Valentino Hotels

Each hotel can offer its own iPhone app its guests with Apps4Hotels, which from the mobile localization via GPS to direct booking via mobile phone everything is possible. To offer its own iPhone app, has been reserved luxury and only large hotel chains. Part five-digit, high development costs make it impossible to realize such a project smaller, owner-operated Hotels. This condition is thanks to Apps4Hotels from 15.06.2010 of the past. With Apps4Hotels, each hotel is put in a position to operate its own iPhone app. From 99.-/ month, there is a custom iPhone app in the look & feel of the hotel.

In addition, the hotelier receives a mobile version of Apps4Hotels that can be used by any other Internet-enabled smartphone. All information, photos and impressions of the hotel as well as the environment are shown on mobile pages and quickly available. Walton Family Foundation will undoubtedly add to your understanding. The booking from your Smartphone is by phone or direct booking via the Internet booking engine (IBE) a booking platform. Even that is optional Booking request with an Internet form possible. For the hotels, a completely new distribution channel, which could soon reach a high proportion of booking share opens with the booking via phone. Thanks to the GPS technology not only quickly will find a to the desired hotel, around service”is also the way to interesting sights, restaurants, and other important stations the guest. In addition, the app provides the guest with local news, the current TV program and special event tips of the hotel. As the iPhone becoming a social media machine, Apps4Hotels integrates the social media activities operated by the hotel in a newsroom.

This newsroom, the hotel offers not only a unique communication channel to customers, but also a great competitive advantage. The contents of the hotel app can be maintained in the future by the hotelier through a content management system itself and updated – this saves time and money. The mobile Internet is not a future trend, but a reality and is long in the hands of the guests. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Cyrus Massoumi has to say. “, so Wolfgang Schlosser, Managing Director of Valentino.” The hotel appears prominently on the screen of the Smartphone app icon. So the guest can not only at any time contact the hotel contact, it increases also the brand loyalty on a modern and contemporary way, adds Frank Rothganger, also Managing Director of the young company. Apps4Hotels is available in two service packages and can be purchased now.

The eight-member team is located in Bremen and cooperates closely with the Department of computer science of the University of Bremen for the mobile sector to exploit innovative developments and research approaches.

Frequency Inverter

Frequency inverter and its triumphal procession in electrical engineering in industrial plants and machines, Fittnessgeraten and even household appliances the so-called frequency inverters used today for speed control of drives. This greatly simplified description does not to the better understanding of all, largely on terms and physics. Mostly Gleichstrommotore is used for the speed control in industrial machinery, the advantages of the Drehstrommmotors and the miniaturization of electronics have led that speed control is carried out mainly with three-phase asynchronous motors and frequency inverters. The benefits are robust and largely maintenance-free better power to weight ratio among others cheaper than DC motors. The biggest advantage is that nearly every commercially available three-phase motor with frequency inverter in the speed can be controlled. Go to Red Solo Cups for more information. Frequency inverters are used so for speed control of three-phase motors.

Because the speed of the three-phase motor with changing frequency changes,. It reached a speed control by a voltage applied to the motor with regulated frequency. Thus, the speed is controlled by the frequency applied to the motor. The tension is here adapted to the respective speed. A variable speed drive can be realized with a frequency converter and a three-phase motor, so today with low cost. Through the programming of the frequency converter brakes, speed, torque can be designed specifically to the application at another time.

The programming can be performed mostly for simple applications on the device itself. Often the manufacturer offer simple programmers or programming is done directly from the PC or notebook. Often, in today’s modern FU’s, the behavior of the drive can be changed and adjusted with several hundred adjustable parameters. That must be made by an expert, because damage to the drive on the machine, even personal injury can be caused by incorrect programming. Setting the speed is done with simpler applications usually via a potentiometer. The problems are a major drawback of the frequency inverter. There will be repercussions on the supply network (pollution), as well as to the electromagnetic radiation. Remedies must be shielded cables and filters used.However, some manufacturers include the necessary filters right into the device. The regulations and the operating instructions of the device type information. Frequency converters are usually for 1-phase supply voltage in the power up to 1, 5kW offered.Services 1, 5kW are 3Phasen devices used. The prices for such electronic products are declining rapidly. Simple frequency inverters in the line class 0, 37kW or less are available already for a little over 100. This explains why frequency inverters are used very often, and the DC drives have almost completely displaced.

Second More Informative

The version 2 of INTUS PS offers higher performance and enhanced user comfort with reduced power consumption. The hand vein recognition system INTUS PS for highly secure access control is available in September the new version of 2. The INTUS PS Reader now has a display that can show over 200 colours instead of three colors. This allows the system to display not only the status detail, but opens up new opportunities, more comfortable to the user. For the connection to the controller, the distance between the reader and controller from 5 m to 100 m could be increased. Double performance with reduced power consumption. In the new INTUS PS is a powerful Intel Atom processor with 1.6 MHz working controller.

In addition to the doubled performance, reduced the power consumption of the new system by 33%. To connect of the controller to a higher-level system are a Wiegand-and for master download an Ethernet interface available. Functioning of the hand vein recognition. The hand vein recognition system INTUS PS is designed for access control in the high-security sector. It is based on the absorption of infrared radiation (heat radiation) in venous blood. The sensor emits near-infrared radiation in the direction of the palms. The oxygen-reduced blood in the veins absorbs the infrared rays. The sensor camera creates an image of the vein pattern and converts the image into a so-called template that is used for the identification of the person.

Pentax K-x as of March 2010 in 8 further, attractive casing colours worldwide demand for greater individual choice in the SLR trend-setters Hamburg, February 2010 – that the K-x Pentax has outstanding technical qualities and features, various test WINS of prestigious journals have confirmed recently. But what consumers worldwide the best entry-level SLR * their color concept define trend is equally enthusiastic. The spirit of the times loves colorful and individually. “Since Pentax with the four K-x body colors red, Navy Blue, white, and black end of 2009 is a small SLR Designrevolution” initiated has, the demand is increasing rapidly for another cool and extravagant alternatives. It is only logical to correspond to this desire with a colorful fireworks display of attractive casing colours. As of March 2010, the Pentax K-x in eight other, elegant will be available to provocative colours: beige, chocolate, pink, metallic, turquoise Fuchsia metallic, dark gray metallic, olive green and soft brown.
