Siemens, along with various project partners from the munich technical university, the university of hamburg and basf, have come together to develop a plastic made primarily from carbon dioxide and renewable resources. this new material is an alternative to the acrylonitrite-butadiene-styrene polymer, popularly known as abs and is greener despite the similarities in their physical properties. More than 70 percent of the mixture is made of green polymers.

its mixture consists of phb, polyhydroxybutyrate, which is obtained from renewable raw materials like palm oil and starch. polypropylene carbonate, ppc, which consists of 43 percent of carbon dioxide, is further added to make it softer. the co2 is derived using a separation process particularly from power plant emissions.

the practicality of this new polymer was demonstrated by scientists of the bosch-siemens-hausgerate, basf,  who used it to create a vacuum cleaner cover. this project was funded by the german research ministry and the results obtained are due to the three year research on carbon dioxide as an ingredient for polymers. this new polymer is not only biodegradable, transparent and light resistant but can also be easily processed.   Siemens is further on the look out to examine if they can replace any other type of plastic that contains co2 based composite materials used by bsh.

as one of the pioneers of the world’s leading innovations industry, Siemens, has directly reached out and effectively met the requirements of several people with hearing impairment from all across the globe. Siemens believes in quality life and increasing the standard and comfort of people. Improving hearing is, however, not the only important stage to improvement. Comfort and being conspicuous is just as essential. hearing and sound comfort are two factors that are very difficult to obtain together as they are not always supportive of each other.

Siemens has designed three new technologies that focus on meeting the specific requirements of every individual, namely, speech focus, feedback stopper and sound learning 2.0.

speech focus stimulates better hearing. here, the surrounding environment is analyzed by the advanced technology provided by Siemens. The most favourable speech-to-noise ratio is detected and the appropriate microphone configuration is selected to provide the best speech intelligibility for the user.

when it comes to hearing instruments, acoustic feedback is one of the most negative impacts associated to it. the feedback stopper combines the proven acoustic fingerprint technology with the transient frequency shift, thus eliminating feedback before it reaches the user.

sound learning 2.0 is a learning algorithm which is the most sophisticated of its kind to hit the market  till date. its main feature is that it adapts to the user’s individuality. as this device is directed by the intelligent acoustic situation detector, the user finds it easier to adjust to the surrounding environment.
