2011 National Electrical Code NEC
News
Adopted in all 50 states, NFPA 70: National Electrical Code has saved untold lives with comprehensive requirements for electrical wiring and equipment. When the Code advances to incorporate new technologies, you cannot afford to fall behind! You need the 2011 NEC to safeguard people and property, and avoid violations. Major changes in the 2011 NEC meet consumer demand for alternate energy, green technologies, and IT equipment: New Article 694 has first-time requirements for small wind electric systems.
Revised Article 625 includes updates on safe battery charging for plug-in hybrid vehicles that reduce the risk of explosion.
Revised Article 705 covers interconnecting generators, windmills, and solar and fuel cells with other power supplies.
New Article 840 addresses the increased demand for broadband communications systems with requirements for wireless, routers, and wireless disconnects.

Consecutive asymmetric divisions of individual radial glial progenitor cells produce a number of sister excitatory neurons that migrate along the elongated radial glial fibre, resulting in the formation of ontogenetic columns. Moreover, sister excitatory neurons in ontogenetic columns preferentially develop specific chemical synapses with each other rather than with nearby non-siblings. Although these findings provide crucial insight into the emergence of functional columns in the neocortex, little is known about the basis of this lineage-dependent assembly of excitatory neuron microcircuits at single-cell resolution. Here we show that transient electrical coupling between radially aligned sister excitatory neurons regulates the subsequent formation of specific chemical synapses in the neocortex. Multiple-electrode whole-cell recordings showed that sister excitatory neurons preferentially form strong electrical coupling with each other rather than with adjacent non-sister excitatory neurons during early postnatal stages. This preferential coupling allows selective electrical communication between sister excitatory neurons, promoting their action potential generation and synchronous firing. Interestingly, although this electrical communication largely disappears before the appearance of chemical synapses, blockade of the electrical communication impairs the subsequent formation of specific chemical synapses between sister excitatory neurons in ontogenetic columns. These results suggest a strong link between lineage-dependent transient electrical coupling and the assembly of precise excitatory neuron microcircuits in the neocortex.

Metro says electrical short part of problem in doors opening unexpectedly on trains From feeds.washingtonpost Metro said Friday that it believes an electrical short between two rail cars was part of the problem that lead to doors unexpectedly opening Tuesday on two rail cars as the train was moving. On Friday, Metro said the transit agencyas investigation team had replicated the incident in a rail yard and found that there was a amisalignment of the contact head that transfers information between two cars.a That created an electrical short and caused the door to open, Metro officials said.
