Arthur D. Little Unveils Advanced Testing Device to Help Develop Safe Products, Prevent Industrial Accidents.Business/Technology Editors CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2001 Arthur D. Little Arthur D. Little, Inc. is the world's first management consulting firm. Founded in 1886 by Arthur Dehon Little, an MIT chemist who discovered acetate, and co-worker Roger Griffin, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Arthur D. Little pioneered the concept of contracted technology research. , Inc. today unveiled an advanced testing device - the NEW ARC(R)adiabatic ad·i·a·bat·ic adj. Of, relating to, or being a reversible thermodynamic process that occurs without gain or loss of heat and without a change in entropy. calorimeter calorimeter: see calorimetry. calorimeter Device for measuring heat produced during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction and for calculating the heat capacity of materials. -- that provides a new level of reliability and accuracy in the prediction and prevention of industrial accidents. "ADL's original version of the device - the ARC - is a trusted tool used by OSHA OSHA n. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a branch of the US Department of Labor responsible for establishing and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. , the EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA abbr. eicosapentaenoic acid EPA, n.pr See acid, eicosapentaenoic. EPA, n. and similar agencies around the world to determine industrial safety. Data gathered from the ARC has helped prevent numerous accidents in the chemical industry which could have led to loss of life, equipment damage, and the release of toxins into the environment." said Peter Ralbovsky, operations manager See datacenter manager. of the ADL design team. "This new advanced ARC will only improve those results. Based on 20 years customer experience, it is the most accurate and reliable adiabatic calorimeter available today." Adiabatic calorimeters measure heat emitted from chemicals, batteries, capacitors and other portable energy-producing products to determine their thermodynamic ther·mo·dy·nam·ic adj. 1. Characteristic of or resulting from the conversion of heat into other forms of energy. 2. Of or relating to thermodynamics. and kinetic properties. They are used to simulate the conditions in various chemical reactions This is the 18th episode of television drama Men in Trees. It originally aired on June 25, 2007 on the TV2 network in New Zealand as a continuation of season 1. Recap Marin and Cash have a stew cook off, she admits his is better than hers. and then collect and interpret the data from these reactions. Industries, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and energy, as well as the military and government agencies and laboratories, use adiabatic calorimeters to study thermal hazards, chemical kinetics, storage and transportation issues, process interruptions, and chemical process design. Adiabatic calorimeters are also used to investigate accidents and develop air bags, rechargeable batteries, spacecraft and rocket propulsion. Ralbovsky said 20 years of customer experience went into the newly designed ARC(R) System. This version, with its increased power base, is able to simulate reactions at higher temperatures and pressures. It can also more accurately mimic what happens in a chemical process and test a broader range of materials, including liquids, solids, and gases. Both large and small exothermic exothermic /exo·ther·mic/ (-ther´mik) marked or accompanied by evolution of heat; liberating heat or energy. ex·o·ther·mic or ex·o·ther·mal adj. 1. reactions are easier to measure and test in the NEW ARC(R) and the experiment and data collection stages are faster by a factor of ten. The new software system allows the user to set-up the system, then walk away. Arthur D. Little, one of the world's premier management and technology consulting firms, will market the new ARC 2000 to its major clients in the pharmaceuticals, chemical, and energy industries, as well as to government agencies.
