LG Electronics introduces P-Star1 5-door refrigerator into Nigeria
This concern is what sparked the introduction of the P-Star1, 5 Door Refrigerator by LG Electronics, a global leader in Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics. Aimed at reinventing the concept of food hygiene and elevating consumer lifestyle, LG Electronics new P-Star1 5 Door Refrigerator which comes with an Inverter Linear compressor helps keep food fresher for longer and it is also backed up with 10 year warranty on the compressor.
LG’s P-Star1 5 Door refrigerators with the innovative Hygiene Fresh+ TM automatically cleans and purifies its internal air ensuring that the air inside is kept fresh and hygienic. Speaking on the new product, General Manger, Home Appliances division, LG Electronics, West Africa operations, Mr. Hyunwoo Jung said: “In the pursuit of a higher quality of life, over the years LG refrigerators have been popular with consumers of all ages.
The LG P-Star1 with a new design concept totally changes the perception of refrigerator space management; it is a scientific intelligent storage systems that enable fruits and vegetables stay fresher for longer. It also comes with the Inverter Linear Compressor as well as the Hygiene Fresh+TM feature”. Unlike other appliances, refrigerators run 24 hours a day; this makes them the main energy culprit in most homes, in other hand it also a great place to achieve energy savings through innovation.
The heart of a refrigerator is its compressor, which circulates the cool air and maintains refrigerant pressure. In a conventional compressor, there are four points of friction. In LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor, there is only a single point of friction, which increases overall energy efficiency, reduces vibration-related noise levels and makes the entire compressor more durable. For many consumers, real smart appliances should be able to bring more convenient experience as well as a green, healthy and freewheeling lifestyle. LG P-Star1 comes with a smart storage system, to provide consumers with a wide range of food storage solutions.

Introducing USB Flash Drives For Smartphones! [See Photos]
With mobile devices like smartphones and tablets becoming an integral part of our life, even replacing the PC for some, the need for sufficient storage space has now become more critical than optional. This is further heightened by the increasing size of apps and games as developers want to utilize the high resolution, pixel packed displays of new mobile devices and the growing size of videos and pictures shot through high-resolution cameras of these devices.
Unfortunately, even though smartphone cameras are now capable of recording 4K videos, a number of premium smartphones do not include a slot for expanding storage.
Thanks to USB on-the-go, it’s easy to plug in conventional storage drives like pen drives. However, with the need for adapters and cables, the process is a bit cumbersome. To make it more seamless, storage solution companies have now introduced USB drives that feature a micro-USB port in addition to supporting USB on-the-go functionality. Storage solutions company Strontium offers on-the-go USB drives under its Nitro product line for tablets and smartphones that support USB-on-the-go functionality.
The drive sports a compact form factor and features a standard USB port (USB 2.0) on one end and a micro-USB port on the other to plug into mobile devices without the need for an additional cable.
The drive is available in 8, 16, 32 and 64GB storage capacities, with prices starting at Rs 490 and going up to Rs 3,000. The USB on-the-go drive offers write speed of up to 5MB per second and read speed of 15MB per second. One of the biggest advantages of USB on-the-go drive is that it can be used for expanding storage capacity of devices that don’t feature external storage slots.
However, as we mentioned, the mobile devices need to offer support for USB on-the-go function. So, its application is limited to Android devices and PCs, but not Windows Phone and iOS gadgets.
Windows Phone does not support USB on-the-go and iOS devices use a proprietary connector. In our use, the Strontium Nitro USB OTG drive worked as promised. We did not encounter any problems while transferring data from a PC to an Android phone and vice versa.
The only thing that bothered us was that the drive heats up after a brief period of use. The company informed this was due to the drive’s design. The temperature goes up to as much as 40-42 degrees, but would not damage the drive or the smart device. The company elaborated that the design of Strontium OTG was based on half-size CoB or micro CoB (Chip on Board), which causes the heating.
The heating effect was only noticeable when the product was used with an Android device and not a laptop or PC.
“We conducted a study on the heating effect with a Samsung smartphone and found that the phone’s unusual behaviour was responsible for the heating effect because even at the time when there was no operation in execution, the phone was still accessing the OTG which eventually heated it up,” a company spokesperson stated.
The drive’s metal casing was also responsible for the heating effect and the company is looking at other possible solutions to overcome the thermal effect, he added. Strontium is also working on a USB 3.0 version of the Nitro OTG drive.
SanDisk, Kingston and Sony also offer similar products. SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive is available in 16GB to 64GB capacities in the price range of Rs 1,199 to Rs 3,800. Kingston’s DataTravler microDuo drives are available at a price of Rs 1,200 for the 16GB drive and Rs 2,200 for the 32GB drive.
Sony’s USB on-the-go drive costs Rs 1,399 (16GB) and Rs 2,633(32GB).
UNBELIEVABLE:- Charge Your Phone By Shouting At It – See How It Works
Charge your phone by SHOUTING at it: Gadget converts sound waves from speech into five volts of energy for your mobile.
As the class Governor of my department at Yaba college Of technology, It seems phone batteries always die at the same moment you need to make an important call like calling a Lecturer , before class or after class.
But while shouting at your mobile in frustration might seem pointless, a new gadget could soon mean your screams won’t be in vain.
Researchers in London have created a new technology that uses sound, such as chants at a football ground or chatter in a coffee shop, to charge up mobile phones.
Their prototype device, which is about the size of a mobile phone, uses zinc oxide to convert vibrations caused by sound into electricity.
The invention was inspired by previous research at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), which found playing pop and rock music improved the performance of solar cells.
This was because the sound vibrations triggered the movement of material in the solar cell that caused it to improve efficiency by up to 40 per cent.
Developing this research further, Nokia worked with the QMUL team to create an energy-harvesting prototype that could be used to charge a mobile phone using everyday background noise.
Nokia worked with the QMUL team to create an energy-harvesting prototype that could be used to charge a mobile phone using everyday background noise. Pictured here is the zinc oxide used in the device.
The team used the key properties of zinc oxide, a material that when squashed or stretched creates a voltage by converting energy from motion into electrical energy, in the form of nanorods.
The nanorods can be coated onto various surfaces in different locations making the energy harvesting versatile.
When this surface is squashed or stretched, the nanorods then generate a high voltage.
The nanorods respond to vibration and movement created by everyday sound, such as our voices.
Electrical contacts on both sides of the rods are then used to harvest the voltage to charge a phone.
In order to make it possible to produce these nanogenerators at scale, the scientists found innovative ways to cut costs in the production process.
Firstly, they developed a process whereby they could spray on the nanorod chemicals – almost like nanorod graffiti – to cover a plastic sheet in a layer of zinc oxide.
When put into a mixture of chemicals and heated to just 90°C, the nanorods grew all over the surface of the sheet.
Secondly, gold is traditionally used as an electrical contact, but the team were able to produce a method of using cheap and cheerful aluminium foil instead.
The final device is the same size as a Nokia Lumia 925 and generates five volts, which is enough to charge a phone.
‘Being able to keep mobile devices working for longer, or do away with batteries completely by tapping into the stray energy that is all around us is an exciting concept,’ said Dr Joe Briscoe from QMUL.
‘We hope that we have brought this technology closer to viability.’
