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.

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.
