Texas Border Patrol Discovers 20 Immigrants Hiding Under A Trailer Truck’s Floorboards
KEY POINTS
Three more migrants were found hiding inside a truck
The Border Patrol chief said these smuggling attempts can easily become dangerous
Border Patrol agents on Tuesday discovered 20 undocumented immigrants crammed inside a trailer during an inspection at a Texas checkpoint.
Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero of the Del Rio Sector said in a tweet that 18 adults and two children, aged 10 and 15, were found trapped under the trailer floorboards. According to Skero, a police dog alerted the agents of the trailer’s hidden passengers.
Photos posted by the United States Border Patrol agent showed the undocumented immigrants lying down alongside each other with seemingly no more room to move.
KA Imaging’s Flat Panel Sight™ Receives Medical Device Licence from Health Canada
KA Imaging’s Flat Panel Sight™ has received a Canadian Medical Device Licence from Health Canada. With the licence, the X-ray detector can be officially sold in Canada.
Among its main features, Sight™ can be called featherweight, as it weighs only 2.7 kilos in its 38 X 46cm version and 3.2 kilos in its 46 X 46cm version. In addition, Sight has a Wi-Fi option with a two-second image transfer. It is also IPX6 rated for water. AED allows use with any system.
“Sight™ is a powerful and affordable solution in the medical and veterinary fields”, says Karim S Karim, CTO of KA Imaging. “It is a product that came to complement KA’s line of solutions, so we can better address the different needs of radiologists, considering both technological and financial aspects,” says Amol Karnick, President and CEO of KA Imaging.
The global pandemic has drastically changed working practices, with many researchers now undertaking ambitious analyses from home and pushing back the frontiers of science from their kitchen table.
Long before lockdowns and the move to working from home, automation of Kratos X-ray photoelectron spectrometers was developed with the goal of increasing sample analysis throughput. This feature has naturally become a significant asset over the past year.
This article explores the value of automated sample handling, as well as a number of other aspects of automation that can be used to conduct sample surface analysis remotely.
It should be noted that automated sample
Every planet in the Solar System has its idiosyncrasies, but Uranus is, truly, one of a kind.
Not only is it tipped sideways so its rotational axis is practically parallel to its orbital plane, it smells terrible, it s leaking everywhere, its magnetic field is an utter mess, and it has rings unlike any other planetary rings in the Solar System.
But wait, there s more. Around 20 years ago, astronomers turned their instruments to capture X-ray emissions coming from Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Unlike every planet before it, Uranus had nary a flash to be seen.
Now, for the first time, we ve detected X-rays emanating from the Solar System s oddest ball, and it s not quite clear where they re coming from or what they mean.
