Testing and evaluating electrified vehicles presents various challenges. Dynamometer testing allows for repeatable evaluation of vehicle efficiency and emissions in a controlled environment. Different types of electrified vehicles, such as hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles, can be benchmarked using standardized drive cycles and comprehensive instrumentation. The degree of hybridization impacts potential fuel efficiency gains. Idle stop systems show varying fuel savings depending on the certification cycle used.
The document discusses the growing investment in research and development (R&D) in the Middle East. It notes that the region was historically a center of innovation and is again investing heavily in R&D to diversify their economies and meet the needs of growing populations. The Middle East's strategic location, infrastructure, large market, and young demographic make it attractive for global businesses to invest. While government investment currently dominates, the private sector must play a larger role to fully realize the region's innovation potential.

- Westminster Abbey is a Gothic church dating back to the mid-10th century where British monarchs have been crowned and buried for centuries. Notable for its medieval architecture and royal tombs.
This document provides information about dental school seminars and requirements for various dental schools. It outlines the sections and timing of the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT), requirements and admissions statistics for University of Toronto (UofT) and Western University dental schools, and briefly discusses other Canadian dental schools including Dalhousie, McGill, University of Alberta, and University of British Columbia. Prerequisites, deadlines, costs, and admissions profiles are summarized for each school.
The document discusses the testing and evaluation challenges of electrified vehicles in the United States. It notes the US goal of having 1 million plug-in electric vehicles on the road by 2015. It also outlines some of the unique facilities at Argonne National Laboratory that enable research into transportation technologies like batteries, fuel cells, and vehicle powertrains. Some of the key challenges mentioned include developing affordable vehicle technologies, building out electric vehicle infrastructure, and addressing performance expectations and fuel economy regulations.
The document summarizes eMobility in the USA, including:
- The US automotive industry is centered around the Great Lakes region but transplant manufacturers are increasingly located in the South.
- German and Japanese brands hold the largest market share in the US, at 44.2% and 40.3% respectively.
- Sales of electrified vehicles, especially hybrids like the Toyota Prius, have been growing each year and now total over 1.88 million vehicles sold since 1999.
This document discusses fostering innovation-led clusters through government support. It defines clusters as groups of co-located businesses and institutions in specific fields. Successful clusters are self-reinforcing and attract more businesses through collaboration between members. The keys to success include a combination of top-down government support and bottom-up collaboration, with a focus on developing talent, culture, policy/finance support, and infrastructure. Case studies highlight how Singapore, South Korea, Chile, and Russia's Skolkovo region have developed innovation clusters through long-term investments in education, skills training, business support programs, and legal/regulatory frameworks.
This document provides an overview of the mobile market trends in Germany in 2010-2011. It notes that 28 million new mobile devices were sold in 2010, with smartphones growing rapidly. While 10% of mobile users regularly access the mobile internet, certain apps and services like iOS are driving more usage. The mobile market has also seen significant segmentation with the rise of MVNOs and other carriers. Mobile data usage and adoption of 3G and new technologies like LTE are also growing dramatically. Dusseldorf is highlighted as a major hub for the mobile industry in Germany and Europe.
This document discusses film formation in coatings. The most important step in any coating process is the conversion of the coating from liquid to solid through film formation behavior and polymer glass transition temperature, which significantly impact the properties of a polymer. Thermoplastic coatings such as polyethylene and polypropylene melt on heating and re-solidify on cooling. The glass transition temperature is the temperature at which an amorphous polymer transitions between rubbery and glassy states, constituting an important mechanical property. Common coating techniques include dip coating, spraying, rolling, and spin coating.
