Sony Ericsson has unveiled the next Idou also the W995 Walkman phone. The slider is equipped with high-speed HSDPA radio, GPS, a high resolution camera and a feature rich media player. In the second quarter, the W995 comes to 539 euros in the trade.

In addition to the multimedia smartphone Idou Sony Ericsson has also introduced the W995 music phone. The Walkman slider for the first time a 3.5-mm connector for standard headphones. Previously the company used only the in-house Fastport jack for headphones. The W995 comes in the second quarter of 2009 is in the colors of Progressive Black, Silver and Cosmic Energetic Red in trade, retail price 539, – €.

How typical of the Walkman series, Sony Ericsson puts much emphasis on the music functions. The Walkman player can be operated via extra keys and the sound is spiced up with the functions and Clear Audio Clear Bass. SensMe guess the mood of the user and plays the appropriate title.

The built-in camera, like the Cybershot model C905, A resolution of 8 megapixels. A video feature is provided as an image stabilizer, face detection and geotagging. However, it lacks the Xenon flash. Instead, an LED light from the subject. The display is 2.6 inches tall and has the standard resolution of 240×320 pixels. In addition to quad-band GSM and Bluetooth support, the W995, the data accelerator HSDPA and HSUPA, as well as WLAN.

In addition, Sony Ericsson has integrated a GPS receiver. Navigation Wayfinder Navigator software is partly filled from the factory. The software, photos, videos or music can be stored on an 8 gigabyte memory card that attaches to the Sony Ericsson W995. For one evening in the mobile video even a folding stand is built, like the Nokia N96. The battery provides, according to Gunter Thiel, head of marketing at Sony Ericsson Germany enough power to be able to watch two full movies. A number of battery performance he called not.

Together with Byoungwoo Kang cedar presents a solution to this problem. The two MIT researchers use a coating of lithium Dell inspiron 1501 battery electrode of glassy phosphate. The trick works like material to build a whole series of additional entrances to the channels in the crystal lattice. The result: The ion-jam dissolves, the battery charges in record time. As evidence, the scientists built a model of the battery with new coating. Could be the fully charged in about ten to 20 seconds instead of six minutes, they report in the journal “Nature”. Gerbrand Ceder thinks that the new “super battery” may already be ready for production in two to three years.

A renaissance in high-tech garment is celebrating the other hand, an old friend of the battery researchers: the redox flow battery. Its principle has been known for about 40 years ago: Two contain liquid electrolyte solutions, the metal ions, thereby flowing through porous graphite electrodes from flowing. They are separated by a membrane which is permeable to charge carriers. In the choice of electrolytes, researchers have also with this Dell inspiron 6400 battery are spoiled for choice has already been investigated material combinations, such as iron-titanium, iron, chromium or zinc bromide. Not always with great success. Electro-chemists of the ICT Institute favor a redox-flow system consisting of vanadium ions on both sides of the dividing membrane. The ions differ here only in the size of their cargo, therefore exist in different oxidation states. The significant advantage of the arrangement: Urgent vanadium ions through the separation layer, which leads only to a partial discharge of the Dell latitude d820 battery . The liquid electrolyte is not permanently poisoned as with other fabric combinations “and thus unusable.

Redox flow batteries on vanadium-vanadium basis are relatively simple construction, have a high efficiency and are available through, according to the Fraunhofer researchers “at least 10 000 charge-discharge cycles.” The main advantage is the decoupling of the capacity and performance: If other types of batteries(such as Dell inspiron 1525 battery), a larger reserve of energy will inevitably associated with an increased weight (or volume of the battery) purchased, the “charged” liquid electrolyte can be pumped out here regardless of the size of the redox flow cell and stored in a separate tank, and even without any self-discharge.

The maximum capacity of such batteries depends on the other hand, depending on the size of the active electrode area. This unusual property makes redox-flow systems promising candidates for electric drive systems in vehicles. The vision of researchers motorists at filling stations in the future may the used liquid electrolyte sony vgp-bps2c battery can easily be pumped out of their drive and replace it with a supercharged variant. A scenario that comes close to today’s very filling up with petrol.

Not always precisely because the sun is shining or the wind blows, although much power is needed, are operators of electricity networks, is fed into the much more renewable energy to bring the dilemma of supply and demand into line with each other. Redox flow batteries, for example, could store excess wind energy and share with no wind again. That such a peak load balancing works in practice, shows the Japanese utility Kansai Electric Power has been a number of years. Even in the U.S. state of Utah and the Northern Irish county of Donegal, the technology is already longer in use.

For use in vehicles, but the process is far too expensive. Moreover, redox-flow batteries have over their lithium-ion rivals a significantly lower performance. Fraunhofer-electro-chemists are working so hard to improve this technology. Moreover, in Pfinztal are already making plans for the construction of a two-megawatt demonstration plant with two each 300 cubic meters of comprehensive electrolyte tank in the drawer. On the practicality of this ibm thinkpad x60 series battery option as an alternative for the internal combustion ICT expert Jens Tübke firmly believe, at least in the medium term, “Redox flow batteries in electric cars – which I think is doable.”
