			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The 6 Super Effective Internet Marketing Strategies to Market your Online Business</strong></p>
<p>Creating objectives and goals for online businesses is always a very exciting and hopeful task to do for almost all Internet business owners. Of course, any business owner, whether of a small or big business, wants to see his business grow. However, no matter how much you want your business to grow, without the proper strategies, it would be impossible. For an online business, it all starts with proper and effective Internet marketing strategy. You have all the positive goals and objectives for your business but have you realized how many of these goals and objectives have already been achieved? You might excuse yourself from not meeting your objectives and achieving your goals but do you know that nothing is impossible as long as you know the 6 super <strong>Internet marketing strategies to market your online business</strong>. Read through!</p>
<p>  <strong>Believe in the Word of Mouth Advertising</strong>
<p>The word of mouth advertising is usually overlooked by many business owners and even business marketers but do you know that this is one of the most effective ways of marketing an online business? In fact, any company, small or big, benefits a lot from this advertising tool that is 100% generated by a good reputation. The prospects who visit your company through their friend’s recommendation are more likely to be converted into buying customers. So how can you start with your word of mouth advertising? To begin with, you’ve got to treat your customers like a king. Give them perfect reasons to start telling their friends and family about how good your products and/or services are. It is also a good idea to join the Chambers of Commerce and other professional organizations and ask your customers to tell other people about their good experience with your company.</p>
<p>  <strong>Use the Power of Press Releases</strong>
<p>Using press releases is also one of the best and most effective<strong> Internet marketing strategies </strong>to market your online business as well as to announce the new developments, products and/or services of your company, or recent accomplishments, promotion of an employee, expansion, and the list goes on. Another benefit is that this is a free method depending on the publication you wish to use.</p>
<p>  <strong>Send Direct Mail</strong>
<p>If you are looking for a cost-effective <strong>online business marketing</strong> method, you’ve got to consider the idea of sending direct mail. Purchase or build a list of possible customers that matches your target market. They may not reply the first time but be persistent and do not delete their names because you can use their names to build your list and the next time you have a new product or service, email them again. Who knows, they might think of your other products and/or services useful and they will finally convert into buying customers.</p>
<p>  <strong>Send your Customers Something </strong>
<p>Send your prospects postcards, letters, sample products and other freebies to inform all of them that your products and/or services exist.</p>
<p>  <strong>Trust Niche Advertising</strong>
<p>Find out what online and offline trade, directories, and specialized publications are related to the products and/or services and get them listed. Always look for opportunities to market and advertise in these niche advertising venues. Always remember, the more your message is targeted and driven to your specific audience, the better your return on investment will be.</p>
<p>  <strong>Build a Website </strong>
<p>With almost everything going online these days, having a website for your online business will help you tell your potential customers everything they need to know about your business as well as how your products and/or services can help them solve their problems. You don’t need to have a large, stylish and elaborate website. What is important is that it can provide useful information to all the users who will be visiting your site.</p>

This also reflects the business market, Sony&#8217;s determination to vigorously open up their trade upon listing is also caused quite a stir.</p>
<p> 56 months, Sony is still in Beijing Shanghai and Shenzhen and other cities organized &#8220;Sony high-definition panoramic life?? Sony HD Theater Appreciation Tour&#8221; launched the new VPL-VW85 and VPL-HW15 two new products, also received domestic consumers to take part in high-definition and wide recognition.</p>
<p> 8 29 26 consecutive days, the Beijing International Radio, Film and Television Equipment Exhibition (BIRTV) at the International Exhibition Centre, Sony also showed participants a variety of users for high-end projection engineering industry solutions This level among them Sony 4K resolution projects equipped with projection, it also works for BenQ machine made famous.</p>
<p> With these new projectors, Sony projectors are the industry to demonstrate a strong functional design, innovation and accurate market positioning, which Sony also launched a new round of market competition. Through these new projectors, we can find Sony 2009 projector products and some unique marketing strategies.</p>
<p> Business, education, family grab Sony&#8217;s commitment to market segments<br />
<br />Few years ago, Sony has been in business and home projection market, such as maintaining good momentum of development. With the projection market, its maturity, very rich product line, Sony also began working in the Olympic year projection market, the domestic segment. In order to better meet the projection needs of users, Sony of course, hoping to seek product differentiation. Through innovative design and positioning, Sony 2009 projector further highlight individual products, and is committed to the further breakdown of domestic projection market, in order to further tap the potential market demand projection.</p>
<p> Business projector market has always been Sony&#8217;s high hopes, Sony also has maintained the market lead. In 2009, Sony still want to continue to expand market leadership in the business, and deployed to replace the business market VPL-MX20/25 classic VPL-CX21. With sophisticated design and powerful functionality, Sony has these two new products expected to be new business leads business development of a model projection. In addition, VPL-ES7 and VPL-EX7 is mainly located in small and medium enterprise customers to design, they also take into account the home entertainment market, cafes, bars, KTV entertainment market superior projection users.</p>
<p> In the traditional field of education, Sony already has a full range of education projection products, and fully locked universities, education and government businesses. This also reflects the Sony aims to provide education and industry, more comprehensive solution (including VPL-CX135/165 network projection function), and strengthen education in traditional and emerging user lock to further enhance the Sony projector in education market competitiveness.</p>
<p> In high-definition home projector side, Sony&#8217;s full HD projectors have applied a powerful BRAVIAENGINE video engine, the product of the dynamic contrast ratio has also been further enhanced this high-end full HD users, and there is indeed good news; projectors, the Sony is committed to promoting the character of the industrial design and high-end solutions to 2K, 4K resolution, develop the domestic construction industry market.</p>
<p> Whole in 2009, Sony has been working to meet the changing market environment and a wider variety of user needs, and to continue to increase over 2500/3000 lumens of products and capital into the market. More importantly, Sony has full use of its innovative R &amp; D capabilities, constantly enriching the product line of projectors on the market, but also for business, education, family and other areas provide the innovative edge of the Sony projectors to allow more consumers to benefit from. Sony projector to achieve localization</p>
<p> improve service quality Along, Sony is the leader in projection technology. Through constant research and development, accurate market positioning, the variety of sales expansion and reasonable control of Sony in 2009 also launched many innovative hard copy to the projection. In addition, Sony also committed to achieving the projected product localization strategy, and continue to provide manufacturing, sales and after-sales service such as localization of a full set of operating systems. This not only enables more efficient sales, marketing, manufacturing and services, but also better to save Sony projection of production costs to further enhance the competitiveness of products and brands.</p>
<p> Alone were not enough, Sony has also stepped up in 2009 to further enhance the service quality of the projection. In order to better support customers and improve customer satisfaction projectors, Sony projectors professional customer service hotline is also a comprehensive upgrade to 400 hotline.</p>
<p> Now, Sony projectors from the 44 after-sales service network of professional services have been expanded to 79 centers, which can better meet the Sony projector in more areas of coverage requirements. It is worth mentioning that Sony has for the provision of different types of projectors corresponding to the different maintenance strategies, and introduced a large number of paid on-site maintenance services and home services, this is a number of Sony&#8217;s innovative new business model. I believe with strong technical and service support system, Sony projector will also be able to provide strong support for domestic users.</p>
<p> Continue to maintain our edge to meet the diverse needs of the Sony Business Projectors</p>
<p> Business projection in March of this year at the show, Sony announced, including VPL-MX20/25, VPL-DX10/11/15 and VPL<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Portable fuel cells are poised to achieve significant growth as units become smaller and fuels less expensive. According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Economies of scale do not entirely solve the inherent high costs of high grade metallic catalysts used in micro fuel cells. Nanotechnology is poised to provide new ways to create advanced materials that can be used to implement portable fuel cells. More catalyst price reductions are needed to make portable fuel cells competitive with thin film batteries. Portable fuel cells are useful in cities to power bicycles and for advanced multimedia electronics that draws a lot of power.&#8221;</p>
<p>Most of the developing world, where energy and environmental problems abound, still gets around on 2 wheels. 2% of the 1.5 billion population in China owns a car. Cities have started banning the use of 2-stroke engine motorcycles in favor of LPG scooters and electric bicycles.</p>
<p>19 million electric bicycles were purchased in 2008. The trend is expected to continue. As more people need to travel further each year, fuel cells take on a role in short distance travel. As economies evolve, fuel cells provide a role for green energy. Purchasing power constraints and air pollution issues stimulate the need for low cost, zero carbon transportation solutions.</p>
<p>Portable fuel cell vendors are strategically positioned to develop and implement solutions. Technology costs continue to decrease. Practical fuel solutions continue to develop. Experiments with portable fuel cell products are starting to take place in various parts of the world.</p>
<p>Nanotechnology is being used to implement a variety of portable fuel cell solutions. Many different nanotechnology techniques are being explored. One is of a silicon structure, approximately 400 microns deep, much thicker than the 10-micron depth of a membrane in a traditional PEM-based cell. This design is expected to enable a much larger reaction surface area, enabling high power in a small form-factor.</p>
<p>To compress more power into smaller volumes, researchers have begun to build fuel cells on the fuzzy frontier of nanotechnology. Silicon etching, evaporation, and other processes borrowed from chip manufacturers have been used to create tightly packed channel arrays to guide the flow of fuel through the cell.</p>
<p>The point is to pack a large catalytic surface area into a wafer-thin volume. This approach is evolving, going beyond two-dimensional aspects to gain more surface area. Methods improve the performance of nano-scale fuel cells.</p>
<p>Three-dimensional structures improve current electrocatalysts that have traditionally been expressed on a flat surface. Two dimensional catalysts give hundreds of microamps per square centimeter, while three dimensional catalysts increase the surface area by orders of magnitude.</p>
<p>Fuel channels are evolving in ready-made in a commonly available, porous alumina filters costing only about $1. The filter is riddled with neat, cylindrical holes only 200 nanometers in diameter, and was initially used in labs as a template for the growth of nanowires.</p>
<p>Nanowires can be grown in a platinum-copper alloy, then dissolving the copper by soaking the filter in nitric acid creates electrodes. In place of a solid nanowire, each hole is left with a porous platinum electrode. The partially dissolved wires are structurally complex, as befits their random nature, and have an enormous surface area for their size.</p>
<p>The market size for portable fuel cell power at $80.1 million in 2008 is estimated to reach $4.4 billion dollars by 2015. Existing markets are from mobile homes and PCs used remotely. Strong growth comes as hybrid fuel cell systems evolve to support thin film batteries. The fuel will come from renewable energy sources. <br /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though most people became wealthy because of the stock market, many have also failed in it because of poor strategy. Read this stock market tips to guarantee your success in the stock market sector.</p>
<p>When you are building your stock portfolio, it is important that you set some guidelines first. The trick to being successful is planning smart. Make sure that you research well and educate yourself about the latest brands and stock market basics. Try to see what others did to be successful and from your observations, set your own rules to follow—the kind of rules that will include how much money you are willing to invest in the stock market.</p>
<p>To be able to create a good and versatile stock market portfolio, keep things spread out well. Do not invest a huge amount of money in just a single basket. Be certain that you do not keep more than 3-percent of your money in one stock. Spread your money and invest them in several stocks to make sure you won’t lose your footing in the stock market sector when the going gets tough. The simple logic with these stock market tips is the more you spread your money; the better you will spread the risks. When one of your stocks dip, you won’t need to worry at all because it is only 3-percent and because you still have other stocks that are well.</p>
<p>Stock market trading is not for everyone but those who enjoy and those who are passionate with it will be last one standing in the long run. Aside from following stock market tips, it is very important that you use your own wisdom in selling and maintaining stocks. It is important that you play by your own rules and stick to it no matter what happens.</p>
<p>Success does not come easily when you are in the stock market sector. But when success comes, you should condition yourself to never be afraid of it. Do you have any idea how many people sell their stocks out of fear of falling out? It is better if you stay firm and ride with the risk because after all, how do you know how far you will go if you do not take risks? By taking risks, you will be able to find your way to success.</p>
<p>Also when it comes to the stock market sector, you must realize that there are never ending stock market tips and that learning never stops. The stock market sector is always facing changes that you should know how to adjust to. This would mean accepting losses and be willing to stand again when you fall and always be ready to win big.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2009, the global carbon market was approximately $136 billion. It is estimated that a global carbon market of $2 trillion can be established by 2020 if a legal binding global climate treaty is signed as well as a federal <a href="http://www.thelostring.com/2010/09/25/the-us-federal-emissions-system-to-drive-the-global-carbon-market/" target="_self">emission trading</a> system is established in the US.</p>
<p>In order to establish a strong carbon market in the US, &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_trading" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_trading?referer=');">cap and trade</a>&#8221; scheme was introduced under which a carbon emission limit (cap) is set for companies, which when unable to achieve, can buy allowances from other companies. But, this system is facing opposition from Republicans in the U.S. Senate and doubts persist whether the bill related to this system will pass this year. However, other regulatory measures and &#8220;cap and refund&#8221; system are seen as alternatives to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.</p>
<p>The US carbon market was worth $2.7 billion in 2009; less than 3% of the total carbon permits traded under EU&#8217;s program, which equaled $93.9 billion in the same year. Majority of the <a href="http://www.thelostring.com/" target="_blank">carbon market</a> in the US is derived through a 10-state cap and trade program in the northeast, known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) as well as offsets market, which accounted for $74 million in 2009.</p>
<p>This analysis was taken from a research paper published by GlobalData, <a href="http://www.researchviews.com/energy/clean-technology/Viewpoints.aspx?sector=ct&amp;DocID=10479" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.researchviews.com/energy/clean-technology/Viewpoints.aspx?sector=ct_amp_DocID=10479&amp;referer=');">follow this link to download the full Research Paper for free</a>.<span style="float: left;" ><a class="twitter-share-button"  data-via="" data-count="horizontal" data-related="" data-lang="en" data-url="http://www.thelostring.com/2010/09/25/the-us-federal-emissions-system-to-drive-the-global-carbon-market/" data-text="The US Federal Emissions System to Drive the Global Carbon Market" href="http://twitter.com/share?via=&#038;count=horizontal&#038;related=&#038;lang=en&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelostring.com%2F2010%2F09%2F25%2Fthe-us-federal-emissions-system-to-drive-the-global-carbon-market%2F&#038;text=The%20US%20Federal%20Emissions%20System%20to%20Drive%20the%20Global%20Carbon%20Market"  onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/share?via=_038_count=horizontal_038_related=_038_lang=en_038_url=http_3A_2F_2Fwww.thelostring.com_2F2010_2F09_2F25_2Fthe-us-federal-emissions-system-to-drive-the-global-carbon-market_2F_038_text=The_20US_20Federal_20Emissions_20System_20to_20Drive_20the_20Global_20Carbon_20Market&amp;referer=');">Tweet</a></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worldwide dental implants are poised to achieve significant growth as patients become aware of the health benefits achieved from having viable teeth. Dental implants are in the category of optional surgery and represent the type of consumer spending that is postponed in challenging economic environments.</p>
<p>The companies participating in the dental implant market have found ways to manage infection, providing a higher implant success rate. Implantable devices are more stable in the mouth, permitting fewer dental implant failures. 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. By age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth. With the number of Americans over 55 growing by 60% in the next 20 years there is plenty of U.S. market opportunity. The baby boomer generation buying power exceeds $2 trillion in 2009.</p>
<p>The leading six dental implant manufacturers control of the market is based on the need for marketing in this segment, with Nobel Biocare holding the number one market position and Straumann holding a share of almost one-fifth and ranking as the firm number-two player. A large number of small manufacturers earlier accounting for a third of the market have shrunk to 14% of it.</p>
<p>Dental implant market innovations are those that position the vendor companies to meet aesthetic demands and increase clinician productivity. Positioning for profitable business patient care delivery can be challenging for clinicians. Tooth loss, gum and bone disease affect millions of people worldwide, on every continent, in every age group. Globally, several hundred million people are missing one or more teeth. More than 40 million people are fully edentulous in the Western developed world. These numbers are substantially higher in Asia, Africa and other parts of the world.</p>
<p>Worldwide, weaknesses in the global economy and sagging consumer confidence have led to an unprecedented slowdown in the dental market. Reduced income has kept many patients away from the dentist. People with steady incomes fear losing their jobs and are not spending even if they can afford to. Elective procedures are being postponed.</p>
<p>General practitioners are tending to treat patients in house with conventional alternative treatments, rather than referring them for implant treatment, despite its superiority. Customers are reducing stocks. Dental labs are more hesitant to invest in dental equipment, such as CAD/CAM scanners.</p>
<p>Dental implant market innovations are those that position the vendor companies to meet aesthetic demands and increase clinician productivity. Positioning for profitable business patient care delivery can be challenging for clinicians. Tooth loss, gum and bone disease affect millions of people worldwide, on every continent, in every age group. Globally, several hundred million people are missing one or more teeth. More than 40 million people are fully edentulous in the Western developed world. These numbers are substantially higher in Asia, Africa and other parts of the world.</p>
<p>For 2008 the global dental implant market was 2.3 billion Euros. The market for crowns and bridges is 3 billion Euros. These estimates size the opportunity of the global restorative and esthetic dentistry market. Nobel Biocare is the clear market leader in this market.</p>
<p>The outlook for 2009 is one of a demanding market environment. Deteriorating economic conditions in most markets continue to impact dental implant markets because consumers have less discretionary income. Visibility in economic recovery time remains low.</p>
<p>Nanotechnology Impacts The Dental Implant Market One of the most active and important current areas of research and application of nanotechnology is in the field of life sciences and healthcare. Many industry and business analysts now expect nanotechnology to revolutionize the pharmaceutical, medical devices, diagnostics and imaging sectors with annual markets of billions of pounds likely within five-ten years.</p>
<p>According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Nanotechnology has begun to impact the dental implant market in a dramatic manner. By increasing the complexity of the surface topography with the addition of nano-scale calcium phosphate (CAP) crystals new capabilities are available to clinicians. Surface topography plays a determinant role in the bone bonding phenomenon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Through a discrete crystalline deposition (DCD™) Process in which nano-scale crystals of calcium phosphate are added to the BioMet 3i OSSEOTITE® Dual Acid Etched Surface, a topographic complexity at the sub-micron scale is established. Changes in the surface improve healing and represent dramatic breakthroughs in technology.</p>
<p>Smaller market participants are active in their national markets and compete mainly on price, with limited investments in R&amp;D, training, education, marketing and sales. In countries like Brazil, Russia and India these companies hold over 50% of the market. With the Internet evolving as a channel, larger participants gain market visibility and strategic advantage on return on investment for the dentist.</p>
<p>Expanding use of dental implants by dental surgeons and general practitioners indicates a growth market as soon as consumer confidence is stabilized.</p>
<p>Markets for dental implants at $3.4 billion in 2008 are anticipated to reach $8.1 billion by 2015, growing in response to demand for better teeth worldwide. The technology is achieving a maturity level that makes the implants last longer and work in a more reliable manner, stimulating demand from an aging population. This market is poised for rapid growth as soon as the global economy recovers. The technology is more mature, leading to implants that last longer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Electric vehicles are real. They come in a variety of styles and capabilities. The BMW features driving control and style. The Chinese BYD hybrid backed by Warren Buffet&#8217;s company has features that enable plug-in hybrid power train flexibility. It has a full battery-powered electric mode. The series-hybrid mode has an engine which drives a generator to recharge the batteries, acting as a rangeextender. There is a parallel hybrid mode, in which the engine and motor both provide propulsive power.</p>
<p>Electric vehicles represent a quantum shift in transportation. The design trajectories are varied; the opportunities are significant as a quantum shift occurs in what the vehicle basic functions are and how the vehicle works. The car companies that leverage the market opportunity to shift to a new paradyne are likely to succeed. There are others who merely try to migrate existing styles and designs to electric vehicles. Buggy whips come to mind.</p>
<p>The ability to plug a car into a hardened backyard set of batteries charged from a solar panel provides relief from gasoline spending. To have a second car, powered by a battery pack promises to provide growth of a new industry. The banks can loan against the car and the solar panel. Solar panels are evolving modular capability where they can be quickly installed and provide electricity for the car.</p>
<p>Investment in electric vehicle infrastructure is a priority. With countries seeking to invest in infrastructure that will provide economic growth, it is clear that special infrastructure for electric vehicles will stimulate growth from the private sector. Electric vehicle market segment is positioned for growth for vehicles used for local driving.</p>
<p>Worldwide nanotechnology thin film lithium-ion batteries are poised to achieve significant growth as units become more able to achieve deliver of power to electric vehicles efficiently. Less expensive lithium-ion batteries allow leveraging economies of scale and proliferation of devices into a wide range of applications. According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Economies of scale leverage the lithium-ion battery nanotechnology advances needed to make lithium-ion batteries competitive. Nanotechnology provided by lithium-ion research solves the issues poised by the need to store renewable energy. Lithium-ion batteries switch price reductions are poised to drive market adoption by making units affordable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nanotechnology results obtained in the laboratory are being translated into commercial products. The processes of translating the nanotechnology science into thin film lithium ion batteries are anticipated to be ongoing. The breakthroughs of science in the laboratory have only begun to be translated into life outside the lab, with a long way to go in improving the functioning of the lithium-ion batteries.</p>
<p>Unlike any other battery technology, thin film solid-state batteries show very high cycle life. Using very thin cathodes (0.05µm) batteries have been cycled in excess of 45,000 cycles with very limited loss in capacity. After 45,000 cycles, 95% of the original capacity remained.</p>
<p>Markets for electric vehicles at 685 units in 2008 are anticipated to reach 32.7 million autos shipped by 2015, growing in response to demand for a renewable energy powered vehicle that lowers the total cost of ownership by a significant amount. Lithium-ion batteries used in cell phones and PCs, and in cordless power tools are proving the technology to power electric vehicles. Early electric vehicles are being used as city cars, proving the feasibility of electric cars. Think in Norway has a viable manufacturing operation and 1,000 cars on the road. The large emerging markets are for hybrid and electric vehicles powered by renewable energy systems.</p>

<p>Breakthrough technology in electric vehicles brings advancements that provide customers with personal transportation choices never before available. Electric vehicles are real. They come in a variety of styles and capabilities. The BMW features driving control and style. The Chinese BYD hybrid backed by Warren Buffet&#8217;s company has features that enable plug-in hybrid power train flexibility. It has a full battery-powered electric mode. The series-hybrid mode has an engine which drives a generator to recharge the batteries, acting as a rangeextender. There is a parallel hybrid mode, in which the engine and motor both provide propulsive power.</p>
<p>Electric vehicles represent a quantum shift in transportation. The design trajectories are varied; the opportunities are significant as a quantum shift occurs in what the vehicle basic functions are and how the vehicle works. The car companies that leverage the market opportunity to shift to a new paradyne are likely to succeed. There are others who merely try to migrate existing styles and designs to electric vehicles. Buggy whips come to mind.</p>
<p>The ability to plug a car into a hardened backyard set of batteries charged from a solar panel provides relief from gasoline spending. To have a second car, powered by a battery pack promises to provide growth of a new industry. The banks can loan against the car and the solar panel. Solar panels are evolving modular capability where they can be quickly installed and provide electricity for the car.</p>
<p>Investment in electric vehicle infrastructure is a priority. With countries seeking to invest in infrastructure that will provide economic growth, it is clear that special infrastructure for electric vehicles will stimulate growth from the private sector. Electric vehicle market segment is positioned for growth for vehicles used for local driving.</p>
<p>Worldwide nanotechnology thin film lithium-ion batteries are poised to achieve significant growth as units become more able to achieve deliver of power to electric vehicles efficiently. Less expensive lithium-ion batteries allow leveraging economies of scale and proliferation of devices into a wide range of applications. According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, &#8220;Economies of scale leverage the lithium-ion battery nanotechnology advances needed to make lithium-ion batteries competitive. Nanotechnology provided by lithium-ion research solves the issues poised by the need to store renewable energy. Lithium-ion batteries switch price reductions are poised to drive market adoption by making units affordable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nanotechnology results obtained in the laboratory are being translated into commercial products. The processes of translating the nanotechnology science into thin film lithium ion batteries are anticipated to be ongoing. The breakthroughs of science in the laboratory have only begun to be translated into life outside the lab, with a long way to go in improving the functioning of the lithium-ion batteries.</p>
<p>Unlike any other battery technology, thin film solid-state batteries show very high cycle life. Using very thin cathodes (0.05µm) batteries have been cycled in excess of 45,000 cycles with very limited loss in capacity. After 45,000 cycles, 95% of the original capacity remained.</p>
<p>Markets for electric vehicles at 685 units in 2008 are anticipated to reach 32.7 million autos shipped by 2015, growing in response to demand for a renewable energy powered vehicle that lowers the total cost of ownership by a significant amount. Lithium-ion batteries used in cell phones and PCs, and in cordless power tools are proving the technology to power electric vehicles. Early electric vehicles are being used as city cars, proving the feasibility of electric cars. Think in Norway has a viable manufacturing operation and 1,000 cars on the road. The large emerging markets are for hybrid and electric vehicles powered by renewable energy systems.</p>
