  • Easements, Access and Riparian Rights a Guide to the Laws Governing Access to Michigan’S Lakes, Streams and Waterways
    | 1 Easements, Access and Riparian Rights A Guide to the Laws Governing Access to Michigan’s Lakes, Streams and Waterways Daniel P. Dalton, Larry Opalewski, Alex Reuter and Adel Nucho | 2 Do you own or plan to purchase property on or near a Michigan lake or other waterbody? Are you concerned about others using your property to access the water without your permission? Understanding the laws governing easements, riparian rights and access to waterways, and how those laws relate to your property, is crucial to ensuring your ability to enjoy it. So what do you need to know? | 3 ith more than 11,000 inland lakes in the state of Michigan, many property disputes arise concerning W the rights and interests of those owning land on and around them1. Most disputes that make it to court involve lakefront property owners seeking to prevent backlot owners from accessing or using the lake in a certain manner. This paper will give you a better understanding of your property rights—whether you own or plan to purchase property on or near a waterbody. Specifically, you will learn the significance of own- ing land that touches a waterbody, as opposed to being near the same. Additionally, it will explain how you can legally access a waterbody using another person’s private property. The Michigan-based land use and zoning attorneys of Dalton & Tomich, PLC have helped clients defend their rights to use and access lakes and other waterbodies across the state of Michigan. If you own property on or near a Michigan lake, or you plan to purchase such property soon, please contact us.

  • UM Professor's Startup Attracts Funding As It Works on Advanced Lithiumion
    Other editions: Mobile | News Feeds | E­Newsletters | Subscribe to the Free Press Find it: Jobs | Cars | Real Estate | Apartments | Shopping | Classifieds SPONSORED BY: U­M professor's start­up attracts funding as it works (RICK NEASE) on advanced lithium­ion batteries to save auto industry BY KATHERINE YUNG • FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITER • DECEMBER 9, 2008 Print this page E­mail this article Share this article: In a modest office near Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, Ann Marie Sastry oversees a small group of engineers racing to create what could become the ultimate savior of the U.S. automobile industry: a next­generation lithium­ion battery. Since its founding last year, Sastry's company, called Sakti3 Inc., has emerged as one of Michigan's most important start­up firms. It's seeking nothing less than making electric vehicles an affordable and reliable reality worldwide. It also hopes to turn Michigan into a major producer of lithium­ion batteries for electric vehicles. "This is a moment," said Sastry, a University of Michigan professor of mechanical, biomedical and materials science and engineering. "We're teetering on the edge of electrification." Sakti3 is working on a more advanced lithium­ion battery than the one that is to be used in the upcoming Chevrolet Volt. It's also a Michigan­based company, unlike A123 Systems Inc. SUSAN TUSA/Detroit Free Press and Compact Power Inc., the two firms competing to supply batteries for the Volt. Though Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Sakti3, in her offices in Ann Arbor they operate offices in the state, A123 is based in Watertown, Mass., and Compact Power is a last week.

  • How Advanced Battery Technology and Lower Costs Are About to Disrupt the Electric Car Industry
    How advanced battery technology and lower costs are about to disrupt the electric car industry If car buyers haven’t hesitated over limited range and recharging infrastructure, the cars’ high upfront costs certainly has scared off many potential customers. Those high price tags are largely driven by the cost of the battery. Not all batteries are expensive, however, lithium-ion batteries are. Automakers switched from nickel metal hydride batteries to lithium batteries in commercial EVs because lithi- um-ion battery technology enables cells with higher energy densities (kWh/kg), higher power densities (W/kg), significantly higher cycle life and greater safety than other bat- tery chemistries. Currently, cost of these batteries is high, but it is expected that in- creased volume sales and technology improvements will significantly reduce the cost in the future. “When you move into an all-electric vehicle,” Ford CEO Alan Mulally recently told a For- tune magazine forum on green technology, “the battery size moves up to around 23 kWh, [and] it weighs around 600 to 700 lbs. They’re around $12,000 to $15,000 [each]” in a compact car the size of a $20,000+ gasoline-powered Focus. “So you can see why the economics are what they are.” Currently, customers pay about $520 per kWh for the batteries fitted to the electric Ford Focus, one of the more affordable vehicles available today. The price level the US Ad- vanced Battery Consortium is targeting for a fairly affordable electric car battery is about $125 per kWh. However, figures recently released by Lux Research, an independent research and advisory firm that focuses on emerging technologies, indicate that the low- est cost battery at the moment is produced by Tesla at $274 per kWh.
