New generation of accumulators by Nissan

Company Nissan plans to increase considerably duration of run of serial electrocars that will allow to take in the lead positions in the given segment.

Nissan Motor to become full determination of the leader

Nissan Motor has serious intentions to be the leader on manufacture of serial electromobiles or at least the owner of the technologies, capable to provide similar position. It was unambiguously declared by the president of company Carlos Ghosn, speaking about plans of working out of new storage batteries.

It's a question of accumulators which will have capacity and a power charge several times big, than it's li-ionic the batteries which are at present not till the end of fulfilled technology in the autoindustry. Thus new batteries will be much easier is li-ionic, assures Ghosn. Not clear there is only a question concerning their cost and working out terms.

Nissan Motor has refused cooperation with NEC Corp.

Despite lacking official details concerning a technical part, it is known, that in working out of new batteries Nissan Motor is engaged independently, i.e. without participation of the basic partner in the field of working out it is li-ionic batteries, Japanese NEC Corp.

As to technical characteristics some informal data already are called. In particular it is supposed, that new batteries can increase run without additional charge preparing for an exit by the market of electromobile Nissan Leaf with 150 to without small 650 km. If it appears close to true break for electrocars Nissan is provided.

5 questions on automobile GPS-navigation

1. What is GPS?

GPS is an abbreviation from English name Global Positioning System. Basic co-operating elements GPS is 24 space companions NavStar (are started and belong to the USA) and millions receivers on a surface of the Earth.
The system so works: the receiver catches a signal from 3 and more companions, measures time of a delay of passage of a signal from each of them and automatically counts the site — geographical co-ordinates: width, a longitude, and also height above sea level. These data the device processor correlates to a navigation chart loaded into memory of the device. Thanks to it the user sees the map image on which "point" is shown and moves on the display is he with the GPS-receiver.

2. What represent GPS-receivers what they happen?

It is group of electronic devices which are united only by one — presence of the special module for reception of a signal from companions. In a technical characteristics way GPS-devices can be very different. Depending on mission, GPS-navigators happen automobile, sea, aviation, portable tourist, professional geodetic. But, first of all, GPS-navigators are intended for informing of the motorist concerning a site on a district map, the such original Car Tips.

Exist also so-called. GPS-modules — the devices containing only the receiver, connected to the laptop or a handheld computer. Often GPS the module already regularly at factory is built in multimedia system of the car. Also it is necessary to mention electronics with the built in GPS-receiver: a handheld computer, laptops, cellular telephones, portable radio sets.

3. What accuracy of GPS-navigation?

The navigator as the manufacturer declares, defines a site to within 3-5 m. However very many here depends on number of companions which "see" the device and, besides, from navigation charts. The matter is that for civil use navigation charts in scale not more largely than 1:1000 are resolved...
However, such scale and accuracy of navigation are quite comprehensible to automobile travel, after all by the car go for many hundreds kilometres.

4. What price of GPS-navigators?

From $300 to 700. The price of the navigator influences, first of all - functionality. It is a memory size on which the number of loaded navigation charts depends, the power of the processor which is responsible for speed and support 3D, presence of the touch screen, support of vocal helps. Besides it, the price depends on the manufacturer: so, the Taiwan navigators are much cheaper (from $50-100) Japanese.

5. Where to take electronic navigation charts for information loading?

Practically always they are on sale in the same place, where also navigators. The Internet can be an additional source of acquisition.

Made in Japan

If Japanese in what are an expert, so it in electronics and in a hara-kiri. From the Japanese meal the stomach is ill me, the Japanese literature bores me, the Japanese theatre to me is not clear, the Japanese etiquette seems too pompous, the Japanese women are too appeasable, the Japanese cities too stuffy, the Japanese painting I in general never saw. For what I respect Japanese — so it for their electronic and home appliances. Here they geniuses.

I love Japan because it is the most postmodernist country in the world. In Japan you will not disassemble, where culture, and where the industry. There it has merged in one big Japanese Miracle which symbol could become a hara-kiri, made by means of the laser. Perhaps I the chauvinist, but all Japanese seem me abnormal — even Yukio Misima. Japanese for me all the same that humanoids. Though it seems to me, that soon all of us become for each other humanoids.

Japanese unsurpassed masters of a metaphor and in general any images. It, likely, language influence. Sony is too a metaphor. Sony is a metaphor of a life after TV occurrence. The only thing, that is necessary now for us, is new TV Sony, more flat, with more volume image and, of course, it is more. I always dreamt to live in apartment where there would be one bed, it is a lot of books and more than anything. I have missed the chance if it was, to live so.

I think, that if was not Sony it would be necessary for nobody the Japanese cinema, a land. Sony has declared all that such "Japanese quality". The Japanese quality has extended on all. And now everything, that concerns to Made in Japan, is the sample high quality. Absolutely all.
