SCIENCE AT BALL AEROSPACE
Ball Aerospace has worked behind-the-scenes in support of scientists in the astrophysics, planetary, earth science and solar communities for more than 50 years. The company supports scientists through all phases of mission development – from mission concept, to technology demonstration, to data delivery.
Ball Aerospace was founded by physicists from the University of Colorado who developed key technologies for accurately pointing sounding rockets. Since the company’s beginnings in 1956, many of our talented employees are scientist/engineershave worked with science teams to design, build and test instruments and spacecraft.
Based on its innovative and collaborative culture, Ball is often called the “Scientists’ Aerospace Company.
For the James Webb Space Telescope, we applied our expertise in cryogenics to enable allow the infrared telescope, the mirrors and actuators to function at temperatures as low as -400 degrees Fahrenheit (33 K). Because the James Webb mirrors need to act as a single mirror on-orbit, we developed high-precision cryogenic actuators. Working with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, we developed wavefront sensing and control techniques to align the 18 mirror segments to an accuracy of <20 nanometers.
For the Kepler mission, we designed and built the largest telescope NASA has ever flown in space. Kepler features a 1.45-meter-diameter mirror and an advanced focal plane with 42 CCDs and a total of 95 million pixels.
For the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explore (WISE) mission, Ball designed, built and tested the spacecraft and conducted flight system testing and support operations.
For the Hubble Space Telescope, Ball built COSTAR, the instrument that corrected the telescope’s flawed optics. Ball built all of Hubble’s current main instruments, bringing our total instrument contribution to Hubble to seven.
These missions build on a legacy of executing many scientific ‘firsts.’ From confirmation of the ozone hole, to the first all-sky survey in the infrared, Ball Aerospace applies technology to achieve the most challenging science requirements.

CARE and MAINTENANCE of your Ultrameter II 6P
TweetBefore you send your Ultrameter II 6P or UMII 4P in for repair, read this: CARE and MAINTENANCE of your Ultrameter II 6P Rinse your Ultrameter II with clean water after use. Avoid solvents.

Before you send your Ultrameter II 6P or UMII 4P in for repair, read this:
CARE and MAINTENANCE of your Ultrameter II 6P
Rinse your Ultrameter II with clean water after use. Avoid solvents. Shock damage from a fall may cause instrument failure.
A. Temperature Extremes
Solutions in excess of 71°C/160°F should not be placed in the cell cup area; this may cause damage. The pH sensor may fracture if the Ultrameter II temperature is allowed to go below 0°C/32°F. Do not exceed rated operating temperature.
Leaving the Ultrameter II in a vehicle or storage shed on a hot day can easily subject the instrument to over 66°C/150°F. This will void the warranty.
B. Battery Replacement
Dry Instrument THOROUGHLY. Remove the four (4) bottom screws. Open instrument carefully. Carefully detach battery from circuit board. Replace with 9 volt alkaline battery. Replace bottom, ensuring the sealing gasket is installed in the groove of the top half of case. Re-install screws, tighten evenly and securely.
NOTE: Because of nonvolatile EEPROM circuitry, all data stored in memory and all calibration settings are protected even during power loss or battery replacement. However, loss of time and date may occur if battery is removed for longer than 3 minutes (180 seconds).
C. pH/ORP Sensor Replacement (6Psi)
Order model RPR. When ordering, be sure to include the model and serial number of your instrument to ensure receipt of the proper type. Complete installation instructions are provided with each replacement sensor.
D. Cleaning Sensors
1. Conductivity/TDS/Resistivity
The conductivity cell cup should be kept as clean as possible. Flushing with clean water following use will prevent buildup on electrodes. However, if very dirty samples — particularly scaling types — are allowed to dry in the cell cup, a film will form. This film reduces accuracy. When there are visible films of oil, dirt, or scale in the cell cup or on the electrodes, use isopropyl alcohol or a foaming non-abrasive household cleaner. Rinse out the cleaner and your Ultrameter II is again ready for accurate measurements.
2. pH/ORP (6Psi)
The unique pH/ORP sensor in your Ultrameter II is a nonrefillable combination type that features a porous liquid junction. It should not be allowed to dry out. However, if this occurs, the sensor may sometimes be rejuvenated by first cleaning the sensor well with Isopropyl alcohol or a liquid spray cleaner such as Windex™ or Fantastic™ and rinsing well. Do not scrub or wipe the pH/ORP sensor.
Then use one of the following methods:
1. Pour a HOT salt solution ~60°C/140°F — a potassium chloride (KCI) solution such as Myron L pH/ORP Sensor Storage Solution is preferable, but HOT tap water with table salt (NaCl) will work fine — in the sensor well and allow to cool. Retest.
or
2. Pour DI water in the sensor well and allow to stand for no more than 4 hours (longer can deplete the reference solution and damage the glass bulb). Retest. If neither method is successful, the sensor must be replaced.
“Drifting” can be caused by a film on the pH sensor bulb and/or reference. Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or spray a liquid cleaner such as Windex™ or Fantastic™ into the sensor well to clean it. The sensor bulb is very thin and delicate. Do not scrub or wipe the pH/ORP sensor.
Leaving high pH (alkaline) solutions in contact with the pH sensor for long periods of time is harmful and will cause damage. Rinsing such liquids from the pH/ORP sensor well and refilling it with Storage Solution, a saturated KCl solution, pH 4 buffer, or a saturated solution of table salt and tap water, will extend the useful life.
Samples containing chlorine, sulfur, or ammonia can “poison” any pH electrode. If it is necessary to measure the pH of any such sample, thoroughly rinse the sensor well with clean water immediately after taking the measurement. Any sample element that reduces (adds an electron to) silver, such as cyanide, will attack the reference electrode.

2011 Net Sales: $1.44 billion
Approximate Number of Employees Worldwide: 5,800
Approximate Number of Facilities Worldwide: 31
Headquarters: North Andover, Massachusetts, USA
The Watts Water Technologies family of companies designs and manufactures valves and related products that promote the comfort and safety of people and the quality, conservation and control of water used in commercial, residential, industrial and municipal applications.
Comfort
Driven by rising energy costs and a desire for more comfortable, convenient and economic heating sources, the installation of hydronic radiant heating in the U.S. has grown at more than 15% over the last ten years because it offers superior comfort and energy savings to consumers. In northern Europe, hydronic radiant heating continues to be the dominant heating method.
Watts manufactures engineered hydronic radiant heating and snow melting systems as well as electric radiant floor warming systems and PEX tubing for residential and commercial installations. Watts also provides a broad line of boiler safety and control products for solar, ground and wall-hung boilers, as well as a broad range of manifold collector systems and valve accessories for the hydronic heating market in Europe and North America.
Qualtiy
In today’s environment, we are experiencing increased demand for high quality water. An expanding population combined with a fixed supply of clean water and heightened consumer awareness continues to add to this demand.
Watts provides high quality drinking and process water through its broad range of reverse osmosis (RO) water purification systems, ranging from under-sink residential systems to high-volume commercial systems. Watts backflow prevention devices protect the water supply against the reverse flow of water in piping systems, thus ensuring the quality of your drinking water.
Conservation
With a limited supply of potable water, municipalities continue to increase the price of water supplied as well as the price for wastewater discarded for treatment. Watts offers a broad, proven line of water pressure regulators to conserve water for home and industry while still providing comfortable levels of water pressure at the point of use.
Watts state-of-the-art ZeroWaste reverse osmosis (RO) systems provide bottled-quality water to homeowners, without wasting any water. Watts hot water recirculating systems deliver instant hot water at the tap, conserving water and energy. And Watts automatic control valves ensure conservation in municipal water systems.
Safety
Unless properly channeled and tempered, water can pose a serious hazard to those who use it. From their earliest days manufacturing steam pressure regulators and temperature and pressure safety relief valves, Watts companies have had the safety of their customers foremost in mind.
Watts works closely with standards setting agencies and plumbing and building code officials to develop plumbing regulations that maximize the safety of its customers. In addition to its traditional line of safety valves, Watts provides an extensive offering of thermostatic hot water mixing valves, hydronic heating system safety units and hot water safety products.
Control
Effective use of water requires proper control devices. Potable water, fire protection, irrigation, hydronic heating and wastewater systems depend on these devices to maintain adequate flow rates, and safe and proper operating temperatures.
To help customers control the state and flow of water, Watts provides one of the most extensive lines of flow control devices in the world. These range from small quarter-turn water supply stops used in baths and kitchens to the very large (110″) double-flanged butterfly valves supplied by Watts in China to the Three Gorges Dam project on the Yangtze River. Watts devices offer the right solutions for its customers’ residential and commercial water control needs.

Tillamook Hospital was built on its current site in 1950, at a cost of $1,175,000. In 1973, Tillamook County signed a long-term management lease agreement with Northwest Medical Foundation of Tillamook, a non-profit health care corporation affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and owned by Adventist Health.
In 1975, county citizens approved a bond issue, which when combined with federal funds resulted in a $2.4 million hospital improvement project.
In January 1980 NorthWest Medical Foundation merged with Adventist Health, a large health care corporation representing 19 hospitals in their Western Division and 70 hospitals nationwide. The operation of the facility is a partnership between Adventist Health and Tillamook County.
By the 1990′s, in meeting community health care needs, hospital services had outgrown the facility’s available space and significant remodeling was needed to accommodate modern technologies. In September 1996, voters of Tillamook County overwhelmingly approved a $10 million bond levy to upgrade and renovate the facility.
This project, completed in the Fall of 2000, added 25,000 square feet to the existing building and renovated 38,000 square feet. Improvements were made in a number of departments including Emergency, Surgery, Recovery, Outpatient Program, Laboratory and the Birthing Center. Other areas of improvement included replacement of plumbing and electrical, additional air conditioning, increased capacity of emergency generator, expanded fire alarm system and upgrading of the building to meet current earthquake standards.
As a non-profit organization, much of our hospital revenues stay within Tillamook County in the form of purchases and payroll, as well as the reinvestment by Adventist Health in upgrading equipment. Recent technology enhancements include transitioning to all-digital Radiology equipment and the implementation of a hospital-wide electronic medical record system. About $29 million in payroll annually benefits the local economy.
Our hospital participates in numerous national and state quality initiatives, as well a national patient satisfaction benchmarking. Results consistently rank us in the top decile performance.
As the world of health care continues to advance, the dedicated members of our health care team plan on contributing to high quality medical services and positive growth in Tillamook County.
Tillamook County General Hospital is part of Adventist Health, a faith-based, not-for-profit integrated health care delivery system serving communities in California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington. Our workforce of 28,700 includes more than 21,000 employees; 4,500 medical staff physicians; and 3,000 volunteers. Founded on Seventh-day Adventist health values, Adventist Health provides compassionate care in 19 hospitals, more than 150 clinics (hospital-based, rural health and physician clinics), 14 home care agencies, six hospice agencies and four joint-venture retirement centers.
Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Adventist Health.
