Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

New Hybrid Tramways Rely on Saft Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Systems for Traction Power
Saft 576 V Ni-MH integrated battery systems provide the Translohr systems with a compact, maintenance-free source of autonomous

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- EDTA Booth # 422 -- Saft's new design high power Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) integrated battery systems will provide traction power for Lohr Industrie's Translohr systems in some Italian cities. They will be the first hybrid tramways capable of switching their source of power between overhead catenaries and on-board batteries.

For most of its journey through each city, the guided tramway system, running on rubber tires, will draw power via an overhead catenary. However, for short runs of between 500 to 1000 m through the historic medieval city centers, where catenaries are not permitted, the vehicles will be powered by a 576 V Saft Ni-MH battery system developed to offer excellent power storage in a compact, maintenance-free package.

Traction batteries

Some cities required a hybrid tramway, which would be compatible with their unspoilt medieval centres. Therefore, Translohr needed an on-board traction battery capable of providing sufficient power for travel over distances of up to one km in areas where catenaries cannot be installed, while also being compact enough for installation in the vehicle roof.

For Translohr, Saft has developed a fully integrated battery system -- the new generation of NHP modules capable of providing 80 kWh of continuous power. Each battery system incorporates an active cooling device and battery management control (BMC) for monitoring of temperature, voltage and charging conditions. The whole unit is supplied ready to 'plug and play' in a custom- built tray complete with power and communication connectors and all necessary safety features.

Power backup

In addition to the traction batteries, Saft is also supplying 24 V on- board MATRICS MRX rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries to provide backup support for electrical systems such as doors and communications.
