Road runner: Battery-backups keep stoplights on in storms
333 days
The city is making progress on making sure stoplights don’t go dark during storms.
The city has upgraded 76 intersections with battery backups for traffic signals since 2008, when the project got started with some Regional Transportation Authority money. the systems cost about $4,500 each.
You might not see a difference, but Paul Burton, electronics technician supervisor at the city transportation department, certainly does.
When the project began four years ago, “I was a traffic signal technician at the time, and typically when a thunderstorm moved through town, we’d have 50 or 60 intersections on flash,” Burton recalls. “With these battery backup systems, a (power surge or a brown out) won’t knock signals offline.”
The battery backup system can detect a power outage and automatically switch a stoplight to battery power, which lasts six or seven hours.
“Ideally, people will never notice because the traffic signals keep moving,” Burton said.
The city prioritized Speedway, Broadway, 22nd Street, Golf Links and intersections next to hospitals, Burton said.
After that, the city began installing battery backups – roughly the same size as your car battery – at new or rebuilt intersections or at intersections that need major repairs anyway.
The city has a long way to go. only about 20 percent of city traffic signals have battery backups. Oro Valley is already at 100 percent, and Marana will be soon with the completion of the Oldfather Road and Ina Road intersection.
STREETCAR UPDATES
• the intersection of Congress Street and Fifth Avenue will be closed from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. to complete waterline work in the area.
• the intersection of Congress Street and Stone Avenue will be reduced to one lane from 7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
There will be overnight closures at the intersection of Congress Street and Church Avenue. Contractors will work from 7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following mornings.
North- and southbound traffic will not be permitted through the intersection. Detour signs will be in place to direct motorists.
• right turns from southbound Church Avenue to Congress Street will be allowed.
• Watch for intermittent restrictions of the sidewalk at the southwest corner of Congress Street and Arizona Avenue while the contractor installs underground utilities.
Scotty Dean writes in with a right-turn conundrum. When you have a right lane with a solid stripe, such as a wide bike lane or bus lane, should you pull into that lane to make a right turn, or should you turn right from your travel lane across the solid stripe?
A: Tucson Police Sgt. Jerry Skeenes said drivers shouldn’t use the wide bike lane as a right-turn lane, but it happens all the time, making it hard to enforce the law.
“Most drivers routinely violate these laws at nearly every intersection within the city and county that has enough room for a vehicle to pass on the right,” he said in an email. “For example, at westbound Miracle Mile at Flowing Wells you will see 10-plus cars backed up routinely during rush hour using this area as a right-turn lane. a county example is westbound Ina at Oracle. That area will have 25-plus vehicles often lined up in the bike lane.
“For the driver trying to follow the law and wait until they reach the intersection to make the right turn, they would be blocked from their lawful turn. This forces them to follow the other drivers making the unlawful movement.”

Duracell Named “Trusted Battery Power of the NFL” in Multi-Year Sponsorship
353 days
BETHEL, Conn., Jun 12, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Duracell, a Procter & Gamble (P&G) brand, today announced a comprehensive multi-year sponsorship with the National Football League (NFL) as the “Trusted Battery Power of the NFL,” as well as a player relationship with All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis. Whether on the field, or off the field, in devices that power the lives of players, coaches and fans, Duracell provides trusted battery power for when the League and its players need it most.
this announcement comes on the heels of the brand’s biggest battery news since the creation of iconic Coppertop. Duracell batteries with the Duralock Power Preserve(TM) Technology are guaranteed to stay powered for up to 10 years in storage.(1) this technology provides guaranteed power for battery-powered devices, on and off the field.
“With this sponsorship, we’re reaching millions of passionate and dedicated NFL fans that rely on battery power in their everyday lives,” said Volker Kuhn, general manager for Duracell North America. “As an innovator in the category, we can provide peace of mind for consumers and the NFL. Starting this fall, whether it is in a living room or an NFL stadium on Sunday afternoons, Duracell will provide the trusted battery power needed to enjoy or play the game on and off the field.”
to further strengthen the relationship, Duracell has signed powerhouse San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis. Willis will play a role in the integrated marketing program, from retail, digital and creative to social and event based initiatives.
“Patrick is an inspiring athlete and person and we are thrilled to be working with him to bring to life this partnership,” said Kuhn. “When we think about a player that embodies Duracell’s two greatest strengths — power and reliability — there is no one better suited than Patrick.”
Willis (twitter:@PatrickWillis52) helped Duracell launch the NFL sponsorship by sharing his personal power with the city of San Francisco. last week, San Franciscans were able to tweet using hashtag #PatrickPower to tell how they would enlist the Pro-Bowlers’ powerful arms and legs to help complete tasks or errands that require reliability and power. Willis and Duracell took to the streets to fulfill some of those wishes for help with seemingly mundane tasks, from hauling furniture to carrying groceries.
“I am thrilled to be able to work with a brand that prides itself on trust, reliability and power. these are traits that I take pride in and that I admire in a product,” said Willis. “I also appreciate that the brand can have a little fun with it. It was exciting to help out the people of San Francisco with their personal ‘power’ needs.”
Consumers can see the best photos and videos from the day on Duracell’s Facebook page ( Facebook.com/Duracell ) or Twitter page ( Twitter.com/Duracell ).
P&G signed a corporate sponsorship agreement with the NFL in 2009 that provided several of its brands including Tide, Gillette, Head & Shoulders and Vicks the rights to participate in the sponsorship. Duracell is the latest P&G brand to announce an NFL sponsorship, and beginning with the 2012 NFL season allows Duracell use of official NFL marks, including Super Bowl XLVII, Pro Bowl, NFL Draft and NFL Playoffs.
“We are proud to bring Duracell into our portfolio of leading brands that are partnering with the NFL,” said David Palmer, Head of Global Sports Marketing at P&G. “This partnership further extends our reach and integration with the NFL fans and our consumers while driving scale marketing opportunities for P&G.”
Duracell with Duralock Power Preserve Technology Set for retail distribution this summer, Duracell with Duralock will be packaged with a “good until” date and be recognizable by the new Duralock ring providing consumers with instant recognition and the comfort of knowing that Duracell batteries left sitting in a drawer or locker will still work when they are needed most. Whether it’s a CopperTop, an Ultra Power, or a Rechargable battery, Duracell’s Duralock technology means that there’s a battery best suited for every lifestyle. The entire portfolio of Duracell batteries including Ultra (AA/AAA), CopperTop (AA/AAA/C/D/9V), Rechargeable (AA/AAA), Hearing Aid and Coin Button cells will carry a Duralock Power Preserve guarantee.

How to Replace Your Laptop Motherboard – Do You Really Need to Know?
357 days
Are you asking how to replace your laptop motherboard? If your laptop has just died and you think you may need to replace your laptop motherboard, do not despair. unless you have had your laptop tested and have been told you need a new motherboard, let me suggest a few problems and what their cause is. maybe you won’t need to replace your motherboard after all.
The most common of problems that lead one to believe they need a new motherboard is a malfunctioning DC power jack. Symptoms of this are:
1. Your laptop will not charge the battery
2. Laptop will only run on battery power
3. Laptop randomly switches off for no reason
4. Do your power and charging L.E.D.s keep flashing
5. May be your laptop will only work if you hold the charger at a certain angle?
6. no power at all
All of the above point towards a faulty DC power jack so if any of the problems sound familiar then it just might be that you do not need to know how to replace laptop motherboard.
If you want to know how to replace laptop motherboard for another reason such as an upgrade etc. then you will be needing a good laptop repair guide or something similar, as if it is your first time attempting something like this it can appear to be a bit of a fiddly job so some good step by step instructions or even better some video will be most helpful.
A quick tip to remember when ever taking your laptop apart is to remove all jewellery and make sure your hands are completely dry to avoid any shocks There are many great resources on the net to show you how to replace laptop motherboard so i am sure you can achieve this easily.
Increasing Notebook Battery Power
368 days
Depending upon the model, a notebook battery usually lasts from 1 to 8 hours. However, with efficient battery usage, an hour or two of battery power can significantly be increased. you can save battery power by using the built-in battery saving modes and by following good notebook battery-saving practices.
Built-in battery-saving modes are Stand By and Hibernate. in the Stand By mode, open applications are stored in the RAM, the hard disks power down, the monitor switches off, but the processor goes on running. When you again perform some activity of the mouse or the keyboard, then the hard disk powers up, the monitor switches on, and the data from the RAM is activated, restoring your notebook exactly the way you left it.
The Hibernation mode is used when the notebook is left unattended for a long time. the open applications are stored on the hard disk, which subsequently powers down, the monitor turns off, and the processor turns off going in for hibernation. on soft rebooting like a restart or wake up on LAN, the processor turns on, the laptop wakes up, and the same exact settings are restored. Both these modes should be used to conserve battery power. you can preset your preferences in the settings of your notebook, so that in case you doze off, or leave the device for a coffee or a snack, the notebook automatically goes into any one of these power saving modes.
Following battery-saving practices can also save notebook battery power. you should always adjust the monitor controls to suit the room lighting conditions. Dimming the contrast and brightness saves battery power besides providing relief to your eyes. Auto-save and auto-update features of applications start in the background without your knowledge and these should be disabled. External devices consume a lot of battery power, hence the usage of external mice, monitors, keyboards, optical drives, videocam, digital cameras, or any other device connected to the PC Card slot, VGA/ FireWire/ USB port should be avoided.
Increase the RAM memory, if an extra slot is available, as this puts fewer burdens on the hard disk, which consumes a lot of battery power. Avoid multimedia games while you are running your notebook on battery power. Similarly, avoid music or movies. Copy the CD/DVD on the hard disk and play it from there, instead of the optical drive. Disable WiFi and Bluetooth. Built-in wireless cards should also be disabled. Decrease or set to mute the notebook speaker volume. Turn off all preprogrammed scheduled tasks. all unused open applications should be closed. the general guideline is that when your notebook is on battery power, you should perform only such operations, which are the need of the hour. Rest of the applications can be performed, when your notebook is connected to the mains.
Keeping good care of the battery also prolongs its life. To maximize performance of nickel-metal hydride batteries, they have to be completely drained off before they are recharged. However, lithium-ion batteries do not need cycling/ conditioning, and they do not suffer from memory effects. Hence, they need not be fully drained off before recharging. When the notebook is not in use for an extended period, the battery pack should be removed to avoid battery leakage. Before removing the battery pack, you should charge it fully and then remove it, as all kinds of batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state. do not store your battery pack along with metal parts, as this will short-circuit your battery.
Utilizing the built-in battery saving options and other means, you can significantly add one to three hours more in the total capacity of your notebook battery. Sometimes, in critical situations, like an important meeting, this extra hour of notebook battery power can help you clinch your desired deal.

Notebooks – Everyone Wants Their Own
460 days
Mary Lou Jepson, a promising LCD screen designer is the woman who designed the first notebook. MIT Media Labs’ Nicholas Negroponte envisioned the ‘One laptop per child’ project to help further education in developing countries where not enough computers are available in the poorer schools. the notebooks revolution- be part of it
Jepson was assigned the task of designing a robust little laptop computer with the best of the basics: a full keyboard, Wi-Fi connectivity, a colour display screen and battery power that would sustain it when regular electricity supply is not available, as is the case in many developing countries. only 50% of the children in the world have regular access to electricity. Priced at approximately $100, these little notebooks would be sold to governments in bulk and handed out freely to children in rural areas and villages.
Jepson had to be very resourceful and decided to use flash memory instead of a spinning hard drive as it uses a lot less energy and does not break easily, even if it is dropped. she made use of open source software, which is free. the AMD Geode motherboard is not too fast, but it requires very little power.
The best part is the LCD screen panel that is able to tell if an image is static and then turns off the main processor in order to save on electricity.
The laptop was built by Taiwanese computer manufacturer. the co is not well known, but they manufacture hardware for well known companies. the world’s best engineers are employed by the co.
A rival co was next in line to create a book. the rival’s books’ DVD drive can’t run resource hungry programs, as it was mainly intended as a back-up companion device. the device was intended for checking emails and surfing social networks. Their target market of older people and children in mind, they set out to develop their book. with flash memory and a 7 inch LCD screen, the book features Linux and other open source software.
When the rival sold out their whole inventory of 350 000 books in only a couple of months. Since then, most other computer manufacturers developed notebooks to add to their range. Books retail at around $400.
The low cost companion notebooks are also known as mini notebooks, mini laptops and ultra portables.

Sony 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, 4-pack
508 days
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) – 2500mAh – 1.2V DC – Photo BatteryColor: Blue Brand: Sony Model: NH-AAB4E Format: CD-ROM Original language: English Number of items: 1 Dimensions: .40″ h x 2.30″ w x 2.80″ l, .25 pounds Battery type: NiMh Ideal for digital products High capacity — lasts 3 times longer than alkaline Designed for use with Sony’s advanced power chargeMost helpful customer reviews 180 of 190 people found the following review helpful. Great when newly charged by Notmy Realname I have owned these for about four months. mostly they are used in a DSLR camera. I find that, when freshly charged, they are superb, giving lots of life and fast performance in the DSLR, which relies heavily on good battery power. They also charge fine, with no memory problems, in the Sony charger. However, these batteries lose power when not in use. Most AAA rechargeables do, of course. but there are a new sort on the market that minimize the power drain when not in use. I have tried some, the eneloops. They are just plain better than these Sony batteries. Eneloops fire right up and last longer even when they have not been in use for days or weeks. I find this makes a big difference because I don’t have to recharge every time I start out a day with my camera. Hope you find this helpful. 55 of 60 people found the following review helpful. As good as any I’ve used by Marty d’Fried I’ve used these, Energizers, Duracells, etc. these have worked as well as any, and are often sold by Amazon at a very good price. Sony also makes a nice charger, the BCG-34HRMF4. When on sale, with 4 batteries, it’s a great deal. be aware, though, that NiMH batteries all slowly lose their charge on the shelf, and will discharge in about a month or so, so don’t use it for a device that sits around somewhere for long periods. 55 of 63 people found the following review helpful. last WAY longer than alkaline by patent_lawyer these are my first rechargeable batteries, so all I can say is that in comparison to alkaline, these are WAY better and longer losting. Alkalines stop working in digital cameras long before they are actually used up, because they can’t supply the required current for high-demand devices. these Sonys last much more than 4x as long because alkalines only work for a few minutes. these Sonys maintain their voltage at a stable level. I am using them in an Olympus C-755 digital camera, and I charge them using the Sony BCG-34HE4 charger. I can’t say exactly how many pictures you can take on one charge, because they last for so long I lose track. If you have a digital camera, you absolutely must use rechargeable Nimh batteries. Don’t waste your money on the expensive “high-end” alkalines or non-rechargeable lithium, etc. Also, you are doing the environment a favor by not using toxic landfill filler. see all 258 customer reviews…
Battery Maintenance and Repair For HP Pavilion Dv2000 Laptop – Interesting Review – Rebuilding
510 days
by TwiddleGeek
in batteries For Hp
Good maintenance of HP Pavilion dv2000 battery right from the start can reduce cost and efforts towards replacement when it crashes. Keeping the battery active is a clever habit as it prevents the dying-down of the battery’s supplying capacity. there is no questioning the fact that prevention of the problem is better than trying to cure it.
There are many ways to revive the battery from its dead form. Reconditioning, rebuilding and refilling are some interesting methods. Reconditioning is the process of allowing the battery to undergo a controlled series of charge-discharge cycles in order to regulate the chemical material’s response to power supply and hence giving proper output. Usually, this involves letting the laptop shut down all by itself under battery power. try to switch it on under such circumstances and make sure the battery is completely drained out. then charge the battery to the maximum capacity. This process needs to be repeated twice or thrice before using the device again. by allowing the battery to charge and discharge to complete capacity, it regains its ability to supply power at optimal levels and for longer periods.
As the hp dv2000 battery contains a group of cells, each producing electric power for the laptop, it is often possible that only one of the cells is less efficient, although all of them work in unison. This can be due to slight variation in the chemical composition or if the cell was produced in a different batch from the others. in such a case, it is feasible to find only the one cell that is reducing the efficiency of all the rest. by replacing such a cell or a couple of cells, one can regain the previous performance of the battery. This method is called rebuilding of the battery with new cells.
Sometimes the battery performance comes down because of not using for prolonged period which leads to oxidation of the battery’s chemical contents causing too much resistance to the flow of current. by replacing the oxidized chemicals in the battery with fresh un-oxidized ones, the functionality of the battery can be regained.
The batteries that initially give a considerable backup slowly reduce to 15 min and gradually even to 2 min or 20 sec backup service. as soon as the battery begins to show signs of deterioration in performance and support, it is time to look for the most feasible method of repair for the battery. Needless to say, reconditioning is a simple and easy method that one can follow right at home. but for rebuilding and refilling of chemical material, one might have to reach out to the nearest computer store or the battery manufacturer. it might take some basic home work to find the most reliable store that can provide genuine cell replacement. Most often, a new battery might just cause a third of the total cost of the laptop at the time you want to dispose of it. so, looking at repair options is always advisable before you start looking for a new one.
Too much work right. you can find from factory direct.

Battery heated gloves give you the extra benefit of battery power to heat the gloves. this makes it even easier to keep the hands warm when the heat isn’t coming from your body.
You might be wondering how the batteries are able to produce enough heat for your hands. It is quite simple actually. there are heating elements sewn inside the gloves which get hot but not so hot that they catch fire. Since the element is small, the overall weight of the gloves is kept light.
The batteries used to heat the gloves are usually held on a belt buckle or ankle strap. My particular pair of battery heated gloves only requires one 9v battery. you can also use rechargeable batteries to help cut down on the expenses.
Did you know that having warm hands will help keep the rest of your body warm? this is because the heart will keep pumping warm blood to the extremities if they are warm. when the hands become dangerously cold, the body’s response is to stop pumping warm blood to the hands and feet and only pump it to vital organs in the main core.
Even people that live in cold regions of the world need these types of gloves. there is the misconception that because a person lives in a cold climate that their bodies are able to tolerate the extreme temperatures differently.
You won’t just need heated gloves for cold nights but you will also need them in winter, rainy seasons, and any time you are feeling cold. Don’t let cold hands bother you again and get yourself a good pair of heated gloves.
