(PhysOrg.com) -- European researchers have created a world-leading camera in CMOS that can record photons at a million times a second. Best of all, it will be really cheap to manufacture, offering applications in consumer products, entertainment and in-car safety systems. http://www.physorg.com/news174731021.html Technology Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:24:11 EST news174731021 (PhysOrg.com) -- A team of Penn State engineering students recently took delivery of a 2009 Saturn Vue that will be used in an advanced vehicle technology engineering contest sponsored by the Department of Energy and General Motors. http://www.physorg.com/news174144394.html Technology Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:30:04 EST news174144394 Educators should learn a thing or two from the Just-In-Time and Lean production techniques used by the automotive industry if they are to add value to the student experience as quickly and effectively as possible. That's the conclusion of a report published in the International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management. http://www.physorg.com/news173367061.html Other Sciences Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:50:05 EST news173367061 New research by the University of Warwick Institute for Employment Research shows that says West  Midlands is bearing brunt of recession in the UK and is the region that will take longest to recover. http://www.physorg.com/news172239589.html Other Sciences Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:40:01 EST news172239589 A new study by researchers from the Automotive Safety Program at Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana University School of Medicine published online July 13, 2009 in the journal Pediatrics reports that the parents of children with special health care needs are doing a good job with the selection of the appropriate child car seat but still need help in using it correctly. http://www.physorg.com/news166711553.html Medicine & Health Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:46:23 EST news166711553 The Dutch capital Amsterdam announced Wednesday a cash bonus of up to 1,000 euros (1,400 dollars) for residents who scrap their old cars to buy newer, environmentally friendly ones. http://www.physorg.com/news165678746.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:10:04 EST news165678746 Global semiconductor sales declined 25 percent in April compared with a year ago but rose 6.4 percent over the previous month, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported Monday. http://www.physorg.com/news163072566.html Technology Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:56:46 EST news163072566 Researchers have developed a technology that detects damage to critical suspension components in military vehicles simply by driving over a speed bumplike "diagnostic cleat" containing sensors. http://www.physorg.com/news158856565.html Technology Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:50:14 EST news158856565 Japanese hi-tech giant Hitachi Ltd. said Monday that it was replacing its president and splitting off its automotive systems and consumer electronics operations as it braces for a massive loss. http://www.physorg.com/news156407118.html Technology Mon, 16 Mar 2009 07:25:54 EST news156407118 (PhysOrg.com) -- Computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices regularly download software updates to keep obsolescence at bay. That`s not the norm for cars. But that could change thanks to an automotive software architecture developed by European researchers to keep vehicles up to date with the latest technology. http://www.physorg.com/news154192818.html Technology Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:21:11 EST news154192818 Automotive-engineering graduate students at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) collaborated with a unique vehicle development company to design an automotive suspension system that can handle speeds in excess of 240 mph. http://www.physorg.com/news151764910.html Technology Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:55:31 EST news151764910 The EUREKA (Belgium) i-StARS project is developing a compact, fully integrated and low-cost start-stop system for cars to replace conventional alternators in mass production. This second-generation starter alternator reversible system (StARS) is intended to enable the European automotive industry to meet new EU emissions legislation and significantly reduce fuel consumption without needing to redesign the engine. Additionally, it will fulfil global demands for more energy-efficient vehicles. Market forecasts indicate some one million vehicles a year will be using these systems by 2010 with a 4% penetration rate worldwide in the automotive market for such micro-hybrid applications in 2015. http://www.physorg.com/news151241951.html Technology Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:39:11 EST news151241951 With oil prices at an historic high and global concern about vehicle emissions, consumer demand - and the focus in car manufacturing - is shifting to lightweight, low-fuel consumption cars. http://www.physorg.com/news137416839.html Technology Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:20:39 EST news137416839
