Safety based on radar technology – Audi braking guard - Auto

Audi braking guard forms part of the radar-based adaptive cruise control system, or ACC for short. This system regulates the speed and the distance from the vehicle in front at speeds between 30 and 200 km/h, independently applying the brakes within certain limits in the process. The amount of traffic on our roads is increasing constantly, as is the amount of information that needs to be processed – meaning that the task of driving is becoming ever more demanding. Audi has developed a technology which promises more relaxed, safer motoring: the Audi braking guard brake assist system is designed to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. It is one of a whole generation of intelligent assistance systems which monitor the area surrounding the car in order to offer additional protection. Audi braking guard is available for the A4, A4 Avant, A6, A8 and Audi Q7 model lines, as well as for the new Q5.The computer is integrated into the vehicle data bus network and is able to communicate with the control units for the engine, automatic transmission and brakes – all within a few thousandths of a second! The entire expertise that Audi has amassed in this field is behind the software’s architecture and detailed design.

SharePoint products and technologies, however, have managed to excite and rejuvenate industry followers, causing them to take notice of the ease of use, scalability, flexibility, and powerful document management capabilities within the product. A number of organizational needs have spurred the adoption of SharePoint technologies. Some of the most commonly mentioned requirements include the following: A need for better document management than the file system can offer —This includes document versioning, check-out and check-in features, adding metadata to documents, and better control of document access (by using groups and granular security).

Creating Custom SharePoint Timer Jobs

In previous versions of SharePoint (or other platforms), if you had some task you wanted to perform on a scheduled basis, you'd have to either create a console EXE and schedule it to run via Windows Task Scheduler (ala AT.EXE) or create a Windows Service that went to sleep for a period of time. In order to install (and maintain) these tasks, you had to have console access to your production SharePoint (or other app) servers... something IT or admins wouldn't easily hand out. Addressing this issue, Microsoft has added something called timer jobs to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. Microsoft uses timer jobs to do things like dead web cleanup (purging unused sites from site collections) among others. To see what other timer jobs are out there, from Central Administration , click Operations and then Timer Job Definitions . Not only does Microsoft use timer jobs in MOSS, but you can create your own custom timer jobs to do your own scheduled tasks. What's nice a
