AIRSPACE by Airbus

Design-to-perform. There is a craft to creating aircraft and it begins with the Airbus design philosophy of “Passenger at heart, airline in mind”.
An innovative new concept in jetliner cabins was launched this week with the “Airspace by Airbus” brand, bringing together an enhanced experience for passengers and optimum performance for airlines based on four dimensions: comfort, ambience, service and design.
Introduced with Airbus’ widebody A330neo (new engine option) version – and incorporated on the A350 XWB – Airspace cabins offer a more relaxing, inspiring, attractive and functional environment for travellers and optimises the use of cabin space for operators. 
Kiran Rao, the Executive Vice President of Marketing & Strategy, said Airspace continues Airbus’ non-stop innovation and furthers the company’s leadership in providing cabin comfort excellence – applying advanced cabin technologies developed for its recent programmes. 
“The A380 already offers the best comfort of any aircraft, and the A320 is the top in its single-aisle category,” he explained. “Airspace is another step forward, reflecting our decision to bring consistency on our two best-selling wide-body aircraft: the A350 XWB and A330neo.”
Signature design elements recognizable throughout all Airspace cabins include wider seats; larger overhead storage bins; spacious, contemporary lavatories with antibacterial surfaces; along with unobstructed under-seat foot space. Other features are a unique and customization welcome area at the main passenger boarding door, the latest in LED technology for ambient lighting, as well as clean shapes and surfaces throughout the interior.

Features for operators include a range of new galley/lavatory options such as modular Space-Flex to maximize trolley capacity, wheelchair-accessible lavatory configurations to suit individual airline requirements, and freeing up of main deck space to allow for additional seating.

Tesla Semi Truck


The Tesla CEO makes an entrance in the company's latest electric vehicle, the Semi, at a launch event in Hawthorne, California. After driving into the arena, he asked the audience to look at the trucks for a moment. The goods vehicles are expected to start production in 2019.

Tesla Roadster – 2nd Generation Debuts; 0-97 km/h in 1.9 seconds, 402 km/h top speed, 998 km range

The Tesla Roadster is an all-electric battery-powered four-seater sports car from Tesla, Inc. It was announced in November 2017 that it would be the fastest accelerating production car ever made.




Tesla announced a new version of its very first car, the
Roadster, turning it into an electric super-car described as a “hardcore
smackdown to gasoline cars” by company founder Elon Musk.
The new sports car was unveiled alongside Tesla’s new electric truck, and
promises to wow drivers with some extraordinary statistics that make it look
like a Top Trumps card turned into an electrified reality.
Here’s everything we
know about the new Tesla Roadster.

  1. Zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds

Elon Musk said prototypes of the “base model” are able to hit 60mph
from a standstill in 1.9 seconds and that a production version of the car may
be able to accelerate even faster.
That’s a full 0.4 seconds faster to 60mph than the current fastest Tesla, the Model S P100D, in the so-called ludicrous plus mode, which hits 60mph in 2.3 seconds. But it would also be faster than any current production car, with the performance hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder the current king with a 0-60mph time of 2.2 seconds. The fastest 0-60 mph time ever recorded was 1.5 seconds by the AMZ Grimsel Electric Race Car.

If hitting 60mph in 1.9 seconds wasn’t enough, Tesla reckons the
Roadster will be able to reach 100mph from a standstill in 4.2 seconds and go
on to do a quarter-of-a-mile time of 8.9 seconds, should Vin Diesel ever come
calling.

3.A top speed of 250 mph

Elon Musk proudly proclaimed that the Roadster will have a top speed
of over 250mph, if you can find a straight long enough. The current record for
top speed for a production car is the Koenigsegg Agera RS, which reached a speed of 277.87mph on 4 November, in Pahrump, Nevada.

As if record-breaking acceleration wasn’t enough, Musk said that the Roadster should be able to drive around 630 miles of motorway driving between charges with a 200kWh battery. The current top-rated distance for the Model S 100D at 55mph, at 20 Celsius, is 424 miles.

Deliveries are scheduled for 2020 and not expected to begin before the Tesla Model Y launches. Elon Musk stated that the Roadster would be the quickest vehicle in the Tesla lineup, with a new acceleration mode called "Maximum Plaid", beyond the previously released Insane Mode and Ludicrous Mode acceleration modes found in the performance model versions of the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X.

The 2020-era Roadster was designed by Franz Von Holzhausen.

DIY HEARTBEAT SENSOR

Heart rateπŸ’“πŸ’“ is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (bpm).
When the heart beat detector is working, the beat LED flashes in synchronously with each heart beat. This digital output can be connected to micro-controller directly to measure the Beats Per Minute (BPM) rate.
It works on the principle of light modulation (Light to voltage converter) by blood flow through finger at each pulse.

Main Component it uses is Proximity Sensor.

This project demonstrates a technique to measure the heartbeat by sensing the change in blood volume in a finger artery while the heart is pumping blood . It consists of an infrared LED (Light emitting diode) that transmit an IR signal through the fingertip of the subject, a part of which is reflected by the blood cells.
The reflected signal is detected by photo diode sensor. The changing blood volume with Heart beat results in a train of pulses at the output of photo diode.
This type of sensors are already used commercially in mobile phones like Samsung Galaxy ALPHA, Galaxy S5 etc.
