For 15 years, the New York company’s IP Soft worked secretly with Amelia – a software based on artificial intelligence. The goal has been to provide a system capable of three things – to understand natural language, learning through natural language, and to use the learned knowledge to solve problems.

Just a few weeks ago presented the technology publicly, and last week was the management of IP Softphone on a visit to Sweden to meet with Swedish prospective customers.

Fokus located initially on the use of customer service and internal help center. During the past year, Amelia worked on samples of dozens of American companies. And already in January 2014 reported Gartner, who got to talk to the companies, if an increase in productivity that are not matched by similar technologies.

Gartner also notes that such technology can replace people. “In a company resolved 56 percent of customer problems without human intervention, and the time to solve the problem had decreased by 60 percent,” writes Gartner.

According IP Soft results were achieved after 30 days of training when Amelia listened to conversations between customer service staff and customers. Among examples of similar technology, Gartner takes up IBM’s computer Watson, who won over the people in the quiz Jeopardy in 2011, writes that the IP Softs cognitive engineering is a level above Watson.

Ergun Ekici, Development Manager at IP Soft, suggesting that Watson and Amelia would be a great couple, but would not confirm any concrete plans for cooperation. The combination seems to be interesting: Watson’s strength is to analyze very large amounts of unstructured data, and to find patterns and statistically probable answer. Amelia’s strength is to understand and learn through natural language.

On the tram is a camera with an image sensor that has a resolution of 0.05 mm at a speed of 36 km / h. This means that the driver can get information about the smallest crack in the rails.

The sensor has been developed by the Austrian Institute of Technology, AIT, in cooperation with Fraunhofer IMS. It is even available for speeds up to 300 km / h, but with a resolution of 0.4 mm.

On Vision trade fair in Stuttgart November 4 to 6 demonstrated the technology in AITs booth.

With a 3D-based driver assistance systems must tram journeys made safer and more comfortable . An intelligent optical 3D sensor systems must be able to evaluate the risk around a detected object in the vicinity of the track.

Such a system has already been developed in collaboration with the tram manufacturer Bombardier and used on trams in the Frankfurter Verkehrs-Gesellschaft, so far as prototype.

The fair also demonstrated a 3d panoramic camera for mobile robots, that even in difficult lighting conditions to work uninterrupted. One use for these are in robots that can be deployed for inspection at the forest fires to provide a picture of the fire area without human needs at risk.

KTH teach with New Technology – New Technology

At the Royal Institute of Technology used Ny Teknik newsletter in the teaching of new technology teacher. There is also a wish: New Technology for children.

     Ny Teknik newsletter used in teaching at KTH.

Students which will be the future technology teachers need to learn to communicate difficult topics in a simple way. At KTH Ny Teknik newsletter has become one of the tools.

– As a technology teacher is not sufficient subject knowledge, one must keep abreast development also says Eva Hartell, graduate student and teacher at teacher training in technology.

The students are encouraged to subscribe, but it’s not just to read the news. They also receive training in how to convey technical knowledge by processing the text.

– We do exercises in which students write about the texts in the newsletters for pupils in grades four to six, says Eva Hartell.

Then the middle hepatic read and critique. And then the students are working on the lyrics again.

– Although technology teachers are language teachers.

Eleverna encounter texts at varying technical levels in the newsletters because they are about a little of everything.

– I think you cover most. It is written in a popular way, but it’s not a ding ding world, says Eva Hartell.

The kids have their own technology interests she points out. They do not always match with what the professionals engineers in Ny Teknik readership wants to read about.

– I think you would have a child side, says Eva Hartell.

The children may be interested in issues such as life in space, what happens in the body when you fall in love or what happens after death.

New Technology’s managing editor, Susanna Baltscheffsky, has been toying with the idea.

– We discuss from time to time about new technologies would make a section for children. One suggestion is to use the newsletter Popular technology that writes about a little more spectacular and eye-catching technology news. The teachers’ point of view is a good reason to think again on what new technology could do, she said.

Before the purchase: Brazil Gripen lease – New Technology

After Brazil’s purchase of 36 new Gripen of Saab Sweden can rent out Swedish Gripen aircraft to Brazil. An agreement is being negotiated.

Defence group Saab may sell 36 JAS 39 Gripen next generation to Brazil for close to 40 billion. Brazil buys 28 planes with room for a pilot (Gripen E), and 8-seater plane (Gripen F).

But even Swedish state contributes to the deal differently.

Back in April this year signed Sweden and Brazil a military cooperation agreement – which according to the Brazilian defense mini stone Celso Amorim- was important not least for its planned purchase of the Gripen system.

Among other traded contract for the Swedish Air Force would train Brazilian pilots of the Gripen system. But more training and system knowledge needed. According to previous rumors, will Brazil have decided not to hire any Swedish Gripen aircraft before getting their own planes delivered from 2019 onwards. (Final delivery is expected 2024th)

But the rumors are false, says Sofia Karlberg, head of communications at the National Defence and Security Export Agency.

– Sweden and Brazil are negotiating an interim solution, in which the goal is that we will be ready before the New Year, she said.

Enligt Sofia Karlberg has the intergovernmental negotiations got delayed a bit while the Saab deal was negotiated.

The plan that Brazil wants to rent the Air Force’s most modern Gripen fighters of the model C / D.

Sofia Karlberg want not state the number of planes that Brazil might hire of Sweden, but according to research firm Jane’s is about 6-12 pieces plan.

So This annotated Defense Minister Karin Enstrom the Swedish ability to offer Brazil a bridging solution in April of this year:

– Brazil has said it wants something before getting the next generation Gripen so that they can learn in the meantime. Then it becomes easier to make the transition to the new aircraft systems. There we have good experiences to teach other countries how to operate this system. We will look at how it should be here in the future and when it might start.

Flygvapenchefen Micael Bydén want in the current situation, however, does not comment on the Armed Forces opportunities to spare Swedish fighter jets to Brazil.

When Saab Gripen renewed its tender to Brazil in 2009 also promised the Swedish government to evaluate the KC-390 new transport aircraft.

KC-390 manufactured by Brazilian Embraer, one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer. The first prototype of transport aircraft was rolled out of the factory the other day.

Embraer expects to play a leadership role in the Brazilian Gripen most of which will be built in Brazil.

As the Saab Gripen Business with Brazil is in port, Saab and Embraer now also come to collaborate on Sweden to offer a replacement for the aged Swedish Hercules Plan.

Adds one kilometer elväg per hour – New Technology

– To electrify the Swedish road network is no problem. We can put a rail in the roadway in miles per hour. In one year, we can electrify the main roads in the country, said Peter Knutsson at NCC Roads.

Elways technology for electrification, with a splint in the roadway and a pickup in the vehicle, is one of those who received support from the Swedish Energy Agency for more research. Competing technologies are overhead with pantographs on trains or trams, and inductive charging, where the vehicle and the power source does not need to be in contact.

For Gunnar Asplund, the engineer behind Elways, is the logic behind a rail in the path clear:

– Overhead Lines works only for trucks and buses. Cars need a pantograph that lasts six feet in the air. Inductive charging from roadway is very fun to work with, but it is five to ten times as expensive as this technology, he said.

Elways technology is said to cost between five and ten million per kilometer of road. Consortium Elways has since 2012 conducted tests on 200 meter test track on the road between the airport and the freight terminal in Rosersberg.

The test distance shall be extended to 2 000 meters, and at the end of 2015 would be tested with real traffic. An electric truck will then carry cargo on the route.

– We would like to continue to electrify the whole of Sweden. Yes, Europe. Technically there is no problem. We mills a 15 cm deep rut in the road, lay down and seal the rail. We have developed a molding compound that holds at least 20 years. We can assemble the track at a speed of one kilometer per hour elväg said Peter Knutsson.

– It’s kind of like putting up a lighting network. First, a linear work: to mill down the rail of the roadway. Since a transverse work, they must have the connection for dewatering and force every fifty yards.

Historically cooperation in new Gripen contract – New Technology

     Fewer than half of the Gripen aircraft that Brazil buys will be assembled on site. Photo: Artist’s impression / Saab 2014
     

Saab’s partnership with the Brazilian airplane manufacturer Embraer involves joint export of new Gripen on the world market. It says Saab after Brazil’s purchase of 36 planes.

Saab’s vice president Lennart Sindahl revealed on Monday details of Saab’s historical commercial contract with Brazil for the sale of 36 new Gripen.

Among other things, he stated that Saab and Brazilian aerospace industries now together will develop and sell new Gripen on the world market. It’s a novelty.

The Saab original quote was included to Brazilian industry would export rights in Latin America. But now the full Saab compete other fighter aircraft manufacturers in the world, together with Brazil’s leading aircraft manufacturer Embraer.

– Yes, Embraer becomes a partner us on the world market, says Helene Lindstrand, spokesperson for Saab.

The order of 39.3 billion, is one of the largest in Saab history.

Swedish government has ordered 60 copies of the single-seat Gripen E, and Brazil want 28. Saab and Embraer will now jointly develop the two-seater version for the Brazilian Air Force.

Brazil’s new Gripen is similar to the Swedish. However, some adjustments are made, for example, in terms of communication links, and electronic warfare

According to Lennart Sindahl begins production of the Brazilian single-seat plan immediately.

– The first planes delivered will be single-seater. We will begin the development of the two-seater plane now, he says.

The assembly will take place in both countries.

– But we should not duplicate each other. There will be production lines in both Sweden and Brazil, and also the Swedish-Brazilian teams in both countries, he said.

At least 15 of the 36 plan will be assembled in Brazil. About 150 Brazilian engineers will come to be trained in how Gripen produced in Sweden.

400 million for new solar electricity – New Technology

The government injects new grant money to people who install solar panels. SEK 400 million extra for solar power to be allocated over the next four years.

     New million for solar electricity. Photo: TT
     

In 2009, a state aid to install solar cells . Today you can get a refund of up to 35 percent of the cost, or most 1.2 million. Interest in the support has been great, and there has been a concern in the industry for the money set aside to end.

Now Government proposes that pot should be increased by 100 million per year over the next four years. To justify the government decision: “Solar is a renewable energy technology that is beneficial from a climate perspective, but that is not yet commercially competitive., It remains set mode to the development of solar power is stimulated.”

Förslaget means that a total of 240 million will be allocated annually during 2015 and 2016, while 100 million per year is allocated for the year 2017 and by 2018.

Energimyndigheten publishes monthly statistics on solar support. The latest report from September 2014 indicate that a total of 437 million have been granted since subsidies were introduced on 1 July 2009 over the same period has 316 million disbursed. The support is rambegränsat which means that you can only get money as long as they deposited the money lasts.

The government’s budget also proposed a tax credit for micro-producers of renewable electricity. The proposal means that you can deduct 60 cents in taxes for every kilowatt hour fed into the public grid from eg solar cells or wind turbines.

So the car should live on after junkyard – New Technology

From the beginning of the year to be 95 percent of the weight of a car can be recycled. New Technology visited the largest bilåtervinnare struggling to meet the new, tougher EU requirements.

Every year scrapped around 190 000 cars in Sweden. Of those ports around 45,000 in a giant mill outside Halmstad. Several process steps later, they come out in the form of new materials such as iron, aluminum, copper and fuel.

– We and photo booth hire built Scandinavia’s most advanced car recycling, says Kristofer Sundsgård, Production Director at Stena Recycling.

He reports that 91 percent of the car’s weight can be recycled today. It’s not enough. In January introduces new EU requirement that 95 percent by weight must be recycled. Of these, a maximum of 10 percent is burned as fuel. To achieve the target cooperates Stena Recycling few years ago with Bilretur, a national network of 93 dismantlers.

– I’m sure that together we will pass 95 percent by year end, says Kristofer Sundsgård.

At Ny Teknik’s visit is compressed bilkadaver stacked in large piles and waiting to be lifted into the grinder of a giant femfingrad grapple. Before they came here have a dismantlers stripped away tires, batteries, boxes, air bags, liquids and components that can be reused as spare parts. The cleaner the body, the easier to recycle.

The grinder is fast and brutal. The bodies are chopped up by twelve hammer à 300 kg. The rotating at 500 revolutions per minute, a job that requires a 6,000-horsepower engine.

– What remains is pieces the size of a fist , says production Sverker Rosdahl, who shows us around the facility.

shapeless pieces of metal, plastic and other things going on all over the place on a conveyor belt. Here are some of the methods that Stena will use to sort them:

• Facilitate bits, rubber and textiles, drawn up by a fan.

• Large screens sifts heavy pieces in four different sizes. From less than 20 mm to over 120 mm.

• Iron trapped by magnetic coils.

• Bath with various density, certain materials that float, others sink.

• Sensors detect metal pieces and activate the air nozzles that blow them away.

• Different types of plastics are separated by strong air currents.

• metal pieces that technology has finally caught missed manually.

Före New Year the recovery rate is screwed up another few notches. One of the challenges is to improve the sorting of plastics in various grades. To reach the 95 percent target must also picture booth are picking more of this car bodies before they reach Stena’s facility.

In a few years counting Stena Recycling to have a larger and more advanced facility in operation on the neighboring site. There is an abandoned factory of 400 000 square meters today echoes empty. You want the company including building more and bigger densitetsbad to separate different metals more efficiently.

Even plastic sorting should be further refined. The goal is to create cleaner fractions at a lower cost. Now waiting for the company to environmental conditions of the investment is in the 100 million kronor class.

This also applies to finding customers for all recycled materials . The metals are not a problem. The plastic is trickier.

– The market for recycled plastic has been lukewarm, until a few years ago. But manufacturers such as furniture and building materials such as floor shows more interest in recycled plastic, says Anna Henstedt, responsible for environmental issues in industry organization Bil Sweden.

She says that there is much research on the area, including to create different grades of plastic. This allows customers to know what they are buying, while recycling companies know what will be delivered. Price is also an important aspect. Recycled plastics must be cheaper than virgin raw materials.

Sweden on the ball with the future of commodities – New Technology

Reduced dependence on high-tech metals, better recovery and new products. The government opens wallet to let Sweden drive innovation trends in commodities.

SEK 24 million over eight years . The government wants to bet to Swedish universities and colleges to participate in a European innovation platform for commodities. And along with Swedish corporations to help create new products that enhance the growth and competitiveness.

The money will go to the basic fee as members of an upcoming new European Knowledge Innovation platform in commodities must pay. But they now can not use their allocations for. Previously participation demanded that the government has made an exception.

– It is not about research in the traditional sense, but about innovation and education around commodities, says Pär Weihed, professor at Luleå University of Technology.

In today’s budget, open the government to provide three million euros per year . Everything provided that the application for Sweden, together with ten other European countries, submitted to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT, granted. Pär Weihed at Luleå University plays a leading role in efforts to Sweden and Luleå’ll get to be the node that coordinates innovation efforts for so-called primary commodities.

– This may involve creating innovations in everything from new automatic mining in deep mines to new products, he says.

With the banana are large Swedish companies like Atlas Copco, Boliden, LKAB and Sandvik. All major universities and technical colleges are also included in the proposed network.

– It feels great if the government can secure our participation, although it is a bit premature, says Pär Weihed.

A decision on which of the four competing networks designated as Europe’s new Knowledge and Innovation Platform made in December. The network, which include Sweden, has 70 partners from eleven countries. In addition to Sweden included Finland, Germany, Holland, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Belgium and Ireland.

Israel – the country for 4000 start-up companies – New Technology

“But Get Taxi have a much more advanced systems. Our customers can pay in cash and short. Uber allows only short. And on a map, I see both the customers and the drivers are, “said our taxi driver.

Get Taxi is one of Israel’s four 000 start-up companies. The country has the most innovative companies per capita in the world.

And we have traveled to Israel to try to understand why the country is called “The Start -Up Nation. “

We are not alone. Politicians and business leaders from around the world to try to learn the secret.

Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was impressed and introduced this spring, a new model to support business comes from Israel. He called the model “innovationskatapulter” and the idea is taken from Israel.

This spring, traveled some 30 of Wallenberg sphere business leaders to Israel to learn more about the power of innovation in the Israeli business community.

They probably all, like us, reading the famous book “Start -Up Nation, “The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle.

It says that Israel has attracted 2.5 times more venture capital per capita than the United States, and 30 times more than in Europe. It also says that Israel has the largest number of companies listed on NASDAQ than any country outside the United States.

company “Get Taxi”, for example, has the $ 55 million in venture capital since 2012 including from a British billionaire Len Blavatniks Access Industries Fund and Vostok Nafta Investments.

Easier to hunt submarines in six years – New Technology

     Visby corvettes belonging to the ship, looking for mini-submarines in the Stockholm archipelago. They are adapted to sneak up among the inserts. (Larger fact box in the right column). Photo: TT
     

First 2020 Sweden is expected to receive helicopters with sonars can quickly find submarines among islets and rocks.

Sweden lacks helicopters for anti-submarine warfare, including sonars aboard. It has especially been noticeable now that the Navy conducts an intelligence operation in the Stockholm archipelago. The ability to quickly from the air to search for submarines disappeared in 2008 during the settlement of Helicopter fourth

– The capacity to carry the sonar and weapons systems, as anti-submarine warfare torpedo 45 and submarine mortar system Elma disappeared concurrently with Helicopter 4, says Ola Thunqvist, Commander and teacher of military technology at the National Defence College.

Sweden has bought a number of American Blackhawk helicopter 15, and is also about to get several European NH90 helicopter 14.

But, reportedly the new technology has the ability to hunt down submarines priority. The Armed Forces have instead focused on providing the helicopters ability to transport the sick and injured, something that was needed during the operation in Afghanistan.

Ola Thunqvist notes that helicopters are invaluable during an anti-submarine warfare.

– It chased the submarine know what happens, it hears and knows where other ships are. But a helicopter can not submarine to know where it is, he says.

The first 2020 five new Helicopter 14 will be equipped with sonars aboard, believes Allan Widman, defense committee chairman (FP).

The helicopters are also waiting for a new submarine torpedo. On July 1, Saab received an order from FMV on the project “New Lightweight Torpedo,” a replacement for the torpedo 45, which can be used from surface vessels, helicopters and submarines.

Without sjöoperativa helicopters get the Navy to work with others methods. The evidence suggests that it may be chasing a midget submarine.

– The best way to discover a mini submarine is when the snorkel, says a Swedish submarine expert who wishes to remain anonymous. When using the diesel engine to recharge the ship’s batteries so visible snorkel mast on the radar, and the exhaust gases emitted visible with infrared cameras.

According to the source, a mini submarine snorkel every other or every third day. How long the craft must be near the surface depends on the model.

The sound of the diesel engine can also be heard by passive sonars, such as found on sonar buoys and submarines.

While submarines are often put into the hunt.

– You have to be as quiet as possible so as not to get caught by the second submarine, which it hopes will reveal themselves acoustically.

She was ready next nuclear physicist but was instead Development Manager hyped Spray Razorfish in the late 90s. After a few years at Intrum Justitia, and then ran her own consulting firm was handpicked her as new head of IT at the Daily News in 2010.

Last year, she was CIO at Bonnier Morning papers, with coordination responsibilities towards Expressen.

When Herlitz – CEO of Dagens Nyheter, Expressen and Dagens Industri – this week unveiled its new management team of Bonnier News becomes Charlotte Svensson, IT manager, and get new title Digital Business Development Manager at Bonnier News.

– I’m good at getting things done, and be a translator between business and technology. One can see the technology in different ways, but it is important to understand that we are a support capacity. The editorial is our main industry – what we come out. The foundation must always be faith in the publishing, technology should be an enabler. But sometimes it becomes obviously misunderstanding. But I believe the reason for this not to happen is that they are close together, you should not centralize development. Servers may be elsewhere, but the development of the business and how we develop our told to be close to the editorial.

So it did not look at the DN when you took office.

– No, and the first thing you must do then is to take into account the physical gap. 2010 DN had outsourced it very far, there were few people on this site who worked with it. Support sat elsewhere and had a mission to return within four hours. If you have a deadline and an article ahead, it is very frustrating. The supplier followed a contract, so they did what they could, but the agreement did not reflect the need. We grabbed it and took it home support, in order to bridge the gap, said Charlotte Smith to Dagens Media.

After two years at the DN, she was named the title “CIO” magazine CIO Sweden, with the motivation: ” An agile CIO who reads the game like few and manage to keep his team on top. Charlotte has taken it out of the closet and placed it in the middle of the business. She makes sure that the DN is taking the lead in the digital world as she has managed to halve matter the amount, reduce the number of critical incidents and reduce IT costs by 17 percent. A worthy winner! . “

– When I got the called and asked, I was very first set and surprised. I had not even imagined that I could be nominated. It was a solid process. 300 nominees, and then 100 that went on. Sen-depth interviews with 50 of these, both with myself and a colleague. It was very extensive. Of course I was happy when I won. But it was mainly a victory for the entire IT department on DN. It’s a team game.

Bonnier CEO Tomas Franzén has a stated mission to recover the group’s shift towards mobile and digital. Bonnier news accounts for a significant part of Bonnier’s revenue. 2013 was the only broadcasting with sales of more (7.99 billion) than Bonnier News (4.5 billion). Sales News, however, fell by about 200 million compared with 2012.

– We have a well-functioning IT in all these magazines, but for the future it is extremely important that he has a digital development close to the deal and close to journalism.

Earlier this year scrapped Daily News läsplattetidningen DN + and replaced it with an app. A decision that was met with harsh criticism from readers.

– From the reactions I understood that many see it as “their” product. We evokes much emotion and belonging, what we do is big part of people’s everyday lives. Therefore, we must have respect towards the readers. In the case of DN +, we thought we had communicated the change, but that we had obviously not.

For similar things from happening in the future have the Daily News in the fall started dn.ide.se – a blog to increase transparency and to invite anyone interested in Dagens Nyheter’s digital development. The hope of the project is to help readers become better magazine digitally.

– It has gone well. The idea is we should not sit internally and thinking what readers want, and then launch a product with a bang, as can be. Therefore, we invite stakeholders.

What international newspapers inspires you?

– The Guardian is one of those one often looks at international level. Even American Buzzfeed, The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. But the language makes us all the time in Sweden has less of an area to move on. We never get the same numbers as a broadsheet newspaper or as German Bild.

What will you do this weekend?

– It is peaceful and relaxing. I have many children, so I will be with them. It will include gymnastics training. Then I hope I have time to move on myself, and mother in law’s birthday.
