Sneak Peak: General Motor’s EN-V Concept Electric Car

cpxstanford — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:53:46 +0000

GM has unveiled an inspirational forward-thinking new vehicle – the EN-V – and you can see it for yourself at this year’s CPX!

EN-V, which is short for Electric Networked-Vehicle, maintains the core principle of personal mobility – freedom – while helping remove the motor vehicle from the environmental debate and redefining design leadership. EN-V is a two-seat electric vehicle that was designed to alleviate concerns surrounding traffic congestion, parking availability, air quality and affordability for tomorrow’s cities.

Fast Facts about the EN-V:
o Leverages electrification and connectivity, creating a new class of personal urban mobility
o Connectivity separates EN-V from other electric vehicles
o Autonomous driving, parking and retrieval with advanced sensors and drive-by-wire systems
o Uses electricity supplied by a lithium-ion phosphate battery and can be recharged using ordinary outlets
o Maximum speed of 40 kph and range of 40 kilometers, which is more than required by the average urban commuter
o One-sixth the size of a regular passenger car and a 1.74-meter turning radius
o Two-wheel drive, accommodates two passengers
o One-fifth to one-sixth the price of a conventional motor vehicle
o One-third to one-fourth the operating cost of a passenger car
o Can be driven 24,000 kilometers for RMB 840 (based on current electricity rates in China)

For more information on the car, visit GM’s EN-V Fast Facts website.

Sneak Peak at 2011 Exhibitor: ThinkGum®

cpxstanford — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:50:48 +0000

Wouldn’t it be cool if improving your memory was as simple as chewing a piece of gum? Although it may seem too good to be true, Think Gum® does just that. When chewed while learning and recalling new information, Think Gum® servers as a cognitive clue, allowing enhanced memory. In addition, Think Gum® contains a healthy boost of caffeine and a blend of herbal extracts shown in multiple studies to increase cerebral blood flow and cognitive function.

Think Gum® will be giving out free samples and discussing their latest research study results at the CPX, so don’t “forget” to stop by.

Sneak Peak at 2011 Exhibitor: Rescue Reel

cpxstanford — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 01:29:06 +0000

Did you know that if you work in the top floor of a sky scraper that in case of an emergency a fire ladder won’t reach your floor and, most likely, a helicopter can’t land on your building’s roof?

Rescue Reel is a personal escape device developed after 9/11 that allows someone of any size or weight to exit a building safely and unassisted. The Rescue Reel device was the subject of a recent TED talk in Long Beach by its founder, Kevin R. Stone, MD a San Francisco orthopaedic surgeon.

Learn more about Rescue Reel here and come see the product in person at the CPX.
