Red Bull Racing and Ansys Fast-Track Race Winning Design

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

/ Key Highlights

  • Red Bull Racing uses Ansys to optimize aerodynamic performance as the team heads into the 2021 season
  • The renewed innovation partnership helps the team’s engineers quickly create the most high-performing designs substantially faster, equipping them with a significant performance edge over the competition

Red Bull Racing is using Ansys’ (NASDAQ: ANSS) cutting-edge simulation solutions and highly advanced materials data management system to rapidly develop its Formula One race cars. Building on a 13-year relationship as innovation partners, Red Bull Racing and Ansys are continuing to drive engineering productivity and slash design cycle time by helping engineers create enhanced car designs faster.     

With mere days to plan between competitions, Red Bull Racing’s engineering team must operate within a tight development window to evolve race car aerodynamics and shave seconds off lap times. The team relies on Ansys® Fluent® and supporting Ansys computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions, which help the team’s engineers improve the design of the aerodynamic package for each race track, enabling more revisions and optimizations to be made in the virtual world before moving to physical manufacture. Fluent’s automated workflow serves as a core component of the team’s virtual wind tunnel to run external aerodynamic simulations and enables the team to develop the chassis cooling circuit to support the Honda Power Unit to achieve its optimum performance.

Additionally, engineers leverage Ansys® Granta MI™, a comprehensive, single source of truth materials data management system that enables engineers to swiftly select materials, reduce errors and drive team collaboration. The team also depends on Ansys® LS-DYNA® to define car crash structures by simulating and correlating impacts with real-world testing, greatly decreasing the need for physical tests.    

«Digital simulation is core to Red Bull Racing’s rapid design process and extending our innovation partnership with Ansys ensures that our team continues to benefit from best-in-class simulation technologies,» said Matt Cadieux, chief information officer at Red Bull Racing. «As a team, we are always pushing our innovation partners to deliver the latest competition-beating tools to maximize on-track performance. By integrating Ansys’ technology into our design processes, our team iterates aerodynamic designs much faster, giving us the edge against our competition on the track.»

«Facing extremely short development periods between races to overcome complex aerodynamic design issues creates major hurdles for developing enhanced Formula One cars,» said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president at Ansys. «By renewing our longstanding partnership with Red Bull Racing, their team’s engineers will continue to rely on Ansys’ high-fidelity simulation solutions to speed the design of championship race cars that consistently outpace and outperform the competition.»

Southern States see the Greatest Disparities Between Healthcare Costs and Middle-Class Income

SEATTLE, Feb., 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new report found workers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas contribute, on average, the highest percentage of their income to out-of-pocket health coverage costs.

SEATTLE, Feb., 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new report found workers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas contribute, on average, the highest percentage of their income to out-of-pocket health coverage costs. Recent trends in health care costs, health care coverage and household income have contributed to growing disparities between different income groups in the United States.

Analysts at QuoteWizard looked at data from The Commonwealth Fund to see where residents are paying a larger share of their income towards health insurance premiums and deductibles.

View the full report here: https://quotewizard.com/news/posts/disparity-between-healthcare-costs-and-middle-class-income

Key findings:

  • Nearly 32 million workers (21% of the U.S. workforce) would benefit from raising the federal minimum wage.
  • Workers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas contribute, on average, the highest percentage of their income to out-of-pocket health coverage costs.
  • In Hawaii, Washington and Massachusetts, the middle class contributes the least of their income towards health premiums and deductibles.
  • Forty-two states contribute more than 10% of their incomes towards out-of-pocket health costs.
  • Nationally, those with middle income pay $7,388 yearly in deductibles and health premiums combined.

Methodology
To find out which states have the largest disparities between middle-class income and out-of-pocket health insurance costs (premiums and deductibles), QuoteWizard analyzed The Commonwealth Fund’s state-by-state report on «Insurance Costs Taking Larger Share of Middle-Class Incomes as Premium Contributions and Deductibles Grow Faster Than Wages.» We compiled 2019 employee contributions to yearly health insurance premiums and average deductible costs and compared them to each state’s median income. Median middle-class income data was sourced from the U.S. Census. States with the highest average percentages of income that go to out-of-pocket health insurance costs are ranked closer to 1 (worst) and states that had relatively lower health insurance costs compared to income ranked closer to 50 (best).

About QuoteWizard QuoteWizard (quotewizard.com) is an insurance comparison marketplace for consumers looking to save on insurance. QuoteWizard provides consumers with direct access to thousands of qualified agents in all 50 states, as well as major carriers, who offer personalized quotes and the opportunity to save up to 40% on auto, home, health, and life insurance.

GUELPH, ON, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Canadian Solar Inc. (the «Company», or «Canadian Solar») (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world’s largest solar power companies, announced today the successful close of the Japan Green Infrastructure Fund («JGIF» or the «Fund»). Canadian Solar will partner with Macquarie Advisory & Capital Solutions («Macquarie»), the advisory and capital markets arm of the Macquarie Group (ASX: MQG). Macquarie is both the financial advisor and a minority investor in the Fund.

JGIF’s mission is to accelerate the development of new projects in Japan with clear monetization strategies, and expects to grant first offer rights to the Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund («CSIF», TSE: 9284), a Japanese-listed infrastructure fund holding operating solar assets managed by Canadian Solar’s asset management subsidiary.

The Fund marks Canadian Solar’s first platform entry into the private institutional capital pool. Together with Macquarie and other cornerstone investors, the Fund has secured JPY22 billion (US$208 million) of committed capital that will be used to develop, build and accumulate new solar projects in Japan. The Fund will further consider green bond placements and project finance loans as it expands its asset portfolio. 

Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar, commented, «We are pleased to partner with Macquarie and other long-term investors to launch this new development fund. JGIF’s more dedicated capital pool will further boost our competitiveness in developing clean, sustainable and high-quality solar energy projects in Japan, leveraging our strong track record both as one of the largest solar developers in the country and as the sponsor of the Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund. Meanwhile, we expect to deliver attractive and stable returns to our long-term capital partners, including insurance companies and asset managers, who are searching for yield and looking to deploy capital to advance the clean energy transition.»

JGIF is managed as an approved 13X fund management company regulated under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Canadian Solar and Macquarie will jointly serve as general partners of the Fund, with an economic stake of 67 per cent and 33 per cent, respectively. The Fund aims to catalyze large-scale investments within its six-year fund term and will sell to managed funds or on the secondary market to maximize value.

Dr. Qu added, «As previously communicated, we are in the process of planning similar localized capital partnerships in other parts of the world, including in Latin America and Europe, which will help us accelerate the expansion of our global project development platform.»

Rebekha Bonachea Becerra, a quien conocemos como Bekha Bon, nació el 26 de Marzo de 1959, en la Habana Cuba. Fue la primera hija de dos hermanas, que, aunque crecieron en un hogar humilde, nunca sufrieron penurias a pesar del cambio político que se dio en la isla por aquellos tiempos.

Como estudiante, nunca fue la mejor de su clase, sin embargo, terminó el bachillerato y de no haber sido por el éxodo masivo que se produjo en 1980, seguramente hubiera llegado a ser periodista, pero prefirió cambiar sus sueños de estudiante, por libertad. Sabía que tras aquel inmenso mar que rodeaba su patria, había un mundo que el régimen comunista por aquellos años, les negaba conocer, así que en cuanto tuvo la primera oportunidad fue en busca de él.

Después de haber vivido, experiencias tanto positivas como negativas, decidió ponerlas al servicio de la humanidad, con la esperanza de que su trayectoria pueda servir a otros.

Estas páginas reúnen la desgarradora historia de una joven española llamada Rosario, quien, con solo diecinueve años, el crimen organizado en Bolivia la arrastró a un abismo de penurias dentro de las diferentes prisiones en las que purgó su condena, en suelo norteamericano. Hecho este, que situó a Bekha Bon, en el compromiso ciudadano de narrar una crónica que habla del inminente peligro que corren muchos de los jóvenes, los que atraídos por la aventura que imaginan encontrarán, y la prosperidad soñada, terminan enredados en las retorcidas redes que constantemente tejen los profesionales del crimen, los que se reinventan a diario nuevas formas y vías, con el único propósito de transportar sus cargamentos hacia suelo estadounidense. Desmedido empeño, que terminan convirtiendo a nuestros muchachos en «mulas de carga ciegas», que por lo regular acaban pagando por un delito, que en realidad no cometieron.

Publicada por Page Publishing, el interesante e increíble libro de Bekha Bon, Juventud Incauta, nos abre esa caja negra que es el mundo del crimen organizado, nos cuenta la historia de Rosario, quien en su ingenuidad confió en las personas equivocadas, tengan cuidado que el peligro acecha pacientemente.
