Continue to innovate and leap

China’s power Dell Latitude D620 Battery development is accompanied by the growth of electric bicycle stems. However, beginning in the domestic lithium-ion battery electric vehicles to carry out research and development, the lithium-ion battery and there were some explosions.

Generally speaking, batteries and battery safety is inversely proportional to the energy stored, namely, the greater the available energy released, the worse its safety. Huang Xue-Jie said, in other words, and in inverse proportion to the weight of the battery. Of course, as the battery size increases, the thermal performance deterioration, the possibility of an explosion is a significant increase, so will be made of lithium-ion battery power battery, it must improve its safety performance; the use of the larger, its demands also achieved higher safety index.

Lithium-ion Dell Latitude D820 Battery explosion, a very important reason is that the use of mobile phone batteries commonly used lithium cobalt oxide as cathode material for lithium-ion battery. Lithium cobalt oxide materials, theoretical specific energy of more than 270 milliamperes per gram of time, but to ensure its revolving nature, the actual capacity available than the theoretical capacity is only half that at about 140 milliamperes.

“In the actual use of the process, if in some unexpected circumstances, such as the management system damage caused by the battery charging voltage is too high, then the remaining part of the lithium will be from the anode through the electrolyte to the cathode surface in the form of lithium metal deposition. “Huang Xue-Jie said that, while the underpotential deposition of lithium on the surface can easily form a” dendrite “, thus piercing the diaphragm, the positive and negative short-circuit, causing fire and explosions accidents. In addition, the lithium metal is very lively, melting point is also low, the battery temperature is too high or partial contact with the shell broken air cases, very dangerous indeed.

Search for alternative cathode material for lithium cobalt oxide to solve security problems is the production of lithium-ion Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery power the optimal first consideration.

“Tenth Five-Year” period, in the 863 Program, supported by CAS Institute of Physics has developed lithium iron phosphate oxygen vacancies and for the vehicle power battery lithium manganese oxide cathode material, they developed a proprietary surface modification technology be applied to modified into the spinel lithium manganese oxide materials, produced when the reversible capacity of 107 milliamperes per gram, 55 ℃ cycle capacity retention rate of 200 times greater than 90%, better than similar products in the international levels and to protect the electric vehicle major projects in high-power lithium-ion batteries the smooth progress of the project. Pilot plant in Shandong Province on the basis of the technical fujitsu lifebook e8110 battery craft, built in Wuxi, an annual output of 1,000 tons of production lines.

In the lithium-ion battery anode material for research and development, our country also has significant progress. As a cell phone lithium-ion battery anode material of choice for middle-carbon micro-balls, our country has to achieve a comprehensive localization. Shanghai Shanshan and Tianjin Tiecheng production of the type of anode material, which were reversible capacity of 300-340 mAh / g, performance indicators have reached or in part, exceed international advanced level, and the price is only two-thirds of imported products . But the graphite anode materials can not meet high-power hybrid cars and long-life requirements, Huang Xue-Jie said, in the power fujitsu lifebook e8210 battery, the use of a graphite structure, mesophase carbon micro-sphere there is a fatal flaw, namely, the impact of high current when the As the volume change, carbon surface of the solid electrolyte layer of the ball will be damaged, thus accelerating the decay of its life. In the 863 nano-specific support, the Beijing Star Constant successfully developed a hard carbon anode materials, Badachu Hi-Tech Park is located in the pilot line is expected to put into production later this month.

The safety of lithium-ion battery materials

More than 10 years ago, the lithium-ion canon nb-4l battery is only scientists in the laboratory sought-after piece of scholarship.

Today, the people’s lives almost without it. Mobile phones, portable computers, almost all portable personal electronic equipment must be relied on to provide the required energy.

But how to put it in the car, and became a driving force of motor vehicles; how to access it to become the future power of the “container”, the scientists began to explore constantly, the battery “magnanimous” to a growing, dynamic to Yue Lai is stronger, life expectancy should be longer, but it does not mean that the size and weight but also growing, this is not simply the number of overlay .

The key to this change is that the casio np-20 battery material. The materials used in mobile phone battery must not be used to make electric cars the “heart”, or is not likely to explode, but will certainly be trouble.

Thus, scientists from various countries are trying to find the best answer.

20 years, insisted that something out of nothing

Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences research fellow and doctoral tutor Huang Xue-Jie evaluation of the development of China’s lithium-ion batteries are: from scratch, from small to large, developed rapidly.

In 2000 China’s output of about 20 million, accounting for 3.6% global share, with South Korea close to a time when Japan had reached an annual output of 512 million, accounting for 93.9%. 2002 China crossed the 100 million in 2004 reached 760 million, accounting for 37.1% of the global casio np-100 market, after Japan.

China’s lithium-ion battery research and development projects has been the focus of 863 items, from mobile devices with small batteries started 20 consecutive years of support. At present a small lithium-ion battery has an annual production capacity of more than 200 million, Japan, SONY, Sanyo and other companies to build production plants to China. Most of these materials achieve localization and the introduction of multi-national has been self-built production lines and supporting materials factory, there are many months, have been the formation of large-scale production and market competition.

“Small battery and its related materials, current technology processes mature into the scale of production, mainly to promote industrial investment.” Wong Hok-chieh.

“China’s power battery research relatively late, but so far has made remarkable achievements.” Huang Xue-Jie said that after 20 years of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to study the accumulation of storage in nano-phosphate lithium anode materials and cathode minolta np-600 materials research in China ranks world-class.

China’s power type lithium-ion batteries “15″ electric vehicles during the 863 major projects with the support of research and development began to address the issue of high power output, security has also been greatly improved, relying on the CAS Institute of Physics Technology Suzhou Star Constant Power Co., created to achieve a flat battery mechanized production, in 2004, Suzhou Star Constant R & D of 10 AH high-energy-type and 7.5 Ah high-power-type manganese lithium-ion battery has passed the United States UL safety test, becoming the first Chinese mainland by a UL-certified Li-ion power battery, the current bulk supply of products have been domestic and international markets. The development of 15 high-power battery, when an electric vehicle 863 major projects through the organization’s unity test, “15″ period has been successfully applied to the fuel cell sony np-f970 hybrid electric car concept car “Beyond II” and “Beyond the Three.” When an eight high-power battery has become the “Shanghai” brand fuel cell hybrid car standard.

“Car lithium-ion battery technology development and other high-end products, not just the development of China’s electric car industry needs, will also bring China’s lithium-ion digital camera battery industry, a comprehensive technical upgrades.” Wong Hok-chieh.

Japan to develop safety standards for lithium batteries

Mobile phones have repeatedly Apple Battery occurred in the recent explosion of things, but last week, Nokia’s worldwide recall of 46 million mobile phone Acer Battery, but also caused the industry’s mobile phone battery safety questioned.

Yesterday, reporters learned that Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, the battery industry will, of Information and Communications Industry Association and video network equipment industry will have begun to cooperate in establishing technical standards for the safe use of lithium batteries. According to reports, the industry associations involved in notebook computers, mobile phones and digital cameras and many other industries apple A1078 , apple A1079 .

Prior to that, for the safe use of lithium batteries, Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association and the battery industry, has been co-developed the “the safe use of notebook PC batteries Manual.” In the future, these four large groups is expected that the handbook will be standards as the basis for discussion. According to another report, the Japanese economy, Trade and Industry is considering lithium batteries designated as “Consumer Product Safety Act of living” the specific products and will help the industry groups to develop technical standards.

Industry sources pointed out that the explosion was mainly due to mobile phone apple A1148 , apple A1175 , apple A1185 battery causes, the use of poor quality or poor-quality battery charger, battery charging time is too long, high-temperature or short-circuit could cause an explosion. Compared with the cell phone explosion, notebook battery problem is even more widespread, Sony, Dell and other international brands have taken place due to battery problems caused by fire events, while the notebook manufacturers to recall events of the battery in question is not uncommon in recent years.

Nokia intends to be completed end of this year recovery plan for bad batteries

Nokia Corporation (Nokia Corp.) Spokesman Marianne Holmlund said the company plans to complete its year-end 2007, the battery restoration program. The company currently too much heat is being replaced with 4,600 million cell phone batteries.

According to “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” (Nikkei) reported, Holmlund said, Nokia is working with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.) Cooperation to ensure that problems with lithium batteries can be repaired as soon as possible. Those batteries from Matsushita Battery Co., Ltd. (Matsushita Battery Industrial Co.) Manufacturing.

The Finnish mobile phone giant has released the battery product advice, because of the problems these batteries overheating while charging the battery itself, leading to deformation. Nokia insists that this is not a serious injury due to battery overheating carried back to the response, but apple A1189 , ibook g4 12 battery , ibook g4 14 battery consumers demand the product should be replaced.

Holmlund said that Nokia batteries to fix all problem is very difficult, like the call back to the car and computer parts products, fixed rates are usually 30% or less.

If the battery is low repair rate, Nokia is likely to consider continuing the battery in 2007 after the rehabilitation program.

Holmlund did not indicate the cost of replacement batteries. Once the battery is expected to identify the cause of the malfunction, Nokia and Panasonic will be sharing costs.

The future development trend of fuel cell materials Prospect

Predicted in 2007 gasoline prices will increase 27%. Supply disruption in Nigeria, Iran’s nuclear problem may be caused by interruption of oil exports, as well as declines in U.S. gasoline stocks since April 2006 prices increased significantly. Brent oil price from 66 U.S. dollars / barrel soared to 73 U.S. dollars / barrel. Oil prices in 2007 is expected to be raised to 63.7 U.S. dollars / barrel. According to a variety of ways to predict, in 2010 China’s natural gas consumption will reach 1000 × 108 Lifang Mi / a about.

China’s methanol consumption in recent years has maintained rapid growth momentum, 1998 and-2004 average annual growth rate of 15% in 2004 to 5.73 million tons, while domestic methanol production over the same period was only 4.406 million tons, showing the situation of short supply. But the future of new methanol production capacity can quickly enlarge, thus reversing the supply and demand. Is expected in 2010 China’s methanol production capacity reached 15 million tons in 2015 will reach 24.1 million tons. The demand side, formaldehyde, methanol consumption is still the main driving force is expected in 2010 will consume four million tons of methanol, in addition to acetic acid production capacity in 2010 to reach 3 million tons required to consume 1.9 million tons of methanol, combined with MTBE, and other downstream products the needs of development status of China’s methanol demand in 2010 is expected powerbook g4 battery , powerbook g4 12 battery to reach 12.3 million tons in 2015 to 24.5 million tons (The above data comes from coal Network). To preliminary statistics, China’s current project under construction or official of the methanol project in less than 50, the methanol project under construction production capacity more than 4 million t / a, while the proposed methanol plant and planning capacity of more than 20 million t / a. If the projects are all carried out in accordance with the planning, then (of course, a lot of projects in the planning stage only), the next two to three years may be focused on the situation of heavy volume, which will have an important future price of methanol, the negative effects. In addition, most new projects are concentrated in the central and western areas, which will lead to a regional excess of methanol supply problems.

Kunshan, Jiangsu to establish a base of renewable energy

The above is a small plate, the following is a lamp, no wires, it receives sunlight during the day for aspire 1300 battery , acer aspire 3000 battery energy, through the top of the piece of silicon material made of thin plate, into electrical energy lighting, which is solar energy lamp. At present, the reporter was informed that the Kunshan Economic and Trade Commission, a special production will convert sunlight into heat, electricity and other materials, renewable energy industry, and is the rise of high-tech zones in Kunshan.

Is located in Yushan Town, Kunshan City, Kunshan High-tech Zone, was established in April last year, in order to seize the development opportunities, when the district planning and construction of an area of l500 mu demonstration base of renewable energy industries, through the introduction and cultivation, with 5 years to build an annual capacity of 2000 MW, the products involved in polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon, sliced, batteries, film, battery components, solar cells and other family-based product manufacturing, raw material supply sourcing center equipped with solar energy, solar energy equipment manufacturing center, personnel training center of renewable energy industries.

The rise of China’s battery industry a comprehensive

“Made in China” to change the market structure btp 60a1 battery , acer batcl50l , lcbtp03003

Domestic battery sweep pattern of the Chinese market is clearly inseparable from its efforts over the years. In order to rewrite the past, Japanese-brand batteries rampant in the Chinese market situation, South-fu, Double Deer, White Elephant and so provoked the burden of domestic battery brands to create a scientific and technological innovation “Made in China” journey. Which ranked top in the domestic market of South-fu batteries, but also by virtue of a powerful “Plant science research” independent innovation mechanism, in the process, technology, product innovation and other aspects of comprehensive research and development, become the largest alkaline battery brands.

Philosophy of environmental protection from a sense of responsibility

The overall rise of China’s battery business benefited from strong corporate social responsibility. Domestic battery is no longer based on the current corporate cost of pollution to the environment to develop business, but through the “green revolution” to win customers and markets. Back in the early 90s of last century, the Chinese battery manufacturer with a sense of responsibility and mission to begin the process of environmental protection battery production. Like Nanfu, through independent research and technological innovation, the success of transformation out of the world’s most advanced production lines, and in 2000 the first full realization of alkaline manganese batteries mercury-free products. Fu, etc. in the South under the leadership of a number of enterprises, the domestic many large companies also have the battery began to restructure production of environmentally friendly energy saving alkaline travelmate 2300 battery , acer 2300 battery , travelmate 4000 battery.

Can be said that the success of China’s battery production companies, not dependent on the cheap “Made in China” and the international brand price competition, but through constant innovation in technology and market, through the international standards of quality and marketing won the consumers and market.

Speedier 8GB iPhone 3GS Will Replace the Existing IPhone 3G

Speedier 8GB iPhone 3GS Will Replace the Existing IPhone 3G

A German customer who purchased a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G found a label on the back that said “iPhone 3GS v2.2, 8GB.” The model number, A1241, and part number, MB490DN/A, are identical to the existing iPhone 3G, but other materials on the packaging reference an 8GB iPhone 3GS. The forum post from a Hamburg resident was discovered by Electronista.

Currently, the lowest-capacity iPhone 3GS is a 16GB model for $199 in the U.S. with a two-year AT&T contract. It sports a fast PowerVR SGX GPU core that supports Open GL ES 2.0, which the existing $99 iPhone 3G cannot do for Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery.In August, reports of a 8GB iPhone 3G were detailed in internal information from carrier Rogers Wireless in Canada. However, that was later discredited as a formatting error on the company’s computer systems.

A mid-cycle upgrade for the iPhone would not be a new approach for Apple A1175 battery . In early 2008, Apple introduced a 16GB iPhone for $499. Months later, the iPhone 3G was released.Recent reports have said Apple has scheduled a special media event for Jan. 26, 2010. New products are expected to be announced at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Calif.

If consumers are really looking of free e-books instead of paying for them, then the market for ebooks may be far smaller than what many consider to be a growing market for Sony VGP-BPS2C battery .?? Perhaps another problem is the availability of many free, electronic content on-line on many websites.? One can download free newspaper articles, magazine articles, and even technical manuals easily.? Some companies offer pdf books for free which can then be used on an ebook reader.? Perhaps all of the free content on-line is playing a role in how consumers view and purchase ebooks.?

During the company’s earnings report in October, Chief Operations Officer Tim Cook noted that the $99 iPhone 3G did not impact sales of the high-end iPhone 3GS for Dell GD761 battery . In fact, he said, that demand for the iPhone 3GS exceeded the company’s expectations. The average selling price of iPhones last quarter was just over $600, demonstrating gravitation towards the iPhone 3GS.

The case of the racist Become Headache For HP

The case of the racist Become Headache For HP

(Source:battery blog)By now, you may have seen the viral Youtube video (above) where a black man and a white woman point out the shortcomings of an HP Media Smart web cam when it came to tracking the man’s face for A1175 . It’s a video — titled “HP computers are racist” — that’s done with some fun, but it’s darn effective in pointing out an embarassing shortcoming of the HP product in a way that quickly became a PR headache for the company.

The topic of facial-recognition tech intrigued me, so I called up Bill Anderson, head of Oculis Labs in Owings Mills, which makes Private Eye, a sophisticated face and gaze-tracking software for security uses of HP F4809A. Bill’s been working on face-recognition tech for awhile. Below are key points and quotes from my interview with him today:

* There can be settings or environments where a facial recognition system finds it very hard to understand what it’s looking at, Bill said. “A very white face like mine … will not get picked up on some backgrounds if they are a pinkish or yellowish kind of color.”

* “It’s a relatively hard problem to make a facial recognition packgage smart enough to find faces in arbitrary environments for Dell C1295 ,” Bill said.

* “There’s actually less difference between human skin tones [black vs. white], as far as the camera is concerned, than meets the eye.”

* Computer software can’t compete with the brain in terms of facial recognition. “The human brain has a disproportionate amount of its processing power dedicated to face recognition like HP F4809A. A huge part of the brain is hard-coded to recognize faces. It starts since birth. It instinctively locks onto faces…. You can think of it as the human brian is several orders of magnititude more capable than the best supercomputers we have on earth, in terms of recignizing faces. That’s the competition.”

* Software typially is only capable of a “few bag of tricks” in its capacity to find and recognize a face, Bill said.

* Typical steps in software to find faces include: The software first is designed to locate an oblong shape (the head), then it goes looking for the eyes, which are typically two darker spots in the upper part of the oblong shape like VGP-BPS2A. Then the software goes looking for a nose, or a mouth, or lips. Once through those steps, the software determines whether it has a candidate for a face. That’s just the “first pass.”

The second pass involves gauging skin tone, considering intensity and color. “There a narrow band of intensity [regardless of actual skin color] that’s unique” to all human skin, he said for KD476,. “It’s looking at something that looks like skin,” he said.The third pass will look for motion, to determine if the image is “acting like a face,” and not a static object, like a poster of a human face, Bill said. “Our software looks for motion, because a face moves.”

* What Bill thinks might have gone wrong in HP’s case: “My guess is that of the various parameters the software uses to determine a face, that face was probably triggering only some of those parameters. It probably found the head and eyes…. but there was something else it didn’t find. Something didn’t pass that threshold like HP F4809A. I don’t think it was skin tone because his skin was clearly not the same as the background behind him. It wasn’t a contrast problem… Now, it could’ve been the color band of the skin set by the software was a little bit too low, and the software was looking for skin tone that fit within a certain color band. It could’ve been the way that his skin tone looked at that particular lighting

* Bill has 250 people in his beta program who help test Oculis software. “We’ve had issues too, where software would not recognize a face.”

* There are good (software) packages out there, but there are no perfect packages out there like VGP-BPS2… and there probably never will be. They’re just working at an incredible computational disadvantage compared to the human brain.”

* Said Bill: “Having looked at that ["HP computers are racist"] video, I think the software we’re using would’ve found it’s face. I’d love to try for VGP-BPS2A. I’d suspect that HP has a little bit of work to do to fix their algorithms. I’m sure they’ll fix them, but it’s a little bit disappointitng they didn’t have it working right the first time.”
