Nokia developed a system based in nanoparticles which is capable of repelling water in our devices, named Hydrophobic Nanocoating. It’s a coating of nanoparticles for mobile phones capable of retaining air in its structure repelling water actively.
Around March, 2012 we will see the new boards for the new Intel standard, the Ivy Bridge platform, successor of the Sandy Bridge. They will use the same 1155 socket of their predecessors.
Lytro is the camera that allows you to adjust the focus after the fact. This camera is different from the design that resembles those old black boxes to take basic shots. In fact it “is” a plenoptic camera that will record the information of the light not only of the point we are focusing, but of every point of the image. Thus, later in the edition, just by clicking on the area we want to highlight, the focus and depth of field vary in real time, until leaving it as we want it. The Lytro camera stills places next to the sensor micro-lenses that gather information from the light.
Samsung has announced that their engineers succeeded in the creation of “crystalline Gallium Nitride on amorphous glass substrates”, allowing to build large products from regular glass panes, such as the one used for windows.
Apple has confirmed that Steve Jobs died today at the age of 56 with the following statement:
ScanDisk and Eye-Fi join forces to improve the distribution of cards with Wi-Fi and as a result it was born the: SD Eye-Fi, a new storage card that includes Wi-Fi connectivity for our cameras. We can use it to transfer photos or videos to a computer, phone or tablet within the reach of the WiFi net, without the need of wires.
The new Intel platform, Sandy Bridge E, brings as a novelty the inclusion of the Quad Channel technology. This technology allows us to optimize the use of the different RAM modules installed in the equipment reducing latency times by sending the information to the RAM to several modules, not all to the same one. Thus, it is advisable to use as RAM modules as memory channels are allowed by our mainboard. The Sandy Bridge E will have a minimum of 4 sockets and a maximum of 8 sockets. If we install RAM modules of 8 GB to each of these modules we obtain 64 GB RAM DDR3 in one computer.
Intel has developed a “Near Threshold Voltage Processor”. This chip, code-named “Claremont”, works with ultra low voltage circuits, close to threshold, or turn-on voltage, of the transistors. This chip runs fast when needed, or consume just milliwatts of power when there when the workload is light enough. This means that it can work with green energies, like the solar power. Thus, Intel is unveiling one of its most interesting developments with an eye to the future: the solar-powered microprocessor.
The announcement was made by Al Yanes, President of the PCI SIG during a meeting with the Semi Accurate publication.
“The user is the first, you have to be clear and respect the data of the users.” Those are the three principles for the use of the first API of Google +.
Hybrid Memory Cube is being developed by Intel and Micron and there are already some functional prototypes which sustain transfer rates of 1 terabit per second (about 128 GB/s) and minimize the energy impact up to seven times, claiming to be 10 times faster than DDR3 memories.
4 new displays were introduced from the multinational HP with the ZR series. Aimed at the professional sector, they will come in 27 inches (ZR2749W), 24 inches (ZR2440w), 21.5 inches (ZR2240w) and 20 inches (ZR2040w), all of them with 1080p resolution and an IPS panel for an accurate color reproduction at any viewing angle.
