De bevolking van deze 10 landen krimpt het snelst

De bevolking van deze 10 landen krimpt het snelst
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Acterna Battery
De wereldbevolking groeit sneller dan verwacht. Tegen 2030 zijn we met 8,5 miljard, tegen 2050 zelfs met 9,7 miljard, meldden de Verenigde Naties. De groei zal zich voornamelijk voordoen in ontwikkelingslanden in Afrika.
Volgens een VN- rapport, dat eerdere voorspellingen aanpaste op basis van huidige trends, zullen er in 11,2 miljard mensen zijn in 2100.
De helft van de groei zal plaatsvinden in negen landen: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, de Democratische Republiek Congo, Ethiopië, Tanzania, de Verenigde Staten, Indonesië en Oeganda. Tegen 2022 zal de bevolking van India die van China overstijgen. China is op dit moment het dichtstbevolkte land ter wereld met bijna 1,4 miljard inwoners.
Maar er zijn ook een heleboel landen die hun bevolking drastisch zien dalen door with battery such as Acterna FTB-100 Battery, Acterna FTB-400 Battery, Acterna MTS-5000 Battery, Acterna MTS-5000E Battery, Acterna MTS-5100 Battery, Anritsu Lite3000(E) Battery, EXFO FTB-100 Battery, EXFO FTB-400 Battery, EXFO FTB-150 Battery, EXFO FTB-200 Battery, EXFO XW-EX002 Battery, EXFO Batteryemigratie of een negatieve geboorte-overlijdensbalans.
In deze 10 landen krimpt de bevolking, volgens cijfers van het Wereld Economisch Forum (WEF) het snelst. De gegevens dateren van 2013-2014.
Which countries are shrinking the fastest?
-- World Economic Forum (@wef) 28 juli 2015
1. Puerto Rico: - 1,3 %
Het Caribische eiland en autonoom gebied binnen de Verenigde Staten, telt 3,6 miljoen inwoners. Zo'n 45 procent van hen leeft in armoede. Op dit moment heeft het land een torenhoge schuldenberg. Doordat het eiland geen onafhankelijke staat is, kan het niet aankloppen bij kredietverstrekkers als het IMF.
Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis, is het eiland in wanbetaling gegaan en kan het zijn schulden niet terugbetalen. De volgende stap wordt waarschijnlijk een strikt herstructureringsplan met veel besparingen. Door deze aanhoudende economische malaise trekken heel wat inwoners weg op zoek naar een beter leven.
2. Letland: -1,1 %
Sinds 1990 is de bevolking van Letland (2 miljoen) bijna met een kwart gereduceerd. Duizenden Russen, die zich ten tijde van de Sovjet Unie hadden gevestigd in het Baltische land, keerden namelijk terug naar Rusland.
In 2004 sloot Letland zich aan bij de Europese Unie, waardoor de bevolking opnieuw een fikse duik nam. En de Letten die wel nog in hun vaderland wonen, krijgen steeds minder kinderen. Met 1,2 ligt de geboortegraad het laagste in heel Europa.
Voorts kent het land een onevenwichtige verdeling tussen mannen en vrouwen. 85 mannen per 100 vrouwen.

Conviction rate up, calls, arrests down

Conviction rate up, calls, arrests down
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Fluke Battery
Should a victim or witness be successfully subpoenaed, the case is still far from certain. State’s Attorney John Pepmeyer was unable to recall a single calendar month since he started as a prosecutor in 1973 where every subpoenaed victim made their court ordered appearances.
Should they choose to, prosecutors could file a petition to find uncooperative victims in contempt of court.
“You don’t want to call them and threaten them,” Pepmeyer said. “I have a moral issue with making them a victim twice. I also know there are countless ones that come up and file requests to dismiss battery with like Fluke BP123 Battery, Fluke BP123S Battery, Fluke BP124 Battery, Fluke BP124S Battery, Fluke BP124X Battery, Fluke Ti27 Battery, Fluke 199 Battery, Goldway G50 Battery, Goldway G60 Battery, Goldway ME202C Battery, JDSU MTS-8000 Battery, JDSU MTS-4000 Battery. Those requests to dismiss are available to defense counsel. So once they do that, even if you sanction them for not coming or force them to come, now they’ve created an inconsistent statement where most of the time it’s enough to create reasonable doubt.”
Say a witness shows up to court. They agree to testify during a domestic violence bench trial. The witness is called to the stand and at every turn refuses to assist the prosecution. Even though the witness made the original 911 call.
The State’s Attorney’s office claims its hands are tied, but, like the GPD, are eager for suggestions of a better way.
On the police end, where the system first encounters any given domestic case, Christensen admitted the current process may be due for an update. The checklist police use when making domestic arrests is known as the domestic violence addendum.
It adheres in many ways to the Duluth Model, a program developed in Duluth, Minnesota, that has had success in addressing domestic violence.
For police, the Duluth Model requires officers ask victims five questions, such as, “Do you think he/she will seriously injure or kill you, your children, or someone else close to you?” and “Has he/she ever forced you to do things sexually you didn’t want to?”
While the local addendum addresses items like alcohol use, signs of physical abuse, nervousness, reports of sexual assault and many other categories and subcategories pertaining to both victims and aggressors, it does not include areas for in-depth follow up questions. One Duluth Model item asks the victim to “describe the time you were the most frightened or injured by him/her.”
The addendum may fail to address questions like that, however, it does include items such as the battling parties’ relationship to each other, the behavior of each person involved, alcohol use and the apparent abuse of pets, all of which are commonly recognized indicators of either domestic trouble or potential mental problems.
More than a decade ago, a coalition of judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, sheriffs, defense attorneys, victims’ advocates, victims and offenders in the 9th Judicial Circuit came together to form the addendum, Christensen said.

A Northampton County Circuit Court judge set bond at $10,000 for an Exmore man charged in a riot at the Sage Diner earlier this year.
Antwine Mason, 28, was one of several men charged with the abduction, malicious wounding and assault and battery of a local man who came into the Exmore diner's bar and bought a beer.
The man approached Mason and made a comment about his brother, Tyrell Mason, the victim of a still-unsolved murder earlier this year.
On the witness stand, Mason told the court he suspected the man of shooting his brother with battery such as Zoncare ZQ-1201 Battery, Zoncare ZQ-1201G Battery, Fresenius MCM440 PT Battery, Fresenius MCM440 OT Battery, Fresenius MCM550 ST Battery, Fresenius Optima VS Battery, Fresenius Optima ST Battery, Fresenius Optima MS Battery, Fresenius Optima PT Battery, Agilia Fresenius Kabi Battery, Fresenius RC1800AA05AA Battery, JMS SP-500 Batteryand did not want to talk to him.
But the situation quickly turned violent, said Commonwealth's Attorney Bruce Jones. Mason and others pinned the Boston-area man against a wall and struck him repeatedly. Mason, along with the other suspects, has been in jail with bail denied since that night.
His grandmother testified her grandson was a kind and caring person. She wept as she told the court that Mason's brother was murdered.
Defense attorney Paul Watson said his client had no criminal record other than a 10-year-old drug charge.
"He has absolutely no violent tendencies," said Watson.
He said the victim went to the Sage that night, "knowing he would be confronted by the Exmore men who were there."
"The public perception is that he was the shooter," said Watson. "When he got away, he left the Sage, went to a car to get a gun and started shooting into the crowd.
"He went there to cause trouble," Watson said, adding that his client was provoked.
Jones agreed that Mason was provoked but argued against bail.
"This is an unbelievably volatile situation," he said, adding that the circumstances of the case posed a danger to the community.
After hearing from both sides, Judge W. Revell Lewis III granted bail and set the bond at $10,000.
As a condition of the bail, Mason is required to avoid going to the Boston area, which Lewis described as between Pungoteague and Craddockville.
Dominic Powell, another participant in the incident who is facing the same charges, was also granted bail with bond set at $10,000.

GE Signs Largest Battery Storage Deal to Date

GE Signs Largest Battery Storage Deal to Date
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the GE Battery
September 2, 2015 General Electric (GE) signed its largest energy storage deal to date to provide Coachella Energy Storage Partners with a 30-megawatt battery system as part of a contract with Imperial Irrigation District (IID).
The storage facility will be located about 100 miles east of San Diego. IID is the third-largest public power utility in California and the nation’s largest irrigation district. The utility was looking for 20 megawatts to 40 megawatts of battery storage to address ramp, regulation, capacity, ancillary services, system reliability and power quality, as well as to provide black-start capability for an adjacent gas turbine.
Coachella Energy Storage Partners (CESP) beat out eight other vendors in the final round of solicitation, including S&C, AES Energy Storage, Black & Veatch and Duke Energy Business Services.
“We chose GE as the energy-storage system provider for this project because they supplied the most comprehensive solution at a competitive price,” Mike Abatti, president of CESP, said in a statement. The current cost of the project is about $38 million, according to the The Desert Sun.
From the start, IID was only looking for battery with such as GE Eagle Monitor 1000 Battery, GE Eagle Monitor 1006 Battery, GE Responder 1000 Battery, GE Responder 1100 Battery, GE 15N-800AA Battery, Kenz HHR-38AF25G1 Battery, Kenz Cardico 1211 Battery, Osen ECG-8130A Battery, Edanins ECG-6A Battery, GE DASH 1000 Battery, GE Eagle 1000 Battery, Kenz Cardico 1210 Batterystorage solutions, rather than other energy storage technologies. This project will be one of the largest battery systems to date in California. There is an energy storage boom in California following the state's 1.3-gigawatt energy storage mandate for the three investor-owned utilities.
For the IID, however, the impetus for the solicitation came from the September 2011 blackout that started in Arizona but spread through a large swath of Southern California and left millions in the region without power. In IID’s district, temperatures swelled into the triple digits as many people were left without lights and air conditioning.
GE will bring together a lithium-ion battery with its inverters, plant controls, transformers and medium-voltage switchgear in a single enclosure. CESP chose ZGlobal as the engineer for the project. After 18 months, the control of the project will transfer to IID.
Earlier this year, GE rebooted its lithium-ion battery business and made cuts to the production of its sodium-ion batteries. In April, GE won a contract for an 8-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system for Con Edison Development, the unregulated arm of Con Edison, in Central Valley, Calif.
As with the IID deployment, the Con Edison project involves a suite of GE’s other products for a complete energy-storage system. GE also landed a deal to supply Convergent Energy + Power with a 7-megawatt, 7-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system with controls and inverters for the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator.
“We focus on full system performance rather than individual component pieces, allowing customers to match power production with demand in real time and utilize grid assets more efficiently,” Anne McEntee, president and CEO of GE’s renewable energy business, said in a statement.
GE anticipates construction on the IID project will begin early next year, with commercial operation scheduled for the third quarter of 2016.

Highlights Volkswagen’s green future

Highlights Volkswagen’s green future
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the TSI Battery
The all-new 2017 Tiguan will unquestionably be the star of the Volkswagen booth at tomorrow’s Frankfurt Motor Show, but it won’t be the only new model on display. Notably, Volkswagen will show a thinly-veiled concept dubbed Tiguan GTE that previews an upcoming plug-in hybrid version of firm’s latest crossover.
Updated 09-15-2015 by Ronan Glon: Corrected an error regarding the driving range added by the roof-mounted solar panel.
While it looks like simply a dark blue Tiguan at first glance, the GTE concept is powered by a 214-horsepower gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain that consists of a 1.4-liter TSI engine and a compact electric motor. The two power sources zap the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission designed specifically for hybrid drivetrains.
Electricity is stored in a lithium-ion battery with like Li202SX Battery, Li202SX-6600 Battery, Li202SX-66C Battery, Li202SX-7200 Battery, Li202SX-7800 Battery, Li202SX-78C Battery, TSI 8240 Battery, TSI 9130 Battery, TSI 9550 Battery, TSI 9510BD Battery, TSI AEROTRAK APC 9510-02 Battery, Zoncare BAT-120003 Batterypack that can be topped up either while driving or by stopping at a charging station. An innovative solar panel on the roof allows the crossover to drive on electricity alone for an extra 621 miles annually in ideal weather conditions. Volkswagen stresses that 621 miles is only attainable in sunny places like southern Europe, and it predicts the huge solar panel only gives the Tiguan an extra 310 miles in its home country of Germany.
The concept offers four driving modes called E-Mode, Hybrid, Battery Charge and GTE, respectively. In E-Mode, the Tiguan is powered exclusively by the electric motor at speeds of up to 80 mph, though how long it can drive for hasn’t been announced yet. Hybrid alternates between the TSI engine and the electric motor as required, while Battery Charge does exactly what its name implies. Finally, the driver-focused GTE mode makes the throttle and the steering more responsive, and it tells the DSG gearbox to hold each gear for longer. As a result, the Tiguan can reach 62 mph from a stop in 8.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 124 mph.
Outside, the GTE stands out from the Tiguan thanks to minor details such as specific bumpers on both ends, C-shaped LED daytime running lights up front, and small GTE emblems on both fenders. The story is similar on the inside, where the updates are largely limited to GTE-specific instrument cluster with a power gauge, a new three-spoke steering wheel as well as blue accents on the seats and the shift lever.
Related: Volkswagen introduces 260-hp GTI Clubsport
Volkswagen has not revealed what the future holds for the Tiguan GTE concept. However, it has previously announced its intention to sell more plug-in models all across the globe, so it’s not too far-fetched to imagine the Tiguan GTE will join the Volkswagen lineup as a regular-production model in the not-too-distant future. If built, the GTE will be the first regular-production plug-in hybrid crossover to wear a Volkswagen emblem.

Samsung Q2 Profits Slide Again

Samsung Q2 Profits Slide Again
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Micronix Battery
Samsung was looking for big numbers in Q2 this year, hoping the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge would carry the manufacturer solidly into the second half of 2015, but with its Q2 earnings guidance released, it appears early supply shortages hindered higher profit possibilities.
According to the guidance, overall Q2 expectations have been lowered, but that does not mean Samsung had a rough quarter. Although, industry analysts would usually argue that point. Samsung’s estimates operating profit falling by about 4% from last year to $6.13 billion, with sales reaching about $42.5 billion. This time last year, Samsung posted $6.25 billion in operating profit.
The saying goes, “you’re either growing or you’re dying,” and with Samsung’s numbers with battery like Micronix MB-300 Battery, Micronix MSA338 Battery, Micronix MSA358 Battery, TSI DustTrak II 8532 Battery, TSI DustTrak II 530EP Battery, TSI DustTrak DRX 8530 Battery, TSI DustTrak DRX 8534 Battery, Comen CM1200A Battery, Comen CM1200B Battery, GE Eagle Monitor 1008 Battery, GE Eagle Monitor 1009 Battery, TSI 9350 Batteryfalling year-over-year, even while not at a staggering rate, the industry seems worried. Samsung will continue to have a target on its back from overseas competitors, such as Xiaomi and Huawei, so the company will likely market the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 to great lengths to make up for any lost ground.
Detailed earnings information for Q2 will be released later this month.
This past weekend, @evleaks posted the above press renders to his Twitter account. They are of the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+. Not only do we get a solid look at what to expect from the exterior, but Evan also posted along a few specs for the Galaxy Note 5.
According to the tweet, we may see the Galaxy Note 5 feature a 5.66″ QHD display, Exynos 7420 processor, 4GB of RAM, 16MP back-facing camera, 5MP front-facing camera, and run Android 5.1.1 at launch. One thing missing from the list is a microSD card slot, which aligns with previous reports we have posted.
As we can see from the renders, the Note 5 looks similar to the Galaxy S6, but of course, is larger and features a S-Pen stylus. The S6 Edge+, on the other hand, is really just a larger Galaxy S6 Edge.
We are coming up on August 13, the date Samsung has scheduled to unveil these two new devices in New York City. We will be on-hand in NYC to bring you all of the coverage.

From Nihon Kohden America:
““Our new lightweight, durable monitor redefines transport monitoring,” said Mike Dashefsky, vice president, Nihon Kohden America. “By providing visibility into nine critical parameters and seven waveforms, it makes basic and high acuity transport possible. There are no other transport monitors available that can offer this level of portability coupled with the same level of features found in high acuity monitors.”
Designed to address both basic and high acuity transport, the new monitor from Nihon Kohden America is imperative for transport situations in which maintaining a high standard of monitoring care is a must. The new monitor remotely displays up to nine parameters, making it the industry’s most comprehensive transport monitor. Furthermore, once the transport is complete, all data can be transferred to the patient’s bedside.

The Brave New Museum Sputters Into Life

The Brave New Museum Sputters Into Life
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Fluke Battery
With so many visitors—particularly the young—obsessively attached to digital devices as instruments of learning and sharing, even the most traditional art museum officials can no longer deny the imperative for technological interventions in what used to be a relatively unmediated relationship between viewer and object. First there were audio guides and websites. Now art museums are embracing everything from apps to robots to interactive pens, hoping to discern how best to enhance the gallery experience for savvy digerati, without ruining it for diehard technophobes.
Having recently explored the digital prestidigitations of several pioneering art museums with battery like Fluke TiXB Battery, Fluke Ti9 Battery, Fluke TiRX Battery, Fluke TiS Battery, Fluke 215C Battery, Fluke 19XC Battery, Fluke 2X5C Battery, Fluke 435 Battery, Fluke 225C Battery, Contec ECG-1200 Battery, Edan SE-1200 Battery, Contec ECG-1200 Battery, I have arrived at one firm conclusion: I have seen the future and we’re not there yet.
The technological transformation of the art-museum experience is still an experiment in which visitors play the role of guinea pigs. I uncovered promising tech tricks at the De Young Museum, San Francisco and the Brooklyn Museum, New York, that will enhance both knowledge and pleasure for those receptive to new pathways for art engagement. But in other instances, hyperactive interactivity and exasperating glitches interfere with enjoyment of the objects themselves:
• Dazzled by the acclaimed digital Collection Wall at the Cleveland Museum of Art, children excitedly rush over to tap one image after another, enlarging them but barely looking at them, let alone absorbing the accompanying information. Adults often gaze at, without engaging with, the wall’s enticing but random and every-changing array of interactive images. This superficially entertaining eye candy offers no way for art lovers to search for a particular object, artist or period of personal interest.
• At the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, a boy races through the permanent collection, pressing the slanted end of the custom-designed Interactive Pen (lent to each visitor) on every label he encounters, but never pausing to look at the objects themselves. The Pen is designed to collect object information from the label’s NFC tags (stickers with microchips that can be read by mobile devices), for later retrieval on the museum’s interactive tables or on one’s home computer or mobile device. Since the museum reopened in December, only about one-third of its visitors have accessed their personally assigned URLs on the museum’s website to learn more about the objects they selected—a follow-up rate that “needs improvement,” according to the museum’s self-assessment.
• Also in New York, the Museum of Modern Art’s Audio+, available free on lent iPod Touch devices and promoted as “the next generation of museum audio guides,” conveniently lets you email to yourself and others images and information about the objects you admire. But some important special exhibitions (including MoMA’s acclaimed Jacob Lawrence show) had no audio tour on either Audio+ or the museum’s mobile app. While using the app in the permanent-collection galleries, I found that the audio went silent if I merely listened without tapping the screen. (This annoying glitch has since been corrected.)
Surprised by my disappointing experiences with the digital gizmos that others had praised, I could only conclude that some of the proponents hadn’t spent much time using them and observing how others were using them. Intended to inform and delight, these innovations are often unintuitive, inadequately explained, or exasperatingly dysfunctional.

The willingness to experiment and think beyond

The willingness to experiment and think beyond
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Mindray Battery
As the founder of the modern Chinese economy, Deng Xiaoping once observed that "No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.", meaning that one cannot be philosophically wedded to ways of doing things. Deng also used a quote originally coined by Mao Zedong, noting that one must "seek truth from facts".
These quotes heralded his efforts to create the so-called "socialist market economy" of China as clearly the economic model under Mao had failed to deliver the economic progress the country wanted. Deng's pioneering efforts unleashed the Chinese economy, generating decades of doubledigit growth that has now catapulted China to being the largest economy in the world. This dramatic growth has spurred the rise of giant corporations like Lenovo, Haier, Huawei, Mindray, TCL, BYD, and many others in a span of a couple of decades.
What can Indian businesses learn from the Chinese experience? Taking Deng's comments to heart, Chinese companies have experimented. Consider BYD. It started as a maker of nickel cadmium batteries with batetry such as Mindray D3 Battery, Mindray LI24I001A Battery, Mindray D6 Battery, Mindray LI34I001A Battery, Agilent N2910AM Battery, Agilent N3900 Battery, Agilent N3985A Battery, Philips ME202H Battery, Li202S-60A Battery, Li202S-66C Battery, Li202S Battery, Agilent N3993A Batteryin the mid-90s. Its founder, Wang Chuanfu, saw a market opportunity to make lithium ion batteries.
While the market opportunity existed, the cost of a manufacturing line for lithium ion batteries was well beyond the means of BYD, with a paid up capital of US$250,000, as the cost of a single manufacturing line was more than US$5 million due to the need for a clean room to avoid contaminants getting in to the battery during the manufacturing processcontaminants are the cause of lithium ion batteries exploding.
Undaunted, Wang Chuanfu innovated, creating the clean box, which cost next to nothing compared to a clean room, was modular, and scalable. The innovation essentially converted a fixed cost to a variable cost, making it possible for BYD to take advantage of the market opportunity it had spotted.
Importantly, the innovation also increased productivity because time was not spent suiting up to work in a clean room, bringing cost of manufacture down further. The result is that today BYD is the world's largest producer of batteries and has a commanding 25 per cent market share in mobile phone batteries. The willingness to experiment with new ideas and learn from it is a hallmark of many Chinese companies and something that Indian companies could more broadly adopt.
A second striking aspect of Chinese companies, and one that is distinct from the path taken by Indian companies, is the focus on the "common person" in second and third tier towns, rather than the urban middle class (really the upper classes) that has been the mainstay for Indian companies.

Philips Hue Wireless Dimming Kit Review

Philips Hue Wireless Dimming Kit Review
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Philips Battery
Dimming lights used to be easy with incandescent bulbs, but the new age of LEDs can be a flickering, migraine-inducing mess. Philips believes its Hue Wireless Dimming Kit is the answer, the combination of a simple white bulb with an equally straightforward remote that can be left on a coffee table or easily wall-mounted. Though Philips is pitching the $40 set at novices, there's plenty for the Hue enthusiast to find appealing, however, not least the remote control.
It's not the first remote for the Hue system, mind. Last year, Philips released the Hue Tap, its first standalone switch, though it was no simple button. Rather than a battery with like Philips VS2+ Battery, Philips 863266 Battery, Philips 989803166291 Battery, Welch Allyn 4500-84 Battery, Welch Allyn 450EO Battery, Welch Allyn 450TO Battery, Welch Allyn 45MTO Battery, Welch Allyn 45NTO Battery, Kaden Yasen WP-YHD-3160 Battery, Kaden Yasen ECG-901 Battery, Kaden Yasen HYHB-1270 Battery, Hue Tap used the power generated from physically pressing each of the four preset triggers to power its ZigBee radio.
Clever, yes, but not cheap: at $60, it was far too expensive for most Hue fans to consider installing more than one or two in their home, never mind outfitting every room. Happily, Philips' second remote is a far more straightforward affair.
It measures 92 x 35 x 11 mm and weighs 37g, with four buttons - running from the top, there's power-on, bright, dim, and power-off - and a regular CR2450 battery inside. Philips says that should be good for 50,000 clicks, or at least three years of use, and you can unscrew the battery cover and replace it at that point.
Also in the box is a wall plate, to which the remote itself clings magnetically. You can use the adhesive strips on the back to fix it to the wall, or the two screw holes; unfortunately, those holes aren't in the same place that a regular switch plate has them, so a direct swap isn't as straightforward as it could be. Given the magnets, you can even stick the wall plate directly to a metal surface, like a fridge door.
Installation, then, is simple. The white bulb comes already paired with the remote: simply unscrew a regular bulb and swap it for the Hue version. The lamp will need to be left powered on at its regular switch; from that point on, the remote control is used to handle power and brightness.
As lights go, the Hue white bulb is pretty much par for the course. It's 800 lumens bright, and has a 2,700 K temperature - so it's soft and slightly warm, not cold and harsh like some LED bulbs can be - and Philips rates it for around 25,000 hours of use. There's no fancy color-changing, only dimming, though it does that with zero flicker at any level.

The Wilson X Connected Basketball brings data to your driveway

The Wilson X Connected Basketball brings data to your driveway
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Aspect Battery
You love basketball. You love it so much you play every day. Maybe you play in a city league, are trying to make the school team, or want to be better than all your teammates. That means you have to practice all the time. You have to shoot hundreds of free throws and hundreds more shots from inside and outside the paint. You shoot until you’re tired, and then keep shooting — because nothing will make you better at basketball than muscle memory. But once you commit, how do you know whether or not all that work is actually paying off? You might feel like you shot the ball well during your hour-long practice, but do you know that for sure?
This is the problem that Wilson is trying to solve with the Wilson X Connected Basketball. Yes, I know we’re all reeling from the recent rush of companies trying to push the idea of the Internet of Things, so the idea of a connected basketball might sound goofy. But despite the ball’s flaws, and an unruly price tag of $199, it’s a lot of fun to use. It also signals the start of a evolution of the way we play sports.
The best thing to do with any sport is to start with the basics. The Wilson X ball is, from any angle, just a basketball. There’s no charging port or USB dongle — just a bunch of orange rubber and some air. Inside is a little tube that’s smaller than the size of an AA battery with such as Aspect BIS Vista Battery, Edanins ECG-12A Battery, Edanins HYHB-1188 Battery, Fukuda BTE-001 Battery, Fukuda FX-8222 Battery, Mindray LI13I001A Battery, Mindray IMEC8 Battery, Mindray IMEC10 Battery, Mindray IPM12 Battery, Mindray IEMEC12 Battery, Philips VM1 Battery, Philips VSI Battery, and in that tube is an accelerometer, gyroscope, a bluetooth chip, and a battery that Wilson says will outlast the life of the ball. (Or, as it was put to me, you can shoot the ball more than 300 times a day, for seven days a week, for 52 weeks a year, before it will start to die.)
This tech is married to an extremely smart algorithm that it says can tell whether you’ve made or missed your shot, which Wilson trained by shooting it more than 50,000 times. The algorithm not only can tell when the ball’s been shot, but it knows the difference between when it’s gone through the hoop as opposed to banking off the rim or backboard, or missing everything altogether. The only hangup is the rim has to have a net of some kind — if you play at a park where there are no nets on the rims, the ball’s smart capabilities will be moot.
The ball pairs just like any other Bluetooth device to an app on your iPhone (Android users will have to wait until later this fall) and can track your shots in a number of different modes. There’s an open mode that lets you just shoot for as long as you like, a mode that focuses in on just free throws, and two game modes — one where a clock is counting down and the only way to stop it is to keep hitting more shots, and one where the shots you make contribute to a simulated full basketball game. There’s no real support for more than one player, save for taking turns, and while Wilson says that option might come down the road, it’s more focused on changing the solo practice experience right now.

The Codes of Modern Life

The Codes of Modern Life
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Tektronix Battery
The glass beads were the best option, however. Water, when unimpeded, destroys DNA. If there are too many breaks and errors in the sequences, no error-correction system can help. The beads, however, protected the DNA from the damaging effects of humidity.
With their layers of error-correction and protective coats in place, Grass and his colleagues then exposed the glass beads to three heat treatments—140˚, 149˚, and 158˚ F—for up to a month “to simulate what would happen if you store it for a long time,” he says. Indeed, after unwrapping their DNA from the beads using a fluoride solution and then re-reading the sequences, they found that slight errors had been introduced similar to those which appear with batetry such as Tektronix Y350C Battery, Tektronix Y400 Battery, Rohde Schwarz FSH626 Battery, Rohde Schwarz FSH-Z32 Battery, Rohde Schwarz FSH6 Battery, Rohde Schwarz FSH18 Battery, Rohde Schwarz FSH3 Battery, Biocare ECG-9803G Battery, Biocare HYLB-114A Battery, Aspect 185-0152 Battery, Aspect 186-0208 Battery, Aspect VTI 14564 Batteryover long timescales in nature. But, at such low levels, the Reed-Solomon codes healed the wounds.
Using the rate at which errors arose, the researchers were able to extrapolate how long the data could remain intact at lower temperatures. If kept in the clement European air outside their laboratory in Zurich, for example, they estimate a ballpark figure of around 2,000 years. But place these glass beads in the dark at –0.4˚ F, the conditions of the Svalbard Global Seed Bank on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, and you could save your photos, music, and eBooks for two million. That’s roughly ten times as long as our species has been on Earth.
Using heat treatments to mimic the effects of age isn’t foolproof, Grass admits; a month at 159˚ F certainly isn’t the same as millennia in the freezer. But his conclusions aren’t unsupported. In recent years, palaeogenetic research into long-dead animals has revealed that DNA can persist long after death. And when conditions are just right—cold, dark, and dry—these molecular strands can endure long after the extinction of an entire species. In 2012, for instance, the genome of an extinct human relative that died around 80,000 years ago was reconstructed from a finger bone. A year later, that record was shattered when scientists sequenced the genome of an extinct horse that died in Canadian permafrost around 700,000 years ago. “We already have long-term data,” Grass says. “Real long-term data.”
But despite its inherent advantages, there are still some major hurdles to surmount before DNA becomes a viable storage option. For one, synthesis and sequencing is still too costly. “We’re still on the order of a million-fold too expensive on both fronts,” Kosuri says. Plus, it’s still slow to read and write, and it’s not rewritable nor is it random access. Currently, today’s DNA data storage techniques are similar to magnetic tape—the whole memory has to be read to retrieve a piece of information.
Such caveats limit DNA to archival data storage, at least for the time being. “The question is if it’s going to drop fast enough and low enough to really compete in terms of dollars per gigabyte,” Grass says. It’s likely that DNA will continue to be of interest to medical and biological laboratories, which will help to speed up synthesis and sequencing and drive down prices.
Whatever new technologies are on the horizon, history has taught us that Reed-Solomon-based coding will probably still be there, behind the scenes, safeguarding our data against errors. Like the genes within an organism, the codes have been passed down to subsequent generations, slightly adjusted and optimized for their new environment. They have a proven track record that starts on Earth and extends ever further into the Milky Way. “There cannot be a code that can correct more errors than Reed-Solomon codes…It’s mathematical proof,” Bossert says. “It’s beautiful.”

Modelling and design tools adapting to new materials

Modelling and design tools adapting to new materials
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Agilent Battery
The growing use of silicon alternatives such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide is forcing changes in electronic modelling and design software
The use of alternative organic and inorganic materials and compounds to replace traditional silicon within integrated circuits (ICs) and transistors is widely expected to expand over the next few years. As a result, modelling and simulation tools are being upgraded to let design and manufacturing companies work out how best to use them.
Various analyst predictions forecast broader adoption of components based on transistors that use inorganic materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) or silicon carbide (SiC) as a semiconductor band-gap compound to handle the same voltages but in smaller, more reliable packages.
French market research firm Yole Développement predicted that revenue from sales of GaN-based devices would grow from $10m in 2012 to $500m in 2016, for example, with an expected surge in demand for electric vehicles using them for mains battery with like Agilent N9912A Battery, Agilent N9915A Battery, Agilent N9916A Battery, Agilent N9917A Battery, Agilent N9927A Battery, Agilent N9937A Battery, Anritsu MT9082A2 Battery, Anritsu MT9082A8 Battery, Anritsu MT9082C9 Battery, Anritsu MT9082A2 Battery, Anritsu MT9080 Battery, Anritsu MT9080D Batterychargers, DC-DC voltage conversion systems and drivetrains predicted to push that figure to $1bn beyond 2017.
More recently IHS, has forecast that GaN-on-silicon LEDs will increase their market share from 1 per cent in 2013 to 40 per cent in 2020.
Semiconductor company Cree manufactures SiC substrates and group III-nitride epitaxial wafers for use in transistors utilised for light emitting diodes (LEDs), power switching devices and radio frequency (RF) power transistors for wireless communications.
In 2014 Cree introduced a family of high-power GaN RF transistors in low-cost plastic packages, including a 300W model operating at 2.7GHz. They are destined for the fourth generation (LTE, or long term evolution) cellular mobile network infrastructure currently being deployed by operators worldwide.
Laurence Wilson, research director at ABI research calculates that while silicon laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) has been the dominant technology in microwave and RF applications for the last 20 years, GaN RF power alternatives have recently 'captured a meaningful market share'. But while adoption of GaN components has so far been limited because of their far higher costs, Cree's plastic-package design brings the difference down to a level that is much closer to parity with silicon.Wilson believes this will make GaN transistors the principal choice for next-'generation wireless networks.
Cree did not reveal which EDA or M&S software it used to create its new plastic-packaged transistors, but the company produced a suite of Verilog-A non-linear device models for a previous family of GaN RF devices using Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS – the EDA software system now owned by Keysight Technologies' EEsof EDA division) and the Microwave Office design platform owned by AWR (formerly Applied Wave Research).
When combined with envelope simulators, these Verilog-A models allow designers to investigate high efficiency circuit approaches, such as Doherty amplifiers, to improve adjacent channel power ratios, spectral re-growth and error vectors. With the 2.7GHz modules available at power levels of 60, 100, 150, 200 and 300 watts, and at different frequencies ranging between 690-960MHz, 1800-2300MHz and 2300-2700MHz, EDA and M&S tools will have played a huge part in validating Cree designs to ensure required levels of drain efficiency, gain, moisture sensitivity levels (MSL-3) and JEDEC environmental standards.

Tips for External Automated Defibrillator Responder 1000/1100

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the GE battery

1.Both automated external defibrillators and semi-automated defibrillators will usually be situated in areas within the medical centers where starting defibrillation would take less than three minutes and be used by first responding nurses or carried by police officers and firefighters who respond to medical emergencies.
2.The PAD units are designed for use by individuals who may arrive on the scene before first responders, such as security guards and flight attendants, who have no medical training but are trained to use these devices.
3.The difference between the two types of external defibrillators is mostly the level of voice prompting, with PAD offering more detailed instructions.
4.The ECG must be obtained through disposable defibrillation electrodes, and the analysis program must analyze ECG data and reach a fast decision in less than 14 seconds.
5.The external defibrillators with battery GE Responder 1100 Battery must deliver defibrillation energy at preset levels and sequences, and users must be able to program the energy sequences without help from service personnel. The automated external defibrillators should charge to maximum energy in less than 15 seconds.
6.When the automated external defibrillators are turned on, analysis should start automatically, or the operator should be prompted to press an analyze button to eliminate delays in starting analysis.
7.When not in analyzing mode, the automated external defibrillator should indicate in an audible and visual manner the presence of a potentially shockable rhythm, or a change to such a rhythm.
8.External defibrillators should be able to deliver a series of 3 shocks within 90 seconds. An automated device should not automatically deliver more than 3 successive detection-shock episodes.
9.Semi-automated defibrillators, which are equipped with a discharge control, should automatically disarm when fully charged, if not intentionally discharged within 10 to 30 seconds after charging. The device should provide a simple and fast way of disarming the unit manually, if the charge is held for over 30 seconds. It should not lose more than 15% of the initial deliverable energy before automatic disarm in either automated external defibrillators or manual mode.
10.Fully automated defibrillators should not hold their charge more than 10 seconds before disarming.
11.Manual override can let the more experienced user continue a resuscitation attempt upon arrival without the need to remove the current defibrillator. This feature would be more commonly found on standard automated external defibrillators.
12.The automated external defibrillators, which are simple and easy-to-use, require less user training than the semi-automated defibrillators in rhythm recognition and device operation, as well as less constant education time, compared with conventional defibrillators. When the incidence of cardiac arrest is low, skill maintenance is important for users of both conventional defibrillators and automated external defibrillators.
13.An ECG display also allows the rescue to continue without having to disconnect or unravel the paddles or electrodes to switch the plug-in cord from the automated external defibrillators to a compatible defibrillator/monitor.
14.The automated external defibrillators have different documentation features such as dual-channel ECG - voice recorders or solid-state memory with a device that stores information summarizing the resuscitation attempt.
15.Several software packages are offered by some of the manufacturers of these devices to help with information storage and trending. However, many large emergency medical systems choose to develop their own databases.
16.Based on the external defibrillator’s amount of use, the disposable electrodes can be a serious expense.
17. Battery life is reduced when the battery is installed, and if the unit performs periodic self-tests, a non-rechargeable battery can be exhausted within a few days of training.
18.Automated external defibrillators, which are used by first responders in the pre-hospital environment, should be light and portable.
19.In order to minimize intricacy, some advanced features of manual, semi-automated defibrillators or monitors have been stripped to create an easy-to-use device capable of offering an effective initial response to cardiac arrest.
