Stockholm Bypass: The freeze will cost at least four months – New Technology

Construction, freezing and earlier restart. The bids around one billion project Stockholm bypass have been many. This week draws the work started again, but it will be some time before it’s full speed ahead on the construction project.

The snow whirls across the fields on the north Lovön, outside Stockholm, while an excavator takes up a scoop of soil. This makes giant construction Stockholm Bypass restart – a modest scale.

Highway Project Stockholm bypass was stopped temporarily in October, when the new government wanted to negotiate a reallocation of resources from the congestion charge to public transport. When was the commandment that construction work would be frozen until May 1

But in December, the government announced that the bourgeois-controlled county council did not want discuss any redistribution. This made the announcement to the Finnish Transport Agency that construction would resume on 1 January.

Exactly how much additional cost that the freeze will involve analyzing the Transport Administration still. The assessment so far is about a delay of between four and ten months.

Before construction was halted ongoing preparatory construction work, especially ledningsomdragningar, before the large contracts. When work stopped relocated many employees and equipment to other missions. Therefore, the restart will take place gradually, as these can come back. Full staffing counts Transport Administration’s project manager for passing, Johan Brantmark, with safety being of all suppliers when spring is over.

– I hope and believe that it can go faster than that, he says.

The first to come back to the bypass is Svevia, as in Monday had three construction workers and a couple of subcontractors to work on Lovön.

– It feels wonderful! We enjoyed it so good here, out in nature and you avoid all the cars, says Patrik “Putte” Karlsson, construction workers on Svevia, about being back again.

Here a forest road widened and strengthened so that it can function as a transport route for heavy machinery. Construction workers think it was odd that the red-green government froze construction.

– I think the stop was unnecessary, it was just a dearth says Göran Pour, a truck driver from Drottningholm construction.

Svevia has been forced to perform some duplication jobs because of the government’s various decisions about the project. At the Coop in Vinsta had the asphalt just been torn up for pulling on wires before the tunnel work when construction was frozen. Then got Svevia fill in the holes and put new asphalt on top, without having had time to bring down the new lines. Now when construction resumes must work redone.

– It feels weird half. But it’s fun nonetheless it kicks off, says Per Danielsson, Svevia site manager.

Even here on Lovön will Svevia to get redo some work, since material piles were cleared and storage areas were restored when the project was frozen.

Per Danielsson believes that duplication overall, will take about six weeks.

He himself during freezing started working as site manager on a project in Flemingsberg, where a crossing to be moved . During the next two months, he expects that it will lead both projects, since there will be little activity on Lovön. But since he does not know quite how supervisors should be solved.

It will take about two or three months before Bypass project has the full team again on the preliminary construction work on Lovön.

Roland Ekenberg, Transport Administration project manager for the tunnel works on Lovön, see problems with the politicians mixed messages about passing.

– To stop a project goes fast, but to launch again when you are not prepared, it creates difficulties. This first day is not effective immediately. It is very much job to do out here, and every delay is a concern, he said.

The big construction jobs are expected to start in autumn mainly interchange at King’s curve and a tunnel in Johannelund. What are the entrepreneurs who get commissions should Transport Administration decide this summer.

Stockholm Bypass includes several smaller construction contracts and eleven large, exceeding one billion each. Most of these are planned in motion during 2016.

Students learn to count with digital technology – Göteborgs-Posten

Nearly a year ago, over 5000 students in Angered respective tablet. Now, many of them learn to count using a new math program, where they are counting on the plate instead of the exercise book.

In March last year GP wrote about the initiative on the iPad in Angered schools, which were met with reluctance among some teachers and parents.

– But now we briskly forward. When teachers see all the children sit and work on each device so provides resistance budge, says Tiina Salmela, business developer ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in the SDF Angered.

She describes that when lärplattorna was awarded a third of teachers enthusiastic, one-third were between them, and a third had it harder. But now most of the benefits and opportunities.

Dr Gustavsson, chief safety for Teachers’ Association, agrees that lärplattorna perceived differently by teachers.

– There is full range of places where they work perfectly exemplary, to others where the plate is mostly used as a toy and enables students do not want to come in after the break, she says.

Kikora

Last year, said the union that decision and purchase of Ipads went too fast, they knew neither what they would be filled with or how they would be used. A new study materials are on the way now: the software Kikora. It has been purchased for grades 4-9 and allows students to avoid exercise book in math. Instead, the exercises on the iPad.

– Mathematics requires practice, and it is easier if it is pleasurable. It’s great for those who are a little afraid of mathematics and happy shouts to the teacher when things get difficult, says Tiina Salmela.

– Students should still cry for the teacher, but not to confirm each step. Can you at once confirmation that the step was quite dare to continue.

In addition, the teacher sees which items have been difficult for the class as a whole and that requires a new review.

Some have already jumped the gun with the program.

– When I checked, I was amazed: many math problems were solved between the hours of 16 and 22. Students sat at home in the evening and counted, says Tiina Salmela .

A school that already has previously acquired Kikora is Monk Gärde School in Kungälv.

– We are satisfied, says Rector Malin Frykman. But for students and parents, it was a culture shock when we removed the math book. We got hold information evenings for parents, which we should have done from the beginning.

– Sweden’s poor performance in the PISA survey may be due in part textbook fixation. The textbook does not stimulate thinking, which, however this teaching material does.

Facts: Norwegian programs

* Kikora is a digital learning materials originating in Norway.

* 45 teachers in Angered receive on Wednesday a three-hour training tool.

* The schools in Angered will be pilots for a language venture, where räkneuppgifterna not only described in Swedish but also in Arabic and Somali, targeting the newly arrived students.

* The cost of the SDF Angered, according to Tiina Salmela SEK 75 000 for 1500 students in grades 4-9.

NATO debate did not occur at the talks in Salen – New Technology

I expect that the question of an investigation into possible NATO membership pop up during the talks. But today, we have not discussed it. New Technology today met Secretary of State January Sale Strand, leading government party talks on the future of defense.

(New Technology / Salen) After a windy night at Högfjället in Salen – where the Society and Defence National Conference in progress – met with the defense minister’s closest man, Jan Sale Strand this morning six of parliamentary parties for talks about the upcoming so-called orientation bill for the defense.

The proposal will form the basis for a parliamentary decision on how the Swedish armed forces should look like in the years 2016 to 2020. The recent debate about whether the membership of the military alliance NATO should be investigated, were raised at today’s meeting, stating Sale Beach for New Technology.

He is, however, acknowledge that it is likely to emerge over the continued talks this spring. The issue has come “rapidly”, he notes.

-It was not envisaged when the Defence Committee submitted its report in May and not during the eight years of conservative government …

The Government’s position on the matter he would not comment today. Instead, he says that Prime Minister Stefan Löfven will explain it during the party leader debate in parliament tomorrow, Wednesday.

At the meeting today it was time for the Commander Sverker Goranson is to produce and review the Armed Forces documentation prior to the Bill .

-Stämningen was very good, describes January Sale Beach.

The parties were invited to the defense deliberations of Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist before Christmas. They now participating in the talks is Allan Widman (FP, Hans Wallmark (M), Mikael Oscarsson (KD) and Daniel Backstrom (C) from the Alliance, and Åsa Lindestam (S) and Jacop Dalunde (MP), from both government parties. This means that the Sweden Democrats and the Left standing outside.

The group will primarily be going through the motions from the Armed Forces, which is based on operational gaming scenarios and different priorities, and a basis from MSB related to emergency preparedness and civil security for the coming years.

Only then will you, as Secretary of State, to discuss other proposals on defense and its operational abilities that parties want to promote. How many meetings to be held is unclear.

-It control the process is that we should leave targeting the bill to Parliament in April, says Jan Sale Strand.

One thing, however, already talked about today is about a future investment in 10 additional new Gripen E plane – in addition to the 60 that the state ordered by Saab – in practice would involve some costs to the State during the period 2016-2020. The additional plan is not expected to be delivered until later in the 2020s. But this should be so is Jan Sale Strand hesitant.

No, I do not think so.

New Technology lists the ten hottest technology trends this year.


     New Technology lists the ten hottest technology trends this year. GRAPHICS: Jonas Askergren.

Everything from drones to DNA sequencing fit in this year’s technology trends, while also urged everyone to think about where Uber available in their own industry. But beware of the malicious code that locks the desktop, mobile or data.

  1. Drone civil service
    better and cheaper sensors combined with powerful image processing software allows small unmanned vehicles are increasingly used in the civil service. In agriculture, they contribute to higher yields through fertilization and irrigation can be controlled precision. Forest companies are planning fell in detail and energy measures quickly up the volume on the chip piles. But there are problems. The more drones in the air, the greater the risk of collisions with aircraft and violation of privacy.
  2. Uber industry X
    The music industry was hit by the digitization already for over ten years ago, but in 2014 it became obvious that digitization will hit wide in all industries. At the time, the areas of education, health care, law, transportation, media, retail and financial sectors. Taxi service Uber has been highlighted as examples of new players that punctures the existing business models, and the question everyone should ask themselves in 2015 are:
    Where is the Uber in my industry?
  3. Smart clothes
    After the smart bracelets come the clothes. With sensors and electronics woven into the fabric needed no training bracelets. Rather than doing workout jersey job. One example is the French D-shirt that launched this year. The technology makes it possible to design clothing that heats, cools, change shape, communicates or captures energy from the environment. Smart bandages, plasters and clothes can monitor patients in health care and even diagnosis.
  4. DNA sequencing breakthrough in health care
    The price for mapping a person’s entire DNA rages. Ten years ago, the price tag of about 100 million. Now it is on the road for 10 000 SEK. This opens the wide use of genkartläggningar in healthcare to quickly diagnose and provide the right person with the right care. In a Swedish pilot test already mapped the genes in cancer patients. The UK has a survey of 100,000 people, with the aim to provide individualized care.
  5. Language barriers are torn
    In December 2014, Microsoft launched direct translation of spoken language Skype, initially between Spanish and English, other languages ​​follow. The service is based on advances in automatic translation, self-learning systems and analysis of spoken language. Because the technology is self-learning, the result is better with time.
    Thus, man is finally on its way to bridge the world’s linguistic confusion which, according to the Old Testament appeared in Babylon.
  6. The virtual reality is here
    When Facebook bought the company Oculus 13 billion in 2014, was forced to game enthusiasts realize that the digital mask Oculus Rift could be interesting for other than gaming. What is new is that you can look around in the virtual reality, and experience everything from personal meetings to shopping and travel. Competitors include Sony’s Morpheus, Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard, Zeiss WR One and Swedish Binopad, but everyone is waiting for the launch of the Oculus Rift.
  7. New Internet
    Connected gadgets – internet of things – continues to be one of the hottest technology trends this year. Making considerable investments industry to standardize how data from millions of sensors to be collected and analyzed. More than 100 companies, including ABB, part of the consortium “Industrial Internet.” In Germany, the work goes under the name of Industry 4.0. The objectives include higher degree of automation, higher efficiency and more flexible production.
  8. Now, this spring the AI ​​
    Since the term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1955, it has often been associated with disappointments. But after the long known as the AI ​​winter, it is now the AI ​​spring. Small and large IT companies are working on technology that self-learning systems and neural networks, and progress is marked. Talking agent Amelia from US IP Soft handle customer service issues without human intervention, and the debate about the machines are taking the jobs have taken off. 2015 will be exciting.
  9. Mobile will wallet
    Getting acquainted of mobile payment in 2014 was the launch of the Apple Pay that allows users to pay in shops without even unlocking the phone, but a number of smaller and larger companies are developing competing services. The wireless technology NFC seems to finally break through and can contribute to the cell phone becomes a real wallet that holds everything from tickets and coupons to door keys. However, keep an eye on the Joker in electronic payment – bitcoin.
  10. IT Security: Passwords and ransoms
    A new security threats in 2015 is known as Ransomware – malicious code that locks computers, mobiles or data, and that criminals use to claim from the owner of a ransom. What is new is that Ransomware enters the cloud. At the same time, the problems with weak passwords finally be resolved with the Protocol Fido U2F, developed by including Swedish Yubico and Google. It is used in a USB key man carries with him – but the key will not access your account.

Terrorist attacks and NATO Membership on defense conference in Salen – New Technology

(New Technology / Salen) disgust at the terrorist attacks in Paris. New monitoring methods will be discussed. At the same time considerable political controversy about NATO membership. Now Population and Defense Conference in Salen in full swing.

-Himlen have cried over Paris in recent days; how do we survive?

Foreign Margot Wallström (S) gave the opening speech today in Salen and then took up last week’s bloody terrorist attacks in Paris – and in Nigeria, where some 20 people were killed in an attack against a popular market yesterday.

– We need a way to manage those returning from the wars in Syria and Iraq, she said, among other things.

Now fast investigates government legislation to be stopping people in Sweden from traveling out to fight in war zones in the world, according to a UN decision. Government Security Policy Council takes up the proposal shortly, revealed Wallström today.

While discussing the government design of the new rules with SAPO.

– The results of the rules must not become counterproductive, says a SAPO Source for New Technology.

Within the EU also discussed “effective common tools” against terrorism and extremism.

Ms Wallström can in the current situation does not give any answer to what these instruments can bring. But monitoring methods may be examined:

– I think in the first instance will start talking about monitoring capabilities. But you also need to put the problem in a larger framework, she says.

Wallström said today that Mona Sahlin, the coordinator when it comes to violent extremism, shortly to be given more resources and powers at their disposal.

The government wants to, inter alia, accelerate the establishment of a hotline, where people are heading overseas to fight or engage in other extreme events, can call for support to abstain.

Even the Centre Annie Loof, Left Jonas Sjöstedt and Liberal Party, Jan Björklund expressed on Sunday sorrow over the attacks in Paris.

SAPO manager Anders Thornberg said in an extraordinary press conference that in recent days “feverishly worked to support the French police “- and to doing everything it can to keep track of groups who worship themselves to violent extremism.

SAPO know today to 130 people who traveled from Sweden to war zones in Syria and Iraq. But which includes a dark figure may reach close to 300 pieces. They collaborate well with signals intelligence authority FRA and with Musts, the military intelligence and security, to gather information about terrorist threats.

SAPO has the past 12-18 months averted two terror attacks in Sweden, said Anders Thornberg. He says he is not able to reveal what was planned.

Must manager Gunnar Karlsson would not comment on how the French secret service could miss attack preparations in France. Generally he says, however, that the criteria for the selection of persons to be monitored can be better.

While at the conference flying start today discussion on whether Sweden should join the Western military alliance NATO.

After the Moderate Party leader Anna Kinberg-Batra played out over the weekend that a government investigation into the membership should be added, opinion is now considerable differences between the political blocs.

All four parties in the Alliance is now said to be behind the requirements for an investigation. While the government parties S and MP says no, like V.

Margot Wallström said today that the Government’s reply is that “nonalignment served Sweden well” – and that there is no reason to change it. Instead, we develop Sweden’s partnership with NATO.

– I think the arguments for NATO membership is weak, I do not see what the problem with nonalignment is, she says.

Annie Loof connected in its Speaking of a new NATO investigation into the so-called December Accord between the Government and the Alliance bloc.

– I assume that the government – after our joint December agreement – is prepared to investigate the pros and cons of NATO membership.

If it becomes necessary with an investigation would Sjöstedt instead hold a referendum on yes or no to Swedish NATO membership.

Futile to seek support for solar cells – New Technology


     Interest in solar cells is steadily increasing. Photo: Sustainable City
     

The queue for the state photovoltaic support is now so long that in practice it is futile to submit a new application today. “The applications now located inside far exceeds the available budget,” says Linus Palm leaves on Energy Agency.

The Agency has approximately 50 million left to allocate in 2015 but this money is not enough.

– Interest in solar cells is increasing all time. But sadly, we must expect long wait if you apply now because it is already so many applications, in turn, waiting, says Linus Palm Leaf, administrator at the Swedish Energy Agency.

Linus Palm leaves do not want to use the word hopeless for new applications, but right now it does not look bright. The Agency has pending applications for far more than there is money for this year.

– What happens to aid in the future is up to Government. It may happen that you get support for new applications, but it may take a few years, he says to new technology.

Since support to investments in photovoltaic systems was introduced in June 2009, the Agency has granted 3000 of 7000 applications nearly 450 million in support. The support may be up to 35 percent of the investment cost.

So far, the Agency has only managed to pay out just under SEK 350 million.

Future air: When are we not armed aggression – New Technology


     Robot 97 is a medium-range missile and part of Sweden’s air defenses. Photo: Armed Forces
     

The appropriations needs to be raised about the Swedish air force to fully cope with the task to resist an armed attack after 2040. Otherwise, get a limited defense. It says the parliamentary Air Defence Committee.

With sustained funding Sweden will have a smaller air defense than what the country needs to completely clear an armed attack 2040th

It feels Air Defence Committee in its final report, a report of over 300 pages about the conditions and objectives of the Swedish air force after 2040, published yesterday.

Inquiry was appointed in 2012 by the Alliance government after Parliament considered that a there A long-term strategy for the development of the Gripen system and air defense will look like in 25 years. The starting point was the same economic level as today.

The report says the committee, however, that the current financial framework is insufficient to meet the future defense development in the outside world.

Instead it proposes a way in which the state assumes a smaller and basic air defense structure, for the protection of the territory, which then could be built.

“The data is then among other things, to detect and reject aircraft that violate Swedish airspace. Such a structure should constitute the foundation and goal of the Air Force for eventually be able to increase defense capability if needed, “writes parliamentarians.

They also concluded that Sweden needs to increase defense cooperation with the Nordic countries, NATO and the EU and individual states to come. Left Party Torbjorn Björlund points in a reservation to the party says no to NATO membership.

One reason for cooperation mentioned, for example, the threat of conventional ballistic missiles and cruise missiles to be. Sweden needs the support of other countries around the anti-missile defense, the Committee believes.

System to discover more advanced missiles developed example of the United States, told The Guardian the other day. We test to a new system that will detect incoming missiles in the future, called JLENS.

The Committee also engage in more R & D and strengthening air defense capability to deal with threats from cyberspace. According to the report holds namely the boundaries between cyberspace, communication systems and sensors blurred. It opens the door for air defense should be able to make use of offensive cyber operations going forward.

In one chapter also describes the ongoing rapid development in territories of air defense to: weapons technology, IT, aerospace, avionics, stealth technology, unmanned and autonomous systems, sensors, materials and nanotechnology and decision support systems.

US experts want to investigate the Air Asia wreckage – New Technology

The French accident investigators and technicians from aircraft manufacturer Airbus is involved in the search for the downed Air Asia plane’s black boxes. At the same time requires US experts to participate in accident investigation.

( Updated) After that the tail of the crashed passenger plane QZ8501 yesterday found in the Java Sea raises hopes of being able to locate the plane’s black boxes, where the recording equipment available. The contents of the drawers can thus provide answers to what caused the crash.

According to Reuters, they shall be placed behind a door on the right side of the tail. There is a risk, however, that the rear portion broken apart, and that only part of it may have been located.

The search boxes is in collaboration with accident investigators from the BEA, the French Accident Investigation Commission, with the support of technicians from Airbus, the Franco-German manufacturer of the plane, which uses hydrophones to locate the “ping” which boxes to send out when they end up in the water.

The plane is an Airbus 320-200. The model is frequently used around the world and manufacturing takes place including in Toulouse, France.

jet engines made by CFM however, more international, a company half-owned by the US giant General Electric and Snecma, a subsidiary of the French engine manufacturer Safran.

While the French experts are involved assisting the Indonesian Commission of Inquiry NTSC, who leads the technical studies, reported US experts be surprised that they have not been invited to participate in the investigation.

The engines on board was also certified or accredited by US authorities.

Rick Kennedy, a representative of General Electric, said last Wednesday to:

We expect fully to be included in the investigation team.

Indonesiska authorities stated, however, like to wait a possible decision to bring in additional investigators until the aircraft wreckage salvaged from the seabed.

Samtidigt has signaled that it may eventually come to include the American engine experts.

According to data plane was equipped to transmit so-called ACARS messages that can send details about the flight. ACARS stands for Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System.

Such messages are used both to investigate the cause of accident, and to locate the Air France plane – an Airbus larger model (A330 – 200), in relation to Air Asia now crashed plane – which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil in 2005.

But according to data shall airline Air Asia have had no subscriptions to the system.

Divers have during the day been looking for the drawers in the area where the tail was found. But underwater currents and poor visibility hampers sökarbetet, and divers have mostly only found parts of the interior and luggage department, according to a report from Air Asia.

As revealed the false base stations – New Technology


     Aftenposten shows in a technical report how they investigated the occurrence of false base stations, or so-called IMSI-catcher, in central Oslo. Photo: Aftenposten
     

Aftenposten published on Wednesday all the raw data of their measurements of false base stations in central Oslo.

Aftenposten put in goes out the technical file have been used in the revelation that the false base stations, or so-called IMSI-catcher, in central Oslo on the newspaper’s website.

The magazine’s editor in chief Eskil Egil Hansen says in a statement that the purpose is to give the public an insight into how the newspaper proceeded.

The conclusion of the work presented in several articles from December 12 last year is that it most likely occurred interception of mobiles that existed in the area around the Storting, the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Defense and Oslo financial centers over a period of October-December.

New measurements that the newspaper did 22 December shows that the false base stations now shut down.

Eskil Egil Hansen hope now that the newspaper’s publication of the extensive technical material to give the editors New clues which in turn can answer the question who or which actors were behind the interception. It is likely that equipment belonged to different players, according to Aftenposten.

The surveys also described in detail in a technical report.

This has been done is to measure and define the signals that are different from normal signals from base stations operators. This has been possible through the German mobile Crypto Phone 500 – working to reveal eavesdropping, and with the help of GPS data and constructed espionage equipment Falcon II.

Security experts from Aeger Group and CEPIA Technology has participated in the surveys.

Many of the discrepancies have been found in signal conditions have been natural, technical explanations after Aftenposten contacted including antenna researchers, police and operators.

But 122 results of 470 in the period October 10-November 21 is defined by Crypto Phone mobile phone as “very suspicious”.

The equipment that we used is described to be a demonstration edition of the Norwegian supplier Multisys.

The cell phone is a converted Samsung Galaxy whose software has been replaced with secure software that can analyze radio signals and manipulations of the cell phone. For example, it can check if the mobile encryption is turned off or if traffic is disconnected from the mobile networks, 3G and 4G and down to the 2G network. The latter suggests that the false base stations are in circulation.

Eskil Egil Hansen also believes that there are deficiencies in official work when it comes to reveal similar interception of Norwegian citizens, and calls the phenomenon “ansvarspulvrisering.”

Norwegian Justice Minister Anders Anundsen said yesterday in the Storting that a working group now be added between the authorities and he told me that Norwegian security police PST on tap sought for such base stations.

On Tuesday opened CES is finally up properly when everyone was given access – and the definite feeling was that everyone was there. To call the show for “popular” is to operate and to say that it’s easy to get around is to exaggerate.


Vilket naturally also means that the different exhibitors tagged up. Solidly. And that’s where you can see the width. Sure, it’s fun to go by Toshiba and look at their new super-spectacle (a bit dreary), or to look at Sony’s new super-thin 4K displays (quite impressive).


But there is almost everything else that makes it worthwhile. Smaller places where drones flying around, where some excited talk about why their headphones are better than everyone else even though no one listens.


Or, for that matter presents a high-tech pot or what is touted as the world’s best massage chair.

Not because it’s something to laugh about, however. Above all, do not massage chair that Nyheter24 hereby without much doubt (or knowledge of the subject) confirms is the world’s best. It’s a bit like getting ten different massages at once.


So what is it that visiting CES? Well, stereotypical enough, most of the visitors males in their “best years”.

Which sadly is reflected in the way that many, especially the smaller ones, choose to market their diverse products. “Selling gadget with girl” is absolutely nothing strange at CES. It is rather the norm, and further proof that the technology industry still has a bit to wander.

doubted whether it can walk around and listen to some of the jargon of those who pass the different exhibitors. “Ho-ho-level” is sky high.

Something that made the finish of the day when Intel CEO Brian Krzanich during an acclaimed key note speech announced that the company will add large amounts ($ 300 million) to make more room for women and underrepresented minorities in the gaming industry even more refreshing.

On the big consumer electronics CES in Las Vegas showed Intel CEO Brian Krzanich off her new computer module Curie.

The module is small as a button and energy-efficient to be used in Fitted technology gadgets such as clothing , eyewear and watches.

Intel, which was never big on processors for phones and tablets, hoping to become a player to be reckoned with in gadgets for korppsnära technology, or wearables that stuff is called in English the media. It is still gadgets for fitness and wellness services that dominate the market for Fitted technology.

Curie based on a low-power version of Intel’s Quark Processor 32-bit, has a flash memory of 384 KB and support for accelerometer, gyro meter and a lågenergivariant Bluetooth. Curie module will begin during the second half of 2015. Somewhat price was not revealed.

Even a year ago, Intel showed that they were serious with emphasis on products for Fitted technology. At CES 2014 was launched computer module Edison, the size of an SD card, but also a smart watch, a baby monitor and a pair of earphones with built-in sensors that measure heart rate and speed. An unusual prank on a processor manufacturers, but Intel wanted to show the potential of their new venture.

ABI Research expects that it sold nearly 500 million gadgets a year Fitted technology within four years.

All TV manufacturers want to be the best at 4K – Aftonbladet

Las Vegas. The new high definition television technology 4K own.

The TV manufacturers are fighting to prove that right they have the best image quality.

And new partnerships can provide even more content with better picture.

The Samsung keeps on his new Galaxy S6 that will compete with Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Many in the industry had anticipated that Samsung would take the opportunity to showcase the new cell phone when invited to one of its Unpacked-events the day before CES show opens to visitors.

But of which came to nothing . Rather than focusing on their new Samsung TVs. Which, according to the Korean company should have an unbeatable picture quality. But it says on the other hand, Sony and LG also. Among others.



Fight for being the best

The new TV technology 4K with even better picture than full-hd many viewers started to get used to this day is rapidly approaching in 2015 . Last year’s launches were expensive and not so good at dealing with regular television broadcasts with lower image quality. And because the distribution of 4K TVs lingers, manufacturers have instead seen to be better able to scale up the image so that it becomes “almost 4K.”

The Samsung. LG and Sony are fighting to be the best at just that. At a trade show with doctored demos it is difficult to determine a winner. But on the other hand, one can observe that they generally become better at scaling up content so that buyers of 4K TVs get more joy from their investment.



Prices fall

In addition, it looks like if prices will fall slightly, which can attract more people to replace the existing flat TV at home.

The Samsung has also helped to launch a cooperation with other TV manufacturers and various companies in the film industry as Sony, Panasonic and Sharp, as well as content providers such as Disney, Fox, Warner Bros., Netflix, DIRECTV, Dolby and Technicolor. The goal of the partnership is to increase the amount of 4K content so that buyers of the new displays will get a wider selection of content tailored for the new technology.



1.4 billion in revenue

On Tuesday evening Swedish time opens the CES show for visitors. It is estimated over 150 000 visitors of which 30,000 from countries other than the United States. For the city of Las Vegas is fair hosted gold.

According to the calculations presented by the local television station Fox5 fair will generate revenues amounting to 1.4 billion during the four days it is open.

Borrow from each other – and save energy – New Technology


     ÖrebroBostäder have developed their own systems for building with standard parts from the industry. Here is Jonas Tanner City, head of the electrical and automation of ÖrebroBostäder, the encoder’s brain, PLC, sitting in an automation cabinets in each house.

New technologies offer new opportunities to measure and visualize energy consumption, saving money. This motivates more people to invest in smart energy-saving automated solutions. One way is to work cross-industry. Real estate business can borrow solutions from industry and vice versa.

The experts in Automationsnästet offer advice on the options available today and how we can achieve greater profitability through smart energy efficiency.

Responsible for energy efficiency unit within ABB Sweden.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?

Yes, it is commonly known. Everyone knows that there is great potential, but then the question is what resources are available and how priority matter. Often, budget control and then ends up other issues higher on the agenda. There is considerable knowledge of the various industries, but if there is no owner of the question, it is difficult to get the knowledge. There is a need for clearer accountability at the management level in order to exploit the full potential of existing energy efficiency.

second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?

A key issue for successful energy work is the dissemination of knowledge through networking, participation in research projects and sharing of best Practice. However, technology is only a part. The need for knowledge dissemination to other stakeholders such as banks and politicians and others is extremely important to create an environment where new business models and Ideas and solutions can grow. There is great potential also for collaboration between actors within the same industries, including raising the level of skills as a client.

3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?

In order to exploit the full potential that is linked to energy work, it is important to create a structured approach and a long-term strategy. A game plan needs to be defined based on specific business objectives (such as growth, profitability, environment), legislation and standards. Step two is to appoint a responsible person and an organization that will manage the work. A third step is to ensure that you have the right skills for implementation, both internally and externally.

Professor of Energy Engineering, Mälardalen University.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?

I think many are aware that there are often great opportunities to save energy in their activities, but they do not know always what’s most effective for a given action. Automation is often very profitable, but more difficult to assess directly compared with, for example, inserting a heat pump or some other “physical” action.

second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?

To have joint research programs with participants across industry limit is something I like scientists believe is effective. To present the results from the action of an industry in the media as other industries reading is another. A third is that people change the industry and brings with him experience and implement measures from the process industry in the real estate industry.

3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?

Looking good examples on the internet is always a good way to go. To speak with researchers in different industry sectors or attend conferences another. It may be helpful to begin with a study of ex-laborer, scientists and other experts helps with a first overview. For automation solutions may also enter production efficiency and better production quality, which can save energy indirectly by distributing the energy of other products or through reduced waste.

Head Electric & amp; Automation, ÖrebroBostäder.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?

No, the potential is not known and it is because the responsible overly relaxing energy efficiency investment in new systems to replace the old one. The great potential is

in getting the systems they already have functioning properly. We reach a power consumption that is 34 percent lower compared to our base year 2005.

second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?

In industry, there are often culture and structures that are valuable to the real estate industry, for example, the view of system knowledge. At the automation of an industrial process is often based on a holistic, something which is lacking in similar work in real estate. It is one of the explanations for the unexploited potential for energy efficiency in the real estate industry; that the various member functions in the houses do not work optimally together.

3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?

Dare to try! The real estate industry is facing a technological paradigm shift. Traditional automation solutions with its limitations will soon be just a memory. My advice to all property owners is that for the next automation project stop, reconsider a decision in favor of industrial automation solutions. Enlist the help of proven experience, there are currently groupings among the major property owners where there are exchanged experiences. I belong to a part and communicates love to my thoughts.
