WATERTOWN, Mass — A123 Systems Inc., which makes lithium-ion batteries for cars, narrowed its loss in the fourth quarter as its sales rose.

The company on Tuesday said it lost $22.3 million, or 22 cents per share, in the three months that ended Dec. 31, compared with a net loss of $28.5 million, or $3.08, a year earlier. The company’s revenue rose to $24.5 million from $23.6 million in the same period a year earlier.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters on average expected the company to lose 22 cents per share.

A123 went public in September, and it’s signed a series of deals since.

In January, the company agreed to supply Fisker Automotive, a high-tech startup company, with batteries for its Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid vehicle, which is to launch late this year.

A123 also will supply General Motors Co. partner SAIC Motor Corp. with batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.

CEO David Vieau said in a statement that the company’s “momentum is strong entering 2010.”

For all of 2009, A123 lost $85.8 million, or $2.55 a share, compared with a loss of $80.5 million, or $9.04, in 2008. Full-year revenue rose 33 percent to $91 million.

A123’s shares edged up 29 cents to $17.04 after hours Tuesday. They closed the regular session unchanged at $16.75.

It’s happened to the best of us - you’re out and about and suddenly realize that your phone is about to die. We all love rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but they’re not exactly an easy power source to replace while on-the-go.

That’s where the Olice FvrOn mobile phone comes in. Available only in India (for now), it claims to be the country’s first dual-powered cell phone. That means that while it does come with a standard rechargeable battery, it can also be powered via a standard AAA battery.

The device also has a built-in FM tuner, a 1.5-inch color display, and a packed-in stereo headset.

Well, it’s certainly not an iPhone (you’d need 50 C batteries to charge that guy), but it is a novel idea for the minimalistic phone user. And it’s nice to see that the Energizer bunny is still relevant to some capacity.

The District Attorney’s office has filed a charge against Redlands East Valley High School athlete Tyler Shreve following his alleged Feb. 24 assault of a school baseball coach.

Shreve, 18, was charged Friday with one misdemeanor count of battery on a school official. He faces a $2,000 fine and up to one year in county jail if convicted, said Susan Mickey, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.

He is scheduled to appear in court on May 16 for an arraignment.

Calls seeking comment from Tony Shreve - Tyler’s father - were not returned Saturday.

The citation stems from an incident on campus involving Shreve and Head Baseball Coach James Cordes, who notified the 6-foot-4 senior he was being dismissed from the baseball team.

According to Tony Shreve, he pulled his son off Cordes after he “wrestled him to the ground.” He said no punches were thrown during the incident.

Cordes declined to comment on the incident.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies were called to the school to investigate, and acted on a citizen’s arrest at Cordes’ request.

The report was then forwarded to the San Bernardino District Attorney’s office.

Battery against a school employee could be classified as a felony, according to the California Penal Code. Prosecutors said the severity of Cordes’ injuries did not warrant a felony charge.

The Redlands Unified School

District has not yet released word on the results of a disciplinary hearing Wednesday to decide the consequences of Shreve’s actions.
At a Redlands Optimist Club meeting Thursday, Redlands East Valley Principal John Maloney refused to comment on the matter.

“I will talk to you about anything in the world, but I won’t talk to you about school,” he said.

Pat Hafley, athletic director for the Redlands Unified School District, also refused to comment during a brief phone conversation Saturday.

Shreve’s future in collegiate athletics is still in limbo.

He signed a letter of intent to attend the University of Utah after he was offered a football scholarship. Utah’s Head Football Coach Kyle Whittingham said the school will wait until the final resolution of the case before commenting on the status of Shreve’s scholarship.

As a quarterback at REV, Shreve passed for 4,732 yards and 54 touchdowns in helping the school compile a 33-4 record.

In the production of electric vehicles, regardless of BYD, battery or Mercedes-Benz, would like to find the best partner. Mercedes-Benz is the world’s most famous car companies, is one of the most experienced one of the car; while BYD in electric vehicle technology also has advanced technology, while relying on the world’s largest car market. Mercedes-Benz hopes to seize the business opportunities in electric cars, the best things introduced into China, while BYD must also rely on the powerful Mercedes-Benz R & D experience, a breakthrough in passenger car design. The partnership, whether or Mercedes-Benz Group, BYD CEO Zetsche, president Wang Chuanfu consider themselves to find the best partner.

Cooperation is not accidental. Daimler is a zero-emission driving system architecture developed by leading companies. It is reported that Mercedes-Benz has introduced electric version of smart, and plans to introduce a pure electric version of this year, Mercedes-Benz A-Class. BYD entered the cell area in 1995, with the leading battery production technology, since 2003 to enter the automotive sector for five consecutive years since the rapid growth of China’s fastest-growing automobile industry. December 2008 BYD launch of the world’s first dual-mode electric vehicle F3DM, will soon introduce a pure electric vehicles e6.

Electric cars will become the world’s largest zero-emission car market, Daimler-in electric vehicle structure and safety of the area of proprietary technology and BYD excellent vehicle batteries and drive technology is a perfect combination. We have reason to believe: Mercedes-Benz and BYD will be the prospects for cooperation immeasurable.

March 3, to Sichuan to visit Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Omiya, wise president said, will go to Dongfang Electric Group, on cooperation in development of lithium-ion battery materials projects in-depth discussion. The lithium-ion batteries will be used in electric buses into low-carbon transport development of clean energy.

In 2002, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with gas in the gas engine in the East to cooperate. The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, another project with a more specific intention to come: There are discussing co-operation with the construction of the Sichuan city of low-carbon energy efficiency model and demonstration project, and the initial development of choice as a low-carbon city of Deyang City, co-pilot, from Deyang City, , Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, East gas three work together to build the implementation. At the same time, the province will benefit from 239 million tons of annual coal consumption of the enterprises in the selection of several companies to carry out low-carbon demonstration plant for co-pilot.

It is reported that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to establish liaison offices in Chengdu this month to promote co-operation with the Dongfang Electric.

Laptops can never be too thin, so manufacturers keep trying to trim precious ounces off their systems. Today, two of them are touting new portables that are the lightest in their respective niches.

Panasonic has introduced the Toughbook C1, which is apparently the lightest 12.1-inch convertible tablet (in case anyone was wondering). It weighs in at 3.2 pounds with battery, but still boasts an Intel Core i5-520 processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, 250GB hard drive, LED-backlit and multi-touch-enabled screen, and optional mobile broadband integration. In keeping with the Toughbook approach, the C1 can withstand a 30-inch drop (thanks to the shock-mounted hard drive), 225 pounds of pressure, and up to 6 ounces of spilled liquid. Panasonic also claims that the tablet offers up to 10 hours of battery life. The C1 is due in June with prices starting at $2,499.

Averatec, meanwhile, has stuck around the laptop world focusing on slim systems, and its new N1200 is strutting its stuff as the lightest 10-inch netbook around. It’s also the thinnest at under an inch thick. The 2.2-pound version comes in two configurations: The $329.99 model offers Windows XP Home and the $349.99 comes with Windows 7 Starter instead. There’s also a slightly heavier model (2.46 pounds) that comes with an extended battery (doubling the battery life to roughly six hours) and a larger 250GB hard drive for $379.99. (The lighter models come with 160GB hard drives.) All three configurations are powered by the Intel Atom N450 CPU, and have 1GB of RAM, LED-backlit wide-screen displays, and integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi. The N1200 stays svelte thanks to a hard drive that’s just 7 millimeters thick and a magnesium-alloy case. It will be available this month through online retailers like BestBuy.com and TigerDirect.

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested a man Monday who is wanted on multiple assault and battery charges where he allegedly tried to strangle the victim several times while continuously beating her.

Foster Jermall Gibbs, 26, wanted by Escambia Sheriff’s Office was arrested at a home on Theresa Street in Pensacola. Deputy Marshals along with Task Force Officers from Escambia and Okaloosa Sheriff’s Offices, and a K9 Task Force Officer from Pensacola Police Department were assisted by Escambia Patrol deputies.

The warrant charges Gibbs with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, domestic battery by strangulation, burglary with assault or battery and property damage.

According to police reports, Gibbs kicked in the front door of the victim’s house. He attacked the victim while she was in bed. The victim tried to run away several times but each time he caught her. The report also states that he kicked her and grabbed a knife from the kitchen and threatened to kill her. At one point, Gibbs supposedly used a piece of the broken door frame and struck the victim before she finally escaped. The report also indicates that the victim’s children were home during the attack. Gibbs was brought to Escambia County Jail.

“Because of the extreme threat of violence he posed to the community we made him public enemy #1 until we tracked him down and locked him up,” said Supervisory Inspector Ross Hebert with the Task Force.

The latest issue of the British “Nature” magazine published a report that marine sediment bacteria in the sediments of the metal will make use of mineral composition, the formation of nanometer-scale, “wire” as a biochemical reaction caused by bacteria conduction current occurs, As a result, bacteria and sediments formed around a natural battery.

Institutions such as the University of Aarhus, Denmark, the researchers report that the upper and lower marine sediment bacteria are present, bacteria will be more contact with the upper part of the water of oxygen, while the lower contact with the bacteria in the sediment organic matter, so they gradually formed a division of labor, the upper part of bacteria responsible for “breathing”, that is, oxidation reaction, while the lower part of bacteria responsible for “eat”, that is, decomposition of organic matter. This process requires electronic spread from the lower part of the upper part.

Nelson said the researchers, in order to achieve this electronic transmission, the bacteria will use some sort of its own composition, removal of metals in sediments around mineral composition, and form an orderly arrangement, to form the final nano-conductive “wires.” As nanotechnology “wire” the existence of bacteria and biochemical reaction can be an endless stream of conduction electrons, and thus generate electricity.

According to reports, although this current is very weak, but if the use of network equipment will be large areas of seabed currents collected, or get some practical use, for example, for floating in the sea on the long-term power monitoring equipment.
