Alone inside a button to replace watch battery, even earning an average of 1,500 yuan per month, which may cause not very confident, but it is indeed a true story.

5 years ago, from Chaohu, Anhui Province, a 20-year-old girl, in my district where placed in front of a button to replace watch batteries stalls next to also shore up a billboard that reads, “Please be assured of : The cabinet sold by certain licensing button batteries, purchased from approved sources to authentic, and each pill is approved purchase cost 5 yuan, plus a variety of fees to be paid, so the sale price set at 10 yuan. Welcome to presence of the cabinet to replace the battery, from the date of replacement, if the battery less than two years, I unconditionally to 10 times the original price to be compensation. “inducing effect of such advertising, this rapidly booming business pitch up. At the same time, everyone’s commitment to this girl is also very appreciated.

Well, this girl is how to fulfill its authoritative, it? Recently, I witnessed the unusual move of her: She watches every customer to replace a button battery, it will pocket out of a China brand pencil case back to the inner walls of the table to sign the name of his own mini - When will the day as well as a few minutes, and then tighten the table cover, calibration time Didao customer hands, and smiled and said: “You watch where have my mark, under normal circumstances, this grain button battery, if less than 2 year, please come to me, I will compensate your loss, believe me. “When the customer took delivery to 10 dollars later, she re-invoicing.

“Proof of the pudding, something a long time see the people.” Sure enough, when the customers come back the next time when the replacement button batteries, unscrew a case back look at the dates, are more than two years, and some have even gone almost 3 years.

By contrast, some booths and even some stores to customers the same button to replace the battery, even though the price is relatively cheaper, but it can not be “launched” to two years, its authentic or not, find it difficult to distinguish. Eat a cutting wisdom, so more and more customers to vote in order to praise the girl’s attention, have let the girl inside the button to replace watch batteries. As a result, their business several times higher than others naturally. It is learned that since four years ago, this girl more than 10 pieces a day to replace watch battery button to remove a variety of costs, guaranteed profits, 50 yuan is not a problem.

Said is now difficult to do business, put it bluntly, it’s difficult to be in what state of mind and know-how to do that in good faith under the premise of how to use one’s opponent to tap the business, the details of the door, this might be the girl given the greatest inspiration.

Apple’s iPhone battery replacement costs are too high to interfere in the New York Consumer Association

New York State Consumer Protection Board sent a letter this week, an Apple, asking them to change the iPhone design, allowing users to change their own batteries. Two days ago, lawyers in Illinois on the same issue Apple has just made a class action.

And other consumer electronic products using different removable battery, iPhone mobile phone battery is welded to the body, the only by Apple for the user to replace, the replacement once Apple charges 79 U.S. dollars to the user. In addition, Apple’s replacement battery cell phone during a temporary lease to the user but also charges 29 U.S. dollars.

New York State Consumer Protection Association, chairman of Ming Diba Eckstein (Mindy Bockstein) for this letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), asked Apple to find ways to reduce the cost of the service.

“A high-end cell phone should not have the level of service to the end.” Bakesitan wrote. She also asked Apple to its contract terms more clearly in its stores and Web site that out.

Apple did not resume a call seeking comment. AT & T spokesman said that all of the battery problem should consult with Apple. AT & T is the exclusive U.S. iPhone service provider.

Li-ion battery diesel hybrid engine, operating in Japan

One from the East Japan Railway Company manufactured hybrid canon bg-e6 battery grip engine, July 31 will be officially put into operation, which is the world’s first out of the mix engine, used for commercial purposes.

This is shown by the East Japan Railway Company canon eos 20d battery grip manufactured hybrid engine, called KihaE200, by a two-car unit, a total of 46 seats, the authorized number of 117 passengers. July 31 trains will be the first time officially operational. Running routes on the mountain resort with a total length 79 km.

Hybrid cars at the bottom of each section of the train are equipped with a diesel engine and two electric motors, at the top were each equipped with a lithium battery. Under normal circumstances, the train runs on lithium batteries to power. Diesel engines need only climb on the train or the battery will only be activated when the power shortage. And when the train slows down, diesel engines will gradually stop working, its kinetic vgp-bps2 , vgp-bps2a energy generated due to inertia can be used just to charge the battery, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing energy consumption unnecessarily.

In addition to regular trains buttons and instrument panel, the hybrid engine, the driver also equipped with touch-control panel. A driver could drive the process, through the panel shown pointer to the direction of energy flow, in time for diesel engines, generators, electrical motors and vgp-bps2b , vgp-bps2c battery combinations to switch between so that the energy balance to reduce energy waste to a minimum.

Hybrid Intelligent Charger come Almighty Chong

Recently, an “all red” hybrid smart charger Industrial dslr battery grip Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, the base earnings come out. This from the company’s “international Tong” brand successfully developed both to Ni-MH battery charger charging, is able to alkaline batteries, rewritten non-rechargeable alkaline battery technology gaps, but also solve the waste battery recycling and re-utilization problems.

According to reports canon bg-e2n battery grip, this “all red” battery charger is the world’s first alkaline, nickel metal hydride hybrid smart charger, unique in the industry. “All red” allow different capacities, different types of nickel-metal hydride batteries and alkaline batteries while charging the battery not only two kinds of utility maximization, and the charging effect is also very good: the amount of alkaline batteries charge up to the original battery 80%, Ni-MH battery up to 90%. According to different characteristics of different manufacturers of batteries, rechargeable alkaline battery usage of 20 to 50, Ni-MH canon bg-e3 battery gripy is as high as 1000 times or more.

In addition, international-pass “all red” charger uses intelligent microcomputer control, automatic tracking of different types of charge curve, automatic identification of cell types, combined with the maximum time, maximum voltage, maximum capacity, - △ V, ○ △ V, internal resistance slope and many other control methods, can accurately determine battery conditions, will not lead to overcharge, so that the safety of the battery has been effectively protected, and both over-temperature protection, overcharge protection, short circuit protection and many other kinds of protective measures canon bg-e5 battery grip, consumers can rest assured that use.

If the computer supplier to strictly follow the guidelines, they will find that it is impossible for fast charging, because the fast charge is usually need a higher than normal charge voltage.

Battery cell test is usually done in the production process. In order to improve security, the guide recommends adding a new test, the test object using rechargeable battery good power core. Test, deliberately inserted between the electrode a metal particle, and then pressed to produce a short circuit. Can be observed by testing the internal short-circuit power core state.

In notebook computers, lithium-ion battery is not a single use, but rather a number of battery-core build-up in a package. Usually two battery cells in parallel with the formation of lumps, and then thread a few blocks further. This is also the guide of battery packaging design requirements.

Guidelines described in detail in a number of aspects of the method to avoid thermal runaway, for example, block layout, based on each block (not per package) the precise charge voltage control, and control circuit board and battery cores isolation.

JEITA and BAJ have raised the hope that in Japan, IEC Sub-Committee to develop guidelines for their submission to the IECSA-21 and IECTC-108 Committee.

For years, point-and-shoot buyers have – if market research from the camera manufacturers is to be believed – wanted one thing, to the exclusion of just about all others: more megapixels. Although the (frightening) prospect of 18 or even, God forbid, 20 megapixel small-sensor cameras continues to loom just beyond the horizon, that race has slowed to a crawl compared to what it was not so long ago.

Which, in turn, opens the door to a kind of cut-throat technological competition between manufacturers that I can really get behind: more zoom range. Once upon a time, a 3x optical zoom on a point-and-shoot was a luxury, but this year’s Consumer Electronics Show has seen 10x zooms fitted into a growing list of pocket cameras, and obscenely wide-ranging 20x-plus optics mounted on otherwise moderate and mainstream ultrazooms.

Let me say for the record that I’m fully behind the idea of more zoom range in smaller cameras in a way that I haven’t been with more resolution since the six megapixel days came and went. But while adding zoom range – unlike boosting resolution – generally has lots of pros and few if any cons, when you start talking about cameras like the Olympus SP-590 UZ, which covers the equivalent of 26-676mm with a single lens, my unwavering “pro zoom” stance starts to crack just a tiny bit.

Olympus SP-590 UZ

The fairly compact 590’s 26x optic raises some key questions about image quality and usability, in particular, but Olympus was kind enough to let us explore a pre-production 590 in much greater depth to see what answers we might uncover for our detailed hands-on preview.

The Tumblr staff has done an interesting little breakdown of the metadata on Tumblr blog photos. I’m sure you guys have seen Flickr’s equally-interesting Camera Finder page, which is used as a sort of talking point by Apple fans due to the iPhone dominance; this was a similar examination, though with seriously different results. Tumblr’s analysis also takes a look at the lenses being used by the Canon users, a metric more interesting to gearheads than tech buffs.

This kind of information is a dream come true for people who like to transmute raw data into conclusions. They call themselves analysts, but it’s more alchemical than analytical, isn’t it? At any rate, the data are interesting to anyone interested in photography or blogging, so take a look.

If I had to draw conclusions from this, I would say that first of all, Apple really got their foot in the door with Photo Booth and iSight. Built-in webcams are still associated with Apple products although even the lowliest netbooks sport bezel-mounted cams of similar (that is to saw, low) quality. They’ve also done very well with the easy sharing of photos from your iPhone, which likely puts them on Flickr for most people but clearly has trickled down to Tumblr as well. I see Android overtaking them soon, however: once you have Android phones with simple picture-sharing apps being offered free with a contract and ~$50 monthly fee, there will be a lot more Android photos being pushed straight to web services. Apple should enjoy its time in the sun and not be discouraged if it loses its crown.

The other thing I notice is that the Canon users (Tumblr didn’t analyze Nikon or others) are overwhelmingly using the kit lens to take their photos. That’s understandable since most retail stores push that kit box instead of body-only, but the tactic is a one-time sell, apparently. These people aren’t going on to buy more lenses, because they don’t know what a good lens is. You sell them a garbage wide-angle zoom (the new IS version is supposed to be better, but still) and they think that’s all there is to it. Again, you can’t blame the users; not having shot an SLR before (as is the case with many consumer DSLR buyers), they don’t see the benefit of better glass — though they can see the cockamamie prices.

Now, I’m no glass fiend (though things might be different if I could afford it), but I think every DSLR user should get a chance to try a decent prime. The kit lens goes for around $100; the 50mm F/1.8 II is cheaper than that, and would be an excellent first lens. I traveled around the world with just that lens, and I think I’m a better photographer for it — plus I’ve invested in a few other lenses, having seen what this one is capable, and incapable, of doing. So Canon ought to offer two kits versions, one with that 18-55mm and one with a prime, 50mm or otherwise. It’ll drive glass and accessory sales and make a bunch of new photographers better.
