			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Have you ever wondered how the screen of your iPod touch change to landscape when you move it horizontally or you might wonder of how air bag on your car works when you hit your car on a tree? It’s all because of one simple, tiny stuff, called by motion sensor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Motion sensor is a <strong><span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.select-controls.com/motion.html" target="_blank">sensor</a></span> </strong>which can detect motion and then send the signal to a processor or an IC, Integrated Circuit where the signal is processed to have desired pre programmed output. Although it seems so simple but it can saves many lives when it’s applied on your car on in an airplane. Car and airplane nowadays have many sensors which can help the driver or pilots taking the correct decision when something happens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">One simple example is in <strong><span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.select-controls.com/motion.html" target="_blank">airbag</a></span></strong> on your car which has been mentioned before. When there is a collision there will be a sudden impact which can initiate the sensor to give signal to the air bag controller to release the airbag so that the injury of the driver and the passenger can be minimized. The other example is motion sensor on your car <strong><span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.select-controls.com/motion.html" target="_blank">braking</a></span> </strong>system which called by EBD. EBD will control the brake distribution of the wheels based on the load distribution of the car.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever had a car stolen? Did you collapse, broken-hearted, on the floor when told that its burnt-out chassis had been found at the bottom of a dry creek bed and was now home to a family of very large rats? The stereo was gone, the seats were gone, the woofers, gone. And the fluffy dice &#8211; they even took the dice!</p>
<p>No more &#8220;DOOF-DOOF&#8221;, no more dice</p>
<p>No more back seat paradise&#8230;</p>
<p>I know &#8211; you were much younger then.</p>
<p>The negative impact caused by car theft spares no one. Its effects are felt right across the community. For example, an increase in motor vehicle thefts means an increase in motor vehicle insurance claims and this ultimately leads to a rise in motor vehicle insurance premiums.</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop there. Even those who don&#8217;t own a vehicle end up bearing the cost of motor vehicle thefts indirectly as taxi fares, bus fares, even school excursions become more expensive. And if you believe you&#8217;ve been excluded from these increased costs because you walk or cycle everywhere, think again.</p>
<p>Higher motor vehicle insurance premiums mean higher transport running costs, which lead to higher freight charges, and this translates to higher prices on the supermarket shelves.</p>
<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the individual. The poor motorist who has had his car stolen must now cop a reduction in his No Claim Bonus as well as pay a hefty excess. If he relies on his vehicle for work there is also the alarming prospect of a temporary loss of income.</p>
<p>So what can be done to combat these heinous crimes?</p>
<p>Many new cars these days have built-in anti-theft devices such as car alarms, engine demobilisers and wheel nut locks. Even so, there are several things car owners can do to prevent the their vehicles being stolen.</p>
<p>• If your car doesn&#8217;t come with an anti-theft device, buy one.</p>
<p>• When parking on the street at night, always choose a well-lit area.</p>
<p>• That anti-theft device that you bought&#8230;use it!</p>
<p>• Never leave items that may be tempting to a thief in plain sight. These may include department store shopping bags, mobile phones, wallets, gifts or other valuables. If such things absolutely must be left in the vehicle, hide them away in the glove box, boot or even under the seats.</p>
<p>• This may sound obvious but keys should never be left in the ignition. Many a car has been stolen from right under its owner&#8217;s nose simply because the key was left in it. Even if you&#8217;re just popping in to pay for the petrol you just pumped, take out the key. Theft of your vehicle will take less than ten seconds with the key already in the ignition.</p>
<p>• If you have a garage, put your car in it instead of the pool table. And, having done that, don&#8217;t forget to lock it.</p>
<p>• If you don&#8217;t have a garage, park in the driveway instead of the street. (If you don&#8217;t have either&#8230; have you considered a pushbike?)</p>
<p>• When leaving the vehicle unattended at home, take your car keys with you.</p>
<p>• If leaving the car with a mechanic for maintenance or repairs, only leave the ignition key with the car.</p>
<p>• Never leave spare keys in or on the vehicle.</p>
<p>• Don&#8217;t leave important papers such as registration, license or mail in the vehicle while unattended.</p>
<p>If, even after being as careful as possible, your vehicle is stolen, report the theft immediately to the police. They will take details of the vehicle, where it was parked and for how long, as well as information about any items that may have been inside it at the time.</p>
<p>You will then need to make a claim through your insurance company -assuming you have comprehensive motor vehicle insurance, of course &#8211; as soon as possible. These days many insurance companies allow you to report the claim online as well as in person or over the phone. The important thing is to do so promptly, giving as much detail as is available so as to help streamline the process.</p>
<p>Once the claim is reported, a claims officer will most likely contact you within a day or two to confirm the information. If accepted, it may then take up to a further six weeks to pay the claim if the vehicle is not recovered. If it is found within that time, the vehicle will be assessed as to whether it can be repaired and, if so, at what cost. If the repair costs would be more than the vehicle is worth, it will be deemed a total loss and the claim paid for the insured value less any excess.</p>
<p>Any way you look at it, motor vehicle theft is a crime that causes loss and anxiety in several different ways. The best we can do is take as many steps as we can to prevent it and support car manufacturers that provide security devices in their cars.</p>
<p>As for the car thieves,placing them in stocks and throwing rotten tomatoes at them springs to mind.</p>

The 2007 Sonata is the smaller of Hyundaiís two midsize sedans.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(1) The 2007 Hyundai Sonata </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The 2007 Sonata is the smaller of Hyundaiís two midsize sedans. It comes in three models: a) The Sonata Limited trim is the top-line model and has a 235-hp V6 and 5-speed automatic as well as heated front seats, automatic climate control and fine leather upholstery. b) The Sonata SE also has a 235-hp V6 and 5-speed automatic. c) The Sonata GLS has 162-hp 4-cylinders and a choice of either 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. All models are equipped with ABS and traction/antiskid control as well as front-side and curtain-side airbags.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While the old version reminded many car patrons of a Jaguar in terms of style, the 2007 version looks even better, with a front lamp that resembles an Audi and a backside that looks like an Accord. The thin roof pillars and the driver&#8217;s upright position also contribute to its esthetic value. The 2007 Sonata is also bigger, sharper and more technologically advanced version than the 2006 model. Overall, the Sonata&#8217;s advantage over other cars of its class such as the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima is that it combines comfort, spaciousness, sophisticated design and reliable performance as well as a reasonable price.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(2) The Hyundai Accent</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The new, completely re-designed 3-door Hyundai Accent hatchback is a welcome addition to the 4-door sedan introduced in 2006. Compared to the sedan, the Accent is a sportier ride in terms of both appearance and performance. It also boasts of side-curtain airbags, which are a rare feature in vehicles of this size and price range.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The 2007 Accent has superb handling, an attractive Euro style hatch and a strong safety kit. Sold in GE and SE trims, the Accent looks small on the outside but is surprisingly roomy inside, both front and rear. Its excellent fuel economy makes it an ideal choice for urban drivers, especially in places where gas costs as much as $6/gallon. Many have commented that the Accent 3-door 2007 model is even more attractive than the 4-door 2006 Accent sedan unveiled last year. The 2007 model brings back memories of the 3-door Honda Civic CX hatch from the mid-nineties or the Opel Corsa from General Motors which is so popular these days in Europe. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(3) The Hyundai Elantra</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Many automotive industry observers consider the 2007 Hyundai Elantra a worthy challenger to the subcompact sedan field, which features the likes of the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. It is competitive in terms of safety, spaciousness and overall driving experience and may have a slight advantage in value and warranty coverage. However, its conservative styling needs to catch up with the rest in this field.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The 2007 Elantra has airbags galore both in the front seat-mounted and roof-mounted side curtains, and that&#8217;s for both front and rear seats. It also has antilock brakes and four-wheel-disc brakes that are far better than the disc brakes in front and drum brakes at the rear of its competitors.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(4) The Hyundai Tiburon</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Tiburon has been restyled for 2007 and now features lower-placed headlamps, a hallmark of the more mainstream Japanese models, as well as revised taillights and  chrome exhaust tips. It also has a new sheetmetal frame with a more wedge-like, mainstream look that is a far cry from the odd-looking and curvy Tiburon model first introduced in the US in 1997. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The handling of the top-of-the-line Tiburon SE has likewise been streamlined to make it smoother and more appealing to enthusiasts. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(5) The Hyundai Santa Fe </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With a car&#8217;s unibody construction instead of a regular truck&#8217;s traditional body-on-frame construction, the Hyundai Santa Fe is more like a &#8220;crossover SUV.&#8221; The 2007 version has been completely redesigned and is now bigger and better, boasts of more power, bigger legroom and a more sophisticated style.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Unlike last year&#8217;s model, the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe blends naturally into the suburbs. Its brand-new third-row seating allows the 2007 Santa Fe to accommodate up to seven passengers. It also offers improved fuel economy and power, whether itís the GLS, SE or Limited trims.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(6) The Hyundai Azera</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s Azera has benefitted from minor changes in the interior details to increase its aesthetic value. It is actually a carryover from last year&#8217;s model and features the standard 3.8-liter, V6, 263-horsepower engine and 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan is available in 4 trims, ranging from the SE to the Limited XM.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(7) The Hyundai Tucson</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Tucson is another of Hyundai&#8217;s highly-regarded cars for 2007, especially since the 2006 Tucson captured the prestigious J.D. Power and Associates award for &#8220;Highest Ranked Multi-Activity Vehicle in Initial Quality&#8221; despite being only in its second year of production. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Based on a study of over 63,000 new car owners, the Tucson, on the average, outperformed its competitors in the Multi-Activity Vehicle (MAV) segment in six of eight categories. Overall, Tucson recorded scores that were 23 percent better than the category average. It also received high marks for its safety technology, electronic stability control, curtain airbags and for offering a choice between front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>(8) The Hyundai Entourage</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In terms of standard safety features, the Hyundai Entourage is head and shoulders above the other minivans available in the market today It is no surprise that the 2007 Entourage garnered the Insurance Institute for Highway Safetyís highest and best crash test rating ever for a minivans. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Among the Entourage&#8217;s safety and comfort features are six airbags, standard ABS, standard Electronic Stability Control and standard active head restraints. In addition, the Entourage boasts of lots of space to spare, including seating for seven and huge cargo space.</p>
