One lac tubewells will convert diesel to biogas in Pakistan

One lac tubewells will convert diesel to biogas in Pakistan,Punjab



Government will support farmers to choose for cheap alternative energy bear 50% of the conversion cost which will be in the range of Rs200,000 to Rs400,000 for a tube well based on technology and capacity.
A successful end of the drive would help save Rs30 billion on diesel consumption annually and help farmers irrigate their land at a low cost, a government official said. This would be the first project of its kind in the agriculture sector and would have a salutary effect on the environment in rural areas, he said.
Punjab Agriculture Secretary Dr Ijaz Munir, while confirming the plan, said his department would give a presentation to the chief minister soon for his approval. Work on the project would start next year, he added.
Munir said the project was being undertaken after a comprehensive study to save energy and utilise animal waste for productive purposes. The government would ensure transparency in the process and facilitate farmers in adopting biogas technology, he said.
Two types of technology including Frothy Drum and Fixed Dome can be used to switch over from diesel-powered tube wells to biogas. The provincial government will invite expressions of interest from interested companies, leave it to the farmers to select the company and pay directly to the technology provider.
According to documents, there are 32 million cows and buffaloes owned by small and big farmers in the province. These animals are producing 117 million tons of dung annually. If half of the total is used to produce gas, then the waste will produce 2.93 billion cubic metres of gas annually.
According to estimates, 25 to 40 cubic metres of gas is required to run a tube well. In both the technologies, 80% of energy will come from biogas and 20% from diesel.
A tube well eats up 2.25 litres of diesel per hour, but after reliance on biogas, diesel consumption will come down to 0.45 litre per hour. “This way, 288 million litres of diesel is expected to be saved every year,” the official said.
In monetary terms, savings are estimated at Rs30 billion per annum if 100,000 tube wells are switched over to biogas in the next five years.
According to agriculture census, farmers operate 1.1 million tube wells across the province for watering their crops. Of these, 110,000 are powered by electricity and 900,000 are run on diesel.
The Punjab government has earmarked Rs7 billion in the annual budget for doling out subsidy in several areas including tube wells, an official of the Finance Department said.
The Agriculture Department hopes that biogas plants installed with tube wells will help produce organic manure rich in nutrients, which will save the money spent on fertilizers.

HANDS FREE DRIVING ON ITS WAY BY GM MOTORS


READY TO DRIVE A CAR WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE USING HANDS.

GM motors is really working hard to put a new amazing car on road. Jeremy Salinger is in charge of research and development services in GM motors
You would surely get surprised when you'll see a car without a driver or a car where driver is sitting with a newspaper in his hands while car is being driven automatically.  That will be Cadillac on the road, this time the technology is on the testing at roads which includes real world drivers. The automaker are expecting to have this technology by 2020
Super cruise will allow the driver hands-free driving when it determines it as safe said by John Capp who is GM director of Global Active Safety Electronics and Innovations." Before putting this super cruise control technology in the production cycle we certainly needs a strong and vigorous testing phase to finalize the product.
  
 General Motors is working hard with different technologies in the market which are really amazing like cruise control, Collision avoidance, driver awareness monitoring Gps location tracking and lane-departure warnings. GM believes that these systems are sophisticated enough that we can integrate these in real world testing.
As these technologies can completely control the acceleration, brake, staring and destination tracking in daily driving routines.
These all active safety features are now combines by GM engineers in coordinated system where it is going through vigorous testing.


Jeremy Salinger, the program's research and development manager, said that we are continuously working to improve super cruise technology. These includes radar, ultrasonic sensors, camera that are used to control the distance and driving speed in between he vehicles.

This technology will certainly be very useful for assessing not only the way the system handling the cars in real world but to understand the traffic situation as well.

Satellite of Europe Runs Out Of Fuel.

This has been never experienced by the people before that some satellite is going out of fuel.
but this is true, as far as the technology is concern, all kinds of technologies need resources and mediums for their survivals. If we talk about cars, petrol, diesel, gas, or solar or any other.
This recently happened in space this time. European satellite  turn out of fuel which is really sounds crazy.

iPhone, iPphone 5S, iPhone 5C, or iOS7? APPLE IN TROUBLE

iPhone, iPphone 5S, iPhone 5C, or iOS7? APPLE IN TROUBLE?....

 With release of every iPhone model, people are always deperate to find best and utilize their phone in best of fun and official life. Now for its 7 version, people are having a real high expectation with a focus on some nwe innovations, and cool factors to enjoy

But, apart from the advertisements they made, like "forward thinking" the relase of the latest device is seems to be not meeting the expectation of the bloggers and their diehards customers. Now after 17, 2013 is the only time after which some people are hapy to find the change but their is also a list of people who are really feeling it uncomfortable as the hype generated with the advertisement, as per them, is not close enough.
But another facinating thing is that after the relase of the iPhone 5s and 5C on the weekened, iPhone showed the sale of 9 million iPhones during the launch. 5C were backordered while the 5S were sold out.  This seems to be a great chnage and a success to iPhone sine last year their sales was only 5 million.  Another thing that had to be taken into consideration is that iPhone is launched in 11 countries so far including china which is a highly demanding country of iPhone.    Although this shows that customers are desperate to hold the new device intheir hands, there are some customers who are raising some serious concerns about the hardware quality of the same. On comparison, they are claiming that the quality of the previous models of iPhone was much more stronger then 5S and 5C. When the test for the strenght to bear the crash is done, iPhone 5S has scored 5.5 while it is made up of aluminum and glass. While iPhone 5C, made up of plastic has scored 6  on the grading score of 1-10 (greater the score more the risk of damage)

Another disapointment was the finger print security which was certainly holding the technology market and for which, a letter is already sent to Tim Cook (Owner of Iphone) by senator is being rumored as it will get disabled.
Hacking team names Chaos Computer Clud , The biometrics hackers has successfuly bypass the Apple's touch Id security. The most simplest way to do this if you take the prints of fingers from the glass screen of the phone, you can certainly get the prints to bypass the security. Now the punch line for apple is the release of newest update, iOS 7
It is also anounced that around 200 million devices are now using iOS7.

Apple fingerprint technology, PRIVACY AT RISK

Apple fingerprint technology, PRIVACY AT RISK
 It is a concern rasied by a senior senator as he belives that this finger print recognition technology introduced by apple in iPhone 5s is a seriuos substantial privacy question.



Chairman of the influential senate judiciary subcommittee on privacy, technology and law ,Senator Al Franken, has written to Tim Cook, Apple boss, explaining the

possible security risks.He said "What if hacker steel someone's finger prints, this could impresonate you for the rest of your life"

Apple has not yet replied to the letter but Mr. Frank is really serious about lots of questions. Like he is desperate to know:

This finger print data will stored locally on the same mobile phone chip in encrypted form, are their any chances for this data to get stolen and later can be used by

hacker after converting them into digital or visual form.
Is their any diagnostic information about this Touch ID system which will be transmitted to back to apple or any other third party.
What are the security measures taken by apple to keep this finger print data safe and secure.
Apple is adviced to answer the questions with in the month of receiving this letter

Mean while it is also remoured that hackers are trying to crack apple's this touch Id technology.

There are now even rewards for hackers who ever could possibly hack into iPhone5s finger print technology. By an IO Capital, a venture capital company is offering a reward of 10,000 to the first person who can breakinto iPhone 5s repeatedly and can collect this finger print data

LETTER TO APPLE BY SENATOR AL FRANKEN, FINGER PRINT TECHNOLOGY AT RISK

This is the real letter produced by the senator to ask the security risk
