Global Marketing Network StartMeUp2 Emergency Jump Starter. A stack of Thin Format 6V P80 Polapulse, environmentally friendly batteries, developed by Polaroid Corp. (http://rbi.ims.ca/3851-541) to power its film packs, is the basis of this automotive emergency starter. Plugging the compact device into a cigarette lighter with the key in the accessory position begins recharging the car battery, which the 36V pack accomplishes in less than five minutes. The StartMeUp2's microcontroller eliminates any electronic surges to protect electrical and computer systems. Inventor:Patrick Dixon, (help@StartMeUp2.com) http://rbi.ims.ca/3851-542
SOFTWARE AIDS SMALL DEFIBRILLATOR
Access CardioSystems AccessAED Defibrillator.
Embedded algorithms allow non-experts to use this 7.3 x 3-inch defibrillator. Software adjusts current to match the impedance of the patient when the 200J shocks are administered. Non response of the patient will boost shock energy to 360J. Another algorithm monitors heart signals detected by the self-adhesive electrodes. If these waveforms do not indicate patterns of a heart attack, the defibrillator will not fire . The AED user interface contains nearly 20 languages for both display and voice cues.

POLYMER, PROCESS PUMP UP TIRE
Carefree Tire. A patented, roughly 50/50 A and B polymer mix, centrifugally cast, produces this flat-free tire for industrial, construction, and garden equipment. Once the high density Arnco (http://rbi.ims.ca/3851-544) polyurethane blend is mixed, it is spun in a mold for distribution. Meanwhile, an exothermic chemical reaction generates microscopic gas cells throughout the polymer elastomer matrix of the resulting tire. This "solid" tire is resilient like an inflated tire but does not lose its load carrying ability or shape if punctured.

Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
