Hitachi shows a lithium-Ion battery with 10 years battery life

December 8th, 2010

Hitachi has created a rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell that battery life of more than 10 years.

HITACHI-e1277756957707

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) are found in consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops, Hitachi said the new technology lead for the first time in batteries for electric vehicles and industrial wind parks.

Although Li-ion Laptop battery is about four times the power density than lead acid batteries, the relatively high cost and less than five years, life is not favorable for the great tasks and schedules in batteries, lead acid batteries up to 10 years before the can spare.

The company said on Monday had developed a new oxide composite material – a lithium-manganese spinel (LiMn204) – to the cathode of the Dell inspiron 1440 battery , improving their resistance to acid in the electrolyte, an important determinant of life. It also reduces the formation of crystals in the electrolyte, which also shortens the life of a battery.

Although the company is not all the details about these changes unless said that the cathode consists mainly of manganese in place of the commonly used cobalt, manganese is to get a lot easier, but so far there has been enough of this battery chemistry.

The Dell GD761 battery was a prototype with Shin-Kobe Electric Machinery Co Ltd and in cooperation with the New Energy of the Japanese Government and the Industrial Technology Development Organization established to promote research of energy produced. Hitachi has not indicated when the battery would go into production.

Hitachi, which has its fourth annual loss for the year ended 31 Reported in March, has said it will return to focus on green businesses, including batteries for electric vehicles as part of its plan to profitability.

Last year, researchers said at the Technical University of Graz in Austria, it was a silicone gel that make Li-ion batteries 10 times more efficient could be developed.

Sharing Folders Windows XP

December 1st, 2010

Windows XP operating system is certainly still used, even within departments. Let’s see how to create a network to share folders between two computers with these operating systems. The only requirement is that the PC must be connected together via LAN or wireless.

xp-condivisione_cartelle

The first step is to verify that the computers belong to the same workgroup. We click with the right-click “My Computer / Properties / Computer Name”, we click the Change button to change the name of our computer or workgroup.

To share a folder , just click on it with the right mouse button and choose “Sharing and Security.” Select “Share this folder on the network.” Users currently can only read, open on their computer or copy files to the folder in common. If you also select “Allow network users to change my files”, then the amendments will be allowed.

You can now see the folders shared by the connected PC by going to: My Network Places / View workgroup computers / pc_utente.

To share, however, a printermust first be installed and connected to either computer. Then click on Start -> Printers and Faxes. We click the right button on the printer and select Sharing. In the dialog box that will have to click on Share this printer on the network.

To check the printer the other computer, just click on “Add Printer” and follow the automatic installation process. The only difference from the installation of a physical printer is that you must click search network printer instead of a local printer.

Obviously, in order to operate the printer from computer B, if it is installed on computer A, you need your computer to be turned on and placed online.

Download mp3 free software

November 25th, 2010

Who said you to download mp3 we must have suitable software such as eMule, BitTorrent or Limewire?

Far from it! It can only do our browser, because, the depths of the web, are full of these delights media. … You just need to be experienced sailors!

mp3

Yes, it is true that the above mentioned programs are good, no one doubts that, but we are often looking for one song, one song, and use these programs, as well as a bit ‘apprenticeship and various tweakability settings with more or less gone, it needs a minimum of mastery, if we take advantage of them.

Today, therefore, we bring to the attention of an interesting method, which we believe will surprise positively.

Seeqpod. This is the name of an online radio station, one of many that populate the world of the web, through which you can search our favorite songs via a convenient search bar. Its operation does not differ much from other applications like this: search for songs, add them to our playlist, and listen, or to use the appropriate code embed to put it on websites or blogs. Even this could be a valid reason for adding to our list of favorite Seeqpod.

But we want more, much more. We want to have the mp3 on your hard disk. If you sharpen a bit ‘view, we can notice that every song listed after our research also shows a’ url. This is none other than the address of the site hosting the mp3 in question. In fact, the Seeqpod’s database (which is well stocked, including Italian songs) is not made up of songs on your own server, but these are “caught” by external sites.

Then realized the trick?

Bsterà simply type the URL in the browser, thereby relieving our song!

Underline type, and copy, because (and this is the only thing boring) see the link is embedded in a ‘flash application, and is therefore not activated the classic copy / paste. Patience. It will lose a handful of seconds more to enter it manually. But our goal we have reached the same :-) !

Common causes of laptop battery failure

November 12th, 2010

All batteries are doomed to fail, stop working, and cease to function, or the end of their useful life. This is the reality of a consumable product. But sometimes the batteries may warp, bubble, and even explode! The batteries can also fail because of incompatible designs or materials misnomer, and batteries can fail due to misuse or abuse to clients.

This cost includes more than 15,000 types of products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or products can hurt children (crèches, toys, etc..) Batteries by their nature are 1 the 15,000 products the CPSC monitors due to the increased implementation of chemistries
IBM Thinkpad x300 battery pack higher energy in smaller packages. Lithium-ion and polymer chemistry lithium metal are thinner, smaller, lighter and models that contain more energy than batteries. These types of battery are excellent choices for small electronic devices requiring larger capacities and specialized equipment to maintain battery to do anything but play as expected in the device.

It is true that sometimes the battery can warp, bubble, and even explode. It is also true that batteries can fail. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were 339 incidents of overheating battery related caterpillars. 339 cases of overheating like a lot, but compared to the same thinkpad x200 tablet battery more than 100 million devices that have been related purchased by consumers since 2003, it represents a very small percentage (, 000003) of all related devices battery on the market.

The reason for overheating battery the point of distortion, bubbles, or explosion is due to one of the following reasons:

1. Poorly selected material of the connector, fuse, charge and discharge FET, cell block, the sense resistor, primary and secondary protection ICs, the IC fuel gauge, thermistor, or the board pc.

2. Non-controlled manufacturing processes, including production facilities mismanaged that lead to cell short circuits, leaks, unreliable connections, sealing quality, low mechanical and contamination.

The battery can also fail due to misuse or abuse to clients. abuse of Sony VGP-BPS9A/B battery can occur in a variety of ways, however, all types of abuse fall battery in the following categories, including altitude simulation, thermal cycling, shock, external short circuits, impact, overcharge, forced discharge.

Finally battery can fail due to abuse of consumption. Embezzlement is different, so that abuse of the abuse of consumer Lenovo 3000 C200 battery is the deliberate disturbance of battery and misuse of battery is a misuse of a consumer involuntary battery. For example, misuse of a common battery tries to use a battery rated and designed for a specific PDA, camera, or iPod model, but battery is a device used for quite different. It may sound funny, but it happened. Why because consumers think that just because the physical footprint, the voltage and capacity are the same as the battery works on multiple devices. It is an error that occurs frequently. To avoid this type of diversion, use only a HP DV6000 battery which is specially designed for the camera model you have and do not share the battery.

Laptop battery maintain advice

October 31st, 2010

Today I came home to get last purchase I made on the internet: a new Compaq presario cq70 battery for my lap-top. The reason is that my standard battery died, or poorly cared (which I doubt). And I could resist, until the autonomy of my laptop down to 10 minutes. Therefore I searched on the net to find some guidelines and tips and avoid the same thing happen again with my new battery. Surely some of the items you surprised, at least I did. Hope you come right this short list.

First of all note that these guidelines be followed only laptop battery type lithium-ion (Li-ion)-which bring all laptops today, as other batteries such as Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) or Nickel-Hydride (Ni-MH), should receive different treatment.

Without further ado, here are those of advice:

Avoid complete charge-discharge common: Despite what many might think, the cycles of complete charge and discharge are harmful to our Compaq presario v3000 battery (based on Li-ion). Formerly it was advised it was used in nickel-based batteries, which had a so-called memory effect that these cycles will come good, but now no longer makes sense to them frequently. There is one exception: although it is not advisable to abuse the above cycles, if it is good to fully discharge the battery and re-charge to 100% from time to time (especially if you have not use it), so that the meters Load internal fit properly.

When not in use for some time, store in a cool place (not in places that can reach high temperatures or be exposed to the sun, like a car). It would also be desirable to keep a certain load (between 40 and 60% is ideal). It is very important not to keep the Compaq presario v4000 battery fully discharged for a long period of time, as it could stop working.

It is not harmful to use your laptop connected to the mains while we have the battery inserted in it. Also so we have a small UPS equipment that will save our work possible cuts. However, just as in the previous paragraph mentioned how bad it is to keep the battery fully discharged, is strongly discouraged (very bad) to maintain the battery at 100% forever. Therefore, although it is not bad to use the laptop plugged in and the Compaq presario v6000 battery in place, the ideal is to disconnect the charger when the battery is above 90% and reconnect when about 10%. The battery will last longer if you move (ie, uploads and downloads) that if you use little.

These three tips will come in handy, I’m sure.
