72V Battery Electric powered taxis and battery-powered public buses may soon ply the streets of Qatar, a first in the region, thanks to yet another initiative of the public transport company Mowasalat, Qatar sole public transport provider. Together with its research team and its science and development partner and exclusive manufacturer, Mowasalat has developed the first ever battery powered, air-conditioned city bus and electric powered taxis which the company said marks a major breakthrough in the transportation industry. Unveiling what Mowasalat termed as the world's first ever battery powered vehicles yesterday, the company Chairman Jassem Saif Al Sulaiti said: since the launch of the liquid petroleum gas (LPG) run taxis and soon LPG run buses, we are continuously putting all our efforts into technology advancements, facilitating services that offer ecological and economical benefit. Mowasalat launched its first first LPG run taxi in Doha in September last year, with Qatar becoming the first country in the GCC to use LPG as fuel in a bid to strengthen the country's efforts to reduce air pollution. with the challenges faced along the way, the long wait has now proved to be worth it," said Al Sulaiti at a news conference called to mark the occasion. The development of the first ever in the world of battery powered, air-conditioned city bus and electric powered taxis is yet another milestone for Mowasalat and Qatar. We aim to commercialise this technology and to offer it to the international market, he said. he are committed to our community and to the world therefore this project aims to operate our public transport. We fully realize our responsibility to protect the environment. Adhering to the environmental laws, regulations and standards we will help promote the wise use of energy. Al Sulait also said he hopes to attract other government bodies to join in the ambitious project and to be aware of the social commitment that Mowasalat had shown all along and will continue to extend. The electric-powered taxi, weighing 950 kgs, will have a carrying capacity of 350 kg and run on a 72v GEL battery at a maximum speed of 60 km per hour. It will be equipped with a taxi metre and CD player and FM radio. The battery-powered bus with seating capacity of 36 seats and 60 passengers will have a maximum speed of 70km per hour and cover a driving distance of 120km to 150 km.

Cyber Sport to Release Cyber Snipa Sting...

Teflon Cable The Cyber Snipa Stinger takes the final step in the evolution of gaming mice. The Stinger's high-grade components and intuitive, powerful software make it the pinnacle of performance and customization. The Stinger is out now for a RRP of AUD 79.00. The Stinger packs a serious punch with onboard memory; macros can be recorded and set to any of the 6 customizable buttons of a macro profile. With 3 separate profiles, easily accessible with the push of a button, the Stinger gives the possibility of a staggering 18 onboard macros at any one time! The Stinger also features fully adjustable dpi. The software allows the user to select 4 different dpi levels, ranging anywhere from 400 to 3,200 dpi, which can be cycled through by pressing the mouse's dpi button. Ambient light indicators show the current dpi setting so the user is always fully informed without the distraction of having to look away from the on-screen action. In addition to swag of features, the Stinger is custom engineered with the very best components. The gaming grade laser engine operates at over 7,000 frames per second, offers a maximum of 3,200 dpi and features a super fast USB report rate of 1,000Hz, meaning the response time drops from the standard 8ms to 1ms! This, along with the ultra wide 16 bit data path, means the Stinger can track up to 45 inches per second! The Stinger's weight is also customizable; 7x20g weights are housed in the underbelly of the mouse, totaling the possible weight variation to 140 grams. The tilting scroll wheel completes the full range of features, granting the Stinger a total of 9 buttons! The top of the line laser engine, armory of features and a knockdown price means this is a mouse like no other.

St. Pete-Clearwater Airport Gets $1.5 Mi...

ST Generator The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport a $1.5 million grant to improve safety and security and for renovation of the terminal, airport spokeswoman Michele Routh said. The airport's terminal was built in 12 phases over the past 50 years. "With passenger airlines, cargo, general aviation and military operations, the airport is important in our U.S. transportation system and we appreciate Congressman [C.W. Bill] Young's support," airport director Noah Lagos says in a written statement. The money also will provide for things such as a new generator for the airport's fire and rescue department and an airfield drainage study, Routh said. Airport officials expect additional FAA grants.

TREK Introduces 80 Kilovolt High Voltage...

uebkula — Tue, 13 May 2008 15:24:20 +0200

Voltage Control TREK, INC., a designer and manufacturer of high-voltage power amplifiers and high-performance electrostatic instrumentation, recently introduced a High Voltage Power Amplifier (Trek Model 40/15) which, by providing up to 80 kV peak-to-peak (±40 kV), delivers the highest level of output voltages for any amplifier in its class, taking the term ‘high voltage’ to new heights – to voltage levels not previously feasible or available from high voltage linear amplifiers. The Model 40/15 HV amplifier is the first of its kind to achieve such high voltage ranges along with high performance capabilities typically available only with lower voltage units. The 40/15 offers outstanding DC stability, high speed and precise control of output voltages in the range of 0 to ±40 kV DC or peak AC with an output current range of 0 to ±15 mA DC or peak AC. This HV amplifier raises the bar on amplifier technology by providing a bipolar output amplifier in the±40 kV range that offers exceptional stability and wideband performance, with high slew rates over a wide range of AC signals, together with low-noise operation. Trek Model 40/15 was designed in response to the market need for ever-higher-voltage amplifiers as research and development technologies continue to make advancements in next generation applications. Research applications for the 40/15 include electrostatic deflection and dielectric studies. Other applications include but are not limited to research in the fields of plasma chemistry, electrostatic levitation, electrostatic coatings and partial discharge. Since many of the research applications relate to materials and material evaluation, the industries and commercial applications that could benefit from the advancements enabled by Model 40/15 are diverse and include: aerospace, biotechnology, defense/military, power/energy, lab/instrumentation and semiconductors/electronics, to name a few. Like all Trek amplifiers, this High Voltage Amplifier Model 40/15 offers: DC stability, wide bandwidth, well-regulated and controlled AC output signals, and full four-quadrant, class AB, all-solid-state output stages. The four-quadrant, active output stage sinks or sources current into reactive or resistive loads throughout the output voltage range. This is essential for achieving the accurate output response and high slew rates demanded by reactive loads. Technical parameters for the Model 40/15 include: output voltage range of 0 to ±40 kV DC or peak AC; output current range of 0 to ±15 mA DC or peak AC; DC accuracy better than 0.1% of full scale; slew rate greater than 350 V/μs; DC offset adjustment from 0 to ±40 kV; adjustable current limit or current trip; precision voltage and current monitors. The unit is CE marked. Trek offers other high-voltage power amplifiers specifically designed to drive reactive as well as resistive loads with high slew rates, wide bandwidth and excellent stability, for use in semiconductor, research, piezo and many other applications. TREK, INC. (est. 1968) is a privately held company that designs, manufactures and markets high performance electrostatic measurement instruments, sensors & monitors, and high voltage amplifiers, power supplies & generators. Trek’s products are used by OEMs involved in; semiconductor manufacturing and electrophotography; in applications sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD); and by companies and universities involved in a wide variety of research applications, including electrostatics, electrophotography, piezoelectrics, electrohydrodynamics and plasma chemistry.
