The Industry Recognizes In Heat Pump Technology

By Italian Technology NewsNo Comments

“With heat pumps we can”, “With heat pumps can” claim is that emphasised, in two days of EHPA Forum held in Milan, the confidence that the industry recognizes in heat pump technology, essential for the achievement of the objectives of Europe to 2020. A trust that is reflected on the market, since all European markets are developing.

The message of 5° Forum EHPA (European Heat Pump Association) was clear: the technology is ripe; the industry is ready. Since the heat pump technology capable of producing at the same time heating and cooling, and heating and cooling account for 40% of final energy consumption in Europe, it is clear that the use of heat pumps can significantly reduce this quota.

Europe needs to focus more on heating and cooling to achieve EU 2020 goals of energy saving and emission reduction of greenhouse gases. And the heat pump technology is perfectly suited to these needs because it picks up the free and unlimited stored heat into the air, water and soil for heating and cooling environments, integrates a larger share of electricity from renewable energy sources into the power grid and lowers the ensuing demand for energy from non-renewable sources.

At the same time, the use of heat pumps reduces greenhouse gas emissions and provides energy locally available sustainable cost, reducing dependence on imports of fossil fuels. In addition, heat pumps keep the technical know-how in Europe and provide local jobs. In short, heat pumps, contribute to a sustainable energy future.

Because the technology is strongly influenced by European legislation, both current and future, the update was provided on the status of the principal laws and directives, such as the Energy-using Products Directive (EuP) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). Were also addressed the issues of structural conditions under which technology is sold, the stakeholder communication, quality-related aspects and the education and training of installers.

Industry experts, stakeholders and Government officials have shown great interest in this Conference. The European Heat Pump Association has organized this event in conjunction with its annual General Assembly. SOUL/co. Aer has provided its support for the local coordination of the event.

The Brazilian investments in research and development should jump from 1.2% to 1.8% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2015, said on Wednesday (9) the Minister of science, technology and innovation, Marco Antonio Raupp, in a public hearing of the Commission of science, technology, innovation, communication and Informatics (CCT). And half of the future percentage, according to the detailed the Minister, should be sourced from private investment.

During the hearing, chaired by Senator Walter Pinheiro (PT-BA), he said that until today more than 80% of investments in science and technology in Brazil are made by public authorities. In Japan, compared, private companies investing in innovation, five times more than the Government.

In order to achieve the ambitious targets “of the country in relation to the sector, the Minister emphasized the need to obtain the support of society. He also highlighted important measures such as training of human resources, the strengthening of the structure of laboratories of research institutes, the improvement of the legal framework on Science, technology and innovation and the search for new funding mechanisms.

-Our challenge is to transform the science, technology and innovation in Brazilian development protagonists example of all Nations with a high level of development. We are living a special moment, where there are recognition of important sectors of society in relation to the role that science and technology have to play – Raupp said.

In his talk to the senators, the Minister said that Brazil needs to “dramatically increase” human resources training. He noted that while China form 680 thousand engineers a year, Brazil only 40 thousand way. Stressed the need for ongoing investments for research infrastructure in all regions of the country.  

Marco Antonio Raupp called “real revolution” Science without borders program, an initiative of President Dilma Rousseff, who should send abroad 101 thousand Brazilians until 2014 – of which 75 thousand with public resources and 26 thousand financed by the private sector. When replying to a question from Senator Valdir Raupp (PMDB-RO), worried about the possibility of not returning to Brazil fellows, the Minister said that the Government is preparing to allocate researchers in companies or research institutes.

The Minister recalled that is handled in a National Congress establishing new legal framework project for the sector. He considered it important to set specific rules for public-private partnerships in science, technology and innovation, that take into account the “risks” to the research activity.

The Minister of science and technology also asked that a portion of the royalties to be obtained with the exploitation of oil reserves on pre-salt layer are intended for education and to science and technology. To agree with Marco Antonio Raupp, Senator Luiz Henrique (PMDB-SC) asked the Member States also to dedicate part of its royalty payments for investments in scientific and technological research.

During the debate, Senator Sergio Souza (PMDB-PR) praised the performance of Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa) and the Brazilian Government’s initiative of establishing an institution similar to investments in industry. Senator Eduardo Lopes (PRB-RJ) advocated the adoption of investment in research for the development of fisheries in the country. And Senator Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF) underscored the need for investment in research that stimulate industrial production and prevent the Brazil remains only as an exporter of commodities.

Candidates for the Presidency of the Republic are playing the theme of science and technology in their campaigns, this is new, but should go further and be convinced to invest in this area to make Mexico a successful country, said Arturo Menchaca Rocha, President of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) at a meeting with the press.

Menchaca welcomed have contributed, with a document delivered to the press a few months ago and directed to the candidates, to include topics science and technology on the political agenda, although he regretted that it has not done it more case in the administration of Felipe Calderón, which only met once in the six years to the General Council of scientific research and technological development and innovationwhich by law should convene at least twice a year.

Menchaca stressed that you one of the three branches of the nation since defined his intention to create a secretariat of science and technology, however, “I think that all of us understand that the legislature may make the proposal, but it requires the will of the Executive for suceda…” But it is the water that sounds. “I find everything as good signs,” he said.

Physicist, acknowledging that he had to read and much advise for the years political and administrative functions at the head of the AMC, which was playing the first stopover was calling attention to the sector.

“Now you have to give it content.” It should be a plan and a State policy that is not a piece of paper of nine pages (as it was the document for candidates), it has to be something integrated. “You have to see how influence in the science, the technology economy, health, social development and all items of Government”.

Interview with Hanns-Ulrich Hasse, Managing Director of SkySails GmbH:

Mr Hasse arrives in as the SkySail technique on the market?

Basically, we have a strong interest. The existing market structures in general but a challenge for the introduction of innovative technologies: usually pays the charterer, the ship uses often only for a short time, the fuel. The ship is part of the shipowner but and he has to pay for the consumption-reducing technology. A mode between shipowner and charterer must be found so, allowing a fair distribution of benefits. This is still not a standard in the market.

How many ships are already travelling on the sail?

Equipped with 4 – 5 systems are sold.

What’s new for the next generation product SKS C 320? Drive already ships thus?

The latest generation of products has the dual power. Good wind the SkySails drive SKS can replace C 320 up to 2 000kW of the main engine. A Testsyst em of this type has been installed as a development platform on the “BBC SkySails”, the first system of this series is installed on the 28 500tdw bulker “Agia Marina” at the end of the year.

Does the SkySails GmbH already profitable?

We expect a positive outcome from 2013 onwards.

The switch from heavy fuel oil to marine diesel by 2020 provides shipping companies facing challenges: this process has already spread to the shops of SkySails?

Since this decision, it is to note that the shipping companies look for solutions. Due to the currently economically difficult situation of shipping, but still quite cautious is invested in green-ship technologies.

SkySails founded in 2001: why does it take so long that prevails the technique? What possible reservations have shipping companies?

To develop a technology, should capital be raised initially. Then, the technology development – were numerous technological challenges to solve in which in our case is carried out. All costs of course time. 2008, we could test the first two prototypes of our system on 2 cargo ships. Since then, we have developed our technology on the basis of the results of practice and improved. Anyway – the wind in the shipping industry again to use represents a small revolution powered in this conservative industry. Even though shipping on wind powered will come sooner or later not over this change from overnight will happen.

Helge Rehbein asked the questions.

A New Technology As A System

By Spanish Technology NewsNo Comments

MADRID, 07 (SERVIMEDIA)

The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) researchers have developed ‘Liliac’, a new technology as a system of document security and authentication products and brands, as reported by the institution.

Four years of research have led to the development of a new technology with which you can create devices of security and authentication with the ability to be inserted in any type of product, from the blister of a drug to a luxury bag, passing by the shirt of a football team, adapting to its design and structure.

‘Liliac’ prepresenta a new technology which consists of a sheet of plastic, flexible and thin, which is transparent to natural light, but containing multiple images latent on both sides of a single device. These images are totally different and individually visible with the help of polarized light, as the emitted by the screen of a mobile phone, a computer monitor or an LCD TV.

Facing the polarized light source device are observed the different images that are changing as we turn. If becomes the device so that the other side is which is confronted with the source of polarized light in question, you will see another completely different set of images.

With this technology you can create devices of security and authentication to adapt to any type of application, with simple designs or even photographic resolution. You can generate any type of image in the color desired and encapsulate the device in the most appropriate support for the application which is intended, by adapting its texture or its form.

A New Technology

By French Technology NewsNo Comments

The Disney Corporation is not necessarily that are associated with the most new technologies. Of course, the feature films of the mark require substantial deployments of hardware and sharp know-how for which is in post-production. Yet these areas remain in its field of activities. Disney has several research laboratories that are not working yet on themes in relation to its traditional activities. The company provides a proof in the video (in English) that you will find at the end of article.

Disney Research, based in Pittsburgh to the Canada, has just lifted the veil on a new technology called “Affected” (in French in the text), and promises for the shot to be truly revolutionary. The technology actually uses electrodes to capacitive movements of the hands on the surface of materials. One would think first that only the screens are concerned, but affected goes much further. It is indeed compatible with all types of materials, whether they are metal, plastic, or even liquid! Objects which are equipped with this technology, such as a table, a door handle, a jar of water, etc. become able to analyze several types of tactile interaction. The most incredible and even a human body can be affected.

The applications described in the video presentation leave clearly dreamers since it will be possible to control the interface of a device only with simple movements, several fingers. The most striking example is one that shows a user Commander the functions of its musical drive simply by performing a few actions predefined on the surface of his body. Potentially, this technology is that terms that may totally replace the men-machines interfaces such as we know them today. By 2020, it is almost certain that cars will always steal not. However, it is more forbidden to dream of flying his smartphone without even the touch… with Disney’s affected.
