Sendyne® and the University of Toronto Enter Research Agreement for Battery Systems Technology










New York, NY (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Sendyne® Corp., a New York-based semiconductor developer, and the University of Toronto have entered into a research agreement to develop systems and electronics with the goal of accelerating the adoption of large scale battery storage for Electric Vehicles (EV) and utility-scale battery packs.

Battery storage is one of the main technologies capable of addressing the energy and climate issues of the planet, as it allows storage from alternative energy sources, optimization of the power grid and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. The high cost to performance ratio of today’s battery systems impedes their widespread adoption. This research project will apply state-of-the-art technology and implement silicon designs to significantly improve the cost and performance of such systems.

Sendyne® has been developing semiconductors, systems and technology specifically targeted for battery management systems. Sendyne® is providing its patented technology as well as access to intellectual property, development tools and scientific expertise. The University of Toronto, ranked among the top research universities worldwide, has developed significant technology on power supplies and power management systems which will be utilized for this project.

Leading the project team is Professor Aleksandar Prodic, from the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department of the University of Toronto and the founder of the Laboratory for Power Management and Integrated SMPS, where the development will take place. Dr. Prodic, a recipient of several IEEE awards and distinctions, is an expert in power system design.

About the University of Toronto

The University of Toronto has assembled one of the strongest research and teaching faculties in North America, presenting top students at all levels with an intellectual environment unmatched in breadth and depth on any other Canadian campus.

U of T faculty co-author more research articles than their colleagues at any university in the US or Canada other than Harvard. As a measure of impact, U of T consistently ranks alongside the top five U.S. universities whose discoveries are most often cited by other researchers around the world. The U of T faculty are also widely recognized for their teaching strengths and commitment to graduate supervision.

Established in 1827, the University of Toronto today operates in downtown Toronto, Mississauga and Scarborough, as well as in nine renowned academic hospitals.

About Sendyne

Sendyne® designs and develops key semiconductor components and complete battery management system designs for large-scale batteries used in utility and traction storage.

The 39th Hong Kong Arts Festival 2011 – Over 120,000 Concert and Theatre Tickets Sold













Hong Kong Arts Festival 2011


(PRWEB) February 24, 2011

We are pleased to announce that the 39th Hong Kong Arts Festival (HKAF) opens tomorrow with a record high of over 120,000 concert and theatre tickets sold, coming to 87% of all seats. The official opening performing arts event is the first of two concerts featuring one of the most eminent artists of our time, Cecilia Bartoli. The latter concert, Sacrificium, is the Asian premiere of some of the most difficult baroque arias ever written, originally intended for castrati in the 18th century. This performance features pieces from a 2011 Grammy winning album of the same title.

Response to the Arts Festival so far has been exceptionally encouraging – 180 performing arts events have 90% ticket sales with almost 160 of them completely sold out – this includes the magical wonderland of Power Plant which takes the Arts Festival outdoors to the beautiful Kowloon Walled City Park.

Due to overwhelming demand, eight extra performances have been added to the performing arts programme. Concert and theatre tickets for available performances will continue to be offered during the Arts Festival period from 17 February to 27 March 2011.

The opening ceremony of the 39th Hong Kong Arts Festival will be held at 7:45pm tomorrow in the foyer of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The Honourable Mr Donald Tsang, the Chief Executive of the HKSAR and Patron of the Hong Kong Arts Festival, officiated the ceremony together with Mr Charles Lee, GBM, GBS, JP, Chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Festival; Mr Christopher Cheng Wai-chee, GBS JP, Steward of The Hong Kong Jockey Club; Mr Tsang Tak-sing, GBS, JP, Secretary for Home Affairs; Mr Mark McCombe, Chief Executive Officer Hong Kong of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited; Mrs Betty Fung, JP, Director of the Leisure and Cultural Services; and Ms Tisa Ho, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

This year the Hong Kong Arts Festival presents 228 performing arts events, including 13 new works, one world premiere, eight Asian premieres, and in addition, a Festival symposium, a series of guided tours, masterclasses, workshops and other Festival PLUS events. As an annual international event, the Hong Kong Arts Festival focuses on the best international performing arts along with vibrant contributions from Hong Kong’s creative talent. It also includes a strong regional Asian component, and serves as a showcase for the best contemporary and traditional performing arts in China.
