Toyota plans to have more than 100 hydrogen fuel-cell cars on the road by 2013, the company has announced. While most of them will be given to government agencies and universities for testing in California and New York, expanding this pilot program is designed to win consumers to the idea before automakers introduce hydrogen-powered cars to the market in 2015.

This is the third pillar in Toyota’s robust green technology strategy. Already, its Prius is the dominant brand in low-emissions vehicles. Whenever anyone thinks of hybrid cars, it immediately springs to mind, giving Toyota all the cred it will need to successfully launch the revamped, plug-in version of the Prius in 2012. Both Priuses have built a strong foundation for Toyota to move beyond battery technology to fuel cells.

“We plan to come to market in 2015 or earlier with a vehicle that will be reliable and durable, with exceptional fuel economy and zero emissions at an affordable price,” Toyota head of environmental affairs Irv Miller said during the announcement.

The major automaker started testing fuel cell technology in 2002 with a fleet of 20 vehicles in California. In the last eight years, it has more than doubled the range of its fuel cell hybrid vehicles (FCHVs). In late 2007, it took of the models on a seven-day road test between Fairbanks, Alaska and Vancouver, Canada. The cars are said to get 68 miles per gallon of gasoline and have a driving range of 431 miles while emitting zero greenhouse gases.

The one snag in Toyota’s plan? It might be hard to find a hydrogen station to fuel up. The company hopes its program, and those being explored by its competitors, will jump start the development of hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Producing the hydrogen fuel cells themselves isn’t too difficult. It only requires electricity and water. The trick will be to accelerate both car production and infrastructure development at the same right and at the right time to achieve rapid adoption, Toyota says.

In September, Daimler also came out with similar plans to get average consumers behind the wheel of hydrogen fuel cell cars by 2015 (and is looking to partner with Toyota in the endeavor). The big challenge, that company said, will be to make them cost-competitive with other automotive options. It hopes to commercialize a hydrogen version of its compact Mercedes Benz B class, which it unveiled at the auto show in Frankfurt in the fall.

It will be interesting to see how collaborative the companies involve get in order to make a hydrogen fuel cell hybrid a reality. Considering the hurdles ahead — both steep costs and the need for extensive, perhaps policy-motivated, changes to fuel infrastructure — it seems like even the biggest names in the car industry will be willing to partner so that more can benefit.

Expanding on its incentives package for wind power, India is launching a major solar energy deployment campaign. With 9,000 megawatts of solar already up and running, the country has set a goal to have 20,000 megawatts of capacity online by 2022 — enough power to run about 20 million U.S. households. How does India plan to do it? Major subsidies.

The populous nation was roundly criticized for its stubborn stance on climate change during the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen. But it’s actually becoming one of the most proactive developing countries in the world when it comes to clean energy. Renewables already account for 10 percent of power generation there. To put this in context, he U.S. generated 11.1 percent of its power from renewable during the first half of 2009, and its economy is much bigger.

India’s plan to increase solar generation was first announced in July last year, and is still estimated to cost $19 billion. The government says it is willing to provide 90 percent of the support needed to make a number of solar plants operational. It has also set down policies requiring solar panels in all government buildings. It’s obviously serious about weaning itself off of fossil fuels, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions — further evidenced by its pledge to spend $200 billion on building a cleaner, more efficient Smart Grid by 2015.

So what does bringing solar power to 80,000 citizens living off a major power grid look like? Well, it involved 20 million square-meters of photovoltaic panels. That’s about 4,000 soccer fields, or 7.5 square miles covered in equipment. As it’s been plotted out, the country’s solar campaign would take about 12 years.

It gets more ambitious than simply building panels too. It will also require utilities to generate 20 percent of their power from solar. This is the same goal that California hopes to accomplish by 2020 taking both wind and solar into account. To make this happen, India will turn several cities into hubs for renewable power technology that will serve as centers of thought leadership and laboratories for new ideas.

Promising to fund 90 percent of construction costs in diesel-dependent states and 30 percent in others, India is showing strong resolve to change its energy mix. It has the influence to become a strong regional leader in renewable power. It could even teach the U.S. a thing or two if subsidies do for solar there what they have done for Spain and Germany, catapulting them out ahead of the game as America runs to catch up.

Short Version: The Sprint Overdrive is a small, compact portable 3G/4G cellular data network to WiFi dongle designed for use by up to five people simultaneously. The best part is the ease of use and the worst part is the dearth of 4G networking outside of a few major cities.

Features:

• Internal, replaceable battery
• Front OLED screen
• Sprint 4G support

Pros:

• Very small
• Screen displays security information
• Good speed

Cons:

• Only five users per device
• 4G coverage is sparse

Review:

We are of two minds about the Sprint Overdrive. In terms of design and usability, the Overdrive is excellent. It is a small, compact device with OLED screen and removable battery that holds a charge for about four hours of heavy use. Up to five users can access it at once and the security information appears right on the screen, allowing folks to glance over instead of asking you to give them the device to read the code off the back or, worse, having to look it up.

On the other hand, 4G is pretty sparse and on a good day we got sub 4G speeds in many of our tests in Vegas, although by any standard 4G there was sparse. At best we hit 2Mbps in real terms.

3G speeds were on par with what we’d expect in various Sprint coverage areas. A quick speed test gave us 355KBps down and 93KBps up. Various locations gave us the same numbers.

The device is $99 after $50 rebate and starts at $39 per month.

On the whole, this is a well-designed and clever product. Ideally you need to be in a 4G area to grab the full value but as those roll out over the next few months you might as well future proof now.

Bottom Line
Impressive design and good performance make this a dongle to watch.

Charles River Laboratories International (NYSE:CRL) announced today that it plans to suspend operations at its Shrewsbury, MA, facility by mid-2010, reacting to a slowdown in demand for its preclinical testing services.

The planned cuts will be reflected in our Boston Tech Layoff Tracker.

Sage Bionetworks, the Seattle-based nonprofit seeking to spark a movement toward open-source style sharing of biological data, is announcing today it has secured a partnership with Pfizer, the world’s largest pharmaceutical company.

Financial terms, and the length of the collaboration, aren’t being disclosed. But the deal will bring in enough cash for Sage to add some new faces to its 15-person staff inside the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The plan is to build computational models that can be used to help discover new targets for cancer drugs, and which may help predict which patients are likely to benefit in clinical trials.

“It’s something real,” says Stephen Friend, the president and founder of Sage, when asked about the deal’s significance.

Sage’s vision is to build models that connect the dots between abnormalities in genes, the proteins that arise from genetic code, and the clinical symptoms of disease that are more easily observed in patients. These “network biology” models will be used to help identify new targets for cancer drugs, and help Pfizer determine which experimental cancer drugs in its pipeline are likely to work, or cause toxic side effects, for patients in clinical trials.

The partnership with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is the latest external vote of confidence in the fledgling nonprofit that Friend started last March. Friend left his high-profile job as senior vice president of cancer research at Merck, after securing $5 million in commitments from anonymous donors behind Sage. In an August profile in Xconomy, Friend talked about how Merck donated $150 million worth of intellectual property to start the effort. Since then, Sage has disclosed that it has gained additional support from Quintiles, the giant contract research firm, the Canary Fund, which supports early diagnostic testing for cancer, and the Cure Huntington’s Disease Initiative.

For those who missed the earlier stories, here’s some background on what Sage is about. As I wrote back in October, Sage wants biologists to drop their traditional attitudes about keeping raw experimental data hidden, and instead pool the data in the public domain. This kind of collaborative is needed, Friend has said, because biologists are starting to see how vast networks of genes get perturbed in complex diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and rheumatoid arthritis. All of this data is too complex for any individual or team of scientists to manage-even at a place as wealthy as Friend’s former employer.

Yet researchers scattered around the world are capturing huge volumes of genomic data on their computers, hoping it will someday be fodder for discovery. If Sage can convince scientists to contribute to the database, and get them collaborating through social media like Twitter and Facebook have done, then Sage hopes biologists might be able to speed up the pace of discovery of more effective drugs, just like open-source computing can create better software.

Since this cuts against so many deeply ingrained cultural traditions, Friend has encountered …Next Page »

The iPhone had its security growing pains when it was first released, and now Droid has its own flaw that lets anyone bypass your password screen with just the push of a button.

Normally, Droid users are asked to input a pattern using onscreen dots before they can access their homescreen. But apparently, when the phone has an incoming call, all an infiltrator has to do is press the dedicated “Back” button to get to your emails, contact lists, and other personal information.

According to a statement issued to TechCrunch, Google is “aware of the issue” and working on a fix, but there’s no timetable for how long that will take. So far only Android 2.0.1 Droid phones seem to be affected. We’ll update as soon as we hear that the issue has been resolved. [The Assurer via TechCrunch]

Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc. (KMSA), the worldwide leader in the industrial measurement of color, light and shape, announces the US launch of its next generation color measurement instrument, the CM-5 Spectrophotometer.

“The CM-5 is an excellent blend of both form and function for this revolutionary bench top,” said Lou Carulli, Advertising & Public Relations for Konica Minolta Sensing Americas. The CM-5 is a full featured, highly accurate and a totally standalone instrument that does not require a PC. The CM-5 can display everything from numeric data, spectral graphs, and colorimetric plots, making a PC for basic color control a thing of the past. The versatility of the top port design can support the measurement of solid objects, pills, granules, liquids and pastes. It also integrates a sliding body panel to expose its large transmittance chamber capable of measuring films or plates up to 60mm thick. The sliding body panel design, with no sides, allows for the measurement of an object with no length limitation.

“What sets the CM-5 apart is that it’s quite simply the easiest and virtually mistake free color measurement instrument ever developed,” said Randy Klimek, New Product Project Manager for Konica Minolta Sensing. The CM-5 features yet another industry first for Konica Minolta, who developed a cutting edge on-screen wizard that instructs the user step by step on how to take a measurement, making it the ideal instrument for even non-experts. The CM-5 comes with 5 new indices preloaded on the unit including the Gardner, Iodine, Hazen (APHA), European Pharmacopoeia, and US Pharmacopeia values of liquids.

“The CM-5 is the direct replacement for our popular CT-300 series. We are offering an exclusive trade-in for customers wishing to upgrade to the cutting edge of color measurement technology,” said Randy Klimek.

Pre-orders for the CM-5 have already been placed and are still being accepted. Shipping will begin in February 2010 to customers.
