3D Printed Turbine Blades a 'Breakthrough', Says Siemens

SIEMENS MADE THE HEADLINES WITH 3D-PRINTED TURBINE BLADES

The world is full of competitors and the tech companies have taken it to another level. We always witness a tussle among the top-rated companies and we are the ones who get the advantage of being a common man. Due to the advanced technologies prevailing in this world, we have been able to lead a more comfortable life. Once we start getting things easily, we don’t really care from where it is coming and how it is happening.

We just enjoy the flow without knowing the nitty gritty. Well, the tech companies are always on the run to develop new gadgets and design something new for the betterment for the lives. Recently, the company Siemen have made a breakthrough in terms of the printing technology by challenging the 3D printed turbine blades.

THE BLADES

The German pioneer Engineering group Siemens has gone ahead and made a breakthrough by testing the 3D printed turbine blades. The technology of the 3D printing is new and it was purchased by them from Material solutions. The 3D printed turbine blades make revolutions of 13000 per minute and that too when the temperature is more than 1250 Celsius. This is certainly incredible. The mechanism has made really breakthrough. The 3D printed turbine blades have a weight more than 180 gm but when the blade rotates it weighs more than 11 tonnes with speed.

THE FACTS

Additive manufacturing is another term of 3D printing. This takes into consideration of adding extra thin layers of materials one after the other. The 3D printed turbine blades were made from a special technology of 3D printing which includes the impact of cooling geometry. A special type of powder made from metals is placed over the layer and the rest is done by the laser.

The parts can be designed and printed using the Auto Cad software which is in high demand for the designing purposes. The fact that is not still clear is that the time duration that the 3D printed turbine blades will take to roll into the market and become available for the common multitude. However, the testing duration is a bit more.

Once it becomes available for the market, it would gain a huge popularity. The scientists are trying their best to bring this into the commercial market. The tests are going on and also they need to check the durability of the material so that once it is rolled into the market, it does not create any sort of mess. The 3D printed turbine blades should be hard and durable in order to make and impact among the other competitors of the turbine blade dealers.

THE MATERIAL

The material is processed by using the process of casting. Well, it is one of the best technology in order to process such kinds of materials. But one thing that will annoy you is the time required for the completing the process. The time can be shortened by using additive manufacturing. The time is cut down to 3 months.

Thunderbolt Goes Royalty-Free as Intel Repositions It to Boost Adoption

Thunderbolt is a very fresh concept for many people who still associate themselves with the latest trend of technology other than addressing the fact that it is a standardized mode to connect devices. This is the general conception for past few years. The standard of the thunderbolt was upgraded to usher in; a new era of devices that would lead to high-speed interconnectivity, but this facility is restricted only to some renowned Mac users other than being circulated for every product manufacturer in the market.

Many years ago, Intel brought in this notion of support system involving thunderbolt with the USB-C level which would help in mending a systems potentiality, which would in turn enhance the system’s compatibility with the latest and giant USB standard clubbed with a reversible plug support and simultaneously gripping the upgraded bandwith of Thunderbolt 3 i.e. 40Gbit/s.

Intel is on the verge of taking a step further by upgrading the standard of Thunderbolt 3 in terms of making it free of royalty, in order to grasp the attention from the uptaking manufacturers. Intel has incorporated two more enticing elements for the development of Thunderbolt 3. First, Intel will enhance it, so that it could be fed in the upcoming series of CPUs, more like a version of the on-die I/O capability. In this regard the technology would be used to extend further technical features like VR, which has the capability to use the bandwith of Thunderbolt 3, in order to pitch speeds pertaining to high transmission. Intel has not yet revealed anything regarding Thunderbolt 4, but if we consider the fact that any upcoming level of development would incorporate PVle 4.0, then we can expect to see the most reliable platforms coming up in near future which would support Intel’s protocol venturing out as the upcoming generation.

The most striking aspect of Intel’s Thunderbolt 3 version is that it is not fed in to the system as a modern chipset or CPU. Inspite of announcing this several years ago Intel has not yet fed this standardized technology into any laptop or Desktop CPUs, rather Intel is relied on the equipments brought by the consumers using expensive and remunerating controllers, which includes Alpine Ridge.

Thus, it is still difficult to locate Thunderbolt 3 on several devices, it is not at all easy and reasonable. This technology is sure to show its gripping effect in the near future with no barriers regarding royalty. Intel is on the way towards changing their royalty issues and if it happens then the latest specifications of Thunderbolt 3 would be opened to several other companies which intend to build hardware as well, this would mean that all the third-party organization would now be able to stylize their respective Thunderbolt standards of compliant, firms like AMD falls under this regard. This kind of compatibility has led to innovative performance in the competing industrial market. The more innovation towards USB-C will ensure standardized single port to the customers.

Facebook Files Patent Application for Payment Services Via Messages

The Facebook Inc, a social media giant, which allows its users to connect worldwide by sharing and discovering photos, ideas, videos, files a patent application for digital payment through a messaging application with Indian Patent Office.

This comes at an appropriate time when the Government of India is encouraging digital transaction to accommodate more and more people. There is a huge upsurge noticed in the usage of e wallet after demonetization as around eighty percent of Indian citizens use internet and mobile phones with a rapid increase in the numbers.

Facebook currently allows online payment services through its Messenger application in countries like US. It also owns Whatsapp, which has a huge market in India. According to the company, it will outline a messenger application system which would allow the users to make payment by their credit or debit cards, bank accounts etc. and send it as well as receive payments through this system.

It further clarifies that a client having the application will be able to receive information about the payment through messages like the amount or the method of transaction. If this patent is passed, then it will come to the rescue of the users as people will not have to visit other applications to sending or receiving any kind of electronic payment which will help to form a large base for electronic transactions as it will not confuse people about the complexity of switching apps and will provide a single platform for business.

Another positive side to this proposal is the user will be free to choose whether to accept any kind of payment or not. In other words, a user will be able to deny any kind of transaction if the other person is devoid of the application. It also has the option of paying several people together or in several groups where each amount received by each member can be defined, hence proving to be helpful in business transactions between business groups and business entities.

Facebook presently purveys this method of digital payment in some countries through Messenger, a separate application made out from its parent application Facebook. People just need to add their respective cards which in turn to provide more security creates a pin. If the respective recipient has no debit card, that person has the freedom to decline.

However, there are both advantages and disadvantages of this method of cashless payment in a country where still cash is the king. India serving to be the second largest growing market with millions of users can prove to be pivotal part in the cashless business where these social media apps operating worldwide would take full advantage of the current situation of the country regarding the digitalization.
