Low-Profile Retaining Rings Smalley Hoopster® Rings fit into shallower grooves than regular snap rings or retaining rings. Where retaining rings once were not an option because of groove depth, the low profile, precision circularity & small radial size allow the Hoopster to be an unobtrusive component in the assembly, ideal for thin wall tubes. Easy to install without special tools, Hoopsters are stocked from 3/8" to 3" in carbon & stainless steel. No-Tooling-Charges™ on customs.

New transparent display system could provide heads-up data cheaply Transparent displays have a variety of potential applications, such as the ability to see navigation or dashboard information while looking through the windshield of a car or plane, or to project video onto a window or a pair of eyeglasses. A number of technologies have been developed for such displays, but all have limitations. Now, researchers at MIT have come up with a new -- and much cheaper -- approach that can have significant advantages over existing systems.
