In Japan have grown up apples Apple

Japan, Apple

The Japanese fans of "apple" production have grown up apples with an image iPod and logo Apple on juicy pink flanks.

Brands-managers Apple can exult — the consumer have grown up advertising and initiated info-wave in the Network. Many brands about similar active love of the consumers need to dream and spend many millions for advertising and a brand-marketing only.

The technology of creation of agroproduction is simple — glue the necessary sticker on generated, but yet not ripened fruit, and wait while the sun will not make the industrial business. The method even has received the beautiful name "sun tatoo".

One more counter of the project — fans Apple used grade apples "Fuji". Precisely same name carries also one of the Japanese techno-brands, competing in any areas with Apple. Whether there was it a thin marketing course from consumers or is simple in a garden of the Japanese fans apple-trees only this grade grew, the English-speaking Network while holds back.

The car for inveterate gamers: Nissan 370Z

Nissan 370Z

If predecessor Nissan 350Z was the absolute macho new «Z» became more womanly, refined. However to say that is "female", instead of "male" and the more so to name 370Z historical Japanese name Fairlady I would not dare. And if to distract from a snake grin of a forward air inlet, vertical door handles and elaborate headlights-lanterns in the form of letter scraps «Z»... The Silhouette with a direct back — same Porsche!

New Nissan 370Z

In salon — spirit of ancestors in the form of the "motorcycle" panel of devices on a steering column, as well as at the predecessor 350Z. But all these details play, when salon, as at me, — orange. And if an interior it is ordinary black the attention is involved with the elements borrowed at Infiniti G37: the central console with the inclined keyboard, the large button of start of the engine and the compartment located at the left for the ignition key. Though is not present — the key at the left here is perceived by a hint any more on Infiniti, and again on Porsche.

— Improvement on all without an exception to parametres, let was our purpose and small, — Steave Robbins, the engineer of European technical centre Nissan explains the concept of creation of model 370Z.
— In salon now there are a glove compartment, a powerful cross-beam we have shifted from a luggage carrier forward, for seats …

At the heart of a compartment — modernised rear-wheel platform FM (front midship) from Infiniti G37 with the power unit "pushed" deep into to wheel base. In front — a classical two-lever, back suspension bracket — four-lever. Springs, shock-absorbers (firms Kayaba), sajlent-blocks of suspension brackets here are more rigid, but the main thing — wheel base on 300 mm is shorter (2,550 mm), than at Infiniti G37 (and on 100 mm, than at 350Z). And a track, on the contrary, more widely. As at the racing super-car!

— With such configuration 370Z copes not worse sports competitors, — Robbins assures.

Feel, where he drives?
Completely operated as at Infiniti, the chassis and a full drive designers at all did not take in calculation are superfluous weight and expenses. The body on third became more rigid («basically at the expense of more advanced computer modelling») and on the whole 102 kg it is easier — a cowl, a cover of a luggage carrier and external panels of doors now aluminium. And the car weight as a whole in comparison with model 350Z has decreased on 32 kg.

Nissan 370Z

The engine — atmospheric "six" VQ37VHR (3,7L, 331HP) — is known besides on Infiniti G37. But at the expense of smaller weight installed power per employee new a Z-car above — 220HP against 196HP at Infiniti and 183HP at 350Z.

And the main news is that European 370Z along with Japanese and American will be equipped at last with "automatic machine". Why not "mechanics"? Because to adapt a megapowerful box from supercar GT-R — it's unprofitable, and similar motor-car manufacturers have no another. By the way, absence of automatic transmission, on assurance of experts in marketing of autoconcern was the reason low model-predecessor sales...

But I have begun with "mechanics".
To get under way uneasy — coupling very hard, and the moment of contact of disks is not felt at all. The main highlight of mechanical transmission, actually, not in the mechanism, and in electronics — system Synchro Rev Control (SRC). You rush, for example, on the fifth transfer, you squeeze out coupling — and as soon as the lever literally on millimetre comes on "territory" of the third transfer (position gauges stand in the mechanism of switching and on a coupling pedal) motor turns jump up exactly so, it is how much necessary. So purely to be switched without SRC (it can be disconnected the button) at me it turned out every third, from force the second time. To deceive system, sharply pulling the lever or, on the contrary, stretching switchings, did not leave. Only to have fun: at the squeezed out coupling by the transmission lever it is possible to increase speed!

While I with the colleague searched near Paris though for any flight site, Nissan 370Z puzzled more likely, than pleased. On addition of gas the motor reacts quickly and precisely, and to dump — with an appreciable delay. The effort on hard and rather a sharp wheel changes adequately, but, for example, at a strong lateral wind is dim-drawn "zero" forces to search management in small corners. The suspension bracket rigid, constantly shakes, but to "be accustomed" to this rigidity it is not possible: on compartment dispersal considerably squats «on hinder legs», on braking — hardly is not sleepy.

As a result you feel the gamer: you want a high — full gas! Here only in game it is possible not to be afraid to "spread out" the car, and in a life... In a life not bad to take pleasure and in driving «in a half-pedal». But if any Porsche allows also it, Nissan 370Z — hardly.

4. Level amounts of works. To create correct economical manufacture and to achieve improvement of quality of service, it is necessary to level the manufacture schedule, not always strictly following an order of receipt of orders.
5. Stop manufacture if manufacture goes to a damage to quality.
6. Standard problems and delegation of powers to employees — a basis of continuous perfection.
7. Use the visual control that any problem did not remain not noticed.
8. Use only the reliable, tested technology. Toyota Cars For Sale — here the main slogan.
9. Bring up leaders who thoroughly know the business, profess philosophy of the company and can learn it others.
10. Bring up uncommon people and form the commands professing corporate philosophy.

5 questions on automobile GPS-navigation

GPS-receiver

1. What is GPS?

GPS is an abbreviation from English name Global Positioning System. Basic co-operating elements GPS is 24 space companions NavStar (are started and belong to the USA) and millions receivers on a surface of the Earth.
The system so works: the receiver catches a signal from 3 and more companions, measures time of a delay of passage of a signal from each of them and automatically counts the site — geographical co-ordinates: width, a longitude, and also height above sea level. These data the device processor correlates to a navigation chart loaded into memory of the device. Thanks to it the user sees the map image on which "point" is shown and moves on the display is he with the GPS-receiver.

2. What represent GPS-receivers what they happen?

It is group of electronic devices which are united only by one — presence of the special module for reception of a signal from companions. In a technical characteristics way GPS-devices can be very different. Depending on mission, GPS-navigators happen automobile, sea, aviation, portable tourist, professional geodetic. But, first of all, GPS-navigators are intended for informing of the motorist concerning a site on a district map, the such original Car Tips.

Exist also so-called. GPS-modules — the devices containing only the receiver, connected to the laptop or a handheld computer. Often GPS the module already regularly at factory is built in multimedia system of the car. Also it is necessary to mention electronics with the built in GPS-receiver: a handheld computer, laptops, cellular telephones, portable radio sets.

3. What accuracy of GPS-navigation?

The navigator as the manufacturer declares, defines a site to within 3-5 m. However very many here depends on number of companions which "see" the device and, besides, from navigation charts. The matter is that for civil use navigation charts in scale not more largely than 1:1000 are resolved...
However, such scale and accuracy of navigation are quite comprehensible to automobile travel, after all by the car go for many hundreds kilometres.

4. What price of GPS-navigators?

From $300 to 700. The price of the navigator influences, first of all - functionality. It is a memory size on which the number of loaded navigation charts depends, the power of the processor which is responsible for speed and support 3D, presence of the touch screen, support of vocal helps. Besides it, the price depends on the manufacturer: so, the Taiwan navigators are much cheaper (from $50-100) Japanese.

5. Where to take electronic navigation charts for information loading?

Practically always they are on sale in the same place, where also navigators. The Internet can be an additional source of acquisition.
