Wire binding is a way to give your

documents a sophisticated look and the Quasar 130 double-loop wire

binding machine from Fellowes can help you easily lend this look to

your bound documents. If you need a wire binding machine for your

office, continue reading to discover what the Quasar 130 can do for

you.

The Quasar 130 was made to be used moderately and it's a good choice

for medium-sized offices. This machine can punch up to 15 pages at once

and it can bind documents up to 130 pages long with 9/16" wire, making

it ideal for binding marketing materials, reports, and so on. The pitch

of this machine is 3:1, meaning it punches 3 holes per inch of paper.

The Quasar 130 is really easy to use and it has a vertical document

loading area so you'll be able to accurately punch your paper every

time. One great feature of the Quasar 130 is the ability to punch and

bind at the same time. Not a lot of binding machines have this

capability, but it's good feature to have because it will help you save

time. The machine also has an ergonomic, U-shaped handle that makes it

easy bind whether you're right- or left-handed.

Some of the Quasar 130's other features include a document measurement

tool and a storage tray for your binding spines. The chip tray has a

little window so you can see when you need to empty the tray. Like many

of Fellowes' binding machines, the Quasar 130 folds up for simple

storage and transport. Finally, the company has made it easy to get

started thanks to a binding starter pack that's included with every

machine. This pack includes both covers and binding spines so you can

get binding and not have to run out and buy supplies in order to get

started with the machine.

The Quasar 130 does lack two key features: disengageable dies and an

adjustable margin depth control. These features allow you to punch and

bind different sized documents. If you'll be punching and binding

documents longer than 11 inches long, the Quasar 130 isn't a good

machine for you. (You can't even punch shorter pieces of paper with the

Quasar 130 because the lack of disengageable dies means you'll end up

with an extra hole in your paper.) Also, although the machine looks

sleek and folds up, it's made of plastic so it might not hold up to

years of heavy-duty use. If you're going to be doing a lot of binding

and need the ability to bind differently sized documents, you should

probably consider a different machine.

Overall, the Quasar 130 is another quality product from Fellowes that

produces high-quality binding. It's easy to use, produces gorgeous

documents, and it will help save you time by allowing you bunch and

bind at the same time. Also, the binding starter pack is a welcome,

thoughtful addition. The Quasar 130 is the wire binding machine to get

if you need such a machine for your office.

Some machines have copper clad steel wire. These allow you to punch the

right number of holes for various sizes of paper, such as half-letter

and legal-size. Be sure to disengage (or engage) the appropriate dies

before you punch your paper, if necessary.

Now

you can punch your paper and covers. Depending on your machine, you'll

either pull a handle to do this or press a button. Don't exceed your

machine's punching capacity. Doing so can dull the punching dies.

A

lot of wire binding machines have spine selectors. If your device has

this feature, you can use it to measure the thickness of your document

and then pick out the appropriate spine for it. Depending on your

machine, you will be either working with 3:1 or 2:1 pitch wire spines,

or both. (Pitch just refers to how many holes there are punched per inch

of paper. The 2:1 pitch spines can bind thicker documents, including

ones that are up to 250 pages long.)

Place

the wire spine on the hanger on the front of the machine. You can start

threading the tines of the spine through the holes in your book. Don't

forget to add the covers. In fact, the back cover should be the last

sheet you add, and its interior should be facing you. Once your book is

bound you can rotate the cover to hid the seam in the closed spine.

Now

you're ready to close the spine. Place your document in the spine

closer and make sure the open part of spine is facing down. Close the

spine and flip the back cover around. Your document should look great.

Repeat

the above process if you have other documents to bind. And if you have

an electric machine, make sure you turn it off when you're done to

prevent the motor from burning out.

Keep

in mind that these instructions are fairly general. While they will be

helpful for using most of the wire binding machines out there, your

machine may have device-specific instructions you need to follow. You

should always check out your machine's instruction manual just to make

sure you're doing everything you need to.

Wire binding is a great way to bind your documents and it's not that hard to do. Give it a try today.

If you are looking for a solution to bind your

own documents, reports, presentations and proposals, wire binding is

certainly a great choice. The professional look of the double loop wire

binding is a popular choice for engineers, architects, real estate

agents and financial service organizations. In fact, double loop wire

binding (also called wire-o binding) offers one of the most

professional looks available on the market. However, before you rush

out and buy a wire binding machine there are a few things that you

should know. Here they are...

1. There are two types of twin loop

wire binding machines. A 3:1 pitch wire binding machine is designed to

punch a hole pattern with three holes per inch and is used to bind

documents between 3/16" and 9/16". A 2:1 pitch wire binding machine is

designed to punch a hole pattern with two holes per inch and is used to

bind documents between 5/8" and 1-1/4". If you decide to purchase a 3:1

pitch wire binding machine and decide later that you need to bind

larger sized documents you will be out of luck. With a 2:1 pitch wire

binding machine you can actually buy small sized custom elements for

small documents. However, these documents will not have the same

tightly wound look that is popular with 3:1 pitch wire binding. If you

anticipate needing to bind both large and small sized documents with

wire binding your best bet is to purchase a binding system capable of

punching both 2:1 pitch and 3:1 pitch patterns. This will offer you the

flexibility to bind documents in all sizes up to 1-1/4" with your

machine.

2. Twin loop wire binding elements come out of the box in a "C" shape.

Most wire binding machines have a place to hang or hold the wire in

place while you put the pages onto the wire element. You then have to

take the wire binding spine and use the wire closer on your machine to

squeeze the spine closed into a round shape. It can take some practice

to move the book into the wire closer without having your spines fall

out. Unfortunately apart from a high end electric wire closer, this is

the process that is required for wire binding.

3. It is important to make sure that you purchase a twin loop wire

binding machine that has an excellent quality wire closer. Cheaper wire

binding machines can sometimes use plastic components and cheaper

construction. Over time, the wire closers on these machines can begin

to skew resulting in an uneven bind. Higher quality wire binding

machines will use metal construction to ensure that the wire closer

will not slip or skew over time.

4. Wire-O binding supplies are available in more than 14 different

colors and a large number of sizes. Generally speaking, wire spines are

stocked in 11" lengths for standard letter size documents. Spines for

longer or shorter documents can be ordered in almost any length and

take just a few days to have made. Large volume users will sometimes

use wire on spools and use special machines to cut the spines to

length. Spools are not recommended for low volume non automated users

since they are susceptible to shipping damage and can become tangled

easily.

Certainly there is more to wire binding than just these four things.

However, understanding these four points will help you to make an

informed decision when choosing a wire binding machine.

The premier use of THW Cable lumbar puncture in both Quincke's time and ours has been to diagnose meningitis. The suffix "-itis" signifies inflammation, so meningitis means inflammation of the meninges. Most, but not all, instances of meningitis are due to infections, but the kinds of infections seen have evolved over the years. In Quincke's lifetime tuberculosis and syphilis germs were common causes of meningitis, but presently, in developed countries these are uncommon. Nowadays, the usual causes of meningitis are other bacteria, viruses or even funguses. In cases of suspected infection, CSF protein, glucose and blood-corpuscle measurements are supplemented by other tests on the fluid that can track down the specific, infecting organisms. Another important use of lumbar puncture is to diagnose subarachnoid hemorrhage, an abrupt, devastating, and potentially lethal bleed into the CSF space caused by rupture of an aneurysm or other abnormal blood vessel. In suspected cases—classically presenting with "the worst headache of my life"—a computed tomographic (CT) scan is usually performed first. While very sensitive in detecting subarachnoid hemorrhages, CT scans can still miss cases. So if the doctor is still suspicious that a bleed occurred, the next step is to do a lumbar puncture which is 100% sensitive in detecting this condition. That is, it never misses.

Lumbar puncture with CSF analysis can also help in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a disease in which the patient's own immune system attacks the central nervous system. In this condition the immune reaction produces abnormal proteins that can be detected and measured in the CSF.

How is the test performed? Well, the first step, of course, is the informed consent process in which your doctor explains the risks and benefits of the test and you sign a permission form. In this author's opinion, lumbar puncture is the most benign test for which written permission is traditionally required and is less risky than some other procedures—like drawing blood from a high-pressure artery—for which written permission is traditionally omitted.

The next step is to lie on your side on a bed or procedure table with your knees tucked up to your chest. The skin of your lower back is painted with an iodine-based solution to produce a sterile field. If you have an allergy to iodine, an alcohol-based solution is substituted. The surrounding area is then covered with sterile paper or cloth. The skin and the tissue beneath the skin are then numbed with local anesthetic, and then everything is ready to insert the spinal needle.

The reason the lower back (lumbar spine) is chosen is because here the sac of meninges can be entered without risk of poking a hole in the spinal cord. This is because the spinal cord ends several inches higher within the spinal canal. The composition of the CSF is nearly the same throughout its system. Thus, CSF from the lumbar region is as good for diagnosis as from anywhere else, yet safer to obtain. Once the spinal needle enters the lumbar sac of fluid, correct positioning of the needle is confirmed by the emergence of clear, colorless drops of fluid from the back of the needle. (When a similar procedure is performed for the purpose of epidural anesthesia, the tip of the needle stops just short of entering the meninges, and the drug is infused outside the sac.) A thin plastic tube is then attached to the back of the needle so the CSF's pressure can be measured. Subsequently, CSF is allowed to drip into each of several sealable test-tubes suitable for sending to the laboratory. Once adequate fluid has been obtained, the needle is withdrawn and the small puncture site in the skin is covered with an adhesive bandage. Typically, there are no more than a few drops of blood-loss from this test. How about risks? Fortunately, they are minimal. As with any other test in which a needle is inserted somewhere that Mother Nature never intended, bleeding is a possibility. Luckily, there are no major blood-vessels in the vicinity, so even an off-course needle is unlikely to cause trouble. Theoretically, a needle-insertion could also bring germs into the body and cause infection, but this almost never occurs because the needle is sterile and because the lumbar region had been surgically prepped.

About one-in-five patients experiences a headache from the procedure. When a spinal-tap headache occurs, it always has the following characteristics: it is present while the patient is sitting or standing, and is promptly relieved by lying down. Spinal-tap headaches are due to persistent leaking of CSF through the hole that the needle made in the meninges. (The leaking occurs within the spinal column and doesn't leave the body.) Until the hole seals up again and the full volume of CSF is restored, the CSF cannot provide its usual cushioning effect with changes in head position, and a headache ensues. In such cases the patient remains horizontal until the leak has sealed over.

Reviewing a list of potential complications can have a discouraging effect on people who need a test. But it is reassuring to know that millions of people have had Dr. Quincke's test since he devised it over a century ago. If the test caused unforeseen problems, they should have turned up by now.
