NOVI, MI, April 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Preh, a leading supplier of automotive driver controls, sensors and electronic control units, is supplying the multifunction steering wheel switches for the new Audi A6. For Preh, it is the third contract from Audi for steering wheel switches, as the company already supplies the models A8 and A1.
For a comfortable option selection, the steering wheel multifunction switches have a scroll switch with a confirmation push function. Additionally, gears can be selected easily with the index or middle fingers using Preh's unique switch-paddles, placed behind the steering wheel spokes.
Preh has developed and manufactured numerous steering wheel switches for various car brands and commercial vehicles. One of the engineering challenges for multifunctional switches in the steering wheel is to develop a packaging with integrated electronics that fits the limited available space, while ensuring excellent haptic feel and a high surface quality.
Preh, Inc. President Nick Lontscharitsch says, "Our company is known for a high degree of vertical integration. All competencies for the development and manufacturing of complete switch modules are available in-house, from electronics manufacturing to tooling, plastic injection molding, painting, laser-etching and assembly. This makes us very flexible. Therefore, we can react fast when our customers request specific changes."

Getting a grasp on memory
2011-04-02
When we suddenly get the answer to a riddle or understand the solution to a problem, we can practically feel the light bulb click on in our head. But what happens after the 'Aha!' moment? Why do the things we learn through sudden insight tend to stick in our memory?
'Much of memory research involves repetitive, rote learning,' says Kelly Ludmer, a research student in the group of Prof. Yadin Dudai of the Institute's Neurobiology Department, 'but in fact, we regularly absorb large blocks of information in the blink of an eye and remember things quite well from single events. ...

Biological molecules select their spin
2011-04-02
Do the principles of quantum mechanics apply to biological systems? Until now, says Prof. Ron Naaman of the Institute's Chemical Physics Department (Faculty of Chemistry), both biologists and physicists have considered quantum systems and biological molecules to be like apples and oranges. But research he conducted together with scientists in Germany, which appeared recently in Science, definitively shows that a biological molecule – DNA – can discern between quantum states known as spin.
Quantum phenomena, it is generally agreed, take place in extremely tiny systems ...
