GT5 GreenCell Technologies: HYDROGEN USE AS A MOTOR FUEL is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

by RDECOM

Article by GreenCell Technologies Inc.

There are several ways that hydrogen can be used as a motor fuel. It can be used to directly replace gasoline or diesel fuel in specially designed internal combustion engines (ICEs), or it can be used to supplement these typical fuels in existing engines. In either of these cases, the vehicle drive system will be identical to those used on most gasoline-powered or diesel-powered vehicles. The engine will drive the vehicle’s wheels through a transmission, drive shaft, and front or rear axle.
Hydrogen can also be used as the fuel source for a “fuel cell engine,” in which case the vehicle’s drive system will be very different. A fuel cell directly creates electricity, which can be used to power an electric motor to drive the vehicle’s wheels. A fuel cell vehicle is, therefore, an electric vehicle, but one that creates its own electricity and does not need to be plugged in to recharge batteries. A small fuel cell can also be used to create electricity to directly power the auxiliary systems on a commercial truck (for example heating, air conditioning, and lighting in a sleeper berth), which are typically powered by the truck’s main engine. Using such a fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU) would allow the driver to shut off the truck’s main diesel engine while resting, saving fuel and reducing pollution.
Regardless of whether the hydrogen will be used in a fuel cell main engine, a fuel cell APU, or an internal combustion engine, there are different ways that it can be stored on the vehicle. As described below, these different storage technologies can introduce significantly different potential hazards, including very high pressure (gaseous hydrogen storage), very low temperature (liquid hydrogen storage), or high temperature (liquid fuel reforming).
GT5 GreenCell Technologies: Currently both fuel cells and hydrogen ICEs are in the early stages of commercialization. All of the major auto companies have fielded concept, prototype, or demonstration fuel cell sedans and sport utility vehicles in the last several years, with at least fifteen different models introduced since 2000 (Barnitt and Eudy, 2005; USFCC, 2006). Most of these vehicles have been operated by the companies themselves or have been fielded to government agencies and fleet customers as part of technology development or demonstration programs. The California Fuel Cell Partnership reports that its members have placed 134 light-duty fuel cell vehicles in service in California since 2000 (CAFCP, n.d.). In addition, there are currently nine fuel cell transit buses in service in the United States and Canada, and over 20 in Europe and Asia (Chandler and Eudy, 2006).
It is expected that commercial fuel cells will be introduced into government and transit bus fleets between 2010 and 2020, with sales to commercial vehicle fleets and the public sometime between 2020 and 2030 (DOE, 2002). It is also expected that the first use of hydrogen fuel in the commercial truck sector will be to power fuel cell APUs rather than to power fuel cell or hydrogen ICE main propulsion engines. At least one company has announced plans to introduce commercial fuel cell APUs as early as 2011 (Delphi, 2005).
GT5 GreenCell Technologies: Most current prototype fuel cell vehicles carry their hydrogen fuel as a compressed gas, and it is expected that this will continue to be the case for the earliest commercial vehicles. It may be desirable to store liquid hydrogen onboard a commercial vehicle because it has a higher energy density and would increase the range between fill-ups. However, onboard liquid hydrogen storage is more costly, and it is more likely that liquid hydrogen will be stored at fueling stations to supply gaseous hydrogen to vehicles. Other storage technologies, such as metal and chemical hydrides, are much further from commercial readiness (DOE, n.d.). Several fuel cell buses have been demonstrated that “reform,” or extract hydrogen from, liquid methanol onboard (Georgetown University, 2003), and there are fuel cell APU systems under development that will derive their hydrogen from onboard reforming of diesel fuel or gasoline (Delphi, 2005). In addition, there are several commercial “hydrogen injection” systems available for retrofit on diesel engines (CHEC, n.d.). These systems produce small amounts of hydrogen by electrolysis of water carried on the vehicle, which is injected into the diesel engine along with the diesel fuel.

by RDECOM

Article by Elan Technologies

With a broad portfolio of technology solutions which address business problems, software development vendors have helped clients enhance the overall performance levels. There are companies who delve into a variety of technologies in information technology, and have attained success over the years.
Some vendors are particularly adept in providing technological solutions and services to meet their goals, and get much ahead of the competition keeping the right pace with the market. Additionally, timely solutions help the clients to satisfy customers’ demands. Managing applications for clients has been the prime function of most software development companies.
Software development companies are also expected to maintain quality standards irrespective of the type and scope of services that they provide. The clients are always interested with working with vendors who follow the highest quality standards especially those who are ISO 9001:2008 and CMMi certified which is indicative of the best practices that the organizations follow. The most preferred vendors include organizations which hire multi-talented professionals and experts in the field of software development and well versed with the quality measures involved in the specification, scope verification, component design, UI design, application development, independent testing, documentation, and support.
Clients also prefer a fine balance in quality and cost-effectiveness. Web platforms are much in demand and customized solutions are useful for many companies since they blend in well with their existing business processes. The software development companies offer a multitude of web systems including Content management System, Document Management System, CRM Applications, supply chain management, Scheduler, Social Networking and Collaboration applications.
Most of the product development services are means of attending to enterprise needs. There are a plethora of offshore web application development companies to choose from who are quite good in what they do. They can help you out with the IT tasks and even handle the non-core and can add virtual developers and other professionals for different activities. One can save on a lot of hiring and cost overheads by outsourcing the tasks to a good software development company. One can then concentrate on their core business tasks and marketing of products and services once the non-core tasks are taken care of by an adept company.
One should be sure about the expertise as well as communication schedule with the proposed vendor since it is quite important that there is on and off collaboration related to the projects. Additionally, the developers and professionals assigned to the project should be well experienced and experts in the said technology for the overall success of the project.

TGI Named to START-IT Magazine’s 2007 Hottest Companies for Manufacturing Technology is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

by The Official CTBTO Photostream

Article by Technology Group International

Technology Group International (TGI), a leading ERP software solution provider, today announced it has been named one of START-IT magazine’s 2007 Hottest Companies for manufacturing technology.

START-IT reviewed companies providing technology to the manufacturing industry and judged applicants on such criteria as revenue growth, client wins, technological developments, and significant events and accomplishments that help set a company apart from the competition.

According to Peggy Smedley, editorial director of START-IT, the magazine called TGI “refreshing” and provided a long list of criteria which they considered differentiators for TGI (www.tgiltd.com). “START-IT editors applaud TGI for providing a solution that is the right fit for the right company. TGI’s honesty with its customers and prospects is quickly inspiring an industry that is looking to grow and prosper despite increased competition. From the editors’ perspectives, it’s a wonderful way for a software company to form lasting relationships and partnerships with its customers.”

As part of this award, the START-IT editors interviewed two TGI customers and wrote an article describing TGI’s unique business philosophy and those items that set the company apart from other ERP providers.

Included in the list of items that “impressed the editors” and were considered differentiators were the following:

All products are written in Delphi so there is no proprietary technology
Source code is provided to customers with each sale
Unlimited licenses are available
Maintenance is free for the first year
TGI offers a money-back guarantee
TGI’s free Software Selection Tool Kit

In addition to the above list of criteria, the START-IT editors were “equally intrigued with how TGI is serving small and mid-market manufacturers with the type of functionality that is just as good–if not better in some cases–than the tier-one technology providers that like to toss their hat into the same competitive ring as TGI.”

Additional information on the award and the full START-IT article is available via TGI’s website at http://www.tgiltd.com

Visual Technologies to Offer Innovative New Product for the Financial Services Industry is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

by Veribatim

Article by Visual Technologies, Inc.

Hartford, CT, July 7, 2008 – Visual Technologies, Inc., a system integrator and independent provider of software and IT services, is proud to announce a new product offering, cEPS(TM)–a family of administrative systems developed for the financial services industry. cEPS(TM) is designed and built to support today’s complex financial services products, representing the next evolution for the industry.

Historically, financial services products were independently sold and administered, requiring consumers to use various vertical channels in order to purchase different product types. For instance, consumers used insurance agents to buy life and annuity products, and brokers to buy stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Today, the market requires that financial services products interoperate in order to better meet consumers’ needs. cEPS(TM) affords a solution by incorporating multiple financial services products. cEPS(TM) integrates life insurance, annuity, mutual fund, ETF, reverse mortgage, and other product processing components to create a combination product that can be sold and administered. While Unified Managed Accounts (UMAs) and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) have begun to address this issue, cEPS(TM) is truly unique in that it delivers the ability to include insurance components into the mix as well.

The cEPS(TM) Administrative Systems are built on Visual Technologies’ enterprise class, Microsoft certified infrastructure–CoDI(TM)–an innovative solution designed to enable IT systems to work together without major systems overhauls. Visual Technologies created CoDI(TM) to improve integration from multiple applications and databases. Using scalable and reusable components, CoDI(TM) is based on Visual Technologies’ “wrap-not-scrap” philosophy.

The cEPS(TM) Administrative Systems were developed as a result of coupling CoDI(TM) with our Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) approach. SOA strives to integrate functions and consolidate activity in one back-end system. For financial services companies that depend on efficiency and rapid product launches, Visual Technologies’ cEPS(TM) Administrative Systems solve the challenges of conventional software development. By isolating functions into discrete components, integrating systems at the appropriate level, breaking down informational barriers, and allowing for a dynamic infrastructure, cEPS(TM) and Visual Technologies enhance the business of any financial services company.

Visible Technologies Unveils Vision for Social Intelligence is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

by jisc_infonet

Article by Visible Technologies

Details Next-Generation Platform to Address the Changing Social Media Landscape

LONDON, UK, 2nd November, 2010 – Visible Technologies today unveiled its vision for Social Intelligence, the ability to extract measurable business value from social conversations, enabling companies to capitalise on the rapidly growing and changing social media landscape. The company also announced Visible Intelligence, the cornerstone of its vision and the industry’s next-generation software platform built from the ground-up for the future of the social Web.

“Social media is growing exponentially, both in volume and in potential value to companies that seek to understand their market, enhance their brands, and grow loyal customers. Available technology has quite simply not kept pace with this opportunity,” said Kelly Pennock, CEO of Visible Technologies. “This requires a leap beyond existing social monitoring tools.”

Today’s social environment requires a platform and the right mix of consulting services to effectively leverage online social communities as they grow and create business value. With a powerful, scalable, Google-like architecture, Visible Intelligence natively organises, searches and analyses a massive and increasing volume of data with a powerful search and relevance engine.

The Evolution to Social Intelligence
To extract measurable business value from social conversations, an effective Social Intelligence platform must include:

* Business Intelligence for Social Media: Data viewed from multiple perspectives, powerful search with extensive filters and with results organised by relevance, customised reporting, individualized dashboards and drill down from high-level metrics to granular post-level views for deeper insights.
* Data and System Integration: Exports, API access and integration with existing CRM and BI systems and processes to leverage social data across enterprise business applications. Plus, the ability to share data and easily engage among users and departments to create more meaningful and targeted customer experiences.
* Global Insights: Access to data in more than 50 languages and geo-sentiment analysis for global initiatives, campaigns and insights.

Technology Supported by Best-in-Class Consulting Services:

* Experienced social media analysts help organisations look beyond raw data and provide strategic guidance and actionable insights to make smarter business decisions.

Industry Validation of Social Intelligence:

* “Social Intelligence is an emerging discipline. Most brands’ listening strategies still only use social media data reactively – mainly monitoring brand mentions. Few have yet to take the next steps toward proactively using the data to inform their marketing and business decisions.”
Zach Hofer-Shall, Forrester Research (“Trends 2010: Listening Platforms” on September 9, 2010)

* “At VCCP, we have line of sight into the social media challenges and opportunities that face the top UK brands. And the days of watching by the sideline are over. Working with Visible Technologies, we are able to provide Social Intelligence as a key input for communications decisions across the board and as a primary output to measure the success of marketing efforts in every discipline.”
Dominic Sinton, group managing director, VCCP

* “Businesses have to evolve with customers, yet too often, companies spend their resources trying to get customers to behave in old ways rather than adapting as the world changes. As social media becomes more prevalent in our lives for researching products and services, talking about our experiences with brands and looking for support-the companies who are learning about what their customers need, engaging with them, and using the findings to improve customer experiences and product developments will have a clear edge over the competition.”
Vanessa Fox, author of “Marketing in the Age of Google”

* “Data is a commodity; albeit, a crucial foundation for sound decision making. Clients are expecting us to make sense of the data and convert it into insightful strategies. Having access to a treasure trove of social data combined with the ability to creatively mine it efficiently and effectively is a true competitive advantage.”
Seth Friedman, director of brand planning, Tribal DDB

* “I believe every CMO continuously looks for ways to optimise multi-channel outreach. To my knowledge, there is no market research forum with greater capacity to provide actionable insight at a global scale or a more effective channel to build affinity and influence than social channels. A platform to leverage this power is essential for every successful marketing team.”
Debbie DeGabrielle, CMO of Visible Technologies

Legacy Technology | Something about Legacy Technology is a post from: TechGamesBlog.com

by The Official CTBTO Photostream

A legacy technology is an old technique, system, computer system, or application program that goes on to be applied, generally as it runs yet for the users’ necessitates, still fresher technology or more effective techniques of executing a project are available right away. A legacy technology may have processes or terminology which are no longer applicable in the current circumstance, and may block or baffle realizing of the ways or methods used.

Organizations can have obliging causes for having a legacy technology, such as:

The technology works satisfactorily, and the proprietor considers no causes for altering it.
The expenses of redesigning or substituting the system are prohibitory as it is large, massive, and/or composite.
Retraining on a newly technology would be more expensive in bewildered time and money, equated to the expected appreciable gains of altering it.
The technology needs near fixed accessibility, so it could not be assumed out of service, and the expense of designing a new technology with a alike accessibility degree is high. Exemplifications include technologies to cover clients’ accounts in banks, computer booking systems, air traffic handling, energy department (power grids), nuclear power plants, armed forces defense integrations, and technologies like the TOPS database.
The method that the technology works is not enough good realized. This kind of position can happen when the designers of the technology have imparted the company and the organization has either not been completely authenticated or documentation has been disoriented.
The user anticipates that the technology could easily be substituted when this gets essential.

Legacy technologies are assumed to be potentially problematical by few software engineers for various causes:

Legacy technologies often carry on disused (and generally dumb) hardware, and extra parts for these computers might get growingly difficult to get.
If legacy technology runs on antediluvian hardware only, the expense of holding the technology might finally outbalance the expense of altering both the software and hardware until more or less form of emulation or rearwards compatibility grants the software to run on newly hardware.
These technologies could be hard to assert, ameliorate, and flourish as there is a universal deficiency of realizing of the technology; the staffs who were specialists on it have adjourned or disremembered what they experienced about it, and staff who enrolled the area after it turned “legacy” never heard about it in the first lay. This could be declined by deficiency or loss of documentation. A territorial airline kicked its CEO in 2004 due to the loser of an antediluvian legacy crew programming technology that campaigned into a restriction not known to anyone in the organization.
Legacy technologies might have exposures in earlier operating systems or applications due to deficiency of security dapples being uncommitted or used. There could also be production conformations that cause security issues. These problems can put the legacy technology at chance of being settled by attackers or well-educated insiders.
Consolidation with new technologies might also be hard as newly software might use totally unlike systems. The type of bridge hardware and software that turns useable for unlike technologies that are democratic at the same time are frequently not formulated for disagreeing technologies in different times, as of the deficiency of a large requirement for it and the deficiency of related honour of a big market economies of scale, whilst more or less of this “glue” does acquire formulated by sellers and fanciers of specific legacy technologies.
