Apple Inc’s aggressive recruitment of auto experts as it explores building a car has left a promising, if financially troubled, electric motorcycle startup in the dust.
Mission Motors, whose sleek electric bikes drew comparisons to Tesla’s cars, ceased operations in May after losing some of its top engineering talent to Apple, according to sources close to Mission.
Although it has never openly acknowledged it is looking into building an electric car, Apple has recruited dozens of auto experts, many from car makers like Ford or Mercedes-Benz, which shrugged off the departures.
HONG KONG — China’s economy grew 6.9 percent in the third quarter from a year ago, as a deepening industrial rout and slumping stock market pushed growth to its slowest quarterly pace since the global financial crisis of 2009.

The origin of the concept of smart city goes back thirty years. It arose in response to what is today recognized as being one of the major challenges of the 21st century: sustainability. The members of the UN World Commission on Environment and Development were concerned about the impact of human activity on the Earth, and ordered a study to assess how it could be halted. Known as the Brundtland Report in honor of the Norwegian politician who headed it in 1985, the study contains the first definition of sustainable development as “development that meets present needs without compromising the needs of future generations”.
Silicon and carbon are reluctant partners. Although the two elements are among the most abundant on Earth, they almost never bond in nature and it takes a lot of heat and pressure in the lab to coax them into working with each other. But when they do stick together and form a material called silicon carbide (SiC), it’s something to see.
Gurpil eta errailen arteko interakzioa faktore garrantzitsua da material ibiltariaren portaeran eta, ondorioz, ibilgailuen segurtasun eta erosotasunean. Hori horrela, beharrezkoa da zehaztasunez eta sarri gurpilen hainbat parametro detektatzea, eta bereziki, kontaktuaren perfila. DWPM, DANOBATeko perfilak neurtzeko azken generazioko ekipamendua, urteetan zehar material ibiltari eta operadoreekin batera egindako ikerketa eta garapenaren ondorioa da.
La interacción entre las ruedas y los raíles en un factor clave en el comportamiento dinámico del material rodante, y consecuentemente, en la seguridad y comfort de los vehículos, siendo necesario detectar con gran precisión y frecuencia los diferentes parámetros de las rueda y en particular el del perfil de contacto. El DWPM, la última generación de Equipo de Medida de Perfil de DANOBAT, es el resultado de años de investigación y desarrollo logrado junto con mantenedores de material rodante y operadores.
El sistema es capaz de medir los siguientes parámetros:
The sensors in smartphones can accurately detect the changes in mood that are indicative of bipolar disorder, according to a new study. That could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes for sufferers.
The Wi-Fi equipment serving offices, airports, and other large buildings could be easily upgraded to allow mobile devices to get indoor location fixes to an accuracy of less than half a meter, Stanford researchers have shown. The technology, dubbed SpotFi, could lead to GPS-style maps for indoor spaces.
La planta de Nissan en la Zona Franca de Barcelona producirá este año 90.000 unidades, lo que supone una reducción de alrededor del 30% respecto a los cerca de 130.000 vehículos fabricados el año pasado, según las previsiones aportadas por la dirección europea de la multinacional en el comité europeo, al que asistieron representantes del comité de empresa de la planta catalana.
