An invisibility cloak to protect buildings from earthquakes

Mathematicians at the University of Manchester are working on the theory of invisibility cloaks that covered developing progejan buildings and structures of vibration and natural disasters such as earthquakes . As announced William Parnell and his colleagues in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A , camouflage certain structural components with rubber pressure allow large seismic waves do not "see" the building and "long pass" so that it does not suffer any damage.

This "invisibility" may be very important to protect key structures such as nuclear power plants, electrical towers and government buildings in the destruction of natural disasters and even terrorist attacks, as it would provide invisibility to light waves, sound or vibration. Research into invisibility cloaks and the ability to hide objects or persons to light waves began about six years ago, but so far very little work had been done with other types of waves, such as those produced by earthquakes. "This research has shown to actually have the potential to control the direction and speed of elastic waves . This is important because we want to direct these waves in many contexts, especially in nano-electronics applications, for example, "explains Professor Parnell. "If the theory can be applied to larger objects, then it could be used to create layers to protect buildings and structures, or perhaps more realistically, to specifically protect important parts of these structures."

The TV also want applications

Samsung has long been betting on the Internet connection in their high-end TVs. What we have called Smart TV, smart TV, begins to reach a larger part of the catalog. The Korean manufacturer has completely banished LCDs (liquid crystal). Henceforth all televisions will be light emitting diode (LED).

In 2012 begin to market devices with applications priced between the 300 and 3,000 euros for the more luxurious models. These are by far the most interesting, not only for image quality and dual-core processor, but above all, to include a front camera which serves both to use Skype to turn your TV into a giant mirror , to handle the device with voice and gestures.

The system, which is strongly reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect, works with 36 voice commands. To ensure compatibility have been used as a standard speech than 140 different Spanish regions. They do not provide data on the number of voices taken, but the company says it is configured for 20 languages.

The front camera is also used to follow exercise programs and fitness and to recognize the family member is before them and adapt content to your tastes, or in the case of minors, at their age.

The number of applications continues to grow: YouTube, or MyMadrid Antena 3 (the official Real Madrid) Yomvi to subscribers of Canal +, or MyTele (Telecinco). They can do with their key channel, and another through a normal TV through the decoder. For now, all applications are free.

One of the sensations that the consumer is more concerned about finding the right time to buy a unit. "Is it worth waiting for the next generation?" is the question most often do. To encourage the sale of more expensive models in the catalog, Samsung has included an expansion slot that allows you to upgrade the TV, either with more processing power or memory. The so-called Evolution Kit will be released in 2013, no specific price and without a more accurate description.

Samsung is not alone in the idea that television is the gateway to the Internet at home. Apart from being a claim for renewal of equipment, manufacturers see that they can make agreements with other technology sectors, as the software or hardware. Apple TV or Google TV can be converted, at the same time, partners and competitors.

There comes a smart floor

Can you imagine a city where streets are digital ? With the Smart Way, more than 50,000 citizens and tourists who walk every day for the city center may receive information tourist and commercial area with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth : city maps, maps of public transport, access to entertainment or information about events and more. All these digital services come from a "virtual cloud" installed on the pavement.

The City of Madrid and ASEPI (Innovative Business Group Smart Pavement Spain) presented the first such installation in the Puerta del Sol consists of a natural stone pavement made ​​of calcium carbonate that integrates all the electronic equipment necessary for the digital services. It also incorporates a podotáctil routing adapted to the blind.

This initiative aims to make ASEPI Spanish cities in pioneering digital pavement and create a smart city model exportable to the rest of the world.

China tested a train capable of traveling at 500 kilometers per hour

The China Railway Construction CSR has just launched its first train test capable of reaching 500 kilometers per hour , the highest speed attained by these vehicles, as reported by Xinhua news agency. The new series of CRH (China Railway High Speed, for its acronym in English), is gray, has six cars and has a capacity of 22,800 kilowatts , compared to 9,600 kilowatts of current "CRH380 bullet train", which reaches over 300 kilometers per hours. The technical manager of the company, Sansan Ding says that this device is super-fast "was inspired by an ancient Chinese sword," and that the plastic body of the vehicle is reinforced with carbon fiber. For the Asian country, the expansion of this kind of transportation is of great importance in the economic, cultural and social development of different regions.

Nanotechnology to turn your mobile phone submersible

A Southern California company has created Liquipel , one of the most revolutionary inventions for smartphones . It is a chemical protector, manufactured using tiny nanoparticles , which isolates the circuits and other components of the mobile phones of any liquid that may fall on the apparatus. Thus, claim to have achieved one of the most common accidents with any gadget, get wet-no longer a concern for users. According to its creators, the terminal continues to operate normally when falling into a pool or a river . It is not a housing or a physical barrier, but a treatment that apply to your own only in the company headquarters Liquipel. The isolation of the phone has a cost ranging from 47 to 62 euros depending on the type of transport by which the device is sent to the offices and for it to be delivered back to the user. Devices from HTC, Motorola, Apple and Samsung are those who, for the moment, you may receive this treatment.

Arrival of the first magnetic soap

Scientists at the University of Bristol (United Kingdom) iron salts dissolved in a liquid to create a new soap that can be controlled by magnets . The discovery could be used to manufacture revolutionary products of household and industrial cleaning and to remove oil stains from the oceans and to treat contaminated water , among other applications. To obtain the magnetic soap, the researcher Julian Eastoe and colleagues dissolved iron in a soap rich liquid chlorine and bromine , similar to that used in products in mouthwash or fabric softeners. The traditional soap dissolves dirt, grease and other chemicals, but does not eliminate the environment. However, applying a magnetic field the magnetic soap, the debris that accumulates can be attracted and removed completely. Although Eastoe had tried to create soaps sensitive to light, temperature and pressure, this new method appears to be magnets more effective for controlled cleaning of any means or surface, by activating or deactivating the magnets.

Virtual Reality through bionic contact lenses

Imagine being able to check email without a screen? This science fiction could become a reality, thanks to contact lenses bionic that will receive computerized information directly into the eyes. These modern contact lenses have been developed by researchers at the Universities of Washington and Aalto (Finland), and although still in prototype stage, have already been tested in rabbits without showing adverse effects.

The lenses, which have many applications in the development of devices for computers and virtual reality will also be very useful in the field of health. As he explained to SINC Praviz Baba, one of the researchers on the project, the device "could also have medical applications such as biosensors connection to provide information on levels of glucose and lactose."

For transmit images directly in the eye, the energy emitted by the source is contained in a circuit that transmits a transparent sapphire chip. So far, the lens contains only one pixel and the team also works to shorten the focal length so that the projections are not perceived by the eye is blurred. It also notes Praviz, "the next goal is the incorporation of a standard text in the contact lens."

Glasses to replace the computer and the mobile

In the future need not look down at your computer or mobile device, because we can see all the information through glasses. Robocop style This technology is not science fiction, many companies are already working on it. Some of them presented their progress at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (USA), a huge market where small and large companies give their ideas and innovations in electronics.

One of the prototypes of glasses, presented by the company Lumus Optics (Tel Aviv, Israel), gets the images from a computer or mobile device via Bluetooth. Ari Grobman, company manager, told Technology Review of the multiple possibilities offered by these technologies. For example, adding a camera to goggle systems could be used facial recognition as those who already use Facebook and Google that helps users in tasks like tagging photos. 

For its part, the company Vuzic (Rochester, New York), has developed an industrial version designed to work like overlapping planes of a machine in the vision of a mechanic. The device is very useful in facilitating the work of any technical support team, they will be able to obtain images in your field of vision to guide them.

Other companies are working on augmented reality applications, similar to those that already exist in some smartphones . Aurasma, a division of Autonomy software company, has developed a device that can recognize images of reference and add virtual 3D objects. It is also possible to recognize hand gestures, which facilitates the interactivity of virtual content in smart glasses. 

much more futuristic, the Smart Goggles Sensics Company (Columbia, USA) covering the eyes and ears of a person and completely immerse you in a virtual world 3D . This is possible thanks to 11 mobile phone cameras and a video screen in front of each eye. 

In the not too distant future this type of innovation will change things so much that he said Matt Mills, a member of Aurasma, the most often to get information is through smart glasses need to go to a web browser Internet , as this procedure is much faster than even take a photo.

Viruses are hooked to mobile

A bomb in his pocket. It's what we have become the smartphone as specialists and security firms gathered for the first time at the fair in Barcelona to discuss the dangers of mobile as a new source of scams and attacks. And his conclusion seems unanimous: Android is a real security loophole.

"Android is not that technologically worse, is simply a problem of neglect by Google. It has been necessary protective measures and above has the largest market share. The threat is real and serious, "says Rick Ferguson, research director at Trend Micro, who points out further that the malware on mobile phones has grown by 1,400% in recent months and could reach 130,000 malicious code at the end of 2012.

The last case occurred just this week in France, where police have arrested two suspected mobile Android 2,000 infected with the Trojan Foncy. SMS sending program without user authorization, a technique that criminals have pocketed more than 100,000 euros.

"People know they can not have a PC with no protection but that conviction has not reached the phone. And the danger is the same, almost no difference between a computer and a smartphone. Indeed, in the future there will be no home computers, tablets and mobile only. Android will be the main focus of attack at home, Windows will remain at the company, "says Eugene Kaspersky of Russia, founder of Kaspersky Labs

Between 2005 and 2010 were detected in less than 1,200 worldwide attacks of malware on mobile, but now that figure is well over a month. "It's an exponential growth," said Kaspersky. According to the firm, 75% of viruses on smartphones are discovered on Android devices. Then comes Symbian and Windows Phone. IOS barely on the map, despite having a market share below some Android.

Among the threats there are to choose from. It is possible to create a mobile infiltrate botnets and launch denial of service (DDoS) to knock down webs. Applications are another major focus. Just hide a virus in a game or a productivity program to infiltrate the mobile to download it. Once inside, the Trojan can divert banking transactions, made ​​with all the information stored on your computer (email, contacts, photos) or send SMS to numbers premium without your knowledge.

It is estimated that a cybercriminal can earn between 1,500 and 4,000 euros a day engaging phones. In Russia recently amassed over a million dollars in a scam SMS with Trojan Alphawap. Alarming figures, which flows into the eternal debate: if the problem is so bad, why even security firms generate business just to sell security software on the phone? Is it a real or inflated by the interests of the sector?

Chris DiBona, chief of free software programs from Google, is clear: "The security companies try to scare people to sell protection on Android, RIM or IOS. They are charlatans and swindlers, they should be ashamed of themselves, "recently wrote in with your Google Account +.

Ferguson, Trend Micro, adjusts her hair, tattoos and scratches take a laugh. "Google is the one who should be ashamed. The proof that Android is not safe Bouncer, your new system to monitor applications. Even works well, "he says.

It's true. Yago Jesus, security specialist, developed a few hours last week in a simple program with erotic pictures, he infiltrated a Trojan, hung it on the Android Market and, surprise, was published without problems. "If you descargabas it, the phone was completely at our mercy. We could access all content or even record your conversations remotely without you found out, "says Yago Jesus. Google took nearly 24 hours to remove. "That in IOS is more difficult to occur, is a very closed environment. Android is just the opposite. "

The use of social networks on the fly, messaging services like WhatsApp, which processes 2,000 million messages a day, or payment systems such as Google Wallet, turns the phone into a juicy target. Nigel Stanley, security analyst at Bloor Research believes the problem is huge. "The interest is emerging among the community of hackers to compromise mobile is worrisome, "he says.

Garlati Cesare, director of Trend Micro, also indicates that the threats on the phone very soon affect businesses. An added incentive for cybercriminals. "If confidential information on mobile phones and tablets is compromised, companies could lose millions. And that's happening, "he says.

Yago Jesus doubt that security firms to contain the problem, at least for now. "It's like a carpenter to put a glass melt, have no expertise in mobility, criminals are ahead," he says. Garlati nervous arms waving, to the Italian. "Nonsense, we already have many experts and ficharemos more. We are winning the war on the PC, we will win the mobile phone. "

A wireless mouse without batteries

The independence of the cables is something that many users would not hesitate for a second to claim, but despite the increased autonomy that the batteries have been recorded in recent times, eventually leaving us at a critical time. It is not the first time we heard about a wireless mouse that requires no batteries, but the good news here is that the people of Genius has launched the DX-ECO BlueEye Mouse . How long do you need to load? Only three minutes.

Not having to deal with cables has great appeal, not to mention the aesthetic benefits that occur between certain computers. However, a golden rule is that wireless devices will know when the batteries have run out at exactly the time when you need to use them. But if the idea of ​​a battery-free wireless mouse grabs your attention, here's a different one.

This is the DX-ECO BlueEye Genius Mouse . You can choose the resolution between 800 and 1600 dpi, has a total of seven buttons, and uses a USB receiver peak, so you will not fight looking for a special position for the receiver (plug in a USB port front is certainly ideal but connected to a USB extender is also somewhat viable). It has an operating range of fifteen feet, and the recharge is through micro-USB cable included. The DX-ECO Mouse BlueEye only requires a charge time of three minutes, thanks to a so-called "golden capacitor" built-in mouse. This capacitor provides a maximum of one hundred thousand recharges , a number well above the amount of recharges batteries.

For 31 euros
The price is $ 40 U.S. (31 €), a reasonable sum. The user must not constantly recharge or have spare batteries installed ready when they run out. But more important is the recharge time. There are only three minutes, so you can go to steal something from the kitchen to chew or comply with a typical "biological commitment," and find the mouse fully charged when you return to your computer. When using a USB receiver there should be no compatibility issues, but does not mention support for Linux.

The 'strawberry tree': a public mobile charger solar powered

You're outside, away from home, desperate because the battery of your mobile phone is empty and you have several pending calls. The citizens of Belgrade and need not worry: you can load it for free on the street with a device that works with solar energy.

What mystery Belgrade street store? Host a 'Strawberry Tree' ( strawberry tree ), a brainchild of a group of young people who designed and built a public charger mobile phones, tablets, MP3 players, cameras and other portable devices powered by solar energy.

The invention was awarded last year in the competition in Brussels 'EU Sustainable Energy Europe' on the reduction of public consumption of energy, and has achieved a number of national awards.

"Our goal was to bring renewable energy to all people, closer to all, "said Milos Milisavljevic, the main inventor of the 'Strawberry Tree', an energetic and ambitious student of electrical engineering 22 years .

The operation of the system sounds simple. "The sun that reaches us is converted into solar panels into electricity, which passes through the 'strawberry tree' and enters the cell, "he explains.

"The energy that is generated during the day and not eaten, is stored in the storage battery so the system can work well at night , when it is cloudy , when it snows, "he says.

The sun that reaches us is converted into electrical energy solar panels, which passes through the 'strawberry tree' and enters the phone charger, inspired by the tree as an important ecological and a design of understated elegance, is the trunk of a metal, wooden benches that surround it, cables for different types of portable devices, and a metal roof on which they are placed solar panels. "The basic idea is derived for the tree, and hence its name. The tree uses sunlight to produce oxygen, and our tree used to generate the energy," he said.

The mobile phone was the key, because "everybody has," and only in Serbia, a country of some 7.5 million inhabitants, there are 10 million .

Consumption are small, but if you add the energy of moving 5,000 million, estimated in the world, is no longer enough, he says.

The Tree of strawberries' reaches a 80% energy efficiency , and ordinary chargers only 20%.

It also has an educational aspect because it brings users to the concept of sustainable energy and social one, because all three in the country have been installed in streets or places frequented its banks and people meet, chat and exchange views while waiting that the batteries charge.

In Serbia, the charger has been installed also in the northern city of Novi Sad, and Obrenovac, 35 kilometers east of Belgrade where the largest thermal power station in the Balkans.

"By 2012, we intend to export shippers , install at least one, modestly, for starters, out of our country, and we hope to become a reality, "said Milisavljevic.

The team of eight students of electrical, mechanical, architectural and colleagues say they want to make the world a better place by contributing what you can and ask everyone to give a small contribution because it "may come up with something great." "What matters is that people understand, because you think you alone can not do anything and therefore does not have enough motivation," he explains.

A car is powered by coffee and reaches a high speed record

Year and a half ago we learned the coffee car, one of those cars rarely created by a group of Britons who made ​​some alterations to a car and could be moving, jogging, taking as fuel bags of coffee beans. The creation of this vehicle was the brainchild of Martin and his friends Beacon Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham, England.

Thanks to this invention, achieved the Guinness record for speed in the speed category for vehicles that run through gasification of organic wastes.

This car achieved an average speed exceeding 107 km / h, and pulverizing the previous record of 75 km / h which belongs to the U.S. Energy Beaver that was powered by wood pellets.

With this creation, the British group wanted to demonstrate that renewable energy is very useful for driving vehicles. If they see that the car does not look like this, is because they changed the Volkswagen Scirocco for a Rover SD1. Before it was more like a DeLorean, the car who presented their pipes and containers carried inside.

Guitar with touch screen on Gentoo Linux

Michael Digital Mass invented a guitar that is the peculiar characteristic lack of ropes!, instead the guitar includes a multi-touch screen and buttons, I recommend watching the following video demonstration.

This guitar uses an AMD Geode processor and works thanks to a minimalist version of Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.31 Linux, also supports MIDI and Ethernet ports for communications.

Must be cool to play a guitar like this, right?. =)

3D movies in the air

Burton The company has created a device that looks more like science fiction than reality. This is a system for projecting images on the air without a physical screen, just exciting oxygen and nitrogen from air.
About a year ago we reported that the University of Arizona had developed the first device that allowed holographic record a scene and display it elsewhere in near real time , or whatever it is, a machine that could dimensional telepresence. Now it seems that business is getting closer to achieving a real device reproducing 3D video without the need for physical support.

3D Aerial, as they have called in Burton, is still under development, but as they say from Popular Science , have managed to create 50,000 points of light per second and a speed of between 10 and 15 frames per second. The conventional video broadcast between 24 and 30 frames per second according to the reproductive system, so that now Aerial 3 D work like the old videos that appeared slightly slowed.

As explained from the brand itself, the system is based on the plasma emission at a specific point. " controlling the position with the axis "x" "y" and "z" is getting real 3D image composed of dots in the air . "

Over 100 million Europeans have never used Internet

Almost one third of the 500 million people living in the European Union has never used the Internet and there is a wide division between northern Europe, most experienced technology issues, and the south and east, poorer, according to agency Eurostat statistics.  Thus, more than half the population of Romania and just under half of those living in Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Portugal do not have Internet access at home.

Moreover, the figures underline the lack of opportunities for the population of the poorest communities to participate in developments like the Internet, which has provided products and services at lower cost to millions of people.  Another of the most surprising results of the survey was that Spain , a modern economy within Europe, has a relatively modest rate of Internet access and electronic commerce: only 64 percent of households are connected and only 39 percent of the population buys online, according to the figures.  The countries with the lowest usage rates also tend to be those with the least number of fixed broadband connections and those who make less use of electronic commerce.

Nokia raises the snake game

Many nostalgic recall the mythical snake game on phones from Nokia . Now the Finnish company "rises" to snake through the web version of the game, as Nokia has been designed to be as close as possible to the original.  Among the most addictive classic games and hours of entertainment has given users is certainly ' Snake ', a simple game that Nokia installed as standard on models like the 5110 or 3210. Having now the game seems like the easiest thing in the world, and that was and is precisely its charm.

On the screen was drawn square and appeared inside a bar moving across the screen according to the orders of users (with the buttons telephone) chasing a small point. When the bar reached the point shifted position and so on. As the game progressed, the snake increased his speed and size, making it was increasingly difficult to get new points.

'Snake' was a success and it evolved in Nokia successive models, but they tested the first version fondly remember the magic of a simple game. Currently, the title seems he had gone as he knew, but Nokia has decided to launch a Web version of the same for the nostalgic.  In Nokia Conversation blog, the company has written an entry that has published the game. This is a version intended to be as similar to the original. Users can use the arrow keys to steer the snake, which returns in frantic pursuit.

United States shows his grenades "smart"

If we talk of war and equipment, there are few countries that use technology to that end one of them is the United States, who every day are taking the battle to a more virtual. Now have presented a grenade launcher "smart".

Some time ago that this country spends millions of dollars in technology development of war, not only cyberataques but the weapons themselves.

The future that we all saw in movies with robots wars not so long ago, now the new weapon is called the XM25 grenade launcher. These latter 100% radio controlled and assisted by a laser sight.

Now the soldiers of the U.S. Army currently in Afghanistan will have a new smart weapon. The Department of Defense issued from December, the first batch launcher grenade XM25.
The XM25 fires projectiles programmable and controlled by radio , to operate in the place pointed to by the soldier, a total of 12,500 units were assigned this weapon. The gun, which took about seven years of laboratory development, it costs $ 35,000 per unit , and is targeted as a revolutionary weapon of war.

By laser is possible to indicate a point 700 meters away, and radio controlled pomegranate may be detonated before reaching the point indicated or minutes later.

For this feature, the soldier can not "wander" in their missions killing defenseless civilians, but we now know exactly where and when it will explode the projectile.

This weapon has leaked as oddly enough is based on the movie "The Fifth Element" in which the villain (Zorg) had a grenade up this style.

No doubt that this technology is more than this weapon not only on the gun itself, but throughout the firing system, which is 100% made by a computer microchip placed inside each shell.

Human Charger: convert body heat into energy

Fujitsu Laboratories developed a small device that when used on the human body converts body heat into energy. The project is still being perfected and should reach the market by 2015, many manufacturers are already interested in this technology.

This battery has a hybrid operation, as it can be powered by sunlight but in turn also thanks to the warmth.

At that time the stores this energy like a battery for later use. The device also is hybrid because it also manages to capture energy from sunlight.

This new venture may have huge profits that have not yet been tested, this is the first product that harnesses the power of warmth and sunlight at the same time.
Previously this required two separate devices and elements such as batteries.

"In the field of medicine this technology can be used in sensors that monitor conditions such as temperature, blood pressure and heart problems, without electrical connection, "the company said.

"If the ambient light and heat were not enough to power the sensor, this technology can supply power to both sources increased each other. Besides this device can be used to control for example the weather forecast."

Fujitsu is still working to perfect your project and hopes to release it in early 2015.

The iPhone 5 will have a different processor than the iPhone 3

The iPhone 4S takes only two months on the market but is already thinking about the next model of Apple. Several analysts say that Apple is planning to incorporate the iPhone 5 different processor to be the future iPad 3 and extend the screen resolution on the iPhone 4S .

So far, Apple has scrupulously followed a schedule of launching its iPhone and Apple devices. Typically, earlier this year launching a new model of 'tablet' of the company in October introduced a new iPhone.

With this strategy, Apple tends to surprise with a next generation processor for 'tablet', which is then used in the new iPhone to take your power and mobile experience.

Apple's philosophy of using the same processor at the two terminals may go down in history in 2012. Susquehanna Financial Analysts quoted by the portal Pwnagetoo, Apple will introduce two different processors next year, one for the iPad 3 and one for the iPhone 5.

The company would develop totally new processor for your smartphone ' , designed in a specific power and possibilities for a mobile phone. For now do not know the details of any of the two processors, although it has been speculated on some of its features.

All indications are that Apple will use multi-core technology for the two processors, as they are already doing some of its competitors. There is talk of quad-core processors as one possibility although no official data.

Improved screen and camera
Additionally, the display of the next iPhone could reach 4.2 inches, surpassing the 3.5 markedly iPhone 4S. Apple expanded the size, possibly reducing the frames of the phone. In this way, the iPhone 5 could have a similar size to the iPhone 4S.

Another rumor suggests that the screen, while increasing, have more resolution. The latest model in the market, the iPhone 4S, with a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels per inch to 326 . According to the German portal Macerkopf, Apple increase the screen resolution on the iPhone 5 to 1440 by 800 pixels.

The camera aspect that Apple has placed special emphasis on 4S also iPhone could be renewed. In this sense, the new iPhone 5 increase from 8 to 12 megapixel potential.

So are the screens of the future

Samsung has presented to users through a video which can be a new generation of displays, the so-called flexible displays. They would operate like any other screen of a smartphone or tablet , but with the difference that there is no case to support it and the ability to bend. It is a concept that can make the future of the screens.

In fact, the screen would work like a smartphone or tablet , but has the same thickness as a sheet of paper. With this new AMOLED Flexible screen users could make video calls, read newspapers or enjoy images in three dimensions while can see what happens in the real world looking through it.

Despite the ongoing dispute with Apple, Samsung remains as to patents in courts around the world, South Korea continues to surprise users with the new Samsung Flexible AMOLED screen and shows that continues to promote research into new technologies.

Moreover, Samsung Electronics shares rose more than 2% on Monday after a judge rejected the request for Apple to ban the sale of Galaxy in the U.S., easing concerns about a business that generates quarterly revenue 9.669 million euros (13,000 million).
