Advantages of hydrogen fuel cell car in China

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Hydrogen fuel cell cars in China R & D has an advantage: the technology gap slightly, the cost is only foreign 1 / 10

Although the prospect of hydrogen fuel cells more light, but, Shanghai climbing industry, general manager of Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Tian Bing Lun, general manager of the new source for Hu Jun understand that only by constantly reducing the cost of hydrogen fuel cells, raising skill levels so, like with traditional energy storage battery, or better price and performance, the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cells as early as possible the day will come when the chance to win in the market.

Tian Bing Lun told reporters, on the one hand to reduce costs, to promote the localization of raw materials, on the other hand, if the over-reliance on raw materials, others, fate also rests in the hands of others. It is understood that many companies pulled out before the industry is because both use the same suppliers of raw materials, when the supplier “dead” time, other companies are also “inflexible” VW-VBG260 VW-VBG6 .

At present, many raw materials come from overseas. “DuPont’s membrane after orders to wait 60 working days, which is about 3 months to be delivered, but my clients usually give me the time is two to three months. So part of my development and production of key raw materials flexibility can be much higher. “Tian told reporters London C, in addition to delivery times, flexibility in design modifications will therefore improve.

Hu Jun is also working through the development of domestic raw materials to lower costs. According to reports, the domestic development of hydrogen fuel cell car cost 200 million yuan, nearly 20 million yuan and foreign, although the domestic development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology level slightly lower, but obviously further away from commercialization. In fact, compared with the big gap between investment and foreign technology gap exists only weak. “To Ballard, for example, they do high-end test equipment company with nearly 20 units, while we have only one test device, which means you can not simultaneously carry out several experiments, not at the same time to see more results.” Hu Jun said.

However, Hu Jun from Ballard who see hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to do a scale can not be done on too large, to grasp the rhythm of good management, we are unable to spend all that money.

“Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology line advantages are quite obvious, many people favored, but the road ahead is not smooth, we have many way to go.” Tian C. Lun said sony-vgp-bps15b-battery-p-68672.html”>VGP-BPS15/B .

The development of new energy vehicles in China

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Recently, led by the Ministry of Industry and the development of “energy saving and new energy vehicle development plan (2011-2020)” (hereinafter “Plan”) has been completed to the relevant ministries are consulted. If all goes well, will be finalized and submitted to the State Council this month approved a new energy automotive industry leading the development of China’s major policies. The “planning” set out in detail China’s energy saving and new energy vehicle development goals and a range of support methods Canon charger Casio charger .

     According to “planning”, pure electric vehicles will become an important strategic transformation of the automotive industry direction. China will eventually plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles industrialization; the same time will speed up the development of fuel cell vehicle technology. This new energy vehicles before the subsidy program focused on the electric car is the same. “Planning” sets out in detail the energy-saving and new energy vehicles in China’s development goals, that by 2020, industrialization of new energy vehicles, and market size to meet global No. 1, Qi Zhong new energy vehicles (plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric cars , hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, etc.) to maintain capacity to 5 million; to hybrid vehicles as the representative of the fuel-efficient vehicles sold in the world, annual sales reached 15 million.

 “Planning” project in 2015, the average passenger car fuel consumption level of 35% compared with 2008, decreased to 5.9 l / 100 km. 2020, passenger car average fuel consumption of 4.5 liters / 100 km. It is learned that this goal has been higher than the United States, and demanding the European Union at the same level. At present, for we can only hear in the news, BYD electric vehicle, the 2020 seems like only a dream, but how far this dream, who do not know, in my opinion, the most be considered a vision.

 

Meanwhile, the “planning” also recommends the purchase of energy-saving and new energy vehicles in the consumer, reduction of vehicle purchase tax and consumption tax. As in 2015, registered for the new plug-in electric cars and hybrid vehicles consumers, travel tax exemption; for the purchase of ordinary consumer hybrid vehicles, half of travel tax collection. For related car companies, such as the inclusion of “national priority areas to support high-tech” enterprises and key parts of the vehicle business, the high-tech enterprises will enjoy the state income tax incentivescharger  .

 

Such a fantasy-style planning is inevitably associated with many problems, from traditional cars to initially popularize the electric car needs a very long process, in this process, the traditional power will remain the ruler, while the hybrid technology will play a key role. Automobile manufacturers, who now ignore the traditional power in the new energy technology will come to be out before the first year, and who account for the advantages of hybrid technology, whoever the next era of power-driven continues to lead. Electric car has never been something new, even more than gasoline cars appeared much earlier, Nissan introduced as early as 1947 had electric cars, and now we rush to carry out his electric car ran, in my view, not in the electric vehicle technology What has made breakthroughs in the field, but this new energy industry development in other frustrated after continuously forced to re-back picked up the electric car, which was once a death sentence a “garbage.”

 

This is shocking and unexpected look at the data, “hybrid cars in China after years of selling 15 million years!” In 2009, in the end we can calculate a few more to sell hybrid cars, sales of BYD F3DM not hundreds, Toyota Prius sold only 271, Honda Civic hybrid plan in 2009 only 300 units. I can not imagine, years after the hybrid model can achieve 15 million in China’s breakthrough.

 

Industrialization of new energy vehicles first in the world, also need to have the industry base. A few years ago, we have proudly announced the new energy field, we and abroad on the same starting line; recently, the leadership of the Ministry of Industry and admitted frankly, electric cars and the gap is only 5 years abroad. Turning to the planning, appropriate forward naturally, but if the only fantasy, it lost its meaning Sanyo battery sony battery .

 

July 30 this year, BYD BYD in Shenzhen with Daimler company held Pingshanyou base, “New Technology Co., Ltd. Shenzhen BYD Daimler” listing ceremony. From May to sign a formal joint venture agreement to be approved, only a few months time, relevant departments on access to national approval, which is rare. “The first one is innovation factors, the most critical is the production of new energy vehicles, if not a new car-based energy can not be so quick approval of.” BYD to relevant sources.

 

It is reported that the joint venture development of a new generation of electric cars will incorporate Mercedes - Benz in the field of electric vehicle structure and safety of the proprietary technology and BYD Auto battery and drive technology. BYD iron battery technology is the world’s new energy vehicles in the field of the highest technology with “high security” and “high discharge capacity”, “low cost”, “long life”, “green” features, is now supporting iron battery dual-mode electric vehicle in F3DM and e6 electric car, the performance is excellent.

 

Although the plan is doubtful, but we seem to realize some of the information from the planning. China’s new energy become bigger and stronger automotive industry, seems to have with our own brand are inextricably linked. Joint venture brands of electric cars over the development cycle, development of electric vehicles over the joint venture brand node difficult to change 10 years after the concept car, we can only wait and see Ricoh battery Samsung battery .

Li Ka-shing to enter the lithium batteries

Monday, August 9th, 2010

BYD in Hong Kong stock market to create the myth, the myth of the other lithium batteries continue to be staged in Hong Kong stocks. Recently, GAIN Capital Holdings issued a notice to the total cost of 2.75 billion Hong Kong dollars, the U nionG raceH oldings Lim ited and its subsidiaries in the Poly Lei days (Hong Kong) into the bag, entered the field of lithium batteries. In addition, GAIN Capital Holdings Chairman Li Ka-shing will be long and the Department of discount of 18.9% placing 400 million shares of stock.

GAIN shares soared 10-fold two months

GAIN Capital Holdings acquisition purpose is very clear, is to enter the lithium business. Union Grace Holdings Limited registered in the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong upstart — Lithium Poly Lei Zhong Xin Jia-day boss and Awkward all.

    As Hong Kong stocks most recent dark horse, had only a modest GAIN Capital Group, the “ugly duckling.” GAIN Capital Group since 1991 at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Main Board, the main business of providing securities investment services. Before December 1 last year, the company’s share price has been hovering around 0.1 Hong Kong dollars. December 1 last year, the GAIN Capital Group stock began to soar to 22 December, stock suspension, stock price has risen to 0.265 Hong Kong dollars nikon EN-EL4 charger , nikon EN-EL4a charger .

Last year on December 22, GAIN Capital Group announced it would acquire the company Poly Lei days yttrium lithium batteries used in transportation operations, the acquisition cost of 2.75 billion Hong Kong dollars expected. By this positive promotion on December 23 GAIN Capital Group, after resumption of trading, the stock continued all the way up. January 15 this year, GAIN Capital Group announced major issues there, and once again suspended, this time the company’s share price has reached 0.9 Hong Kong dollars. GAIN then announced that the acquisition will be 2.75 billion Hong Kong dollars in the entire equity interest in Poly Lei days. In addition, GAIN has also announced a strategic investor in Chinese richest man Li Ka-shing, the Hong Kong dollar 292 million investment was 400 million shares placement. January 26, GAIN Capital Holdings resume trading, rose 62 percent to 1.46 Hong Kong dollars. Two months, GAIN Capital Holdings shot up 10 times.

Zhongxinjianai protagonist behind the scenes

GAIN Capital Holdings share price soaring to promote, is the Poly Lei business days of lithium batteries. Poly Lei days in actual control of the smoke were nearly two years, Jia Xin Zhong lithium favorites.

Zhong Xin Jia said that she is from a Chinese family, also filmed the movie “Ghost Story.” 80’s of last century, the switch of power energy. However, despite the clock Xin Jia of lithium known to break the monopoly of the technology in Japan, and received many patents, and its electric car project also pulled to the huge investment, but the lithium battery industry Zhong Jia Xin Technology voices of doubt has been constantly even view bell Jia Xin is the adoption of “Fudge” misappropriating. August 2009, Chung Jia Xin invest 33 billion yuan in Tangshan Caofeidian electric cars start the project, followed by thunder days, 2.5 billion investment in the construction of Chizhou Park, together with earlier before the end of 2008 7.0 billion investment in the Changchun Battery Park Building The accumulated investment in new energy on more than 40 billion, gained fame overnight hp Pavilion dm1 batteryPavilion dm3 battery .

Although the investment in the Mainland can be said to blossom everywhere, but so far most are in early development, production still from a longer distance. Zhong Xin Jia is still facing a huge burden of proof pressure.

“Superman” Li Ka-shing help out

The buyout market, why cause great concern, there is a reason for this is “Superman” Li Ka-shing’s help out.

GAIN Capital Holdings The total acquisition cost of 27.5 billion. Where 1 billion in cash; 150 million new shares issued by the Hong Kong dollar payment; 2.49 billion Hong Kong dollars to release 8-year zero-coupon convertible bonds pay. Concern is also the Li Ka Shing Holdings GAIN allotment discount of 18.9% placing 400 million shares of stock, raising 292 million Hong Kong dollars. That is, GAIN Capital Holdings acquisition used 100 million yuan in cash, will be borne by the Li Ka Shing “provide”, in addition, GAIN Capital Holdings also received the remaining 192 million Hong Kong dollars in cash used to pay the construction of the battery production facility construction costs and complement the company liquidity.

GAIN Capital Holdings Li Ka-shing shares move into the electric car market, not help people with Buffett BYD potential link. Shun Feng Xiang Financial Securities researcher, said the future of electric cars and lithium battery market, a huge imagination is big brothers have raised the capital to participate the main reason Pavilion dv3 battery , Pavilion dv2 battery .

Hangzhou haven’t subsidize new energy vehicles

Charging station is not practical?

June 30, by the Power Authority is responsible for the construction of Hangzhou, the ancient Tsui Road, full-function electric vehicles, large-for-power stations, the official acceptance by the State Grid Corporation and put into operation, this is the first seven Hangzhou electric vehicle charging (for) power station is fully functional for the largest power station. According to local media reports, the vehicle for station configuration 24 kilowatts DC charging machine 4, the exchange charge pile of 25, 2.4 kilowatts battery charger module 200, maximum service capacity of up to 500, can fast charge, slow charge , quick-change charge of three ways to adapt to different types of users VGP-BPS15/B VGP-BPL15/B  .

In addition to charging, the station also offers battery replacement service: the owner for electric car into the station, staff will unload the car about to run out of battery and replace the battery has been fully charged .

However, in this special car charging stations in downtown found that, although full of parked vehicles, but which only two are pure electric cars, and no one is in charge. Staff revealed that the charging station just unveiled, in fact, did not put into actual operation. Hangzhou taxi drivers were more than that, never heard of charging stations which truly opening up the road and rarely see the electric car.

Local media said the Power Authority planned years in Hangzhou in urban areas for construction of a large power station, five small and medium sized power stations, 50-100 battery replacement service outlets, 130 charge pile. Next year will build 25 to 30 cradle (replacement) power plant to meet power demands of 20,000 electric vehicles  ThinkPad T400s battery  .

For this grand plan, Li Ziqiang offered his comments: most of the vehicles are parked in residential area open recommended authorities charge more than the construction of piles in the parking lot to facilitate in situ charging electric vehicles. “I think it is not practical charging station, who will wait until the car go fast but no power of re-charging station, and then spend several hours to a car charging it?”

Netease survey found that car in Hangzhou, the local electric bike has been very popular man in the street everywhere and charging facilities maintenance point. If the charging of electric vehicles can be such a popular post, I believe Li Ziqiang do not have to worry about charging problem Latitude 2100 battery hp-envy-13-battery-p-73480.html”>Envy 13 battery

The quality of HP laptop battery from the warranty

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

If a company offers quality and 3 months, six months, one year HP HP notebook batteries or other types of laptop batteries, notebook batteries, such as Samsung SAMSUNG X10, then you will not find the vendor to buy your beloved laptop battery. Because, to do three months or six months of product warranty and one year product warranty to do the entire procurement, quality control, process is a big difference, and it plainly, the warranty for three months or six months of battery power very likely core is refurbished. High-middle and low are doing their own boss, HP battery mentality, quality view is there is a big problem, you can find such a company to trade?!

A price of a goods in shopping malls will never change the law!

Electric car maker focused stimulus

Friday, July 30th, 2010

According to foreign media recently reported that, as climate legislation in Congress seem to have passed, many clean energy advocates are trying to start again. However, the federal government rely on other incentives and stimulating progress electric vehicle industry is still happy to keep a positive attitude.

 

Officials within the automotive industry in the past within two days just outside Detroit, to meet to discuss the status of the development of industry growth: Does the United States to produce sufficient amount of battery to a low enough price to compete in the global and so on. Michigan, Michigan have a lot of the early investment in a battery manufacturing plant and began to start building electric cars supply chain VW-VBG260 VW-VBG6 .

 

During the meeting the participants agreed that the federal government’s investment in just two years has been built within a considerable number of manufacturing and research units. Next, you need to do anything in the estimation of the time, they expressed the need for more such investment, rather than the carbon price.

 

Zai a recorded video speech, Michigan government officials, Jennifer Granholm (D) said that “We need help from Congress.” Is updated as tax cuts and clean energy manufacturing tax incentives to make hybrid car an even cheap buy for consumers. She did not mention climate change or energy of the legislation.

 

Of course, the electric car industry has never made any climate legislation to promote the collective. This may be because the climate bill is unlikely to lead through their own strength electric car industry off and break BN-VF823 VW-VBG130 .

 

Some of the economic range of the prototype Jianyi in the proposal price of carbon in the gasoline price increases only for a fraction of the money, and Guang Fan De Kaolvqueshao need for what the cost Gaibianranliao East and West Regions.

 

The price difference is really up to bring the electric economy may be very necessary. This week two, General Motors Corporation General Motors Co. That’s Chevrolet Chevy Volt car will cost 41,000 U.S. dollars and will debut this November.

 

Carbon price for car sales is no material impact

 

For truck drivers of hybrid electric power and environmental organizations, the United States, senior vice president of CALSTART Bill Van Amburg said that “in a short time, they may not have as much as we want drivers who Huoshishouyi.” He also said This week some of the carbon market, the three trade about 3 U.S. dollars per tonne prices, which affect the price of fuel is almost insignificant. “It’s really cause for transportation also can not have much impact.” He added BN-VF808 BN-VF815 .

 

Van Amburg said that even if the price of about 30-40 U.S. dollars may also lack some of the more expensive repairs within the transport sector business. He pointed out that when oil prices in 2008, when the disruptive way up, then indeed caused many drivers and truck drivers pay attention — they all begin to pay attention to their driving, and driving their vehicles.

 

He also noted that “I have encouraged many companies when they see these, do not focus their business around the carbon price. Just need to have as a business case you are engaged in additional conditions. To really focus attention provide something to you, then if you get from the carbon reduction Zhong additional revenue for, then this is good. Danshi Tabukeneng Wanquan subvert the market, Bing Qie Suo You have to take Ye is the Women’s 担忧. ”

 

Those in the industry and the people of Michigan feel better for the manufacturing industry. Since the state is estimated that since 2008, the battery-related public and private investment reached almost 60 billion U.S. dollars, and 16, where the battery business to engage in the project. Officials joked that the state has become “the world capital of the batteries BN-VF707 BN-VF714 BN-VF733 .”

 

At the same time, the White House has already approved loans for the U.S. battery industry to reduce the amount of which may in future years to reduce the time the price of the battery, which also like to thank the investment size (ClimateWire, 7 15).

 

Some of that investment will help General Motors plans of the company within the next few months to introduce a semi-electric vehicles. The Volt’s 40-mile driving range of automotive batteries will be manufactured in Michigan.

 

A General Motors spokesman said that the price will be promoting the irreplaceable carbon fuel vehicles, and said General Motors officially support this policy, but whether he thought the commercial for the Volt car booming it is necessary also in dispute.

 

In an e-mail, Greg Martin of General Motors Corporation, said, “policy makers to accelerate adoption of some of their market acceptance of these vehicles as a broader energy policy, energy policy as part of Zhezhong can send one kind of Shi Chang / economic signals so that fuel economy has become more important. then the carbon price to be part of such a policy? Yes. while there can be a part of the consumer tax incentives NP-FC10 NP-FC11 . ”

 

From the ‘capital of the world’s batteries’ cautious optimism

 

Meeting in the Detroit area, the general consensus is that the industry kick started, so now want to determine the whole industry is there for the car market there.

 

Even if the battery becomes more expensive, they still warned that if no one investor to purchase such vehicles will become a bad temper.

 

Boston Boston’s battery manufacturer A123Systems has received from government assistance to help hundreds of Livonia Livonia in the U.S. to build a new factory. The company’s government to solve the program’s general manager Les Alexander stated, the federal Government spent Zhizao and Yan Jiu effect on the Huafeiqueshi helpful, but “if we do not Zhengzai manufacture cars, Huo Zhe Xiao Feizhe Goumainazhong cars, then there a risk that the industry may disappear EN-EL3e NP-BG1 . ”

 

Alexander’s job is to convince the federal government became the first electric driving the market, such as like the United States Postal Service US Postal Service and other government operations.

 

The US Army U.S. Army also sent the meeting a number of representatives it has about 400 000 — cars, while leaders have already begun to promote to the battlefield use of electric vehicles.

 

Even so, there are other people who asked in a more considerate in the implementation of incentive measures to promote the development of electric vehicles because they have things are on the roads of the vast majority of hundreds of millions of vehicles.

 

This week the 2nd Nissan has announced its full range of 100 miles driving electric cars by Phone Wind Leaf will be in December this year in the United States, California, California, Washington, Washington, Oregon, Oregon, Arizona, Arizona and Tennessee, Tennessee debut. And Cikuan car before next year’s April 9 in other states as well as Washington, DC Washington, DC offline; which cars will fall in 2011 in the United States across the country can be LP-E6 LP-E8 EN-EL3 .

 

Meanwhile the United States Senate Majority Leader Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has provided more encouraging is that when these cars on the road when there will be more gas stations waiting for them. Has just released his latest version of the reduction of the energy bill, Reid included the “electrification deployment of community” (”electrification deployment communities”) or more to help towns and cities need to be able to promote the development of the infrastructure used to convince people pioneering electric cars do not return as difficult as some imagine.

 

American Electric Vehicle Alliance Electrification Coalition President Robbie Diamond said that the Bill if passed, will ensure that electric vehicles will exceed the early users of technology success.

Lithium battery materials, the depth of the future

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The next 5-10 years electric cars will gradually mature, and thus become the killer application of lithium batteries. Lithium batteries as a core component, the industry size will grow more than a hundredfold. Our lithium battery materials industry to “overweight” rating, the proposed robust investor, optimal electrolyte; active investor, optimal membrane. We Recommend Fosugufen, the new state-chou, Jiangsu Guotai, when l Technology

 

The promotion of electric vehicles will drive demand for lithium battery materials explosive growth. To stimulate the economy and energy as an effective means of reducing emissions, electric cars become the focus of policy support to Governments, lithium battery electric vehicles will become the mainstream .

VW-VBG130 VW-VBG260

Integrated technology, product profitability and demand growth, we are all sub-sectors as following: the technical maturity to consider the electrolyte> lithium iron phosphate = lithium hexafluorophosphate> diaphragm; from the product yield into account, divide> hexafluorophosphate Lithium> Lithium Iron Phosphate> electrolyte; rising demand from the battery room for growth into account, lithium iron phosphate> divide> = lithium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte.

 

Lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials still account for most of the market share, but growth rate will gradually decline. The field of traditional lithium batteries, lithium manganese oxide and ternary materials will have more development space, and power batteries primarily for the development of the domestic lithium iron phosphate-based. At present the main difficulty lies in lithium iron phosphate to improve product consistency VW-VBG6 .

 

Electrolyte to the electrolyte purity lithium hexafluorophosphate is highly demanding, so free acid and impurities control the production of lithium hexafluorophosphate key experience with fluorine chemical enterprises have certain advantages. At present the domestic market mainly of the few Japanese companies monopoly, Jiangsu Guotai and Fluoride in progress test is expected to achieve a breakthrough. The technical core of lithium electrolyte formula, the relatively low barriers to entry, the main challenge the company’s technical service capabilities.

 

Membrane is the highest lithium battery materials, technical barriers samsung IA-BP85ST battery hp-pavilion-dm3-battery-p-69446.html”>Pavilion dm3 battery , the highest profits. At present, only four to produce ordinary lithium battery separator, as much as 80% of import dependence, while the dry process production of battery separator, China can not achieve domestically.

Apple’s Magic Trackpad

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Early Tuesday, Apple announced the Magic Trackpad, the company’s new standalone, Bluetooth trackpad. Using the same glass surface as the trackpad on Apple’s current laptop line, the Magic Trackpad supports the same Multi-Touch gestures, bringing Apple’s Multi-Touch technology to any Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.4 or later. (Sorry, the Magic Trackpad doesn’t work with the iPad.) After taking some photos of the Magic Trackpad, we’ve spent the day using it, and here’s our first in-depth look.

Designed to complement Apple’s Wireless Keyboard, the Magic Trackpad uses the same aluminum-body design–and is almost the exact same height, depth, and inclination–as the Wireless Keyboard. (The trackpad is ever-so-slightly deeper from front to back.) As with the Wireless Keyboard, the back edge is raised about half an inch to accommodate a cylindrical battery compartment that holds two AA batteries A1079  A1078 . You’ll also find the same power button (on the left-hand side) and screw-shut battery-compartment cover (on the right-hand side). Rubber feet on the bottom of the trackpad keep it from sliding around your desk.

The Magic Trackpad also fits well with non-wireless Apple Keyboards: The thicknesses and inclinations are nearly identical, so when you align the front edge of the trackpad with either of Apple’s wired keyboards, the top surfaces align almost perfectly (although the trackpad’s battery compartment extends beyond the rear edge of the wired keyboard).

Apple claims the Magic Trackpad is nearly 80 percent larger than the largest MacBook Pro 15″  trackpad–the largest trackpad the company has ever made–but doesn’t provide actual dimensions. The actual trackpad surface is roughly 5.2 inches wide by 4.3 inches deep; the entire device, including the battery compartment, is 5.2 inches deep.

My favorite Magic Trackpad design feature? While the Magic Trackpad may not appear to support physical “clicking,” it indeed does: The two nubby, rubber feet on the bottom, along the front edge, actually have buttons built into them. When you press down on the trackpad surface, the feet “click,” giving you the same tactile sensation as you get with Apple’s current MacBook trackpads. Very clever,  and a welcome Apple touch–no pun intended–for those who hate touch-tapping.

The Magic Trackpad requires the Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update, available via Software Update or direct download, for full functionality. The download is just shy of 80MB and requires a restart of your Mac. (In my testing, the update didn’t appear in Software Update for desktop Macs unless the Magic Trackpad was already paired.) Without this update, the trackpad will pair with your Mac, but will act as a single-button input device with no gesture support.

After pairing the Magic Trackpad with your Mac–it works with both desktop and laptop Macs–and installing the required software update, you configure the trackpad’s gestures just as you would on a MacBook–using the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, which also displays the Magic Trackpad’s Apple battery  level. For most gestures, your choices are simply whether or not the gesture is enabled, although a few give you more options. For example, you can choose whether or not to use one of the trackpad’s bottom corners as a right-click, and if so, which corner.

The available gestures–helpfully displayed on the back of the Magic Trackpad’s box–are identical to those you can use on a MacBook: besides moving the cursor, you can click, right-click, double-click, click-drag, two-finger scroll, two-finger rotate, two-finger pinch and zoom, two-finger screen zoom, three-finger swipe, and four-finger swipe.

The new trackpad software also adds a couple new gesture options, both to the Magic Trackpad and to most recent Apple laptops. You can now opt for scrolling with inertia, and the three-finger gesture, which previously could be used only to navigate–to turn pages, flip through photos, or switch Safari tabs, for example–can now instead be used as a substitute for click-drag M8665 . (The three-finger-drag gesture isn’t available on the MacBook Air and on Early 2008 MacBook Pro models.)

It’s worth noting that when using the Magic Trackpad with an Apple laptop, you can’t choose different gesture settings for the Magic Trackpad and the built-in trackpad. (This behavior is different than that of the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, which lets you configure different keyboard settings for a laptop’s built-in keyboard and an external keyboard.)

Looking for more gestures? Unfortunately, none of the third-party utilities I tested for enhancing Apple’s laptop trackpads and the Magic Mouse–MagicPrefs, BetterTouchTool, Inklet, or Jitouch–works with the Magic Trackpad, although I suspect the developers of these utilities will be updating the software soon for full Magic Trackpad compatibility.

The Magic Trackpad ships with two AA alkaline batteries MacBook 13″  iBook G3 14 , although Apple now sells its own Apple Battery Charger, complete with six rechargeable batteries–enough to power a Wireless Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse simultaneously. Apple hasn’t published an official battery life for the Magic Trackpad, and we haven’t yet had our review unit long enough to make any guesses. According to Apple, the Magic Trackpad–much like the Wireless Keyboard–goes into a power-saving mode when not being used in order to extend battery life.

Dye-sensitized solar cell patent analysis

Monday, July 26th, 2010

At the mention of green energy or renewable energy, people almost immediately think of solar cells. The first solar cell is the silicon solar cell, was born in 1954, a lapse of 50 years old. However, silicon solar cell manufacturing process complexity, energy consumption, high cost, its widespread application has been limited. Since 1991, after the dye-sensitized solar cells (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell) for cheaper raw materials, production process is relatively simple, more stable performance, failure to reduce such advantages into sight, and gradually by the industry’s attention.

So, what is the dye-sensitized solar cells do? Dye-sensitized solar cells by nano-porous semiconductor films, dye (photosensitizer), redox electrolyte, the electrode and the conductive substrate such as a few parts, Toshiba battery is a kind of dye-sensitized wide bandgap semiconductor thin film anode for the light of new light volt battery.

In this paper, China’s patent search database (CPRS) in the patent literature for the public entry point, the main applicant and analysis technology to domestic enterprises or research institutions to better respond to take measures to protect the core technology and innovation, and necessary to conduct new research and development, comprehensively enhance independent innovation capability and level. All statistics as of this March 22, 2010 only.

Main research directions

In recent years, photovoltaic cells or photovoltaic technology and its application in China has attracted increasing attention, the National Development and Reform Commission on August 31, 2007 issued a “long-term renewable energy development plan,” and issued a series of preferential policies to support the development of photovoltaic industry; March 3, 2008 issued the “renewable energy development” Eleventh Five “plan”, further defined the development of China’s renewable energy targets. Currently, China has become an international production base of photovoltaic products Acer ac adapter , Apple ac adapter .

However, our in dye-sensitized solar cell technology development and application are still faced with many problems, mainly concentrated in the photoelectric conversion efficiency, large area, the liquid electrolyte packages and long term stability and so on. For example, in photoelectric conversion efficiency, the current dye-sensitized solar cell laboratory small area (0.2cm2) maximum efficiency up to 11%, but 100cm2 battery efficiency only 5% to 9%, far less than silicon and gallium arsenide series battery All batteries, commercial solar cells.

For another example, in the long-term stability, the dye-sensitized solar cell using organic solvents and contain I-/I-3 by the redox form of liquid electrolyte, which is damaging the stability of “culprit.” Because the high temperature electrolyte leakage and evaporation of the solvent and the solution of thermal expansion, contraction caused by packaging materials, nano-porous film strip and Dye and fall off, you will have a devastating effect on the cell stability. In addition, the use of liquid electrolyte of the electrolyte may cause chemical reactions and heat insulation damage caused by the short circuit and optical non-reversible chemical reactions, they may undermine its stability. Thus, exploring the appropriate electrolyte gel and solid hole transport materials to replace the liquid electrolyte, preparation of high conversion efficiency of quasi-solid and solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells, the technology is an important research direction.

Surge in patent applications in recent years

Dye-sensitized solar cell in the field of related patent applications as of March 22, 2010 the public data, the area of patent applications for the 447, as shown in Figure 1, the dye-sensitized solar cell applications in the patent application volume change can see Asus ac adapter , Compaq ac adapter , before 2000, the development of the technology still in its infancy, only in 1996 and 1999, respectively, a patent application; from 2000 to 2006, the field is in the early stages of development, the slow increase in applications ; since 2006, into the rapid development stage, the rapid growth of its applications and maintain a rapid development momentum, which in 2008 had more than 100 applications (2008 and 2009 are still under patent applications public 18 months Therefore, in 2008 and 2009 applications are not fully reflected in the data).

Patent applicants mainly from Japan and South Korea

Figure 2 shows the dye-sensitized solar cell patent applications related to the distribution of the country know that the Chinese applicant related applications in China ranked first, accounting applications (447) to 74.7%, Japan and South Korea the applicant’s patent applications in China came in second and third, respectively, for the total amount of 13.2% and 4.0%. Therefore, the domestic technology development in the field more quickly, in the patent application has the absolute advantage.

Japan and South Korea compared to other countries, in comparison to the field strong technical strength, higher R & D investment, a strong sense of patent protection, and more emphasis on the Chinese market, has begun in China-related patent portfolio.

On Figure 3 lists the area of dye-sensitized solar cell patent application that the principal applicants, we can see applications in the top 10 applicants, in addition to South Korea’s Samsung ranked tenth place (with the Southeast University, Nanjing University , Tsinghua University, Wuhan University, tied), Dell ac adapter , Fujitsu ac adapter  the other applications from Chinese companies or research institutions, Japan-based medicine ranked twelfth.

In addition, it is noteworthy that the area in addition to major domestic applicants Rainbow Group, a business, the rest are Chinese Academy of Sciences research institutes or universities. This indicates that domestic universities and Chinese Academy of Sciences of the technology, great attention has been put into a certain R & D, and has strong patent protection awareness to the international competition in this area gain an advantage.

Chinese companies to gain the upper hand in the global patent strategy

Through the above analysis is not difficult to find, dye-sensitized solar cell is the area of solar photovoltaic technology to study the relatively new branch, is still in the labs, mostly in their patent applications after 2000; domestic development in the area more quickly, universities and research institutes in this highly technical field concerned,  HP ac adapter  have invested some R & D and have a strong sense of patent protection; Japan and South Korea in the field more abundant technical strength, higher R & D investment, and has begun in China-related patent portfolio. Relevant domestic enterprises or research institutions can focus on the development of new technologies in the field, the use of new materials, new processes with higher levels of output of some of the core technology patent, in pursuit of the world’s dominant position in the patent strategy.
