Splashdown probe rules out engine trouble
associated press: US Airways Flight 1549 passenger Jim Hanks first headed toward the back, submerged part of the crashed plane before trying another exit from the aircraft that landed in the Hudson River.
Transportation officials are ruling out an engine control malfunction and are now focusing their investigation on the remains of dead birds found in both engines of the US Airways airbus that ditched into the Hudson River on Jan. 15.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Wednesday that an engine surge occurred in the right engine just two days prior to the accident, however the engine recovered and the flight was completed without any further events.
"The NTSB determined that the surge was due to a faulty temperature sensor, which was replaced by maintenance ... following approved procedures," the agency said. "After the engine was examined with a [borescope] and found to be undamaged and in good working order, the aircraft was returned to service."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Dec. 31 issued an airworthiness directive on a specific series of turbofan engines, the same type that was on US Airways Flight 1549.
"After examining the engine maintenance records and interviewing relevant personnel, the NTSB determined that all of the requirements of the [directive] were complied with prior to the accident flight," the NTSB said.
During the accident, the flight data recorder revealed no anomalies or malfunctions in either engine up to the point where the captain reported a bird strike, after which there was an uncommanded loss of thrust in both engines, the NTSB said.
Flight 1549 lost power in both its engines just after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport, but Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and his co-pilot and crew pulled off a successful crash landing on the Hudson, saving all 150 passengers on board.

Borescopes -- Everything You Need to Know
Have you ever heard of a borescope? Chances are you've seen them, even if you didn't know what they were called. For example, have you ever seen an engine mechanic using a small-diameter tube, with an eyepiece on the end? In any position the thin, sometimes flexible tube, in strategic locations helps them to get a good look at what is going on inside. These are borescopes.
As you might have guessed, borescopes are commonly used when inspecting machinery. For example, HVAC professionals use rigid borescopes, which have a straight-line barrel, to inspect air conditioning and heat pump components. The advantage of using a borescope is that it often eliminates the need to completely disassemble a machine in order inspect it.
Major manufacturers include Olympus and Hawkeye -- Olympus borescopes and Hawkeye borescopes are industry leaders, and manufacture sophisticated, precision equipment which is used in manufacturing, science and technology, and other industries.
Other Manufacturers such as 1800endoscope.com supplies Quality, Low cost Fiber and Video Borescopes. Such as HandyScopes and PortaScopes. The keyword is affordable!
How to borescopes work? Rigid borescopes, which do not bend, utilize a series of positioned optical lenses to transmit light. There are video borescopes as well, which incorporate the latest video display technology.
On the other hand, borescopes which flex, or bend, utilize a different type of technology -- fiber optics. The fiber-optic filaments used in flexible borescopes allow these models to be bent and moved -- and this is really helpful when various obstacles in the way would prevent the use of rigid borescopes. ProVision borescopes are relatively inexpensive, flexible borescopes which are widely used by mechanics in the automotive field, as well as in other fields.
It is also possible to purchase various types of borescope accessories -- for example, if you will need to use your borescope in the field, you can purchase a battery operated light source for it. You can also purchase specially-designed carrying cases, changeable diameter shafts, couplers for the connection of a camera, etc.
And since borescopes can cost thousands of dollars to purchase new, it is also possible to rent them. Borescope rental companies have sprung up, and they provide a very important service for businesses who could not otherwise afford to purchase a borescope -- or for businesses or industries who only have an occasional need to use one. Borescope rental fees are extremely reasonable, and most borescope rental companies have a wide variety of models to choose from.
An important borescope advance is the development of specialized, PC-based software applications. These specialized programs will allow you to do things like digitally record images, to document your inspections, operate your borescope from a remote location -- some of them will even help you to do your paperwork! Some companies will offer these computerized applications along with your equipment purchase, eliminating the need for an additional, expensive purchase.

How about using an endoscopic penscope with Skype?
Phil from Skype Journal offers one of the cleverest ideas for using Skype I have seen in a long time. Basically, it would involve hooking up a type of digital pen camera known as the 1800Endoscope 1800USBPS Penscope PenCam to act as a Webcam. Once enabled, the device would be able to show finely detailed objects within Skype video sessions. So let’s just say you are selling coins on eBay. Using your Endoscope, you would be able to pan over the surface of the coin, and present it to prospective buyers in a high-resolution that would be real-time rather than a series of high-res stills that simply evoke more questions from your would-be buyer.
