According to an announcement released by SmarTire Systems Inc., they have just recently filed an application for a patent in the country. Their patent would be for the external valve sensor which can be actually used in the previously mentioned tire pressure monitoring system.
He even further adds, "SmarTire's external valve sensors will reduce the installation costs of tire pressure monitoring systems and enable faster implementation for large fleets during retrofit in the aftermarket. Although our current products are well received at the OEM level and in fleet trials, market research indicated that a percentage of the commercial vehicle market would be slower to adopt tire pressure monitoring systems without this complimentary solution." The company does say that this new invention of theirs would actually be able to help those commercial drivers be able to make productive use of their time. And for those who are interested in this product, you would do have to wait up until the second quarter of next year for this is when they would be entering the market for sale.
On behalf of the company, Warkentin does conclude, "We are pleased to be the first to introduce this technological milestone. It is the result of extensive industry collaboration and product development that builds on our existing technology. Adding this to our patent portfolio is in line with our goal to build and protect the intellectual property that forms the basis for our products. Patent production will help us maintain and extend our dominance in this market."

Career In Auto Body Repair Technology
If you have traveled on the highway, you might have come across accidents involving two or more vehicles that have collided with each other. Such vehicles are either disposed of as scrap or sent for repairs, depending on the extent of damage caused by the crash. An automobile body repairer's job is to work on damaged cars, make modifications to improve appearance and lend it an entirely new look.Additionally, the technicians are expected to lay efforts on constant updating of their skills as new vehicles are introduced.which though a voluntary program is considered as a standard of achievement for automotive body repairers. The institute conducts four tests, twice a year. A work experience of two years is an essential criterion to qualify for the test. Other jobs include fixing of large dents using anvils, heating of plastic to attach it back to the car, and the filing and grinding of machines to lend it a desired shape. After gaining a few years of experience, some auto body repairers also take up management jobs that involve tasks such as supervising technicians, purchasing of supplies, hiring, keeping track of income, expenses, and payment of bills.It is advisable for them to spend personal time reading technical manuals, and attending seminars and classes. a repairer should be able to understand diagrams so that the correct positioning of a certain part can be measured with respect to the other parts. New repairers are expected to fix dents and other minor problems, after which they start working on more complex problems such as straightening and realignment of body parts.

The 'Chick Car' Pulls More Testosterone
Chick car' - that was the coined name for Mazda MX-5 Miata. The term means a car intended for women. Another reason is that most Miata owners are women. However, the most doable reason is the car's grace, style and sophistication. These factors are the reasons why Miata made it big in the auto industry. The third generation of Miata was produced last year.
The 4-wheel double wishbone setup of the suspension is altered to pave way for a more powerful front wishbone/rear multilink setup. To improve driveabiity, traction and stability controls were added.For the United States and Australia, the engine used by Miata was the new 16-valve, 2.0-litre MZR I4, generating 170 horsepower and 140 ft*lbf of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission for better car performance. For Europe Miatas, the automaker offered 2 engines - 2.0-litre MZR that produces 160 horsepower and 188 N*m of torque; and a new 1.8 MZR, generating 126 horsepower and 167 N*m, torque.it is deemed a 'wow factor' of Miata. It only takes 11 seconds to operate the retractable hardtop and it does not seize too much trunk space so loading capabilities of the car is not compromised.

Mazda Heats Up Diesel 3
Mazda is warming to the diesel cause with a 143bhp version of its 3 or Axela hatchback, which will be introduced on February. The Mazda 3's 130mph variant is designed to boost performance of the vehicle so as to compete tightly in the segment where Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 307 rule.next year will mark a significant milestone for diesel family hatchbacks. There is an expected general move of the automakers in connection with the matter. As a fact, a 175bhp Renaultsport Mégane and a 180hp derv version of the Corolla-replacing Toyota Auris are on their way to etch their respective milestones in diesel technology.At present, the oil-burners of Mazda 3 are relatively mild-mannered at 90hp and 108bhp 1.6-litre versions.Mazda is proving it is still hot on the wheels. With the introduction of CX-7 and CX-9 crossovers at the 2006 New York International Auto Show, Mazda is positive that a bountiful auto market share can be had.
With the stigma attached to the Cougar Ace misfortune, the automaker has to be more cautious about shipping vehicles. Recently, Mazda has shipped their first batch of brand new Mazda CX-9 crossovers from Hiroshima to North America. The vehicles are aboard Coral Leader car carrier. Said crossovers are expected to reach the United States before January next year.

Honda Unveils Latest ASIMO Robot at LA's Consumer Electronics Show
The new ASIMO has been upgraded and was given a streamlined of new design. The primary advancements of the newest ASIMO include: Enhanced human Interaction- By providing ASIMO with the ability to recognize the surrounding environment through its visual sensors, floor surface sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and by an IC Tele-interaction Communication Card1, ASIMO can more autonomously interact with people. Through the coordinated use of its eye cameras in the head and the force (kinesthetic) sensors on its wrists, ASIMO can give and receive an object such as a tray. And by using these force sensors, ASIMO can hold the hand of the person and move in sync with them. Carrying objects using a cart- ASIMO is now capable of handling a cart freely while maintaining an appropriate distance from the cart by adjusting the force of its right and left arms to push a cart using the force sensors on its wrists. Even when the movement of the cart is disturbed, ASIMO can continue maneuvering by taking flexible actions such as slowing down or changing directions.Honda's ASIMO is now more agile and is capable of quick movements - such as running nearly 4mph. Aside from the ability to run, the humanoid robot was also provided with artificial intelligence capabilities to further enhance human interaction.

Nazi-era Race Car For Auction
The silver D-Type from Auto Union, Audi's forerunner, will eventually be auctioned on February 17 in Paris as part of Christie's Retromobile auto sale. The race car is estimated to be worth millions of dollars and it is expected to fetch around $12 million to $15 million." Over 20 Auto Union series cars were manufactured between 1933 and 1939. The D-Type, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, has a body shape likened to an airplane fuselage. The driver sits sunken into the body of the metal, and the wheels. The latter appears like oversized bicycle tires having independent suspension."It took really until the early 1960s and later on to the 1980s for car design to catch up to these cars." Just before World War II, the D-Type won the 1939 French Grand Prix. The car, also called the Silver Arrow, was filmed winding through country roads for use in newsreels across Europe. "They vanished, lost behind the Iron Curtain," Erdmann added. Automakers of today are improving their line from race cars like the D-Type. Christie's said, "While Adolph Hitler gave about 500,000 reichsmarks to Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz to promote racing and technology, the car is not specifically affiliated with the Third Reich. After the historic war, the Russians discovered the cars and took them to their own country, along with dismantled Auto Union factories, to re-create motorsports. The cars were taken apart.
An American car collector came across car parts in a scrap heap in Ukraine and took them back to England. There, Crosthwaite & Gardiner's auto experts restored it. Christie's did not divulge who is selling it.

Auto Shop Safety
In today's auto shop there are many potential hazards to the fragile human body. In order to have a safe and productive work environment, there are simple steps that need to be taken in order to insure the physical safety of everyone in your automotive service shop. There are many tools and pieces of equipment in use that can potentially seriously injure someone. The first step is to take census of your auto or mechanical shop and locate machinery and tools that can be potentially hazardous. Any machine or tool that can cause a serious injury must be safeguarded. For example, a band saw is common tool in a mechanical shop and has the ability to cut off fingers and limbs. Safety cannot be sacrificed for convenience. But remember machinery is not the only hazard, you need to be aware of in the shop. The power cords and air hoses that power equipment also presents a tripping hazard.There are similar devices for extension cords as well. Lets face it, a mechanic is much more inclined to keep his air hoses and power cords retracted if its easy and an air hose reel makes it easy. Also, spilled grease oil and oil can collect on a shop floor and produce a slipping hazard. It is inevitable that motor oil and grease will end up on the concrete floor.Most mechanics wear gloves to prevent burns and cutting while working on automobile. But gloves are also needed for a variety of other tasks as well. Do not handle chemicals and solvents with out wearing gloves and remember to remove watches and other jewelry as well. Always be aware of where you fingers are especially when lifting heavy objects. It may seem obvious but it is all too common to crush your fingers by letting a heavy object down on them. Mechanics gloves are a great choice when you need to work with small parts and tools. Mechanics gloves are light and tight fitting on your hand. This allows you to feel the parts and tools and still maintain protection. Most auto shops have containment spill kits that can contain the oil spill and aid in cleaning it up the minute it happens. Many auto shops have several air hoses and power cords stretched all over the place and most of them are not even being used at the moment.

Engine Overheating? Problem is Solved with the Toyota Thermostat!
A Toyota Thermostat must be installed so that the engine temperature can be maintained in a functional level. The thermostat is part of the cooling system of the vehicle and without it, the coolant will not be able to flow into the cavity of the engine block and the temperature of the engine will continue to go up until such a time when the cylinder head will crack, rendering the entire engine useless.The cooling system should be in tip top condition to avoid the overheating of the engine and its very important parts. Overheating causes the engine and its parts to expand, creating difficulty in sliding and causing the failure to generate power.
This can only be done if the cooling system will not send coolant during the warm up to keep it from interfering in the heating of the engine the moment it is started. However, once the engine is heated up, the cooling system must start to deliver coolant into it. Because of the presence of the Toyota Thermostat, the proper regulation is done. While the engine is cool, the thermostat closes the valve so that no coolant will enter the engine's body.If it is already melted, then it is able to push a rod to open the valve and let the coolant flow into the engine. When the coolant is already in the engine's body, the temperature will then be maintained. After the coolant has absorbed heat, it will proceed to the radiator where the heat will be dissipated through the radiator fins. Sometimes, the Toyota Thermostat may also break down and this will have two possible outcomes.
If it is clogged shut, the engine will constantly overheat because no coolant will flow into the engine's body. Either way, it is detrimental to the engine and to the entire automobile. Keeping the engine's temperature is the technique to avoid expensive engine damages such as melted seals and warped heads.

Ford Owners Introduction to Parts and Accessories
Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company envisioned a method that would allow factory workers to get higher wages while producing affordable automobiles en masse, thus allowing all its employees to eventually but the very products they just assembled. Ford has also entered into other ventures, acquiring other car brands to tap into the global markets, providing financial services like the Ford Motor Credit Company, which deals mainly with auto loans, as well as producing and distributing auto parts through its Motorcraft brand.This proved to be successful during the birth of the Ford in 1903 and the crucial years of its growth, using methods such as the first moving assembly line, which cut car production dramatically, and providing the blue print for the 40 hour work week and minimum wage law in the United States.Although Motorcraft's inventory comes with all the necessary components, such as oil filters, spark plugs and the like, it has little in the way of customizing the exterior of Ford's various automotive models. Outside of the usual racing upgrades for the sports car, body paint and replacement or addition of non-horsepower related parts are not unheard of. Replacing Ford Mustang tail light covers to look more Euro (while it may be considered blasphemous due to the Mustang's as a symbol of American engineering) are just one of the few ways to go about customizing the legendary pony car.With the sudden rise of customization amongst classic and modern automobiles thanks to the hobby gaining prominence in popular culture (movies like the Fast and the Furious and TV shows like MTV's Pimp My Ride ), other companies have popped up to contend with Ford's Motorcraft not only in offering interior car parts such as engine related parts and electronic gadgets, but aesthetic aftermarket components as well.

Influence auto insurance rates
The age of the driver. Young and old drivers need to pay more insurance premiums as they are more likely to have accidents than middle aged drivers. In addition premium payable is determined by the car you drive. If you drive a sports car or any mean machine then your premium will hit the sky as compared to a sedan or compact car.Auto insurance companies compute risk by where a car owner resides.So speeding tickets, accidents, parking violations, and running red lights are all factors that can save you money.Most insurance companies consider an individual with a good credit history and score as a lower risk and offer lower premiums on auto insurance. The credit report reflects the fact that you are a responsible individual and are dependable. Those living in rural areas or suburbs pay lower insurance premiums than those who live in a city.safety features in a car; anti-theft devices; eco-friendly fuel use; use of car pools and public transport; exclusive use of vehicle only for personal use and so on.cost of parts, and sticker price of car. In case an individual updates his driving skills regularly and follows all safety norms and rules laid by the highway and road patrols then the insurers offer lowered premium rates.Lately if auto insurance is bought online the rates are much lower than when bought through an agent or office. And, different insurers base the premiums on auto insurance based on their experience so while one may consider the occupation of the individual a risk another may give more emphasis on whether the vehicle is used for commercial purposes.

Car Czar
The kind of PR pukes who might have suffocated this kind of rambling, off-the-wall public announcement did not make it to the Big Show with this Administration.
I should also point out that the president-elect doesn't even know me. A nimble, results-oriented Administration like O's has the smarts to hire political enemies when they're just plain the best candidates for the job;I not only get to watch where the money goes ... I get to say where the money goes. As in, hey ... this car's crap ... can it. That car was a bad idea in the first place. Make more of this car, but don't make it with a fake convertible top, and put some decent mag wheels on it. same goes for hiring loose cannons from out in the ether who fraudulently announce their appointments to the Administration on the internet.It's a lot of power for a guy who's in charge of looking after taxpayer money that's going to save the American automobile industry for up to 45 days.Same with girl Hummer drivers. You babes never looked as cool as you thought you looked running over stuff you couldn't see from up there, and everyone knew you were just pretending to be rapper's hos on fake equity from your fake suburban mansions (thanks for cratering our economy, BTW).Japanese and German supersedans are what the educated, discerning driver buys today in this category ... I get it. I also understand that the people who have abandoned domestic cars because of "reliability issues" are the same incompetent whiners whose cars are never "reliable" because they don't maintain them unless forced to by the regular dealer service intervals required by the prestige brands to maintain warranties.
I should also point out that the president-elect doesn't even know me. A nimble, results-oriented Administration like O's has the smarts to hire political enemies when they're just plain the best candidates for the job;I not only get to watch where the money goes ... I get to say where the money goes. As in, hey ... this car's crap ... can it. That car was a bad idea in the first place. Make more of this car, but don't make it with a fake convertible top, and put some decent mag wheels on it. same goes for hiring loose cannons from out in the ether who fraudulently announce their appointments to the Administration on the internet.It's a lot of power for a guy who's in charge of looking after taxpayer money that's going to save the American automobile industry for up to 45 days.Same with girl Hummer drivers. You babes never looked as cool as you thought you looked running over stuff you couldn't see from up there, and everyone knew you were just pretending to be rapper's hos on fake equity from your fake suburban mansions (thanks for cratering our economy, BTW).Japanese and German supersedans are what the educated, discerning driver buys today in this category ... I get it. I also understand that the people who have abandoned domestic cars because of "reliability issues" are the same incompetent whiners whose cars are never "reliable" because they don't maintain them unless forced to by the regular dealer service intervals required by the prestige brands to maintain warranties.
Buying Your Next Car
Year to date, sales are down by 15%, but that figure is much higher for some automakers, including Chrysler where sales have dropped by more than 25% this year. Bad news for the auto industry coupled with the calendar year coming to a close means one thing: passenger vehicle discounts have never been better, giving you an excellent chance to buy a new car for a lot less money.but does that car live up to its hype? For an objective look at what experts say about the vehicle you like, make sure you acquaint yourself with reviews from The Truth About Cars, Consumer Reports, and other no holds barred publications.Take a look at what is being offered - low-cost financing, cash back, or a special lease deal - weigh each plan by learning which one is best for you.You'll determine the final price you pay for your car while reaping the benefits of all of the discounts being offered to you. But, if you're like the majority of drivers, you cannot afford to pay cash. Instead, you can arrange your own financing before you set foot in a dealer's showroom.Also ask about military discounts, new grad rebates, and other offers available on top of already great savings.Consider buying a car that comes with a comprehensive warranty, forgoing the dealer warranty plan that can set you back an additional $500 to $1500 or more.

Car Salvage Auctions - Bargain Cars or Not?
The company attempts to recover some of its money by selling the vehicles, usually at salvage auction through an insurance salvage auction company.
The dealer's insurance company decided to declare all of the cars as total losses and paid the dealer. The insurance company then became the owner of the cars, some with major water damage and some with almost no damage. The company will sell the cars at auction with salvage titles. Smart buyers can pick up the cars, often at bargain prices, and repair them to resell or drive as their personal cars.
he insurance company paid the customer the cash value of the car. A few months later, the car was recovered, in good shape, and the thief was arrested. However, the car, with a salvage title, now belonged to the insurance company who now wanted to recover some of its money by selling the vehicle at salvage auction, or to a broker who would then resell the car.buy totaled and recovered-theft vehicles from insurance companies and auctions them to rebuilders, used-car dealers, parts dealers, and the public. Most of the vehicles are total-loss vehicles, meaning it would cost insurance companies more to repair them than to sell for salvage. Others are vehicles that were stolen but recovered after the insurer had settled the claim.
Insurance auctions and salvage vehicle auctions are held almost every day at various locations around the country. National companies such as IAA, ADESA, and Salvage Direct conduct the auctions at auction sites that are typically located in or near large cities. Many auction companies are local or regional, such as Auto Salvage Auctions, Inc, in Michigan and Midway Auto Salvage Auctions in Arkansas and Mississippi.
