Putting smartphone intelligence in the car is nothing new, but integrating smartphones with on-board car computers is a relatively fresh trick.
Zubie makes a small device that plugs in underneath the dash and reports car health stats to a smartphone in the car. It also offers social features for detecting loved ones who might also be on the road.
The company announced today that it has raised a new $8 million funding round, led by Nokia Venture Partners and Magna International. Existing Zubie investors Castrol innoVentures, Comporium, and OpenAir Equity Partners also participated in the round.
There’s still a lot of work to be done to get the nation’s pharmacies, big and small, connected with each other and with patients. For rural pharmacies this connection can mean the difference between solvency and closure.
One Iowa City, Iowa-based startup TelePharm, has built a secure, proprietary tech platform that connects rural pharmacies to pharmacists in centralized locations.
ULMA Taldea Euskal Herrian dagoeneko ".eus" domeinua aktibatuta duten 91 erakunde eta enpresen artean dago, www.ulma.eus, eta bertatik euskarazko web edukietara sartu daiteke.
ULMAk, ekimen "aitzindari" horrekin, ".eus" domeinu berria sustatzen lagundu eta babesten du, euskal hizkuntza eta kultura sarean ikusgarriagoa izan dadin.
Domeinua plazaratzeko bi fase egongo dira, bat esklusiboa eta bestea abiaraztekoa. Lehen fasean 91 webgune “aitzindarik” izango dituzte Interneteko helbideak sarean euskararen domeinuarekin.
El Boletín Oficial del País Vasco publica hoy la convocatoria para el programa “Lehen aukera” de estímulo a la contratación en prácticas de personas jóvenes desempleadas, menores de 30 años, que hayan finalizado sus estudios universitarios/de Formación Profesional o Certificado de Profesionalidad y estén registradas en Lanbide como demandantes de empleo. La convocatoria está dotada con una partida de cinco millones de euros, gestionados a través de Lanbide, y fue aprobada por el Gobierno Vasco en el consejo celebrado el pasado 29 de julio.
eVisits are expected to save $5B this year over the cost of traditional in-office physician visits.
With an aging Baby Boomer population and broadband bandwidth improved a hundredfold from a decade ago, telemedicine is exploding as a convenient and less costly alternative to the traditional visit to the doctors' office.
This year in the U.S. and Canada, 75 million of 600 million appointments with general practitioners will involve electronic visits, or eVisits, according to new research from Deloitte.
GE and Pivotal said they built the first industrial-scale “data lake” system that could supercharge how companies store, manage and glean insight from information harvested from machines connected to the Industrial Internet.
The system, which has already tracked more than 3 million flights and gathered 340 terabytes of data, can analyze data 2,000 times faster than previous methods and cut costs tenfold. It is so powerful that it crunched through a complex task that would have taken a month to compute in just 20 minutes.
When experts talk about future solar cells, they usually bring up exotic materials and physical phenomena. In the short term, however, a much simpler approach—stacking different semiconducting materials that collect different frequencies of light—could provide nearly as much of an increase in efficiency as any radical new design. And a new manufacturing technique could soon make this approach practical.
The startup Semprius, based in Durham, North Carolina, says it can produce very efficient stacked solar cells quickly and cheaply, opening the door to efficiencies as high as 50 percent. (Conventional solar cells convert less than 25 percent of the energy in sunlight into electricity.)
Fondée en 2002 à Orsay, près de Paris, WiN MS développe et commercialise des outils de diagnostic immédiat pour la maintenance aéronautique et un dispositif de surveillance des infrastructures câblées pour lutter contre le vol de câbles. Ainsi cette spin-off du CEA-List propose un outil d'aide à la recherche de panne, ce qui permet de réduire les temps d'immobilisation des appareils au sol. Précisons que selon sa taille et le lieu où il est stationné, un avion immobilisé coûte entre 20.000 et un million d'euros par jour à la compagnie qui en a la propriété.
