And yet one news story, from late September, has done the same. More than 7.5 million people came together in cities and villages across the planet to call in unison for an environmentally just and sustainable world. This is a story that speaks to RTB’s mission and purpose and demonstrates the concept of Restorative Community that’s so central to our existence. You can see it in the image that juxtaposed September’s global crowds with the prior year’s solitary Swedish protester. You can hear it in the words spoken by an Indigenous Brazilian teen to 250,000 people lining the streets of New York City. Restorative Community is a force multiplier for our own personal commitments to justice, health and peace. It nurtures and supports us as individuals, unites and strengthens us as a movement and harnesses our differences in service of our common goals. In community, we respect, enjoy and learn from each other. As you page through this year’s annual report, we hope you experience the same!

  • Next-Gen Technology Transformation in Financial Services
    April 2020 Next-gen Technology transformation in Financial Services Introduction Financial Services technology is currently in the midst of a profound transformation, as CIOs and their teams prepare to embrace the next major phase of digital transformation. The challenge they face is significant: in a competitive environment of rising cost pressures, where rapid action and response is imperative, financial institutions must modernize their technology function to support expanded digitization of both the front and back ends of their businesses. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 situation is putting immense pressure on technology capabilities (e.g., remote working, new cyber-security threats) and requires CIOs to anticipate and prepare for the “next normal” (e.g., accelerated shift to digital channels). Most major financial institutions are well aware of the imperative for action and have embarked on the necessary transformation. However, it is early days—based on our experience, most are only at the beginning of their journey. And in addition to the pressures mentioned above, many are facing challenges in terms of funding, complexity, and talent availability. This collection of articles—gathered from our recent publishing on the theme of financial services technology—is intended to serve as a roadmap for executives tasked with ramping up technology innovation, increasing tech productivity, and modernizing their platforms. The articles are organized into three major themes: 1. Reimagine the role of technology to be a business and innovation partner 2. Reinvent technology delivery to drive a step change in productivity and speed 3. Future-proof the foundation by building flexible and secure platforms The pace of change in financial services technology—as with technology more broadly—leaves very little time for leaders to respond.

This is basically one-half of an AC/DC power supply circuit, consisting of a line power plug, on/off switch, fuse, indicator lamp, and a step-down transformer. The reason this project idea is strongly recommended is that it may serve as the basis for the recommended power supply project in the next course (ELTR120 – Semiconductors 1). If you build the AC section now, you will not have to re-build an enclosure or any of the line-power circuitry later!

    Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering EE 6504-Electrical Machines-II UNIT-I 1. Why a 3-phase synchronous motor will always run at synchronous speed? Because of the magnetic coupling between the stator poles and rotor poles the motor runs exactly at synchronous speed. 2. What are the two classification synchronous machines? The classification synchronous machines are: i. Cylindrical rotor type ii. Salient pole rotor type 3. What are the essential features of synchronous machine? i. The rotor speed is synchronous with stator rotating field. ii. Varying its field current can easily vary the speed. iii. It is used for constant speed operation. 4. Mention the methods of starting of 3-phase synchronous motor. a. A D.C motor coupled to the synchronous motor shaft. b. A small induction motor coupled to its shaft.(pony method) c. Using damper windings –started as a squirrel cage induction motor. 5. What are the principal advantages of rotating field system type of construction of synchronous machines? · Form Stationary connection between external circuit and system of conditions enable the machine to handle large amount of volt-ampere as high as 500 MVA. · The relatively small amount of power required for field system can be easily supplied to the rotating field system via slip rings and brushes. · More space is available in the stator part of the machine for providing more insulation to the system of conductors. · Insulation to stationary system of conductors is not subjected to mechanical stresses due to centrifugal action. · Stationary system of conductors can easily be braced to prevent deformation.

  • Microgeneration Strategy: Progress Report
    MICROGENERATION STRATEGY Progress Report JUNE 2008 Foreword by Malcolm Wicks It is just over two years since The Microgeneration Strategy was launched. Since then climate change and renewables have jumped to the top of the global and political agendas. Consequently, it is more important than ever that reliable microgeneration offers individual householders the chance to play their part in tackling climate change. In March 2006, there was limited knowledge in the UK about the everyday use of microgeneration technologies, such as solar thermal heating, ground source heat pumps, micro wind or solar photovolatics. Much has changed since then. Thousands of people have considered installing these technologies or have examined grants under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme. Many have installed microgeneration and, in doing so, will have helped to reduce their demand for energy, thereby cutting both their CO2 emissions and their utility bills. The Government’s aim in the Strategy was to identify obstacles to creating a sustainable microgeneration market. I am pleased that the majority of the actions have been completed and this report sets out the excellent progress we have made. As a consequence of our work over the last two years, we have benefited from a deeper understanding of how the microgeneration market works and how it can make an important contribution to a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Building an evidence base, for example, from research into consumer behaviour, from tackling planning restrictions and from tracking capital costs, means that we are now in a better position to take forward work on building a sustainable market for microgeneration in the UK.
