China-first battery-powered hanging trains

China has unveiled the world's first battery-powered hanging trains which will suspend passengers in mid-air and look more like rollercoasters
The world's first battery-powered 'rollercoaster' trains which hang from the track suspended in mid-air have been unveiled in China.

The incredible hanging carriages were filmed in action in Chengdu, reaching speeds of up to 37mph on the upside down monorail.

The fascinating trains, powered by lithium batteries, will be able to carry 120 passengers in each carriage.

But no official opening date has been announced for the suspended railway, with tests expected to continue following Friday's successful run.
Zhai Wanming, chief designer of the project, told People's Daily China that the new train is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to electric and diesel rail systems.

Wangming added: 'The test runs will continue for tens of thousands of kilometers to check performance capabilities before official operation.'
Chengdu, which also operates an underground Metro system, is the first city in China to officially unveil a suspension railway but the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai will also be opening one next year.

Artificial Intelligence 1.    What is AI technique? Artificial  Intelligence (AI)  is  the study  of  how  to make computers do things which, at  the moment, people do better. It is a method that exploits knowledge that should be represented in such a way that: ·    The knowledge captures generalizations. ·    It can be understood by people who must provide it. ·    It can be easily modified to correct errors and to reflect changes. ·    It can be used in situations even if it is not accurate and complete. ·    It helps to narrow the range of possibilities that is has to be considered. 2.    What are the steps to be considered to solve a problem? To solve a particular problem, the following steps are taken into account, ·    Define the problem precisely. ·    Analyze the problem. ·    Isolate and represent the task knowledge that is necessary to solve a problem. ·    Choose the best problem-solving techniques and apply it to a particular problem.

The taxonomy of CASE Tools

CASE Tool Taxonomy CASE tools can be classified by · by function, · by user type (e.g. manager, tester), or · by stage in SE process (e.g. requirements, test) The following taxonomy is classified by function. Business Information Tools model business information flow. The tools represent business data object and model their flow. Network tools could be modified to yield the same functionality. Process Management Tools model processes. You have to understand the process in order to model it. The tools help you capture process. This is a key component of TQI. Project Planning Tools help plan and schedule projects. Examples are PERT and CPM. Finding parallelismand eliminating bottlenecks assist in streamlining projects. Risk Analysis Tools helps build a risk table from the schedule outlining the risk each component of the production process and categorizing the risks as catastrophic, critical, marginal, or negligible. A cost is associated with eac
