August 28, 2013: New eM-Expert course starts on September 1st in Amman, Jordan
The third eM-Expert course for managers and engineers from several national electricity utilities of the MENA region will be&held in Amman Jordan between September 1st and 5th in cooperation with the Arab Union of electricity (AUE) and the Jordanian National Electric Power Company (NEPCO).
This training course is an integrated part of enerMENA Capacity Building Program introduced and financed by the enerMENA project and aims at disseminating the CSP know-how among decision makers and energy engineers from the public sector of the MENA Region to facilitate better implementation of the CSP technologies.
CSP technology at the Plataforma Solar de Almería
More than 40 participants from several AUE member countries will be attending the eM-Expert-03 course, which will be supervised by five DLR trainers. The scope of the course covers mainly introducing the CSP technologies, CSP Project Planning, Solar Resource Assessment, Storage and the Optimization of CSP Plants.

A sequence of active space experiments was carried out in collaboration
with the Korolev's Rocket Space Corporation "Energy", the Central
Research Institute for Machine-Building and the Institute of
Solar-Terrestrial Physics Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch
(ISTP SB RAS) on September 19-24, 2007 and February 10-14, 2008. Orbital
maneuvering subsystem (OMS) engines of transport spacecraft (TSC)
Progress were used as a source of disturbances for ionospheric and radar
signature characteristics. The altitude of the TSC orbit was about 340
km. In order to perform this experiment the ground-base Radio-Optic
Complex of ISTP SB RAS including Irkutsk Incoherent Scatter Radar has
been involved. Each burn started once in day exactly over the radar. The
exhaust directions as well as amount of injected products were changed
from fly to fly. During "PLASMA-PROGRESS" experiments high precision
measurements of TCV coordinate and reflecting characteristics and
space-time disturbances of plasma parameters have been executed.
Multiple radar beams allowed us to simultaneously observe both the
modified and unmodified ionosphere. The analysis of the data has shown
that burn of the TSC even relatively weak engines causes the
considerable changes both in the electron concentration profile and in
the value of the TSC radar cross-section.

On this day in 1913,
installs the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to two hours and 30 minutes.
Ford’s , introduced in 1908, was simple, sturdy and relatively inexpensive–but not inexpensive enough for Ford, who was determined to build “motor car[s] for the great multitude.” (“When I’m through,” he said, “about everybody will have one.”) In order to lower the price of his cars, Ford figured, he would just have to find a way to build them more efficiently.
Ford had been trying to increase his factories’ productivity for years. The workers who built his Model N cars (the Model T’s predecessor) arranged the parts in a row on the floor, put the under-construction auto on skids and dragged it down the line as they worked. Later, the streamlining process grew more sophisticated. Ford broke the Model T’s assembly into 84 discrete steps, for example, and trained each of his workers to do just one. He also hired motion-study expert Frederick Taylor to make those jobs even more efficient. Meanwhile, he built machines that could stamp out parts automatically (and much more quickly than even the fastest human worker could).
The most significant piece of Ford’s efficiency crusade was the assembly line. Inspired by the continuous-flow production methods used by flour mills, breweries, canneries and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago’s meat-packing plants, Ford installed moving lines for bits and pieces of the manufacturing process: For instance, workers built motors and transmissions on rope-and-pulley–powered conveyor belts. In December 1913, he unveiled the pièce de résistance: the moving-chassis assembly line.
In February 1914, he added a mechanized belt that chugged along at a speed of six feet per minute. As the pace accelerated, Ford produced more and more cars, and on June 4, 1924, the 10-millionth Model T rolled off the Highland Park assembly line. Though the Model T did not last much longer–by the middle of the 1920s, customers wanted a car that was inexpensive and had all the bells and whistles that the Model T scorned–it had ushered in the era of the automobile for everyone.
