Next Technology

With technology improving everyday, you quickly start to notice that not only can you still use CD or DVDs to do CD duplication, DVD duplication or even CD packaging and DVD packaging, but you can now use new formats to store or sell programs and more.

It is actually now possible to use blu-ray and high definition technology to do all that. Those new technology can store even more data than the normal CD or DVD that would be used for CD replication, DVD replication and the others.

We hear a lot about blu-ray discs and high definition but what is it really.

The blu-ray disc is the next generation of optical disc format developed to enable recording, playback or rewriting of high-definition video most commonly known as HD, as well as storing a large amount of data. Whereas a DVD has a storage capacity of up to 8.5GB, a blu-ray would have a storage capacity of up to 50 GB and a high definition dvd would have a storage capacity of up to 30GB which make those types of storage hugely interesting.

While discs like DVDs and CDs use a red laser to write and read the data, the new blu-ray format actually uses a blue-violet laser. Using a blue-violet laser instead of a red laser means that the laser has a shorter wavelength which makes it possible to focus the laser dot with even better accuracy, thus allowing data to be packed more compactly and stored in less space which obviously mean a greater storage capacity.

The blu-ray technology is supported by around two hundred of the world’s leading computers, consumer electronics, video game and music companies for the moment and this number is meant to grow with the years. The format is even supported by all Hollywood studios as the successor to the DVDs we all use for the moment. Interestingly, High Definition DVDs have not been used much due to the growing success of blu-ray discs, especially since you can store much more data on a blu-ray disc than on a high definition DVD.

Even if the blu-ray and high definition formats are not widely in use at the moment, they will certainly be in the coming years as soon as the technology becomes better known by the consumers around the world. So next time you want to get DVD or CD duplication or even DVD packaging or CD packaging done, think about using blu-ray discs instead.

Innovation in the automotive lift service department is driving time savings, improved efficiency and resource savings for dealerships looking to speed vehicle check-in, improve technician performance and reduce waste.

These new technologies in automotive lifts range far and wide. Among others, they include laptop and notebooks service advisor tools that improve walk-around results while getting customers in and out of the write-up process faster, connectivity tools that assist technicians in their problem diagnosis and resolution, and automotive lift systems using non-hazardous hydraulic oils for their operation.

On of the newest technologies for the service department is an inground automotive lift using water (instead of petroleum or vegetable-based hydraulic oils) and compressed air (rather than electric motors to raise and lower the unit.

The new type of automobile lift system has been in operation in a number of dealership service departments for several months. It also has been accepted by a number of OEMs, including Ford Motor Company, which offers it to its dealers through the Ford Rotunda program, Ford’s OE equipment and tool program.

“There has been no new significant technology in lifts for the last 10 years or so, but Challenger Lifts, with this new AquaVantage model, has changed the true guts of lifts,” says Nick Zala, vice president of OEM Sales for Integrated Supply Network, administrators of the Rotunda program for Ford Motor Company.

Because these lifts use corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum pistons, water—usually unwelcome in a vehicle service environment—presents no concerns about rust in the unit or its impact on internal components.

Check out the New 2009 Mighty Muscular Mahindra Scorpio with Micro Hybrid Technology

Mahindra & Mahindra, the leader in utility vehicles in India, has taken the initiative to introduce the path breaking FuelSmart System for the first time in India. The FuelSmart system is an automatic engine start stop system. It has been introduced in its Scorpio M2DI and Bolero SLX BS3 models.

The start stop system automatically shuts down and restarts the automobile’s engine. The engine begins effortlessly once a driver depresses a clutch prior to moving ahead. This in turn reduces the duration for which the engine is kept idling, thereby improving fuel economy.  This start stop system comes into play when the automobile has to spend considerable amounts of time waiting at traffic signals or in traffic jams. This feature started in hybrid electric vehicles but now has also started appearing in vehicles without a hybrid powertrain like Scorpio and Bolero. Fuel economy can improve by 5 to 10 percent in non-hybrid vehicles with the start stop system.

Off late the start stop system uses an enhanced-starter which is nothing more than a conventional starter, developed by Bosch, which can withstand the increased number of engine starts. The system is such that the alternator is not activated most of the time. Thus the electrical components in the vehicle run on Battery. The alternator is activated to recharge the battery while decelerating or braking (regenerative braking). Due to the use of regenerative braking, some have started calling this type of system a micro hybrid.

Volkswagen Polo Formel E, Fiat Regata ES and BMW were some of the earliest vehicles to use this technology. Smart Fortwo is a micro hybrid sold in Europe. Mahindra & Mahindra has introduced Micro hybrid Technology with Scorpio and Bolero. Tata Motors is following suite with Micro Hybrid Nano and Ace.

The Micro Hybrid Technology is based on the simple principle of not burning fuel when not required. The FuelSmart system with a Micro-Hybrid technology of Scorpio is new technology developed by Mahindra R&D team with help of the M/S Bosch.
