The Model Fuel Library is a subscription-based library which includes more than 40 fully validated, self-consistent components that can be used to simulate fuel effects in virtually all types of automotive and aircraft engines, as well as engines used for electric power generation. Part of the industry doesn’t know that yet.

Up to a 35% gain in fuel efficiency in heavy drive cycles is achieved by regenerating the braking energy that is normally wasted to heat, and using this energy instead of the internal combustion engine for acceleration. This is higher than the industry standard operating pressure of 5,000 psi (350 bar).

I made my peace with the notion of a transition vehicle, with a plug and an engine. But there wasn't much discussion about faster charging options, as it entails additional obstacles of cost and lack of standards and a presumption that cars wouldn't be fast-charge enabled. GM announced the Volt.

To date, niche manufacturers have had to develop their own packs each time or source parts from used EVs. Swindon believes that its HED is the first commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) battery pack available, developed specifically for such users to buy as a single unit or in low, mid or high volumes.

For years, Shadow Robot Company ’s Shadow Hand has arguably been the gold standard for robotic manipulation. Shadow Robot understands that despite its best engineering efforts, this new hand will still occasionally break (because it’s a robot and that’s what robots do), so the company designed it to be modular and easy to repair.

To help meet increasingly stringent fuel efficiency and CO 2 targets, engine control systems must optimize the ignition and fuel injection timing to match a variety of conditions, such as current combustion and driving status. Intended as a next-generation automotive CAN communication standard, the CAN FD accelerates the maximum throughput.

Because there are only a few Chinese-made EVs available now and likely in the near term in the US, there will be very little actual impact on automakers and overall sales of electric vehicles in the US. BYD Factor Lancaster, CA – Source: BYD Bus. Kandi K27 – Source: Kandi.

Out in the desert as part of Burning Man , our encampment, Snow Koan Solar, is setting up a solar photovoltaic EV Charging Station (at 7:30 and Desert) for electric scooters, golf carts, sofas and barstools. The plug-in Priuses are almost doubling the fuel efficiency of Google standard Prius fleet, getting 74 MPG rather than 41 MPG.

To fully support Requirements Management (RM) best practices, a tool needs to support traceability, versioning, reuse, and Product Line Engineering (PLE). This is especially true when designing large complex systems or systems that follow standards and regulations. and IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle (ELM) suite of tools.
