Wireless solar chargers keep e-buses rolling
Proposed bus stop would gather solar energy, convert it to electricity and then transfer this to electric buses, allowing them to always be charged.
Although individual consumers may be reluctant to trade in their gas guzzlers forelectric vehicles, public transit departments have already been experimenting with these low-emission alternatives. But the challenges of electric transportation are the same for municipalities: mainly, how do you keep the vehicles fully charged without constant interruptions to the travel schedule?
The ATC Solar Curve Bus Stop concept by Studio Mango, featured recently onDesign Buzz, could be an answer to this conundrum. Designed for integration with existing bus stops in the Dutch city of Noord-Brabant, the Solar Curve would place inductive charging technology into bus stops that would allow electric buses to recharge their batteries every time they stop to pick up passengers.
Inductive charging uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. Energy is sent through inductive coupling to an electrical device, which then can use that energy to charge its batteries.
Approximately 15.5 meters of solar panels installed on top of the structure's roof would collect and convert sunlight into electricity throughout the day. The roof would be curved in such a way that would both protect waiting passengers from the elements and allow the energy to be transferred to the bus wirelessly anytime the vehicle pulls up underneath the overhang.
Components for inductive charging are hidden and protected against damage or dirt in the Solar Curve's tilting roof construction. Green LED lights on the bus stop/charging station that can be read very easily by the bus driver as well as the waiting public would indicate when the bus is ready to hit the streets again.

Sarabjit converted to Islam, has a Muslim name Sarfaraz: Surjeet سربجیت سنگھ کا قبول اسلام، نام سرفراز رکھا
Freed after a high decibel drama following Pakistan's alleged flip-flop of first announcing the release of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh and later clarifying that it was Surjeet Singh who was to be repatriated, Surjeet Singh — who on Thursday crossed over to India from Pakistan after spending more than 30 years in prison — claimed that Sarabjit had "converted to Islam" and was now known as "Sarfaraz" in
Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail.
Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail.
Surjeet also claimed that another Indian prisoner on death row in Pakistan, Kirpal Singh, had also "converted to Islam" and had a new
name "Mohammed Din".
Speaking to mediapersons at the information centre of the
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee after paying obeisance at Golden Temple, Surjeet said: "Sarabjit Singh and Kirpal Singh have converted
to Islam. They probably did so in hope of getting mercy. But no mercy
was granted to them. Pakistan authorities do not grant mercy to even
their own nationals."
When contacted, Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur denied that
Sarabjit had converted to Islam. "This is not true at all. Sarabjit was a Gursikh, is a Gursikh and will remain a Gursikh. He has kept photos of
Sikh gurus in jail and a Sikh religious book. He regularly recites from
that book," she said.
Dalbir added that during her visit to Pakistani jail to meet
Sarabjit, she did heard people calling Kirpal Singh by a Muslim name.
"But this is not the case with Sarabjit. Had he converted, he would have some Muslim name," she said. "When I went to meet him in Pakistan, he
was either addressed as Sarabjit or Manjit."
... contd.
When informed that Surjeet had claimed that Sarabjit had changed his
name to "Sarfaraz" after "converting to Islam", Dalbir insisted: "No
way, Sarabjit remains Sarabjit and a Sikh and has not changed his name
or converted to Islam."
Dalbir also took exception to Surjeet's statement that Sarabjit
was hale and hearty in jail. "How can a person lodged in solitary
confinement be happy? If this was the case, why will prisoners seek
release?" she asked.
Meanwhile, Surjeet claimed that if things fell in place, he would ensure that Sarabjit was back home in three months. "Seven to eight
MLAs of Pakistan are my very good friends. Even Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is my good friend. I have had breakfast with Zardari. And I will ensure Sarabjit's release," Surjeet said, alleging that the
Pakistani media and the ISI were against Sarabjit's release.
"It has to be done at the presidential level. If ISI comes to
know about any effort for Sarabjit's release, the agency will never
allow it to happen," he added. Saying that his and Sarabjit's cases were entirely different, Surjeet added: "The case of Sarabjit, who faces
charges of terrorism, is entirely different from mine. Neither India nor Pakistan would like to release terrorists."

India to host Pakistan in Dec-Jan
The cricketing ice between India and Pakistan has finally broken. The stage is now set for a bilateral series, first in five years, between the traditional rivals. A short series of three ODIs and two Twenty20 internationals will be held in December-January.
DNA reported in its edition dated May 30 that moves are afoot to sandwich a series between Tests and One-day matches against England. The three ODIs will be held in New Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai with Ahmedabad and Bangalore getting to host the two Twenty20 fixtures.
The decision to host Pakistan was taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at its working committee meeting in New Delhi on Monday. The board managers rejected a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) offer to play at a neutral venue and instead decided to host the neighbours.
"Ex-cricketers, politicians slam BCCI's decision to resume cricket ties with ..."
As it turns out, England team which will be here for a full-fledged Test and ODI series, will leave home after the Tests for a short Christmas break on December 22 and are not scheduled to play an ODI till January 11, 2013. The 20-day gap between the matches has now been utilised for the Pakistan series.
The BCCI decision comes close on the heels of a recent meeting between the foreign secretaries of the two countries where there were discussions with regard to resumption of bilateral cricket. India and Pakistan have not played in bilateral match since Pakistan's tour of India in 2007.
The terror attacks in Mumbai brought about a complete halt in the cricketing exchange between the countries.
"We've been talking to the PCB for some time. India-Pakistan series is an iconic series and we're happy that the people of the two countries will get to see the matches again," BCCI president
N Srinivasan told DNA. "There is a lot of enthusiasm on either side of the border."
The BCCI will now have to obtain a formal clearance from the government of India but that looks a mere formality. However, the board insiders say the Monday's decision had nothing to do with the recent meeting and the government did not have a role. "This is a BCCI initiative," said the insider.
"This is an in-principle decision of BCCI and PCB. There remain security concerns. Both boards have to indicate the dates and locations for clearances, including security issues," an official in the ministry of external affairs was quoted as saying.
The BCCI decision is in sync with an earlier decision to invite a Pakistan team (Sialkot Stallions) for the Champions League Twenty20. In other decisions, the board decided to send an A team to New Zealand, approved changes to domestic cricket and granted amnesty to Kiran More. Agency: DNA
