House Fires in S.B. Destroy Two Homes Your Local Connection FEBRUARY 18, 2010 SentiiieNORTH BRUNSWICK • SOUTH BRUNSWICK l gmnews.com 50< S.B. company gets drug approved by FDA BV JENNIFER BOOTON Staff Writer pharmaceutical company based in Monmouth Junction recently re- Aceived its first drug approval from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Upon the announcement last week some township officials seemed hopeful that the news could help bolster the local economy. INNOPHARMA, located on Deerpark Road, announced the FDA approval of the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for ibutilide fumarale injection, the generic drug of Pfizer's Corvert, which helps to treat cardiac arrhythmia. One of nearly three-dozen phannaceuti- cal and high-tech research and development companies in the township, INNOPHARMA focuses on niche gcneric and specialty pharmaceutical products. The drug is the first of the company's FDA ap- provals. "Being that it's their first [approval], it brings a sense of credibility and respect to INNOPHARMA and to their New Jersey office," Councilman Jo.seph Camarota said. The good news comes just months after two large corporations — Pfizer and Dow Jones — announced their decision to relo- cate out of the township, which will ulti- mately cost the township thousands of dollars.

Gold can become a very profitable way to miike money with out even trying, and can help you erase debts you may have. Did your grandmother give you a necklace that just is not your style? Do you have old jewelry lying around the house that you no longer want or need? If the answer is yes, then you may have found a way to pay down debts. Right now, many people are paying over 20% in interest rates on credit cards because they don't have the cash. But if you take a look around, your gold may bring you money! At East Brunswick Gold Exchange, you can get cash for your gold in only minutes after entering the .store. There is no obligation and all testing and weighing is done for free so you can find out what your gold is worth. So, how does the process work? Bring your gold in and let East Brunswick Gold Exchange evaluate how much it is worth.

However, if its jewelry that you no longer like or if is broken, it is of no value to you, and money of course would be much more valuable. The price is also affected by the process the gold will go through, such as being melted and brought back to its original gold state.

Academic Editor: Joeri Van Mierlo Received: 25 July 2015 / Accepted: 12 September 2015 / Published: 25 September 2015 Abstract: A review of flywheel energy storage technology was made, with a special focus on the progress in automotive applications. We found that there are at least 26 university research groups and 27 companies contributing to flywheel technology development. Flywheels are seen to excel in high-power applications, placing them closer in functionality to supercapacitors than to batteries. Examples of flywheels optimized for vehicular applications were found with a specific power of 5.5 kW/kg and a specific energy of 3.5 Wh/kg. Another flywheel system had 3.15 kW/kg and 6.4 Wh/kg, which can be compared to a state-of-the-art supercapacitor vehicular system with 1.7 kW/kg and 2.3 Wh/kg, respectively. Flywheel energy storage is reaching maturity, with 500 flywheel power buffer systems being deployed for London buses (resulting in fuel savings of over 20%), 400 flywheels in operation for grid frequency regulation and many hundreds more installed for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications.

Sotingco Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on May 11, 2012 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Abstract Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are vehicles that utilize power from both an internal combustion engine and an electric battery that can be recharged from the grid. Simulations of series, parallel, and split-architecture PHEVs, as well as parallel and split PHEVs with ultracapacitors, were performed in Autonomie, the vehicle simulation package released by Argonne National Laboratory as the successor to the Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). The PHEV configurations were parameterized by battery capacity, motor peak power, engine peak power, and ultracapacitor capacity if applicable. Results were compared to EPA data for the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius, showing close agreement on values for fuel consumption, charge-depleting range, and acceleration time.
