Samsung is approved to test self-driving cars

Posted on Septiembre 1, 2017Febrero 28, 2023 by webmaster

Artificial intelligence is a world that from its beginnings has proven to be a dream and a great challenge for programmers since its end point is undefined; that is, it depends on creativity, imagination and experience to be built.

Today, artificial intelligence is defined as a newborn world because it is believed that we lack many to experiment, discover and create in their environment. This is what continues to inspire large electronics companies to experience, discover and improve the quality of life of people collectively and individually.

Large electronics companies are constantly in research and development to create more efficient devices according to the demands of users, and achieve the highest position among the companies in their environment. There is great competition in building vehicles and / or developing systems to replace the driver; that is to say, to create autonomous vehicles with specific functions given by the user.

So far companies like Apple, Google, among others have already presented their prototypes of autonomous vehicles and have tested them on public roads. Now it’s the turn of the electronics giant. Samsung is the latest company to get the go-ahead to test its self-driven cars on California’s public roads in addition to Nissan.

This is according to the list of companies that have accepted the terms of the California Department of Motor Vehicles’ Independent Vehicle Verification Program. In May, Samsung received approval to try self-driven cars in their home country, using software tailored to Hyundai vehicles.

Samsung would try to keep up with its technological rivals in the automotive environment to make the competition and revolutionize its industry. This is because in 2015, the electronics giant announced a new division that will focus on auto-driving vehicle software, rather than creating the entire vehicle after its biggest rival, Apple, has changed its approach from stand-alone cars to stand-alone systems.

With the authorization to test its self-propelled vehicles in California, Samsung could position itself to offer its technology to other companies, including an automaker, as it maintains an outpost in San Jose.

Glow

Posted on Agosto 22, 2017Febrero 28, 2023 by webmaster

The energy consumption of our homes increasingly can increase our electricity bills becoming an expense as much of that consumption goes to waste. In the last 15 years the increase in the price of energy has called us to worry and to reduce the energy consumption in our homes.

This is to safeguard our economy and our environment. Many of us are very strict in the use of energy in our homes so that it does not become a financial problem when receiving our electricity bills. Therefore, we make schedules and times of use of electrical appliances, we establish the number of times of daily load of our mobile devices, among other rules that help reduce energy consumption.

However, these rules do not cover all aspects and sometimes we forget the consumer recommendations. Many of our appliances need to be turned on for a long time to perform their functions. In most households, more than 40% of the electricity consumed goes to waste despite having been strict in energy consumption.

That is a reason that discourages us to reduce the use of electricity and, therefore, increases the environmental impact. Therefore, it is important to quantify our use of resources with the aim of reducing waste, as reducing waste saves money and provides a significant reduction in the impact of our homes on the environment.

Potential Labs is a small company that has created a device that promises to help us reduce our electricity bills and reduce the environmental impact of our homes through real-time feedback, expense targets and usage alerts. The creators of this device have named it “Glow” and claim that it is the most beautiful way in the world to see the energy.

Glow is the first intelligent home energy tracker in the world environment that anyone can install. It was created by a team of designers, scientists and engineers in Athens, Ohio. The sensor in this gadget uses magneto-resistive forward detection technology to wirelessly measure electricity consumption in our home. Glow sends that information to an elegant design unit that changes color so we can “see” the energy consumption of our home.

The Glow application reveals the energy use of our home when we are out. It sends us notifications that warn us of the abnormal use of energy so that we can take action immediately and avoid unexpected surprises in the electricity bill.

Glow-models — *Available in charcoal or linen with a standard soft-touch or limited edition hardwood base*

Glow is easy, fast and secure to install and configure, the whole process takes about 10 minutes. It has a smart energy indicator with a soft LED light that changes color according to our energy consumption and automatically dims at night. The entire Glow system uses less energy than a single LED bulb. Its compatible mobile application for iOS and Android allows us to control the use of electricity from our home from anywhere, receive notifications about the abnormal use of energy so we can investigate about it.

It allows us to set goals for how much we want to spend and helps us stay on that path. You can also estimate the cost of energy for our next bill based on recent usage. Currently, the company works on Smart Home integrations to unlock new features.

Glow follows the energy use of our home using a wireless sensor that plugs into the outside of the utility meter box, and the home unit that plugs into the wall. The sensor measures the electricity that flows into our home, and the unit in the home sends that information to the Glow application on your cell phone.
