... According to Battery University, the global battery market is about $50 billion U.S. of which %5.5 billion is allocated to secondary batteries. Global primary and secondary battery markets are expected to grow due to industrialization, gross domestic product (GDP), and economic growth. Because of the recent economic slowdown, many nations have set recovery plans in place, which would increase the demand for batteries across the global market. Because of China and India’s GDP rates, they have a greater opportunity to have higher growth rates within the battery industry. With the assurgency of digital cameras, phones, portable entertainment devices, computing devices, electronic automobiles, along with the consumer’s ability to buy, the demand for secondary batteries is expect to outperform the primary battery as the world moves forward towards rechargeable devices. Therefore, any new company looking to get into the battery monitoring industry have their work cut out for them. They must come up with new and innovative products/services that will keep up with the ever changing technology. For example, simply inventing a prototype similar to other products within the industry won’t cut it. The company entering the market has to make sure that whatever product that they have must enhance the other products in the market or be something completely different than what has already been seen. The automotive industry also shows potential for secondary batteries as the industry...

...weapon. I will explain what argument I will use and why I chose that argument. I will also explain why I didn’t chose the other argument. I will give you definitions of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, simple assault and simple battery. I would not chose argument number 2 Sharon should not be charged with aggravated assault and battery, but only simple assault and battery, since no deadly weapon was used. The reason I would chose this argument is because I would say the wine bottle was not a deadly weapon. I would research and see if there were cases that were similar to this case. I would prove that the wine bottle was not broken at the time of the event and that is why it was not a deadly weapon. Here is a case of a women hitting her husband with a wine bottle. Susan Van Cook, 42, of Trails End was charged with two misdemeanors (Leslie Korngold). I would not chose argument number 1 because it would be hard to prove by reasonable doubt that she did this because she was drunk. I am thinking that if you use argument number 1 you could also say she was afraid he was going to hit her first. I think that this argument would be too hard to prove. I could be wrong and this may be easier to prove then I think. Here are the definitions of aggravated assault and aggravated battery. aggravated assault n. the crime of physically attacking another person which results in serious bodily harm and/or is made with a deadly or dangerous weapon such as a gun, knife, sword, ax or blunt...

...Build Your Own Micro RC Surveillance Robot HOW DO YOU BUILD YOUR OWN MICRO RC SURVEILLANCE ROBOT? Why don't I show you how? Almost every roboticist has wanted to create a small Surveillance Robot at some point in their time. The biggest problem being the Receiver/Transmitter pairs are always too expensive. My solution: Extract the RC receiver from a small RC car and modify it for our purposes. By the end of this tutorial, you will create and modify an RC robot to do: 1. Direct Radio Control using the remote's joysticks. 2. Computer control via a microcontroller connected to the remote. Later, I plan on making this base teleoperational. When I do, I'll be sure to document it and continue the tutorial for it!!!!!!!!!! It will used the receiver from a $10 ZipZaps RC car purchased at a RadioShack (US) or a Microz GT car purchased at The Source (Canada). Any inexpensive RC car, though, will do. It will also use a wireless camera and 2 Solarbotics gear motors. The main goal of this robot always remains the same; to be able to perform surveillance that you could watch on your television or on your computer (this depends on the camera used). I broke this tutorial into steps for simplicity and organization of categories (why should you put the construction of chassis with building the electronics? :P) Now for some general examples of the design for the robot (you don't have to follow my example exactly).

...Energy Storage Moves Wind to Baseload Power LONDON -- The key to further wind sector success may be the ability to provide baseload power. New solutions based on lithium batteries can deliver convincing foundations to balance wind's variability. For more than two decades, practitioners have been developing control solutions to make operating wind energy plants more efficient. One of the latest projects commissioned by a Chinese operator was dedicated to energy storage. In China, feed-in regulations stipulate that 10 percent of the power installed from wind energy plants must be available via energy storage at any time for two hours. Norbert Hennchen, managing director of Freqcon in Walsrode, Hannover, Germany says lithium batteries possess the greatest technological potential with regards to saving energy, and therefore the ability of renewable energy sources to provide baseload power. The topic of storing renewable energy is currently on trend and is being discussed and implemented on many fronts. Energy density plays a big part in this. Pumped storage plants deliver approximately 0.5 kWh/m3 from an assumed drop height of 200 metres; in contrast, hydrogen plants deliver 500-2300 kWh/m3. With the latter, however, the efficiency of the energy supply is comparably low. Lithium battery systems are right in the middle, achieving approximately 125-400 kWh/m3 - and up to 2500 kWh/m3 under laboratory conditions. When on the subject of efficiency, Hennchen's eyes light up: "Such...

...what are the defenses available to the tortfeasors? Short answer: John and Leroy are both guilty of committing intentional torts. However, both parties have arguable defenses. More information is needed in regards to the events that took place prior to the man assaulting the woman and the amount of time that John was confined by Mr. McPhliien. Prior to determining the appropriate statues and the defenses each party may present, each intentional tort committed must first be explained. Intentional Torts: The first intentional tort was committed by John when he began shouting at the woman, approaching her in an aggressive manner, and by grabbing her wrist. Regardless of his relationship to the woman, John committed Assault and Battery by grabbing the woman’s wrist. The three basic elements of this tort include...

Zinc sulfate may be substituted for the sulfuric acid. The Daniell cell was a great improvement over the existing technology used in the early days of battery development. A later variant of the Daniell cell called the gravity cell or crowfoot cell was invented in the 1860s by a Frenchman named Callaud and became a popular choice for electrical telegraphy. The Daniell cell is a type of electrochemical cell invented in 1836 by John Frederic Daniell, a British chemist and meteorologist, and consisted of a copper pot filled with a copper sulfate solution, in which was immersed an unglazed earthenware container filled with sulfuric acid and a zinc electrode. He was searching for a way to eliminate the hydrogen bubble problem found in the voltaic pile, and his solution was to use a second electrolyte to consume the hydrogen produced by the first.

...BATTERY SAFETY AND OHMS LAW Battery Safety Basics- Do not overcharge or over-discharge. When the charger indicates that the batteries have been fully charged, you can remove them from the charger. Leaving batteries in a charger all night long or longer can cause them to be overcharged, which can result in battery failure (depending on the charger). Charging your battery over 4.25 volts can shorten its life-cycle and going over 4.5 volts can cause it to burst. Cease using your charger if this ever happens. Our recommendation on a good charger: Nitecore D2 Charger (2 Bay) or Nitecore D4 Charger (4 Bay) Efest LUC (2 Bay) Efest LUC (4 Bay) Efest Soda (2 Bay) Recharge batteries with a resting voltage below 3.6V as soon as possible. Leaving LiIon batteries in a discharged state will incur irreversible damage – creating a loss in capacity and a loss in cycles. Determining the exact voltage can be tricky, unless you have a Tank-O-Meter/Volt Meter. If you are building your own coils a Tank-O-Meter is great device to have because you can use it to test your coils and your batteries. Sure, you can always use a battery tester, but the majority of battery testers are not equipped for the types of batteries that are used in mods, or even test batteries under load condition. Do not short circuit your batteries. Short circuiting can cause a huge surge of current that will potentially burn out your battery, damage your mod, or even your face! Short circuits happen when the voltage...
