Fri, 22 Jun 2007 03:06:12 GMT - First Documented Color Photo of an Automobile
When Ted Turner's Atlanta TV people began colorising old black & white films there was an instant backlash from traditional movie enthusiasts. Not from me, though..... I loved them. "How could you?" my ex-and-still-good-friend Maggie (who is a knowledgeable movie buff) asked me. "Because they bring reality to the screen," I replied "and if you'll notice, the depth of field is greatly increased so that backgrounds are much clearer." Even simple things like art objects used as props come to life when given color. Mine was a losing argument inasmuch as .........

To paraphrase US TV network Comedy Central's South Park, that's a whole lot of smug. Since Toyota first started selling the first generation Prius sedan in 1997, more than 750,000 Priuses have been sold worldwide since. Toyota calculates that the more than one million Toyota hybrid models currently sold over the period have reduced global carbon emissions by 3.5 million tons (that's a lot of gas). .........

In addition the car features a 221 hp electric motor to make it greener than an aircraft carrier or a hummer as it cuts the carbon footprint by one fourth. .........

Tue, 15 May 2007 05:44:30 GMT - The "driving" force behind electric vehicles
Cultural differences between countries run right to the heart of government, thereby influencing technological innovation. This is reported in a comparative study by David Calef and Robert Goble published recently in the journal Policy Sciences(1). The authors outline efforts taken throughout the 1990s by both the US and French governments to adopt legislation fostering technological innovation to improve urban air quality by promoting clean vehicles, specifically electric vehicles (EVs). The study highlights the differences in approach and policy-making style by both governments and how this might have affected the final outcome........

Crash test injuries analyzed with CT imaging provide valuable data that can help engineers develop safer cars and reduce the severity of injuries during car accidents, as per a new study by scientists from The Ohio State University in Columbus. For the study, two human cadavers were hit with a device that simulates a blunt impact equivalent to car collisions. CT imaging of the rib cages of the cadavers waccording toformed to evaluate the damage caused by the impact. "We observed that injuries to the rib cage caused by the simulated car collision could be identified on the Computerized axial tomography scans and that the CT results correlated with the usual, more involved methods of body damage analysis, which makes use of high speed videos and data from sensors attached to more than 30 locations on the body during the impact," said Steffen Sammet, MD, PhD, lead author of the study........
