Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced it has achieved a significant milestone in transceiver technology by becoming the first company to successfully demonstrate 25-Gbps transceiver performance in programmable logic. Altera achieved this milestone in its 28-nm transceiver test chip, a prototyping platform that Altera is using to succeassfully deploy 28-Gbps transceivers on 28-nm FPGAs. Reaching the 25-Gbps milestone more than doubles the transceiver performance in currently available FPGA solutions, and rivals or exceeds the abilities of competitive ASSP offerings.

Schockierende Ergebnisse beim aktuellen ADAC Werkstatt-Test: 78 Prozent der getesteten freien Werkstätten sind glatt durchgefallen - 28 von 36 untersuchten Betrieben haben die Bewertung „mangelhaft“ erhalten. Bei den Werkstatt-Ketten (A.T.U, Bosch, Meisterhaft und 1a Autoservice) sieht das Bild nur unwesentlich besser aus – hier fielen 17 von 36 Betrieben durch (47 Prozent). Des Weiteren zeigt der Test deutlich, dass die Freien bei der Inspektion nicht günstiger sind als die Ketten. Insgesamt enttäuschend bei dieser Stichprobe des ADAC: Von allen getesteten 72 Betrieben (Freie und Werkstatt-Ketten) erhielten gerade einmal sechs die Wertung „sehr gut“ (8 Prozent). Testgewinner bei den Ketten ist ein A.T.U-Betrieb in Hamburg (Heidhorst 3). Positiv: Keine einzige A.T.U-Werkstatt erhielt die Note mangelhaft. Den Testern des ADAC fiel bei A.T.U zudem auf, dass bei der Inspektionsannahme offen und realistisch über die voraussichtlichen Kosten gesprochen wird. Sechs der neun getesteten A.T.U-Service-Unternehmen fanden alle vom ADAC vorbereiteten Mängel. Bei den Bosch-Werkstätten fielen drei Betriebe durch, bei „1a“ sechs und bei Meisterhaft acht. Von allen freien Werkstätten hat Riegelhof Karosseriebau in Frankfurt/Main am besten abgeschnitten.Der Club hat die Werkstätten mit Fahrzeugen der Modelle Audi A3, Renault Megane und VW Golf 5 getestet. Vor der Prüfung wurden die Autos mit Mängeln präpariert: Ein verstelltes Scheinwerferlicht, eine defekte Kofferraumleuchte, ein ausgehängtes ABS-Kabel, ein zu niedriger Kühlmittelstand sowie ein Ersatzrad mit zu wenig Reifendruck, fehlendes oder abgelaufenes Pannenset. Die Arbeitsleistung wurde mit höchstens 60 Punkten, der Service mit maximal 40 Punkten bewertet. Punktabzug gab es, wenn wesentliche Serviceleistungen fehlten oder Zusatzarbeiten ohne vorherigen Auftrag ausgeführt wurden. Fazit des ADAC: Auch im Werkstatt-Test 2013 arbeiteten viele Betriebe die Inspektionsliste nicht sorgfältig ab, da nicht alle versteckten Fehler gefunden wurden. Nachholbedarf gibt es auch beim Kundenservice. Deshalb rät der Club den Verbrauchern, den Wagen zusammen mit dem Serviceberater anzuschauen und den Wartungsauftrag schriftlich zu erteilen. So werden Missverständnisse weitgehend ausgeschlossen.
Famous for having the most beautiful countryside in China, Huangling village in China’s Jiangxi Province launched helicopter tours from March 11, 2016 offering visitors the opportunity of a bird’s eye view of the region’s beautiful spring rapeseed flower blossom.
Tours take off from Jiangwan Town airfield, about 28 kilometers from Huangling, fly by the village and over the magnificent flower terraces and Hui-style houses with their black roof tiles and white walls.
Surrounded by green mountains and steep cliffs, Huangling village was settled hundreds of years ago and is recognized as one of the most beautiful destinations in China. With its towering trees, stone paths, winding creeks and rich folk culture, the ancient village also retains the unique folk tradition of shaiqiu, or “crop drying in mid-air” as villagers sun-dry chili pepper and corn harvests around the houses throughout the year. This remarkable spectacle is a symbol of the Huangling culture.
