GPS based Intelligent Robofish School to Discover Pollutant in Water

2010, the year where scientists are busy in research to recreate school of robofish to monitoring the pollution level in water. They are quit intense to develop intelligent robofish into the gloomy depths of sea.

The robofish are absolutely looks like real fishes. The pool of robofish have created by the scientists of University of Essex which is situated in Colchester,England. The robotic fish’s body contains in-built a Global Positioning System (GPS) and wi-fi sensors that discovers the scope of a pollution in water. These fishes do two type of operation first is autonomous swimming and remote-controlled swimming. GPS has evolved into a advance used aid to navigation across the world. Automated electric motor drives the motion of fins and tails. Remote control system takes control over the every moment of fishes. There is also a facility of hidden camera which allows fishes to swim independently, follow target and avoid obstacles.

The function that is being used by robofish is to catch the pollutants in the depths of the River Thames. After discovering pollutant, they start sending off the signal to other member of their pool. GPS determine facilitates day to day activities of robotic fished. This intelligent machine grabs all the information about the particular area, generates detailed report and then delivers to humans where we can develop 3D maps of that particular pollutant area. These super cool systems allow us in finding solution how to rid our rivers, oceans of pollution.

With the launch of this model Hyundai plans to enter in the mid-sized SUV market in India. The Hyundai Santa Fe price comes in the range of Rs 23,00,000 to 25,00,000. The Hyundai Santa Fe price is set to compete with other SUV of this segment like Honda CR-V, Ford Endeavour and Chevrolet Captiva.

The Hyundai Santa Fe’s no featherweight, satellite GPS navigation system and features like its six standard airbags and active front head restraints give it the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s vaunted Top Safety Pick It also earned five-star crash-test ratings in front- and side-impact tests. But its standard Electronic Stability Control, tidy handling, and intelligent braking systems help prevent you from having to rely on its brute strength alone.

The 2009 Santa Fe is a 4-door, up to 7-passenger sport-utility, available in 6 trims, ranging from the GLS to the Limited AWD. Upon introduction, the GLS is equipped with a standard 2.7-liter, V6, 185-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The Limited AWD is equipped with a standard 3.3-liter, V6, 242-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

The Hyundai Santa Fe delivers safety(with GPS navigation system)and especially value, but lackluster performance prevents it from standing out in a competitive segment. For 2010, the Santa Fe receives a new 2.4-liter base engine and a slightly tweaked exterior

jaguar XE Roadster

When the Indian car maker Tata Motors became the new owner of Jaguar last year there were concerns expressed from the cross-section of the industry concerning Jaguar’s future as a brand.

However, these anxieties were laid to rest when Ratan Tata reiterated its vision for Jaguar and many have judged it an appealing one. Although Jaguar’s current position in the midst of the economic upheaval is just the same as the rest, it has determined to weather the financial storm and plans to succeed. Among other things, Tata’s plan for the Jaguar brand consists of a fresh roadster. It was established by the Indian carmaker (according to needs and requirements in India and having an GPS suitable for the Indian roads) that the roadster’s development was well within schedule and it was at the design stage at present. There are reports coming out saying that the Jaguar roadster will not make it to its intended 2011 launch.
This however will provide Jaguar the time needed to come up with a new plug-in hybrid option in addition to the roadster. There will be a fuel-efficient three-cylinder gasoline unit coupled to an electric motor powered by lithium-ion batteries. It is a fact that the government of UK has released funding for Jaguar to facilitate the rapid development of technologies that aim at cutting emissions. Other reports say that Jaguar will also be coming out with a plug-in hybrid option(with GPS) for its XJ flagship saloon that coming out soon.
It is expected that the top of the range roadster will be powered by the new 5.0-liter V8 unit that produces 510hp (380kW) equipped with a supercharger and for the standard trim it will be the same engine but producing only 385hp (287kW). Even Jaguar’s 3.0-liter V6 diesel produces 272hp (203kW) and 442lb-ft (600Nm) of torque. The highly efficient GPS navigation system adds another feather in the cap for the features of the jaguar। Recently, it was reported that Jaguar has registered the C-XE trademark with the British Intellectual Property Office, a clear indication that the XE is coming out in concept form at least। Since the previous concept model of the XF was dubbed the C-XF, it clearly points to an XE roadster model.

Volkswagen Up!

Volkswagen, Europe's largest car maker, after the magnificent launch of its lavishing cars in India is about to launch its cute small car, the VW Up! At a price of around Rs 3 lakh in 2010-2011. The Volkswagen Up! Was shown off for the first time at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Then, the car was planned as a rear-engine, rear wheel drive car, much in the footsteps of the VW Beetle.

It still more or less maintains the looks of the Up! Concept, but is much wider and longer, the current Volkswagen Up! – the one which is headed for India – will be a normal front wheel drive, front-engine car. According to the Auto Car story, Volkswagen expects to sell 1 lakh units of the Up! In India, positioning it against the A-Star and the Hyundai i10. On coolness factor alone, priced similarly, the VW Up! Has a very good chance to give those two cars a run for their money.

The engine of the VW Up! Would definitely come from the Volkswagen parts bin which also comprises Skoda engines. Do not expect something that is much more powerful than the current crop of B-segment cars though – that would drive prices up, and Volkswagen definitely does not want the Up! To end up as another Skoda Fabia.. Volkswagen will likely utilize its plants at Aurangabad, and the upcoming Pune plant, to produce the Up! in India at affordable prices. The car would cost only 900 euros to build in India, while VW plans to sell it in Europe at 9000 Euros. Garmin is working with VW to add a new Garmin GPS to your car along with a custom mount that will keep the unit well positioned to the outboard side of the driver, and is based on the Nuvi 7X5 series.

Features:

The Up interior is made to seat 4 adults in comfort and featured a unique flat folding seat system. The seats are air inflatable so the seats fit every body shape. Up also has a unique central displays, two monitors, one 8 inch monitor shows the vehicle speed, fuel level and range, as well as your CO2 emissions.

The second 7 inch monitor controls climate control, radio volume, music selection, telephone, navigation, photos and movies etc. Up measures 3.45 meters (11.3 ft) and has a width of 1.63 meters. The engine would likely be a 1.1 liter 3 cylinder units or a 1.2 liter unit, the car is a typical hatchback with 4 doors and a hatch. The centerpiece of the Up! Light power train is the newly designed 0.8 TDI two-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a power of 38 kW / 51 PS. Furthermore, the electric motor (10 kW) – designed as a pulse start module (starter, alternator and E-drive) – also reduces the load of the TDI, provides added propulsion (boosting) and works to recover kinetic energy (regenerative braking). During boost phases – e.g. in a quick passing maneuver – the TDI and E-motor combine for a total power of 48 kW / 65 PS. The system offers a safe and perfectly matched solution, for upgrading a Volkswagen with a GPS navigation unit. It looks definitely a class above its competition.
