SpaceX Falcon 9th modifications more powerful

　　Beijing, February 5, gewen·xiaoteweier, President of SpaceX (Gwynne Shotwell) in United States commercial space transportation Conference in Washington organized by the time February 3, talks about the company, said SpaceX had previously will return to Earth after the Falcon 9th rocket engine firing again, and learns of the situation based on Falcon 9th, make some modifications. Xiaoteweier did not say these "modified" refers to what, but she said those changes would make the rocket "more power".

　　Last December, the SpaceX company Falcon 9th launch rocket, successfully returned to Earth, attracted worldwide attention. The company's CEO Yilong·masike (Elon Musk) say they will not launch the rocket again, but to do some testing to see if it can perform a task. In January this year, the company once again ignite the engines of the Falcon 9th, observe it after the launch and return to Earth, and hardware equipment can operate normally. Mr MASKEY said the test data from the whole is good, but there is an engine to a "thrust fluctuation" phenomenon can be caused due to inhalation of debris.

　　SpaceX company make the rocket returned to Earth, and its reuse, the fundamental purpose of this is to reduce manufacturing costs. But if Falcon, 9th in each land and between subsequent launch requires a lot of checks and repair work, may also result in additional expenditure, waste by reusing saved costs. By understanding from the landing for the first time information, and on this basis to make corrections, SpaceX may reduce maintenance costs between the two missions. Xiaoteweier said the company hopes to make by the end of this year after renovations of Falcon 9th blasted off again.

　　SpaceX in 2016, there are several other important goals. For example, the company would be "commercial crew plan" (Commercial Crew Program) flight abort tests were carried out. The plan proposed by NASA, plans to let private enterprise build spacecraft to transport astronauts to the space station. Aborted in flight tests in order to note, if the rocket failed in flight, SpaceX's Dragon "ship crew capsule if there are opportunities to save. "Dragon" 8 SuperDraco engines embedded in the ship's hull, in case of dissolution of the rockets, they immediately ignite and rocket with a crew capsule to fly away from the fragmented.

　　In addition, the SpaceX Falcon rocket, held this year, the company also plans (Falcon Heavy) first test flight. The rocket is Falcon 9th variants on the side with two extra propeller. As with Falcon 9th, the company also hopes the Falcon rocket research and development to a degree and can be recycled. However, since it requires land 3 propellers, its recovery will be much more complex than Falcon 9th (the latter only 1). Xiaoteweier said that in the next few weeks, Space companies will be the latest Falcon rocket performance parameters made public.

Scientists believe that these cyborgs than robots to be more practical.

　　It is understood that the researchers for giant scarab beetle is equipped with a micro-chip bags, and connect to the electrode was inserted into the leg muscles, they are the weak electrical impulses through electrodes to control insects. These insects without control signals can still freely, because they are still alive.

　　Researchers say they developed cyborgs have many advantages compared with artificial robot. For example, they use insects as a ready-made robot found in nature, and does not need to consider Assembly problems. In addition, the cyborg insects need to consume very small amounts of energy, does not need complex control algorithms.

Samsung bottom than Martha

2014 Samsung life is very difficult as a whole: successive quarterly earnings fell sharply, high-end and low-end market by Apple and manufacturers in China attack, senior personnel turmoil on both sides ... ... These problems via the media and analysts render, once thought that Samsung has already died to the world calamity.

But wait until the end of the earnings, a look at the Samsung results did not seem to be "monsters": $ 188.5 billion sales and $ 21 billion in net profits among technology companies place location. Although lost to Apple, but lose to the flourishing Apple might not now what a shame things.

Samsung's finest days two years ago. 2013, Apple iPhone 5 poor performance, the Samsung Galaxy series hit a sales record. There are one or two quarters of Samsung's profits even beyond the Apple King of money. Samsung was high-spirited, identified themselves as soon to be the sole hegemon of the Smartphone market. Galaxy S4 for sale or even set a sales target of more than 100 million Conference star, please help out, burn it up.

Period of more than six months but in the past, Apple iPhone 5S to the pride of Korea two. IPhone 5S surprise, surprise the outside world equipped with a 64-bit processor and advanced fingerprint recognition technology, only with these two improvements won the favor of consumers. 5S release Samsung flag ship wind turbine sales dropped, the original shipment became a joke; after a year-long period of time, have failed to come up with effective against rival products, watch managed to high-end market share was paid back by Apple. Paul Frank iPad Mini Case

Meanwhile, the rise of emerging countries such as China brands Samsung, low-end mobile phones businesses feeling the pressure. These enterprises and cheap phone, providing performance of Samsung's high-end model while only half the price or even less. Consumers have defected, the results by the end of 2014, Samsung has stepped on the Chinese market.

Smartphone Samsung Electronics had once occupied the revenues of two-thirds, provides a 70% of profits. Mobile phone Samsung led directly to the decline of the business performance plunge, 2014 annual profit fell by more than 20%. Can say that Samsung is "into a cell phone, also lost phone."

Pictures from a.xcar.com.CN

Samsung analyzed decline in more than a year, said its biggest problem was arrogance. Galaxy sales Samsung judge smartphone market still has great room for growth, thought Apple had little technical reserves, more contemptuous of young brands in emerging markets. Several predicted results were face, Samsung flat-footed. Due to lack of response, Samsung failed to come up with effective suppression of rival products, nature can only sit back and share the loss.

But Samsung don't want to just sit still: If you continue will sooner or later come to Nokia end their misery. After a year of preparation, Samsung began his recovery plan.

Different from the former Nokia, Samsung today control of smartphones almost the whole industrial chain: its own production of mobile phone chips, screen, Flash memory, and a number of sensors, also supply parts for other companies such as Apple; this is Samsung's largest advantage over rivals.

This upcoming new generation Galaxy S6 takes full advantage of Samsung's industry strengths. S6 delivered the industry's first 14nm technology memory chips, UFS 2.0 specifications, S6 screen Edge also apply the amazing world of surfaces. These techniques than his main rivals leading months or half a year, the S6 became one of the best Android Smartphone. Paul Frank iPad Mini Case

The other hand, Samsung in the low-end market a complex product lines and improved product performance. Although new products still don't like millet, Huawei cell phone has a very good price-performance ratio of these enterprises, but also there was a lot of progress.

Korea also began to save costs, particularly the control of high marketing costs to increase the cost-effectiveness of the campaign. Profligate days are gone, now Samsung is more efficient.

Samsung's secret weapon: independently developed CPU core will be available next year. New core will rival Apple's Ax CPU performance, while giving away from Qualcomm, Samsung ARM core dependencies. Tizen system developed even though delay promotion, but the plan is still continuing. Samsung seems ready to replace TV, watch with Tizen platform Android, in the field of intelligent hardware is no longer Google around.

These efforts have begun: Galaxy S6 received wide praise once they are published, orders surged; Semiconductor Division to win Apple's new chip foundry, also got the attention of companies such as Qualcomm; Samsung's operating costs fell, top management turnover also substantially completed. Securities markets are beginning to restore confidence, Samsung's share price started to rebound.

Samsung recovery is not good news for competitors. Typically, others trapped in a high-throughput high fever of mycophenolate mofetil Dragon 810 chip Samsung can use cool 14nm processor performance, lay the advantage for Galaxy S6. In the envy of Huawei, millet Samsung, they want to wait until after TSMC 16nm process will mature in the second half to take out rival S6 products. Future Samsung research core and Tizen systems mature, there will be more pressure on other brands.

Chinese manufacturers should not belittle the Samsung beast. The Apple people ridiculed performance decline, now despised Samsung, but the reality is not so simple. Thin camel is larger than a horse, and Samsung is still the annual profits of 20 billion, $ 60 billion of cash reserves strong creatures. To really challenge and beat Samsung in the global market, Chinese companies also needed practical walk a long way. Samsung declined because of arrogance, hope domestic brands do not succeed before this bad habit.

Kite flying steps and tips

Kite tricks

1, kite should be mastered before the wind direction and speed, strong or weak, or smoke if there are flags, see the float direction can know; Kite paste selection cutting pasting correction

When 2, wind suits, kites don't have to ask for help, pulling from side to side, note also that kite flying conditions, until you feel a good wind, kite when climbing, you can stop, slow lines; 

3, when the lack of wind, fast back line, giving artificial increases; if you feel when kite line tension, timing line if kite had a downward trend, shall promptly withdraw some kite-line until the kite in the sky is not falling; 

4, flying kites is the best Assistant, kite line about 10 meters long, facing the wind, two thumbs and index finger lightly to hold the kite behind the skeleton, while moving the line, until the kite rises to a considerable height, the light before and after the shaking, the kite stable;

5, kite-flying stability, attach the kite in the trunk or on the object and let it float, and in the case of wind direction and wind-driven instability, it must be readily manipulated. When the wind suddenly picked up, swing and tilt the kite too large will flip kind of risk of falls, then there are two types of control methods: first, quickly put the line; the second is rapidly towards the direction of the kite running steps;

6 in case when two kite lines tangled, caster don't panic, entangled near immediately, Exchange adjustments line release.

(Ding Yao Yao)

Kite take off

Before you take off to see the direction of the wind, if there is smoke in the vicinity or floating banner depending on the direction it is aware, or anywhere to pick up soil or grass cuttings cast out into the air, can also measure the wind in the right direction, but measured winds no near tall buildings. In the process of rising kite, taking off is difficult, sometimes high altitude wind is ideal for casting a kite shape, low-altitude wind is weaker, skills must be made up. (Should be selected to wind up a kite)

1. wait for the appropriate moment, the wind at the weaker levels weather cast a small kite, or in three-level wind up larger kites, take off will encounter difficult situations, must seize the right moment, waiting for a gust of wind came hurrying up, if the wind is not strong enough you must be patient, or sometimes suffer setbacks.

2. running and put line-the-the on kite rose put has experience of people, except huge giant long of kite yiwai, regardless of any form, are can without please people help and itself rose put, experience slightly owes who, best has a people help banner kite, and drag long kite line ten meters to twenty or thirty meters Zhijian, waiting for gust a to, quickly enrollment lift Zheng partners will kite release (without up throwing out), cast who side run see kite took off case added control, has many people regardless of regardless of bulkhead forward run most not wisdom, for sometimes kite slammed up Shi most easy tilt fell , Especially on soft surfaces and the kite must be running slowly with a long tail and make a kite rises slowly. After the kite rises slightly, if spacious, while moving the line until the kite rises quite high without fall trends, takeoff will succeed. But in a strong wind situations, cast without running a few steps at the start kite can skyrocket.

3. grasp put line timing-the-the sometimes in wind weak of weather in the cast kite, in took off Shi has run to field do end or room not more of situation Xia, dang wind not following must frequently fast forced to retreat line, give people of added wind, as feel kite line slightly heavy immediately grasp timing put line, as feel reduce is should stop put line, as kite has declined of trend, sometimes is must quickly recovered part kite line, until kite can in sky supporting live not pendant, took off work party is successfully reached.

Kite control

If kite structure is good, and wind force balance, still steady as a kite in the air, then tied the kite on the trunk or moving heavy objects can be free to float on, however in the wind and unstable wind conditions must be random manipulation. 1. sudden changes in wind-when the wind suddenly strengthens the kite swing and tilt too much, will have a flip kind of falls risk, at this time there are two control methods, one of which is quickly put the line, the second is quickly run forward a few steps, can ease their situation. But sometimes it suddenly stalled kite wind down, but should be dealt with in the opposite way, backward-running quickly, if no back, the rapid take-up of the available methods.

2. the site harder to use-wind weak cast kites or take off time, should try to save space, can not rewind does not return, to run backward when necessary. Conversely, strong cast kites to wind back to end in order to run forward when necessary, while spacious case, if inadvertently planted the kite falls are unlikely to be hanging in the trees.

3. poor weather-sometimes low-altitude wind extreme instability, Vortex swirling force is too large, the kite leans to one side after taking off; sometimes the wind suddenly erratic kite Dong XI shake, shake, this kind of climate best stop up, because this is not a problem with the kite itself.

Recover the kite

Recover the kite easy, you just have to avoid taking hasty, because when your line, kite lines with ground point is growing forward dive reel too fast kite has risk of falling. Then when take-up must return to high trees far away places, lest the kite down tip hanging in the trees.
