Autimatic Parking, Fastly And Secure With Ultrasound Sensor

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 07:56 AM PST


Autimatic Parking, Fastly And Secure With Ultrasound SensorOne of the problems frustrating enough drivers are parking in the cramped space. More difficult again, the available parking space was in a position perpendicular to the car. Add another hassle, parking is expected to help deliver on cue, shouts, and the code does not exist! Can stress!

In fact, since 2008, car manufacturers have started to equip their products with a technology called parking assist or parking assistant. But now, the vehicle enhanced by using ultrasound sensors to monitor objects that are not visible or blind spots. Reported by Bosch of Germany.

Preventing bump
With ultrasound sensor, parking assistant working ability even worse. Sensors that provide comfort to the driver and the parking process go faster.

"Its function is more fun because it helps the driver parked the car with ease in parking spaces is very limited, especially with the right angle. In addition, there are also additional warning system to prevent side collisions. This parking assistant helps not only parking, but also out of the parking lot, "says Dr. Rainer Kallenbach, executive vice-president of Sales of the Bosch Automotive Electronics Division.

He added, Bosch focus creates "sensory organs" so that the driver is not stressed again when parking. In addition, this tool also helps smooth the traffic, especially the parking places. "With parking assistant, the process of parking and out of the parking lot so more quickly. This also prevents the possibility of blisters due to car body nudging objects or other cars, "said Kallenbach.

"Power steering" electricity
Currently, parking assistant semi-automatic only used in cars with electric power steering. The system only works with helping turn the steering wheel. The drivers still have to control and operate the gas pedal and brake.

Later, the system will be developed along Park Steering Information. In this way, the driver can get the maximum movement can be done when parking. In fact, the system will be used on cars that still use hydraulic power steering.

More sophisticated, parking assistant helps the driver out of the parking space. The technology is moving the steering wheel, while the driver stepped on the gas just to get out of the parking lot. The system will cancel the work if the driver holds the steering wheel and the brake pedal.

Ultrasound sensor is actually used in a parallel parking assistant. However, engineers are not satisfied with the features or the ability to work the parking assistant. They want, parking assistants can be applied to help drivers park in narrow spaces and difficult position.

"To park in a small space to turn broken, must use an ultrasound sensor with a range longer work. Should be able to measure the sensor depth of field with a longer range and precision, "Kallenbach beber.

Fully automatic
He also explained, with the use of ultrasound sensors, technology and workplace parking assistant has undergone a significant progress compared to previous versions. The problem, now a step toward technology that is also highly awaited car makers, the parking assistant that is fully automated. In this system, not just the steering wheel is driven by the assistant park, but also the gas and brake pedals. Meanwhile, the driver just watching the car's motion.

Other applications of ultrasound sensors is Side Distance Warning, which immediately produced by Bosch. This technology is used to the side of the car is not knocking the object or another car was parked.

Parking assistant technology originated from a simple parking pilot developed in 2006. He served to give information to the driver not to hit or bump another car or object in the vicinity. The first cars using this technology is the Citroen C4 Picasso used to measure the length of parking spaces.

Intel Has Canceled The Larrabee Launching

Intel Has Canceled The Larrabee LaunchingIntel plans to cancel the launch of the GPU (graphical processing unit) is developed by Larrabee code. The reason, the product is now ready to supply less sophisticated technology that was developed in the market. Intel spokesperson Nick Knupffer, as reported by Techtree, Monday (7 / 12), states that technology used silicon and Larrabee platform developed Sotware inappropriate for him the target set. Product grais card ATI Radeon HD5000 cited as the cause of Intel's plan apart.

Dual GPU in the PCB (print circuit board) used the ATI Radeon 5970 is capable of computing process until 5 teraflop or loating point five trillion operations per second. While the new Larrabee able to 2 teraflop.

This is what makes Intel decided to discontinue the product can not compete in the marketplace. Nevertheless, Intel plans to release Larrabee as platorm Sotware development for the development of high performance computers and graphics cards.

ATI are the market leader for products that support DirectX11. NVidia will launch Fermi architecture GPU with a major competitor.

Feels Hot In The Zero Degrees Temperatures

Feels Hot In The Zero DegreesFor citizens of Copenhagen, the Danish-host Climate Change Conference in 2009-the temperature is almost 0 degrees is the agenda of the annual routine. Was used. Although cold on, Christmas without the snow was three years they passed. That is the story of several people who met Copenhagen. They are experiencing the impact of climate change.

Since December 7, 2009, conference held on climate change. More than 22,000 participants from around the world have declared his intention to attend. A total of over 100 heads of state, including President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, ready to negotiate. Prediction alotnya discussion, especially on the last day, have pushed U.S. President Barack Obama ultimately came from the December 18 originally scheduled December 9.

Developing countries will urge developed countries (Annex I) announced the amount of decrease in greenhouse gas emissions (Grk). Appropriate scientific data, which is 25-40 per cent in 2020 from the year 1990 emission levels, so that global temperatures do not rise 2 degrees.

While in Bali, the UN Climate Change Conference in 2007, developed countries have committed themselves, in their development reluctant. They are asking developing countries advanced economies are also large emissions, such as China and India, is also committed. Indonesia also is mentioned as peatland conversion activities and natural forests.

Last week issued a Danish Danish proposal, which contains the proposal of developing countries contribute to reducing emissions and lead to "murder" of the Kyoto Protocol, which just ended its first period of 2012.

Groups of developing countries G-77 (including Indonesia) plus China refused. "Trace the history of the industrial emissions of developed countries. They are obliged to reduce, "said Chairman of the Working Group Post-Kyoto 2012 Tri Tharyat Indonesian Delegation. Indonesia will urge commitment as the Bali Action Plan, the results in Bali.

While developed countries as the owner of the source of funds and technology continue to maneuver, community organization called, "Do not just talk of money, (content negotiation) and amendments. However, talk about our lives, people in other places, children, and grandchildren, "said Kim Carstensen of the WWF Global Climate Initiative.

Expert group UNFCCC climate change (IPCC) predicts that the impact of climate change katastrofik. Ranging from drought in Africa, small states in the middle of the ocean that will drown, until the crop failures in Asia, Europe, and America. Tens to hundreds of millions of souls on the brink of the water drought, floods, heat waves, and food shortages. UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer called, COP-15 to a "turning point" toward the construction of which guarantees a future together. In the midst of almost zero-degree temperatures, 192 delegates will debate a hot country.

A Buddhist Temple Has Sunk In Water

A Buddhist Temple Has Sunk In WaterA Buddhist temple is surrounded by water is the last remaining of a vanished village swallowed by the sea in Thailand, which re-tragic scene repeated across Asia and the world. A total of 60 families were forced out of the old fishing village is very beautiful, Khun Samutchine, at sea - which become a mainstay of local life - extended to the mainland for more than 20 meters per year.

"I live in the land of others, I could not leave the village because I was so poor," said Noo Wisuksin (71), pointing kei water that used to be the location of his home a few decades ago.

He is one of the 25 million people, who threatened the Chao Phraya river delta, the river area in Thailand. Delta is sinking because cleaned streams and mangrove forests, as climate change raises sea levels.

In the past 30 years, waters in Khun Samutchine sea had swallowed more than one kilometer of land and Noo has moved back home to eight times in order to avoid the rising waves.

Located nearby Khun Samut temple, which was almost abandoned, drowned in the sea and can only be entered through a road made of concrete. One utility pole lines to surface water, lay there-there.

Making upstream dams along the river that flows into the Gulf of Thailand have been prevented sediment, thus disturbing the balance of power from sea water erosion, thus reported by French news agency, AFP.

"Cleaning the mangrove forests that grow slowly for the manufacture of shrimp and salt land has accelerated the damage," he said.

Farther to the beach, the village of Kok Karm with difficulty managed to change the current flow by using traditional materials are cheap.

Vorapol Dounglomchan citizens appear with the use of design stems to create a barrier that traps sediment from sea water and stop the waves swept away the silt.

"The benefits of bamboo is a natural material we put into nature," said Narin Boonruam, provincial secretary of the association of fishermen.

But bamboo is not a lot profitable if sea levels rise even further. One study recently published in the scientific journal Nature that the delta set in the high risk category.

"If we do not put any protection against coastal erosion, more than half of the province will depart Bangkok," said Panada Tedsiri, organizers Thai Community Foundation, a non-governmental organizations.

As world leaders prepare for climate change meeting, the activists said politicians need to deal with how to cope with erosion also because it affects people around the world.

"It is a creeping disaster. Every day, erosion has an invisible impact on many people," said Tara Buakamsri, the action manager for Greenpeace Southeast Asia. "That is double, not only erosion, but also climate change," he said.

In Malaysia, officials said nearly 30 percent suffer from shoreline erosion through population growth, urbanization, oil and gas production, and development of tourism.

In India, with 1,500 kilometers, or 26 percent of the main coastline facing serious erosion and actively reduced, it was said the Asian Development Bank.

Tourist state of Goa has established a friendly barrier along the two hambaran white beaches, but the beginning of 2009 the local board hearing, more than 10 percent of the coastline falls into the sea.

Bangladesh, who are in the lowlands, would be one of the countries hit hardest by climate change.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change United Nations (IPCC) states, rising sea levels will devour 17 percent of all land in Bangladesh later than 2050, so that at least 20 million of the 144 million residents homeless.

"In Vietnam, rising sea levels three feet up to 2100 will affect 10 percent of the population, more than nine million people, and nearly 38 percent of land in the Mekong River Delt, a producer of rice," the data in the UN discussion document released in early December.

The Australian Government warned in November rising sea levels submerge at least 250,000 homes in 2100, and airports, hospitals and power stations are also threatened.

Greenpeace said that working with communities to find a local action plan - such as bamboo trees in Thailand - to tackle erosion.

However, Greenpeace added Copenhagen summit should also consider the issue.

"Copenhagen summit must come up with a fair deal and very strong in dealing with this issue and includes a variety of conditions such as erosion," said Greenpeace campaigner.
