...for large companies, the Apple iPad can be difficult to set up for multiple users on a single iPad. Setting up devices for each work station can be very costly, as it requires its own hardware for each workstation. The iPad runs faster with the A6X chip, which launches the applications faster and makes the device run faster. The device can support a wide range of virtual private networks, which makes the device secure. The Toshiba Excite 13 Tablet is a little bigger than the iPad, which can make it harder to transport, but easier to use when at home or in the office. It is about the size of a regular notebook, so transportation really won’t be difficult. It is an easy to use device and makes it easy for people to multitask with. The battery on this device does not last as long as other tablets last, which can make it difficult to use when out in the field. Users can share files and reports with an SD card or...

...solar charger industry has been plagued by companies mass-producing low efficiency solar chargers that don't meet the consumer's expectations . This in turn has made it hard for new solar charger companies to gain the trust of consumers. Solar companies are finally starting to offer high-efficiency solar chargers. When it comes to permanently installed public solar chargers, Strawberry energy Company from Serbia has invented and developed the first public solar charger for mobile devices, Strawberry Tree. Due to a built in rechargeable battery which stores energy, it can function without sunshine or at night. The JOOS Orange by SolarJOOS. Rural African Villagers Holding Portable Solar Charger Portable solar power is being utilized in developing countries to power lighting as opposed to utilizing kerosene lamps which are responsible for respiratory infections, lung and throat cancers, serious eye infections, cataracts as well as low birth weights. [2] Solar power provides an opportunity for rural areas to "leapfrog" traditional grid infrastructure and move directly to distributed energy solutions. Some solar chargers also have an on-board battery which is charged by the solar panel when not charging anything else. This allows the user to be able to use the solar energy stored in the battery to charge their electronic devices at night or when indoors. An example of a mobile charger is by Germany-based company Changers, who created a separate charger and battery system...

...but also torque when temperatures drop below 15 degrees Celsius. The following experiment will address the issue of temperature variation and the effect it has on the speed and distance travelled of an electric Rickshaw. The results of this study can be used in the design of electric battery storage and insulation. Literature Review There are numerous tips to improve electric vehicle performance, namely altering the way the vehicle is used. There is little language in the way of battery insulation, which will be the method used in this experiment. Of note, SAE International (2011) concluded that tested energy consumption varies based on driving ability and duties performed by the vehicle, such as heating and advanced audio systems. Electric vehicle performance is dictated not just by temperature, but deteriorates substantially based off of nonessential features. Official reports on the charging and battery efficiency of the EV during the test period to present a total plug-to-wheel EV efficiency when operated over both regulated and real world drive cycles (Cenex 2012). For this experiment, the vehicle will be operated under normal conditions, then the temperature of the battery will be altered using towels and a rubber water bottle. The vehicle to be used during the experiments provides basic...

...Your T-Mobile myTouch 4G User guide Before you do anything else, please read this Charge the battery The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. While your phone is charging, it’s important that you do not remove the battery pack. Doing so can damage your phone. Also, please don’t try to take your phone apart. (If you do, it may invalidate your warranty.) Choose a rate plan wisely Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly. Before you use your phone, we strongly recommend that you talk to T-Mobile about data rates. If you’re on a standard data plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could be a lot cheaper. Know about privacy laws Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record phone conversations. For example, you may need to tell the person you’re speaking to before you start recording. It’s a good idea to find out what the laws are where you live before you use your phone’s recording feature.

...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...

...that offer similar products to consumers. Energizer has been around since 1986 and has grown into a mutli- billion dollar company within the last decade. Duracell first got started in the 1920’s from two scientists, and finally become a brand in 1964. This paper will discuss the two companies’ background, the competition between the two, and how they will thrive to compete in the market place in future. Energizer Energizer is formerly known as Eveready Battery Company and changes its name in the late 1980’s. By the 1990, Energizer has established their brand and had over 30 percent of the domestic market. They were trailing Duracell by 10 percent, who at that time had 40 percent of the domestic market. Energizer is the manufacturer of dry cell batteries and flashlights, with a full line production of in three major categories: alkaline, carbon zinc, miniature and rechargeable batteries. They produce more than six billion battery cells annually and has became a global leader in dynamic business of producing portable power in more than 160 countries.

...hassle-free, noise-free and portable Solar powered charger which could be used to charge mobile phones and will be as efficient as an ordinary wall phone changer. Solar energy has been proven to be a good alternative source of energy by many and has been an eco-friendly energy source. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Mobile phones are currently the most popular form of gadget and wireless communication in almost every part of the world. In estimation by the International Telecommunication Union, there are over 6.8 billion cellphone users and the number is still growing fast as technology gets better, innovative and the cost of production gets higher for branded phones, while lower for those non-branded phones. According to G. Chiang and S. Bajaj (2011), the average lifetime of a cellphone battery is only around 8-12 hours with moderate usage. This has become very inconvenient for those people who are constantly on the road or preoccupied with work. A person has to bring a wall phone charger and look for a power source or outlet in order to charge. Meanwhile, with the portable solar-powered phone charger, it is a device that only uses the rays of the sun of a minimum amount as energy source to be able to charge a mobile phone. Cellphones are then charged without the need to plug it into a power source. One of the advantages of using a solar-powered phone charger is its efficiency, non-hassle portability. You won’t need a wall phone charger to be able to charge your mobile...
