Continuously variable transmission

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:43:00 +0000

A Continuously variable transmission is a transmission which can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that only allow a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:25:00 +0000

Samsung's Show which is better known as Samsung W7900 made a brief but a high impact appearance at CES this year, and now, the folks over at PopSci have managed to acquire a few more juicy specifications as well as a few moments of coveted hands-on time. The forthcoming projector phone, which is apt to land in South Korea first, includes a 3.2-inch OLED display (400 x 240 resolution), quad-band GSM connectivity, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, a five megapixel camera, support for video calling and the obligatory ten lumen projector that shoots 480 x 320 images out at up to 50 inches. The entire device measures in at 4.4- x 2.2- x 0.7-inches, and it actually doesn't emit a half bad image when the lights are all down.

Did You know KERS....???

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:34:00 +0000

What is this KERS?
It’s a system you store the energy produced under braking in a reservoir (either batteries or flywheel) in order to release it under acceleration.

there only one way to recover the energy and reuse it?
Absolutely not; the engineers have a choice between two different approaches. The first consisted of using a carbon flywheel in a vacuum linked via a CVT transmission to the differential. This system stores the mechanical energy, offers a big storage capacity and has the advantage of being independent from the gearbox. However, to be driven precisely, it requires some powerful and bulky actuators, and lots of space. The second option was to rely on an electrical motor, which works by charging the batteries under braking and releasing the power on acceleration.

With the electrical solution, the system consists of three important parts:
• An electric motor (MGU: Motor Generator Unit) situated between the fuel tank and the engine, linked directly to the crankshaft of the V8 to deliver additional power.
• Some latest generation ion-lithium batteries (HVB: High Voltage Battery Pack) capable of storing and delivering energy rapidly.
• A control box (KCU: KERS Control Unit), which manages the behaviour of the MGU when charging and releasing energy. It is linked to the car’s standard electronic control unit.

What can the main challenges encountered during the development of the system?
Firstly, it was necessary to deal with the weight and volume of the system, which adds considerable weight in comparison with the car. This means there is less ballast available for the engineers to redistribute in order to balance the chassis. Also, the cooling of the batteries is of great importance and it was necessary to develop a specific system for them.

Does the MGU have to be positioned between the engine and the fuel tank?
No. It’s possible to situate it parallel to the gearbox in the rear of the car. So it’s connected straight to the rear wheels and releases its power through the differential.

Rs. 30000 crore aid by Government to boost economy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 14:37:00 +0000

The Government on Sunday announced a Rs 300,000 crore ($60 billion) package to boost the economy with specific measures for various sectors and contain the impact of the global financial crisis on India.

The amount is to be spent over the remaining four months on a host of areas and stake holders such as exporters, housing, infrastructure and textiles. A four-percent cut in Value Added Tax has also been announced to help the corporate sector in general.

"The Government has been concerned about the impact of the global financial crisis on the Indian economy and a number of steps have been taken to deal with this problem," an official statement said, unveiling the package.

The measures come a day after the Reserve Bank of India reduced its key rates and eased the norms for accessing overseas funds to reduce the cost of borrowing for commercial banks and signal them to lower interest rate for India Inc.

These measures were overseen by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself, in consultations with now Home Minister P Chidambaram, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Commerce Minister Kamal Nath, officials said.

As a first step, the Government will seek Parliament's mandate for an additional allocation of Rs 200 billion to take the authorised plan and non-plan expenditure to Rs.3,000 billion in the remaining months of the fiscal. Parliament session is slated to open Dec 10.

“The economy will continue to need stimulus in 2009-2010 also and this can be achieved by ensuring a substantial increase in plan expenditure as part of the budget for next year,” the statement said.

The measures for exporters, who saw a decline in shipments in October for the first time in five years, include an interest support of two percent for labour intensive sectors like textiles, handicraft and handloom.

This apart, additional allocation has been made towards various incentives for exporters, guarantee of export credit, full refund of service tax to foreign agents and refund of service tax under the duty drawback scheme.

Instructions have also been given to state-run banks to unveil a scheme under which borrowers for houses under two categories—up to Rs, 500,000 and up to Rs.2 million—will get special incentives.

“Housing is a potentially very important source of employment and demand for critical sectors and there is a large unmet need for housing in the country, especially for middle and low income groups,” the statement said.

For small and micro enterprises, the limits under the credit guarantee scheme which gives access to working capital and other financial needs, have been doubled to Rs.10 million.

The lock in period for loans covered under the existing credit guarantee scheme is also being reduced from 24 to 18 months to encourage banks to extend more loans under the credit guarantee scheme, the statement said.

The government has also authorised the India Infrastructure Finance Co Ltd (IIFCL) to raise Rs.100 billion ($2 billion) through tax-free bonds to support financing of government-financed infrastructure projects.

“These funds will be used by IIFCL to refinance bank lending of longer maturity to eligible infrastructure projects, particularly in highways and port sectors.”

In a push to the automobile sector, government departments have been allowed to replace vehicles within the allowed budget, with a major relaxation in the time-consuming procedures.

This apart, import duty on naphtha for use by the power sector is being reduced to zero, while export duty on iron ore fines will be eliminated, and reduced to five percent for lumps.

“The government is keeping a close watch on the evolving economic situation and will not hesitate to take any additional steps that may be needed to counter recessionary trends and maintain the pace of economic activity.”

Fiscal stimulus package worth Rs.20000 crore announced

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 13:50:00 +0000

The government today has announced a fiscal stimulus package worth Rs 20,000-crore. Prime Minister, also the incumbent Finance Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh announced this package in New Delhi who had earlier today cut short his Kolkota visit.

In a release on the press information Bureau website, it stated, "The Government has been concerned about the impact of the global financial crisis on the indian economy and a number of steps have been taken to deal with this problem". Yesterday, the Reserve Bank of India in the wake to increase liquidity in the market had announced a 100 basis points cut in the repo and reverse repo rate.

"In order to provide a contra-cyclical stimulus via plan expenditure, the Government has decided to seek authorisation for additional plan expenditure of up to Rs 20,000 crore in the current year. In addition, steps are being taken to ensure full utilisation of funds already provided, so that the pace of expenditure is maintained, " the government's release stated. "The economy will continue to need stimulus in 2009-2010 also and this can be achieved by ensuring a substantial increase in plan expenditure as part of the budget for next year".

This fiscal stimulus package is primarily aimed at lending greater support to exports, housing, MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) sector, textile, infra financing sectors; and also contains a cut in the cenvat rate and eliminates certain import and export duties.

As an immediate measure to encourage additional spending, the release said, an across-the-board cut of 4% in the ad valorem Cenvat rate will be effected for the balance part of the current financial year on all products other than petroleum and those where the current rate is less than 4%.

A release note stated that, "Housing is a potentially very important source of employment and demand for critical sectors and there is a large unmet need for housing in the country, especially for middle and low income groups. The Reserve Bank has announced that it will shortly put in place a refinance facility of Rs.4000 crore for the National Housing Bank".

And as a further measure of support for this sector, public sector banks will shortly announce a package for borrowers of home loans in two categories:

(1) up to Rs.5 lakh and

(2) Rs 5 lakh-Rs 20 lakh.

The above sector will be under scanner and additional measures would be taken as necessary to promote an accelerated growth trajectory as and when needed".

The Government attaches the highest priority to supporting the medium, small and micro enterprises (MSME's) sector which is critical for employment generation, the release further noted. To facilitate the flow of credit to MSMEs, the RBI announced a refinance facility of Rs 7000 crore for SIDBI which will be available to support incremental lending, either directly to MSME's or indirectly via banks, NBFC's and SFC's.

An additional allocation of Rs 1400 crore will be made to clear the entire backlog in TUF Scheme, in a bid to boost the textile sector.

The government also aims to address the problem faced in infrastructure spending. A large number of infrastructure projects are now being cleared for implementation in the Public Private Partnership mode. These projects may experience difficulty in reaching financial closure given the current uncertainties in the financial world. In order to support financing of such projects, the Government authorised the India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) to raise Rs.10,000 crore through tax-free bonds by March 31, 2009. These funds would be used by IIFCL to refinance bank lending of longer maturity to eligible infrastructure projects, particularly in highways and port sectors.

Terrorism-"The word that is haunting the world"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 03:21:00 +0000

Terrorism in recent times has jolted the entire world to its max which has lead to fear of extension of human race in the wake of war for capitalisation of terrorists against non-Islamic community. One such recent attempts was the attack by terrorists in Bangalore - the green city, who used low intensity timer deviced bombs. There were blasts took place in 7 of the busiest places during lunch hour. The blasts set off from 1.40 pm to 2.15 pm.

The first explosion took place at 1.40 pm at the crowded raja ram mohan roy junction. People near Madiwala bus stand where the explosion took place, initially mistook it as a transformer failure. But with in minutes it was dawned on them that it was a bomb blast, triggering panic in the entire area. This was followed by a serial blasts at four places in IT corridor -- Koramangala-Sarjapur junction, Madiwala checkpost, Adugodi traffic junction and at Langford road junction in the heart of city and at three places on mysore road - Nayandalli, Kengeri RTO office and opposite Gopalan mall.

The Blasts lead to 8 injuries and a lone victim by name Sudha who was waiting at Malwadi bus stand. Her Husband, Ravi who was with her at that moment had sustained injuries. Muniappa and anbu who were standing opposite National diary Development board also sustained injuries. The bomb here was placed under the tree amidist a few cables. There no big damages caused. Two others who sustained injuries were on bike when the blast at Raja ram mohan roy junction took place, where the bomb was placed in a traffic island.

Petroleum prices are determined to touch the skies

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:50:00 +0000

Today, it was a great evening and i was prepaing for my forth coming engineering exams ( It takes David's braveness and smartness to clear VTU exams). I was tired of reading books and i took a break to chill out. While I was watching Sun TV news, there was a news pictured about petrol. To my surprise I learnt that in Chennai there is shortage of ordinary petrol (whose octane number varies from 80-86) and only performance petrol (Octane number 91) such as xtra premium from Indian Oil, speed from Bharat petroleum and power from Hindustan petroleum are available in the market. And the rumours are that this scenerio will follow up in rest of the country.

Recently there was a fuel hike which had a very big impact on the people. Petrol was hiked by Rs 5 followed by diesel which was hiked by Rs 3 and LPG by Rs 50. There are also rumours that governament has future plans of hiking the petroleum prices by some unknown value. But it is sure that because of the rising crude oil prices almost everyone of us are having many sleepless nights.

This is the perfect time to think for an alternative for our daily transportation before we end up paying Rs 1000 per litre to travel a mere 60km on the most fuel efficient bike or 10km on most fuel efficient car. There are welcome projects that are being carried on by most respected brands from Toyota Prius to hero electric bikes. Mercedes benz in india too is running tests of bio diesel on thier main stream cars such as C-class, E-class and S-class cars. There is also a replacement fuel for petroleum as written in New Scientist. The fuel is called green crude and is developed by Sapphire Energy in San Diego, California. This fuel uses algae, and it is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis by a genetically engineered strain of algae, housed in tanks of treated waste-water and exposed to sunlight. This fuel could be the fuel of the future.

Do Bollywood celebs sell themselves through blog...???

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:48:00 +0000

These days i have come across few blogs which had stunned me. When i read through out the blog i got to know it was a celebrity blog who was trying to communicate to his fans through his blog and know the pros and cons of his performance or to discuss the outcome of the movie. I have heard a news that even our big B (Amitabh Bachchan) has started blog. It is learnt that it is His personal blog. A site run by John Abraham is lauded to be the most stylish blog of all. It has his photograph, comments on his roles and above all a huge fan following. The advent of celebrity Blog was started By Aamir khan known to be a regular blogger. His blog takes his fans through making of his movie, comments about his roles, performance and his film. Now many celebrities in Bollywood are using blog as a powerful tool to market and sell their movies or give publicity and create awareness of their movie among audiences. Film makers Mahesh Batt, Anurag Kashyap have been blogging and bringing together best minds to the industries through blogs.

But on the flip side one doubts the authenticity of the blog which it tells Itself as a celebrity blog which can be started by fans in order to gain more popularity. So i have fairly kept this topic in general rather than mentioning the blog. It has to be seen how far will the dice roll and how well celebrity use this powerful marketing tool (Blog) which has set fire in Internet community and has gained a lot of popularity.

Meta tag - A better way to communicate with search engine

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:10:00 +0000

Meta tags tell a search engine about your site and it's contents
Title (name of what you do or sell not always the name of your site or store)
Description ( a call to action words that make them want to click on your site. Plus what you do or sell)

example Free shipping on all featured knit tops

many colors to choose from. Lowest prices on all designer clothes and hand bags mens and kids section too!.

Keywords (keywords are the main topic of your site or what your sell. these are the words a search engine wiil look at on your site. When a customer types in a word or a few words into their seach box to find what they are looking for. A search engine will take the information it has from every indexed site and return the most relevent site with the highest page rankings for the words typed. example knit tops was the search term the customer typed in. the highest page ranked site for this key word might be wal-mart or k-mart jc penny) you should get the idea.

Robot tags (this tells the search engine how often to come back a look at your site. usually 14 or 15 days. 1 day for a blog) this does not nessarily bring them back but sometimes it does help.)

Author tags ( this is you or your name. sometimes the name of your site)

As was stated eariler in another post these tags are not used as much as they use to be by google

however they are still used by yahoo and many other search engines. it is still a good idea to place them on your site.

Where to place them

You place a meta html code between the head or header section of your site before the body section.

Some afilliate pages do not allow the insertion of meta tags.

some editors have meta tags turned off and you need to turn them on before placing them.

some editors need you to break up the code and place keywords and the description into two diffrent places.

sorry this got so long and I hpoe I have explained everything so that it easy for you to understand.

many sites have a free meta tag generator.

just type it into your search box. google it.

Once their add you information into the boxes provided. Copy the html code then paste it on to your site in the head section.

If you liked the above post or you have additional info about the above post, please feel free to comment and share or discuss woth us.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 May 2008 06:32:00 +0000

How to sell "Your Advertising space" of your BLOG

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:42:00 +0000

ProBlogger:

"
I could write a lot on this (and have actually asked Chad, b5media’s Ad Sales guy to write some posts for me on the topic too) but here are a few tips that come to mind. I hope you don’t mind me compiling them as a list as they’re somewhat random ideas:

1. Show them what they’re buying - one of the most powerful strategies I used in my early days of selling ads to people was to show them how I ranked in Google for their keywords. Compile a list of words that you rank for that you can pull out next time you’re talking to an advertiser. If when people search the web for information on products that they sell they end up on your site you have a key selling point.

2. Traffic is a Powerful Motivator - there’s no getting around it - to many advertisers traffic numbers are key. I hope that this trend is changing (what I saw at ad:Tech in Sydney recently confirms this as advertisers are looking to get more niche in their focus) but in the mean time it does count. Keep working to build traffic and be ready to share your numbers and back them up with graphs/tables etc.

3. Collect Demographics - every ad agency I ever spoke with about buying space on my blogs asked about the demographics of my audience. Do some surveys and collect this data as it’ll help sell your case.

4. Start with Small Advertisers - when I first started trying to sell advertising on my blogs I aimed too high. On my digital camera blog I went for Canon, Adobe etc. Of course I failed. So I decided to go to the opposite extreme and started approaching smaller digital camera stores and websites. The tactic worked - they bought up ad space at reasonable rates quite quickly. In time however traffic grew and the bigger campaigns started to appear - having advertisers already on board helped convince the big guys though.

5. Put together an Advertiser Pack - compile your stats, rates, advertising options (ie what you offer) reader demographics and any other relevant figures into a professional looking document that you can email to interested advertisers. Include your contact details and references from other advertisers if you can get them.

6. Sell the Niche Angle - the fact is that most of us will never compete with the broad publications that are out there - so don’t compete with them by trying to fool advertisers into thinking that you’re bigger than you are - sell the fact that you’re different and that you can reach a narrow and targeted group of people that makes the money an advertiser spends much more effective. ‘Spend $1 on a big site and you might reach a lot of people who are mildly interested in your topic - sell $1 on our site and you’ll reach people who are obsessed with your topic….’

7. Key Influencers - do other bloggers read your blog and pick up on what you write? If so - sell this too. You’ve got influential readers - not just passive ones!

A growing body of evidence is suggesting muscle metabolism may also play a role in the prevention of many chronic diseases, such as type-2 diabetes and osteoporosis. However, research shows current protein recommendations may not go far enough to contribute to healthy muscle development.

Sarcopenia is a condition associated with a loss of muscle mass and strength in older individuals. Prevention of this debilitating disease is especially important to ensure people can continue to live well and independently since loss of muscle can decrease stamina, lessen the ability to perform daily tasks and lead to an increased risk of falls and bone fractures. While there is no single cause, insufficient protein intake may be a key contributor to this condition, which can significantly compromise overall quality of life as we age.

Sunil Gavaskar relinquished as Chairman of ICC

Sunil Gavaskar the former Indian captain and the legendary batsmen today has resigned as International Cricket Council’s (ICC) cricket committee chairman. Gavaskar, who was asked to choose between his media commitments & role as the Chairman of ICC, tendered his resignation on Wednesday, a day after chairing the Cricket Committee meeting which concluded in Mumbai on Tuesday. Gavaskar said with more & more cricket it was not possible for him to do justice with the two jobs.

Gavaskar said in his statement, “I have thoroughly enjoyed the eight years I have held the role (of ICC Cricket Committee Chairman), which is an honorary position & it has been extremely fulfilling to be able to give back to the game through that role. However, with more & more cricket being played it has become clear that it is not possible for me to do justice to two jobs, the chairmanship of the ICC Cricket Committee & my media commitments”

"As an example of that, I had to leave my professional commitments as a commentator on the Indian Premier League matches in order to come and chair this year's meeting in Dubai.

"I envisaged the potential for this sort of issue two years ago and intimated then that I was not able to continue in the role but when I was asked to do so I was honoured to be re-elected.

"Now, however, it is clear I cannot combine both roles and therefore I am relinquishing the chair of the ICC Cricket Committee."

A report said the ICC has decided on this after its executive board meeting in Dubai. Sunil Gavaskar had described cricket playing nations Australia and England as “dinosaurs, still trying to voice their prejudiced opinions in the media, and may not open their eyes and see the reality”. Gavaskar’s comments came in a syndicated column.This had reportedly infuriated the ICC. Sunil Gavaskar was commenting on India’s controversial Sydney Test’s match referee Mike Procter, following the latter’s ruling against Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh. Andrew Symonds had alleged that Harbhajan Singh had racially abused him. Mike Procter’s ruling against Harbjhajan Singh was , however, dismissed by the appeals commisioner.

ICC's acting Chief Executive Officer David Richards said: "We are indebted to the work Sunil has put into his role as Chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee. "He has brought his vast experience of the game to bear, not only over the eight years of his chairmanship but also the six years prior to that, when he was a delegate on the same committee. "Having someone of Sunil's stature involved has to be of benefit to the game and given the ICC's lengthy relationship with him we hope we can still utilize his knowledge in some other capacity in the future."

In(novate)side ADSENSE

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:27:00 +0000

Google is known for its continuous innovative products and launches to makes publisher and user experience more enjoyable AdSense for search is now powered by Custom Search. If you've used Custom Search Engine (CSE) before, you know that Custom Search offers advanced customization options to help improve the accuracy of your search results and tailor them to what users are looking for. With the integration of Custom Search into AdSense for search, you can take advantage of CSE's most popular features without having to leave your AdSense account.

Here are some of the new features:

* Site Search: You've worked hard to attract users to your site, so it's understandable that you'd be concerned about those users leaving through web search. Now you can choose to provide just site search so users can find all the information they're looking for on your site, and you can host the search results on your own pages so
that they can find that information without leaving your site.

* Improved indexing of your pages: We've recently improved our indexing technology so that you can provide a more enhanced Site Search experience for your users. AdSense for search will now index
even more pages of your site, as long as we're able to crawl them, so that your users will see more results from your site in your AdSense for search results. Stay tuned for more updates on future crawl and
indexing improvements!

* Vertical search: You can also allow your users to search across multiple sites - this could be a network of sites that you own or other related sites that you think your users might find useful. If you write book reviews on your blog, for example, you can use vertical search to specify a list of online bookstores for users to search through. Other examples of vertical searches include computer forums, travel blogs, political sites you endorse, etc.

* Tuning search results and ads with keywords: Search terms can have different meanings in different contexts, so you can now configure your search engine with relevant keywords. Let's say you manage a site about yoga - you can enter keywords such as 'yoga,' 'exercise,' and 'meditation' so that when a user searches for 'mat,' the search results and ads will be more related to yoga mats and less to commercial floor mats. (You can see an example of this in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEwxC9hrxM4 ). In experiments, we've found that this tuning has led to an increase in earnings for publishers.

* Selecting ad location: Do you want ads to appear at the top and bottom of your search results? Or along the right sidebar as well, just like on Google.com? Now you can make the call on where ads are placed. (Here's a tip: we've found that placing ads at the top and right monetizes the best for publishers.)

* Quick and easy updates: Just as you use our ad management feature to quickly change the settings for your ad and referral units, you'll be able to do the same for your search engine within your AdSense account. Your settings will be saved in your account, so you won't need to generate new search code for each change.

We recommend getting started with the features above by visiting your AdSense Setup tab and selecting 'AdSense for Search' as your product. Once you've set up your search box, you may wish to explore more advanced features such as site exclusion, labels, and collaboration.
