Honda Racing Launches NSF250R Commercial Road Racing Machine

TOKYO, Japan, June 2, 2011 — Honda Racing Corporation will launch the NSF250R, a newly developed machine for the Moto3 class that will be added to the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix (WGP) in 2012. Sales of the new vehicle are planned to start in December 2011.

In developing the NSF250R, Honda took the “Next Racing Standard” as its development concept and reaped the benefits of racing technology cultivated in the RS125R, thereby achieving a high-level combination of outstanding controllability and racing competitiveness.
The liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder, DOHC, 249 cc engine was specifically designed for Moto3 to be lightweight and compact while delivering high output. To achieve this high output together with excellent responsiveness, the machine incorporates a front-intake/rear-exhaust configuration with high charging efficiency, while adopting a layout with the cylinder tilted back 15° to concentrate mass.

To ensure power delivery all the way through to the high rpm range, the NSF250R adopts titanium valves for both the intake and exhaust to reduce friction. Furthermore, the design reduces friction between piston and cylinder and improves durability by offsetting the cylinder centerline and applying nickel silicon carbide (Ni-SiC) for the cylinder surface treatment. The easily replaceable cassette design selected for the close-ratio 6-speed transmission, allows gear selection to be optimized over a large variety of racing circuits.

The frame ensures a degree of freedom in cornering and nimbleness that matches and goes beyond the RS125R by revising the rigidity balance and the shape while inheriting the compactness of the RS125R. Even though the basic structure of the front and rear suspension is the same as the RS125R, the NSF250R-exclusive settings produce a machine with excellent riding stability.

The cowling makes the NSF250R the equal of the RS125R in aerodynamic performance, while a cooling duct on the under cowl improves the engine’s cooling performance.

As a new-generation road racing machine that complies with Moto3 regulations, the NSF250R will help revitalize road racing while meeting the expectations of road racers.

Designing the 21st Century Aerospace Vehicle - Opening the Door to a New Era in Flight

Advanced aerospace vehicles are key to national security, transportation, mobility, freedom, and our quality of life. The answer to ensuring the continued viability of aviation is not through evolutionary or near-term approaches alone, but through careful development of revolutionary, long-term approaches utilizing emerging technologies. The significant advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information technology are opening the door to a new era in aircraft development resulting in designs that will be radically different from today's aircraft.

Aircraft of the future will not be built of traditional, multiple, mechanically connected parts and systems. Instead, aircraft wing construction will employ fully integrated, embedded "smart" materials and actuators that will enable aircraft wings with unprecedented levels of aerodynamic efficiencies and aircraft control.

Able to respond to the constantly varying conditions of flight, sensors will act like the "nerves" in a bird's wing and will measure the pressure over the entire surface of the wing. The response to these measurements will direct actuators, which will function like the bird's wing "muscles." Just as a bird instinctively uses different feathers on its wings to control its flight, the actuators will change the shape of the aircraft's wings to continually optimize flying conditions. Active flow control effectors will help mitigate adverse aircraft motions when turbulent air conditions are encountered.

Intelligent systems composed of these sensors, actuators, microprocessors, and adaptive controls will provide an effective "central nervous system" for stimulating the structure to effect an adaptive "physical response." The central nervous system will provide many advantages over current technologies. Proposed 21st Century Aerospace Vehicles will be able to monitor their own performance, environment, and even their operators in order to improve safety and fuel efficiency, and minimize airframe noise. They will also have systems that will allow for safe takeoffs and landings from short airfields enabling access to this country's more than 5,400 rural/regional airports.

Researchers at NASA Langley Research Center are taking the lead to explore these advanced vehicle concepts and revolutionary new technologies. New analysis methodologies are being formulated to model and predict the best locations for sensors and actuators. Cooperative ventures with industry and other government agencies will be key to the project. Specific technology areas of study include ground-to-flight scaling, reliability-based design, adaptive flow control, robust controls, and autonomic vehicle functions.

2011 Ford Mustang Breaks Cover at NAIAS

At this year’s NAIAS in Detroit, Ford took the wraps off their new 5.0-liter V8-powered 2011 Ford Mustang GT. Known for its muscle, the 412hp output and the 390 ft-lb of torque (increased with 97hp and 65 ft-lb torqu from the 4.6 liter version), helps the Mustang GT go naught to 60mph in just under 4.7 seconds. As a standard the car comes with a six speed automatic gearbox that manages a 17/25mpg rating, but doesn’t forget those willing to shift themselves and have added the option for a six speed manual gearbox.

The new 2011 Ford Mustang GT includes new suspensions, an aerodynamic rear deck lid and an electronic power-assisted steering for a great driving experience. As the car has more power now, everyone assumed that brembo brakes would be included in the standard edition, but surprisingly one has to buy them separately.

No word regarding price for the new 2011 Ford Mustang.

CES 2011: Motorola unveils new line of devices with Xoom, Atrix

Motorola gave audiences at CES 2011 a peak at their new tablet, the Xoom. Rob Pegoraro gives us a closer look at the supposed iPad-killer:

The most promising iPad competitor at CES may be Motorola's Xoom, but it's a little too soon to write that in pen instead of pencil. I got a quick tour of this Android tablet computer at Motorola's booth this afternoon that both outlined what could make it an effective rival to Apple's bestseller and left reasons to think it might not do the trick.

In its favor, the 1.5-lb. Xoom--pronounced "zoom" and written by Motorola in all-caps--offers a slightly larger screen than the iPad, at 10.1 inches versus the Apple tablet's 9.7, and with a higher 1280-by-720 pixel resolution than the iPad's 1024-by-768 resolution. It includes both a 2-megapixel camera on the front and a 5-MP camera on the back, combined with Google's own Google Talk video-calling software built in. That should be a step up from the third-party applications and services bundled by other vendors.

At the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas Motorola wowed attendees with their smartphone-turned laptop, the Atrix. Hayley Tsukayama profiled the new device:

It's a smartphone. It's a computer. It's the Atrix! Motorola's getting a lot of press this morning after announcing its much-hyped competitor to the iPad, the Xoom. But the Atrix, also unveiled at Motorola's press conference yesterday, is generating quite a lot of buzz as well.

The novel idea behind the Atrix is that it's a smartphone that plugs into the shell of a laptop. Unlike the doomed Palm Foleo, which synced a computer with a Palm Treo, all the computing power in the Atrix is in the smartphone.

The phone, which Motorola is calling the "world's most powerful smartphone," has some great guts: an NVIDIA Tegra 2, four-inch display, a front-facing camera and a rear-facing 5MP camera, 1 GB RAM, 16GB on-board memory, and a microSD card slot. It runs Android 2.2 FroYo. The laptop, which is being dubbed a "webtop," has an 11.6-inch display, two USB ports and a full keyboard.

peti mati dengan layar lcd dan fitur hp

Pertama kali ngeliat lumayan serem juga. Sempat saya berpikir, orang-orang jaman sekarang udah tambah stress atau terlalu pintar ya? Sampai-sampai teknologi yang dibuat semakin aneh-aneh saja. Mungkin udah kebanyakan ide baru kali ya?hehehe...

Sewaktu berjalan-jalan didesa mbah google dan nyari info-info unik tentang teknologi, saya lumayan agak gumun (bahasa Indonesianya, heran) dengan info teknologi yang satu ini.
Info ini saya dapatkan dari Terbaru 2011. Di negara USA (Amerika Serikat, red) baru-baru ini terdapat sebuah teknologi. Tapi teknologinya gak ada hubungannya sama kehidupan orang yang masih hidup alias berhubungan sama orang yang udah meninggal. Ini membuktikan bahwa teknologi gak hanya penting buat yang masih hidup, tapi bagi yang sudah meninggalpun memerlukan yang namanya teknologi.

Teknologi yang dari tadi saya bicarain panjang lebar tanpa arah yaitu teknologi peti mati. Peti mati ini dikatakan oleh sumbernya, merupakan peti mati yang sangat canggih, sebuah peti mati yang biasanya hanya terbuat dari sebongkah kayu tetapi yang satu ini merupakan suatu peti mati yang super canggih.

Peti mati ini dilengakapi dengan layar LCD dan HP layar sentuh, dilangsir harga peti mati ini adalah seharga $381.000. Wah lumayan mahal untuk seorang mahasiswa yang bertempat di kost-kostan seperti saya yang hanya mengandalkan kiriman dari orang tua.hehe... Peti mati ini rencananya akan dipamerkan di kota Verona Italia.

synaptics clearpad 3000

Jika anda memperhatikan, teknologi yang ada di layar sentuh semakin berkembang dan semakin sensitif sehingga mudah dioperasikan tetapi sadar atau tidak bahwa teknologi yang ada hanya bisa menangani satu/ dua sentuhan jari saja, betul engga??

Kabar baiknya, dalam waktu dekat, teknologi layar sentuh dapat menangani 10 jari sekaligus (Multi Touch) untuk memudahkan penggunaan dan lainnya.



Synaptics ClearPad 3000 adalah sebuah teknologi layar sentuh yang bisa mengenali 10 jari sekaligus yang ditempelkan di sebuah layar sentuh.

ClearPad 3000 nantinya akan diaplikasikan ke ponsel-ponsel teknologi tinggi (alias mahal) dan beberapa alat elektronik lainnya yang pastinya juga mahal. :-)

Teknologi ClearPad 3000 ini bisa digunakan ke seluruh jenis layar sentuh sampai ukuran 8 inch.

Sebenarnya kami sendiri masih bingung apa perlu sampai menggunakan teknologi layar sentuh yang bisa mengenali 10 jari secara bersamaan karena bila bicara untuk ponsel, sepertinya satu jari sudah lebih dari cukup, memangnya mau mengetik dengan 10 jari melalui virtual keyboard yang imut itu? :D

Anyway, kita tunggu saja sejauh mana teknologi ClearPad 3000 dapat berguna di sebuah ponsel.
