Efficient Dynamics with Sleek and Smooth Design BMW Vision

BMW Vision

The Vision EfficientDynamics is a concept vehicle for future by BMW which is a low carbon hybrid supercar aiming to achieve the premium end of the auto market with its fuel-efficient design. A three-cylinder turbodiesel engine is empowering this vehicle supported by a couple of electric motors. This car can go 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 250 kmph and consumes 3.76 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. It features an electric mode for day to day use that can be charged through plug-in module. The vehicle stores the power it lithium polymer cells, allowing it to drive for roughly 50km on a single charge, which can be extended through its regenerative breaking system.

Efficient Dynamics With Sleek And Smooth Design

The sleek and smooth design of this car with a visage can easily call out for anyone’s attention. It can house 4 people and natural materials have been utilized to design the interior. Both the drag coefficient and weight of the vehicle is optimized by redistributing and reducing the weight to maximize the energy efficiency and improve driving ability. Both the door and roof inserts become opaque as a final touch, which reduces the amount of glare coming to the vehicle.

Apple IPad2

Apple Ipad2 Unveiling

The event of march2 2011 at San Francisco saw the unveiling of the Apple iPad2, thinner, faster and lighter featuring camera and gyro, ios 4.3 and face time. With the same battery life it has iMovie and GaragrBand also featuring 3G on AT&T and Verizon.

The event witnessed the presence of the apple CEO Steve jobs; he said “It's in Apple's DNA that technology is not enough. Its tech married with the liberal arts and the humanities. Nowhere is that more true than in the post-PC products. Our competitors are looking at this like it's the next PC market. That is not the right approach to this. These are pos-PC devices that need to be easier to use than a PC, more intuitive.

Features

• It is an all new design
• features A5 processor
• iPad 2 is thinner- just 8.4mm
• weighs just 1.3 pounds
• Front and rear facing cameras
• position-based apps with gyroscope
• ios 4.3 and face time
• iMovie and GaragrBand
• 3G on AT&T and Verizon

Jobs further showed an introductory video on ipad2. He said “We think 2011 is clearly the year of iPad 2” the ipad2 will be available from March 11th in the US while it will be released for the world on 25th march. Apart from the much awaited iPad2, apple also announced A smart cover for it. The smart cover iPad accesory comes with a flap that covers the ipad2 magnetically and can form various shapes to turn into a stand and cover the device for protection. The covers will be available in 10 different colours. It also announced a HDMI adapter that allows 180 video output. It and works with all the applications. The announcement of iPad 2 and presence of Jobs for the event made it just perfect and the crowds went crazy with each announcement. Priced at $499 it’s not dramatically cheaper as anticipated.

Nokia -The Morph Concept Phone

The Morph Concept Phone-Nokia

Another innovative design concept from Nokia, the morph concept. Featured in The Museum of Modern Art ?Design and The Elastic Mind? exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. Developed by NRC (Nokia Research Center) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom), Morph is a concept phone that using nanotechnology which enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Users should be able to transform their cell phone into different shapes.

Nokia Concept The Morph Phone

Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices: * Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
* Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices”
We probably see this technology another 5-7 years in the future, by using nanotechnology, hopefully can lead to low cost manufacturing solutions and the possibility of integrating complex functionality at a low price.

Hard Disk Sata With Fast Speed Data Storage

How Are SATA Drives SuperiorSATA

Hard drives are fast, robust data storage devices. Unlike other obsolete technologies, SATA drives also provide other features that home users can benefit from.


The Acronym SATA stands for "Serial Advanced Technology Attachment," and is essentially a transportation system for data to and from a computer hard drive. Older types of hard drives use transport systems (also known as a "bus") that go by names such as Parallel ATA (PATA) and SCSI.

While SCSI is still being used in modern computer systems PATA has all but moved into obsolescence due to the super speed and capabilities of the SATA bus. This article will review the benefits of SATA hard drives over other types and also discusses how SATA cables differ from PATA and SCSI.

Hard Drive Speed Versus SATA Bus Speed

There are several things that go into determining the overall speed of an SATA hard drive. One of these is the speed of the SATA bus, which is currently limited by specification to 300MB/sec. This is more than enough bandwidth for almost any existing application, and far more than the now obsolete PATA specification.



As hard drive technologies continue to advance and as computers begin to provide more and more rich media content such as high definition video and complex video games this limit is already becoming a road block.

The second variable that figures in to the overall speed and performance of an SATA hard drive is the speed of the storage drive itself and how fast it can potentially push the data down the bus to the computer's processor and memory.

Advanced flash memory based hard drives will potentially be maxing out this 300MB cap in the near future, so a new version of SATA is now in the pipeline. The new version of the SATA standard (known as SATA 6) will be able to push data at twice the speed of the old version of SATA, and reports are that it should arrive in consumer products beginning in 2009.

What Are The Benefits of SATA Over Other Technologies?

Although speed is the primary benefit of using an SATA hard drive, other aspects of the SATA standard also bode very well for improved types of solid state SATA drives. Faster, larger capacity flash thumb drives can connect via the external SATA (eSATA) port that is now being built into many new computer systems.

In addition to the flexibility of eSATA drives another positive aspect of the SATA specification is the ease of use of the SATA cable and connectors. Old style PATA and SCSI cables are flat ribbon cables that are difficult to handle, block air flow inside the computer case, and have the connectors easily damaged or the pins bent if not carefully inserted.

SATA hard drives are now the current standard for almost all consumer brand computers. They are more than adequate for most home users and the backward compatibility built into the SATA specification means that any future upgrades to the specification will continue to work with existing SATA hard drives.
