Cooking fresh sweet corn in boiling water is simple: Shuck the corn. Bring water to a boil in a large pot and boil the corn for five to 10 minutes, depending on how soft you like your corn. You can cook fresh sweet corn in the microwave in just minutes. Shuck the ears and wrap them in plastic cling wrap. Microwave them for 90 seconds per ear.
PDC drill bits. Polycrystalline diamond materials, for use in polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits, are one of the most important material advances for oil drilling tools in recent years. Fixed-head bits rotate as one piece and contain no separately moving parts. When fixed-head bits use PDC cutters, they are commonly called PDC bits.
Machine grade polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent amorphous thermoplastic which offers very high impact strength and high modulus of elasticity. The material has a 290Â°F (145Â°C) heat deflection temperature at 264 psi, absorbs very little moisture and resists acidic solutions. These properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make machine grade polycarbonate stock shapes an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications.
