New cars required to have emergency system from ... - The Associated Press

‘s called eCall system and is a device that automatically sends an alert to the emergency services in the event of a road accident, with the information of the location of the vehicle coordinates. It can also be activated manually. It’s an idea of ??the European Commission with almost a decade, which on Wednesday took another step. The European Parliament (EP) adopted a proposal that supports the system becomes mandatory in all new models of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from October 2015.

The aim of this technology would work through 112, is immediately alert the emergency services, enabling faster service and reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries on European roads.

EP argues that eCall should be a public, free service that can be enjoyed by any driver at any point in Europe. “The eCall based on 112 is a public service of general interest and therefore should be freely available to all consumers,” says the text adopted by 485 votes in favor, 151 against and 32 abstentions, according to a statement from Parliament European.

MEPs are concerned about protecting the privacy of drivers and determined that manufacturers must ensure that vehicles equipped with eCall “are not traceable and are not subject to a constant location” . The “minimum data set” sent by the system includes only the mode of activation, the class of vehicle, type of fuel used, the indication of time, precise location, direction of travel and the number of seat belts fastened.

Parliament agrees that the system becomes mandatory until October 2015, however, recognizes that the industry will need sufficient time to develop and test this system time, assuming therefore that this goal be revised at a later stage.

In 2012, according to the release of the EP, 28,000 people died and 1.5 million were injured. Estimates suggest that the eCall will speed up the response time of emergency services at 40% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas and save up to 2,500 lives a year. The text of this regulation remain to be negotiated with the Council of Ministers of the European Union, it is likely that legislation is only finalized in the next Parliament after the May elections has.

In Portugal, was published this week in the Gazette the creation of a working group, coordinated by the Institute for Mobility and Transport, which shall submit within 90 days a draft ordinance that “define the entities involved and their responsibilities and competencies for the pursuit and implementation of interoperable service called automated emergency “.

    sewing thread and fishing were used in the development of artificial muscles that can support weights up to 100 times faster than human muscles of the same length and weight, says a team of scientists.

    “Simplicity is the beauty of this technology,” said Ray Baughman , an expert in chemistry from the University of Texas at Dallas and leader of the study, described in the February 20 issue of the journal Science . According to Baughman own, even high school students can build the artifacts from the comfort of their homes.

    Making one of these artificial muscles is a matter of hope – usually using a drill (drill) – fishing lines and sewing, composed of polymers very resistant. The result is a twist fibrous muscle capable of moving a heavy at a speed of over 10 thousand revolutions per minute rotor.

    In situations of extreme twist, the fiber is wound, as can easily be checked with a snap ring. Furl fiber in the same direction of twist creates muscles that contract when exposed to heat and expand when cooled. However, if the winding and twisting directions are different, the heat causes the expansion of the muscle.

    applications of the technique can cater automatic devices for opening and closing windows for controlling the temperature of a room garments and allowing better evaporation of sweat on the skin surface (by extending the fiber) to maintain the temperature body. The researchers report that, beyond these practical uses, the technology may ultimately enhance limb movement of robots, androids and mechanical exoskeletons, where the heat, which causes the effects of contraction and relaxation of the fiber, can be replaced by electrical stimulation

    “The humanoid robots, exoskeletons or current prosthetic limbs are mechanically primitive,” says Baughman, since they depend on the energy provided by hydraulic motors or by causing these mechanical parts are less skilled than a human hand, by instance.

    Other scientists had created artificial muscles from metal alloys that “memorize” their original format, returning to normal whenever there is a reversal of the stimulus that excites the contraction or expansion of the league. However, these materials are usually composed of nickel and titanium, can cost $ 5K per kilogram. There are also muscles made of hollow carbon fibers, called single nanotubes (single-walled nanotubes – SWNTs) wall., But again, their costs are too high

    Incidentally, it was working with SWNTs that led Baughman and his students to think about the possibility of a material with a common characteristic in relation to carbon nanotubes: the majority of these fibers aligned following the extension of the line, ensuring that , run an electrical stimulus that alters the length of the fibers, those that are around you will follow the same trend, causing expansion or contraction of the line. The researchers found that plastic polymers, such as those made of nylon, also possess this particular alignment.

    The results surprised. The application of heat wires contracted polymers little more than 50% (in contrast to natural muscles contract about 20%) and the heat source is extinguished, the wires return to the original length. The materials – whose prices are estimated at just over $ 5.00 – required for the formation of artificial muscles can be obtained on the shelves of stores common

    .

    Although fibrous artificial muscles still can not convert electrical energy into mechanical very efficiently Baughman points out that there is no other application performance as good as the muscles of the polymer coils.

    Google prepares to launch revolutionary smartphone - iOnline

    sensors will be included on cellphone over 250,000 measurements per second in real time and update its position

    Google will launch a smartphone that will allow the user to create maps in three dimensions. For now, there is only still in prototype.

    sensors included in the mobile phone will make more than 250,000 measurements per second in real time and update its position.

    The device will also have some useful applications. For example, if lost, the three-dimensional maps quickly aright and indicated the correct path.

    This phone is still thought to blind people that will have their aid in unknown locations.
