Waste Heat last the laptop phone 100% battery life

January 21st, 2010

If we use every gadget or as a means of comfort that we know that these devices consume energy. But the Dell Inspiron E1405 Battery energy is not used by devices. A portion of the energy is lost in the form of friction and heat. For example, if we will use the power of computer processor chips, motors and power plants, there is a need to get rid of excess heat is not the equipment will not perform to their optimal level. Now, researchers have to think about the use of these Dell Latitude D410 Battery wastes energy. Peter Hagelstein is the co-author of this concept and is an associate professor of electrical engineering at MIT. His paper was published in the November 2009 issue of Journal of Applied Physics.

When this Dell Latitude D620 Battery energy is wasted, we could cleverly exploited the use of mobile phones double talk time without insert it again and again to recharge. The same could be the case with our laptops, we do not recharge it too often and could also reduce wear and tear. The revised and overloaded power plants can use shell more power when its wasted heat energy can be used.

Hagelstein is of the opinion that the current solid-state devices using excessive heat and convert it into electrical Dell U4873 Dell D5318 energy are not very efficient. He works with his graduate student Dennis Wu as part of his doctoral thesis to find out practically reliable heat converters, which does not carry us his predecessor’s drawbacks. They are gunning manipulator for a realistic technology to come to the realization of the theoretical limits for the efficiency of conversion could.

Postulates that such Dell GD761 Dell 75uyf energy can never go beyond an accurate reading than the Carnot limit. Carnot limit was in the 19 Century, founded. It is a formula for determining the maximum efficiency that the machine can achieve in converting heat into work. But the fact is, in practice, we have reached only about one tenth of this limit. Hagelstein, in close collaboration with Yan Kucherov experiments carried out by a different technology. They have the enviable efficiency as high as 40 percent of the Carnot limit reached. Furthermore, their statistics show that this new type of system could ultimately up to 90 percent, the ceiling.

Hagelstein, Wu and others do not try to improve on the existing equipment. She began again without any past baggage. They use a very simple system in which Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery power was through a single quantum dot state-generated device. This device is a type of semiconductor in which electrons and holes are very confident in all three dimensions is limited. So they tried to understand all the functions of the device. This helped them to better understand every aspect of such a machine.

Hagelstein says that he wants to not only convert heat into electricity, but he decided to do this by achieving a lot of  XPS M1210 Battery energy in return for. He also admits that the current technology is available to use, heat output, but start with one. It’s as high-throughput power. It converts heat from a less efficient system and you get more energy. But this is bigger and more expensive system. After Hagelstein “It is a compromise. Either you get high efficiency and high throughput.” But the team found that with their new system, it would be possible to get both at once.

Hagelstein and his team studied a recent paper by MIT professor Gang Chen carefully released. They talked about closing the gap between the hot surface and the conversion device. They suggested that this Dell XPS M1530 Battery scheme is very important for improving performance. Gang Chen said that the heat transfer could be between very closely refrain surfaces at a rate that is orders of magnitude higher than those predicted by the theory. The new report provides a further step, the heat can be transferred not only to be turned into electricity, so they can be used.

Robert DiMatteo heads a company MTPV Corp. (for Micron gap thermal photovoltaic). DiMatteo is ready to commercialize new Hagelstein idea. He is quite confident that the technology developed by his company to a tenfold improvement in Inspiron E1505 Battery performance over existing photovoltaic devices shown. He plans to market the technology next year. At the same time Hagelstein would give the work of the required impact and a further ten-fold or greater improvement is possible.

DiMatteo presented his statistics and says that globally, if we consume fuel or a power plant generates electricity for nearly Dell Latitude D800 Battery 60 percent of all energy is wasted. This waste is usually in the form of heat. 60% substantial amount. DiMatteo is now hope that the technology to make “it could possible to recover a substantial portion of this energy wasted.”

Hagelstein is of the opinion: “It is a gold mineDell Latitude D600 Battery  in heat, if it could convert. A lot of heat is generated to go to places, and much is lost. If you could recover that your transport is technology, better . work “

Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive

January 15th, 2010

Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive

If you wanto Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive, so what you will need:

  • Microsoft Windows XP intstallation files on a CD / DVD / Image
  • Another PC running Microsoft Windows XP or Vista
  • USB_PREP8 Download:Google,2shared.com
  • PeToUSB Download:Official site
  • Bootsect.exe Download:Google ,2shared.com
  • A USB stick large enough to hold the install files and possibly the Asus EEE PC drivers. In this tutorial a SanDisk Cruzer 4GB is used.

Use a 4 GB if you want to copy the Asus EEE PC Driver DVD. 1 Gigabyte is enough for XP install files only.

Preparing the Bootable USB flash drive

Extract USB_prep8 and PeToUSB.

Copy or move the file PeToUSB.exe from the PeToUSB folder to the USB_prep8 folder. Your usb_prep8 folder should look like this:

Double click the Command Script named usb_prep8.cmd. The command prompt window will look like this:

Insert your USB-flash drive and press any key:

Make sure you have the right USB-stick selected. In the image above you see [SanDisk Cruzer USB Device 4025Mb [E:\]] Selected. Cross the “Quick Format” if you want to save some time (marked in red GD761).

Click on Start. In the dialog box saying “Continue?”, click Yes:

Another dialog box appears, click Yes:

When the format is complete (probably immediately KD476) you will get this:

Click Ok.

Extract bootsect.zip to a folder of your choice. (In this example i use C:\bootsect\).

Open a command prompt (on XP click Start->Run and type “cmd” TD347):

Navigate to the directory where you extracted BootSect.exe using the “cd” command (this example uses folder c:\bootsect):

cd \bootsect\bootsect [Enter]

Then type:

bootsect /nt52 E: [Enter]

This writes a bootable bootsector to your USB flash drive. Do not have any windows open displaying the contents of the USB drive. Bootsect.exe needs exclusive access to the USB disk and you will not be able to write a correct bootsector.

Close this command prompt. (Do not close the other running usbprep8 GD761).

The usbprep8 command line window should now look like this:

Press enter, if it does not look like the window above.

Now we need to supply information for 1-3 in the image above.

Press 1 + [Enter] – Browse for the location of your Windows XP setup files (Your CD/DVD rom KD476). A dialog box will appear:

Select your source for the Windows XP install files (CD/DVD drive) and press OK.

Press 2 +[Enter] – enter a drive letter that is not currently in use. In this example we use T:\

Press 3 + [Enter] – enter the drive letter of your USB flash drive. You can use explorer to check.

Press 4 + [Enter] – To continue with the script.

After a short while the script will ask if you wish to format the drive T:

Press Y + [Enter]. ( This is just a temporary drive to hold the windows installation files)

When the formatting is done, Press enter to continue. You should now see the script copying files. When it has finished you should see this:

You guessed it. Press any key to continue.

The script should copy a few files.

A popup asking if you want to “copy TempDrive Files to USB-Drive in about 15 minutes = Yes” should appear:

Click Yes. The script starts copying files. This takes a while, so go get a cup of coffee or something.

Once it is done, a popup will ask you “Would you like USB-stick to be Preferred Boot Drive U:”:

Select Yes.

Select Yes to unmount the Virtual drive.

Close the usbprep8 command line window and any others you have left open. You might want to copy drivers from your Asus EEE support DVD to the USB stick.

Now we are done with preparing the USB-flash drive. Next step is to make the correct changes to BIOS. TD347

BIOS settings

Turn on your EEE PC. When the screen below turns up, hit [F2]:

You should now be in the BIOS GK479.

Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Boot section of the bios.

Select Hard disk drives as in the image below and hit Enter.

Press the + (plus) key to make the USB stick the first drive:

Exit and save the changes:

Booting your Asus EEE PC into XP install

*IMPORTANT* Do not remove the USB-stick at any part of the installation process of Windows XP.

Reboot your EEE. You should be presented with the following screen:

Select the bottom alternative (as in the image above) titled

“1.TXT Mode Setup Windows XP, Never unplug your USB-drive until After Logon”

From here on the Windows XP setup is pretty straight forward except for the partitioning…

Preparing partitions on the EEE XP Install

When you reach the partitioning portion of the setup you will see something similar to this:

In order to Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive, you need to delete each and every one of the partitions.

When done it should look like this:

Recreate one primary partition on your Asus EEE and PC and format it using NTFS.

Once the text mode portion of the XP install is done, you will see this screen when booting up:

This time select the top alternative titled:

“2. GUI Mode Setup Windows XP. Continue setup + Start XP.”

Complete the GUI part of the setup as usual. Once the GUI part is done and your EEE reboots, again select the top alt. “2. GUI Mode…”.

Now you should boot up at a normal Windows XP desktop. You can remove the usb flash drive if you wish.

Hopes that help you. The next we will introduce the Sony Newest laptop battery: Sony VGP-BPS8 Sony VGP-BPS8A Sony VGP-BPS8B Sony VGP-BPL8 Sony VGP-BPL8A

Why battery standby time more shorter than manufacturers claim

January 11th, 2010

Why battery standby time more shorter than manufacturers claim

All along, many consumers often complain that their laptop battery standby time is always shorter than the manufacturers claims. For this question, the laptop users must realize that. The original notebook manufacturers announced running time is standard time, that is the standard operating procedures time in the measured values. But the manufacturers want to make the value “more attractive”.

So in the test time most manufacturers will reduce the notebook power consumption. For example: Lower notebook LCD screen’s brightness , close the CD-ROM the wireless card infrared and Bluetooth; Donot run large-scale software in the operating system, play video, power management settings will be adjusted to Sony VGP-BPS8 optimal  Performance;

Or even just boot into the operating system and do not run any other programs. In this way CPU, hard drives, memory, screen and other equipment will be in a very low-power state. But users usually use the notebook in the normal power consumption. So users Dell Inspiron 1720 Battery standby time is shorter than the manufactures claimes.

Laptop battery duration is very important for the users. Mobility is the soul of notebook advantage. If the laptop leave the power the Inspiron E1405 Battery is most important to run the laptop. So laptop battery standby time is an important indicator which can not be ignored.

For manufacturers, what is the point of the Apple PowerBook G4 15 inch Battery life? First of all, we all know, there are only two ways to increase the battery usage time. First is increase battery capacity, the second is to reduce the power consumption of the hardware. However, to manufacturers “added the amount of not to raise fares” is almost impossible.

In the hardware side, now the most laptop basic framework are similar, each brand notebook power consumption are in the same level. Only one possible way is to carry out some small manufacturers optimize the circuit, coupled with a number of specially developed software to reduce power consumption. So it would involve a technical issue, for same configuration laptop and same capacity Dell WW116, longer battery life, the better laptop technology.

Second, the longer battery life can be used as a vendor hype of the highlights. That will help to improve their brand awareness. Finally longer Latitude D620 Battery life time is often able to attract many customers eye to buy the product. Which is the most important point to manufactures.

Because of the points mentioned above, in reality, manufacturers used to mislead consumers consumption practices. Because manufacturers customarily used such tactics and many users are fooled unaware of the circumstances. Thus giving rise to the use of laptop battery time and time does not match the nominal become the emergence of a widening trend.
