Recent innovations in automotive engineering have produced active safety systems ranging from side alert, often called blind spot warning, to adaptive cruise control, to collision detection and warning. What this means to the average consumer will change over time as these products become increasingly available. What this means to the automotive engineer is increased attention to safe technology.
Many impressive innovations beyond the now customary car navigation system have existed – and even been on the market – for years now. Adaptive cruise control has been available since the early 19990s. Electronic stability control has been an option for many vehicles since 1995. Scanning radars, crash sensors, pre-crash mitigation and vehicle and occupant safety systems are also emerging. Such systems offer insights into how roads can be made safer in generations to come and where automotive technology is heading. In other words, as cars become “carputers,” automotive engineers are driving shifting technologies.
The myriad of promising innovations includes vehicle occupant safety systems. For example, a crash sensor generates a signal based upon a potential crash or one already transpired via a continuously variable severity output signal. If an… More >>

World has synchronized in a compact dwelling. All the scattered continents are now interconnected through various technologies. Invention of new means of transportation has led to this phenomenal globalization. Multinational companies are the best examples of corporate globalization. Today, with the help of technology a single company can operate through multidimensional locations; and the most important factor that has brought this phenomenal change is the internet.Web based software technology has enabled every company, whether big or small, to operate from any metropolitan city in the world. The latest web based trucking software has brought about a revolution in the transportation industry. This technology has widened growth opportunities for smaller trucking companies; as now trucking companies are not restricted by the boundaries of a single nation. Using the web based trucking software an ambitious trucking company can now spread its scope of activity, as far as possible. With the help of this new software, a trucking company can manage all its business activities, anywhere from the world, through the internet. Web based trucking software has not only overcome the irksome tasks of the trucking business, but has also given… More >>

The value of freedom in a country is priceless. If one country has freedom of speech and thought then they are sure to have a bright future ahead of them. How so? If a society has freedom of thought then they are free to explore their interests or whatever else that may pique their curiosity, which could eventually lead them to great knowledge and amazing discoveries.
Take the United States for example. America has surpasses all the other countries of the world not only economically but technologically as well. Although it is true that most technological inventions and other scientific discoveries did not really originated from the Americans themselves but rather are attributed to citizens of other countries. However, it is undeniable that these technological inventions are enhanced and further developed in America. Thanks to America’s innovative patent system these technological inventions are put to better use.
Just what is a patent you asked? The term “patent” is generally defined as a set of exclusive rights granted by the government to a person for a certain period of time (usually for 20 years) in return for the regulated, public… More >>

The electronics revolution shows no signs of slowing down. When I was a youngster we had dial telephones, AM radio, and black & white TV with a tall antenna on the roof. We did not have microwave ovens, cell phones, computers, FM radio, or GPS systems and there were no satellites. Well hang onto your hats, because the revolution has just begun…
X-ray vision is already here… sort of.
Knowing that radio waves can pass through solid materials, in 2006, engineers at Cambridge Consultants in the UK announced they had built a device they called the Prism 200 which can detect people through a brick wall. The briefcase-sized system works by transmitting pulses of ultrawide-band radar and listening for returning echoes.
According to the company, these pulses can pass through building walls over 16 inches thick, and detect human beings behind those walls over a range of up to 50 feet. The device can only detect people when they are moving.
Erwin Biebl’s radar sensor. Biebl’s team at the Technical University of Munich in Germany has built a device that can pick up tiny… More >>
