  • 하천 내 반려동물 운동·휴식 편의시설 설치 하천법 일부개정법률안 대표발의
        더불어민주당 김회재 의원(전남 여수시을)은 13일 하천 내 반려동물 편의시설을 설치할 수 있도록 하는 내용의 '하천법 일부개정법률안'을 대표 발의했다. 현행법 상 하천구역에서 가축을 방목·사육하는 행위는 금지되어 있다. 그러나 반려동물 가구가 늘어남에 따라 반려동물과 함께 하천을 이용하는 사례가 많아, 이들을 위한 별도의 휴식 등 편의시설이 필요하다는 지적이다. 이에 김 의원은 개정안을 통해 하천구역 내 반려동물 운동·휴식시설을 설치할 수 있도록 규제 조항을 일부 완화했다. 또한 이용 급증에 따라 발생할 환경 오염을 예방하기 위해 오염 실태 주기적 검사, 오염 우려지역 조치 명령 등도 개정안에 포함했다. 국무조정실은 올해 2월 규제개혁신문고에 접수된 국민 건의 중 하천 내 소규모 반려동물 놀이터 등 설치를 대표 사례로 선정해, 2022년까지 법 개정을 추진하겠다 밝힌 바 있다. 김회재 의원은 “반려동물 천만 시대에 많은 시민이 반려동물과 함께 생활하고 있다. 시민과 함께하는 반려동물도 불편함이 없도록 규제를 완화할 필요가 있다”고 지적했다.

But the economic is slowly recovering and I believe there are opportunities even though it’s a difficult situation. It’s late if you start preparing when the good opportunity happened. You should decide the direction you want to go and make the qualifications and experience to match the job you want. If you decide a job you want to do, I’d like to recommend that you get information about the company you want to work as much as you can. It would be helpful that find the company’s management direction, changes in the industry and company’s outlook. Many companies want you if If you can clearly show your potential and your goals to contribute within the company.

  • [단독외신] New high voltage battery housing for lightweight emobility developed by Evonik and partners
    New high voltage battery housing for lightweight emobility developed by Evonik and partners New high voltage battery housing for lightweight e- mobility developed by Evonik and partners • Novel SMC materials reduce battery housing weight by ~10% while maintaining strength and high voltage performance • Lightweight battery components deliver significant energy savings to ensure suitability for all vehicle size and classes • Evonik’s new epoxy SMC – VESTALITE® S curing agent enables lightweight design and production flexibility Essen, Germany. Evonik as part of a consortium of companies, has developed a lighter and more cost-effective battery concept for e- mobility solutions. The new holistic battery system concept offers the automotive industry a safer and more energy efficient lightweight alternative to the heavier metal-based, or higher priced carbon fiber-reinforced plastics. Although millions of electric cars and plug-in hybrids are already on the roads worldwide, there are still no generally applicable standards for the individual components. However, significant efforts are currently being made to standardize individual vehicle assemblies and establish a cross-market component standard. Increasing the range of the vehicles by improving the storage capacity of the batteries and efficient energy recovery is currently one of the main areas of focus. In addition, reducing the weight of the individual vehicle components can also help to reduce the amount of energy required to overcome driving resistance (e.g. tire rolling, gradient, acceleration). To this end, Evonik, Forward Engineering, LION Smart, Lorenz Kunststofftechnik and Vestaro (a joint venture of Evonik and Forward Engineering), began working together on a modular- multi-material approach at the end of 2019. Today, the partnership has developed a brand-independent, cost-effective solution that significantly reduces the weight of the battery housing by approximately 10 percent compared to other commonly used material combinations, without any loss in mechanical properties. Developed for three different battery-sizes, 65kWh, 85 kWh and 120 kWh for use in various vehicles sizes and class, one of the key elements of the new battery concept is the glass fiber (GF)- Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) cover. Based on the high-performance epoxy curing agent VESTALITE® S from Evonik, the new SMC delivers the performance levels of the previous metal-based battery enclosures, while being significantly lighter than the current more cost-prohibitive SMC Materials. “Battery modules and their housing has become a key area for improving the performance, efficiency and affordability of modern electric vehicles,” said Dr. Leif Ickert, Marketing Manager Composites and Adhesives, Evonik Operations GmbH & Managing Director, Vestaro GmbH. “Composite technologies provide strength and versatility, so offer a very promising solution for future battery system concepts. Our new glass fiber-reinforced SMC delivers the performance and economic benefits the automotive industry requires to push ahead with the next generation of sustainable e-mobility concepts.” The glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy SMC has excellent mechanical properties including flexural and impact strength, and by using epoxy resin instead of the usual polyester resin, other problems often encountered during downstream processing of glass-fiber- reinforced SMC materials have been eliminated. Additionally, it meets all specifications regarding fire resistance and is easy to process even when complex geometries are demanded. The entire concept was successfully tested for suitability for series production and safety even under extreme conditions. Additionally, consortium partner, Lorenz Kunststofftechnik has developed an established process for successfully recycling glass fiber-reinforced SMC materials – an important argument in view of the increasing sustainability requirements in the automotive industry.
