TheVoyager 1 space probe launched in 1977 reaches the edge of the Solar System
As reported by NASA in a statement the probe Voyager 1 , which is man-made object farthest from the Earth, has entered the boundary of our system solar unknown and could reach interstellar space in a matter of months.

The Voyager, launched in 1977 , and has traveled nearly 18,000 million of kilometers and the statement of NASA, might overcome the heliosphere bubble and the influence of magnetic field in “a few months or years.”

“We found that the slow solar wind is blowing in this region and erratically. For the first time, even moving backwards. We are traveling in new territory,” said Rob Decker , one of those responsible for measuring instruments of the probe.

The data that indicate their status from the sensors of the probe, they detected an increase in magnetic field strength, as it is on the edge of the heliosphere, where the compressed interstellar space radiation limits of the zone of influence the sun.

Since mid- 2010 the probe has detected a reduction of the energetic particles emitted from the Sun, which are now two times less abundant than in the previous five years, while it has detected a stream one hundred times more electrons in interstellar space.

Advantages of electronic invoicing

The online billing simplifies procedures in the different business processes, from automated calculations of tax, totals and reports, PDF professional design, organization of invoices, payments and shipments until payment through online payment gateways
Whether it is a standalone company or product providers and online services, online billing facilitate proceedings for suppliers and their customers.

Organization and automated calculations

The online billing system provides an efficient monitoring of invoices sent, paid and unpaid. The latest billing applications have some advanced search methods that show a few steps, the bills have been sent to a particular client.

Apart from an optimal organization of all invoices, customers, shipments, payments, etc, the billing software provides automated calculation of taxable income, total taxes and quarterly and annual income statement. This allows reporting without the need for manual calculations, thus avoiding miscalculations and considerable time savings.

Global availability and data protection

With electronic billing software need only a web browser to generate and send invoices to customers. This means that software is accessible from any Mac or PC with an internet connection, without software installation or upgrade later.

We have developed an online billing software invoices in PDF format and automated walkways and confirmation of payment status online
The invoice information is stored on secure servers to reduce the risk of data loss in case of breaking the computer or have been stolen. Unlike most personal computers, web servers are maintained, protected and supported by professionals.

Corporate and professional image

Invoices are generated and sent in PDF format. The PDF is a compact document format widely used for professional printing. The PDF allows the generation of invoices with quality design, typefaces TrueTip and company logo in high resolution.

By using a standard PDF invoice insure that all invoices will look the same as automated design and layout is predetermined.

This provides a professional look that will always be maintained without any additional effort, simply fill in the data and the system does the rest.

Online Payment Gateways

Using the online payment gateway, customers are more willing to process payments if they are given a form of payment takes a minute to complete. The bill provides capacity PDF online payment through Paypal payment providers and other providers and other online payment. Upon receipt of the invoice the customer only have to click on the icon of the payment gateway on the invoice online, complete the information and confirm credit card payment online.

Our team has developed an online billing program with PDF invoices and payment gateways that provide automated confirmation of payment status of invoices.

A software tool helps optimize Spanish desalination plants

Among the main advantages that may involve the use of these facilities EcosimPro includes the study of their behavior without resort to evidence in the plant or pilot plant
Spanish engineers have developed a simulation application that helps optimize the operation of desalination plants. This is the desalination library, developed by the University of Valladolid has EcosimPro based tool, used in development of reference osmosis plants.

The library features high accuracy and ease in handling the many variables which includes a desalination plant, fluid flow processes, separation processes, storage, energy recovery, chemical dosing, water quality, etc..

 

Specifically, among its most noted is his contribution to the integrated design and control of such plants. Through dynamic simulation we can calculate the optimal design of the facility and perform predictive control.

Desalination plants have a greater chance of development thanks to technological advances Spanish

The main objective is to supply the demand, which varies throughout the day and month, but at the lowest possible energy consumption, avoiding the drain and overflow tanks. Additionally, this process should take into account a number of important restrictions, for example, the need for cleaning the filters and membranes, or the technical limitations of the pumps.

Overall, the benefits it can involve the use of these facilities EcosimPro ranging from the study of behavior without resort to evidence in the plant or pilot plant, to the ability of simulation of complex systems, saving energy and speed in obtaining results and the optimization of processes and costs.

About EcosimPro

EcosimPro is a mathematical tool for modeling and simulation of dynamical systems developed by a team of engineers Grouped Business International (EAI). Founded in 1971 Business Group is a leading engineering organization in Spain and with considerable international experience. News and information are available at the web address www.ecosimpro.com
