Nanotechnology research could reduce the cost of fuel cells

latinum jewelry looks brilliant around a neck or finger but no one luxuriates in paying hundreds of dollars to replace the catalytic converter in a car. Precious metal catalysts, which speed up chemical reactions, are good for the environment and industry—and they could enable huge improvements in our energy supply in the future—but they are rare and expensive. By exploring ways to reduce, if not replace, the need for these metals, chemical engineering Professor Stacey Bent is trying to lessen the number of greenbacks required to be green.

BNP Paribas cuts Angang (00347) target to HK$3.8, "reduce"

ET Net News Agency, 7 November 2008> BNP Paribas cut its target price for Angang Steel (00347) to HK$3.8 from HK$6.3, and retained its "reduce" call. Due to rigid iron-ore costs, the house said Angang is most likely to lose money in 4Q08 and 1Q09. It estimated its cash cost will be Rmb3,750/tonne in 1H08, and its iron-ore cost (bought from the parent) will go up by 23% to Rmb970/tonne in 2H08. BNP cut the company's ASP and margin assumptions in 2009 and 2010 to reflect sharp cyclical downturn risk. It also reduced EPS forecasts by 50.4% in 2009 (to RMB0.62) and 47.3% in 2010 (to RMB0.66).

Physicist proposes to use femtosecond, chirped laser pulse trains to reduce decoherence

In a recent publication in the high impact journal Optics Letters, Svetlana Malinovskaya, Associate Professor of Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology, proposes to use femtosecond, chirped laser pulse trains to reduce decoherence. Controlling coherence can overcome current barriers in a variety of fields, from quantum computing to molecular selective bio-imaging.

Aussie jobs go in Citigroup purge

Hold Hands with Robots

New software from ABB will reportedly reduce programming time for the automated deburring and polishing of plastic parts. The deburring process of plastic parts has long been labour-intensive with an inconsistent end-product quality because parts are deburred and polished by hand. The conventional approach needs complex and time-consuming manual programming as the robot path needs to be as exact as possible. ABB’s new ForceControl Machining can reduce overall programming times by up to 80% for robots used to debur plastic parts, vastly improving productivity levels, says the company. A key element of the solution ‘ForceControl Machining’ is the new lead-by-hand technique, which lets the user take the robot “by the hand” while a command de-energises the robot and it goes limp.

Ericsson's digitally controlled voltage regulator greatly outperforms analogue based solutions

Compared to traditional voltage regulators based on analogue control, Ericsson Power Modules’ BMR450 uses a highly integrated digital PWM controller. This makes it possible to increase current density while decreasing footprint, and to reduce component count by 50%. Further, thanks to embedded dynamic and adaptive controls, it is possible to reduce power consumption by adjusting critical parameters to match load conditions, resulting in higher efficiency throughout the whole range of operation.
