HAVANA Jamal Crawford Jersey , Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- A delegation from the U.S. city of Tampa is in Cuba to search for new business opportunities despite the recent decline of bilateral relations.
The delegation held a business meeting with several Cuban institutions on Monday. Cuban participants included representatives of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment and the biotechnology industry.
"We want to increase cooperation in different areas because we are a city very close to Cuba and with a history with this country Nemanja Bjelica Jersey ," said Ivonne Yolie Capi, the president of the City Council of Tampa, at the forum.
This is the first delegation which visits Cuba after the U.S. government decided to withdraw more than half of its diplomatic staff on the island after alleging Havana failed to protect them from "mysterious acoustic attacks."
Washington also responded to these incidents by expelling 15 Cuban diplomats in the United States, which Havana called "unacceptable."
At the business meeting Monday Gorgui Dieng Jersey , Maria de la Luz B'Hamel, the North American director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Cuba, said Cuba is willing to cooperate with different American cities despite the worsening of bilateral links.
"We remain open to meetings of this type to be able to identify new possibilities to advance in our relations despite all the obstacles," she said.
B'Hamel said the main obstacle to increasing ties lies in "the existence Tyus Jones Jersey , permanence and intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade" maintained by the United States against Cuba.
As part of its visit, the delegation plans to visit the Special Development Zone of Mariel, about 50 km west of Havana Kevin Garnett Jersey , the main foreign investment project in the island aimed at boosting the economy and generating exports.
The U.S. delegation will end its visit on Tuesday.
The next evolution of eBike propulsion systems will come to Eurobike this year when Strategic Technology Group and Falco e-Motors release Hx and Dx, two revolutionary brushless permanent magnet motor technologies. Falco’s advanced systems are powerful, ultra-fast, feather-light and embody simplicity for any bike enthusiast. Falco’s eBike systems have features such as precise power and torque control; on-board data storage; PC diagnostic interface; detachable Jeff Teague Timberwolves Jersey , sleek, pocket-sized command console; battery regeneration; and wireless communication.
Already hailed as "the future of electric bike propulsion," Hx and Dx motor technologies offer high torque and power density. Falco’s propulsion systems are fully customizable, enabling eBike manufacturers to incorporate them into bicycles easily and quickly.
"We are very excited about Hx and Dx motor technologies Karl-Anthony Towns Timberwolves Jersey ," says Rakesh Dhawan, Strategic Technology Group. "EBike propulsion systems not only need to be powerful, light weight and highly efficient but also easier to use and ultra-flexible for eBike manufacturers. The basic character of a bicycle needs to be preserved. EBike propulsion systems should be essentially “invisible” and produce no pollutants whatsoever. We believe they should also be totally silent. That is exactly what we have delivered."
Falco’s eBike systems’ unique features include:
•Highly Compact design – Both Hx and Dx motors have embedded controllers and torque sensors that eliminate the need for outside components.
•Easy Installation – Falco propulsion systems can convert any bicycle into an eBike providing a hassle free installation.
•Light WeightHigh PowerHigh TorqueHigh Efficiency Operation – Falco’s patent pending technology is able to deliver light weight, high power Jimmy Butler Timberwolves Jersey , high torque and high efficiency propulsion systems and significantly superior performance over existing 3-phase motors.
•Direct and Precise Torque Control – The controller has 15 embedded sensors to measure the motor’s current, power, voltage, temperature Andrew Wiggins Timberwolves Jersey , magnetic field and torque. Falco’s controller provides precision torque control of the motor to allow for an extremely smooth and exhilarating ride.
•Zero Resistance Pedaling – Falco’s team worked tirelessly to ensure that the eBike remains super easy to pedal when it is off. They achieved this by minimizing the force of the magnets inside the motor to near zero when the bike is switched off.
•Customizable and Removable Disc Brake and Free Wheel Adaptors – Falco’s disc brake and free wheel adaptors are removable and customizable allowing manufacturers to use different types of disc brakes and free wheelscassettes to enhance their eBike product line.
•Wireless Command Console with ANT+ capability – Falco is the first eBike system with wireless ANT+ protocol in its command console. ANT+ protocol eliminates wires and provides the ability to interface with a number of other devices such as GPS, heart rate monitors, power meters etc.
