Drainatzeko sareta diskretua, proiektu arkitektoniko ikusgarrienetan aproposa
Sareta artekatuasistema oso baten zati da, saretaz, kanalaz eta erregistro-kutxatila multzoaz osatua, drainatze-linearen mantentze lan optimorako.
Alderantzizko “T” itxura duen sareta modeloa da, batez ere bere estetikagatik aipagarria, izan ere primeran integratzen da zoladuran (izan hormigoia, galtzadarria edo baldosa) eta, hala, erabateko mimetizazioa lortzen da hiri-paisaian.
La-Steps pintura muralista zerbitzuak eskaintzen dituen enpresa da. Muralismoaren bitartez kale eta inguruak sormenez bilakatzea proposatzen dute. Spray-a bitartekari izanik ez dira identifikatzen “tagging” edo graffiti suntsitzailearekin. Alderantziz, marrazki figuratibo edo abstraktuen bidez konnotazio negatiboak dituen mugimendu bati buelta ematen ahalegintzen dira, lan konstruktiboa beraien balio bilakatuz ingurua sormenez eta energiaz betetzeko.
Here’s one way Google could make sense of all the hype around the “connected home.”
Google just announced that it’s snapping up Nest, maker of smart thermostat and smoke detectors, for $3.2 billion in cash. Nest has raised around $80 million from investors including Shasta Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Google Ventures.
Startups are still trying to make it easier — and cheaper — to fill your house with sensors and connected gadgets.
One of these startups is Snupi, whose WallyHome system tells users when it detects water leaks in their homes. Millions of people have to deal with water damage each year, and Snupi thinks it can make some big cash preventing that damage from happening in the first place.
The company’s investors seem to agree and have given Snupi $7.5 million to help bring the WallyHome, Snupi’s first product, to market by March.
We take our smartphones everywhere, so it makes sense they are becoming command central for a lot of things, including our homes. While smart home technology has been in discussion for years, it’s the phone that makes it all possible. How will the home factor in with the next generation of mobile technology? To get an idea, let’s take a look at what’s happening right now.
When I interviewed Tony Fadell, the inventor of the iPod and now CEO of Nest, two years ago, he told me that he started the company, which sells smart thermostats and alarms, because existing products for taking control of your home over the Internet were clunky and appealed only to the technically minded (see “Nest’s Control Freaks”). “Home automation is for single geeky guys. It’s not for families,” he said.
mprius, a startup working on a new type of long-lasting lithium-ion batteries for laptops and electric vehicles, has started to sell its batteries for use in portable electronics. The company recently raised $30 million in venture capital to develop its next-generation batteries, which use high-energy silicon electrodes. The company says the batteries will store about 50 percent more energy than the battery cells in today’s electric vehicles.
The prospect of starting a business can be frightening. It is a risk and a tremendous opportunity, equal parts challenging and, hopefully, rewarding. Given the enormous risk that's inherent in entrepreneurship, many potential business owners will ask very difficult questions of themselves: Is this worth the risk? Do I have the right personality type to be running a business? And perhaps the most frightening: Is my business idea any good?
These questions, while potentially disheartening, are important ones to ask. The following offers a few basic cuts, a checklist of sorts, to help you determine whether or not you truly have a good business idea.
The European Union on Monday (16 December) reached a tentative deal on limiting the use in fridges and air conditioners of fluorinated gases that have a global warming potential thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide.
Two decades after international action led to the phasing out of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the European Commission last year proposed a law to eliminate the climate-harming "F-gases" that replaced CFCs.
Under Monday's deal, the new rules introduce a cap to achieve a 79% reduction by 2030 on the group of gases known as hydroflurocarbons (HFCs).
