Not every window needs fancy drapery or curtains. Some windows, such as
in your bedroom or den, will suffice with a bit of window dressing.
That's when you want to hang a window scarf. A window scarf is a piece
of material that simply hangs in front, or on the sides, of a window.
It's not a very elaborate curtain, but it dresses up the window
nevertheless. All you really need is the material and the hardware to
hang the scarf. There are a number of ways to hang a scarf. You can use a
curtain rod and simply drape the scarf over the rod, or you could hang
the scarf between two brackets and let it curve in the middle [source:
Dummies]. All you need is a bit of imagination. So continue reading to
learn how to make and hang a simple window scarf.luxury curtain accessories
Here's what to do:
Buy the fabric of your choice. The fabric should be twice as long as the area you wish to cover.
Lay the fabric out on a flat area.
Cut it to the desired length.
Fold the fabric accordion-style lengthwise. You can make the folds any size you wish. Secure the folds with safety pins.
Install two brackets on either side of the window and lay a pole across them.
Pin the fabric in place, using thumb tacks. The thumb tacks should be placed next to the brackets that will support the scarf [source: window-treatments-made-easy].
Drape the fabric over the pole and remove the safety pins.
Remove the thumb tacks from the fabric and even out the ends. Pull down the center of the scarf a bit at the top of the window.

Curtain rods have lived a mostly clandestine life. Hidden under yards of
muslin or yellowed antique lace, they rarely saw the light of day.
But all that has changed.
Sleek, metallic and secured on each end with elaborate orbs of glass or finials of wrought iron, today’s curtain rods aren’t just hanging around anymore — they’re adding some serious style to modern window treatments.resin curtain rod finials
“Generally, drapery rods are not the main event, but have a supporting role,” said La Grange resident Mary Lou Kalmus, owner/interior designer of Designing Edge in Clarendon Hills. “You want to have the right scale and look. Sometimes you want them hidden, like in a rod pocket, and others may want to make a statement. You need to coordinate the style, level of sophistication and function. It is like an accessory.”
Bolingbrook resident Monique Fisher of Interiors by Monique said she bases her purchases on what type of drapery rod is needed to complete the client’s desired look.
While the rod may not be the most important element in an interior design or redesign plan, Fisher said, “People really have an opinion on what they want. They consider it important.”
And options abound for those looking to update their window treatments. Taste and design dictate whether rods hold up stationary drapery panels, support drapes with tabs that fit over the rod, or bear rings attached to fabric, said Wording resident Melissa Secor, senior designer at Dream Interiors in Downers Grove.
Resin drapery rod
The most popular rod is the resin drapery rod, Melissa Secor said. It takes paint better and can take more wear and tear than the wooden rod. Resin rods are a little lighter and can be made to look like wood rods and “in this area they are more traditional looking,” she said. The resin products are a little less expensive than the wooden rods, a more affordable alternative to a wooden product while still maintaining the detail and look of a wood product, she said.
Iron drapery rod
Iron can be made into many designs, Melissa Secor said. Iron finials usually boast a more sculptural look. “You can do things with iron you can’t do with wood. Metal is sturdier and more popular because of a gaining popularity in the stainless steel and aged bronze look,” Monique Fisher said.

In order to get into the electronic products we need to understand the
circuit board, IC, MCU, CPU, chip production process, in deepening its
understanding.
Circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, referred to as PCB), also known as PCB, PCB board, circuit boards, etc., is an important electronic components, is the support of electronic components, is the electrical component line connection provider. Traditional circuit boards, using the printing etching inhibitor of the work method, make circuits and surface, so called printed circuit boards or printed circuit boards.OEM service
IC: To achieve some kind of function, the circuit unit can be concentrated together, the English is called IC.SCM: is a minimal system, can be programmed to achieve all the needs of the function, the English is called MCU, the microcontroller, such as the use of single-chip microcomputer, and then add a variety of peripheral circuits, can make robots.CPU: Chinese call central processing Unit, is an electronic product of the heart, such as your current computer, if no CPU is dead.Chips: Abbreviations for integrated circuits.
Multilayer immersed Gold circuit board for each electronic product field, is an indispensable component of electronic products. Electronic components will be installed welding on the circuit board to achieve its functional value. The most commonly used process is tin or nickel gold, now mainly to introduce the role of nickel gold and advantages and disadvantages.
First, the sinking gold process is covered in the plate welding plate, as an important part, must be because nickel gold is very easy to solder together with tin one of the materials, and nickel gold can also play the protective pad copper skin will not be oxidized by air, corrosion, play to protect the role of the circuit board, in addition to the nickel gold process is now in line with the promotion of the environmental requirements of various countries, immersion gold process is unleaded process (lead-free multi-layer immersion gold PCB), customers can be assured of the use of production. In addition, multi-layer sinking gold circuit board process because it is chemical sinking gold, so covering the surface of the solder plate is flat, so it is also very easy to weld, especially now many high-precision PCB, processing requirements are very high, if the welding bad caused the virtual welding, BGA is not so easy to find the reason, causing engineers to adjust repeatedly is also troublesome, so multi-layer circuit board sinking Gold technology, generally can be very good to avoid this phenomenon, so now many precision circuit boards are using the immersion gold process to do only.
But the sinking gold craft also has a little shortcoming, that is the cost will be more expensive than the general craft. As the company's cost consideration, generally not very precise or demanding boards, can choose to spray lead tin or lead-free tin.

Before designing a printed circuit board, you need to decide whether
you'll use a single-layer or multi-layer PCB. Usually the complex
devices typically use multi-layer boards, while simpler ones can benefit
from single-layer. This blog is going to explain the advantages and
disadvantages of the multilayer boards.electronic components procurement
As we all know, Multi-layer PCBs are made of three or more double-sided boards stacked on top of each other. Theoretically, they can contain as many boards as you can need, but this should be on the base of the capability of a factory. For Fast Turn PCB, we can make up to 36 layers for the rigid pcb prototype.
With the following advantages, multi-layer pcb stands ahead in the pcb industry:
1.Applied in more advanced devices
For the projects involves more circuits and components, multi-layer board ensures there is ample room for connections, making it ideal for more advanced devices with many different uses and advanced capabilities.
2.Increased Durability
The multi-layer boards can withstand in harsher conditions and often last longer than the single-sided boards do.
3.High Quality
When designing the multi-layer boards, it requires more special skills and advanced tool for it to meet its use in the advanced devices. Most of them will contain the impedance control and special techniques like backdrilling, laser drilling and so on for the fabrication. Thus, it also requires the higher standard for the monitoring equipment to ensure its quality.
4.Smaller and lighter weight
Multi-layer circuits adopted the high-tech to stack layers on top of each other to integrate the high layer and multi-functions into a tighter space. And this makes the circuits smaller and lighter. And nowadays, the IC technology is becoming more and more popular for the smaller and lighter board while containing more functions.

Yale and Emtek, two smart lock companies under the umbrella of the lock
conglomerate Assa Abloy, are debuting new smart door locks sporting
August’s software. Assa Abloy acquired August back in 2017, but these
are the first third-party smart locks that can directly use August’s
software without needing external hardware. Back in 2018, August added
support for Yale locks, but that required you to purchase a module from
Yale that you had to install yourself.best mortise lock brand
Starting with Emtek’s offerings, the thoughtfully named EMPowered Smart Lock Keypad Deadbolt and the Smart Lock for Deadbolt / Entryset are available for $440 and $390, respectively. With August’s software on board, you’ll be able to control the EMPowered smart door locks with your smartphone or through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Regarding launch dates, the keypad version of Emtek’s smart lock will be available in February, while the deadbolt version will launch in April.
Yale’s Assure Lever smart lock differs from Emtek’s locks as it’s designed for single-hole doors, side doors, basements, and interior rooms, instead of being used for your front door. It comes in keyed and key-free versions as well as keypad and capacitive touchscreen versions (supporting four to eight digit custom PINs), so you have a few different options of how you’ll be able to unlock or lock your door. Yale’s smart locks can also be fully integrated into a smart home or alarm system if you purchase one of the three supported add-on modules: the Connected by August, Z-Wave Plus, or Zigbee’s Yale Smart Module.

If you are one of the roughly 28 per cent of households that have a security system, you then need to go punch in a code to turn the alarm off. It's something we do so often it becomes instinctual. Which is what makes all that much stranger when you find yourself no longer doing it.
Nest is still best known for its smart thermostat but faced with growing competition and pressure to expand its product line, back in September it announced it was going to expand into security products: a doorbell, alarm system and a smart lock.
The alarm system came out almost immediately but it wasn't until last month that the doorbell – called the Nest Hello – and the door lock – called the, um, "Nest x Yale Lock" entered the market.
We have been testing them both for a couple of weeks, both by themselves and in conjunction with other Nest products – including its security system and smart camera. But we're going to focus on the lock right now because it seems the most significant.
And the reason for that is quite simple: a few days ago, this reviewer took his front door key off the bunch of keys that reside in the jeans pocket.
It was more of a psychological test than anything else: the key is useless because the Nest+Yale lock doesn't have a key slot, just a keypad. Currently, there is no other way to get into our house than through this lock (well, apart from breaking or jamming open a window).
