Google Kembangkan Software Mobil Hibrida

Beberapa tahun belakangan, Google Inc. mulai melirik dunia otomotif. Raksasa internet ini tengah mengambangkan sebuah software untuk mengatasi masalah pengisian dan konsumsi listrik pada mobil hibrida. Sebelumya, pada tahun 2007, Google sudah pernah mengembangkan program untuk meguji mobil hibrida Toyota Prius dan ford Escape yang menggunakan campuran listrikdan bensin sebagai bahan bakar tenaganya.

Software buatan Google ini dikabarkan juga dilengkapi dengan feature yang memungkinkan kendaraan untuk menyimpan energi listrik cadangan yang bisa digunakan pada saat-saat darurat. Google pun menciptakan colokan listrik untuk mentransfer listrik ke mobil hibrida.

Teknologi "hijau" kiini memang telah menjadi salah satu fokus Google, terutama sejak  semakin maraknya isu mengenai Global Warming, teknologi-teknologi ramah lingkungan ini dikembangkan Google melalui Google.org.

Denyut Nadi sebagai Charger Telepon Seluler

Berbagai ide yang menawarkan alternatif charger ponsel melalui energi tenaga matahari atau induksi magnetik sudah banyak orang yang mendengarnya. Kini, ada satu lagi ide terbaru yang ditawarkan oleh Peneliti dari Stanford Universty. Idenya adalah mengonversikan denyut nadi menjadi arus listrik untuk digunakan sebagai charger dengan sumber tenaga dari denyut nadi dianggap cocok untuk diterapkan pada ponsel yang dipakai di pergelangan tangan. Seperti diketahui, pergelangan tangan merupakan bagian yang memiliki denyut nadi yang mudah dirasakan.

Menariknya, menurut para peneliti Standford University, Pulse Charger, demikian mereka menyebutnya, diilhami dari ide sederhana seorang pelajar yang berumur 15 tahun di St Mark Senior Secondary School, India. Ide yang awalnya dipublikasikan di website National Innovation Foundation (NIF) sebagai salah satu peserta yang mendapatkan penghargaan dalam lomba IGNITE '09 untuk menyalurkan ide-ide kreatif. Belakangan ini publikasi ini menarik perhatian para peneliti Stanford dan kemudian mengajukan proposal untuk mengimplemantasikan ide tersebut untuk penggunaan komersial. Pulse Charge dianggap memilki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan di negara berkembang, khususnya daerah-daerah terpencil yang pertumbuhan ponselnya cukup tinggi tetapi kurang diimbangi infrastruktur kelistrikan yang memadai.

Fergie: I Always Wanted To Sign Maldini

Sir Alex Ferguson has today revealed that AC Milan legend, Paolo Maldini, had been on his wanted list for years.

After starting with the youth team in the 1970’s, Maldini went on to play for the first team for 25 years, making a total of 902 appearances. Milan retired his number three shirt, only to be worn again if one of his sons plays for the first team.

Fergie said he knew the deal was a no go after meeting Maldini’s dad at a match.


“I always wanted to get Paolo here but it was impossible,” Ferguson said. “I met his father at a game and told him how much I’d love to have his son at United. Cesare smiled at me and said ‘My grandfather was Milan, my father was Milan, I played for Milan and now my son is Milan’. And that was it – story over!”

How Fergie used our players between Aug-Dec 2009 (stats to back up your arguments!)

From the first match on 9th August when we lost to Chelsea on penalties in the Community Shield, to the last game of 2009 when we knocked five past Wigan, Manchester United played thirty times in all competitions.

Here is a quick review of the stats:

Total Goals Scored: 62
Total Goals Conceded: 26
Goal Difference: + 36 (not bad for a team with defensive injuries!)

Biggest win: 5-0 v Wigan on 22nd August and 5-0 v Wigan on 30th December!
Worst defeat: 0-3 v Fulham on 19th December
