Life in the future according to Corning

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Peter

Corning has left a new video of how we think our lives will be technology in the future.
The other day we comment on Corning and this here we leave a video that was about the near future in relation to screens.

We know that the touch screen devices are now part of our daily lives, in our smart phones and tablets, but what is going to be as touch screen technology in 10 or 15 years, will be part of our day to day and will be even in our mirror. The video also shows how we will see in our cars, such as doctors stop using a conventional tab for a tab and would touch and radiographs in the future. From my point of view is somewhat exaggerated but it is still nice to think we could live this way. Continue reading →

You can carry your mobile phones with a stove

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Peter

Go to a place far from civilization is no longer a problem, because we take our mobile and stay connected through a simple stove that will be responsible for terminal recharge our energy, a clean and renewable energy.

BioLite CampStove is a small stove that can load our terminals through to its USB port that has built-in, only need to throw wood and plant fire, while producing electricity also produces heat. Continue reading →

Nikola Tesla, the man who created the twentieth century

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Peter

Today we speak about an absolute genius, fell into oblivion for many decades, but unlike other idolized characters has left an indelible mark and concrete; Nikola Tesla recorded a series of basic patents, are central to the technologies we use every day.

For sure it was an eccentric character, twice refused the Nobel Prize in physics, claimed to receive signals from Mars and to build a death ray, was a detractor of the theory of relativity by Albert Einstein and had an unusual obsession with pigeons wounded and three and its multiples but certainly without his visions our life would be very different and many of the things that belong to our daily lives would not exist.

They capture light moving trillion frames per second

Researchers at the University of Zaragoza (UZ) have managed to capture light moving a billion frames per second using new techniques of computational photography, has informed the institution.

The project has been developed by scientists at the Institute of Engineering Research (I3A) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Computational photography technique allows see the process of formation of an image in a mirror, the dispersion of light in a liquid or the propagating waves of a front of light traveling by a scene.

This technology, according to the UZ, can be applied in many fields such as medicine, engineering, education and help, for example, to determine the effect of radiation on human tissue or combination of materials and display real phenomena ever observed. Continue reading →

Liquipel allows smartphones plunge

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Peter

Liquipel the company has created one of the most revolutionary inventions for smartphones, and above all, the most peaceful leave users in crash water with your mobile device. Liquipel is a chemical protective isolates smartphones of any fluid in contact with it.

The company has made Liquipel one of the most common accidents with any technological device-to spill any liquid on it-is out of the concerns of users. The company has created a chemical protector of the same name as the company, which isolates the 100 by 100 smartphone from contact with any liquid. Thus, the terminal will work even fall into a pool. Continue reading →

The Fourier transform for images

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Peter

Thanks to the researchers MIT the field of video and images could soon receive a major technological innovation: the new discovery would speed up the compression of images by applying an algorithm based on Fourier transform. The technique has been developed by researchers Dina Kataba and Piotr Indyki with students Eric Price and Haitham Hassanieh.

The Fourier transform is one of the most important functions of mathematics, and has found great application in computer science: for example, are used to represent the fluctuations of voltage in the wire that connects an MP3 player to a speaker, not to mention the wide use in electronic music and study of audio frequencies. But the two researchers have found a way to apply this function to the images. The technique consists of dividing the signs and trying frequencies scattered but present in each section of the signal: for there is no need to sample the whole image, but only part This technique allows to speed up the processing time up to ten times.

Using lasers to encode information in our hard drives

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Peter

It may be possible to improve the storage of information in our computers through an ingenious device for transferring light energy in a mechanical system. A team of researchers at Yale University, USA, has developed a device to “write” and “read” the information with the laser light. The results of this work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, could reduce the energy consumption of hard drives while making them very reliable.

When we talk about memory and information storage hard drives, the parameters determining the value of new technology are mainly: the stability of stored information, and energy storage density. Many studies seek to develop new devices competitive on these three parameters. The devices developed characters generally have in common. They have the two most stable configurations for encoding information through “0″ or “1″ (binary system). The stability depends of the energy needed to switch the device from one position to another. To be stable, this energy so-called “barrier” should be well above the energy of “noise” so that “noise” can not, by itself, change the information. The device must also have a power source allowing it to switch from one position to another with an error rate of almost zero. Continue reading →

Biomaterials capable of generating electricity using paper as an energy source

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Peter

In the Eco Products Fair 2011 in Tokyo, Sony engineers have demonstrated their latest innovation in biomaterials, a type of battery that can generate electricity from the paper. Engineers have shown how, using paper as an element to draw power could generate enough energy to power a small fan.

Every year in Europe devoted about 660 million euros to buy Christmas cards, which helps to generate some 58 million tons of garbage in paper form. This innovation has the potential to release a new world of possibilities for how that role could be reused to generate positive benefits. Something as simple as using the Christmas cards we received this past Christmas feedstock can generate enough energy to power a small fan. Of course, this technology is still in an early development phase, but imagines the possibilities it could offer an option becomes really interesting. Continue reading →
