The seminar begins at 1 pm Thurs., April 30 at the Dearborn Inn Marriott. It will provide the industry with a comprehensive view of the 1394 Automotive standard and use cases for the vehicle.

For more information about how to attend visit http://www.1394ta.org/Events/Q22009_TechSeminar.html. Registration will be available on site on the day of the seminar.

“Auto manufacturers can’t afford multiple networks that will be obsolete in a few years after initial platform launch,” said Max Bassler, chairman of the 1394 Trade Association. “They want a single customizable in-vehicle network that will allow multiple ECUs, including driver assistance, navigation, Internet use and high quality audio/video modules to communicate seamlessly. Outside connections to the world will interact and communicate over the 1394 Auto in-vehicle network.”

All mobile device owners are bound to agree that one thing that they hate is getting low on charges for their gadgets. But thanks to the advent of car chargers, you can always plug them in via the usual DC sockets available in cars.

When it comes to integrating mobile device technology and the automobile, the two formats don’t always connect. Duracell is helping to fill the gap with the Duracell USB Charger, a USB charging port that plugs right into the car’s DC socket, and three different connectors for the Duracell My Pocket Charger.

The Duracell USB Charger is one of the smallest and simplest USB charging devices on the market with innovative technology that provides 5-volt DC power to charge mobile devices. Computer gear from iPods to iPhones and more will fit just right with the thumb-sized solution for cars of all kinds. The Duracell USB Charger turns a DC outlet into a USB opening that glows with a blue light to show it’s ready to charge.

These power solutions are available online and at select mass and specialty retail stores nationwide.
