German Engineering, American Vehicle


General Motors has done much to revitalize its Saturn brand in the past eighteen months. The brand known in the past as the home of the haggle-free customer service is now the fastest growing brand in the United States auto market. General Motors has revitalized the brand by infusing the Saturn lineup with German engineering.

With the help of Opel, General Motors has turned Saturn vehicles into the most European-ized American cars in the market. The recently named the 2007 North American Car of the Year, the Saturn Aura has close ties with the Opel Vectra. The Saturn Astra that will be released in the North American market later this year is a rebadged Opel Astra. Another result of the collaboration between Opel and Saturn is the convertible Saturn Sky which is based on the Opel GT.

Another Saturn vehicle with European lineage is the midsize crossover SUV Saturn Vue. The vehicle was designed based on the Opel Antara which is based on the General Motors Theta platform. The Antara and the Vue are designed to be indistinguishable from each other. Both are designed and developed in Germany using the country’s engineering.

The similarity between the European Antara and the American Vue is apparent in its handling. The suspension setting of the Antara mirrors that of the Vue. Both crossover SUVs are equipped with strut-front and multilink-rear suspension settings. According to the manufacturer of the Vue, it will have the same handling and stability as its European sibling.

With German engineering behind the new Vue, handling is improved compared to its predecessor. With more responsive handling, the Vue is considered as a near luxury vehicle. In the past, several Saturn auto models have failed to give the brand an upscale feel. But with the partnership with Opel, Saturn vehicles have become a serious competitor in its segment.

The General Motors Theta platform was revised to give the new Vue its sharper handling and better ride comfort. Vibrations and noise from the engine bay are also reduced, thanks to the specially designed Saturn engine mount which absorbs most of the engine’s vibrations.

The revisions to the automobile platform with the use of German engineering have resulted to an increase in weight. More than 400 pounds were added to the new Vue compared to its predecessor. This increase in weight is a surprise considering that the new Vue has virtually the same dimensions as the old Vue.

The 2008 Saturn Vue will be equipped with a standard 2.4-liter Ecotec engine with the variable valve timing. This engine can produce as much as 169 horsepower. An optional engine for the new Vue includes a 3.5-liter V6 with an output of 222 horsepower. Another engine choice available for the Vue is a 3.6-liter direct overhead camshaft V6 engine with an output of 257 horsepower.

The new Saturn Vue will be competing in the North American auto market directly with the Ford Escape, the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. In order to compete with these already established nameplates, the Saturn Vue has been given European styling which is aimed to attract young vehicle buyers. The changes made in the exterior of the Saturn Vue gives it a sportier look unlike its predecessor. With the help of Opel, it seems that the Saturn Vue will become a major competition for the Asian brands in its segment.

Software Development Process


A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. Synonyms include software life cycle and software process. There are several models for such processes, each describing approaches to a variety of tasks or activities that take place during the process. . Let us see the steps involve in any software development.

Domain Analysis

Often the first step in attempting to design a new piece of software, whether it be an addition to an existing software, a new application, a new subsystem or a whole new system, is what is generally referred to as “Domain Analysis”. Assuming that the developers (including the analysts) are not sufficiently knowledgeable in the subject area of the new software, the first task is to investigate the so-called “domain” of the software. The more knowledgeable they are about the domain already, the less the work required. Another objective of this work is to make the analysts who will later try to elicit and gather the requirements from the area experts or professionals, speak with them in the domain’s own terminology and to better understand what is being said by these people. Otherwise they will not be taken seriously. So, this phase is an important prelude to extracting and gathering the requirements.

Software Elements Analysis

The most important task in creating a software product is extracting the requirements. Clients typically know what they want, but not what software should do, while incomplete, ambiguous or contradictory requirements are recognized by skilled and experienced software engineers. Frequently demonstrating live code may help reduce the risk that the requirements are incorrect.

Specification

Specification is the task of precisely describing the software to be written, possibly in a rigorous way. In practice, most successful specifications are written to understand and fine-tune applications that were already well-developed, although safety-critical software systems are often carefully specified prior to application development. Specifications are most important for external interfaces that must remain stable.

Implementation (or coding)

Reducing a design to code may be the most obvious part of the software engineering job, but it is not necessarily the largest portion.

Testing

Testing of parts of software, especially where code by two different engineers must work together falls to the software engineer.

Documentation

An important (and often overlooked) task is documenting the internal design of software for the purpose of future maintenance and enhancement. Documentation is most important for external interfaces.

Software Training and Support

A large percentage of software projects fail because the developers fail to realize that it doesn’t matter how much time and planning a development team puts into creating software if nobody in an organization ends up using it. People are occasionally resistant to change and avoid venturing into an unfamiliar area so, as a part of the deployment phase, it is very important to have training classes for the most enthusiastic software users (build excitement and confidence), shifting the training towards the neutral users intermixed with the avid supporters, and finally incorporate the rest of the organization into adopting the new software. Users will have lots of questions and software problems which lead to the next phase of software.

Maintenance

Maintaining and enhancing software to cope with newly discovered problems or new requirements can take far more time than the initial development of the software. Not only may it be necessary to add code that does not fit the original design but just determining how software works at some point after it is completed may require significant effort by a software engineer. About ? of all software engineering work is maintenance, but this statistic can be misleading. A small part of that is fixing bugs. Most maintenance is extending systems to do new things, which in many ways can be considered new work.

Petroleum Engineering Jobs Are In Demand


Petroleum engineers are involved in all the stages of oil extraction procedures. From exploration to recovery , petroleum engineers have the skills and ability to supervise the entire operation. Their educational background in chemistry, physics, math, computer science and geology makes them an important part of the extraction and production procedures of oil and gases. On the field they can hold roles as drilling engineers, reservoir engineers, chemical engineers or analysts.

These are some of the jobs and tasks of a petroleum engineer.

1. Planning and Surveys. When a potential oil site is found the initial task of a petroleum engineer is to get samples from the area. The samples will contain information on the quality, quantity and depth of the oil. After analysis of the area and oil are done, the drilling engineer starts planning the extraction process. The right equipment and instruments are chosen for the drilling and extraction of the oil. Positioning the wells and modifying drilling operations are made by the petroleum engineer to increase productivity. The engineer supervises drilling activities on the oilfield and monitors each stage of the operation.

2. Evaluation and Problem Solving. Reservoir engineers have to know how to recover the oil in the ground utilizing the most effective means at a reasonable cost. They consult with geologists, hydrologists, chemical engineers, metallurgical engineers, and mining engineers for design and testing issues. Operational problems have to be addressed so oil recovery procedures can be maximized. Petroleum engineers are tasked with re-evaluating the processes and assist technical personnel by interpreting the results of the evaluation to ensure the changes made will improve oil recovery procedures.

Implementation. Petroleum engineers coordinate and supervise the installation and maintenance of drilling equipment on the oil field. Placement of wells is decided upon and tests are conducted to make sure the process is done according to design. Installation of drilling and other oil recovery equipment have to meet environmental control measures.

Safety at the drilling site is a major concern. It is also the role of petroleum engineers to ensure that machinery and equipment brought on site have been tested to meet performance requirements. Inspections have to be done regularly during recovery procedures to check if safety measures are met. When recovery procedures are over and all the oil or gases have been extracted, it is the job of petroleum engineers to supervise the organized dismantling of structures at the site. The machinery and equipment must be properly removed from the area as well as any waste products that accumulate during extraction procedures. Areas that have been drilled have to be filled and returned to its normal state.

Petroleum engineers have many job tasks while they are out on the field. Their educational background and the skills they acquire on the job provide them with the ability to choose from a broad list of job positions.

The Chevrolet Corvair Engine


The Chevrolet Corvair engine was a flat-6 (or boxer engine) piston engine used exclusively in the 1960s Chevrolet Corvair automobile. It was a highly unusual engine for General Motors: It was air-cooled, used a flat design, with aluminum heads (incorporating integral intake manifolds) and crankcase, and individual iron cylinder barrels. The heads were modeled after the standard Chevrolet overhead valve design, with large valves operated by rocker arms, actuated by pushrods run off a nine lobe camshaft (exhaust lobes did double duty for two opposing cylinders) running directly on the crankcase bore without an inserted bearing, operating hydraulic valve lifters (which eliminated low temperature valve clatter otherwise seen with that much aluminum in the engine, due to its high degree of thermal expansion).

The flat horizontally opposed (“flat engine“) air-cooled engine design, previously used by Volkswagen and Porsche as well as Lycoming aircraft engines, offered many advantages. Unlike inline or V designs, the horizontally opposed design made the engine inherently mechanically balanced, so that counterweights on the crankshaft were not necessary, reducing the weight greatly. Eliminating a water-cooling system further reduced the weight, and the use of aluminum for the heads and crankcase capitalized on this weight reduction; so that with the use of aluminum for the transaxle case, the entire engine/transaxle assembly weighed under 500 pounds (225 kilograms). In addition, the elimination of water-cooling eliminated several points of maintenance and possible failure, reducing them all to a single point; the fan belt. As with the Volkswagen and Porsche designs, the low weight and compact but wide packaging made the engine ideal for mounting in the rear of the car, eliminating the weight and space of a conventional driveshaft.

Two years after its 1960 debut, the Corvair engine gained another unusual attribute: it was the second production engine ever to be equipped from the factory with a turbocharger, released shortly after the Oldsmobile Jetfire V8.

Aircraft hobbyists and small volume builders, perhaps seeing the Corvair engine’s similarity to Lycoming aircraft engines, very quickly began a cottage industry of modifying Corvair engines for aircraft use, which continues to this day. The Corvair engine also became a favorite for installation into modified Volkswagens and Porsches, as well as dune buggies and homemade sports and race cars.

140

The Corvair’s innovative turbocharged engine; The turbo, located at top right, takes in air through the large air cleaner at top left, passes it through the sidedraft carburetor in between, and feeds pressurized fuel/air mixture into the engine through the chrome T-tube visible spanning the engine from left to right.

The Corvair’s innovative turbocharged engine; The turbo, located at top right, takes in air through the large air cleaner at top left, passes it through the sidedraft carburetor in between, and feeds pressurized fuel/air mixture into the engine through the chrome T-tube visible spanning the engine from left to right.

The initial Corvair engine displaced 140 in³ (2.3 L) and produced 80 hp (60 kW). The high performance optional “Super TurboAir” version, introduced mid 1960 with a special camshaft and revised carburetors and valve springs produced 95 hp (70 kW).

145

In 1961, the engine received its first increases in size via a larger bore. The engine was now 145 in³ and the base engine was said to produce the same 80 hp (60 kW). The new high performance engine was rated at 98 hp (73 kW). In 1962 the high performance engine was rated at 102 hp (76 kW). The high compression 102 HP heads were added to the Monza models equipped with Powerglide when the standard engine was ordered, giving an 84 HP engine rating. 1962 engines returned to automatic chokes after a one year only manual choke on 1961 models.

The ultimate performance was found in the Spyder model, which became available with a turbocharged engine rated at 150 hp (112 kW). The turbocharger was mounted on the right side of the firewall behind the rear seat, fed by both exhaust manifolds; a single sidedraft carburetor mounted on the left side of the firewall fed directly into the turbocharger’s intake, with a chromed pipe leading from the turbocharger’s outlet to what would otherwise be the carburetor mounting pads on the intake manifolds, which were integral parts of the heads. The turbocharged heads received some valve upgrades to improve durability. Exhaust valves on turbocharged engines were made from a non-ferrous material used in jet engine turbine buckets, called ‘Nimonic 80-A’. All other Corvair engines had slight upgrades in valve and valve seat materials as well for 1962.

164

The engine was stroked out (from 2.6″ to 2.94″) displacing 164 in (2.7 L) for 1964. Power output was boosted to 95 hp (70 kW) for the base model and 110 hp (80 kW) in the high performance normally aspirated engine, while the Turbocharged engine remained rated at 150 hp for this year. This increase in stroke was the maximum the engine could tolerate, to the point that the bottoms of the cylinder barrels had to be notched to clear the big end of the connecting rods.

For the 1965 model year, all engines had the head gasket area between the cylinder and the head widened, with a new design folded “Z” section stainless steel head gasket virtually eliminating any risk of head gasket failure. A 140 hp (104 kW) version with 4 single barrel carburetors, and a progressive linkage was introduced in 1965 as option L63 ‘Special High Performance Engine’ and was standard equipment on the Corsa model. The carburetors consisted of a single barrel primary and a single barrel secondary on each head, connected by a progressive linkage; in addition, the heads featured a 9.25:1 compression ratio, and the cars received dual exhaust systems. Engines supplied with the automatic transmission after spring 1965 were modified with a camshaft from the 95 Horsepower base engine, and a special crankshaft gear that retarded its timing 4 degrees- the former to increase torque and smooth idle with the Powerglide transmission, the latter to restore some of the peak HP lost at higher engine speeds by the economy contoured camshaft with short timing.

1966 engines were basically carryover from the 1965 models, however Corvairs sold in California (except Turbocharged models) now featured the General Motors Air Injection Reactor System (AIR), and emissions control system consisting of an engine driven air pump that drew filtered air from the air cleaner, and injected a metered amount into the exhaust manifolds via tubing to promote complete oxidation and combustion of exhaust gasses to lower emissions. Specially calibrated carburetors and slight changes to the ignition timing and advance curves were part of the package. The AIR system had an unfortunate effect of sustantially raising exhaust gas, valve and head temperatures, particularly under heavy loads and this was a drawback on the Corvair where engine cooling could not be easily improved to cope with the higher temperatures. Nonetheless, performance and drivability were not noticably effected in most circumstances. In 1968, all Corvair (and other GM) engines got the AIR system for every market.

The 140 HP engine was officially discontinued for ‘67, but became optional in 1967 as COPO 9551-B, not a regular production option. Chevrolet sold 279 of these engines in the 1967 model year, 232 with manual transmissions, and 47 with Powerglide transmissions. Only six were sold with the four carburetor engine and the AIR injection system required by California emissions standards. These figures include 14 Yenko Stingers and 3 Dana Chevrolet variants of the Stinger.

Both the 140 HP engines and the Turbocharged engines had many special quality features not shared with lesser Corvairs- Moly insert top rings, stellite tips and faces on the valves, a Tufftrided (cold gas hardened) crankshaft, and Delco Moraine ‘400′ aluminum engine bearings- the quality of the 140HP Corvair engine for materials is directly comparable to the Rolls Royce V8 of that era, item for item. It was a fabulous bargain for the $79 premium it commanded over the basic 95HP engine. Performance of the 140HP engine was better than you might expect, with a 5200 rpm peak horsepower output, it offered road performance in a Corvair comparable to contemporary Cadillac models of the day.

The turbocharged engine now developed 180 hp (134 kW). Contemporary reviews describe a similarity in power between the turbocharged and four-carburetor engines throughout the low and mid rpm range, with the turbocharged engine being superior only when it was possible to sustain boost continously. The turbocharged engines long suit was highway acceleration, flooring the accelerator at turnpike speeds produced ferocious acceleration in the upper speed ranges as the turbocharger began to boost, reaching manifold pressures approaching 15 PSI. No wastegate was used on the Corvair turbocharged engine, boost was controlled by careful balancing of exhaust restriction, mostly via the muffler, and intake restrictions from the smallish Carter YH carburetor used. Preignition and knock under boost was controlled using a novel ‘pressure retard’ device, essentially a modified vacuum advance device, on the specially curved distributor, as boost pressures built, ignition advance was progressively reduced to preclude detonation.

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Software Developers


Having the right software package for your business is becoming more and more important as technology becomes both more complicated and more necessary for success. Many companies struggle to find the right software solution for their business and suffer as a result of inefficient processes, losing time and money on a daily basis. However, a quick consultation with a professional software engineer could be all your company needs to get the software that they need. In no time, you can quickly be operating at levels that are better, cheaper, and faster than previously imagined.

The benefits to having a software engineer work with you are many. Their in depth knowledge of software and the IT market as a whole give them several advantages that you can capitalize on by hiring their help. Here are five advantages that a professional software designer brings to the table that you will have a hard time replicating by hiring in-house staff.

1. Knowledge and Experience – The key advantage that a software engineer brings to the table is that they have a diverse amount of training and education that is expensive to hire in-house. They may also bring certifications to the table that give them more credibility and knowledge about ways to improve your company’s use of technology.

2. Personal Involvement – By outsourcing your software help to a professional, you also get a personal touch. A software engineer will begin as a consultant for you and will investigate your current use of technology and will present you with a wide variety of options for improving your use of technology. Often, they will know more about what kind of options are out there and will have the ability to quickly identify with your business and help you choose the right solution.

3. Custom Software Solutions – The ideal solution for your company will be something that is unique and works better for you than anyone else. A good software engineer/consultant will have the ability to either combine different software packages to best meet your needs or design and write a custom piece of software that is best for your company. In either case, they will have the ability to expertly match your processes with the software’s functionality, giving you the results that you’ve been striving for.

4. Implementation – Unfortunately, selecting the right software is only half the battle. You must be able to implement the software and train your staff on the proper way to use the software. Again, your software engineer can assist by conducting formal training for end-users.

5. System Analysis – If you’ve already got a software package that meets your needs and are just looking for a couple of ways to manipulate your current software to improve effectiveness, a software engineer can help. They have a diverse knowledge and understanding of software and have the ability to work with a variety of packages, find ways to improve them, and find solutions for your company.

The benefits of consulting with a professional software engineer are many. Finding one is often as easy as contacting a local or national IT staffing and consulting firm. Consulting with an IT professional is the first step to improving your use of technology and realizing higher profits.
