BMW to Introduce Scooters to U.S.

BMW plans to bring their first scooters to the United States. At the International Motorcycle Shows event in Long Beach, the company says it plans to introduce next year to their U.S. lineup the C 600

     Sport and C 650 GT.

     For LA Times, BMW Motorrad USA vice president Pieter de Waal said these scooters are a “step in  the dark” for the company that has produced motorcycles since 1923. He said BMW expects 70 percent of its scooter sales to come from Italy, France, and Spain, where BMW has garnered “overwhelming support” from the market to produce the two-wheelers.

Pricing hasn’t yet been announced either, but De Waal estimates that the scooters will cost about $10,000 when they enter the U.S. market next fall, most likely as a 2013 model.

The two scooters share the same 647 cubic-centimeter two-cylinder engine. The 2-cylinder inline engine of the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT is an all new development by BMW Motorrad with a displacement of 647 cc. In both models, its rated power output is 44 kW (60 hp) at 7500 rpm, and its max torque of 66 Nm is available at 6000 rpm. The power is transferred via a directly integrated CVT, or continuously variable transmission.

 They’re capable of reaching a top speed of 100 mph. By comparison, the most powerful Vespa you can buy has an engine less than half as large and makes just 22 horsepower.

The differing characteristics of the concepts behind these two maxi scooters appeal to a wide target group: the C 600 Sport for the riders with sports ambitions, and the C 650 GT for customers attaching greater importance to comfort and touring ability.

The BMW C 600 Sport has a taller seat, flatter handlebars, and sportier styling. The C 650 GT will differ by having a larger saddle, higher handlebars, and adjustable backrests.

How they’ll do in the U.S. is “a step in the dark,” said Pieter de Waal, vice president of BMW Motorrad USA. Scooters aren’t nearly as commonplace in the U.S. as they are in Europe, and their sales are correlated with gas prices.

LG Debuting 55-inch Ultra-Thin OLED TV at CES, May Sell Later This Year

 LG Debuting 55-inch Ultra-Thin OLED TV at CES, May Sell Later This Year

 Jumbo-screen TV lovers, hide your checkbooks — it sounds like LG will be the first electronics manufacturer to sell a monster-sized 3D organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV later this year. Hey, what better way to celebrate 2012 (you know, the year the world ends!) than by earmarking a bunch of money to fill your living room with 55 inches of “emissive electroluminescent” resplendence?

Look for the OLED TV to make a splash at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas next week, says LG spokesperson Ken Hong (via Bloomberg). Contrary to some reports, it won’t be the world’s largest TV — that distinction still goes to Panasonic’s 152-inch 3D Plasma TV, which’ll set you back $500,000 — but it’ll certainly be the biggest OLED screen in the offing.


A quick refresher: OLED tech uses organic carbon-based compounds that display red, green or blue light in response to electric current. Unlike an LCD screen, OLED screens don’t require crystals that “twist” and “untwist.” They tend to produce sharper, cleaner images, have ultrafast refresh rates and since they don’t need a backlight (to illuminate the crystals in LCDs) they use considerably less power and can fit in thinner frames.

Speaking of thin, LG says its 55-inch OLED display is a trifling four millimeters thick and weighs just 16.5 pounds. Read that again: four millimeters. Note to James Bond and Jason Bourne: Don’t bother clobbering bad guys with one of these, because you might as well use tissue paper.

And just in case: Don’t confuse OLED with LED screens — LED TVs are just a different kind of LCD TV. They’re still using LCD tech for the picture, but with LED backlighting instead of “cold cathode” (CCFL) illumination. They’re a midpoint between LCDs and OLEDs, using less power (LED backlighting) and allowing for thinner display bezels without charging OLED prices.

In other words, don’t expect LG’s 55-inch OLED TV to be cheap. NPD DisplaySearch estimates it’ll cost a whopping $8,000 when it goes on sale, probably sometime in the third quarter of 2012

Go Daddy looses 21,000 domains in 1 day

It appears that companies supporting SOPA are starting to understand that support for the act could cost you alot of customers.
Simply put the act would criminalize any use of any copyrighted information without explicit permission from it’s owner.  Meaning say you decided to post a video that has music in it, if you didn’t pay a fee to the owner you could be prosecuted for threat of the property.  This bill is BAD NEWS and should die.  Several other Bills are circulating that are better and would handle issues better.

Social media platform Reddit is at the forefront of objections with this Act.  It’s users have called for folks to close their GODADDY accounts.

Google and Mozilla renew default search deal for Firefox

Recent speculation had it that Google was attempting to KILL off the competition by funding reports that showed Google’s Chrome browser at the top of the Browser War’s.

This coming just after the recent expiration of the Search Engine Deal that brings in capitol to fund the Mozilla project.

Word out of the BBC this morning is that Google has renewed that deal and will remain the default search engine in the Firefox browser for the next 3 years.

Mozilla relies very heavily on the income from the search partnerships.

With Firefox now, the latest of Mozilla’s incarnation.  Mozilla hopes to be closing the Gap between them Chrome and IE once more.

China launches tests 500 km/h super high-speed train

China launches tests 500 km/h super high-speed train

Beijing:  China has launched its first test train that is said to be capable of reaching 500 km per hour from the present 300 km per hour a feat if accomplished would be a big leap forward in high speed train technology.

China's largest rail vehicle maker, CSR Corp Ltd, over the weekend launched the train.

The six-car train with a fair shaped head is the newest in the CRH series.

It has a maximum tractive power of 22,800 kilowatts, compared with 9,600 kilowatts for the CRH380 trains currently in service on the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway, which holds the world speed record of 300 km per hour.

The grey-coloured train carries testing and data processing facilities, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Ding Sansan, the company's chief technician, said the concept of the the super-speed train design was inspired by China's ancient sword.

The bodywork uses plastic materials reinforced with carbon fiber.

Shen Zhiyun, a locomotive expert and academician said the testing of the super-speed train with speeds of up to 500 km per hour will provide useful reference for current high-speed railway operations.

Richard Baraniuk and Kevin Kelly believe compressive sensing could help devices such as cameras and medical scanners capture images more efficiently.

This article is one in a series of 10 stories we're running this week covering today's most significant emerging technologies. It's part of our annual "10 Emerging Technologies" report, which appears in the March/April print issue of Technology Review.

Richard Baraniuk and Kevin Kelly have a new vision for digital imaging: they believe an overhaul of both hardware and software could make cameras smaller and faster and let them take incredi­bly high-resolution pictures.

Bouncing Data Would Speed Up Data Centers

Bouncing Data Would Speed Up Data Centers

A plan to bounce signals off the ceilings inside data centers could solve a major performance bottleneck.

Inside the huge data centers operated by Internet companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook, information is processed at blistering speed, but it still has to be moved between different machines through relatively slow wiring.

In theory, this bottleneck could be avoided by adding wired links between racks, but that would be very expensive and, short of a complete architectural redesign, not particularly practical. Transmitting data wirelessly would be simpler, but achieving the required speed would normally require a line-of-sight connection, which is impossible in a packed data center.

Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Intel's labs in Oregon have come up with a clever solution: bouncing wireless signals off the ceiling, which they say could boost data transmission speeds by 30 percent.

Congestion caused by short bursts of activity inside data centers is a growing problem, says Heather Zheng, an associate professor of computer science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who led the work.

Zheng and colleagues used 60-gigahertz Wi-Fi, which has a bandwidth in the gigabits-per-second range and was developed for high-definition wireless communications (the first commercial products that use the standard will hit the market next year). However, it has its limitations, says Zheng. To maximize the bandwidth and reduce interference between signals, it needs to be focused into narrow beams that require a direct line of sight between endpoints. "Any obstacle larger than 2.5 millimeters can block the signal," she says.

One way to prevent the antennas from blocking each other would be to allow them to communicate only with their immediate neighbors, creating a type of mesh network. But that would further complicate efforts to route the data to the appropriate destinations, says Zheng. Bouncing the beams off the ceiling directly to their targets not only ensures direct point-to-point communication between antennas but also reduces the chances that any two beams will cross and cause interference. "That's very important when you have a high density of signals," she says.

Flat metal plates placed on the ceiling can provide nearly perfect reflection. "You also need an absorber material on the rack to make sure the signal doesn't bounce back up," says Zheng.

Working with colleagues at UCSB along with Lei Yang from Intel Labs in Oregon and Weile Zhang at Jiao Tong University in Xi'an, China, Zheng created a simulation of a 160-rack data center to see how the system might affect performance. "Our simulation shows that wireless can add 0.5 terabytes per second," she says.

IBM is also looking into using  wireless technology in data centers, says Scott Reynolds, a researcher at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, who has been developing 60-gigahertz systems. "These data centers are just choked with cables," he says. "And so every time you want to reconfigure one it's very labor intensive and expensive." But one problem with turning to wireless transmission, he adds, is that "you need to have hundreds of these wireless data links operating in a data center to be useful." Since 60-gigahertz Wi-Fi has only four data channels, it's important to configure the beams so they don't interfere with each other.

Zheng and her colleagues are now working on building a prototype data center to put their solution into practice.

Eye Ball

Eye Ball

A globe studded with cameras captures a panorama if you throw it in the air

If you toss this foam-covered ball skyward, an accelerometer inside determines when it has reached its maximum height. At that moment, 36 cameras are triggered simultaneously, creating a mosaic that can be downloaded and viewed on a computer as one spherical panoramic image. The ball was created by researchers at the Technische Universität Berlin after one of them, Jonas Pfeil, labored to create panoramas while on vacation in Tonga. On that trip, he tried a cumbersome process that required snapping pictures in different directions and stitching them together later in a photo-editing program. Now he hopes to license the camera-ball technology for commercial production.

A. Outer Shell

The sphere, about the size of a softball, is protected by blocks of foam. Thirty-six cell-phone camera modules, each with a resolution of two megapixels, are set into the surface. Each module stores its portion of the mosaic until it is transferred to the ball's microcontroller.

B. Inner Shell

The prototype's inner shell, made from a strong yet somewhat flexible nylon material, gives the ball structural strength. The shell was made using a 3-D printing service.

C. Power Source

The ball's power source, a relatively heavy lithium-polymer battery, is secured in an inner cage to keep its center of gravity close to its geometric center so that it behaves predictably when thrown.

D. Microcontroller

A microcontroller uses data from an accelerometer to determine when to trigger the cameras. Then it stores the resulting mosaic of images. The prototype can store one mosaic, but it has a hardware slot for a memory card that could store additional panoramas.

E. Panorama

Images are uploaded to a personal computer via a USB connection. Software on the computer allows panoramas to be rotated or enlarged, and portions can be exported as 2-D images. 

Better Cooking through Technology

The former CTO of Microsoft has created a gigantic guide to kitchen science that could transform the way we eat.



To see Modernist Cuisine is to covet it. Which is why, one morning in May, the team that spent six years creating the oversized, over-everything five-volume work came from Bellevue, Washington, to New York City to introduce the wondrous object. And it is why a group of chefs, writers, and TV personalities (so stellar that one guest remarked, "The only other event that could bring these people together is a funeral") gathered at Jean-Georges, the flagship restaurant of Jean-Georges ­Vongerichten, at the invitation of Tim and Nina Zagat. They were there to meet Nathan Myhrvold, the mastermind and financier of a book so expensive to create that he refuses to say how much he spent (other than to say it was more than $1 million but less than $10 million). They wanted to try the pastrami cooked sous-vide for 72 hours, the "tater tots" dunked in liquid nitrogen before being fried, the fruit juices spun in a centrifuge, the mushroom omelet striped with powdered-­mushroom batter so that it looked like a piece of upholstery, with a perfectly spherical, magically just-cooked egg yolk right in the middle. But they really wanted to see the book.

And it is a wondrous object. Modernist Cuisine's five volumes comprise 1,522 recipes and 1,150,000 words of text on 2,438 pages, almost every one of them illustrated with color photography and charts, with dozens of gee-whiz, never-before-seen photographs of beautiful free-form color swirls that could be textile designs but turn out to be life-threatening pathogens; or sculptural objects that could be outdoor art installations but are mussels suspended in clear gelatin; or stunning anatomies of a painstakingly shelled lobster or flayed monkfish or whole chicken; or spectacular cross-section cutaways of pieces of equipment you never thought would or should be sawed in half, like ovens, woks full of hot oil, and kettle grills with white-hot smoldering coals. It weighs 40 pounds, four of them just ink. When Wayt Gibbs, the book's editor in chief, met me later that week in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at Toscanini's, an ice-cream parlor and intellectual salon heavy with MIT students and faculty, he painstakingly unwrapped the gigantic carton he had lugged on a portable dolly from Bellevue to New York and then to Boston. The café-goers grew silent and stared at the huge white volumes in their clear Lucite case, one of them later wrote me, as if they were the monolith in 2001.

 Energy sources

Main article: Alternative fuel vehicle

One major problem in developing cleaner, energy efficient automobiles is the source of power to drive the engine. A variety of alternative fuel vehicles have been proposed or sold, including electric cars, hydrogen cars, compressed-air cars and liquid nitrogen cars.

In one experiment done to improve the future of cars, an old kind of battery was installed which can not be removed, and recharged in two different ways. First, by a generator integrated with the IC and second by removing the cassettes so that they can be recharged off-board in the home ( Charters, Watkinson, Wykes, & Simpkin, 2008).

 Energy saver

Conventional automobiles operate at about 15% efficiency. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and drive-train inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous.

Various technologies have been developed and utilized to increase the energy efficiency of conventional cars or supplement them, resulting in energy savings.

    Regenerative braking technology saves and stores energy for future use or as back up power. When conventional brakes are used, 100% of the kinetic energy lost is converted to thermal energy, and dissipated in the form of heat. Regenerative braking recovers some of this energy to recharge the batteries in a hybrid vehicle.
    BMW's Turbosteamer concept uses energy from the exhaust gases of the traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to power a steam engine which also contributes power to the automobile (Hanlon, 2005). This can increase energy efficiency by up to 15%.
    Compressed air Hybrid is an engine made by researchers at Brunel University in Britain, which forces highly compressed air into the engine, which they claim reduces fuel consumption by 30%.
    Utilization of waste heat from D.W. as useful mechanical energy through exhaust powered steam, stirling engines, thermal diodes, etc.
    Using computational fluid dynamics in the design stage can produce vehicles which take significantly less energy to push through the air, a major consideration at highway speeds. The Volkswagen 1-litre car and Aptera 2 Series are examples of ultra-low-drag vehicles.

 Materials

    Duraluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and carbon nanotubes may totally replace all steel in cars (potentially improving lightness and strength). Aluminum, carbon fiber and fiberglass are currently being used more in cars today.
    Plastic and foam for the car's shell; foam can provide additional safety for pedestrians, ... and can also make the car buoyant.

Life on other planets: latest discovery comes after string of recent signs of extraterrestrials

Nasa research indicating that half of the stars in the universe are orbited by planets much like Earth has reignited speculation about the existence of alien life.

Numerous scientists and politicians have stated their belief in the existence of aliens and UFOs



Experts examining results from the Kepler telescope have identified more than 1,200 planets in orbit around distant stars, 54 of which are a similar size to Earth and in habitable zones from their suns.

The research follows several recent discoveries which point to the possibility of life on other planets.

Last year, Nasa scientists claimed they had found vital clues which appeared to indicate that primitive aliens could be living on Titan, one of Saturn’s biggest moons.

Data from Nasa's Cassini probe revealed the complex chemistry on the surface of Titan, which experts say is the only moon around the planet to have a dense atmosphere.

Experts suggested that life forms may have been breathing in the planet’s atmosphere and also feeding on its surface’s fuel.
