Menschen mit Hörminderung tun sich im Kino und im Theater schwer. Künftig verspricht eine Fraunhofer-Technologie Abhilfe, die in zwei Apps der Sennheiser Streaming Technologies GmbH integriert wurde: Betroffene können damit den Klang optimal an ihre Bedürfnisse anpassen und das Geschehenüber Kopfhörer verfolgen.

Mehr Strom für Flugzeugküchen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2015/6/1 7:00)
|
Flugzeugküchen sind Stromfresser, doch die Energie im Flieger ist begrenzt. Aggregate könnten künftig helfen: In einem Trolley in den Küchen untergebracht, liefern sie zusätzlich Strom?und entkoppeln somit die Energieversorgung der Kabine und der Küchen von der des restlichen Flugzeugs. Auf der Messe Paris Air Show vom 15. bis 21. Juni wird die neue Technologie präsentiert (Halle 1, Stand G316).

2015-2016 Season Announcement
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/5/30 9:59)
|
We are thrilled to announce that the TDPS 2015-2016 season includes Chekhov?s poignant and amusing classic The Cherry Orchard , Mac Wellman?s darkly hilarious A Murder of Crows , about the end of the world and other minor tragedies, and Culture Clash?s freewheeling Chavez Ravine , that tells the true story of the displacement of Mexican-American communities from the eventual site of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Also on our lineup is Berkeley Dance Project 2016 , featuring work by Bay Area-based choreographers Katie Faulkner, Amara Tabor-Smith and Lisa Wymore. For your enjoyment, we have put together a video featuring each director talking about their production. We will also be sharing more news about next year?s student-produced work, guest artists and public events over the coming months. We look forward to welcoming you to the theater next year!
The Cherry Orchard
Written by Anton Chekhov
Directed by Lura Dolas

Can you briefly talk about your career journey from graduation until now?
After graduation, I lived in SF for a couple years, dancing project to project, living in the Haight and working at a raw food restaurant. I wanted to continue my studies, so I went to The Ohio State University from 2007-10 for an M.F.A. in Dance. I returned to SF, working with Joe Goode, Lizz Roman, and started to make my own work professionally. In 2011, I moved to Tel Aviv, Israel for a year and studied with Ohad Naharin/ Batsheva Dance Company to pursue becoming a Certified Gaga instructor. In the Fall of 2012, I moved back to SF and began teaching Gaga, making more of my own work through my company, James Graham Dance Theatre, and ...

May Faculty Spotlight: Margo Hall, Domenique Lozano and Lisa Anne Porter
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/5/27 3:17)
|
This month, the Bay Area community is in for a treat when three TDPS lecturers take the stage to star in Shakespeare’s classic comedy of mistaken identity, desire and intrigue. Margo Hall, Domenique Lozano and Lisa Anne Porter have the rare opportunity to collaborate in a predominately-female version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at California Shakespeare Theater (May 27-June 21). ?It?s probably my favorite comedy of Shakespeare,? says Lozano, ?because I think the journeys that the characters take are extraordinary. It starts massively tragically but ends with weddings. And it has the right combination of comedy and poignancy.?
Considering the comedy?s popularity, it is not a surprise that Hall, Lozano and Porter all have history with Twelfth Night . Hall, who plays foppish Sir Andrew Aguecheek, has seen the show performed many times, but this is her first time acting in it, whereas Lozano has performed in three separate productions of the piece, as well as directed ...

May Student Spotlight: Guillermo Ornelas
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/5/27 2:47)
|
Guillermo Ornelas is a second-year transfer student double majoring in Theater and Performance Studies and Sociology. He is passionate about researching and sharing the experiences of people from marginalized identities. For his senior thesis, Guillermo is researching performances of masculinity in theater.
Guillermo Ornelas always wanted to attend UC Berkeley, primarily because of the Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies? offerings in both practice and performance studies. ?My interest is in human behavior and studying the social aspect of theater so it is a perfect fit,? he says. Now a transfer student in his second year on campus, Guillermo is double majoring in Theater and Performance Studies and Sociology. ?One of the most important things I?ve learned here at Berkeley is new ways of thinking about how we divide up our resources, and how some people end up being marginalized as a result,? he shares. ?Because of my background and growing up as a child of un ...

Workshop Micro Battery and Capacitive Energy Harvesting
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2015/4/27 9:00)
|
(27.4.2015 - 27.4.2015) Mikrobatterien in Kombination mit kapazitiven Wandlern zur Gewinnung von Energie werden im EU-Projekt MATFLEXEND entwickelt. Hier stehen der Einsatz flexibler Materialien und die mechanische Anpassung im Vordergrund, die in Anwendungsbereichen wie?Wearable electronics?und Textilintegration notwendig ist. Die Ergebnisse beider Projekte werden im Workshop am 27. April in Berlin präsentiert und mit den Experten diskutiert. Dabei wird die gesamte Breite von der Materialentwicklung bis zur Device-Optimierung und Simulation behandelt. Die kostengünstige Herstellung mit Technologien der Elektronikfertigung ist ein weiterer Schwerpunkt.

UBC Supermileage Places 2nd at Shell Eco-MarathonShell Eco-marathon Americas Day One
from UBC Mechanical Engineering

Congratulations to UBC Supermileage who won silver in the Urban Vehicle category with a rating of 325 miles/US gallon. The Urban Concept class requires vehicles that can be used as future commuter cars. The vehicles must include items such as windshield wipers, trunk space, etc. The Prototype vehicle ended up with an unofficial rating of between 600-700 mpg. This rating ended as unofficial as we ran out of fuel on the last lap of the downtown street course. Our fuel tank is only 30mL.
These results are even more impressive when one considers that fact that both UBC vehicles were built from scratch following the loss of both vehicles from the 2014 competition. The team designed, built and raced two outstanding vehicles in only eight months.
