New technology will reduce costs in the Barents Sea – Romsdals Budstikke

Under the Barents Sea Conference in Hammerfest Tuesday launched Statoil’s technology director Margaret Øvrum a new concept for drilling at shallow depths in the Barents Sea.

On some projects, costs can be reduced by up to 30 percent, the company claims.

– The advantage of the new design is that we can get easier and quicker out in horizontal drilling. That means we may have fewer wells and reach over wider areas, say Øvrum said. (© NTB)

Brown water in the center and Myra – Future Requirements

Brown water after vannavstenging in certain downtown streets.

Kristiansund municipality said on its website Tuesday morning that it would be vannavstenging in Johan P Clausen street, Police Bendixens street and Ivar Aasen street Tuesday from kl. 9:30 and a piece throughout the day. This will cause brown water by applying for closure.

The reason for the closure is working with wiring. Municipality estimates the water will be reconnected within two to six hours.

Readers have tipped Future Demands for brown water in the taps in the center and Myra, even after letting it run for up to ten minutes .

Engineer for water in Kristiansund municipality, Per Erik Husby, points out that the water is safe.

– This is normal after vannavstenging. The water may be brown in color, or get air in it and a gray color, says Husby.

It may according Husby take time to get shiny water again. It is not uncommon to let cold water run over ten minutes before one gets shiny water.

– My top tip is to tap water in the basement, that is as close intake as possible and preferably before the hot water tank.

Husby emphasizes that water is not dangerous, and that you do not get sick if you have drunk it.

– if the brown water was going to persist into the evening and tomorrow, I recommend calling service office, 71 57 40 00, says Husby.

Profitable technology – NRK

– First I start by taking the temperature, so I take the pulse and oxygen saturation, says Rigmor Strande.

She has COPD, and check their health condition twice a day . The results are sent automatically to the district.

Strande live in Old Oslo is one of four districts which since 2014 has been involved in the project welfare technology in the city.

Good results

Now, a quantitative study that the introduction of welfare technology patients with chronic disease in St.Hanshaugen, Old Oslo, saws and Grünerløkka produce significant savings.

After six months had home care 34 percent fewer visits. Meanwhile, time spent inside in each patient was reduced by 60 percent.

– I have not had visits from home care for half a year. And now I have not actually had pneumonia at eighteen months, says Strande.

172 users in districts and 95 hospital patients are examined. After half a year had Lovisenberg 32 percent fewer hospitalizations, and number of overnight stays decreased by 39 percent.

Much money saving

Converted in monetary ears spared district 59 172 per year per user, the hospital saved 5676 NOK user even 444 million.

Intro International and Architecture and design in Oslo also made a qualitative study in which 12 users and two relatives were interviewed. Several of users experience a sense of empowerment, but the reason could the report be that those who participate in the pilot project have been closely monitoring.

Health Minister Bent Høie believes the use of technology can be a good fit for some patient groups, such that health services have more time to other groups who have greater needs.

Rigmor Strande is no doubt that the project has been good for her.

– I am very grateful for this because it has helped me a lot. I no longer have so much anxiety, because I myself have followed with the disease.

Technology is good help



Maria Helseth Greve is project manager Gamle Oslo and says that many patients with welfare technology understand more of their own illness.

It is an experience more have done, says project in Gamle Oslo, Maria Helseth Greve.

– users understand more of their own illness and we get good feedback.

Some patient groups experiencing other hand overview of the disease as stressful, says Greve.

– We have examples of it, especially patients who have reached a phase where the disease is more serious.

She believes technology is important, but believes it is as much about how to use it.

– You must see at who benefits from it, and to which good mapping. Now we’ve tried a lot and learned a lot along the way.

Facebooks reality check – VG

LOS ANGELES (AP) Today, earnest start of the technology that will let you experience anything, anywhere. Only nausea stands in the way.

In the cult film “The Matrix” controls the robots world while man lives in a virtual reality they do not know is “illegitimate”.

“What is real? How do you define what is real? If you talk about what you can feel, taste and see, then it’s “real” only signals your brain has interpreted, “says one of the protagonists Morpheus in the movie.

Morpheus asks the main character Neo choose between a red and blue pill. The blue pill allows Neo remain in Matrix-world illusions, while the red release you into the true reality.

Chief Scientist Michael Abrash VR company Oculus referred to “The Matrix” on Facebook conference F8 last year. The film’s message is that he got to realize VR endless possibilities.

Not least Plato idélære about human perception of reality.

– I do not offer you a choice today. For whatever pill you choose, we same way, said Abrash.



Facebook furthest forward

2016 is the big year for VR – virtual reality – computer technology that allows users to be completely enclosed in another world. The largest technology companies are queuing up to launch equipment in the months ahead, but ahead of the Facebook.

Monday began sending of their long-awaited VR glasses Oculus Rift. Norway was one of the few countries that were offered advance of the product. Those who have not pre-ordered should plan on waiting until the summer since the first edition is sold out.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg bought VR company Oculus 12 billion in 2014. He believes VR is the platform for the future digital development and that most of us still can not fathom how it will change our lives.

the days ahead will be decisive for Facebook. Delivers billion investment as expected and the audience happy?



Do not believe in VR porn

So what can the glasses used if you book a couple of days? The games industry has is the arsenal of games ready. Porn industry is betting that VR will be their lifebuoy after net ruined the traditional revenue model. Also learning programs and meeting facilities will be available, with the film and television industry in heels.

Interestingly Palmer Luckey, Oculus’23-year-old developer, believes porn users do not have powerful enough PCs to enjoy the technology.

Requires powerful PC

for the enjoyment of VR today must have a PC with very powerful and expensive graphics card that provides adequate solution. Serious gamers usually have potent PCs. The regular porn users however have hardware of different quality.

To put it in perspective: Graphics manufacturer Nvidia has estimated that only about 13 million of the world’s 1.43 billion PCs are compatible waveform with VR.

Do you have a Mac, you can just forget it, if you want to bet on Oculus.

According to Luckey is Apple’s current machines are not even close to being good enough for VR.

There are already user-friendly headset that can connect to mobile, including from Samsung. But these are some distance away from the user experience to the glasses to come.

See also: “These five technology trends coming in 2016″

According Oculus CEO Luckey also challenges VR’s perception of time. Some can play a game for 12 hours without getting tired or have a clear perception of how long they have played.

Zuckerberg believes it will take ten years before VR is the technology most of us have taken in use.

nausea

One of the biggest challenges is nausea, especially in games with a lot of movement. The mismatch between the eyes see and what the body experiences makes users seasickness.

The nausea has been one of VR big problems from the outset, and something both game developers and eyeglass manufacturers are working hard to fix. Oculus will mark content with motion degree, so that people who are especially prone to seasickness know what they’re going to.

To bring down the price is also crucial. Today Oculus glasses costing six thousand crowns. The products ready for the market in årligger slightly above and below this sum.

But what exactly is a few thousand kroner for escapist entertainment anytime?

Varmepumpas theory and practice – SIFO

A new study has examined the installation of air-to-air heat pumps in Norwegian and Danish households.

Scandinavian cooperation

Researchers from the Norwegian Building Research Institute in Denmark, together with SIFO researchers Nina Heidenstrom and Gunnar Vittersø published article “Selling and inst alling heat pumps – and influencing household practices “in the journal Building Research & amp; Information. http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rbri20/current. The article points out that the expected power savings often absent when installing energy efficient technology. Heat is thus an example of technology that will reduce the costs of heating, but who often do not have the expected impact on costs.

Out of sight?

Interviews with Scandinavian players that sell and install heat pumps, is the starting point for the analysis. The researchers behind the study have aimed to understand the role of sellers and installers can have in terms of the difference between the power savings that households expect and the actual energy consumption after installation of the heat pump.

The decision on where the pump should be placed one example of practices that affect electricity savings. For households – especially for women – it’s often about aesthetics and noise. People will simply not the heat pump should vote. One professional who is interviewed in the study say that people will hide the heat pump as well as possible and that this may reduce effectiveness. Meanwhile, installers often great understanding that households do not want noise in the living room. Another example is that consumers often are not familiar with the technology before and set the heat pump failure.

sellers and installers

Earlier studies have emphasized on how households use the air conditioner. The new study focuses on how heat pump technology integrated into homes ¬- and the role of seller and installer player. It is especially the seller and installer’s handling of the matter of comfort, use and practical integration of the pump in homes as the Danish and Norwegian researchers are looking into. Researchers in the study want to put the spotlight on how the theory of use of heat pumps must be linked to the knowledge of practical use of pumps.

The study shows that to emphasize that the technology is effective, is not enough to top savings in power consumption. The researchers discuss including how various players in the sales area can get new roles to help actually energy using air-to-air heat pumps. The study proposes inter alia that education and information about the proper use of the heat pump becomes a mandatory part of the installation.
