accompany the load. www.mctyretrucking.com
LeoSat Enterprises, a dynamic young company is launching a unique new data network consisting of a constellation of up to 108 low-earth-orbit communications satellites. They have been awarded the authority by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide NGSO (non-geostationary satellite orbit) services in the United States.The increasing demand for business connectivity and with it, the need to move large quantities of data quickly and securely around the world, is fast outpacing the infrastructure in place to carry it. Existing networks are already carrying more than 1 Zeta Byte of traffic globally and this is set to grow exponentially.The FCC market access grant will allow LeoSat to address currently unmet demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, high-security data transmissions from large commercial and government customers in the United States. Designed as a backbone in space for global business, LeoSat’s data network will enable new opportunities for sectors such as enterprise-to-enterprise communications, telecommunications, oil & gas operations and maritime services, delivering premise-to-premise high-speed data (greater than 1 Gbps) with unmatched security to any location in the world. Moreover, whilst LeoSat’s core focus is solving essential business communications challenges, the unique design of LeoSat’s constellation means capacity will also be available to enable a new level of connectivity services for Internet and cellular backhaul for remote and underserved communities.Using optical inter-satellite links and on-board processing and operating in polar orbits at an altitude five times closer to the Earth than medium earth orbit satellites and 25 times closer than geostationary orbit (“GSO”) satellites, the LeoSat System offers numerous advantages with respect to high throughput, low latency, and full global coverage. These advantages, in turn, will allow LeoSat to provide enterprise-grade, highly secure data transmissions with up to 1.2 Gbps of full-duplex connectivity per link (and 5.2 Gbps where needed), along with low latency of less than 20 ms. The high-throughput satellites will form a mesh network interconnected through inter-satellite laser links, creating an optical backbone that is approximately 1.5 times faster than terrestrial fiber networks.For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the LeoSat system fulfil a critical communications need, for example, by giving banks, governments or research centers ultra-secure networks with global offices, providing significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas and mining exploration than is available today, enabling seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, or providing primary 4G and 5G satellite backhaul connectivity for cellular operators.LeoSat Highlights: Click here to learn more about LeoSat. Unique global data network using inter-satellite links to provide an MPLS network in space Optical backbone in space 1.5 times faster than terrestrial fiber Extremely-low latency and ultra-secure network Combining the speed of fiber with the reach of satellite

Operator stasiun York mengatakan angsa yang dijuluki Mother Goose ini pertama kali terlihat pada bulan lalu oleh Polisi Transportasi Inggris di Stasiun York. Dilansir KabarPenumpang.com dari laman bbc.com (4/5/2020), angsa ini beberapa waktu lalu sempat tak terlihat dan staf kereta api berpikir Mother Goose telah berpindah.Sebab angsa ini menghilang lebih dari sehari dan kemudian tiba-tiba kembali serta meletakkan empat telur di hamparan bunga di stasiun tempatnya biasa terlihat. Kehadiran angsa ini membuat staf stasiun memvideokan aktivitas hariannya dan mempostingnya secara online. Bahkan sejauh ini video tersebut telah dilihat sekitar 70 ribu kali.Stasiun York sendiri saat ini tengah berhenti beroperasi karena pembatasan pemerintah pada perjalanan yang mungkin telah menarik angsa untuk berpindah. Menurut dewan kota York, Greylag dan angsa Kanada sendiri sebenarnya pemandangan yang umum kota ini adalah rumah bagi sekitr 500 burung seperti itu. London North Eastern Railways (LNER) yang mengoperasikan stasiun sangat senang dengan kehadiran angsa ini.“Ini adalah kisah yang sangat indah, indah dan kita semua perlu ini dalam kehidupan kita saat ini. Dia datang dua minggu yang lalu dan sedikit melihat-lihat dan dia membuat dirinya sangat di rumah di tempat tidur bunga,” kata direktur komunikasi LNER Kate McFerran.Kate mengatakan staf menempatkan makanan dan air untuknya dan telah menempatkan pagar di sekitar tempat tidur bunga untuk keselamatan, tetapi dia “berperilaku sangat baik”. Dia mengatakan bahwa posting #GooseCam mereka di media sosial menunjukkan dia berpatroli di stasiun kereta api, kadang-kadang dengan seorang teman, dan menjaga telurnya.Baca juga: Aneh bin Ajaib!

It’s the first time I’ve won a title at a big event,” said Takeda.Hiromi Yumoto (1:39.99) made it a Japan 1-2 while South Korean Oh Jae Eun (1:40.88) took the bronze.On Sunday, veteran Kiminobu Kimura took gold for Japan in the men’s slalom.In the snowboarding competition, Japan’s Kohei Kawaguchi outpaced all would-be challengers to claim the gold in the men’s giant slalom.Kawaguchi raced down the piste in 1 minute, 9.78 seconds to take the lead after the first run and held out to finish with an overall time of 2:22.44 as the host nation completed a podium sweep at the Sunshine Course in Ajigasawa.Teruumi Fujimoto and Kentaro Tsuruoka took silver and bronze, respectively, with times of 2:24.47 and 2:24.52.The 20-year-old Kawaguchi, whose best finish on the World Cup circuit is 18th, attacked the gates aggressively as he extended a gap to more than two seconds on runnerup Fujimoto after two runs.“I didn’t make any big mistakes today and that led to my victory,” said Kawaguchi. “The way the gates were set up gave me some trouble on the runs but I was able to stay on the grooves. I’d like to become No. 1 in the world next time,” he added.In the opening event of the men’s biathlon, Hironao Meguro led a Japanese sweep in the 10 km competition.Despite missing a disappointing three targets in the shooting, Meguro comfortably claimed the gold, finishing 34.5 seconds clear of compatriot and fellow Self-Defense Forces teammate Sunao Noto, who had to settle for silver.“It’s the first time I’ve competed at the Asian Games, but it feels the same as the Olympics. Winning the gold medal will be a big confidence boost,” said Meguro.Tatsumi Kasahara ensured Japan gained a monopoly of the podium after placing third a further 31 seconds back.Japan also took home gold in the women’s 7.5-km race, with Tamami Tanaka finishing 13 seconds ahead of China’s Kong Yingchao.“I didn’t feel too much pressure and was in great form,” said Tanaka, who achieved the best result ever by a Japanese biathlete when she finished fourth in the 15 km at the 2000 world championships.In cross country skiing, Maxim Odnodvortsev of Kazakstan clinched the gold in the men’s 15-km freestyle to add to his country’s gold medal collection, while Japan’s Masaaki Kozu won the silver.Odnodvortsev, who earned the silver in the 10-km classical for one of six medals won by Kazakstan at the Owani course a day earlier, crossed the finish line in 35 minutes, 54.3 seconds.Kozu clocked 36:01.2 as he stopped the Kazaks’ monopoly of cross country medals.“I had to win the race. Being runnerup is the same as being third or fourth,” said Kozu, falling flat on his back after the race.Zhang Chengye of China won the bronze with a time of 36:13.7 and Hiroyuki Imai of Japan was fourth at 36:49.4.
