Renault new cooperation in electric cars

Renault new cooperation in electric cars

The French automaker Renault and the leasing company ALD Automotive have signed a cooperation agreement under which works in the marketing of electric vehicles for fleet management. The Leasinfirma would inspire consumers with an attractive price for electric vehicles. The first electric cars are already in 2011 will be available on the market. In the development of electric vehicles, along with Nissan and Renault is working in two years will offer some electric car models for sale.

One of the vehicles of Kangoo ZE is a 60-hp electric motor and having the lithium-ion battery has a range of 100 kilometers. The battery performance is, however, over the next 1.5 years improved and the range can be increased to 160 kilometers. The rising fuel prices will rise because of falling oil reserves in the coming years. The electric cars have enjoyed already a slowly increasing demand. The prices today are still relatively high but are expected to fall with the technical development of electric vehicles and they are therefore more affordable.

Karmann is back - focusing on electric cars

The insolvent sports car manufacturer Karmann has received a development contract from the Wolfsburg-based Volkswagen AG as the "New Osnabruecker newspaper reported. The order volume amounts to the newspaper report referred to a two-digit million amount. The convertible specialist can use the money now to finance a transfer company. There are 1,600 people outsource and receive qualifications for the job market.

The company should be continued, with 1,500 employees, according to his insolvency administrator Ottmar Hermann. His focus would like the small car manufacturers in electric vehicles. For this, the mobile subsidiary E-Karmann GmbH was founded and can already point to new orders.

In 2011 the mass production start of a first electric cars and within seven years of which a minimum of 100,000 units sold. In the development of electric vehicles between Volkswagen and Karmann some time to work together. The second stimulus package the federal government has a positive effect for Karmann because of it he will probably by the year 2011, a grant of 20 million euros obtained. The focus on electric cars is a good decision as this will save not only jobs but also the future. The electric vehicles will soon be a normal street scene but before they have cheaper and the range can be increased.

Volkswagen - electric cars from 2013

The Wolfsburg-based automaker Volkswagen AG wants to start after a report in the Handelsblatt already in four years with the production of electric cars. According to the VW boss Martin Winterkorn, the "New Small Family" with the "Up" serve as the basis for electric cars. At present, there is the new series "Up" in the development, and it is a very small class of one level below the VW Polo. According Winterkorn is the people want an electric vehicle that the removal of Munich - Hamburg can drive.

The auto industry is still facing major hurdles as more batteries, the purchase prices for electric vehicles and a nationwide supply of power stations. In addition to presenting the plans to build electric cars of the CEO had referred to the latest sales figures. The number of vehicles sold worldwide was down 5.1 percent. The world market, however, had recorded an overall decline in sales of 18 percent. The scrapping and strong demand in the Chinese car market made for a smaller sales decline than the competition.

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog

ThinkPad T61 14.1″ widescreen notebook

Important to note is that this review covers the 14.1″ widescreen version of the T61 series. As with any laptop model series, there are going to be widely varying configurations you can choose that will greatly affect system performance.

Specs:

• Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)


• Graphics: Intel GMA X3100


• Operating System: Windows Vista Business


• Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (LG screen)


• Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM (Seagate Momentus 7200.1)


• Memory: 2GB (1GB x 1GB), up to 4GB max


• Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 FireWire, Monitor out, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in


• Slots: 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader)


• Optical Drive: Ultra-slim Super-Multi Drive


• Dimensions: 13.2″ x 9.3″ x 1.09 - 1.26″ (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm)


• Weight: 5.1lbs

The good: Internal roll cage protects LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi for faster wireless throughput; very small A/C adaptor adds little to overall travel weight; Intel's Active Management Technology provides remote support.

The bad: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.

The bottom line: Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same, solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform.

Design and Build

The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won't fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside.

The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 — meaning it's once again excellent. The only difference is that now there's more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook.

The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss.

Screen

The new widescreen format screen for the 14.1″ T-series is either good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your personal preference. Lenovo will try and convince you widescreen offers more screen real estate and so it's better, the reality is the guys making the LCD screens are forcing it down the throats of the PC manufacturers because it's cheaper to make widescreen LCDs.

The particular screen I got is a WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). It provides easy viewing and you can fit a good amount on the screen, so no complaints on that front. The screen is crisp and there are no issues with graininess. The matte finish ensures there's little to no glare in office lighting situations.

Processor and Performance

The ThinkPad T61 now uses the Intel Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa) platform. You get a faster processor front side bus (800MHz), more processor cache (4MB) and an improved integrated graphics solution in the form of the Intel X3100. If all that talk is nonsense to you, then suffice it to say the T61 offers newer and better processing components than the T60. Will this performance be perceivable in helping to run MS Word faster? No of course not, but certain processor intensive tasks such as encoding video will be faster. And even if you won't be utilizing every ounce of processing power, just knowing the processor is faster and you're on top of the game is enough to make people like myself want to buy it.

Battery Life

+

lenovo thinkpad t61 battery, 14.1″ standard screens and 15.4″ widescreen + 14-inch wide lenovo t61 battery

One thing that's always a concern with a new platform is battery life. Reading the first reviews that came out about the T61 sounded like gloom and doom with reports of 2 hour battery life. It seems most of the initial reviews were done using very power hungry dedicated graphics solutions and with a 4-cell battery.

I had the opportunity to test a larger 6-cell battery on an integrated graphics system, and got 3 hours and 41 minutes of battery life under what I would deem normal usage. I was using the T61 with screen brightness set to half or lower, Vista battery optimized setting, wireless off to get this number. In a torture test, I set the screen brightness to top level, put in a DVD (Stargate) and played it until the battery hit 5% and the PC went to sleep – which happened after exactly 2 hours 15 minutes. I wouldn't call that bad, it'll get you through most movies.

The downside of a 6-cell battery is that it sticks out of the back (see pics) and weighs more, but I'm always be willing to carry a bit more weight for an extra hour of battery life. A positive comment that should be made is the power adapter is nice and small, it's actually the same size as the X60 ultraportable series adapter.

Keyboard / Touchpad / Pointing Stick

The ThinkPad T-series hasn't changed too much over time, and that's a good thing, there's no use changing something that's just right. The ThinkPad keyboard is one of, if not the best, notebook keyboards out there. There's zero flex, every key feels individual, every key has great travel/feedback and the keyboard is full-size.

The T61 has a pointing stick, I love using this and find it much easier than the provided touchpad — it makes it so you can move the cursor around the screen without having to lift your hand from the keys, a much faster and easier to control style of input. But the great thing is that if the pointing stick isn't your cup of tea then you've got the touchpad as well.

Wireless

The ThinkPad T61 uses the Intel 4965 wireless chip that offers 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless reception. All of your bases are covered there, and the greater range 802.11n offers is on the table if you have an 802.11n router. The range of the ThinkPad is theoretically greater now that the lid material has changed to plastic too. The antenna is run up through the lid for better reception you see, and the new lid material allows radio waves to reach the antenna more easily. I was only able to test up to 100-feet away from my NetGear WGR614 802.11g wireless router, which I despise for its bad performance and tendency to drop connections, but the T61 worked just fine with it and I never suffered a connection drop and throughput was consistently good.

TU Bergakademie Freiberg is working on new battery

TU Bergakademie Freiberg is working on new battery

The scientists of TU Bergakademie Freiberg work under the "Lithium-initiative Freiberg" in the development of powerful lithium-ion batteries. Will be developed with partners from industry and the question of how the lithium needs to be covered is also part of the project. "With the lithium-initiative created at the TU Bergakademie a scientific Lithium-Competence Centre that helps Saxons into a leading location of the lithium technology," said Prof. Voigt, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and initiator of the lithium-initiative.

The partners Geokompetenz the center Freiberg eV, the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources Hannover (BGR) and the Autonomous University in Potosi (Bolivia). Participating companies include the K-UTEC Salt Technologies AG and ERCOSPLAN. In the Materials Research at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the lithium-research has already been well established. After an assessment by Prof. Li Voigt will become a strategic energy resource. The raw material Lithium is available worldwide but only in low concentration and their collection is an enormous technical effort required. In the coming years there will be a rapid demand for the alloy. The demand is triggered by this particular electric vehicles and hybrid cars, where lithium-ion batteries are installed.

At present, lithium to 75 percent in the high mountains of South America won and dried out while the rest of solutions of salt lakes. The biggest supplier of Li-world countries are Argentina and Chile. In the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, however, the South African country the largest reserves are located but have not been drilled. Together with the Autonomous University of Potosi in a research project was started connected to the target as an effective method for the extraction of lithium salts to develop.

Single charging plug decided for electric cars

The auto companies and the electronics industry have agreed with charging for electric cars on a single standard. The standard connector to ensure that electric vehicles anywhere in Europe is not only fast but also reliable can be refueled at gas stations with new energy flow. According a report by the newspaper "Die Welt" could the companies agree on a Dreistufenl sung. It was agreed on 400 volts and up to 63 amps so that high load speed is reached. In houses, garages and service stations must be built according to this new lines. Compared to a normal domestic power line should not have the new plug to charge an empty battery in hours but minutes.

The company will present at the Hanover Fair the uniform charging and technical innovations to the visitors. Electric cars create hopefully with the adopted standard plug the breakthrough. However, before batteries need to be developed which allow a much greater range than the current models.

The prices for batteries and electric cars also have to fall more affordable. Who today would buy an electric vehicle like the Twike needs for investing at least 18,000 euros. The range of the Twike is a single charge at 200 km and allow for its efficient electric drive to lower energy consumption. Currently there are about 400 charging stations in Germany, and it will still take some years before there will be a nationwide gas stations network.

Britain developed a micro-engine is expected to replace the battery

Britain developed a micro-engine is expected to replace the battery

June 17, University of Birmingham announced that manufacturing and mechanical engineering university college lecturer, Chinese scientists led by Dr. Jiang Kaichun research group developed a micro-engine is only a few millimeters in size. Do not look at this small enough to be placed on the engine cover nails look like much, but the energy provided is 300 times that of ordinary batteries.

To understand the results of this study the situation, the reporter interviewed Dr. Jiang Kaichun.

About their research results, Jiang Kaichun showed great interest. He says that when they designed this engine's main purpose is to replace the traditional battery. Since the battery 发明, despite the miniaturization of electronic devices and portable and has played an important role, but the charge capacity of batteries is limited, so that electronic equipment Wei Liao continued work Bixujingchang replace or recharge in energy Persistence and Lianxu Xing Gong Ying there are some restrictions on gasoline and other fuels in this regard carbohydrates showed a clear advantage. In the development of the engine before they have specialized in different types of batteries and fuel were compared to results found in the weight of the same case, gasoline, hydrogen and other fuels to provide energy carbohydrates, 300 times the average for the battery. This means that the same is to supplement the primary energy, using micro-motor-driven device, battery-powered device than a much longer working hours.

In addition, it has been calculated to create the energy consumption of a battery than the battery itself provides 2000 times the energy of a large, if the processing of used batteries consider the energy consumption, then the battery life up costs. In contrast, micro-engine is much simpler, as long as it is added to a fuel, it can continuously work months or even a year or two. Not only eliminates the need for frequent battery changes or recharging the battery trouble, and the device itself could be more compact and lightweight.

On the engine design and manufacture, Jiang Kaichun said micro-engine manufacturing is very different from conventional engines. Conventional engine is usually full of noise produced by the plant in, but micro-engine is in the universities and research institutions in the clean room finished. They are now developing a kind of micro-internal combustion engine, this engine developed by U.S. scientists in different micro-turbine engine, the internal temperature is much higher. In order to withstand the engine running as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius resulting heat, they selected materials in the manufacture of alumina and silicon carbide. Both materials can be resistant to temperatures above 1,500 degrees Celsius, which was provided to ensure the safe operation of the engine.

As the micro-engine compact, and some internal components only a few microns, so the production process, they have adopted similar with the production of large scale integrated circuit technology. The difference is that required components do large scale integrated circuits as small as possible, but use the same process of production engines, you need bigger parts as possible. Because of fuel combustion in the engine requires a certain space, space is too small will not ignite the fuel, which requires the engine components to maintain a certain size. To achieve this, they use a lot of new technology. One of the most unique features is their "big thick layer of light plastic processing" technology. Using this technology, and now they have to process the material thickness is about 1 mm, which is very advanced world. In order to meet the needs of different devices, scientists can also output power of this engine to adjust. Approach is not a production of engines of different sizes, but the number of the same specifications as the engine output to connect different energy. For example, for mobile phones provide enough energy may be an engine, providing power for the laptop you need to put together a number of engines to work Caixing.

Micro-engine wide range of applications, in addition to mobile phones and portable computers can replace the battery, the military, medical and engineering manufacturing and other fields have wide applications. For example, with the increase in portable electronic devices, this should be traveling light soldiers will now have to carry more than 30 kg backpack in front of the war, including at least 1 / 8 load is designed to provide energy for the electronic equipment batteries. Some used for reconnaissance and liaison aircraft and micro-micro-robots as they have to carry heavy batteries and their role in severely affected. If these heavy batteries for micro-engines, their efficiency will be greatly changed. In the medical field, this engine also has a vast battlefield. Scientists, they can be installed in the diabetes and heart disease patients with medical devices, using them to provide lasting power, timing in vivo delivery of insulin for diabetics or people with heart pacemakers to provide energy. In addition, pharmaceutical, chemical manufacturing and processing, micro-mechanical components, this engine has great potential.

Therefore, Jiang Kaichun this engine is very optimistic about the prospects for development. He believes that this research is likely to first use the mobile phone industry. With the constant improvement of engine performance, six years later, the laptop computer and mobile phone battery will be gradually replaced by micro-engines, which will supply energy for portable devices have a profound impact.

Indian Minister presented a prototype of a 25-euro-Tablets

Indian Minister presented a prototype of a 25-euro-Tablets

The price of the Indian government still hopes to push below 10. One has but to date no hardware pavers for pupils of the said device. India’s model would be cheaper than the originally planned $ 100 laptop OLPC.

The Indian government has unveiled a prototype of a tablet computer, which costs only 1500 rupees or the equivalent of just under 25. It is still in development, so the price of the final product could fall even more, it said.

Development Minister Kapil Sibal was the affordable touch screen device in a project can be in New Delhi, where it comes to students across the country provide a better education. The device can be equipped with solar panels as needed, so that it works well in rural India, where there are few power outlets.

The computer has a Linux operating system and offers all the basic functions of a Tablet computer: browsers, software for reading PDF files, wireless LAN and even video conferencing equipment. It is equipped with 2 GB of RAM and a USB port, but has no hard drive. The data is stored on a memory card. According to the Government, the device could have next year to students from elementary school on up are distributed to university students.

Students from several faculties of the Indian Institute of Technology have partnered to prepare various Boards of the savings-Tablet. At the request of the competent ministry they are working on it, the price for the unit to $ 20 (15.50), or even to reduce to $ 10 (7.75).

For the so far unnamed device Minister Sibal, India’s response to the project "One Laptop per Child (OLPC), the MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte. The OLPC project aims to enable children in developing laptops for training purposes.

Originally, for the OLPC computer costs per unit of $ 100 (around 77) is provided. Then they cost but twice. Marvell Technologies in May 2010 but announced to build a machine for OLPC, under the name XO-3, which costs $ 100.

The Cheap Tablet from India would make a better price far. But there are obstacles: Education expert Zubin Malhotra told Newsxlive: "We still need someone who manufacture these devices at this price and they can also develop."

The unit is part of a larger initiative to improve India’s education system with the help of technology. Nearly 8500 universities in the country have received according to the Ministry of Human Resource Development now have broadband access. Approximately 500 web-based courses and videos on Youtube and other online portals available for general use.

Low-grade cobalt prices fall again

Low-grade cobalt prices fall again

Early December, cobalt prices down very fast, low-cost supply on the market are adequate, but the gap between low-grade cobalt prices gradually widening, currently 9-13 dollars / pounds.

Many traders have received many inquiries, but the prices are relatively low interest, and we are reluctant to products sold too low, but the situation has forced them to have to do so.

Currently, there are about 15-20 tonnes of low grade Asian cobalt for sale, delivery in 12 months, the price is $ 9 / lb. To the current price level, the traders said they are more willing to buy and to sell.

Prices are low because a large part of the current downturn in consumption, such as the battery industry, sources said, mobile phone battery manufacturers reflect its production fell by 40%.

A trader said that if production is not reduced by 30%, it is difficult to support the cobalt price.

Recently the largest and most shocking news is that "Warren" Buffett stake in BYD, BYD attracted Buffett in the investment and the stimulation of short-term soared, A-share market's collective power batteries subject shares against the market trend continued broke out, the market continued to highlight one of the few, combined with the last congress meeting, highlighted the following important aspects, such as the scientific concept of development is still the future economic and social development of the fundamental guiding ideology, independent innovation, energy saving reduction and restructuring the economy will remain the most important task; particularly energy-saving environmental protection conference repeatedly mentioned in the past, then the battery energy in the project is an important field for the Third Plenary Session expected to provide macro-control policy to a possible opportunity, the market is expected to expand in the short term rally round the policy of the time and space, fit in all the hot spots and policy background, no doubt to the battery plate into the A-share market The new hot spot, so there is no significant rise in mining power battery tape to avoid the risk species will become one of the strategies. Buffett's investment will enable BYD new energy vehicles in the U.S. and Europe to further accelerate the promotion, but also the battery into a new energy trend.

A miserable slump in global stock market context, the American subsidiary of Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company announced to the price of 8 yuan per share for 225 million shares of BYD Company Limited Subscription (1211.HK) shares about placing this post BYD 10% share, the total amount of the transaction price of approximately HK 1.8 billion. Subsequently, in the Hong Kong-listed shares of BYD (1211.HK) and BYD Electronic (0285.HK) rose sharply crashed, the stock quickly doubled, so that foreign investors look askance! Buffett's BYD choice mainly because of its new energy technology in the automotive industry innovation, and its battery technology in the next revolutionary change in the automotive industry may play a leading role. Master Renshi Xian Energy Research Institute believes that the Government to promote and encourage the development and utilization of new energy policy will not change. This means that the growing tension in the energy and long-term trend, domestic battery and other items with the listed company full of bright prospects for development. The A share market broke battery plate groups provide us with a great imagination, so the context of a real fuel battery as Aspect of the Great Wall Electrical (600,192, it shares) (600,192) full of fuel cell concept, the company and CAS Dalian Institute of Chemical and other common source for the establishment of new joint-stock companies in Dalian, in proton exchange membrane fuel cell development and production. The company relies on its own intellectual property rights of Chinese Academy of Sciences DICP proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, will be a variety of fuel cell production technology and product development, commercialization and industrialization of it as soon as possible, while the acquisition of the company to 51.8 million yuan in Lanzhou Electric Factory 100% equity, the company is mainly engaged in the development of wind power equipment manufacturing and high-end motor business, the development of the doubly fed induction wind generator control device technology leader living in China has Xinjiang Wind Energy Company, Guangdong Nanao Wind Power Plant provide such units, will become a new profit growth point. The lower part of the stock is still hovering seems, once funds in the market phase, the imagination will be very large, the proposed focus.

Innovative applications of RFID

Innovative applications of RFID

Crystal innovative applications of RFID technology introduced - the remote control battery-free RFID

Following the launch ultra high frequency radio identification tags (UHF RFID Tag) IC, the Crystal Technology (stock code: 3535) to re-introduce innovative applications of RFID, the use of UHF RFID technology, energy saving features developed the world's first "free RFID remote control batteries "will be applied to all the remote control of home appliances.

Has long been home appliances such as TV, VCD / DVD recorder, audio, karaoke OK, air conditioning, are using the infrared wireless remote control operation, while the most common IR remote control batteries with two 3A According to statistics, every year the number of the remote control batteries billions of stars, enough to circle around the earth four and a half, so the infrared wireless remote control has become a major global environmental burden.

Crystal use RFID technology, RFID technology is designed remote control, the biggest feature is the low energy, battery-free, and non-directional characteristics, the remote control does not need to be able to operate a visual straight line, so the operating point of view and can be greatly through a barrier remote control to operate high degrees of freedom; In addition, the use of an RFID that can remote control the remote control all audio and video products, home appliances, greatly increasing the convenience of operation. Finally, RFID remote control and a small thickness of the battery, can be designed smaller to changing shape, but also significantly improve product design freedom.

Recently, the characteristics of non-directional wireless radio frequency (RF) remote control technologies become an important development, a variety of high-end electronic products has been gradually equipped with RF remote control, such as the Sony BRAVIA Series LCD TV in with the RF remote control, the remote control interface with ZigBee (IEEE802.15.4) specifications for wireless transmission, wireless frequency 2.4GHz band; Wii and PS3, the use of remote RF Bluetooth technology, wireless 2.4GHz frequency band also. However, these RF wireless (RF) technology and ultra-high frequency RFID technology in comparison, is still quite power, and was not designed for battery-free form.

Crystal RFID technology has been completed using the remote control the development of UHF RFID IC, the RFID IC with remote control 433MHz UHF band, contains 4K-bit EEPROM memory, can resolve the remote control buttons 256 and simultaneously control 3 home appliances, remote control from up to 8 meters. The company also completed integration of IC and circuit board that contains the remote control module, will be 2008/10/7-11 in Taipei World Trade Center Nangang 『organized by the Taiwan International RFID Applications Show 2008』 formally exhibited for visitors remote control to fully experience the advantages of RFID.

Focus on the earth make a contribution to environmental protection, said it would fully Favite battery-free RFID remote extension to replace the current mainstream infrared remote control, remote batteries to reduce the environmental damage on the Earth, but also increase the ease of use the remote control sex. It is estimated that the remote control up to 100 million market, more than a month, the initial marketing strategy of the company will co-brand manufacturers of home appliances, is currently working with a number of important world brand LCD TV vendors to do the detailed discussions of technology integration, free RFID batteries in the remote control will soon appear before the world.

Virginia Tech University developed car for the blind

Virginia Tech University developed car for the blind

2011 the prototype to be ready. The vehicle is equipped with "non-visual interfaces. The researchers received support from the American Blind.

Blindenautos prototype of a modified Ford Escape is (image: CC Kmf164/Wikipedia).

The Virginia Tech University and the American Blind working to enable blind people to drive. The prototype – a modified Ford Escape is – in January 2011 at Daytona International Speedway will be presented.

The vehicle uses a variety of sensors, so-called "non-visual interfaces" that transmit the driver information about its environment. "The challenge was not to develop an autonomous vehicle that drives around a blind man in the area," says Dennis Hong, director of the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory at Virginia Tech University. On the contrary: it must allow a blind person to take Fahrentscheidungen itself.

2007, the Virginia Tech University demonstrated in the DARPA Grand Challenge, a competition for unmanned aerial vehicles, for third place. My car was in a position to carry out traffic and obstacles. Organizers of the competition, the technology department of Defense, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Siemens billion penalty must be paid

Siemens billion penalty must be paid

The Siemens bribery scandal comes at a high price: pay in the United States, the electronics company $ 800,000,000 punishment in Germany again almost 400 million euros. The ex-management could even threaten the U.S. proceedings.

Siemens agreed with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the penalty in the amount of $ 800,000,000 (600 million euros). The sum is made up of a penalty 450 million U.S. dollars to the Justice Ministry and a skimming of 350 million dollars to the SEC. The Munich public prosecutor also imposed a fine on another 395 million euros.

So that the proceedings against the company were for alleged bribery of public officials in both countries simultaneously terminated, said Siemens Supervisory Board Chairman Gerhard Cromme. "Today we close one of the most unpleasant chapters in more than 160-year history of Siemens from essentially."

As the U.S. Justice Department said explicitly, but so are individual cases against former top managers of the company not excluded. The Assistant Attorney General Matthew Friedrich said in Washington: "The investigations are continuing." He also directed massive accusations against the company. The procedure revealed that "corruption was nothing less than normal procedure" for Siemens.

Siemens penalty must be paid because the company wanted to gain competitive advantage through corruption and has violated the rules of corporate governance. A total of 1.4 billion to bribe his shed. That is due in the U.S. especially high penalties.

Siemens had previously been a billion euros for fines to U.S. and German authorities postponed. The U.S. authorities have been relatively merciful, because the offenses fall under the term of the former Siemens management board and the new Board of Directors shows remorse and promises to resolute action against corruption.

In addition to the fine must be Siemens undertake to monitor the future better internally that no bribes are paid. This task is to take ex-Finance Minister Theo Waigel. As an independent "compliance monitor" Waigel will continue to insist on such measures to prevent corruption and to comply with laws and regulations are implemented at Siemens, the company announced today. It would Waigel, who was signed for four years, regularly report to the U.S. Department of Justice and the powerful U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

He was the first non-American who acts as Compliance Monitor, said Siemens Supervisory Board Chairman Gerhard Cromme. "Here too, the empathy and the prudence of the authorities, and certainly this can also be understood as confirmation of the confidence that the company has built up over the past two years with his course of enlightenment and change."

The U.S. investigators have yet again made against the former Siemens boss Heinrich von Pierer collected. Pierer and other ex-Zentralvorstande were despite evidence of corruption cases in the group did not intervene and things did not go to the bottom, it is clear from the investigation documents.

In a written statement by his lawyer Pierer did say he had not been consulted by U.S. authorities. These would be "based only on one side by the Siemens AG provided information."

Lions roar in the jungle road

Lions roar in the jungle road

Classic two-seater sedan or family-safe: the times are also no alternative to the road athletes long gone - it need not always be Porsche. Expensive but it is always.

With the beefy C 63 AMG, Mercedes on a daily use machine that offers the same interior space as a more tranquil normal version of the C-Class. And the luggage no concessions are necessary: 475 liters of luggage compartment - as created by the Porsche just a little more than a quarter.

And even when the price is almost familienkompatibel AMG: 67 830 for the base version, although a bit much. But towards the close to 100,000 for the 911 Porsche Carrera 4 with a double clutch, sport suspension and a few other extras are even on the other hand, a word.

Highly variable and the engine concept. Brawny power, both offer: Porsche creates 283 kW/385 hp, AMG-Mercedes even 336 kW/457 hp. And at Super Plus make it not both. But that's all the similarities, even as far as possible.

The V8 engine in the Mercedes is an optical gem: Who pops up the bonnet, believes in the engine compartment of a truck to look. Large and powerful, the engine takes up the space that it deserves. The aluminum-V and the gleaming black of the panels indicate at once: Here lies nothing but power. Clearly insignificant in the rear of the Porsche Boxer. It works with its six cylinders rather pure squeezed through the narrow hatch - for the eyes, it offers little.

Therefore the more so for the ears: At idle there is a rich rumble - but that will change immediately to a more rapid drum fire as soon as it goes. min until 8000 rpm. the scale of the rev range - and the Porsche roars in staccato almost to the last mark.

But no matter how wonderful the sound of the Porsche boxer is: The AMG V8 engine, it can even better. Dark aggressive and he roars off, as you can with just eight pots. And when manually downshift the new auto-declutch produced simply great cinema for the ears.

Performance-wise, they actually put on the road, take the two engines are not very much - despite the 72 hp and 180 Nm torque is saturated with AMG. The need at 1730 pounds empty weight but also cope with almost 300 pounds more to come as the Porsche weighs. The Mercedes storms officially within 4.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h, the Porsche can be achieved with 0.2 seconds longer.

With Sport Chrono Package, Double clutch and launch control the Zuffenhausen is real even faster than the Mercedes from Affalterbach - because the electronics better while the race start it all still a bit makes a man who gives the Mercedes gas and the only of the - excellent - and 7-speed automatic one not quite as sophisticated as in the sports program is supported Porsche. In addition, the Mercedes hit with its 250 km / h Limiter tilts - likely without the emergency brake he come to the 302 km / h top of the Porsche, at least up close.

No later than at the gas station but then shows that the Porsche is much more modern vehicle. The AMG turns out to be a drunkard - eight cylinder 6.2 liter engine will be supplied. The officially estimated 13.4 liters per 100 km are not even close to achieving real - who leaves so that we really like it and from time to time will also enjoy the blipping, which can be happy if he stays under 18 liters. You can watch the needle of the fuel gauge while driving literally, as it tends to big, mean zero. Not without reason, Audi and BMW to replace their V8 in the sport versions with highly bred six-cylinder.

The 10.6 liters, the Porsche Carrera S as indicating, for the average fuel consumption, by contrast, almost realistic. Even at very dashing with significant highway driving shares around 300 km / h consumption of the entire test was on average only a little over 13 liters. To normal, but still driving spabbetonter 12 liters should be possible.

The reason lies not only in the brand-new boxer engine but also in the much more modern overall concept, the Porsche offers. The transmission of both cars are the best of what is currently available on the market - only use it a lot more to save fuel at Porsche. 80 on the highway at a speed of the two-seater rolls economically in the 7th Corridor. Where's the fun? A kick on the accelerator - and it will shut down instantly and takes off.

The Porsche is simply the much more agile of the two, the sporty flat. Those who want a real high performance sports car - and Made in Zuffenhausen can afford - for which there is no real alternative. Especially not after the current revision of the 911 series.

Who every now and then needs more than two seats, yet very athletic move will be, for the AMG - also still significantly cheaper to buy - the best choice. And for all outdated thirst of the V8 for 30,000 price difference you can fill up a long time.

Bad year for investors

Bad year for investors

Most investors will not like to look back to 2008. After the strong stock market in 2007, the financial crisis led to dramatic drops in the stock markets. But the German market broke nearly in half.

"That was a disaster," says Lothar Gries of the Protection of Shareholders (SdK). "In almost all investors, it should" give a very low, minus the deposit, he added. The German Bank speaks of an "annus horribilis". The benchmark index Dax broke the year as a 40 per cent and was quoted yesterday at 4652 points, after 2007 still increased by about 20 percent. The M-Dax fell by as much as 46 percent to 5264 points and is currently the TecDax fell by 53 percent to 459 points.

The largest losses were registered again because of the financial crisis in the Dax, the Bank values. Hypo Real Estate fell down, by 92 percent to 2.88 euros. German Postbank broke a 77 percent to 12,94 euros, Commerzbank fell by 76 percent to 6.25 euros and German bank became cheaper by 69 percent 25.99 euros. Already in 2007 they had heard because of the emerging financial crisis on the most losers.

The title of "Worst Dax-value" shares the Hypo Real Estate but with Infineon, which also lost 92 percent. Already last year they had fallen by 18 percent, the worst paper in the leading index. From the former high of around 95, the share of the former Siemens subsidiary, has now mutated at 0.65 euros at the Penny-Stock.

The clearest winner was Volkswagen, which became more expensive by 98 percent and the year was yesterday quoted at around 308.00. In the wake of the announced takeover by Porsche, the share of Europe's largest car company on speculation by financial investors through so-called short sales had increased for short periods even at over 1000. In addition, could only withdraw Dax rookie K + S the downward trend. The papers of the Kassel fertilizer producers recorded an increase of two percent.

In the second row got especially ProSiebenSat.1 under the wheels. The share of the Munich television group lost 92 percent to 1.47 euros. Is seen critical in particular that can be the majority owner Permira and KKR by the Group in spite of high debt to pay strong dividends. Also, the retail group Arcandor (Thomas Cook, Karstadt, Quelle) recorded with 85 percent to 2.70 a drastic fall in prices. The company writes still deep red numbers.

The only M-Dax-winners were the North German Affinerie with a gain of 9.5 percent to 29.17 euros. Europe's largest copper smelter, which exceeded several times the profit expectations of experts, has benefited from the acquisition of Belgian competitor Cumerio as well as from the entry of the steel group Salzgitter.

In a particularly strong TecDax broke Solar shares. Above all, Conergy fell by 96 percent to 0.89 euros. The financially troubled Hamburger solar provider has several profit warnings still not recovered. Could only convince Epcos. The shares of the Munich manufacturer of electronic components goods rose by 58 percent to 19.80 euros. They benefited from the takeover by the Japanese electronics company TDK, which now holds 94 percent of Epcos.

Apple keeps clean sheet in black times

Apple keeps clean sheet in black times

The computer and iPod maker Apple has closed last year with a record quarter. Especially with laptops, the company increased significantly in California, and also the iPhone sold better than Apple had even thought of.

Sales in the fiscal first quarter ended in late December by 5.9 percent to 10.17 billion U.S. dollars (8.23 billion euros). When Apple’s profit rose 1.8 percent to 1.61 billion dollars. It was the first time that the company recorded more than ten billion dollars in sales in one quarter, Apple said after U.S. market close yesterday. The post-trade share increased by nearly seven percent to $ 89.90.

From the iPhone mobile device have been well sold 4.36 million - an increase of 88 percent year over year. However, Apple could not connect to the nearly 6.9 million iPhones in the quarter before. At that time, sales of smart phones with the launch of the new UMTS-capable iPhone 3G had been boosted.

In calendar year 2008, Apple has sold a total of about 13.67 million iPhones, exceeding its own target of substantially ten million. For the year 2008 the iPhone was available in 70 countries.

With a good 22.7 million iPods were sold at an increase of three percent as many of these multimedia players like never before. Apple sees the U.S. market share for MP3 players at 73 percent.

Sales of Macintosh computers rose by nine percent year over year to 2.52 million. The deciding factor was the launch of a new generation of MacBook notebooks. Sales of mobile computers shot up by over a third to just under 1.8 million. By contrast, sales of desktop computers fell by a quarter to 728 000 units.

In a conference call after earnings, it was again, the ill CEO Steve Jobs will also meet during his time out of the strategic decisions. Jobs had announced last week that he would pause until the end of June to seek treatment because of a hormonal disorder.

The commercial success of Apple is overshadowed by the debate on Jobs’ Health. Supposedly now examine the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, if Apple has adequately informed about the health problems of the corporate bosses. The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg financial news agency reported yesterday by the investigation, citing informed people.

Given the months of speculation about Jobs’ health had asked investors and industry observers repeated or complex information. They point out that Jobs is a driving force behind the success of Apple. The stock has given the health problems of 53-year-old Apple co-founder for months on roller coaster ride.

Jobs declined last week, details on his health. "Why do you guys let me in peace - why is that important?" He told Bloomberg by phone. He had given shortly before, the treatment is more complex than first thought and he therefore had yet to take a break. Earlier this month, had jobs reported by the hormone disruption and even announced during therapy to want to stay in office.

Help, my car is broke!

Help, my car is broke!

Even rumors of a bankruptcy car manufacturers add a lot of damage - because fear many customers continue to stand without help. The example shows Rover but, even with an insolvent brand can very well go on.

The British car industry can sing of bankruptcies, bad luck and breakdowns many a song. From mass production and market diversity of the last century on the island has remained little left. The last major victim was the traditional brand of Rover, who is also a brief flirtation with BMW from 1994 to 2000 could not on its feet. In April 2005, there were still at MG Rover the tapes. The remnants of the bankrupt carmaker sold - even in Germany and in part with drastic price reductions.

The Rover 75 is built by 2005 as a whole successful, stylish car, and is still seen regularly on the streets. But the uncertain future of the brand was sealed even before the bankruptcy, the fate of the limousine. An insolvent brand new car can bring difficulty to the man.

"The bigger the vehicle, the more difficult to make this. In particular, the important corporate market threatens to collapse in bankruptcy, for hardly a vehicle leasing company will buy a bankrupt manufacturer. The residual values of vehicles going very fast in the basement. This makes the lease payments is significantly higher than in its competitors and the demand goes to zero, "said Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, professor of automotive economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

But break away not only the financial transaction could. "The prices of used vehicles will be devalued. Since the dealers are stocked with large quantities of used cars, which means they are also a very difficult situation. It's almost like a domino effect with pebbles pebbles to fall, "says Dudenhoeffer.

Automobile associations and consumer groups have already been inquiries from concerned motorists who fear a threat of insolvency of their brand. Some manufacturers provide long warranties on their vehicles - but what are the value in the event of insolvency? Silvia Schattenkirchner, head of consumer protection law and the ADAC, is at least partially clear:

"In the case of a manufacturer bankruptcy is seen purely legal but real risk that the customer loses the right to guarantee and can not be satisfied from the bankruptcy estate. In practice, likely at a major car manufacturer may find a successor, who advocates the rights and obligations of the company. In addition, the dealer to the customer from the statutory warranty remain committed. "

Even when your own car brand did not survive the promised warranty period, motorists must at least not afraid to stay with her car on the track. "The supply of spare parts is basically a very profitable business. In the bankruptcy, this is run with security. Here one can expect to buy in the worst case, bankruptcy, other companies, the spare parts supply system and "ensure further said Dudenhoffer.

The example of Rover shows that drivers even with relatively small marks are not quite in the rain. "The situation today shows that the owners of MG and Rover vehicles in the last series so far apparently have not the pressure to have to come together in communities, in order to keep their cars roadworthy," exults Reinhard townhouse, spokesman for the Rover Friends of Germany.

There continues to former Rover dealers and new service agents could about the company XPart procure parts and workshop personnel possessed that was familiar with the technology of the newer MG and Rover models. "Until now I still is not a case has shown," in which a needed spare part could not be procured, says City Hall.

The more modern the car, the more likely, however, the dependence on a functioning service network are: the motto "Now I can help myself" Where the rapidly growing proportion of electronics in the car and complex vehicle software build ever more difficult.

A race like a battle

A race like a battle

Monsoon rains in Malaysia: In the chaos of Sepang has Jenson Button prevented BrawnGP a German double victory and won after Rennabbruch. Nick Heidfeld and Timo Glock were washed after tactical masterpieces, who finished second and third.

As a big winner in the memorable race went out in the BMW-Sauber Nick Heidfeld and Timo Glock in the Toyota, which slipped to second and third place. Glock had changed shortly before the big rain on intermediates and was so for some time the fastest man on the course, sometimes eight seconds per lap faster than the competition started.

Heidfeld had a full tank at the start and could remain so for the longest time on the track until his first pit stop. He could not decide alone on the right tires, while others who came in earlier, and had raised him wrong then again in the box. A pit stop cost a total of about 25 seconds. Drivers had used the chaos of Sepang four pit stops, Heidfeld only one.

Curious: It was only in the dry Heidfeld was told that he had even landed in front of Glock. Also to the surprise of his boss, who had to complain early in the third round out of the Robert Kubica. "I have only discovered at the award ceremony that Nick is second," said Theissen.

While Lewis Hamilton world champion was able to operate under its Reuegestandnis because of the affair lies in seventh place with Australia hardly mitigation, Ferrari enjoyed clear rounds with the next one again fiasco. "A race like a battle," said Mercedes motorsport director Norbert Haug: "Anyone who thought in these terms his car on the street, is now a hero."

Nico Rosberg had bad luck, who had led the field for some early rounds and was seen at the end of eighth. Sebastian Vettel, from returning to start due to a 10 ranks from number 13 came from, not about 15th place out. Adrian Sutil was 17th as Force India led.

had the last Rennabbruch due to rain, it gave in Australia in 1991. At that time, after 14 rounds of 81 final. Now that the second World Championship race was abandoned because of heavy rain in the sauna of Sepang and dusk 24 laps to go, get all the drivers, only half of the points.

The driver himself set about to, that was discontinued by 17 time clock started racing. After nearly an hour interruption agreed to the race and told the Grand Prix was over. The scoring was carried out according to the state of 33 rounds.

The race had started well from a German perspective. Rosberg raced from fourth place to the top, button fell back to fourth place and delivered a Überholduell by the double world champion Fernando Alonso. Glock lost four positions and was a first eighth. Heidfeld were next, the disciplinary reasons after his accident in Australia Vettel and Hamilton.

The pit stop in the 13th round opened Vettel Round, who had earlier expected to rain, and two laps later made Rosberg hold. Both returned with dry tires on the course, also Button. Not so Kimi Raikkonen: Ferrari's official car equipped with rain tires, but initially remained dry. After the qualification of Felipe Massa gambled away with 16th place the next tactical Ferrari fiasco with consultant Michael Schumacher in the pits.

As the storm went off 36 minutes after start of the race, Raikkonen desperately radioed: "My tires are broken." Busy in the pit lane in the 22 Round: the still not equipped with rain tires car came into the pit lane. Only Glock decided to use the so-called intermediate - and this was rinsed briefly after the first half of the race to the top.

But the rain got stronger, the safety car was in the 32th Round out. Vettel flew off, the electronics failed, the engine went out. Others followed. The race stewards decided on a break. "It's like a sauna with infusion," said Haug. "There is now a struggle against darkening darkness, said BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen after the race was started in the late afternoon local time. And was not added.

The (E) xtreme class

The (E) xtreme class

525 hp and a sprint in 4.5 seconds from 0 to 100 Cases: The Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG is the most powerful E-Class ever lenovo thinkpad t400 battery. We were there at the last vote of the sedan rides on the track.

You could call it the Green Hell of France: The Circuit Mas du Clos lies deep in the wooded southern France, so far from any large city, that it even say good night to the fox and the hare is deposited.

An ideal place, therefore, to test in peace so far the most powerful E-Class. lenovo thinkpad r400 battery AMG boss Volker Mornhinweg and his engineers in Mas du Clos give the car a final polish. The actual tests are already running.

The result is a car that is at the touch of the brave family carriage to the racing machine. The center console is Papis games console, because there can be numerous changes to the setup of the vehicle. Thus, the ESP can bring in a sport mode with larger tolerances or completely off or even adjust the firmness of the suspension in three stages.

Similar to the BMW M3 with the "M" key opens the E 63 an AMG-key store with the driver’s favorite settings and recall kann.Im Sport Plus mode is extremely short switching times to the spontaneous throttle response all on Speed brushed. The V8 engine delivers 525 hp and 630 Newton meters of torque sent to the crankshaft.

The brute force does the least E 63 on a dry surface with no snags over the rear wheels on the road – even blinks when accelerating out of the curve, the ESP lamp, and you find very little interference from the electronics.

With the two-stage turn-off skid increases of course the fun factor. The breaking of the tail is preceded in time, so you can hunt with a little counter-steering and gas-dose use the car in a light drift around the curve. The gear change can be left to the automatic seven-speed gearbox or seek the shift paddles on the steering wheel.

The electronic damping keeps itself upright at high lateral acceleration of the body, lenovo thinkpad t500 battery it is compared to the normal E-Class more negative camber on the wheels. 360 mm wide, internally ventilated and perforated brake discs bring the sedan to a halt, there are optional ceramic brakes.

Compared to the C 63 AMG, the optical changes are on the E-class is rather small – even if there are things such as new front and rear bumper, wider side sills and two chromed twin tailpipes. "The customers of the C-Class will also show the cars, the E-Class is slightly more understated" is required, says AMG boss Mornhinweg.

Technically, the E 63 AMG, however far away some of the Mercedes-series sedan. There are, for example, a completely redesigned front suspension with a wider track. Something every component of the 1840-pound car has been compared to the base vehicle redesigned or modified.

To the 525-hp sedan class, at least in comparison to fuel savings can move, AMG is set to "Controlled Efficiency." These include brake energy regeneration and a special control program in which most quickly changed gears and speeds are reduced by about 30 percent.

Interview: Tut 3D really hurt?

Interview: Tut 3D really hurt?

If you read the latest warning from the manufacturer Samsung, compaq battery, quickly has the impression that 3D films can harm their own body. Of epileptic seizures and stroke there is the question. News.de explains what’s behind it.

Epileptic seizures, strokes, dizziness, and disorientation – the list with the side effects of 3D, in which just warns electronics manufacturer Samsung is long and reads like the information in a questionable drug. Several media reports have already taken this warning and here we read of theories, which state that could benefit from the 3D result in the loss of spatial vision. But what’s really behind it?

"Samsung is cautious and trying to hedge against potential liability claims by them against every possible side effect warning," says Marty Banks, professor of optometry and Sehwissenschaft at Berkeley University. He no evidence is known that 3D movies or television can have such drastic consequences for its viewers. However, the professor is cautious, adding: "There are, however, there is no clear evidence against." It lacked long-term studies, and intensive research to provide reliable answers, "There is just common sense."

The struggle of the eyes

Eye fatigue and discomfort, according to Banks, however, are known side effects and can be explained simply. When we watch a 3D film, then the eye must perform movements that are in a real environment completely unnatural. It might be a conflict between the vergence eye functions and accommodation. Vergence is the eye movement to look at an object. In a natural environment, the eyes are aiming at only a single object and not two. At the same time that an object focused by the eyes and in focus – this process is called accommodation. This changes the curvature of the lens. In a natural environment, the two processes relate to an object at the same distance.

"On a 3D canvas suspended this coupling", says Banks. While the eyes must constantly thinkpad x61s battery focus on the screen itself, it happens that objects pop out again and again from the screen or behind it lie. "The visual system must therefore fight against the natural pairing and this can be shown to have eye pain, blurred perception or even" cause headaches, says the professor.

Progress reduces conflicts

The fact that some spectators roaring with skulls from the 3D cinema is lying, especially because the distances between screen, projector and viewers often are not optimal, also knows Michael Bönnhoff of the production and post production digital images to report.

In the old 3D versions – some with blue-red glasses – that was much worse, because: For the analog 3-D film was needed, two different copies of the film, each for the right and the left eye. These were then played through two projectors that had to be accurately synchronized to each other. This worked only rarely. The result: right and left eye saw images that did not fit together.

But still blur on the screen play a trick on the brain. The same applies to the rate of reproduction. Bönnhoff is convinced that these problems are corrected in the next few years.

Until then, viewers can even do something about the headache of 3D cinema. If he sometimes let not be completely avoided, but the problem could be diminished by the fact that movie-goers put as far away from the screen, so Banks.

Great improvements have been the digitization of the 3D film, but already, because: "The digital era allows producers to better match the images with each other and to minimize the differences sony vgp-bps8 battery in both eyes low in order to reduce conflicts", says Blanks.

Conversion of producers

"Modern projectors can now work with pinpoint accuracy in order to" superimpose the images, which are highly cameras Doppelobjektiv, Bönnhoff makes clear. In the future, it is also an object of the playwright, makeup and lighting technicians to implement the special 3-D conditions better.

But there are problem areas that need to be resolved elsewhere. For example, ten percent of all people worldwide are not able to see space. For them, the 3D experience is also difficult to access in the future. Meanwhile, the effect is unclear, the spatial cinema has on children. "With them we know indeed canon lp-e6 battery that they can see with space for about four years. But when will it really make sense for them to 3D perception, it must "first be explored, is Bonnhoff convinced.
