We worked with Japan to solve the rice and rice cooker challenge. Since AUTEC was born from Audio Technica, the company had technological resources on-site to do scientific research for the robots to produce the best possible sushi using ingredients and methods available in America.

The new BMW is available in two colors, Blackstorm metallic and Cosmic Blue metallic, the base BMW R1250GS is pretty well priced, although most buyers will do what they’ve always done, and tick heaps of boxes to add optional packs covering performance and electronics, and various items of extra equipment. They’ll add thousands to the price perfectly happily because they’ll know that in exchange for doing so they’ll be riding the latest generation version of one of – if not THE – most capable all-round motorcycles money can buy.

Spherical roller bearings are very similar to cylindrical roller elements with one exception – they are rounded around their midsection. Instead of being a perfect cylinder, spherical roller bearings are rounded so the sides of the cylinder are no longer parallel to each other. This gives them more surface area in contact with the race than a cylindrical element of the same length.

But it’s the new BMW’s smooth yet muscular throttle response that’s most impressive, thanks to the ultra-flat torque curve which sees at least 110Nm—i.e. better than three-quarters of the 143Nm peak torque figure—available from just 2000 revs upwards, all the way to its 8250 rpm redline. This uber-Boxer engine’s happy zone is between 2500 rpm and the point at which peak torque figure is delivered at 6250 rpm, and this makes holding fourth gear for miles on end along switchback hillside roads very much an approved option.

I later discovered that a coupler between the engine shaft and the hydraulic pump failed dramatically. It was an easy fix once I ordered the right part, and I’ve since learned to keep extras in stock. Couplings are useful things, and they’re the next up in our series on mechanisms.

A study by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has found that less than 1 per cent of seafood bearing its sustainability mark was mislabelled. This was determined using DNA tests on 1402 products sold in 18 countries between 2009 and 2016.

Is that really wild‑caught, Atlantic cod on your plate or, as it turned out in as it transpired in one Belgian restaurant, farmed catfish?

Most all the spinning parts on our vehicles would simply not function well without one simple invention—bearings. You’ll find them in the engine, transmission, transfer case, and axles. Bearings allow shafts to spin in housings and transmit power throughout the entire drivetrain, reducing friction while riding in grease or oil.
