It took a career night from their catcher and a scoreless effort from the pitching staff for the San Diego Padres to win a series.

Nick Hundley homered, had three hits and drove in three runs, and Kevin Correia pitched 5 strong innings to help the Padres to a 5-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.

The Padres had lost each of their first four series, laptop battery  and four series in a row to Arizona, before winning the last two nights.

“I thought we played a solid game,” manager Bud Black said. “It was well-pitched, obviously, starting with Kevin and all the way through the end. We had some great defensive plays along the way. A good, clean all-around game.”

Hundley tied a career high with three RBIs, including his first homer — a solo shot in the fourth against Arizona starter Kris Benson (0-1). The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Reno before the game and made just his third big league start since 2006.

“It’s always nice to get on the board,” Hundley said of his homer. “It takes a little pressure off me. It was a hanging curveball. A ball up in the zone a little bit, and I was fortunate enough to square it up. I didn’t know if it was high enough to get out, but fortunately it snuck out.”

Toyota plans to keep the price of the new Prius model at a level similar to those of current models as it aims to strengthen its lead in the hybrid market, the daily said.

The new Prius minivan will offer a spacious interior and improved fuel economy, and will likely feature three rows of seats for carrying five to seven people, the paper said.

The company will initially manufacture lithium ion batteries at its Teiho factory in Aichi Prefecture, and later plans to produce them at Panasonic EV Energy Co, a battery joint venture with Panasonic Corp (6752.T), the Nikkei said.

A lithium-ion battery can pack more electricity than a nickel-metal hydride counterpart, enabling a hybrid car to run longer on a single charge. (Reporting by Vinay Sarawagi in Bangalore; Editing by Anne Pallivathuckal)

Double-glass solar panels solar BIPV (BIPV) a key part. BIPV is solar power (PV) products into the technical architecture. It is different from traditional single-glass solar panels attached to the building on (BAPV) form, can be made of glass walls, translucent roof, battery , so that solar and building up the perfect combination. PV and building integrated BIPV products, and construction market as a huge potential of the PV market point of integration between the two, there is broad prospects for development.

High-tech Zone, Dalian good news yesterday, settled in the valley here in Dalian Forest New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Electric double-glass solar panels trial success, and has applied for national patent. This marks the Dalian municipal enterprises in the solar photovoltaic industry, technology has taken a big step.

After testing, Moriya new energy company’s dual glass solar panels for various technical indicators have reached the application of standards. This marks the city enterprises in the key components of building integrated solar PV and technology has entered the domestic front.

Last year, the Moriya energy company with an annual output of new 5-megawatt solar panel production line. The line is the city supporting the first use of special equipment, advanced production lines, production of a variety of polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon solar panels solar power projects to meet the demand. This year, Moriya re-focus on the development of new energy companies, solar panels and two glass production technology and production technology, and success.

Recently, German government agencies - the Federal Network Authority (Federal Network Agency) announced in 2009 in Germany set up solar power (PV) system installed capacity has reached rated 3.8GW (380 万 kW), while the total installed capacity has reached Rated 9.8GW. PV system installation in 2009 the surge in output of 1.6 times in 2008.

2009, 10 to 12 months 3 months to install the surge in volume for the installed capacity in 2009 3.8GW made great contributions to the realization. Specific to, 1 to 9 at the end of the cumulative installed approximately 1.5GW, the substantial growth of 10 to 12 months, reaching 2.3GW.

Installation of the reasons for the surge in output has not yet disclosed, but the view was expressed that the second half of 2009 has been predicted, the German fixed-price purchase of renewable energy system (FIT: feed-in tariffs) of the purchase price will be lower in 2010, resulting in emergency needs.

Today, the most advanced non-destructive repair of waste lead-acid battery technology, the founders - Shenzhen Vidi O Electronics Co., Ltd., and a rising star in the field - Shenzhen Didi U.S. Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., with the appearance while the Shenzhen Municipal Government Pavilion Chongqing Hi-Tech Fair Ninth & Fifth International Junbo will.

Lead-acid battery has been invented a hundred years of history, and is widely used in transportation, finance, communications, power and defense industries. But it has a fatal flaw - plate irreversible sulphation, the data show that China annually scrapped because of this the number of lead-acid batteries have Jin Yi, with a total weight of 1 million tons. It is understood that the Government spent lead-acid batteries have been included in the national hazardous waste list, we can see that early lead-acid battery scrap, not only caused great waste of resources, but also to deal with these discarded batteries, it will cause great environmental pollution.

However, with the “non-destructive remediation of waste lead-acid battery,” the birth of the situation or to be contained and reversed. According to exhibitors, their use of electronic pulse frequency sweep oscillation technology, the use of physical methods, electronic methods of cracking the previous peer-chemical methods can not solve problems of the century, related technologies and products have been a number of invention patents, and authoritative bodies identification.

Therefore, the wide application of this technology can make a large number of failures of lead-acid batteries were recycled scrap, but also in the use of lead-acid batteries can significantly extend the service life, but also the new production of lead-acid batteries are relatively constrained, it Waste lead-acid batteries will promote the reduction, recycling and safe disposal of providing comprehensive solutions to pollution control and development of lead-acid battery recycling economy closely integrated, will produce huge social and economic immeasurable benefits.

The highlight of Doug Parks’ career occurred last August when Vice President Joe Biden came to Michigan to announce $2.4 billion in grants for the electric vehicle industry from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Projects in Michigan received $1.36 billion, or more than half, of that money.

“It was an amazing day,” said Parks, 50. He’s a senior vice president of the Michigan Economic Development Corp.

Parks, an MEDC employee since 1997, has led much of that electric effort, which has included the strategy to lure battery makers to the state first in hopes other related businesses would follow. So far, he said, 16,000 jobs related to electric cars and their components will be created.

From 2006 to 2009, he was vice president of new market development. Last year, he was appointed senior vice president of business development and attraction.

Before he joined MEDC, Parks was a vice president at Valassis Communications. Parks grew up in Waterford and graduated in 1982 from what’s now Lake Superior State University with a bachelor’s degree in history and military science. He’s also a former U.S. Army intelligence officer.

According to the World Health Organization, 1.2 billion people – or almost 1 out of 5 people in the world – are without access to safe drinking water.  And even in areas with access, 70 percent of water withdrawn from fresh groundwater sources is used for agriculture.

But using groundwater to grow crops and trees doesn’t make sense to Pieter Hoff, a Dutch inventor. Not only are traditional irrigation techniques inefficient because most of the water is lost to evaporation, Mr. Hoff says, but water can be easily captured from the atmosphere to grow just about anything.

To prove his point, Mr. Hoff retired from the lily and tulip export business in 2003, established his company, AquaPro, and devoted himself to the development of the Groasis Waterboxx, which he says will grow food crops and trees even in the driest places on earth.

The Waterboxx is a round device made from polypropylene and about the size of car tire — 20 inches in diameter and 10 inches high. An opening at the center of the box provides a space for a plant or tree to germinate and grow.

The box is designed to capture both rainwater and condensation, which collects in the chamber underneath the cover, and prevents the water from evaporating. Mr. Hoff describes it as a “water battery.”

A wick inside taps into the ground beneath the box and drips a small amount of water to the plant’s root system each day. Once the plant or tree has taken root on its own, reaching a water source sometimes several meters below, the box can be removed and used again to start another plant or tree.
Mr. Hoff has recently concluded a three-year test of the Groasis Waterboxx in the Sahara desert in Morocco, an area that gets only a few inches of rainfall each year. Almost 90 percent of the trees planted using the Groasis Waterboxx survived after it was removed.

A test group of trees planted without the box, but watered once a week, produced the opposite result: only 10 percent survived.

This year, Mr. Hoff said he will be conducting more trials across eight countries and some 25 sites, including California wine country and Joshua Tree National Park.

Using a grant from the Dutch government, he has also developed a biopolymer version of the box that will decompose over time, releasing nutrients into the soil as it biodegrades. His long-term business model is to provide a nonexclusive, free license to anyone who wants to manufacture and distribute the Groasis Waterbox, while he plans to ask only for a small royalty per box.

A Dutch company has already signed on.

“My ideal is that the device is available to everybody, everywhere,” said Mr. Hoff, “and my focus is to create a business model that enables the world’s poor to buy the box.”

He is talking to a Dutch bank about setting up a micro-finance scheme to enable farmers in developing countries to buy the Waterboxx.

But beyond helping to solve the water crisis, Mr. Hoff said he believed his invention could promote reforestation on a large scale to address other global problems like hunger, erosion and climate change caused by global warming.

“If we were able to plant two billion hectares with trees we could solve many of the world’s problems,” he said. “We have cut down about two billion hectares of trees in the last 2000 years. So if it’s small enough to cut it, it’s small enough to replant it again if we want.”

When the rise of technology of new energy materials main business areas are mainly engaged in lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese multiple materials and other small lithium battery, power lithium cathode materials development, production and sales operations, is a leading professional supplier of cathode materials for lithium business.

Lithium is the 20th century, developed 90 new green secondary battery, the last decade developing rapidly, in a small secondary battery market holds the largest market share, has become the application of the chemical power of the most competitive battery . Relative to lead-acid batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, rechargeable batteries, lithium batteries with high energy density, long cycle life, self-discharge rate is small, no memory effect and highlight the advantages of green environmental protection. Lithium batteries as the technology advances in people’s lives have been widely used, such as portable electronic products, new energy, transportation and energy storage and other fields.

Lithium batteries in portable electronic products such as notebook computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and digital video cameras and other widely used products, including notebook computers and cell phones in use of the maximum. Since 2008, the financial crisis on the global consumer electronics has brought a certain extent. But with the national policy of gradual economic stimulus markedly, notebook computers, mobile phones and other portable electronic products, sales have maintained a good momentum in 2009 the global notebook sales still grew 18.71% in 2008, showing a trend of rapid growth, mainly the growth rate of firms will reach 14.67%.

Meanwhile, with the 3G, next generation Internet and other new information technology and popularization of portable electronic products market will maintain long-term prosperity of the state. For example, in the Chinese market in 2008, 3G mobile phone production and sales growth, total annual sales of 6,637 million, up 90%. Apple Computer recently launched a new portable tablet computer products iPAD, immediately set off in the global information and electronic industry a new boom, Tablet PC was seen as the next king of new electronic products. Such as these, 3G mobile phones, iPAD diverse functions such as product demand and standby capacity of the lithium battery, security, performance and cycle performance, a higher demand, but also to apply to high-capacity lithium battery cathode material to create a more large room for growth.

Lithium also has the application of imagination is the electric car field. Global oil shortage and deteriorating climatic conditions make the development of modern human society is faced with severe challenges, the development of energy conservation and new energy without the waste emission vehicles have been attached great importance to governments. The future of the world’s major car manufacturers electric vehicle production and sales data show that: by 2009 the share of small lithium battery electric vehicles, electric vehicles use nickel-metal hydride battery as the main power source; Beginning in 2010, automobile manufacturers began a substantial increase in lithium battery as the ratio of power source years from 2010-2013 lithium battery electric vehicle rapid growth stage, and in 2013 reached 2.26 million, an average annual compound growth rate of 124.78% ,2013-2018 years will enter a steady development phase, 2018 nearly 6 million, an average annual compound growth rate of 20.90%.

Energy reserves in the field of lithium batteries also have important applications, first of all solve problems adjusting power consumption of the valley. Second, clean energy in wind, solar and tidal energy, are intermittent energy, lithium energy storage device with the use of clean energy, energy storage in power generation, energy released during the break, can effectively alleviate the energy shortage in China status quo.

Is the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e a netbook or an ultraportable? The answer seems to be: a little of both. It’s faster than most netbooks, with a larger, higher-resolution screen; a spacious keyboard; and a bigger hard drive than you’ll usually find in lilliputian laptops. You pay for those extras, though. It’s a little heavier than run-of-the-mill netbooks and has limited battery life. The price is nearly in ultraportable territory,laptop battery  too: The machines start at $499, and the configuration we reviewed costs $599. That’s a lot for a netbook.

Here’s the first thing that’ll strike you about this ThinkPad, though–it’s red! (If you find that color shocking, you can also order the standard ThinkPad black.) If you associate red with speedy sports cars, the X100e won’t disappoint. With its Athlon Neo MV-40 processor and 2GB of RAM, this ThinkPad scored a 52 on WorldBench 6, a screaming speed for netbooks. I didn’t notice any drag in opening and switching between applications, fiddling with Windows controls, or browsing the Web.

Don’t expect powerful video performance, though. The X100e turned high-def, full-screen video into something more like a slideshow. And even at 480p, video stuttered and jerked. Lenovo is mostly marketing the X100e to corporate types and must think that they should be working instead of watching YouTube.

And this laptop is indeed useful for getting work done. The 11.6-inch display has a native resolution of 1366 by 768, significantly more than the typical 10.1-inch, 1024-by-600-resolution netbook screen. And the display is relatively easy to read even from an angle. But I found the on-screen colors a little washed out.

The keyboard is full-size, with large Shift and Tab keys. The keys give the kind of solid feedback touch typists need. Lenovo gives you two options for pointing devices–and that’s probably one too many. ThinkPad traditionalists can use the company’s signature eraserhead pointing stick, which has its own mouse and scroll buttons. That system works well for those who are comfortable with it. But Lenovo also jammed in a touchpad for all the people who aren’t accustomed to the eraserhead. And there just isn’t enough room for the touchpad–the surface is small, and the buttons are tiny. They’re about a quarter-inch deep and right at the edge of the laptop. If you miss the buttons (not hard to do), your thumb slips off the laptop entirely. The trackpad does feature multitouch, but the response is inconsistent–sometimes a two-fingered scroll works just fine, sometimes the trackpad doesn’t notice it at all.

The X100e comes nicely equipped, and you can add more features. Our test model had a 320GB hard drive (you can also save some money with a 250GB disk). The laptop comes standard with gigabit ethernet and 802.11n wireless networking. A built-in 3G wireless broadband card is available at an extra cost. Beyond that, the features are pretty standard–two USB ports on the left, one on the right, plus a multicard reader on the right and a VGA port in the back.

For a small machine, the X100e’s sound is impressive. Lenovo has nestled the speakers on the underside of the wrist rest, which slopes up off the surface of the table the laptop’s resting on. That design seems to let more of the sound escape, giving the laptop decent volume. And for small speakers, the sound was relatively clean and precise, though understandably light on bass.

At 3.3 pounds (3.9 pounds with the power brick), the X100e is a little heavier than other netbooks, but I hardly noticed the extra weight. With the standard battery, the X100e lasted for only 5 hours and 28 minutes. That’s anemic for netbooks, but not unexpected given the X100e’s more powerful processor.

Our test unit came with Windows 7 Professional, a nice upgrade from the Windows 7 Starter Edition on many netbooks. Don’t look for much else in the Programs folder, though. Adobe Reader is the only piece of third-party software. Lenovo has also loaded its proprietary utilities, including a password manager and power management app. I find Lenovo’s utilities more useful than the bloatware that comes on many machines, but that doesn’t make them exciting.

At 600 bucks, the X100e we tested isn’t the kind of disposable computer that many netbooks amount to. For the price, you’ll get sprightly performance, a larger display, and a comfortable keyboard. But if you’re looking for great video performance or all-day battery life, look elsewhere.

The deceptively simple Philips Xenium X312 will have a month of battery life, according to this render’s front screen. The few other specs to leak out include a modest QVGA display, Bluetooth, FM radio, 2 megapixel camera, and a microSD memory card slot. It’s likely to only have 2G, which probably contributes to its truly righteous battery life.

Although a month is impressive, this is about on par with Philips’ Xenium Inspiron E1505 battery , Inspiron E1705 battery  and Inspiron XPS M170 battery , which could also last a month on standby, only the latter ran on a AAA battery. What’s hilarious is that the X630 goes even further and can last 50 days in standby, or 12 hours of talk, and the goes a solid two months and 17 hours of talk. I really dig the strategy here: never mind doing a wide array of moderately-successful features… Get the basic stuff down pat, then do one thing really, really well (in this case, battery life).

As usual, this one likely won’t be coming to North America, and will stay floating around Asia and Russia, but it remains an interesting brand tom watch, if only from afar.
