AI technology in the cloud has been developed for safer and more durable batteries

Published

on

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Durapower Innovation Singapore Pte Ltd have fostered a cloud-based innovation that can enormously improve the life expectancy and wellbeing of lithium-particle batteries.

As the worldwide shift towards environmentally friendly power and electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates, the interest for productive, protected and supportable batteries has turned into a squeezing concern. Additionally, with the ascent in distributed computing, the interest for energy capacity frameworks for server farms has been developing.

Fueled by the Internet of Things (IoT) andArtificial Intelligence (AI), this new arrangement can help organizations and server farms bring down the dangers related with lithium-particle batteries, including potential fire perils, especially in warm and moist environments like Singapore.

Led by NTU Assistant Professor Hung Dinh Nguyen and Durapower CEO Mr Kelvin Lim, this research project is supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the National Research Foundation, Singapore (NRF), under the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2020 Plan.

Throughout recent years, the joint group fostered a Fire & Explosion Management System (FXMS), which uses Computerized Twin innovation – where a virtual imitation of a genuine battery is made to reflect the one, in actuality – offering high-exactness, constant observing, as well as expectations of battery conditions as long as five years.

The FXMS can give normal checking of which battery pack is probably going to come up short and can foresee when will be a great opportunity to supplant it, with up to 95 percent precision, up to north of a half year in future. At present, it is being tried in a compartment measured energy capacity arrangement on the NTU Shrewd Grounds.

The group gauges that their patent-forthcoming innovation can assist with broadening the life expectancy of lithium-particle batteries by more than 50%, essentially decreasing fossil fuel byproduct through the decrease of battery squander, as batteries require a ton of assets and energy to make.

Asst Prof Hung Dinh Nguyen, who is the Group Head of Renewables’ Combination and Microgrids at the Energy Research Institute at NTU (ERI@N), made sense of, “Our main aim is to enhance the safety and efficiency of large-scale energy storage systems and Electric Vehicles, as a single faulty cell can spark off a chemical fire that is extremely hard to put out. Since our technology is cloud-based, it is scalable and can easily be adapted for consumer electronics such as mobility devices, laptops and mobile phones, helping the batteries to last longer and in the long run, reduce electronic waste and carbon footprint,”

CEO of Durapower Gathering, Mr Kelvin Lim remarked, “With the global mandate for sustainability, smart mobility, and a carbon neutral future, we’re seeing widespread adoption of energy storage systems and uptake of EVs. The development of a customisable software platform like FXMS furthers efforts towards robust and comprehensive digital infrastructure based on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to capture increasingly complex battery and energy usage in the EV market. The outcomes from this joint initiative with the EMA, NTU and Durapower on FXMS will enable better decisions based on data and analytics, facilitating optimal battery health, performance, and longevity.”

NTU VP (Industry) Teacher Lam Khin Yong, said the joint effort among NTU and Durapower shows the way that new innovation in the green economy can be spearheaded through areas of strength for an industry organization upheld by the Singapore government.

“NTU has a strong track record in working closely with leading industry players, to develop innovations that can meet the key challenges in their sector. Combining our deep expertise in areas such as sustainability, battery technology and deep tech like IoT and AI, with Durapower’s industry knowledge and experience, we can propel innovation quicker and boost the competitiveness of our local SMEs globally in fast-rising industries such as EVs and energy storage systems.”

Computerized Twins, which are virtual imitations of offices or articles in reality, are an essential improvement in the Infocomm business, as it empowers more powerful and more secure dynamic through simulated intelligence proposals. It is likewise an examination region firmly upheld by the NTU 2025 Brilliant course of action, under its Development and Business venture drive sent off recently.

On account of huge battery stockpiling frameworks like those utilized for environmentally friendly power lattices or server farms, the computerized twin considers the immediate administration of batteries, for example, rerouting electrical burden to draw out the existence of more vulnerable batteries or to briefly stop the utilization of a battery pack until it very well may be supplanted.

As battery packs age, for example, those in EVs, they are ordinarily utilized for second-life applications like energy stockpiling lastly be reused into new lithium-particle batteries. The ERI@N is at present creating answers for all parts of battery stockpiling, from battery the executives frameworks to the assembling of batteries.

Pushing ahead, the NTU group will work intimately with Durapower to preliminary their answer on bigger server farms and to modify it for various applications and battery frameworks.

Apple’s own 5G modem-equipped iPhone SE 4 is “confirmed” to launch in March

Published

on

Tom O’Malley, an analyst at Barclays, recently visited Asia with his colleagues to speak with suppliers and makers of electronics. The analysts said they had “confirmed” that a fourth-generation iPhone SE with an Apple-designed 5G modem is scheduled to launch near the end of the first quarter next year in a research note they released this week that outlines the main conclusions from the trip. That timeline implies that the next iPhone SE will be unveiled in March, similar to when the present model was unveiled in 2022, in keeping with earlier rumors.

The rumored features of the fourth-generation iPhone SE include a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a newer A-series chip, a USB-C port, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, 8GB of RAM to enable Apple Intelligence support, and the previously mentioned Apple-designed 5G modem. The SE is anticipated to have a similar design to the base iPhone 14.

Since 2018, Apple is said to have been developing its own 5G modem for iPhones, a move that will let it lessen and eventually do away with its reliance on Qualcomm. With Qualcomm’s 5G modem supply arrangement for iPhone launches extended through 2026 earlier this year, Apple still has plenty of time to finish switching to its own modem. In addition to the fourth-generation iPhone SE, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo earlier stated that the so-called “iPhone 17 Air” would come with a 5G modem that was created by Apple.

Whether Apple’s initial 5G modem would offer any advantages to consumers over Qualcomm’s modems, such quicker speeds, is uncertain.

Qualcomm was sued by Apple in 2017 for anticompetitive behavior and $1 billion in unpaid royalties. In 2019, Apple purchased the majority of Intel’s smartphone modem business after the two firms reached a settlement in the dispute. Apple was able to support its development by acquiring a portfolio of patents relating to cellular technology. It appears that we will eventually be able to enjoy the results of our effort in four more months.

On March 8, 2022, Apple made the announcement of the third-generation iPhone SE online. With antiquated features like a Touch ID button, a Lightning port, and large bezels surrounding the screen, the handset resembles the iPhone 8. The iPhone SE presently retails for $429 in the United States, but the new model may see a price increase of at least a little.

Google is said to be discontinuing the Pixel Tablet 2 and may be leaving the market once more

Published

on

Google terminated the development of the Pixel Tablet 3 yesterday, according to Android Headlines, even before a second-generation model was announced. The second-generation Pixel Tablet has actually been canceled, according to the report. This means that the gadget that was released last year will likely be a one-off, and Google is abandoning the tablet market for the second time in just over five years.

If accurate, the report indicates that Google has determined that it is not worth investing more money in a follow-up because of the dismal sales of the Pixel Tablet. Rumors of a keyboard accessory and more functionality for the now-defunct project surfaced as recently as last week.

It’s important to keep in mind that Google’s Nest subsidiary may abandon its plans for large-screen products in favor of developing technologies like the Nest Hub and Hub Max rather than standalone tablets.

Google has always had difficulty making a significant impact in the tablet market and creating a competitor that can match Apple’s iPad in terms of sales and general performance, not helped in the least by its inconsistent approach. Even though the hardware was good, it never really fought back after getting off to a promising start with the Nexus 7 eons ago. Another problem that has hampered Google’s efforts is that Android significantly trails iPadOS in terms of the quantity of third-party apps that are tablet-optimized.

After the Pixel Slate received tremendously unfavorable reviews, the firm first declared that it was finished producing tablets in 2019. Two tablets that were still in development at the time were discarded.

By 2022, however, Google had altered its mind and declared that a tablet was being developed by its Pixel hardware team. The $499 Pixel Tablet was the final version of the gadget, which came with a speaker dock that the tablet could magnetically connect to. (Google would subsequently charge $399 for the tablet alone.)

Windows 11 PCs with Arm Processors now have an Official ISO for Clean Installations

Published

on

Power users occasionally prefer to start over when they acquire a new computer, so they follow the pro-gamers’ advice and reinstall Windows using a brand-new ISO image that comes straight from Microsoft and is free of bloatware and needlessly complex “driver management programs.” Up until recently, the new Snapdragon laptops’ more specialized version of Windows 11 didn’t support that.

The Windows 11 build on these new laptops is unusual because of the Arm64-based hardware, which differs from the typical x86 and x64 innards found in most laptops and desktops. Microsoft has finally released a disk image (or ISO file) for these devices after several months of waiting. To perform a direct reinstallation or make a bootable flash drive for a different device, you may now download it straight from Microsoft’s website. It is identical to the installation media utility that is currently available.

Be aware that there may be some glitches if you use this method for a fresh install. Compared to previous designs, the Snapdragon X system-on-a-chip has a lot fewer hardware variables, but because it’s so new, Windows Update might not include all the necessary components. You may need to use an Ethernet connection or the old-fashioned sneakernet to manually load drivers from another computer. You may also need to do some Googling to locate all the files you require for that.
