I was looking for a cover to protect the contacts of my Pentax K-5 batteries while carrying them in the pocket. The K10D batteries had such a cover to snap on but the K-7/K-5 batteries don’t have that.
So I decided to create my own cover that can be snapped to the bottom of the battery.
As a special feature, it has embossed labels “empty” and “full” each on one side of the cover. These labels together with the little arrow on the top of the battery can be used to distinguish used from charged batteries.
The cover was created with a 3D printer at shapeways. If you are interested, you can order it at http://www.shapeways.com/shops/birzer

LED lighting is a new technology and as with any type of new technology, there are limited suppliers of really high quality certified LED Lights, for a reasonable price. We are committed to bringing not only the best quality globes to our consumers, but at a very competitive price.
There are four overwhelming reasons to switch to LED lighting with Beyomon.
The immediate benefits you will notice running LED lighting, is the amount of savings you will have over long periods of time. With power bills increasing every year, you can't afford to stick with standard and costly halogen, CFL and incandescent lighting - There's simply no excuse.
Your current conventional lighting is literally chewing up power, and that will most certainly be noticeable on your Electricity bills. LED Lighting will drastically reduce your power costs as well as decrease carbon emissions.
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode and is an electronic light source. Most lighting found in Sri Lankan homes and offices today are very inefficient costing homeowners bucket loads of money as well as emitting vast amount of CO2 into our atmosphere killing our beautiful environment.
LED lighting is a viable replacement for existing household and office lighting, just much cheaper to run and better for our environment. There is no reason to wait any longer, get rid of your costly Halogen, CFL and incandescent lighting and switch your globes to LED today.


Tower Engineering’s approach to electrical systems design includes a thorough investigation of the needs of the owner, an analysis of the codes, regulations and utility requirements, and coordination with other architectural and engineering designers. Coordination with other people is crucial since electrical systems interface with systems designed by architects, HVAC engineers, plumbing engineers, food service designs and many other trades.
Our electrical engineering expertise ranges from the design of simple power and lighting systems to complex computer power, emergency power, and technology systems. Since the electrical systems and equipment available vary with regard to first-cost, life-cycle cost, redundancy, and maintainability, we strive to work with each client to determine how each of these factors applies to their unique situation.
Our design capabilities include:


Intelligence: Advanced smart lamp – The seventy series cubes can detect when a lamp is reaching the end of its life expectancy. At this point the display wall pre-heats a spare lamp (on dual lamp systems) 10 minutes before an automatic lamp switch, reducing the risk of black outs on the display screen. Using the same heating process, users can schedule lamp changes automatically so two lamps are being used alternatively. Dynamic colour and brightness balancing – each display wall cube comes equipped with an enhanced “smart” colour wheel which stores its own colour characteristics. When a colour wheel replacement occurs the seventy series cube automatically makes adjustments to the new colour wheel, to ensure consistency of images across the whole screen.
Flexibility: Tailor-made Systems - The Seventy Series line up includes 50” 60” 67” and 80” screen size options that are all fully equipped with the latest features and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a project.
Internal Processing: Optional internal data processing in the new 70 series can display 4 windows on one cube simultaneously, increasing the standalone capability of a Mitsubishi display wall solution.
Auto-balancing: Each Seventy Series display wall cube is equipped with three built-in sensors (one for each primary color) and Dynamic Colour & Brightness Balancing system embedded. Built-in sensors continually monitor the individual red, green and blue outputs of each cube, sharing this data with its neighbors and adjusting performance automatically to maintain an extremely accurate color balance over the entire display. This system maintains the image uniformity of multi configurations of display wall cubes.
Easy Set – Up: Auto-tuning - Mitsubishi’s Seventy Series display wall cubes come equipped with an auto geometry function. A motorized adjustment tool which is equipped with 6 motors can align the image geometry with a remote control or control software that enable “one-person set-up”. Also additional motors can be connected for mirror distortion correction.
Durability: Reducing maintenance and ownership costs the new display walls have an estimated service life of 10 years.
Redundancy: Signal redundancy for mission critical applications.

The iMac could join Apple’s MacBook Pros with a Retina display upgrade.
With Apple’s entire family of iOS devices now kitted out with high-resolution Retina displays, it’s time for the Cupertino company’s Macs to get the same treatment. We’ve speculated about Retina display MacBook Pros for some time, but there’s been little mention of a high-resolution display for the iMac.
But fear not. Those of you with a love for Apple’s all-in-one won’t get left behind when the Retina display upgrades begin their rollout. According to sources for ABC News, the iMac will get a “very, very high resolution” Retina display upgrade alongside the release of Apple’s next-generationMacBook Pros, which are expected to make their debut at WWDC in early June. The machines will also be treated to Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processors, and graphics chips from NVIDIA rather than AMD.
ABC’s sources didn’t mention what the desktop may look like, but according to recent reports, it will sport a whole new look that is both thinner and lighter that its predecessors, with anti-reflective glass displays from a company called G-Tech.


Diagnosis and Part Selection Advice:
How did you know this part needed replacement? Why did you choose a certain brand/part number?
The blower motor continued to run even when the car was shut off and the key was removed from the ignition. I checked the schematic diagram for the blower motor and suspected that if the blower motor relay contacts were welded closed, this condition would cause this symptom. I checked the blower motor control module (this is called the resistor module) with an ohm meter and the meter confirmed that the module was shorted on all the time thus confirming what I had suspected.
What came in the box? Were additional nuts, bolts, sealant, etc. needed for the repair?
The blower motor resistor module is a misnomer. It is actually a complex circuit board with a power transistor which switches on and controls the speed of the blower motor.
Repair / Installation tips:
Special tools needed? Have to remove other parts to reach this one? Any left-hand threads, sharp edges, messy fluids or other pitfalls to avoid?
First remove the 30A fuse from the fuse holder located next to the passenger side shock tower in the engine compartment. To get to the blower motor resistor module, you must remove the plastic cover located directly under the glove box. To do this, there are two latches and a plastic push pin that must be removed. The blower motor resistor module is then exposed and is located under the dashboard right next to the firewall. Assuming that this is the first time the module has ever been replaced, there are two plastic rivets, holding the module against the air duct, that must be ground off with a small rotary rasp. The module can then be removed for easier access. Detach the 5-pin electrical wiring connector from the module.
To install the new module, install two new steel screws (for sheet steel work) about 5/8" long through opposite corners of the new module and into the plastic stand-offs molded into the airduct for just this purpose. A special ratcheting right angled screwdriver was purchased for this job because of the limited space between the firewall and the module. Once the new module is securely in place, attach the 5-pin electrical wiring connector to the new module, re-install the plastic cover, and the 30A fuse into the fuse holder.

In all my projects I use the version control system Git, using conventions to make commits and auto-generate changelogs. I also use submodules that allow me to reuse certain parts of my projects and to carry out an optimal development of them.
The main host of my repositories is GitHub, where I connect with other developers in an open source ecosystem; I also use Github Actions, their CI/CD system.
My favorite code editor is VS Code, it is fast and very customizable. It integrates seamlessly with the terminal and Git. I get the most out of it with its extensions dedicated to each programming language.
C++ is the first programming language I learned, I started in command line and later implemented it in the development of embedded systems such as PIC microcontrollers.
I mainly use it for data science, in conjunction with NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, YFinance, Statistics, Requests, BS4 among others.
I use Poetry as a virtual development environment, packager and dependency manager for my applications and packages, and Pytest for testing them.
With Arduino I develop hardware and software prototypes of home automation, security, production systems control, robotics, etc. products.


I’ve done it. I’ve joined the 8-core club. Historically, I always shoot for the sweet spot in terms of price/performance but this time I thought I’d splurge for once and get the octocore (or is it octacore?) Mac Pro. Realistically, it’s a bit overkill. Sure, Hazel now compiles 5x faster but it’s not like I’m doing full builds all the time and it didn’t take all that long before either. Nonetheless, it’s a great machine. There’s one thing about it that bugs me, though.
On my Powermac, when I plug in headphones, it automatically switches sound output to them, even if I have external speakers connected to line-out. Basically, the headphones, internal speaker and line-out are treated as three devices sharing a channel. To me, it makes sense. If I plug in my headphones, it’s because I want to listen through them. If I pull them out, it’s because I want audio to go back through the speakers. Most every piece of consumer audio equipment I’ve used operates like this.
On the Mac Pro, that has changed. The line-out is a separate output and is unaffected when you plug in headphones. So, if you are using external speakers, you have to go into System Preferences and manually change the output audio device to headphones. You could use something like Rogue Amoeba’s SoundSource to switch output devices in a more convenient fashion but nonetheless it’s a manual process. This Apple doc describes the change but it sounds like an engineering decision imposing itself on the user. I don’t care if it’s now orthogonal and consistent; I want it to be useful.
Well, the nice thing about being a programmer is that you can solve the problem yourself. So, I went ahead and created headphoned (read it as “headphone-d” like a unix daemon). All it does is sit there and watch for when the headphones are plugged in, at which point it switches audio output automatically. When the headphones are unplugged, output reverts back to whatever device was selected before.
I’ve never touched the CoreAudio API before so please excuse the naivetÃƒÂ© of the implementation. Suggestions and improvements are most welcome. A big thanks to Vincent Gable, author of IMLocation for this article which gave me a big headstart.
There seems to be a problem where the audio will wedge when plugging/unplugging. I found that updating with Apple’s recent audio fix got rid of the problem (or maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part but I haven’t experienced it since). If you find it does happen, just plug the headphones in/out again as that usually unwedges things. Also let me know if you experience this even after updating with Apple’s fix.
And, of course, it’s free (MIT License). Do what you will. It’s a bit rough around the edges (no automatic install), but I figure if you are using a Mac Pro, you are less daunted by the command-line. I’ve included a launchd config. Install it in ~/Library/LaunchDaemons and edit it to reflect where you put the executable. Note that it doesn’t seem to work if it runs as root (I think it needs to run as the console user), so don’t bother installing it at the top level LaunchDaemons directories.
Update [Sep. 5, 2007]:
Rogue Amoeba has now integrated this functionality into SoundSource. The announcement is here. You can grab it from their freebies page (and yes, it is free).

Master key system security is the advanced system that helps you to get inside of the property without using the actual lock key setup. The master key system is not only available in the manual format it is also functioning well in electronic form. It is illegal in the majority of places to use the master key system without any supervision of genuine locksmiths. The master key system works well for constructively opening a door lock. This system is acting as a backup system. Different category of lock holds different master key system setup. For mechanical lock format, locksmiths found it easy to create a master key system for padlocks and deadbolt category of locks. Modern-day locksmiths are also capable of creating a master key system for electronic locks. Locksmith Woodbridge NJ is best known for using an electronic master key system during an emergency.


ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS AND PRINCIPALS BEHIND SOLAR DESIGNS
Electrical Fundaments (Volts, Amps & Watts)
Electricity and plumbing have a lot in common. Instead of flowing water, electricity deals with flowing electrons. Instead of pipes, electrons flow through wires. Instead of reservoirs, electricity can be stored in batteries.To further visualize these similarities consider the diagram below showing a water tank (or a battery.)
At the bottom of a full tank of water there will be a certain pressure caused by the weight of the water that would push water out of the tank of an opening were to form. In a fully charged battery there will be certain voltage (similar to pressure) caused by a chemical process that would cause electrons to flow if a path (or circuit) was created.
When an opening is formed at the bottom of a tank, the water flows out at a certain rate depending on the resistance of the pipes and pressure behind the water. Similarly, if an electrical circuit is formed, electrons will flow at a certain rate depending on the voltage and resistance of the load. The flow rate of electrons is referred to as current also known as Amps, A, or in some cases the letter “I”. The resistance of the load is expressed in Ohms or with the symbol “Ω”.
Energy is the flow rate times the pressure, or volts times amps. Energy is expressed in units of Watts.
Volts = Amps x Ohms, V=IR
Watts = Amps x Volts, W=AV, W=RI2
Kilowatts = 1000 x Watts
POWER VS. ENERGY (KWH VS. WATTS)
It is very common for people to confuse Watt hours (Wh) and Watts (W). The “h” isn’t just a longhand way of expressing Watts, it is very significant. A Watt hour is a unit of energy and a Watt is a unit of power. Watt hours equals Watts times Time.
For example, a 65W light bulb has an instantaneous electrical consumption of 65W of energy. If you run that light bulb for 2 hours it will have consumed 130Wh of power (2h x 65W = 130Wh).
Another way to highlight differences between Watts and Watt hours is to compare them to Speed vs. Distance. Watts are to Speed as Distance is to Watt hours. If someone drove down a highway at a constant speed of 65mph for 2 hours they will have travelled 130 miles.
In terms of calculus, if you were to plot Watts over Time the area under the curve would be the Watt Hours.
In a solar system, the number of panels is proportional to the kWh used over a given period (so is your electric bill). The inverter in an off-grid system is sized based on the maximum instantaneous Wattage needed by the user.
Series and Parallel Connections
Solar panels and batteries are often connected in parallel, series or combinations of the two to achieve a desired voltage or current.
If both series and parallel will work, series is preferred because line losses will be less and parallel connections can be expensive.
Strings – Refers to the number of panels in series. If someone were to describe an array configuration as having three strings of twelve modules, they are saying that the system has three parallel strings of twelve panels in series.
HOW SOLAR WORKS
A thorough explanation of how solar works involves some very complicated physics.
Light, which consists of photons, strikes the silicon atoms on a solar cell. When this happens, energy is added to the atom which causes the electrons orbiting the nucleus of that atom to move into higher energy shells (orbits). Solar cells are made of two types of silicon layered one on top of the other. One layer has a higher electron density than the other. Because of this layering, electrons from the top layer can be captured by the bottom layer when they are excited into higher energy shells. Another feature of the layering is that the captured electrons cannot move back to the layer they originally came from. This surplus of electrons on one layer and deficit on the other creates a voltage (force) of electrons being attracted back to the top layer. If wires are attached to each layer (one positive and one negative), connected to devices that run on electricity, completing a circuit, the electrons will flow down those wires, power electrical devices along the way and return to the top silicon layer. This process repeats continually as long as photons strike the silicon atoms.
Calculating Solar Production
Converting the Watts of a solar array to actual kWh that reduces your power bill requires a computer simulation that takes into account latitude and climate factors that would control how much sun exposure your panels get.
AC vs. DC, 120V, 240V, Single Phase vs. Three Phase
Electrical current is transmitted in two main ways, Direct Current DC and Alternating Current AC. Direct Current is when the current maintains a relatively constant flow without changing directions. DC current is produced by solar panels and stored in batteries.
Alternating Current changes directions in a sinusoidal pattern several times per second. In the United States, the frequency is 60hz, meaning that it goes from positive to negative 60 times per second. In Europe and many other countries the frequency is 50hz. Alternating Current is what the utility grid distributes and what inverters produce from DC sources.
When transmitting current over long distances Alternating Current is preferred because of the more dramatic voltage losses that take place when using Direct Current. The reason for this is that with DC, each electron has to travel from the source to the destination. AC on the other hand, is just electrons vibrating into each other.
The standard voltage of AC power coming out of an electrical outlet is 120V, but when it is transmitted over the grid it is at a much higher voltage, at least 240V depending the particular section of the grid. The higher voltage is preferred because it reduces line loses.
In single phase AC there are two conductors and an optional ground. These two conductors oscillate opposite of each other. Since one full oscillation is 360 degrees, the two conductors would be 180 degrees out of phase. In three phase power, there are three conductors and an optional ground. Each conductor is 120 degrees out of phase from the other two conductors. Three phase is commonly used for large electric motors.
System Design: Charge Controllers
Charge controllers go between panels and batteries. Their purpose is to take power from panels and feed it to batteries without over charging the batteries. When selecting a charge controller or determining what panels to put on a charge controller there are four rules that should be followed.
1) Make sure the voltage of the solar panel array going into the charge controller is at least a couple volts higher than the battery bank voltage over a wide range of temperatures and charge levels. For example, a 12.0V panel (if there was such a thing) would not charge a 12V battery because there would no “pressure” differential that would cause current to flow. The voltage of the panel would have to be at least 14.0V to charge a 12V battery bank.
2) Make sure the open circuit voltage of the solar array is not above the voltage limit of the charge controller. For example some Sunforce charge controllers have a voltage limit of 25V. Because of this, you would not be able to use our 250W panel because it has an open circuit voltage of 37.7V. Also, Outback charge controllers have a voltage limit of 150V. Because of this you would not want to put more than three250W panels in each series string because on a cold day (panel voltage increases as temperature decreases) their combined voltage would exceed 150V.
3) Make sure the current going from the charge controller to the battery bank does not exceed the charge controller current rating. The calculations for current have nothing to do with the current coming off the array since current coming into a charge controller and going out of a charge controller are not necessarily equal. To calculate current, take the total wattage of the solar array, multiply it 90% to take into account losses and real world solar irradiance, then divide it by the voltage of the battery bank. For example, two 250W panels on a 12V battery bank would produce about 37.5A (2 x 250W x 0.90 / 12V = 37.5A). This would not work on a charge controller rated for 15A.
4) Use MPPT when there is a large differential between the panel voltage and the battery bank voltage. There are two types of charge controllers, PWM and MPPT. PWM charge controllers feed the batteries with a direct connection to the solar panels. MPPT charge controllers utilize a transformer to step down the voltage and increase the current before being fed onto a battery bank. For example, even though the Xantrex C35 charge controller can handle the voltage of a 250W panel and is compatible with 12V systems, it uses PWM and would force the panel to operate at 12V instead of its more efficient 30.7V. An MPPT charge controller would be a better choice and result in much better production.
System Design: Inverters
The inverter is the component that converts DC power into the AC that runs most electronics. The two main types of inverter we deal with are Grid-tied and Off-grid. Grid-tied inverters take power directly from the solar array and feed it onto the utility grid. Off-grid inverters take power from a battery bank and power devices.
Grid-tied inverters are selected based on the wattage of the solar array. The panels are organized in combinations of series and parallel to match the voltage and current handling characteristics of the inverters. For example a system consisting of twenty 250W panels for a total of 5000W would use a KACO 5002xi inverter. If all the panels were in series, the voltage would be too high. If all the panels were in parallel, the voltage would be too low. By using string sizing software we can determine that there should be two strings of ten panels to operate efficiently with the inverter.
Another type of inverter is the micro inverter. This is when each panel has its own inverter and inverters are connected to each other in parallel. For these inverters, only certain panels can be used that match the voltage and current requirements of the inverter. Since grid-tied inverters only feed power to the grid and not to certain devices, the size of your load does not matter in system design.
Off-grid inverters draw their power from the battery bank, therefore it doesn’t matter how many or what type of panels are used in the system. Off-grid systems are designed around the total wattage of all the devices they would power. For example, if you have a 1200W microwave and 800W of lights, you wouldn’t want to use an inverter with an output of less than 2000W.
Another important factor to consider when selecting an off-grid inverter is whether you need pure sine or if modified sine will work. Pure sine is identical to what comes out of an electrical outlet, with smooth oscillations from positive to negative. Modified sine is a square wave with instantaneous transitions. If the device that the inverter is powering has moving parts like motors or refrigerator compressors, pure sine is needed. Otherwise, if the inverter only powers lighting or chargers, modified sine will be sufficient.
System Design: Battery Banks
A battery serves as an energy buffer between the power producing panels and the power consuming load. Since grid-tied systems feed directly to the grid and do not provide backup power, no battery is needed. But, off-grid and grid-interactive systems do require batteries. A common question is “Do I really need batteries if I only want to work during the day?” The answer, 99% of the time is yes. In some rare cases special DC pumps can be connected directly to panels, so can lighting. The reason for needing batteries is that without them the current being produced would have to exactly match the current being consumed, which is not possible with small scale conventional solar power systems.
As a general rule of thumb, we recommend that the Ah rating of a battery bank should be at least half of the panel wattage rating. For example, a 200W solar kit should have a 100Ah battery bank. On an average day, a 200W system will take a 100Ah battery from emptyto full. If a smaller battery bank was used, the battery would reach full charge and the panels would be disconnected from the battery by the charge controller before sunset, leaving expensive panels doing nothing.
A bigger battery bank is always better. Bigger battery banks provide more backup time and the lifespan of the batteries is also improved. A system with a large battery bank would likely be less deeply discharged than a system with a small battery bank. If a battery is only discharged 20% each day it will last longer than a battery discharged 50% each day.
To convert battery Amp hours (Ah) to usable Watt hours (Wh) take the nominal voltage of the battery, multiply it by the Ah rating, and multiply that by 50%. For example, a 100Ah 12V battery has a usable capacity of 600Wh (12V x 100Ah x 50% = 600Wh.)
INCENTIVES, REBATES AND CREDITS
Incentives, rebates and tax credits can come from the federal government, the state government, the utility company and even the city. This means that each town may have a different program. To add to the complexity, these programs are constantly changing. Because of this, it doesn’t make sense for Grape Solar, a company with a customer base spanning continents, to become experts on the various programs. If you need information on a specific area we can connect you with one of our expert local installers. In the meantime, these two websites can be very useful:
The IV Curve
A graph of solar panel current vs. voltage is referred to as the IV Curve. The optimum combination of voltage and current for producing the most energy from a solar panel is at the point along the curve where the slope equals -1A/V. The current and voltage at this point are referred to as Impp and Vmpp respectively. The “mmp” stands for Maximum Power Point.
When a solar panel gets warmer the curve shifts to the left, producing less voltage.
When a solar panel gets exposed to more light the curve shifts upward producing more current.

Following the Consumer Electronics Show, the Internet of Things (IoT, in a nutshell) has managed to earn a lot of credibility points. Here’s how IoT will change the way we interact with technology:
1. First of all, I am all in favor of IoT. I believe it is the future. The devices connected to the Internet have exceeded the number of people living on Earth in 2008, while more than 26 billion will be connected by 2020.
Its growth will be based on the continuous declining costs in bandwidth, sensors, processing and also new methods of data analysis.
2. The possibility of connecting everything. Presently, approximately less than 0.1 of devices that could be connected to the Internet are actually connected to the Internet. In the future, there will be four key areas of IoT and they are as follows: cities, homes, cars and wearables.
For example, smart cities will be able and will monitor the usage of gas, water and electric energy, while also analyzing data to create efficiencies. All the “less than important items” in our households will become connected, starting with light bulbs, chairs and ending with washing machines and thermostats. Moreover, the automobile will turn out to be the largest mobile device in existence. Everything we will wear will become smart regarding where we are, what activities we are doing and how we are feeling.
3. Devices are more and more personalized. Devices connected to the internet and sensors will create mountains and mountains of data regarding people and enterprise. Our current devices generation information significant to us, such as the temperature we prefer to have in our homes, the taste of the food we love, the amount of food our pets eat, etc. Therefore, companies will be able to offer experiences especially personalized for customers throughout their daily lives.
4. IoT will be able to predict if a device will succeed or fail. To put it in layman’s terms, we will know when a home appliance or even a car reaches levels that indicate an inevitable failure, thus allowing us to be one step ahead of the situation and be able to prevent unwanted and unnecessary costs. In detail, aspects such as real-time analytics and a wider automation will generate billions of dollars of efficiencies across economies and industries by avoiding outages and malfunctions.
5. OS (Operating systems) are the true pioneers of IoT. Companies such as Google, Apple and Samsung are all blazing the IOT trail by creating the platforms we will use in the future. Last summer, Apple has announced a brand new “smart home” platform, Samsung offered $100m for developers to help create a more open IoT platform while Google purchased Nest for $3.2bn.
What do you think about IoT and its potential?


THE Peugeot is rapidly investing in the future with an electrified range – both in purely electric proposals and in hybrid versions that aim to strongly reduce the carbon footprint. At the same time, the French brand hopes that its new range will be the “fillet” of its sales: Peugeot announced that it won first place in pure B-class electric cars in Europe in 2022 with the supermini Peugeot e-208 – to be the best-selling model together with the e-2008 – also electric – to carry modern and efficient electric motors. As it announced, its electric models were preferred by more than 76,000 drivers in Europe in 2022. Today, the French brand strengthens its hybrid technology with the new HYBRID system that comes from the heart of Stellantis. The new hybrid technology will be implemented in the new PEUGEOT 3008 and 5008and is planned to be extended to other models as well.
The advantages of the new system are the PEUGEOT 48V HYBRID which includes a generation PureTech 136bhp petrol engine, mated to an electric motor and a new 6-speed dual-clutch electric gearbox. The new hybrid set consists of a three-cylinder engine, with a capacity of 1,199 cc, with a power of 136 hp (100 kW) at 5,500 rpm. torque of 230Nm at 1,750 rpm, The modern electric motor delivers a maximum power of 21kW (28hp) and a torque of 55Nm.
Also, the all-electric drive is ensured by a powerful battery that recharges while driving, with a direct benefit in fuel economy that reduces consumption by up to 15% for both the 3008 and 5008. Equally important, when the petrol engine is switched off and the electric motor turns into a generator, the 48V battery is recharged. But also at the highest and up to 145 km/h the internal combustion engine stops as soon as the driver takes his foot off the accelerator
The driver who experiences the new hybrid technology behind the wheel has as an information ally the new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit, with multimedia systems that give him a complete picture of the operation of the hybrid system. As the French brand emphasizes, the HYBRID engine offers average fuel savings of around 1 liter/100 km compared to a corresponding conventional petrol SUV. Also, the news PEUGEOT 3008 and 5008 HYBRID they can be driven over 50% of their time with a 100% electrified, zero-emissions program.

On top of providing convenience, accessibility, and comfort, the growing variety of smart home technology allows your house to learn how to work best for you.
Using smart appliances around your home can help lower your bills while minimizing your impact on the environment. From lighting to lawn maintenance, figuring out the most efficient use of your utilities can be as easy as “set and forget.”
What are Smart Home Products
These smart home hubs act as the central point of the smart home system from which you can make changes with the simple push of a button or voice command. While smart appliances are often sold as separate units, smart home hubs are compatible with many new technologies or can be programmed through platforms like If This Then That (IFTTT) to control several devices in your house.
These appliances can customize everything from security, comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency, all to your exact liking.
What makes these products “smart” is their use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to figure out your preferences and patterns. They are able to monitor the state of your home and switch appliances on and off when they are best needed (for example, turning off lights in an empty room).
Smart devices use their wireless connections to communicate with each other and outside entities like smart electricity grids to figure out how to work in the most energy efficient way possible.
For example, location based controls, called geo-fencing, can automatically turn off your appliances based on the location of your smartphone.
The following array of appliances can bring you customized convenience while minimizing both your monthly bills and your carbon footprint.
Smart thermostats can manage your home temperature from anywhere at anytime and are a great choice for saving energy around your home.
Different models offer features like detecting when your home is empty to adjust the temperature for maximum efficiency or sensing when you are heading home to have the house set to your liking by the time you step through the door.
Some smart thermostats also feature a learning ability that can remember the times you prefer to lower or raise the temperature in your home, which can result in additional monthly savings.
In addition to learning your personal temperature likings, smart thermostats are equipped with sensors that detect when people active in the house, allowing them to schedule what times need heating/cooling the most as seasons change. Some thermostats can even track the latest local weather reports and make fitting changes to your home’s temperature.
These systems can also provide energy reports on how much power you are using, including information on how your energy use has changed over time and how much this is likely to cost you.
Due to their energy-saving abilities, many utility companies, including Austin Energy, offer rebates to customers who install smart thermostats in their homes. Customers can also opt into programs like PowerSaver that allow utilities to adjust the temperature in their homes by a couple degrees during peak demand times to help them save money and relieve strain on the grid.
Smart lighting systems are revolutionizing how homeowners set the mood, conserve energy, and improve security around the house.
Lighting can account for up to 30% of your home electricity bill. Timers, motion detectors and geofencing features allow smart lights to lower your electricity bill by switching themselves off when they are not needed.
Additionally, almost all smart lights are LED bulbs, which use about 25%-80% less energy than traditional incandescents while lasting 3-25 times longer. And their ability to dim reduces their wattage and output, which helps you save even more.
By allowing you to change colors, smart bulbs can also offset some of the health concerns that are linked to the blue light emitted by LEDs.
Some smart lighting products can be paired with other devices like smart thermostats and security systems for energy saving away modes and safety options. For example, the Google Nest smart thermostats can pair with the Philip Hue lighting system to turn bulbs red when smoke is detected.
Initially, smart light bulbs may cost more than regular compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, but smart light bulbs offer many benefits that can offset the initial costs over the long run. The best smart lighting options conserve energy, last much longer than traditional light bulbs and offer customization options that are both fun and practical.
Smart Sprinklers and Irrigation
Between changing seasons, sun exposure, and soil types, different areas of a yard can have different watering needs.
By installing smart sprinklers, you don’t need to be a horticultural expert to give your garden exactly the right amount of water each day. These systems can optimize your in-ground irrigation system by automatically adjusting to the conditions that best suit your landscape while cutting water use.
Smart irrigation systems can determine whether your yard’s soil will affect evaporation and the watering requirements of different plants, while accounting for weather forecasts to give your garden the exact amount of water it needs to flourish. They determine the best time of day and watering duration to help the water soak in and reduce run-off. Smart sprinklers can also automatically adapt this schedule to changes in sunrise over the course of a season.
Cutting out excess water waste not only saves you money, but prevents the loss of critical local resources that can have a significant impact on the environment.
Most systems are certified by the EPA’s Watersense program, which can qualify you for rebates on your utility bill.
Smart Leak Detectors
Prevention is the best cure when it comes to potentially disastrous water leaks in your home. Water is one of the most common causes of property damage, even if you don’t live in an area subject to flooding.
From leaky water heaters to a broken supply line or a split washing machine hose, a well-placed smart water-leak detector alerts you to trouble before any major damage is done. These sensors can also notify you to other conditions that may lead to future property damage issues like freezing temperatures and high humidity levels.
Rather than just beeping when a leak is detected, smart water sensors connect directly to your smart home hub or phone to bring leaks to your attention wherever you happen to be, whether at the office or on vacation. Some detection products also have the ability to automatically turn off your water line when a leak is detected, though these systems typically require a professional installer.
Undetected, a minor household leak can cause the loss of gallons of water, putting unnecessary strain on your bill. Catching leaks also helps to save a precious environmental resource for future use.
Smart Appliances & Plugs
From refrigerators to dishwashers, ovens, clothes washers, and dryers, more and more appliances around the home are adding smart features to learn how they can work best for you.
New energy-saving smart tech allows you to program routines through your smart home hub to operate major appliances when energy demands are low, saving you money and placing less strain on your local grid.
Even when appliances are not in active use, the displays on microwaves, ovens and refrigerators remain on and consume power. Smart tech can put appliances into power-saving modes, turning off displays when a device or appliance is not in use.
Additionally, smart plugs let you control the power supply of almost anything in your home via your smartphone or smart home hub. While starting your smart home journey can feel overwhelming, smart plugs are an easily installed option to add smart technology around the house.
These handy devices plug into your wall outlets and work like any normal power supply, with the convenience of remote control. Smart plugs can work on their own or sync with your smart home hub to switch off devices on a timer (every night after a certain hour, for example) or manually via an app to make sure they aren’t unnecessarily adding to your electricity bill.
You can also remotely ensure potential fire hazards like irons and hair straighteners are switched off if you think you forgot before leaving the house.
As easy as plug-and-go, smart plugs are a great multi-use option to save money and lower energy use in your home.
Smart Homes Let your Home Perform at its Best
Smart homes offer many ways to improve appliance efficiency and prevent energy waste, giving homeowners control over their appliances like never before.

A step by Step Guide to implement your own custom RFID tags.
ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE NEW TO TONIEBOX HACKING YOU WILL FIND A BETTER INTRODUCTION AND MORE UPDARTED VERSION HERE: “Toniebox Hacking – How to get started“. This article is very interesting due to the detailed information, as well, but you should start with the other blog post!
In this Blog post the focus is on custom tags that works with the Toniebox. I will guide you through the steps of using own RFID tags with Content that is already on your build in SD card of the Toniebox.
Like I described in earlier posts, within the Tonie figurines is a RFID Chip installed. This Chip consists of a total of 40 bytes length. 8 bytes are used for the UID, a unique identifier, and 32 bytes are used within the tag memory (4 blocks with 8 bytes each). The UID, like it is said by the U for unique is a identification number that only exists once within the whole Tonie universe (or only once within the RFID Standard according to NXP).


With that availability comes a drop in price and a viable alternative to fiber optics for 40G networking. This means that enterprise servers and networking systems have substantially widened options for all manner of applications. The flexibility is a powerful tool for upgrading systems under a budget. Note: This item may require 24 hours for cut and prep before shipping. That said, fiber optics are still prominent in countless 40G systems. Cat 7 cables are the … So what does that mean? Preterminated Assemblies. Premium Custom Preterminated Fiber Optic Assemblies and Ethernet Cables manufactured in the USA since 1997! This makes it a great choice for networks that are in transition to servicing higher data loads. Single-mode fiber can run for many kilometers before it stops working. The table below summarizes the differences between the current standards. As you can see the answer to one of the most asked questions is YES Cat 5e is capable of 1 Gbps networking! Cat 5e also allows for the cables to be run up to 100 meters without signal degradation. Fiber Optic vs Cable Internet: The Basics. Max Bandwidth: 1,000MHz. How does Cat8 Ethernet Compare to 40G Fiber Optic Solutions. All Rights Reserved. The site was an open, standard modern office with a drop ceiling and hollow office walls. The "A" is for augmented (no, there was not a Cat 6e standard). Learn more: CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6, and CAT-7-General Questions Optical Fiber Cable. Fiber vs. Cat 7 / 8. The "e" stands for enhanced; the "enhancement" is due to a better design that significantly reduces cross-talk over the older Cat 5 standard. It's not an easy decision, so we have outlined the differences below: We are only mentioning this type for historical purposes; the maximum transmission speed was only 100 Mbps. Enterprise networking is in an exciting place right now. It is a more expensive short-term investment, but you can recover that money through proper long-term planning. The Optic Fiber cables, unlike the Cat6 cables, work by drawing light instead of electrical power and thus use it for the transmission of signals. Today, this is one of the most widely used standards. This can often be the best, and most cost-effective choice for many small businesses as it allows for data to be transferred at a rate of up to 1 Gigabit per second while operating at a frequency of 100 MHz and beyond. The Cat 6 standard gives higher performance than Cat 5e. Think of it this way: signal transmission via copper is always going to be theoretically limited to the speed that electrons can travel, while signals traveling via fiber optic cables … This enables it to work perfectly with a wide range of networking devices. From the introduction above, Cat6 cable offers the performance of up to 250 MHz while Cat7 cable … The cat 5e cables were introduced in 1999 with the use of a 100-meter, 4-connector channel in structure cabling. Coaxial Cable is a pure copper or copper-coated wire surrounded by insulation material with aluminum covering used to transmit telephone, television and data signals.Fiber Optic cable is … Additionally, this standard wasn't recognized by the TIA/EIA organizations. It still works with RJ-45 connectors, but it can also be sourced with Class II non-RJ45 connections when needed. Cable-internet utilizes copper cable (coax) and data is sent via electricity. As we just mentioned, the Cat 6 standard supports higher frequencies, and this means that it can provide that Gigabit speed more reliably and efficiently. This is the superseded version of the Category 5 twisted pair cable, with the “e” standing for enhanced. When comparing fiber vs cable, fiber-optic cable is considered more advanced. Cat 6A has a significant performance increase over Cat 6, designed for 10 Gbps networking. General Cable, NextGen™ Fiber Optic Cable, 8-Strand, Multimode, 62.5/125, Distribution, Plenum Rated. Fiber optics have formed the backbone of elite data transmissions for decades. 5ft Blue CAT6 Ethernet Patch Cables, Easyboot (Ferrari-style), 5ft Black CAT8 Ethernet Cable, S/FTP, 40Gbs, 2GHz, Easyboot, 3m LC-LC OM3 Premium Multimode Duplex 50/125 Fiber Optic Cable, 7m LC-LC OM4 Premium Multimode Push-Pull Tab 50/125 Fiber Optic Cable.

It involved replacing the existing Cat5e cable with either Cat6a, Cat7 or fiber cable. A wide variety of 8 core fiber optic cable options are available to you, There are 10,000 suppliers who sells 8 core fiber optic cable on Alibaba.com, mainly located in Asia. Making the right choice will require you to decide how you prioritize your spending both today and down the road. They still represent an extremely large section of enterprise networking, so it makes sense that Cat8 is seeing rapid growth in market share. A definite advantage for data center providers seeking power and cooling savings. Loosely speaking Cat 5e and Cat 6 are standards for home networking, anything above is for business and enterprise. Posted by Patch Cords Online on 3/6/2018 to, Cat7 S/FTP Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable for 10G Applications. This is still true but Ethernet has come a long way toward becoming a faster means of delivering Internet access.There was a time when Ethernet speed had a 10Mbps (Megabits per second) limit. Because of that, we’re going to focus on fiber optics that are optimized for 40G networking. Many people can access the fiber network at the same … Each one has different capabilities, but the most important is the supported transmission speed. That said, 40G networks don’t require the most elite equipment on the market, and they amply service the majority of enterprise applications. Cat8 can handle 10G, 25G and 40G networking demands at distances up to 30 meters. Ethernet uses copper cables to deliver data using electrical impulse, and it has a reputation of being a lot slower than fiber optic cables.
