Harvesting energy through Car Paint

Mercedes-Benz has come out with a concept car that will generate energy through its body paint. This concept car by Mercedes-Benz named as Vision G-Code doubles up as a solar panel. The Vision G-Code capture energy from solar rays using his multi-voltaic silver paint to power his hybrid engine. The paint can also be charged electrostatically by the wind when moving or stationary. Kinetic energy created by the suspension will also generate electricity as well.

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

Startup builds AI to automate accounting

Smacc , which uses AI to automate accounting, has secured a 3.5 million Series A round from Cherry Ventures, Rocket Internet, Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures, Grazia Equity and business angels. Smacc offers small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to digitize and automate accounting and financial processes. The founding trio Uli Erxleben, Janosch Novak and Stefan Korsch came up with the idea after find accounting to be the most painful part of their own startup. Erxleben managed Rocket Internet’s US ventures in New York and San Francisco, and is also the founder of Berliner Berg , a craft beer startup. Customers submit their receipts to Smacc, which are turned into a machine-readable format, encrypted, then allocated to an account. The platform gradually also self-learns, tracking invoices, sales and costs, as well as their liquidity. The system checks against some 64 data points, verifies the invoice, checking, for example, that the math adds up, and even if the VAT...

Elon Musk to send his Dragon spacecraft on Mars by 2018

SpaceX chief Elon Musk shed light on his new plan to send an unmanned spaceship to Mars as early as 2018, as part of his quest to some day colonize the Red Planet. He appeared to be referring to an upgraded version of the California-based company's Dragon cargo capsule, which is currently used as an unmanned spacecraft to shuttle food and supplies to and from the International Space Station. In a new exclusive this week with The Washington Post, the entrepeneur drew parallels between people crossing the oceans in centuries past to unknown worlds. The months-long journey is sure to be "hard, risky, dangerous, difficult," Musk told the Post, but he was confident people would sign up to go because "just as with the establishment of the English colonies, there are people who love that. They want to be the pioneers." Before that can happen, however, unmanned travel and a supply chain must be developed successfully. "Essentially what we're saying is we...
