    The Smach Z Will use Click-ARM technology

    Click ARM Technology – The Tech That is Powering A New Age of Modular Devices

    The need for modular devices has fueled yet another modular platform which in turn will offer users a wide variety of great options. We all dream for an era where devices are no longer disposed of, instead they can be reused in meaningful ways and not seen as replaceable or used up until they have provided utmost value to their owners.



    These devices will have a very long and useful life, even after death they can be recycled and continue to add value through an all new updated state.

    This is the vision behind modular devices, instead of throwing away your old smart devices adding to an ever growing problem of electronic waste, we keep them, upgrade only the parts that are needed, when we don’t want a specific part, we simply give it away to someone who needs it.

    It is with this vision that Click ARM (Advanced Removable Modules) was born.



    Created by ImasD Technologies in collaboration with Samsung and Circular devices, “Click ARM is a modular platform of hardware and firmware for the development and manufacture of devices. It offers scalability and enormous economic savings both in research and in product development and manufacture.

    The Click ARM modular platform is inspired by the spirit of the Compatible PC and by the Wintel platform, models that have allowed enterprises their won software and hardware solutions for the market of computers compatible with these standards. Until today there was no standardized alternative equivalent in the world of mobile devices based on high integration embedded solutions (mobiles, tablets and other mobile devices)”

    In simpler terms, Click ARM is the technology that a new set of modular devices and modules are based on. Devices that are already utilizing this technology are: The Puzzle phone, Puzzlecluster and the Click ARM One tablet. The modules created for Click ARM technology can be used interchangeably between all Click ARM powered devices.



    Click ARM is a scalable multi-architectural system; it is compatible with various levels of SOCs ranging from Cortex M3 processors to high performance Samsung Exynos SOCs. Click ARM is also an open hardware platform. Unlike other modular platforms, you can make custom devices that have completely different functions that also use Click ARM’s modular technology and modules.

    One current advantage of the Click ARM modular platform over the modular platform that Google is currently working on is the thickness of the end product. ImasD noted that it is possible to get “Completely functional devices of only 4.5mm” thick.

    Initially, all modules are being developed by ImasD, but Click ARM technology utilizes Pci Express connectors in connecting modules which makes it possible for other hardware manufacturers to easily integrate existing compatible technologies in Click ARM modules. Click ARM also allows for a different Linux based operating system to be installed in memory of separate core modules.
    This allows users to have multiple core modules each having a separate OS which can be booted when connected to a Click ARM device

    With already a modular tablet the Click ARM One, now available for sale along with the Puzzle phone and the Puzzle Cluster set to be released in 2015, it seems just a matter of time before Click ARM technology becomes adopted by the masses.

    Design partnership for UK High-Speed 2

    Spanish and UK firms team up to bid for High-Speed 2 project design



    UK consulting engineer Capita Symonds has formed a partnership with Spanish engineer Ineco to bid for design and consultancy contracts on the UK’s proposed High-Speed 2 (HS2) rail project.

    The move follows the recent announcement by Philip Hammond, the UK Secretary of State for Transport, signalling the start of the procurement process for a development partner and for external contractors to assist in the engineering and environmental work for a Ł32 billion scheme comprising a high speed rail line between London, Birmingham and the north of England.

    Ineco has been responsible for the development of 6,000km of high-speed rail line in Spain including the Madrid-Seville and the Madrid-Barcelona lines. The company is also developing high-speed rail lines across other parts of Europe as well as in Asia and South America.

    Capita Symonds designed the Royal Oak and Woolwich and Plumstead portals on London's Crossrail scheme. The company has also worked on
    a number of other major transport infrastructure projects including the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system in Delhi and the Řresund Tunnel between Denmark and Sweden.

    Tim Healey, Director of Civil Engineering at Capita Symonds, said: "I am delighted that we are able to build on our 30 years of experience in the rail industry and most recently our successful design delivery for London's Crossrail schemes. Our links with Ineco will further develop our offer to provide High-Speed 2 with a team that has successfully delivered the most extensive high-speed rail network in Europe at the lowest cost per route kilometre anywhere in the world."

    Jose Anguita, International Director of Ineco, said: "I am very pleased to have reached this agreement with Capita Symonds. We look forward to sharing with the UK our experience of delivering high performing high-speed rail projects throughout Spain."

    High-Speed 2 commitment

    In 2009, the former Labour Government of the UK announced the proposal for a second high-speed rail line linking London, north to Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. In a series of cuts to public spending in October 2010, the current Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition Government of David Cameron stayed committed to rail projects at the expense of road developments, and confirmed a spend of Ł750 million on high-speed rail up to 2014.

    Following the announcement, three contracts were awarded to begin the planning and design process. A consortium of Mott MacDonald, Scott Wilson and Grimshaw was awarded design of the section from Birmingham to Manchester, while Arup will work on the Birmingham to Leeds leg. Arup had already been appointed for feasibility studies for the London to Birmingham line and environmental consultant Temple Group is awarded the contract for environmental assessment of the Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds legs. Early estimates envisage more than 55km of underground alignment on the routes.

    Repsol performs the largest oil find in 30 years in USA

    Repsol announces major onshore oil discovery in Alaska’s North Slope

    Repsol says it has made one of the biggest conventional onshore oil discoveries in the US for decades on Alaska’s North Slope.

    The Spanish group said the latest drilling at its Nanushuk play had extended previous discoveries by 20 miles and increased estimated resources to 1.2bn barrels of recoverable light crude oil.

    The discovery promises to help breath fresh life into Alaska’s North Slope oilfields where production has been in decline for three decades. ConocoPhillips also announced a big find there in January, which raised hopes of a new wave of development.

    Repsol said positive results from drilling at its Horseshoe-1 and 1A wells this winter added to earlier finds in the adjacent Pikka field and together represented the biggest discovery of its kind in the US for 30 years. It aimed to start production from Pikka in 2021, with a potential rate approaching 120,000 barrels a day.

    The Spanish group has been exploring the Nanushuk play since 2008, for the past six years in partnership with privately-held Armstrong Energy. Repsol holds a 25 per cent stake in the Horseshoe discovery and 49 per cent in Pikka, with the remaining interest held by Armstrong, which also has operator rights.

    Zero2Infinity conducts first flight test of Bloostar balloon-assisted launcher

    Spanish high-altitude balloon specialist Zero2Infinity completed its first test flight of Bloostar, a balloon-assisted small-satellite launcher four years in development.



    During the test, conducted March 1 from a vessel a few kilometers off Spain’s coast, a stratospheric balloon lifted the Bloostar vehicle to a 25-kilometer altitude before its vacuum-optimized engine ignited.

    The Barcelona-based company announced March 13 that the test proved Zero 2 Infinity’s ability to perform a controlled ignition in space, stabilize the rocket and monitor the launch sequence. The test also allowed Zero 2 Infinity to demonstrate Bloostar’s telemetry systems in space and recover the vehicle at sea following parachute deployment.

    Designed to carry small satellites to low Earth orbit, Bloostar is a three-stage vehicle (not counting the balloon) equipped with rocket engines that burn a mixture of liquid oxygen and methane. During a standard mission, Bloostar’s balloon will carry it above an estimated 95 percent of the atmosphere before its propulsion stages activate, enabling it to deliver a 75-kilogram satellite to a 600-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

    Zero 2 Infinity CEO Jose Mariano Lopez Urdiales, who sometimes refers to the hybrid vehicle as a “rockoon,” told SpaceNews that Bloostar’s rockets only fired for a few seconds during the March 1 test; reaching a high apogee was not a goal. Zero 2 Infinity has a series of tests planned both on the ground and at near-space altitudes between 20 and 100 kilometers going forward.

    “This was a very early test, but we were happy with the results and it’s an important step moving from computer graphics and engineering and calculations to actual hardware,” he said.



    Zero 2 Infinity started on Bloostar in 2013. The company has been deploying high-altitude balloons for about seven years, but made a move into the launch sector when demand for small satellites increased. Zero 2 Infinity also has a program called Bloon for passenger-carrying balloon trips to near space, but Lopez Urdiales said the company is currently focusing on Bloostar.

    Lopez Urdiales said Bloostar fired only one engine of its seven engines during the March 1 test. The final version of the vehicle, he said, will carry 13 engines — six on the first stage, six on the second stage and one on the third stage.

    “We have a long list of test flights that we need to perform,” he said. “Our next big milestone will be crossing the Karman line with a ‘rockoon,’ with a rocket being launched from a balloon.” The Karman line, a point 100 kilometers above sea level, marks the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and space.

    Lopez Urdiales said recovering the prototype after its March 1 launch allows Zero 2 Infinity to retrieve onboard SIM cards containing a bigger trove of flight data than what the vehicle sent back through telemetry. The recovery is also an important step for reusability which, while not part of Zero 2 Infinity’s main business plan, is factored into Bloostar’s design.

    Zero 2 Infinity says it has letters of intent worth a total of 250 million euros ($266.4 million) from customers that want to launch with Bloostar. Lopez Urdiales said the launcher’s development is financed through a combination of outside investment and revenue generated from Zero 2 Infinity’s existing balloon business.

    Ultra Magic, a hot air balloon manufacturer, is an industrial investor in Bloostar, though Zero 2 Infinity doesn’t purchase its balloons from them. Lopez Urdiales said Ultra Magic is more interested in the propulsion technology side of Bloostar.

    Zero 2 Infinity plans to have its first commercial Bloostar launch in 2019, Lopez Urdiales said, after a final test campaign of four rockoon launches that year. Lopez Urdiales said the company wants a minimum of one successful full demonstration mission out of the four before launching with customer payloads.

    Lopez Urdiales said Zero 2 Infinity recently created a subsidiary in the United States, and might do some test flights from U.S. ranges out over the sea. The majority of tests though, will be in Europe, he said.

    Avangrid Takes Iberdrola’s Offshore Wind Expertise and Wallet to US

    With the United States only starting to chart its wind turbine arrays installed at sea, Iberdrola has been developing these projects across Europe for a while, and has now open doors to the American offshore wind sector through its US renewable energy division Avangrid Renewables, which won the rights to build an offshore wind farm off Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on 16 March.



    Aside from its offshore wind expertise, Iberdrola possesses a vast renewable energy investment budget as well.

    Oregon-headquartered Avangrid Renewables already has more than USD 10 billion of operating assets totalling over 6GW of owned and controlled wind and solar generation in 20 states. However, when it comes to offshore renewable energy development, the company will draw on the expertise its parent company has gained in Europe.

    “Between our leading position in the United States, including North Carolina, where we operate a wind farm near Elizabeth City, along with the expertise and experience of our international affiliate, Iberdrola Group, in developing offshore wind in Europe, we felt we were well positioned to secure this bid,” James P. Torgerson, CEO of AVANGRID, said. “We are confident in our ability to leverage those channels, along with our supply chain knowledge and our development and transmission expertise, in order to deliver a competitively priced product to our eventual customers.”

    Avangrid Renewables was also one of the bidders for an offshore wind lease off New York at the auction held in December 2016, when the lease rights were won by Statoil after 33 rounds and the Norwegian company agreeing to pay almost USD 42.5 million.

    During the New York auction, Avangrid Renewables has shown its deep pocket and interest in developing US offshore wind projects, as the company was placing bids to the 30th round, in which it offered USD 32 million, withdrawing from the bidding after the asking price in the following round was set to USD 36.5 million.

    Its Spain-based mother company, Iberdrola, has earmarked vast budget for renewable energy projects, and the company announced in February that it is increasing its net investments by EUR 1 billion, from EUR 24 billion planned at the beginning of 2016 to EUR 25 billion, with 42% of the amount earmarked for renewable energy projects, and most of them located in the United States.

    In the UK, Iberdrola, through its subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables, operates the 389MW West of Duddon Sands offshore wind farm (operational since 2014), and is developing the East Anglia offshore wind projects, with the 714MW East Anglia ONE nearing construction phase and East Anglia TWO and THREE currently in the feasibility study phase.

    The first wind turbine at the company’s German 350MW offshore wind farm, Wikinger, was installed at the end of January, and the wind farm is scheduled to be operational by the end of this year.

    Iberdrola is also developing a 496MW offshore wind farm in France, for which it is awaiting construction permit.

    EXPAL Completes Destruction of Belarussian Anti-Personnel Mines

    On 5 April, a ceremony was held at the mobile munitions destruction facility created by EXPAL within the 4870th Engineer Ammunition Base at Rechitsa in the Republic of Belarus to mark successful completion of the destruction of over 3.4 million munitions, including PFM-1 anti-personnel mines. The occasion marked Belarussian fulfilment of its commitment to the 1999 Ottawa Treaty banning the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of ant-personnel mines and mandating their destruction.



    In attendance were Col. Andrey Kurakov, Head of Engineers on the Belarussian General Staff – project coordinator; Nikolay Ovsianko, Deputy Head of the Department of International Security and Arms Control, Belarussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ambassador Andrea Wiktorin, Head of the EU Delegation to Belarus; and Adm. (Ret.) Francisco Torrente, Chairman of the EXPAL Board of Directors, all gathered to witness the destruction of the last 78 mines.



    EXPAL designed and developed a mobile plant specifically for this project that includes a cold detonation chamber unique in the world, with special processes to treat the gases generated and to recover the scrap. EXPAL’s experience and know-how in demilitarisation have been key to the success of the project, which has complied with all European and Belarussian safety and environmental standards. The plant has enabled EXPAL to minimize both physical risk and the cost of transport for this type of munition: the facility is now available to be relocated for similar demilitarization projects.

    This has nothing to do with building the world (or maybe yes). But it's curious.

    The YUGE yacht that failed to launch: Trump paid a Spanish company $170,000 to build a 420-foot luxury vessel - but pulled the plug when his hotels and casinos went bankrupt


    Long before he was elected president of the United States, businessman Donald Trump commissioned a Spanish firm to design the largest and most beautiful yacht in the world. Over the following months, Jaime Oliver and his son Ińigo built up a close personal relationship with the future White House resident. Together they worked on the conceptual design of the Trump Princess, from the first sketches through to the completed blueprints. The company was paid $170,000 to design the opulent 420-foot luxury vessel. Ultimately, however, the project was abandoned at a time when several of Trump’s hotels and casinos had filed for bankruptcy.

    Long before he was elected president of the United States, Donald Trump commissioned a Spanish firm to design the larges yacht in the world. Trump is pictured with firm's design team in Trump Tower in 1993


    Over the next few months, a conceptual design of the Trump Princess, from the first sketches through to the completed blueprints were finished


    The company was paid $170,000 to design the opulent 420-foot luxury vessel for Trump


    Trump knew exactly what he wanted. He wrote in a letter to Jaime Oliver (above with Trump in 1993), saying he was interested in building not only the largest yacht in the world, but at the same time, the most beautiful.


    Over a period of several months, from the first sketches through to the completed blueprints, the billionaire followed the work on the design of the Trump Princess with close interest


    Oliver Design was paid $170,000 for the conceptual design and even began talks with Spanish shipyard Astilleros Espańoles, now Navantia, about construction.


    The firm’s archives still contain the plans of a ship which had four decks, a heliport, luxury split-level suites, sophisticated lounges, a swimming pool, hot tubs and a vast gallery decorated with palm trees which could have hosted any type of function.


    Trump sent the letter in regards to getting the yacht built in 1993


    Soon after, Trump notified Oliver Design that the yacht would not finally be built. According to some sources, in early 1994, his companies had a combined corporate debt of $3.5 billion dollars and he had personal debts of around $900 million


    But as a testament to that failed operation, Oliver Design's files still hold the sketches of what would have been the most spectacular and sophisticated private yacht of its time, conceived by a small Spanish firm for a man who would one day become President of the United States.

    iGo3D and Grupo Sicnova 3D Team Up to Enter Professional 3D Printing Market with Additive Manufacturing Solutions

    In the spring of 2015, European 3D printing solutions provider iGo3D, headquartered in Germany, entered into a distribution partnership with Formlabs, in order to expand distribution of the Form 1+ 3D printer in the German market. Now, the company is announcing a new partnership with Spanish 3D printing solutions provider Grupo Sicnova 3D. The two companies have taken their first step into the professional 3D printing market, which is where both believe that desktop 3D printers will be used in the industry, and created a common brand together, called AMS (Additive Manufacturing Solutions), which will focus on vertical markets. The two created the AMS-Print Factory Division, which will help AMS arrive at its goal of giving manufacturing companies 3D print factory solutions, using professional-quality desktop 3D printers from Formlabs, Ultimaker, and MakerBot.



    Diogo Quental, CEO of iGo3D, told 3DPrint.com, “The simplicity of producing an object with 3D Printing already made this technology a must in prototyping. Its use in manufacturing, however, was still low, mainly due to the initial low reliability and speed. Today, however, we reached such a high quality in professional desktop 3D printers that we can build a 3D Print Factory solution perfectly customised to our needs, and for a fraction of the investment. In the coming months we expect the corporate market to start investing in small solutions and then gradually scale up and integrate them in the manufacturing process.”


    Grupo Sicnova, which memorably scanned and 3D printed all of the villagers in the Spanish town of Torrequebradilla in 2015, right after unveiling its JCR 1000 industrial 3D printer, is also a leading 3D printer distributor, like iGo3D. Both companies feel a certain responsibility to teach others how to take advantage of the potential that 3D printing offers.

    “The great challenge of 3D printing is to go from rapid prototyping to rapid manufacturing. For that we need greater productivity, meaning: reliability, printing speed, payback and ease of use. The capacity to manufacture many different parts in one day with a price that is competitive with traditional manufacturing for productions of several hundreds of units is the great solution that AMS – Print Factory wants to offer to the European market,” said Angel LLavero, CEO of Grupo Sicnova 3D.

    AMS-Print Factory is the AMS department specifically focused on providing 3D printing manufacturing solutions. 3D printing factories are the perfect solution for production on-demand for short manufacturing runs. As we know, additive manufacturing doesn’t require multiple tools hanging around in a workshop, and can offer complete freedom of design, so it’s expected that many major manufacturers will begin to apply 3D printing solutions in new product lines. This allows companies to quickly test the demand for 3D printed products, as the time-to-market is reduced, and only make a relatively minor investment in a process that could turn out to be a whole way of life.

    A good example is Dremel, which is already nationally recognized for its line of handheld rotary tools. The company embraced 3D printing technology so fervently that it even began manufacturing and selling its own 3D printers, and focuses most of its 3D printing efforts on education.

    “We still don’t know exactly how much of the traditional manufacturing can be substituted by 3D Print Factories, but there are two things we know: 1st – it has for sure the potential to substitute a very substantial part of the manufacturing process; and 2nd – this substitution is extremely easy to implement and control. Major manufacturers should start considering now these solutions in their core business, and not only in prototyping as was happening so far,” said Quental. “We’ve been talking about a 3D revolution, but I think we were only in the warm-up. The real change is to start now.”

    iGo3D and Grupo Sicnova will be attending Hannover Messe, the world’s largest industrial fair, later this month. The fair runs from April 24 through April 28, and the AMS-Print Factory will be showcasing its solutions. 3D printer farms provide professional-level offerings for low-volume manufacturing, as companies like Voodoo Manufacturing demonstrate. The offerings from AMS will serve as another range of options in this partner-driven endeavor. Discuss in the AMS forum at 3DPB.com.
