How tall is a wind turbine? The rotor of the latest GE wind turbine sweeps a circle the size of the London Eye, the giant Ferris Wheel that looms across the River Thames over the Big Ben. In fact, the turbine is so large that engineers had to find a way to compensate for the difference in wind speed between the top and the bottom blade. “When the top tip is 650 feet high, the bottom blade is 25 stories below,” says Vic Abate, vice president of GE’s renewable energy business. “The pitch of the blades keeps changing as they rotate. Think about it like sails on a sailboat. The fuel is free and you take this fuel and you concentrate it so that machine can produce more power more often.”
El día 24 de enero se llevó a cabo la Feria de la Brocante Tecnológica.

What do Twitter updates, NASA’s tree-spotting satellite, and special effects from a Tom Cruise thriller have in common with the utility poles outside your house? A lot, it turns out. They can all pitch in to keep your lights on.
GE just rolled out a new grid management system that harvests gigabytes of diverse data from social media, smart meters, the weather service, the U.S. census and other sources to help power companies predict and prevent electrical outages. Just as Tom Cruise did in the futuristic action drama Minority Report, the system allows utility workers to manipulate the information with their hands – swiping through data like an orchestra conductor.
The Institute of Medicine estimates that tens of thousands of Americans die needlessly every year from avoidable medical errors, including infections acquired during surgery. GE and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have now teamed up to change that. They will develop an “intelligent” system using robots, computer vision and automatic identification technologies like RFID tags to fetch, sort, and sterilize surgical tools. The system could save lives, and money.
El próximo día 30 de enero de 2013 se llevará a cabo en el Palacio de Otalora de Aretxabaleta la Jornada de Aprendizaje sobre Biotecnología” Sortzeko Ikasten”.
El propósito de este evento es lograr el cercamiento de las empresas y Centros Tecnológicos de la Corporación MONDRAGON a tres experiencias empresariales biotecnológicas, Progenika, BTI y Vivia Biotech, así como a una Sociedad Gestora de capital Riesgo del sector biotecnológico: CRBInverbio.
Así, esta Jornada de Aprendizaje sobre Biotecnología tendrá el siguiente orden del día:
At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, chipmaker Intel demoed its latest big idea: “perceptual computing.”
At first glance, it looks like little more than a me-too version of Microsoft’s Kinect: clip a camera-like peripheral onto your Ultrabook, and presto, instant gestural interface!
Mondragon Unibertsitatea Euskal Herriko lehen unibertsitatea eta Estatuko bigarrena da (Bartzelonako Ramon Llul unibertsitatearekin batera) mundu mailako proiektuen kudeaketarako prestakuntza eskaini ahal izateko gaitasuna aitortzen dion REP (Registered Education Provider) izeneko ziurtagiria eskuratzen. Horrela, ate nagusitik sartu da zuzendaritza-gaitasun horiek egiaztatzen dituen nazioarteko sare ospetsu eta txikian.
