| Bosch to invest $400 million in India - Fiji Live Posted: 04 Jan 2010 03:02 PM PST The Indian arm of German engineering giant Bosch said Monday it would invest more than 400 million dollars over two years to expand in the country's fast-growing diesel engine market. "India is witnessing a strong increase in demand for diesel engines," the company, a major maker of diesel injection systems, said in a statement. "The diesel engine consumes 30 percent less fuel than the gasoline engine, while common-rail technology reduces the pollutant emissions of diesel engines, thus making it possible to meet strict emission standards." Bosch introduced common-rail fuel injection systems in India in 2006, the statement said, adding nearly a quarter of the new investment would be earmarked for research. India is Asia's third-largest car market after China and Japan, where Japanese-owned Maruti Suzuki holds a commanding lead. Indian car sales are expected to cross two million units next year. Bosch Automotive Group chairman Bernd Bohr told a press conference that sales in India grew by five percent to 68 billion rupees (1.4 billion dollars) in 2009. India, which currently accounts for about five percent of the company's global auto business, is likely to account for seven to nine percent of its total auto business by 2017, he said. "India is a very important market for us, and it has been profitable as well," Bohr added. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

(NASDAQ:NETL), a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced that it will be demonstrating live broadcast of digital television (DTV) broadcast solutions using its ultra low-power Alchemy® processors at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, Booth #35268. NetLogic Microsystems' demonstrations are based on multiple customer systems targeted at service provider and automotive deployments, and are compliant with the new ATSC-M/H standard for North America.
In addition to the customer system demonstrations, NetLogic Microsystems is also collaborating with mobile DTV pioneer LG Electronics on a reference design targeted at the ATSC mobile digital broadcast TV service. The collaborative reference design will include LG's LG2160A demodulator supporting the ATSC A/153 Mobile DTV Standard and NetLogic Microsystems' ultra low-power Alchemy processors. LG's LG2160A chip delivers best-in-class demodulation and equalization functions for the ATSC-M/H standard, and outputs Internet Protocol (IP) packet streams into NetLogic Microsystems' Alchemy processors, which performs application processing and video and audio decode functions. The new ATSC Mobile DTV standard is compatible with the 8-VSB DTV signal, and allows broadcasters in North America to utilize a variable portion of the existing 19.3 Megabit-per-second DTV channel capacity to transmit data with extremely robust characteristics to mobile and handheld devices. "We are excited to be demonstrating our industry-leading Alchemy processors on multiple ATSC-M/H platforms, as well as to announce our collaboration with LG, on the emerging market for broadcast digital TV in North America," said Mike Wodopian, vice president of marketing, Ultra Low-Power Alchemy Processors at NetLogic Microsystems.

| Virginia Manufacturing Jobs Declined 7.1% Over Past Year - Yahoo Finance Posted: 28 Dec 2009 07:18 AM PST EVANSTON, Ill., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial employment in Virginia fell 7.1% over the past twelve months according to the 2010 Virginia Manufacturers Directory®, an industrial directory published annually by Manufacturers' News, Inc. (MNI) Evanston, IL. MNI reports Virginia lost 26,531 industrial jobs and 377 manufacturers between October 2008 and October 2009. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070213/MNILOGO) Manufacturers' News reports Virginia is now home to 6,854 manufacturers employing 347,940 workers, compared to a high of 440,261 jobs recorded by MNI in 2001. The loss of 26,000 manufacturing jobs over the past twelve months marks the sharpest year-to-year decline MNI has ever reported in the sixteen years it has been tracking the state's industry. "As with the entire nation, the recession continues to hit Virginia's core sectors, while the faltering housing market has affected industries such as wood products, furniture and building products," says Tom Dubin, President of the Evanston, IL-based publishing company, which has been surveying industry since 1912. Transportation equipment manufacturing saw one of the largest drops in employment, down nearly 11%, according to MNI, due partially to layoffs at Volvo Trucks, International Automotive Components, and the closure of a JTEKT automotive plant. As a result, food products manufacturing has overtaken transportation equipment as the state's largest industrial sector, with 36,486 jobs, down 2.6% over the year. Transportation equipment now ranks second with 34,689 jobs. All other industrial sectors in Virginia lost jobs within the past year and included primary metals, down 22.5%; due partially to the closure of a Reynolds Wrap plant in Richmond. Industrial machinery and equipment fell 17.9%; lumber/wood was down 15.3%; textiles/apparel down 11.2%; furniture/fixtures down 8.7%; paper products down 8.4%; fabricated metals down 6.8%; electronics down 6.5%; stone/clay/glass down 6.2%; rubber/plastics down 5.7% and chemicals down 5.1%. Bright spots for the state include the opening of a First Fruits Beverage bottling facility in Marion, the joint investment of AREVA and shipbuilder Northrop Grumman to open a facility in Newport News, and the opening of auto components maker Westport Corp. in Roanoke. MNI's city data shows Richmond is Virginia's top city for manufacturing employment, home to 35,008 jobs, down 5.9% over the year. Second-ranked Newport News accounts for 26,183 jobs, with employment down 2.6%. Industrial employment in Norfolk dropped 2.7% over the year and is currently home to 11,790 industrial workers. Roanoke accounts for 11,694 industrial jobs, down 7.1% over the year while Lynchburg accounts for 10,900 jobs, down 5.4%.
