Car with… "eyes" detects pedestrians

In the market the new system in the 2013

"Vision" capable of detecting pedestrians on the road and at the same time instructing the vehicle's "brain" to stop will be acquired by vehicles by 2013.

The system, which will allow the car to see pedestrians and brake, it will consist of two cameras mounted on the windshield.

The two cameras will be able to detect the size of the object in front of the vehicle as well as the distance separating it from the car. Additional, a special radar with sensors will help to detect objects at a distance that will exceed them 180 meters.

Another advantage of the system is that it will allow – thanks to the radar it has – the possibility for the driver to carry out urgent but precise manoeuvres, while moving at high speed.

Specialists from the automotive field, point out that initially the installation cost of the stereoscopic camera system will be particularly high and it is estimated that it will come to market within 2013.

Appeal for education by Dimitris Mytaras

"Soon we will be the garbage of Europe!»

 "Greek MPs, save education and our children", is the appeal addressed by the Greek visual artist and academic, Dimitris Mytaras, in a letter he sends to the media. Dimitris Mytaras who served as 40 years teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts proposes the creation of a law that precisely defines the operation of educational institutions and clearly defines their operation, while sounding the alarm: if education continues to function in the existing way "we will soon be the garbage of Europe!»

Here is Dimitris Mytaras' letter in detail:

"It is a fact known to all that our universities are degraded
internationally with no hope of recovery. The problems from what I have found are mainly two: One is the interests of the professors who develop according to their own criteria by voting for each other without evaluations, and secondly the interests of the parties which fish for voters through students and students.
Because I lived 40 years as a teacher at ASKT, in the premises of the Polytechnic,
I think the problem should be put under’ before the Parliament and after study
to pass a law, which will precisely determine the operation of educational institutions
 Let the existing modes of operation of the large institutions of Europe and America be studied and a strict law be implemented to determine the obligations of students and teachers. It is unthinkable for teachers to develop without an evaluation system
 It is unthinkable worldwide with a decision of the student union to interrupt classes etc’ indefinitely and create huge gaps in teaching. It is unthinkable that there is an occupation with a lot of theft and violence against the educational staff and all kinds of criminal offenses, such as beatings of professors and control of student unions, by party orders. If they continue in the same way we will soon be her garbage
Europe!
 The legislative power, where is the Parliament, to delegate to a university Committee, outside party criteria and concessions, to draw up a law that guarantees the proper operation and proper development of educational institutions.
 We believe that the Greek Parliament has an obligation to save in this difficult phase the education which is the future of young people because at some point we will have to sweep the yards of the European Union since we will not find work anywhere, as is now done with impoverished immigrants.
Greek MPs, save our children, because the cost will be enormous if we do not hurry. The Hellenic Parliament to save Education. Pass a law for its operation at all levels. Consult the great foreign universities and organize our own. The great interest and the future is education".

Renewed Nissan GT-R

The explosive coupe in its now traditional annual upgrade

It is about to become an institution: or Nissan every year such season reveals her – slightly – updated version of GT-R. For the 2013 the Japanese, instead of the classic solution "more horses”, they chose to work on perfecting various systems, such as throttle response and suspension operation, so as to improve performance, comfort and stability at high speeds. O 3.8 V6 with two turbos remains at 550 horsepower but got new injectors in the fuel injection system (injection), while the turbo and the lubrication system were also improved so that the engine responds better at high revs. In the post, the experience of the struggle of 24 of Nurburgring hours was applied to the production models: springs and shock absorbers became slightly softer, the anti-roll bars were changed and the center of gravity was also lowered, improving grip. An important role is also played by the reinforcement bars under the dashboard which increased the sturdiness.

All this resulted, compared to his model 2012, to reduce the time at the Nurburgring by 3 whole seconds (7’ 18’’ from 7’ 21’’). The upgrade includes the special Premium Edition with rich leather upholstery, while it is now possible to personally choose the interior color. The new GT-R will hit the road in Europe early 2013.
