Nissan Navara, for business and leisure … – La Gazzetta dello Sport

At the Frankfurt Motor Show Nissan will present a renewed generation of the Navara pick-up, the NP300. The full technical details will be revealed at the German show, but there are also preliminary information that allow from now to guess the first news of the model. The new Nissan NP300 Navara, firstly, is the twelfth generation of the pickup that Nissan offers from 1935. As has always been the philosophy of the model, also the pick-up Nissan Navara NP300 will offer a dual-purpose of use, the “Working” and one for leisure. The first offers a cargo area of ​​increased size than its predecessor, so that the new Navara has a payload of more than a ton. Moreover, while the double cab configuration combines a box 1.58 meters long, 6.7 cm more than the previous edition, the King Cab model has a single cabin, instead, a box 1.79 meters long.

engine – Under the hood of the new Nissan engine is a 2300 cc dCi turbodiesel, available in two power levels, from 160 and 190 hp. For transmission are provided for the rear-drive solution and the 4×4. Especially useful, for use in their free time the technological equipment of the new driver assistance Navara offering standard cruise control, assistance in the hill descent and hill starts, the device that helps in emergency braking situations and the Around View Monitor that thanks to the cameras and a radar constantly monitors what is happening around the vehicle.



Style – In the style of the Nissan NP300 Navara are clear also aesthetic solutions that make more modern line: the front grille of the new design, the LED lights accents at the front of the latest models of the Japanese manufacturer came on the market.

Ifa 2015, voices from Berlin: what can we expect – The Republic

EVERY YEAR the same story. L ‘ Ifa Berlin (September 4 to 9), with its set of ads, news, technologies, will be overshadowed by an event Apple , in San Francisco on Sept. 9. The world of technology is so, Apple has understood and strategically uses its media to crush the other brands.

So the companies presenting products in Berlin will have to divide the light and media attention in those two- three days pre-show, attention that will last a blink because everyone is already wondering “what Apple will present?”. They all understood, but the only brand strong enough to escape this massacre game is Samsung , that his trademark has it and can afford to anticipate the launch of Note 5 and Edge of the S6 + in mid-August. In any case, it is inevitable is that Apple invented the smartphone, is that Apple has reinvented the tablet, is that Apple is now the most capitalized in history. And it is so for a reason.

But there is a but: technology goes forward even without the apple logo and not always the products of Cupertino – albeit often more desirable and, perhaps, the best mobile OS in circulation – are the best there is on the market in terms of hardware and innovation. We should not then snub the news – that should not be revolutionary – that we will see in the stands of Berlin. There will be new products, but behind the brands, and in the body of the device, there will certainly be of little touches of innovation that will change slightly, and technology will improve our lives in the coming years.

rumors circulating on mobile devices are pushy and probably true: Sony will launch a Z5 in various formats, Huawei his Mate S, Asus update all Zen line (from the PC to the smartwatch), Samsung was held in Berlin on his watch, which will become round. Acer and Toshiba will show a batch of new notebooks, tablets and more. No need to chase the individual items to be sure of one thing: they will all product improvement, sometimes substantial, but always just an evolution of what is already on the market. More powerful, with more features and sensors, hopefully with a better battery life.


Among other things, it is worth noting, for those interested in the role play between major tech companies, that the choice of Samsung anticipate major launches, means that ‘large’ launch events will organize two Chinese companies, Lenovo (and with it its subsidiary Motorola ) and Huawei . A shift of balance to China, just weeks of great crisis in the stock market. Inevitably, with the growth of the giant Legend he was born in the 80s and then grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of PC while the giant Shenzhen is now firmly the third largest manufacturer of smartphones. Little revenge from Korea: the opening keynote will be given by LG .

And the fact that the keynote will be on Lg display confirmed that in Berlin we will see many TVs: the TV for a couple of years is a huge industry in growth (and ultimately profitable enough), and video technologies are hiding interesting developments. Surely they deserve a focus, even if the prices of these products are prohibitive for the average user. Another area that produces a new high rate is that of the sound : for lovers of good music on his headphones, crates and playback formats in high definition audio remain ‘tuned’.

Last but not least, they will be the central, the automation and smart appliances . If you do not want to resign yourself to a house controlled digitally – from light to security, from the refrigerator to the washing machine – tappatevi eyes and ears, because these products have come to stay. And make your life – if not easier – at least more efficient from an energy point of view and environmentally friendly. Appointment in Berlin.

Thermal efficiency over aesthetics – Courier Innovazine



Milan , August 29, 2015 – 14:29

     
     
 

Warm in winter, cool in summer , cheap all year. But never at the expense of aesthetics and quality living. The building is ideal, in Bolzano, is a goal heard so as to constitute the object of a new university laboratory, which is the capital of South Tyrol one of the world capitals of thermophysics of buildings. He inaugurated the Free University of Bolzano (Lub), along with three other laboratories (research and quality control of food security; energy production; engineering innovations agroforestry) that make up the embryo of the new Technology Park. Where, other news, might be born the first world standard of measurement of pesticides that do not affect the plants but are missing.

Buildings bare in the? Hot box

 

Climatic chamber

The Laboratory of thermophysics of the buildings makes research and performance testing of the housing components of the buildings and on the heating and cooling systems, in particular on the distribution systems, and emission control. The heart of the center – directed by Andrea Gasparella, professor of environmental technical physics at the Faculty of Science and Technology – is a climatic chamber (technically “hot box”) that allows you to measure responses to the stresses of variable components opaque buildings, ie the walls, with technology supplied by a few other centers in the world. “We study the characteristics of the walls individually – explains Gasparella – but especially in their interaction with the other components of the housing, opaque and windowed. Another line of research concerns the dynamic response of the plants, in particular of ventilation systems. ” Businesses will not only local, to test the quality of new materials and systems. But the turning point is mainstreaming efficiency with that of livability and perception of the built environment by the occupiers, to “contextualize the energy performance in terms of thermal comfort, visual and acoustic guaranteed. The market, in short, no longer content with the simple energy certification. “Efficiency – explains Gasparella – can not be pursued at the expense of the quality of the indoor environment. Research in this area has a lot to give to allow the design and optimal management of buildings to high performance. “

From the sprayer to electronic noses

In the engineering laboratory for innovations agro forestry, directed by Fabrizio Bunch, professor of “Agricultural engineering and farm machinery ‘to Faculty of Science and technology, he will among other things to test the “sprayer”, ie agricultural machinery used for pesticide treatments. The first step is to measure the “drift” that is, the amount of product that does not affect plants elsewhere but is dispersed by the wind, with consequences not yet sufficiently studied. “We are already in contact with the National Board for agricultural mechanization to define a standard measure of the drift which, at present, in fact does not exist. We may be the first, “says Bunch. Among the novelties of laboratory food technologies there are micro-pilot systems that monitor the induced effects on the chemical and physical properties of food products by processes such as “shelf life” of food, that is, the shelf life, with the aim of improve conservation. For quality control and food safety will be used a nose and electronic tongue (eNose and eTongue). “Thanks to them – explains the director Matthew Scampicchio, professor of food technology at the Faculty of Science and technology – we know if the addition of an ingredient with an antioxidant or a natural extract – can delay the formation of unpleasant odors and tastes , as for example in foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids. The laboratory of the energy production, led by Marco Barattieri, will take care of converting energy from biomass and their physical and chemical characterization and energy.

Eni announces big news: “Discovered the field more … – Italian News

Announced a few days ago a great discovery made by Eni in the Mediterranean . It is a gas discovery of global significance, in the Egyptian; from the findings, it seems to be the largest oil field in the Mediterranean, unable to meet the demand of Egyptian natural gas for decades. As already mentioned, The discovery was made in the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea, at the exploration prospect called Zohr, the No a well located approximately 1,450 meters depth d ‘Water, in block Shorouk, signed in January 2014 with the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) following a competitive international tender.

From the information available geological and geophysical, and the data acquired in the discovery well, the the supergiant field has a resource potential of up to 850 billion cubic meters of gas in place (5.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent) and an extension of about 100 square kilometers. As mentioned earlier, it is the largest gas discovery ever made in Egypt and in the Mediterranean Sea and the square is also becoming one of the biggest gas finds in the world.

It’s a really important day for our company and the people of Eni. This important achievement is the confirmation of our expertise and our capacity for technological innovation with immediate practical application, and shows above all the spirit of strong cooperation between all the business components that are the basis of these great successes. The strategy that has led us to insist in research in mature areas of countries that we know from decades has proven successful, proving that Egypt still has great potential “ says For the Eni .

Expo, presented a special machine that turns the air … – Italian News

In a major new technology sector is coming thanks to a special machine that will transform the air we breathe in drinking water. The novelty was presented at Expo by the Seas, which is the company Riva San Vitale, that designed and built the system Awa Modula; the car specifically is able to capture moisture from the atmosphere and turn it into drinking water of high quality. machinery, in fact, can be powered with photovoltaic panels of common and ensures the production of ‘blue gold’ virtually all ‘infinite.

The useful life of twenty years’, be extended to thirty with normal maintenance . “Think of the refrigerator grandmother. Which at one point he was defrosted. Then the grandmother peeling off the plug and the ice began to melt, poured water everywhere.

We have to do just as for defrosting refrigerator: keep the temperature at 2 degrees whatever the outside. The collected water is filtered and then made drinkable with the addition of mineral salts. In addition, the cold and the heat we use for this process, the riusiamo to heat and cool, “ says the general manager, who provided this description through a clear and complete machinery. In this respect also the Professor Anna Magrini University of Pavia said: “The technology provides a low or no environmental impact. Unlike technology reverse osmosis (desalination, water purification, sewage treatment, etc..), The SEAS does not release impurities into the local ecosystem and provides an unlimited source of inexhaustible and clean water. ”

PC and tablet in free fall, in 2015 the decline of 8-9 percent – Reuters

and tablet PCs in free fall, in 2015 the decline of 8-9 percent

The market data from IDC: a” modest growth ” It is expected to return in 2017

There are true modern technologies and markets PCs and tablets will suffer, so as to collapse. It is the photograph taken by the company for this year that IDC estimates a drop of nearly 9% in deliveries for computers globally and 8% for the tablet. In affect, according to analysts, even the free upgrade to Windows 10 that did not stimulate sales of new equipment.

The world of personal computer shipments, IDC estimates, will decline by 8.7% in 2015. Although 2016 will be full of decline, marking the fifth consecutive year with a negative sign for the sector. A “modest growth” is expected to return in 2017. Free upgrades to Windows 10 and the lack of new models launched in the short term according to analysts have worsened the estimates of PC.

The situation is no better on the front of the tablet, where even a giant like Apple with its iPad suffers consumption down. The decline in deliveries of the tablet sector globally is expected to be around 8% for IDC, worse than the 3.8% previously estimated.
