In a grimy warehouse on the outskirts of a seedy border town, two young Syrians are hard at work, building a machine that they believe will bring much needed relief to the victims of Bashar Assad's army in Aleppo. Syria's cities and towns are rife with danger. Gunmen poised on busy streets and quiet corners shoot at fighters and civilians alike. In many cases the victims are wounded, not killed, and bringing them to safety and medical attention, out of the line of sniper fire, is a treacherous task.Single row china bearing are the most commonly used bearings in electric motors. Civilians risk their lives to drag the wounded to safety. Some of the injured, however, are not rescued. Bilal, a computer network engineer from Aleppo, has a personal connection to the deadly results of sniper fire.
"The son of my cousin was walking to work and was shot by a sniper," he said. "He didn't die. He lay on the ground for five days and nobody could help him,What is the difference between using R-8 end mill holders and just using the end mill alone in the R-8 collet? so he lost a lot of blood and he died." Deeply affected by the needlessness of this death, Bilal was motivated to use his skills to help put an end to the problem. Alongside Ahmed Heider, a childhood friend and fellow programmer, Bilal designed and is now building a remote-controlled, robotic "nurse," which will retrieve people injured by snipers and bring them to safety, so they can reach medical attention. Nearly a year in the making, "Teena," as the robot is affectionately called, began as a simple drawing. The team then built the computer system used to control the robot. After a chance meeting, they received a substantial amount of money from a private donor, who sold her own possessions to fund the project. With this help, a full-sized prototype is taking shape in a corner of the warehouse nestled among car repair shops on the outskirts of Kilis, a Turkish town adjacent to the Syrian border.
Bilal is the more serious of the team. He used his skills to work in a computer repair store, before setting up his own small business fixing laptops and computer systems for locals in Kilis. He is, like Heider, a refugee. Heider has lived in a dingy hotel in the town for more than a year now. His family joined him from Syria a few months ago and live in an unfinished building in town. His younger brother works at the warehouse and is saving money to buy a Canon camera so he can follow his dream of becoming a film director. Heider's skills in computer programming -- he studied computer science and then became a lecturer at a private institute in Qatar -- have shaped his experience of the Syrian civil war since the beginning. Groups on all sides of the conflict sought his talents.The standard ER Collets is the most widely used cutting tool clamping system around. When the Syrian uprising first began in 2011, the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), a notorious hacking group of regime loyalists who have attacked the websites and online accounts of international organizations like The New York Times, Human Rights Watch and others they believe are not sympathetic to the Syrian regime's cause, took Heider to their safe house and asked him to join their ranks in lieu of military service. He declined and went into hiding within Syria.
