Article Audi Develops Industry-First Stop Light Countdown System Image

Audi has created a stop light countdown system that tells drivers exactly how long it will take for a red light to change to a green light.

The industry-first stop light countdown system will be on the vehicle’s dashboard and wirelessly links to traffic-management computers in participating cities in the United States.

At the moment, Audi working to finalize contracts with specific U.S. cities so it is unclear where the system will roll out first.

Not only will the system count down from red to green but if it believes a driver won’t make it through a green light that is about to change to red, it will also initiate for safety purposes.

Look for the stop light countdown system to be included on the 2017 Q7 SUV and A4 sedan built after June 1.

A Guide to Purchasing Inconel: Tips and Considerations

Inconel® is a family of nickel-chromium superalloys known for high strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Well-suited to demanding applications, Inconel alloys typically comprise 50–70% nickel, 15–25% chromium, and other elements such as iron, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. The specific composition of an Inconel alloy depends on its intended applicati

3D-Printed Metal Matrix Composite Could Boost High-Temperature Aerospace Components

A research team at the University of Toronto has created a metal matrix composite that stays light, strong, and stable at temperatures where most aluminum alloys fail. The material is produced through a combination of laser-based additive manufacturing and micro-casting, giving it a reinforced-concrete-like architecture on a microscopic scale. That structure delivers strength at both ambient and e
