What is the future of periodic technical inspection (PTI) for autonomous and automated vehicles? This is the question that the Germany-based Kraftfahrzeug-Überwachungsorganisation freiberuflicher Kfz-Sachverständiger (KÜS, motor vehicle inspection association of freelance motor vehicle experts) has been investigating. With its innovative KÜS DRIVE test line, it is testing the limits of what is possible. dSPACE is providing active support to the organization.
All car owners in Germany know that their vehicle has to regularly pass a mandatory PTI. In accordance with the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO), a test engineer examines safety-relevant mostly mechatronic, vehicle components such as lighting, brakes, the drivetrain under the vehicle, tires, etc., with regard to design, condition, function, and effect. These examinations are supported by a main inspection adapter, which communicates with the vehicle via the onboard diagnosis (OBD) interface. Due to the rapid technological development of vehicles, which is characterized in particular by the integration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the test contents of the PTI must also keep pace with this development, in order to continue to ensure road safety. Camera sensors have long been monitoring lane compliance and alerting drivers when they cross the sidelines. And if the car comes dangerously close to road users ahead, the autonomous emergency braking system (AEBS) intervenes and eases the situation.
With the dSPACE simulation solution, we have a flexibly configurable way to efficiently and reliably check the correct functioning of sensors and driver assistance systems of real vehicles in our test centers.
With its expertise in the field of periodic technical inspections, KÜS is a valued and promising development partner for us.
With KÜS DRIVE; we offer a solution to improve vehicle safety and functional safety of driver assistance systems and of automated driving over the entire product life cycle.
Safe Over the Entire Vehicle Life Cycle
The first drivers on the road with cars that recognize their surroundings and drive partly autonomously, called level 2 and level 3 vehicles, rely on these and other sensors. “But how can the functional reliability of these sensitive components be ensured over the entire vehicle life cycle?” asks Dr. Thomas Tentrup, head of development at KÜS, addressing, the industry-wide question. To meet this safety-critical challenge, the German testing organization KÜS, with the support of dSPACE, has developed and implemented the KÜS DRIVE test line. This makes it possible to stimulate a vehicle's environment sensors without any manipulation of the test cars and without accessing their relevant ADAS control units. This solution facilitates the performance of relevant relevant, scenario-based, effect-principle tests in accordance with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) and the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Non-contact testing of imaging sensors using physical inputs such as radar, lidar, ultrasound, or light waves is referred to as over-the-air (OTA) testing.
OTA Stimulation of the Vehicle Sensors
“For valid and reproducible results, we use the vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) simulation method, in which a real vehicle is tested in a virtual environment,” explains Ahmet Karaduman, consultant at dSPACE. He adds: “This form of validation can be used not only in PTI, but also in end-of-line testing in automotive production, type approval/homologation, and R&D purposes.”
During the VIL test, the vehicle is located on Dürr Assembly's steerable roller dynamometer ‘x-road curve’ and is able to be quickly and accurately accelerated, braked, or steered to the right and left by the driver, according to the respective test scenario to be run. Due to the technical characteristics of the chassis dynamometer, the vehicle always remains positioned longitudinally with respect to the axis of symmetry of the dynamometer and can travel at speeds of up to 130 km/h. Using the software interface between the steerable chassis dynamometer and the dSPACE tool chain, it is possible to transfer the real physical movements of the vehicle to a digital shadow. The shadow is calculated in real time on a simulator from dSPACE, together with the vehicle environment. The simulation feeds a monitor and radar target simulator to the OTA stimulation of the camera and radar sensors.
The Test Setup for the Sensor System
“A monitor and a radar antenna are integrated into the test line and located directly in front of the vehicle under test. Both can be positioned horizontally, vertically and axially by means of the flexible gantry system "x-around" from Dürr Assembly Products,” says Karaduman, describing the setup for the sensor test.
The monitor stimulates the vehicle's camera with environment and road scenarios animated by the sensor-realistic simulation solution AURELION in the form of a 3-D world. The visualization is used to check whether the camera sensor of the vehicle under test (VUT) correctly detects the relevant objects. The correct functioning of the lane keeping assistance system (LKAS) and the lane departure warning system (LDWS) is also tested with suitable road simulations.
To test the radar sensor, the antenna of the dSPACE Automotive Radar Test Systems (DARTS) radar target simulator is positioned directly in front of the sensor. DARTS emits the radar reflections of a simulated target object. The reflection waves accurately reflect the distance, size, and speed of the object, thereby stimulating the radar sensor. This enables reproducible testing of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and autonomous emergency braking system (AEBS) which is safe for the test engineers.
The homogeneous and coordinated hardware and software components of the test bench thus enable a stable test sequence in real time. If required, test cases can be reproduced exactly to prove the successful elimination of errors. “Reproducible results are essential for the evaluation of technical tests, especially during a periodical inspection,” notes Dr. Tentrup.
Looking to the Future
KÜS recognized at an early stage that automation in the automotive sector entails a wide range of safety issues for road-legal vehicles with a high degree of automation that need to be resolved. In order to keep pace with this technological progress in the field of functions for automated driving and driver assistance systems, the requirements for the periodic technical inspection regulated by law are constantly increasing.
“For this reason, KÜS launched a research project with the KÜS DRIVE with the aim of integrating the current test scopes of the main inspection into a test lane in which the safety-relevant driver assistance systems can also be tested by means of OTA testing.” With DRIVE, we are working on the innovations of tomorrow, to advance solutions to improve vehicle safety and the functional safety of assistance systems and automated driving throughout the entire product life cycle,” explains Peter Schuler, CEO of KÜS.
Adapting PTI to Automated and Autonomous Vehicles (SAE Level 3)
Legally prescribed PTI not only contribute to the prevention of technical malfunctions but also increase road safety. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are capable of significantly reducing accidents caused by human error or incapacity. For this to happen, however, these systems must function error-free over the entire life cycle of the vehicle. Possible disruptive factors are:
- Aging of material and components
- Defective or faulty maintenance
- Manipulation of components and systems
- Unauthorized or excessive tuning
- Limits of self-diagnosis
The detection of technical defects and thus the maintenance of traffic safety is ensured, among other things, by the periodic inspection. For example, adaptive cruise control (ACC) and emergency braking assistants (AEB) can prevent rear-end collisions even at high speeds and thus contribute significantly to reducing the number of accidents. It is especially in these accidents, where a moving vehicle collides with a vehicle traveling in the same direction or a stationary vehicle, that many fatalities and serious injuries occur in addition to the high property damage. However, incorrect triggering of an emergency brake assistant that is not set correctly can also lead to rear-end collisions.
Periodic Check of Safety Systems
In the course of developments in the automotive sector, it is clear that the importance of driver assistance systems is changing. “While they were initially 'comfort systems' that made it easier for the driver to drive the car, they are increasingly evolving into 'safety systems’,” Karaduman explains. From this point of view, it becomes clear how indispensable it is to include these systems in the framework of periodic technical inspection and to create the legal basis for this.
The KÜS DRIVE test line already demonstrates a convincing technical solution concept for the new test scope requirements for the regular main inspection of automated vehicles. The safety of functions for automated driving can be tested and demonstrated in suitably equipped test centers over the life cycle of a vehicle.

dSPACE MAGAZINE, PUBLISHED JULY 2023


Researchers from Brookhaven’s biology department and the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) characterized a component of the virus that will be the target of new anti-SARS virus drugs. The results were published online by Biochemistry on November 17, 2006.
“Although vaccines against viruses are very effective, vaccines for viruses that mutate rapidly – such as the viruses that cause SARS, AIDS, and bird flu – are much more difficult to obtain,” said Brookhaven biologist Walter Mangel, the lead author of the paper. “Even if a vaccine is available, antiviral agents are important in stopping the spread of highly infectious viruses. If antiviral agents for SARS had been available, they could have been used to contain the outbreak to the initial site of the infection.”
The researchers studied the SARS main proteinase, an enzyme used by the virus during infection to cut newly made viral proteins into gene-sized, functioning pieces. If the proteinase is prevented from working, the virus infection is aborted. Previous studies have revealed that the proteinase is inactive when in the form of single molecules. But once two of those molecules bind together to make what is called a dimer, the enzyme becomes active and is able to play its role in SARS virus reproduction. The challenge for researchers, and the focus of the Brookhaven study, was to determine the concentration at which individual proteinase molecules form active dimers. Knowing this concentration, for which estimates at other laboratories have varied greatly, would allow researchers to search for anti-SARS drugs more efficiently by ensuring that the proteinase used in tests is initially in its active form.
Using three different scientific techniques, including x-ray scattering at the NSLS, the Brookhaven researchers obtained almost identical values for this concentration. Now that this crucial value has been narrowed down to a precise range, researchers can focus on finding compounds that bind to the active form of the enzyme.
“Targets for antiviral drugs must be carefully chosen such that binding to it prevents the virus from reproducing,” Mangel said. “Viral proteinases are excellent targets for antiviral drugs. One reason so many people are surviving the AIDS epidemic is the effectiveness of drugs targeted to the proteinase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).”
One way to obtain compounds that bind to a proteinase is via high-throughput screening. Chemical libraries containing tens of thousands of small compounds are available that can be searched for effective drugs against various diseases. Small amounts of a target, e.g., an active viral proteinase, are placed in tiny wells in a plate, and a different compound from the library is added to each well.
To determine whether a compound binds to and inhibits the proteinase, an additional molecule is added that changes color in the presence of an active proteinase. Wells that don’t show a color change therefore contain compounds that inhibit the proteinase, and could be effective antiviral agents. Earlier this year, Mangel’s research group published a procedure on the synthesis of a new compound that changes color in the presence of the active form of the SARS main proteinase.
However, for this screening process to work, the SARS proteinase inserted into the wells has to be active to begin with. Knowing the concentration range for dimer formation will therefore help researchers in their search for a compound to stop the virus. “Now that the stage is set, high-throughput screening can begin,” Mangel said. “Hopefully, it will yield an antiviral agent that can be stockpiled before a virulent strain of the virus reappears.”
This research was supported by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences within the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

A Determination of the Kinematic Quantities of a Rotating Object by Digital Image Correlation Method
1Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics, Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,Košice,Slovakia
In this contribution an experimental determination of kinematic quantities of an automobile cooling fan by its rotational movement is described. The displacements of the fan surface were captured by two - cameras high-speed correlation system. The obtained data exported from some chosen points were for the purposes of post-processing imported into Matlab. For a verification of the reached results the second independent experimental method was used – the determination of the cooling fan rotational frequency was performed by a digital-optic tachometer.

Three-dimensional digital image correlation method belongs to the group of noncontact optic methods, which nowadays fully engages into the conception of measurement principles with high sensitivity and accuracy [1, 2]. It is based on the comparison of digital images obtained from at least two CCD cameras during the investigated object movement or loading Figure 1.
There are two forms of digital image correlation systems – a low-speed system and a high-speed one. It is possible to use the first mentioned only by low sampling frequencies (maximally several fps). Such a system mostly contains the objectives with higher resolution and thus it is suitable for the deformation analyses .
A high-speed correlation system with smaller objectives resolution can be usedfor the analyses, by which high sampling frequency is necessary. A common sampling frequency of the high-speed systems isseveral thousand fps and therefore they primary serve as a tool for motion analyses, vibration analysis , modal analyses , drop tests , crash tests or fracture mechanics.
Displacements in two perpendicular directions and are investigated by the using of pseudo-affine transformations (1), (2) of the nodal points of user defined virtual grid :
Where xt, yt are the transformation coordinates and a0 ,a1 ,a2,...,a7 are the transformation parameters.
The strain fields are subsequently determined by the analysis of local facets curvatures Figure 2.
2. Motion Analysis of A Rotating Object
The purpose of the analysis was to capture, evaluate and utilize the displacements of a rotationally moving object. The measurement object was a cooling fan of the automobile Skoda Felicia Figure 3.
The fan was fixed to a wooden support stand and actuated by a power supply.
The measurement performed by the high-speed digital image correlation system Q-450 Dantec Dynamics was intent on the fan start,movement by certain immediate angular velocities and free after-running as well, which happened after the power supply switch-off.2.1 Image Correlation System Configuration and Settings
For the acquisition of the moving object displacements it was needful to perform a dynamic measurement with sufficient sampling frequency. By the use of spray colors a stochastic black and white pattern required for the right correlation of the images was created on the fan rotating parts. Configuration of the high-speed correlation system used for the measurement is depicted in Figure 4.
The experiment was captured by the high-speed CCD cameras SpeedSense 9070 with the image resolution of 1280x800 px. In consideration of the limited inner memory of the cameras and the aim of the experiment to capture the whole process from fan start to its stop it was necessary to find a convenient sampling frequency and acquisition time.
The sampling frequency was set to 2500 fps. The acquisition time was adjusted after the observation of the fan start and after-running duration to 8 s. Our idea was to capture ca. the first five seconds after the power supply switch-on, whereby the remaining time of 3 s should serve as a sufficient reserve for the acquisition of fan after-running.
The apertures of the objectives were adjusted to f-number of 22, by which the maximal depth of focus was attained. The exposure time of both cameras was set to the highest allowable value of 399 μs. Cameras fields of view are visible in Figure 5.
The system captured 20000 images from both cameras.
For the reasons of using only two - cameras correlation system, by which the fan side parts could not be captured and only one powerful source of white light, which caused some unwanted reflections or shades on the fan surface, five segregate regions depicted in Figure 6 were selected and evaluated.
3. The Results of the Analysis
The first step for the next data post-processing was the acquirement of the displacements fields evaluated by the operating correlation systems Dantec Dynamics software Istra 4D. In this software the own coordinates system with the origin determined in a green point (see Figure 7) was defined. Direction X is represented by a virtual flowline of the origin with the point depicted by a light-blue color. It caused, that two of the fan blades were turned into a vertical position.
As the software Istra 4D does not allow to select points with exactly defined position, three virtual gauges (in a form of points) were chosen approximately on the line depicted in Figure 8 by a yellow color. Their displacements in time were imported into Matlab for the next processing.
The trajectories of selected points are depicted in the following Figure 11.
Subsequently a script created in Matlab serving for visualization of the particular points mean velocities in timewas used. The simple script algorithm consists of the following parts:
1. creation of the matrix of rotation angle
2. creation of the elements of rotation radius matrix
3. definition of the elements of rotation angle variation matrix
4. creation of the elements of angular velocity variation matrix where fs is a sampling frequency;
5. creation of the mean velocity matrix elements defined as
The noise occurring in the mean value of the third point velocity is caused by a correlation error growing with the increasing velocity of particular points.
Pursuant to Euler’s theorem the mean values of angular velocities of threeexamined point were determined. Subsequently by the use of
the mean values of rotational frequency in fixed time intervals ΔT=1/fs were computed. A graphical visualization of the time dependence of the mean values of rotational frequency can be seen in Figure 14.
It was necessary to verify such obtained results by the use of an independent method. The primary aims of verification were formulated as find the proofs, that:
the fan velocity is still growing during the examined time interval from 0 s to 4.77 s,
in time point of ca. 1.2 sthe acceleration of the fan is changed,
rotational frequency reaches in every time pointa value, that is corresponding to the real value.
The verification of the obtained results was performed by digital-optic tachometer Almemo. The apparatus consisted of a measuring LEDsonde Almemo FU A919-2 and a measuring device Almemo 2390-8 Figure 15.
The principle of this device is based on the tracking of visible ray of red light (660nm) emitted and reflected back to the LED sonde from the object surface where a reflex element is bonded. The behavior of rotational frequency in time captured by this optic method can be seen in Figure 16.
The time dependences of velocities and rotational frequencies suggest that the fan has rotated with an accelerated movement in the whole captured process. The decrease of the acceleration after 1.2 s could be caused by the increase of a resistance force. The state of a dynamic equilibrium was achieved after 12 s from the fan start by the measurement with Almemo.
The digital image correlation is a practical modern optical method serving for the examination of rotating objects kinematics quantities. A big advantage is that it provides the data about these quantities in each investigated object surface point.
The user should be very careful by the options of sampling frequency and acquisition time because of a limitation, that the higher velocities, the higher correlation errors.
The work has been accomplished under the projects VEGA 1/0937/12 and KEGA 021TUKE-4/2013.

What prompted your organization to join the CEBA community?
Verse’s mission is to unlock the benefits of clean energy for organizations everywhere. We’re doing that by developing software that uses generative AI to make buying and managing clean energy faster, easier, and less expensive than it is today. CEBA’s work convening and supporting organizations interested in procuring clean power is a perfect fit for us. We’re excited to collaborate with CEBA to showcase the power of technology in accelerating and scaling corporate clean energy adoption.
What does the future of clean energy look like for your organization?
Verse’s vision of the future of clean energy is AI- and software-driven. The world is at an inflection point of AI-enabled solutions; we want to apply the capabilities of generative AI to clean power procurement.
Verse’s Aria software platform leverages this technology to help companies define their clean power goals, design the best portfolio to meet those goals, manage their clean energy assets, and verifiably report on their emissions and financial metrics.
Recent policy changes, the evolution of various regulatory and voluntary frameworks, and the increasing complexity of energy markets and clean energy assets are quickly exceeding the analytical capabilities of humans and spreadsheets. Clean energy customers will increasingly require the computing power of AI to synthesize concepts and analyze potential scenarios to develop future-proofed clean power strategies.
What has been the most interesting clean energy project during your time with your organization?
One exciting case study involved helping a company figure out what clean power procurement philosophy would best meet its needs.
This customer wanted to power their operations with clean energy, but needed to answer several detailed questions before acting.
- Location matching: Can we buy clean energy from anywhere in the country? Or from the same grid?
- Time matching: Should we match clean power on an annual basis? Monthly? Hourly?
- Emissions matching: How much greenhouse gas emissions will my clean energy purchase help avoid?
Using the Aria Goal Setting app the customer received nine possible procurement philosophies to analyze considering different permutations (e.g., 100% clean energy, carbon-matching, location-matching, and/or time-matching).
Aria uses mathematical optimization, combined with pre-loaded, 20-year hourly market forecasts to evaluate the cost, emissions, and time-matching implications of the nine scenarios.
The customer presented the outputs from Aria to their senior leadership team, which was then able to make a data-driven decision, selecting the procurement philosophy that best met their objectives while staying within budget for clean energy purchases.
By defining their clean power goals, the customer was able to move forward with confidence in their clean energy journey and is now going to market to source clean energy.
Envision a 90% carbon-free U.S. electricity system by 2030 – what is the next step toward a carbon-free energy future?
It’s hard to pick just one! There are several critical steps that need to coalesce, including streamlining interconnection processes and expanding transmission and grid infrastructure. The step we’re focused on is making clean energy procurement faster, easier, and less expensive than it is today so more organizations can access the benefits of clean energy. We are confident we can leverage powerful emerging technologies — like generative AI — to demystify this complex field and make a real difference in how organizations source and manage their power.


Israeli Researchers Develop New Test That Detects Risk of Breast or Ovarian Cancer
Israeli researchers have developed a test that can predict if healthy women are at a significant risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Using a blood test, the researchers from Hadassah Medical Center were able to identify the presence of a harmful mutation, which may trigger those types of cancers in women.
The test, which was developed using a technology called gene expression profiling, is able to predict the presence of harmful BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in otherwise healthy women.
“This novel technology aims to provide a layer of information regarding the cell functionality aspect of BRCA mutations that could greatly enhance the doctor’s ability to identify high-risk carriers,” explains Dr. Asher Salmon, who led the research team.
The new test will require less resources. Until the present the only means of detecting such mutations was by doing a full gene sequencing, but Dr. Salmon said the process is “expensive, time consuming and, in many cases, lacks clear and decisive information for making a clinical decision.”
According to Salmon, the test can reveal many different types of harmful mutations. “In societies where gene sequencing is not feasible, this test can substitute for it with a very high accuracy rate,” Salmon explains.
The Israeli research team reported their findings in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Organizations that rely on the big data processing power of Hadoop can come across problems when the raw data of Business Intelligence (BI) workflow creates a bottleneck. The analysts who need the data to make decisions do not typically have the advanced programming skills required to access the mountains of data in Hadoop. Platfora removes this bottleneck by transforming the raw data in Hadoop into interactive, in-memory BI without the need for a separate data warehouse. Platfora’s Vizboards intuitively turn the big data into visual charts, graphs, or whatever is most appropriate. The Vizboards user can then filter out unneeded information as well as view analysis and results as they go. Another powerful feature allows the analyst to take snap shots of data and results to save them, or to add notes. These capabilities are very useful when the data is showing new insights you might not have expected!
Another cool thing about Platfora’s Vizboards is the product’s ability to share and secure visualizations, thus making it the perfect team tool. Teams can collaborate by sharing data already loaded in-memory and leveraging work already done. Sharing Vizboards is easy, and securing them is both simple and comprehensive. The product’s security approach provides Data Level Security, User-Created Object-Level Security, and System-Level Security.
One of Platfora’s outspoken clients is Edmunds.com, the automotive research site. As data volume and variety grew because of their popular mobile application, they utilized Hadoop to store data more economically and Vizboards to integrate that data for more agility. With Platfora, the number of employees able to leverage this data grew from 5 to 50 overnight. As is often the case with big data, new information arrives all the time. The Edmunds.com team is now able to put any new information to use in hours as opposed to months.

Abstract:Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE)–associated mutations in MUNC18-1 cause Munc18-1 misfolding and cellular aggregation. In this issue, Chai et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512016) find that Munc18-1 is a molecular chaperone for α-synuclein and that aggregated Munc18-1 EIEE-causing mutants promote α-synuclein aggregation.

When you use USB devices in Windows, Windows will load and install a device driver to communicate with the new USB device. A lot of standard USB device drivers are included with Windows XP, even more in Vista, Windows 7 and 8. But if the USB device is not supported by Windows, you will see a USB device not recognized error like the one below.
You can try unplugging the USB device, waiting a few seconds and plugging it back, but chances are the error will remain.
Another error message that is common is the message Unrecognized device has been found.
When you open the Windows Device Manager from the Control Panel, you will generally see the USB device under the Other devices or Unknown devices category.
In case of an external hard disk, you may also get the error:
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
Also keep in mind that if you don’t have the right USB drivers for your device, Windows might be using a default, compatible driver, which restricts the performance or limits the features of your USB device. This is particularly true for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports.
How to fix a USB device not recognized error.
Considering the fact that in most cases the USB device driver is missing in Windows, the common solution to fixing the USB device not recognized error is to install the driver for the USB device. In most cases new USB devices come with a driver CD which contains the USB driver that needs to be installed. If you do not have a driver CD, you can try to find and download the USB device driver on the manufacturer’s website.
In case you really can not find the device driver for the USB device, you can use a driver finder program. Such a program will find and download device drivers on your PC based on the hardware that it automatically identifies. Even if your USB device is not plugged anymore, the application will be able to find and download a USB driver for it.
When you do have a driver CD, it’s still smart to use a driver update program to get an updated driver for your USB device. Drivers on CDs are quite often outdated and updated drivers can solve problems, improve performance and add features.
A second benefit to a driver finder program is that it can update all outdated drivers on your system. This means that the system or chipset drivers will also be updated, including the USB chipset drivers on your motherboard. This could also solve the USB device not recognized error, whether it is a USB 2.0 port or USB 3.0 port.
Other methods to repair the USB device not recognized error
In case the USB driver update does not solve the USB device not recognized error, there are a few other things that you can try to solve the error.
- If your USB device is using a separate USB cable, try changing the cable to make sure the USB cable is not defective. For external hard disks that are not recognized, a shorter USB cable can sometimes help as the power voltage can be a problem in those cases.
- If you are getting a USB not recognized error when you are trying to connect a mobile phone or MP3 player, check the configuration options on the device itself. The settings often allow the device to be configured as a Mass Storage Device, which can solve the problem.
- Check the BIOS of your computer to make sure the USB ports are configured properly. Most new USB devices work best with the USB 2.0 configuration, but in some cases you might need to change the USB to “legacy” support, which means version 1.1.
- Disable the power management of USB hubs on your computer. This can sometimes help with certain USB devices, especially if the problem happens with power state changes (resume from hibernation for example).
- In the Device Manager, right-click the Universal Serial Bus controllers device and select Uninstall in the popup menu. Now reboot and Windows will reinstall the device.
- In case you are using a USB hub, try plugging the USB device directly into the computer instead of in the USB hub. USB hubs often cause compatibility problems with certain USB devices. The cause can be the USB version compatibility or a USB power limitation.
- Try shutting down the computer altogether and unplug it from the power supply. Wait for a few minutes before plugging it back again and starting it. In case you are using a laptop, also unplug the laptop battery in this step.
- Delete the related registry key under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB” from the Windows registry. Each USB device has an entry there starting with “VID_”. Find the related entry to your USB device and then delete it. Make sure you make a backup of the registry before deleting anything!
Restart Windows and then try plugging the USB device again.
- Specifically for Windows XP, there is another possible solution that is related to the Windows Registry. This pertains to removing the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values. Microsoft has a knowledge base article on how to do this.
Further useful programs to deal with USB problems are USBDeview, which is a freeware utility to view USB devices, and USB View from Microsoft. They show a lot more about your USB devices than the Device Manager does, so they can be helpful to pinpoint problematic USB devices. The USB View program from Microsoft has the advantage that it shows the hierarchy, so you can see which device is connected to which USB Controller and USB Hub. But the program is part of the Microsoft development tools, so unless you can find a reliable individual download, you need to install complete development environment.
Most USB device not recognized errors can be solved with one of the above solutions. If you have any other solutions, or a USB problem that did not get solved using these tips, please leave a comment and I’ll get right on it!
When you are running Windows 8 or 8.1 on an older system, or laptop and it is using an Intel graphics chipset, you might run into an issue with a low screen resolution error. The Metro interface requires a display resolution of 1024 x 768, but that is not always supported by the available display driver on this type of systems.
Typically you can get this on systems with a Intel GMA 3150 or even an Intel 945 series chipset. The driver will only support the 1024 x 600, which will result in an error message stating “This app cannot open” and/or “The screen resolution is too low for this app to run”.
There is a work around available that can work for this problem. It means installing the latest Intel driver for the graphics chipset (pick the latest Windows 7 driver if Windows 8 is not mentioned). Once installed, reboot to make sure everything is working.
After that you need to edit the registry to force the resolution to be changed. So first make a backup of the registry so you can revert back to that in case of problems!
After making the backup, open the registry editor (search for “regedit”), and press Ctrl+F to initiate a search of the registry. You need to search for the term “Display1_DownScalingSupported” and change the value from 0 to 1. After that, close the registry editor and reboot the computer.
The last step is to actually change the screen resolution from the Control Panel and set it to 1078 x 768. After that the apps using the Metro interface should work fine.
In case of problems, just reboot and press F8. Then select the Advanced Repair Options to start Windows in Safe Mode and restore the registry to the original settings. Then reboot and the screen should be fine again (although without the support for the 1078 x 768 resolution).
People with Windows based computers sooner or later start wishing that their computer was as fast as when they bought it. With use Windows tends to get a bit slower every day.
Most of this is the result of installing and uninstalling software, which leads to hard disk fragmentation and the registry growing. Fact is that not all software has a clean uninstall, so remnants will remain both on disk and in the Windows registry. In addition, more and more software try to install startup components, which will slow up the PC startup time.
Running a disk cleanup on a regular basis will help, and if you also schedule a disk defrag, you will already benefit from better PC speed. Taking it a step further to reduce the number of startup programs, and cleaning the Windows registry, will also optimize PC performance.
FreePCCleaner is a software program that can be used on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 based computers to optimize the performance by cleaning and defragmenting the registry. There is also a feature to manage the startup programs.
Using the program is very simple. After installation, you click the scan button and wait for the registry to be analyzed. Depending on the size of the registry and the computer speed, the scan can take a minute. But once the result is available, the software automatically creates a backup of the registry, and you can repair the errors found, which includes all cleanup.
The Manage Startup feature allows you to see which programs all run at startup, which is more than only those in the All Progams -> Startup folder. A simple checkbox enables you to disable any program that you do not want to start automatically.
Another useful feature is found in the Settings, and is a scheduler, that enables you to automatically run the program at predefined intervals. This way you don’t forget to manually run FreePCCleaner.
Although Windows Media Player has improved over the years, the best solution for media playback on Windows is still VLC in our opinion. The support for almost all audio and video formats is a great benefit, but it is also simple and straightforward to use.
But if you are using VLC on a slower computer, maybe a Windows XP based system for example, you might face some performance problems with video playback. Especially large resolution videos requiring lots of processing can cause delays or rendering problems.
It is however possible to tweak the VLC player a bit to ensure it will get all possible CPU resources when playing a video file. The general problem with multitasking operation system (like Windows), is that the CPU is shared amongst tasks, so a single process will never get all the CPU time.
VLC has a setting that allows the user to increase the priority and as a result get more CPU time. This can help in playing the movie that just won’t play properly on your computer!
To change the VLC setting for increased performance, open the player, and in the Tools menu, select Preferences (or press Ctrl+P). This will bring up the Simple Preferences window.
In the bottom left of the window, you need to select the All option for the Show settings feature.
This will change the thumbnail view on the left to a list view with more options.
In the list, you need to select the Advanced option, and check the option named Increase the priority of the process.
Although you can experiment with the Clock source option, generally the Auto setting will already do the trick.
Click Save to store the settings and then play your media file again!.
Note: Be prepared that the responsiveness of Windows and other applications will be a lot slower (although you should not run those in the first place when dealing with performance issues).
My PC crashed the other day. I know, BUMMER! After re-installing everything, I noticed that in Outlook 2010, I was not seeing the REPLY mark or icon that marks emails I’ve replied to. You know, that little purple arrow pointing to the left that tells me that I’ve already addressed a particular message.
If you receive a lot of emails like me on a daily basis, then you know how that that little arrow helps save you a lot of time because then you don’t need to second guess yourself if something has been addressed or not!
Anyway, on to our solution!
How to Mark Emails as ‘Replied’ in Outlook 2010
- Open Outlook 2010.
- Click the View tab.
- In the Arrangement group, click Add Columns.
- Under Available Columns, click Icon and then click Add.
- Click the Move Up or Move Down buttons to position the Icon where you want it.
- Click OK.
We all know that using battery powered equipment has the disadvantage of the device running out of power. In the case of laptops running Windows, you can use the power management options to optimize the use of the battery by allowing the hard disk to be powered down and running the CPU at lower speeds.
But of course there are more options to maximize the use of your laptop’s battery. The more programs are running, the more the CPU is active. So disabling Windows features and services can further help to optimize the use of the battery.
A useful program for this is called BatteryCare, which is free and can be downloaded from the BatteryCare.net website. It goes much further than the Windows power management options. You can see in the options that there are quite a few additional features to save energy.
Most will cause no problems, but the option to disable the Windows services is something that needs to be tested, as it could conflict with specific software that you might be using.
If you use the option to let BatteryCare control the power plans defined in Windows, you can disable the Windows battery icon in the notification area. Everything is accessible from the BatteryCare icon in that case anyway.
BatteryCare also keeps track of the recharging cycles and will recommend a calibration after a defined number of cycles. This will help the battery indicator to be as accurate as possible, preventing you to be surprised by a low battery situation. Of course there are warning and notifications that can be configured, but if the basis for those notifications is incorrect information, the notifications come too late.
For more information on battery optimization make sure to also look at our previous article on maximizing battery life.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze coupling methods for High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor-Pebble bed Module (HTR-PM) primary circuit, including reactor core, steam generator, and other components. Each component has individual characteristics and is simulated by an independent code package. A feasible way to integrate these independent codes is by using Picard iteration. In practice, the primary circuit is divided into multiple parts based on physical fields or spatial domains. Another coupling method is Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK), which is frequently applied for the simulation of coupled multi-physics systems due to its efficiency and capability for large-scale nonlinear problems. To demonstrate the efficiency of coupling method for tightly coupled primary circuit systems, several Picard and JFNK methods were compared consistently in this paper, where all the models, equations and codes for each method are the same. Especially for neutronics, we use the same additional equation for JFNK as the outer iteration step in power iteration. Results show that the equations in the reactor core and outside the reactor core should be solved simultaneously in Picard iteration, otherwise additional thermal-hydraulics iterations are necessary. JFNK methods have shown better convergence behavior than Picard iteration, especially for computational efficiency. Since the nonlinear residual is evaluated directly from nonlinear equation set without iteration, linear preconditioned JFNK has shown efficient convergence, which is recommended by the authors as the first choice for HTR-PM primary circuit if the linear preconditioned JFNK is applicable and the well-performing preconditioner is available. However, for utilizing physical iteration processes, nonlinear preconditioned JFNK is a practical choice when integrating legacy codes.

My interests lie in astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics. I concentrate on the highly nonlinear, turbulent flow regimes, using high resolution numerical simulations for such studies. In particular, my research is currently focused on dynamos, where turbulence in an electrically-conducting fluid creates and maintains strong magnetic field, with a particular view to understanding the origin of magnetic activity of our Sun.

Elliott Campbell has already received nationwide attention for a recent study concluding that the United States could meet up to 6 percent of its energy needs with biofuels produced on “marginal” ag land.
“It’s been suggested that biofuels production on prime agricultural land could accelerate global climate change,” Campbell explained. “We looked at what we call marginal land – for example, farmlands in the Eastern U.S. that were abandoned as the center of agriculture shifted west.”
The laboratory of Dr. Manel Camps uses molecular genetic and computational approaches to study the biological consequences of random changes in genetic information mutations) that occur spontaneously or as a result of environmental insults. They couple the generation of random mutant libraries with specific selections or screens to study the functional impact of point mutations and to establish how genes evolve in response to selective pressure.
