Japanese consulting company supported investments in solar tower … – SolarServer

Valentia (Tokyo, Japan) will make strong investments in the solar tower technology EnviroMission (Melbourne, Australia) to its expand presence in commercial energy innovations that support the sustainability goal of the company, reported EnviroMission.

Valentia was convinced that the power plant technology EnviroMission will make an important contribution to a future clean and sustainable energy supply with solar energy.

Valentia intends to expand its presence abroad through a comprehensive and long-term partnership with EnviroMission and primarily benefit from business opportunities in the United States.

The main reason for this decision was the favorable political landscape, according to the press release. EnviroMission has proposed in La Paz in southwestern Arizona, the first solar tower project.

Valentia will solicit a total of US $ 110 million

“We have recognized the importance of technology EnviroMission and want in a first tranche of 10 million US dollars of USD 110 million solicit,” said Takeshi Ono, chairman of Valentia.

Representatives of Valentia, EnviroMission and affiliated companies had met in July 2015 Arizona, to discuss how a solar tower power plant in the region is feasible and the environmental benefits it would bring.

Technology: 15 years of “Competence Center Semiconductor and Optical … – Business-on

 The Technology Center scores for 15 years with the success of the Competence Center – an innovation for the region and its businesses!
 

15 years ago, the ambitious project of a competence center for companies in the semiconductor technology and optical technologies in the Technology Centre Siegen launched. ! A good time for a mid-term review

“The competence center is a good example of the successful structural policy in Siegen,” said Reinhard fighters, Managing Director of Business Promotion Agency KM: SI GmbH In the 90s of the last century. so fighters, there were startling technological developments at the Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS) of the University of Siegen. The management at city and district of Siegen-Wittgenstein and the Managing Director of Technologie¬zentrums saw here a chance for a leap in technology. Therefore, the Technology Centre Siegen a “thin-Service Center” established to support the transfer from science to business.

In 1995, the world’s first imaging sensor was here then developed, which did not involve the traditional lens technology. At the turn of the millennium ultimately were the research and development in ZESS ripe for entry into the economic market. With the support of the EU and the country’s economy ministry’s competence center was built, in which half a dozen young and very small businesses shots from the surroundings of ZESS their activities.

From the initial 26 employees and an annual turnover of 830,000 euros has developed a volume of more than 200 employees with a turnover of around 37 million euros in Siegen until today – a true success story!

From the very beginning Dr. Horst Heinol-Heikkinen was with his company ASENTICS GmbH & amp; Co. KG. The company is a manufacturer of quality assurance systems for all kinds of products, whether it be a razor blade, a blood dialysis filter or a crankshaft for reputable motorists. Special machines with optical surface inspection and rapid 360-degree examination rea¬lisieren a 100% quality control and offer customized solutions for the markets in the automotive, electronics, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, medicine, rubber and plastic.

“Today ASENTICS is one of the leading application-oriented Bildverar-beitungsunternehmen in Europe”, says Managing Director Horst Heinol-Heikkinen. “We have successfully established ourselves in the global market and adopted a market and technology gieführende position.” A development that KM: SI CEO Reinhard sees fighters as a result of a consistent structural policy: “We are a region of mechanical engineering and sensor technology is a key technology for this industry. By ZESS as a recognized academic institution, the technology center as a location for innovative companies and a highly qualified training facility as the vocational college, we have a closed chain of technology infrastructure, entrepreneurial success makes possible, “said a fighter. At the Technology Centre Siegen, which was founded in 30 years, around 450 people are employed in 49 production-oriented Dienst¬leistungsunternehmen. In addition to the core competence center, the Technology Centre Siegen operates a nationally significant Weiterbildungs¬zentrum, which counts more than 40,000 visitors a year.

Skylanders, Sphero BB-8 and Co .: technology change in the playroom – Giga.de

The Skylanders in 2011 impressively demonstrated how to successfully coupled a mix of physical toys and digital game content and thus not only excited children. Since then a lot has changed, Nintendo and Disney moved to the same segment, but the “Toys-to-life” -Sparte are now more ago than fixed Sammelfiguren that communicate with a console. We provide an overview of new technologies in the playroom.

Built-up robotics technology, App Support and Artificial Intelligence are just three key concepts that integrate producers increasingly common in new toys. With Spheros BB-8, Anki Overdrive or the robotic dinosaur Miposaur there already this year some promising toys that can not only score points by far the young target audience.

Earlier this year reported Activision three billion US dollar sales with the multiplatform game Skylanders. As a hybrid of video game and physical Sammelfiguren thus already walked 2011 concept that a manual to print money equaled. Lured with starter packets, it is primarily the additional packages that enable long time repeatedly buyer. With the amiibos managed Nintendo – as always a couple of years too late – a similar coup. Disney moved previously by having Disney Infinity. The concept of all these collectible figurines is quite simple, the actual benefit quite clear. Especially when it comes Nintendo seem especially likely to include the aspect of collecting as a truly meaningful, playful integration. In Skylanders and Disney Infinity, the pawns are placed on a sort of portal and wake up in the game to life. The Nintendo amiibos other hand, can be activated via a button on the WiiU controller or the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike the characters of Disney and Activision there for amiibos but no fixed video games – they are much more integrated into many Nintendo titles. If, for example in Yoshi’s Woolly World a amiibo of Mario on the button looks the otherwise green dinosaur like the famous plumber from Nintendo.



droids and robotics racecars

more demanding in a direction to go now other manufacturers, use the actual robotics technology and artificial intelligence, and have further developed compared to very early products such as the robotic dog AIBO by Sony, strong. This was introduced in 1999 and at that time cost a small fortune. Am currently best known is certainly the BB-8, which in the context of the launch of Star Wars: Episode VII – The awakening of the power is to be sold. Manufacturer Sphero developed the little robot, which is controlled by users with a matching smartphone app. Since the beginning of September to buy, has the small ball-droid on three key modes: Patrol mode he explored on your own its surroundings, bangs against furniture and walls, but can use the corresponding app create a map of the area and this in future exploring Refetch. So it goes at least the obstacles out of the way, with whom he still collided at the first time. In Drive mode, you take on itself the control of BB-8 and tried to work to maneuver the robot through the hazard-free apartment. The whole thing works here even with voice control. In the spirit of the films, you can record hologram messages in a third mode and let these (so far only on the app) to play.



Similar to BB-8 also operate the racing cars from Anki. The vehicles in Anki Overdrive can be controlled by the player, but can also go independently and provide, depending on the difficulty, challenging opponents are. Using individual track parts can be built complex, individual routes. The so-called supercars go completely autonomously each route at least one lap down – on your smartphone, you can follow the progress of this scanning process in real time. But as with BB-8 itself no sensors are installed in the car that build the track and “Remember”, but the corresponding app that constantly communicates either via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with the cars. The vehicles are equipped with a floor-mounted camera that scan 500 times the distance per second and are thus informed at all times about their current position. There is code that is read by the cars on each branch. Using artificial intelligence make the vehicles within seconds decisions, attack their competition or behave defensively. Anki has thereby a stronger focus on video game elements and showered after each race experience points, rewards and digital upgrades for the players.



Smartphone as a central control and operating unit

Miposaur

In all featured toys, act the use of robotics and artificial intelligence, the smart phone is an integral part of the use. Although there are toys that can also be controlled via hand movements or external add-on products (such as the Miposaur from WowWee) – the smartphone as a central control and communication element nevertheless always present and often clearer than gestures. In addition, it is of course also has practical reasons for using a smartphone so – Toy manufacturers can outsource many complex calculations on an app for the smartphone and have to ensure that product and app easily communicate with each other. The communication between devices is not new. “Internet of Things” as a generic term for the vision of continuously interconnected and communicating devices, for several years describes a major innovation in the way in which you can network products from all areas together

Conclusion:. Conquered Robotics the kids – and also the hobby room

still a few years ago unthinkable, but by the rapid technological progress, the toys of the future celebrating gradually their debut in children’s and living rooms. However, it raises the question of how sustainable the now featured physical toys really are. Skylanders and Co. so much that they offer as a video game potentially hours of entertainment – the collection figures themselves, however, are fairly rigid. Both Anki overdrive and BB-8 are more versatile by the associated app. The different game modes offer more than half an hour of fun. The Miposaur ensures at least by different control options (gestures, trackball and app) for different playing styles. The featured toys in this case represent only the status quo of current technical feasibility. It is assumed that new ambitious projects are tackled each year, the advance also this segment ever and can be complex. That such a “toy” is not just something for children, but also for tech-savvy adult, goes without saying.

Technology groups imaginable as carmakers for many young people – mobiFlip.de

One of the next topics in the tech world is autonomous driving, or self-propelled cars. It is no wonder that even technology companies move closer to the automotive industry. Therefore, a study on this subject is interesting.

According to a recent survey by Capgemini, motorists would be quite willing to accept new players in this market and for VW, Mercedes and Co. back turn. The graph above shows the percentage of motorists in seven different countries who can imagine buying a car from a technology group.

a willingness to corporations like Apple is especially pronounced to give confidence even when buying a car at young consumers. 65 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds can imagine. In the 50+ age group, the proportion is only 26 percent. How exactly does with you from?

3D Touch and Force Touch: A technology for the future? – AndroidPIT (blog)

Apple

Force Touch has already been introduced with the Apple Watch. The display of the SmartWatch from Cupertino was award two pressure stages in a position and therefore trigger different actions. This expansion of the operation had to incorporate Apple, because they wanted to send the user a simple operation on the still very small display

After this little pilot phase in the Apple Watch the Force-touch technology from Apple now holds now also in the latest Apple-generation collection. The iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus are the first mass produced smartphones with pressure-sensitive displays, although Huawei has come with the presentation of the Force-touch enabled Mate S at the IFA 2015 in Berlin Apple before.



How does Force Touch and 3D touch anyway?

Basically, you can Force Touch or 3D touch as in the pressure-sensitive S Pen with the Galaxy Note 5 imagine, only with the big difference that one for input uses his fingers and held the recognition on the display. Thus, it is clear: For Force Touch a special touch panel is needed that can measure the pressure strength on the smartphone display. Conventional capacitive display contrast, only recognize the touch of a conductive object on the surface. In the recognition of different pressure stages of the touchscreen must constantly recognize the pressure exerted on the glass print and evaluate.

According to Huawei, the Force-touch display in Mate S pressure strengths should be able to between one and perceive and process four Newton. How sensitive is the 3D-Touch display of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, Apple is not yet price.

In order to measure the pressures, an additional layer in the display must be integrated. This makes the display a little thicker, the Huawei Mate with S Force Touch is about 0.5 mm thicker than the model without new printing technology.

Which functions are possible? P > If you could have been playing with the S Pen of the Galaxy Note 4 or with the grade 5, then you know that different pressures only in drawings or notes is possible actually. Much more is not with the S Pen in printing sensitivity possible. Here is actually touch and 3D Force Touch a huge leap forward. When Huawei Mate S could, depending on how strongly you press on the display, for example, in pure photos and get back in. It is also the S Mate in the Force Touch version also possible to hide the on-screen buttons and the Mate S realized then by vigorously pressing the bottom of the display, if you want to have back or the multitask view to the home screen.

The highlight of the Huawei Mate with S Force Touch is definitely the possibility of using the smartphone as a balance, even if it can only perceive between 100 and 400 grams. It is clear that this function is certainly not very often used in everyday life and it is questionable how accurate the scales integrated app of Mate S is indeed, but as a party gag or demonstration of Force-touch technology is terrific. All what is currently feasible with Force Touch in Mate S unfortunately, is not comparable to Apple’s 3D Touch.

Last block: the operating system

Only to build in a pressure-sensitive display in a smartphone, brings nothing, if the operating system or apps, the information can not be processed. Apple shows impressively how to exploit the possibilities of 3D touch thanks to hardware and software from a single source. Many additional actions have been integrated by Apple into the system. For example, you can add a fixed pressure on the phone icon and select Speed ​​Dials. Also an overview of e-mails about can be displayed by a firmer pressure. If you press more firmly on the screen of the iPhone 6s, then the e-mail then opens in full-screen. That opens up the a 3D touch panel just a few examples of the possibilities. All the calls Apple Peek and Pop.

In the few hours that I until now had time to play around with the iPhone 6s Plus and gather impressions Force Touch, you have to say that Apple here once again shows that there are advantages has that hardware and software come from one source. How good 3D Touch on iPhone 6s Plus works, you can see in the following video.

Airbus makes push for wireless technology for pilots – FinanzNachrichten.de

By Andy Pasztor

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones) – The Airbus Group SE consists in representatives of aviation and supervisory authorities on both sides of the Atlantic for common standards in wireless communications in aircraft.

So far, at least the public focus has focused on improved wireless technology for passengers. But the thrust of Airbus aims that pilots ultimately could use wireless technology to assist in flying. The initiative of the European aircraft manufacturer, in which, inter alia, the Airbus-Boeing rival involved is less well known, and Airbus has not made its foray publicly. So far, it is only possible designs, as pilots could make the wireless technology future advantage.

Airbus engineers would consider wireless technology as “additional redundancy layer” in security applications to move, for example, wing and tail of an aircraft, said an Airbus spokesman. In the technology increases safety against failure through the use of redundancy. The spokesman said, however, if this will ever realized, it was still a “long process”.

is in a letter in early September to the US Advisory Committee RTCA, the recommendations for communication, navigation and surveillance of air traffic management, presented Airbus before a general draft. The industry-wide initiative “Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications” is likely to be subject in November in Geneva and in the “World Radio Communications Conference”. According to industry estimates, the proposed wireless technology could eventually replace about one-third of all wire technology aircraft currently.

Electric cars: New technology increases the efficiency of fuel cells – German Economic News

A new coating process ensures that fuel gases can be converted into electricity quickly. This lowers the cost of fuel cells that power, for example electric cars. An advantage of these cars is that they take exhaust produce steam.

electric cars produce instead of exhaust gases, water vapor, that’s why they are especially in emerging economies such as China popular (Photo: AP)

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have developed a coating that makes the fuel more effectively. The novelty of the coating is that it is hygroscopic in some places. The water then flows exclusively via these sites. Thus, the flow of the gases is no longer as in the past disturbed the water.

The new method improves the performance and stability of the fuel cell. The current which is produced in these cells, For example, driving electric cars. The advantage of cars that are powered by fuel cells is that they only produce steam instead of gas. Steam is namely the only chemical product that is produced during the ongoing reaction. Since 2013 production-ready fuel cell cars are available. Researchers worldwide are busy, to increase the efficiency of the cells, thereby reducing the cost of these. The new procedure is according to the researchers suitable for mass production.

Fuel cells generate from the gases hydrogen and oxygen electricity. They produce water that flows out of the cell. A problem has hitherto been to discharge the water from the parts of the cell in which it is undesirable. These are the pores of the gas diffusion layer, which provides for the supply and distribution of the gases to the electrodes of the cell. If water collects there, it impedes the flow of gases and it gets electricity production to a standstill.

Until now, the gas diffusion layer so evenly coated with a water-repellent plastic. The problem of uniform coating however, was that the water has randomly distributed. The pores, which remained free for the passage of gases, thus formed no direct, but an indirect way. Therefore, the gases came only slowly to the electrodes, which minimizes the power of the cell.

The new coating ensures that the water fixed direct way to drain selected. This also arises a direct access for the gases to the electrodes. The Researchers achieved by making the water-repellent coating on the basis of straight paths hygroscopic. This creates water channels through which the water flows. All other areas of the layer remain dry and allow the unhindered influx of gases.

To prepare the water channels, the researchers hydrophilic molecules had to use in the structure of the original plastic. With an electron beam the coating was prepared so that it can bind hydrophilic molecules. The electron beam is guided through a metal mesh, so that two different areas are formed. Where the beam passes through the grid, the original coating can be changed so that it is hygroscopic. Where the beam does not pass through the mesh, the coating remains with its water repellency.

Airbus makes push for wireless technology for pilots – Finanzen.net

By Andy Pasztor

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones) – The Airbus Group SE consists in representatives of aviation and supervisory authorities on both sides of the Atlantic for common standards in wireless communications in aircraft.

So far, at least the public focus has focused on improved wireless technology for passengers. But the thrust of Airbus aims that pilots ultimately could use wireless technology to assist in flying. The initiative of the European aircraft manufacturer, in which, inter alia, the Airbus-Boeing rival involved is less well known, and Airbus has not made its foray publicly. So far, it is only possible designs, as pilots could make the wireless technology future advantage.

Airbus engineers would wireless technology as “additional redundancy layer” consider in security applications to move, for example, wing and tail of an aircraft, said an Airbus spokesman. In the technology increases safety against failure through the use of redundancy. The spokesman said, however, if this will ever realized, it was still a “long process”.

In a letter in early September to the US Advisory Committee RTCA, are the recommendations for communication, navigation and surveillance of air traffic management, presented Airbus a general draft. The industry-wide initiative “Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications” is likely to be subject in November in Geneva and in the “World Radio Communications Conference”. According to industry estimates, the proposed wireless technology could eventually replace about one-third of all wire technology aircraft currently.
