Satyam to build digital car technology

-
Satyam Computer Services Ltd on Friday kick started its "India's digital car" project Hera FxV, a "technology demonstrator" aimed at attracting research and development in the automotive sector.

Hera FxV would help car makers convert a concept into technology and would help in reducing time to design products from 36 months to 18. The framework is expected to be ready in 24 months.

Satyam launched the initiative at a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) conference titled e-Automotive R&D 2007: The Opportunities Ahead.

Satyam Computer Services chairman B. Ramalinga Raju said, "Now the time has come for India Inc to go beyond being a services outsourcing destination and get into the league of IP led innovation driven services and thereby being acknowledged as the global R&D, design and innovation hub." The digital car project is the effort of a consortium of different players like educational institutions and auto component majors, with Satyam acting as the integrator.

Hera FxV would provide research support services to global automotive industries in the area of alternate fuels, hybrid engines, virtual test drive solutions, and other emerging areas like infotainment and infotronics.

"Satyam would provide technology framework, infrastructure solutions in design, infotronics, collaborative engineering, digital manufacturing and supply chain solutions," said Mr Subu D. Subramanian, Satyam director and senior vice-president, manufacturing and automotive business group.

Mr Subramanian, who is also chairman-CII (SR) ICT Forum, said, "India has the opportunity to be the global R&D, design and innovation hub for the automo-tive industry with devices becoming more intelligent driven by more and more electronics and software components. We would like to facilitate this integration of design and manufacturing capabilities."

The consortium would include industry bodies such as AIAG, OESA and SAE, academic institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science and Purdue University and industry players, he said.

Too many pro wrestlers dying young ATLANTA (AP) -- Everything is planned. The high-flying moves. The outlandish story lines. The crackpot characters. One thing isn't in the script: the staggering number of pro wrestlers who die young. Chris Benoit was the latest, taking his own life at age 40 after killing his wife and son in a grisly case that might be the blackest eye yet for the pseudo-sport already ridiculed as nothing more than comic books come to life, a cult-like outlet for testosterone-raging' young males to cheer on their freakishly bulked-up heroes. But the tenacious, grim-faced grappler known as the "Canadian Crippler" was hardly alone in heading to an early grave. The very same weekend Benoit killed his family, the body of old tag-team partner Biff Wellington (real name: Shayne Bower) was found in his bed, dead at 42. A couple of weeks ago, former women's champion "Sensational" Sherri Martel passed away at her mother's home in Alabama. Sh

The superintendent of police of Bhubaneswar, Mr Amitabh Thakur, said some members of the outfit had assembled outside the airport to “highlight the issue that no player from Orissa has been selected for the national team.” One of them turned violent. The Indian team flew into Bhubaneswar on Monday afternoon ahead of the second ODI against the West Indies, to be played at Cuttack on January 24. As the players and support staff came out to catch the team bus, a fanatic forced himself through the secu rity barricade and “stumbled on” Chappell. Orissa Cricket Association council member Kamalanath Pande, who was an eyewitness, said the attacker was seen “trying to take a knock at Chappell.” But the latter “showed quick reflexes, and ducked.” The police came to Chappell’s rescue almost immediately, and the attacker was caught and taken into custo
