Science and Technology Review

India has been determined to enhance the rocket technology, which aims to launch heavy satellites into space, which joined this satellite power, but the ambitious plan was repeated frustration. India yesterday (25) intends to launch new communications satellite on the afternoon of GSAT-5P, but the GSLV-F06 launch vehicle has lifted off shortly after the explosion, is India’s No. 2 this year failed rocket launch, which is the same type of launch vehicle straight 2 launch failure.

Rockets yesterday local time 16:05, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Andhra Pradesh in the east of the launch site. 148 seconds after launch the rocket off course, and in mid-air explosion, fire in dense smoke, and finally falling Bay of Bengal. The ground command center, falling more than India’s top scientists witnessed the process, all stunned, the scene was dead.

Reports that the crash of the GSLV-F06 rocket with Russian engine, originally scheduled for launch on the 20th, but later found cracks in low temperature to promote the machine, so until yesterday’s launch. ISRO Chairman said that 47 seconds after the rocket out of control error, resulting in the flight angle increases, the pressure to increase the rocket, the final explosion. As the first stage rocket works, it is suspected the problem may be in the second level.

Held the last two months had depressed Hanwang technology investors. Hanwang Technology is a ebook reader, handwriting input and OCR input devices based products business, its share price on May 28 intraday peak rising to 175 dollars, then all the way Kuangxie, July 16 closing only remaining 96.6 yuan, the book value had fallen by 44.8%. Hanwang Technology sagging stock price and the Zhonghua one of the reasons is its legal dispute: the latter to court, sued Hanwang bookstore sales, “Four Histories” and “History of Qing Dynasty” infringement. Although the latest news shows both sides settled out of court may order the closure of awful in the symbolic significance of the case, although the price may still Hanwang technology improves and as the broader market higher, but the situation at home and abroad, 2007 years before the rise of e-book reader market is rapidly fall into disuse.

November 19, 2007, Amazon sold in the United States of its research and development of e-book reader Kindle. Before that, iRex Iliad e-book reader unit of the Sony Reader and Sony have each of July 2006 and September listed, but not popular.

Iliad and Sony Reader are three fatal flaws: high prices, lack of content and channels are not allowed. Listed at the beginning, Iliad in the price of up to 649 euros in Europe, in the United States is 699 U.S. dollars; Sony Reader price slightly kind, but also to reach 349 U.S. dollars. As for the content, Iliad support PDF, WORD, TXT, and many other text format, but manufacturers do not offer book downloads. Sony’s situation better, its online bookstore to buy the works of copyright protection has expired, you can buy Danielle’s latest novel, is available for readers to choose the books are not numerous and are too focused on popular literature. The most fatal shortcoming is channel: how to sell e-book reader unhindered to Ai Kanshu love to have fun and not just consumer electronics. In this regard, iRex, Sony were totally unsuccessful.

As the self is the world’s largest online bookseller, Amazon has tons of content and the most effective channels, so Kindle’s launch was a great success, although it is not the first cheap price: 399 dollars. This regard so as publishing content providers feel the impact of changes in distribution channels and pressure, have to start to seriously consider the content of this new carrier in the end what it means; the other hand, other electronics manufacturers to find new business opportunities, many companies rush to launch, or preparing to introduce new products, intends to seize this are smaller but fast-growing market.

The end of last year, light in the United States to try to challenge Kindle e-book reader will have ten sections, but in June this year, a crackdown, the market pioneer and veteran iRex suddenly filed for bankruptcy protection, while Plastic Logic is a rising star QUE announced postponement of its products market, the specific time so far unknown. In the end What happened then? Very simple e-book reader prices fast decline of the large, far beyond all expectations. For example, last June, the retail price of Amazon’s Kindle is 359 U.S. dollars, and now buy only 189 U.S. dollars.

The price slump in the role of a catalyst is a well-known companies and Amazon the same: the U.S. giant Barnes & Noble book sales. By the end of 2009, Barnes & Noble launched its readers Nook, 259 dollars price let the market quickly digested. Nook more advantages than the Kindle is that it is sold in the store, consumers can practice and feel this product. And June 2 this year, U.S. retailer Target started selling the Kindle until Amazon reader stores only in the network.

Just last month, Barnes & Noble to Nook’s price cut 60 U.S. dollars, as low as 199 U.S. dollars; Amazon to respond quickly, the Kindle’s price down to 189 U.S. dollars today. According to the U.S. market research firm iSuppli estimates that the cost of these two books is basically price. In other words, Barnes & Noble and Amazon currently selling these two readers are not making money, they can only count on follow-up e-book sales to generate sufficient profits.

Intense price war led to zero profits in this emerging market ahead of schedule time, in this context, the foreign market observers are not optimistic about Plastic Logic’s launch QUE: In accordance with the company’s previous plans, this low-end products reader price is 650 U.S. dollars, high-end price is 800 U.S. dollars. You know, 800 U.S. dollars can also buy a Kindle and a practical stunning Apple iPad.

iSuppli expects e-book reader will soon drop the price to 100 U.S. dollars below market capacity will be from 500 million units in 2009, quickly grew to 1,500 million in 2011. The final competition will be a few winners: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, perhaps Apple can count – if you iPad as e-book reader, then.

China’s e-book reader market is currently in its initial phase, although the Tianjin Science and Technology Branch and Hanwang readers for several years of production history, but many brands to enter the market, it is a matter this year. Since March, Shanghai Century Publishing Group, Chongqing Publishing Group, China Publishing Group Publishing Group and other readers have launched their own reader. These reader problems with the Iliad, Sony Reader in the United States three years ago, the same problems, if not overcome barriers to content and the channel is estimated within two years, most of them will disappear in the market. China e-book reader market, the winner may not be currently available products – the premise that outstanding success Dangdang Amazon or Amazon and Barnes & Noble replicate the U.S. experience.

Not long ago in Spain, Valencia F1 Grand Prix at the amazing scene took place: Mark Webber’s car speed of 306 km per hour when traveling on a serious roll-over accident. Fortunately, Weber himself intact.

Weber’s “last straw” is very popular in the current F1 racing carbon fiber base. Although iron and aluminum materials, the carbon fiber’s “worth” more, but its resistance to stress and portability are much better than iron and aluminum. Currently, many sophisticated areas can see the “nowhere”, such as aircraft wings, super cars and other expensive mountain bike.

Although carbon fiber has been “fly into common car family” in many parts on the car, but if the German BMW R & D success, then the body made from carbon fiber or will become a mainstream electric car.

Safe and durable is the superiority

Early in July this year, BMW announced its long-awaited electric car development plan launched in 2013 plug-in electric cars Megacity. The new model does not come from the modification of existing models, but BMW’s engineers Great Revival of a new attempt. This excellent performance of the “no iron” four city vehicles will be more light, its two parts: drive and battery included aluminum chassis and installed in the chassis of carbon fiber cars “skeleton.”

Carbon fiber 30% lighter than aluminum, 50% lighter than iron. Moreover, since carbon fiber has a very strong tear resistance, when it is woven into the lattice-like structure, and then into the resin, its strength is larger than the iron. However, This process is labor-consuming and inefficient, so the possibility of large-scale production of carbon fiber is not high. However, BMW is trying to change that.

As early as April this year, BMW chief financial officer, once said: “Reducing vehicle weight is very important for electric cars. BMW car in the production of electric vehicles using carbon fiber to replace steel and aluminum.”

BMW first polymer processed into fibrous, and then at a high temperature by a few carbon fiber working procedure will be obtained only 7 microns thickness of carbon fiber, 50 000 such as carbon fiber spun yarn twisted together. Spinning can be made into fabric, and then die at high temperature and high pressure using fabric to create the shape, and finally the resin into the mold so that fibers sticking together, the whole process can be completed in minutes by the robot.

In this process, the carbon fiber can be made of the car “body.” The company said that in addition to more light, the ability of the car’s anti-extrusion is also amazing. In the rear of the front impact test conducted found that aluminum chassis will be deformed by compression, will also absorb some energy, however, by the rigid carbon fiber passenger area is safe, even to the powerful impact of the side also allows inside the dummy model and battery unscathed (of course, when the air bag device starts, the battery will automatically power off). Even under severe car crash, the body had injury not worry, cut off the damaged parts of the carbon fiber and then stick on the new parts, can let the car restitution.

Carbon fiber composite materials, energy absorption capacity of 4 times higher than the metal to 5 times. Years, F1 team has been using carbon fiber composite material component of their car collision buffer, which significantly reduced the event of serious injury accidents.

In fact, back in 1992, GM introduced the ultra-light concept car on the car’s carbon fiber composite body, carbon fiber prepreg by the manual process, the overall body mass of 191 kg. Replacing steel with carbon fiber body and chassis components manufacturing, reduce the quality of 68%, thus saving gasoline consumption by 40%.

Recycling of carbon fiber cars is difficult

Steel and aluminum are easy to recycle, but carbon fiber is difficult to recycle, so, in some ways, the carbon fiber cars could “become old” after a pile of waste. At present, car manufacturers are working with space agencies, to try to resolve this issue. For now, BMW took the lead in the latest treatment developed carbon fiber “material side of foot” method. By pyrolysis, these “side foot the news” to return to the raw state. Through this method to produce carbon fiber composite material has half the hardness.

Another advantage of carbon fiber is not easy to corrosion, if you do not consider the battery life of 10 years, this carbon fiber electric car can be as long decades of life (of course, the motor still need regular maintenance of), then, how Carbon fiber electric car owners to give it up, may make car manufacturers had trouble.

A Japanese optical manufacturing company and the Danish design company to design a link this way in a way that glasses: one end is spiral mirror leg, can just right to spin into the frame holes, mirror legs open and close freely.

Ordinary glasses, mirror between the legs and glasses are connected by a small screw, and over time, the screw is easy to become loose or rusted. Not only affects the appearance of spectacles, glasses at any time there is the risk of falling.

The compact design was the 2010 Red Dot Award grand prize

July 21 at news the United States by Mylene Yao of Stanford University-based researchers have developed a measurement accuracy of the age than the more simple way to predict IVF success. The research results just released in the United States National Academy of Sciences, for the want children but can not relieve the pain fertilization couples.

According to reports, this prediction method was originally used for many traditional couples to give up hope of bringing the Gospel. According to statistics, there are 80,000,000 married couples in the world could not have children, while the U.S. has 7,200,000 infertile couples. In recent years, increasingly strong demand for in vitro fertilization, it is estimated that the United States alone, about 140,000 in 2008 infertile couples undergoing IVF treatment.

According to statistics, about 75% of IVF treatment failure. Apart from considering the couple’s age and check the corresponding demographic data, almost no guidance on the success rate. Mylene Yao and colleagues failed IVF attempts were analyzed, thus providing an estimate based on age than the more accurate and personalized IVF success rate of future estimates.

This group of researchers under the common clinical features of the patients into several groups, including the previous and from the first failed IVF treatment data. This group of researchers analyzed more than 1000 cases of the results of the first IVF treatment, and use them to predict whether the second IVF treatment will have live births. Considering the high cost of IVF and the outcome uncertain, the new forecasting method to the first IVF treatment may be transformed into a kind of prognostic test.

This group of researchers said that in general, this may increase the acceptance of IVF treatment for the first time, confidence and support of patients received a second IVF treatment or to consider other treatment decisions.

Yao and his team members to build a called “Univfy” of the company to continue this research, operation and commercialization of research results. The company has obtained a license from Stanford for a patient to read the disease. The company is now ready to fall to the United States Food and Drug Administration for permission to operate.

The movie “2012″ brings us to the end of the world’s infinite imagination, if the human face extinction on Earth, how can we do? Someone is really deep in Tibet as the construction of Noah’s Ark it? We are not aware of this, but scientists are planning to build on the moon ark carrying the end of human civilization.

Last month, scientists at the meeting in Strasbourg, France, discussed the concept of the lunar architecture database, the database will provide survivors on Earth to provide a reconstruction of human civilization, the remote access kit. “Doomsday Ark” is the most original version of the moon to build a repository of human knowledge bearer, including the DNA sequence, metallurgy shows that cultivated crops in the knowledge that the moon will be buried deep underground in a cellar, the signal transmitter would continuously send its location to Earth.

To avoid this database on the moon by the radiation and extreme temperature vacuum environment, it was buried under the rock, and has a solar panel to provide it with some energy. Scientists hope that by the year 2020 put the first batch of experimental data on the moon save, save its life span is 30 years, complete data on human civilization will be officially launched in 2035, this information will include Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish versions.

Like how? The grand plan enough, right? If you would like to participate, to the time you can put your things are kept in the moon above.

DreamBook Power D90 i7 Extreme

According to related reports that Pioneer Computers Australia launch this high-performance workstation, is designed based on the use of multimedia, games and entertainment tailored.

In the notebook field, six-core processors have already not really a difficult problem to overcome. A few months ago, Notebookcheck has reported the company’s D900F Panther Eurocom notebook, which is a equipped with a Intel Core i7-980X 6-core processors, 12 threads of strong notebook, but also in appearance with the pioneering computer D90 i7 are really a few similar points.

DreamBook D90 series is equipped with four core and six two categories of nuclear and other models, including Core i7-980X version of the model frequency up to 3.33GHz (Core frequency in the acceleration may be increased under the action of 3.6GHz), 12MB cache and maximum power up to 130W. In the current processor market, this Core i7-980X is the fastest processor, the CPU in our release list also topped location. In addition, this processor also supports Hyper-Threading Technology, operating under harsh conditions in the application and run-time multi-task, given the good stability for the system hardware protection.

This mobile workstation display selection, choose a piece of 17.1 in. LCD backlight LCD display, resolution up to 1920 × 1200, high-definition players doing well. In addition, D90 i7 Extreme graphics card configuration, will be different depending on configuration were equipped with NVIDIA GeFore GTX 285M or GeForce GTX 480M (Shader 5.0) graphics card, memory was up to 1GB (DDR3) and 2GB (DDR5), the former support Directx10 and Shader4.0, whereas the latter can support Directx11.

Pioneer Computers that this strong DreamBook memory can be upgraded to 6GB (DDR3). At the same time, users can top with 3 HDD, RAID 0,1,5 deployment of user-demand for three kinds of options array.

In addition to the above mentioned hardware specifications, which notebook comes with Mac Interface, 4 speakers, integrated sound card, 5.1 channel audio output interface, and a DVD burner (or optional Blu-ray burner).

802.11 a / g / n; Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (with a USB interface) adapter; 4 USB 2.0; 1 个 eSATA, HDMI and DVI-I output interface; a 7 in 1 card reader; RJ-11 , RJ-45 cable interface,

DreamBook D90 product page under the display, this laptop will be preloaded windows7 Home Premium Edition operating system. However, as machine hardware configuration is too strong, even in the 12 core smart lithium assistance, also with no hope of long life (life time, remaining at 2 hours or so). In addition, Pioneer Computers also said that this high-performance workstations, weighing only 5.4 kg (about 11.9 pounds).

Currently, DreamBook Power D90 i7 Extreme has to be optional, the default type (default basic configuration) price of 2999 yuan Australian dollars (or about 2519.46 U.S. dollars).

Dormant volcano in Hawaii the top of the PS1 telescope has started running around the clock, the telescope has the world’s largest digital camera, scanning the sky to capture the stars in space rocks and bizarre phenomena in the process of shooting it every day the number of 100 Zhang Gaoqing photo. PS1 will greatly increase the threat to Earth scientists discovered the asteroid chance. 

Early warning of asteroid impact

PS1 telescope is the Pan-STARRS project (panoramic observation telescope and rapid response systems) are planning one of several telescopes, is responsible for mapping the size of the Earth around 300 m to 1 km of the asteroid. 300 meters of the asteroid impact on Earth if the residential area, will result in significant regional damage, and 1 km asteroid could cause global disaster.

Harvard – Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Yiduobojie (Edo Berger) telescope data from a study he said: “PS1 telescope provides us with the best we can get early warning.” The Center is to provide financial support for the PS1 a member of the alliance.

Larger than the Hubble Space telescope “digital eyes”

Although PS1 began service in late 2008, but until last month began running around the clock. Now, every 30 seconds, PS1 will be the size of the moon on the sky of 36 take a range of 1,400 megapixel photos – a range of Hubble main camera 3600 times. Each photo can be printed in a half basketball court sufficient to cover the 300-dpi images.

Every night, PS1 telescope to collect data (near 5T bytes) enough to fill 1000 DVD, and mapping every month 1 / 6 the sky, its resolution is 10 times previous telescope.

Found in meteorites and space for a lot of common space phenomena (such as solar system objects and the drastic changes in the distant universe), these features are important. Samuel Berger, said in an email: “For example, we found a month astronomical explosion phenomena (such as supernova) than the entire astronomical community also found in more than one year.”

But what is most exciting is that Berger, PS1 remote observations from space could make it find a new phenomenon. He said: “I think in the coming months and years, we will find a new star explosion phenomena, which will help us understand the life cycle of stars in the last movement, as well as produce black holes and neutron stars. This mapping will be great progress in space, whether time or space is true. ”

He said: “We are mapping the solar system in unprecedented detail, and an unprecedented sensitivity of the formation of the Milky Way.”

A war aimed at the living room has started.

5 years ago, when Intel, Microsoft, Sony, Philips and Cisco Systems are “TV will become the next generation of digital home center” after the dream vanished, that the big screen in the living room is always a tool and network aloof. Despite TiVo, Robu and Boxee other “box” makers tried to limited Internet access increasingly large and high-definition television screen, but it can only be used to watch the video rental fee rather poor programming and Internet content; and when Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation3 and Nintendo’s Wii and the TV connected when frequent, high-definition television has become a download video and multiplayer online games workstation?? It can be any digital device client, but never really ” Internet TV. ”

Now the time has finally begun. May 21, Google combined Intel, Sony, and Logitech released the first “Google TV” (Google TV). Director of Google TV text Sentedulao (Vincent Dureau) on the podium with the remote in the search box enter “House” (House doctors), 45-inch Sony LCD screen immediately shows the second-largest video site Hulu The “House” program link, click on after entering the video playback, but switching back is playing DISH satellite TV programs as easy as changing channels.

“We need the entire Internet content into television.” Google senior product manager Harish Chandra (Rishi Chandra) that “the current level of Internet interaction with television is not enough.” And Google is redefining the idea of television : it is still a TV, but not connected to the Internet all the time, so that any person who has it can create different needs. Google TV while creating a new platform for Android operating system as standard television, the Internet launch command of all the signals, the video transmission, channel switching, as well as search, games and music run – TV into intelligent new tools.

Yes, you might say, “we do not need this guy!” But do not forget that 4.0 billion people worldwide television audience exceeded. Even in the United States such information and entertainment technology highly developed countries, the public also have an average of 5 hours each day sitting in front of the TV – these people are often crowded around the 17-inch computer screen, using YouTube or Hulu yesterday because of baseball and enjoy miss “American Idol” video, even had to hold 14-inch laptop to bed to watch on two legs. But if all this can be achieved on television, the real “living room entertainment” of the times to be considered.

May wish to re-imagine the carry Intel Atom (Atom) CE4100 processor, support for Wi-Fi, high-definition video with HDMI interface and automatic control infrared receiver and set-top box to receive satellite signals Logitech, and finally Sony produced by the “Google TV “What will this: you are watching Fox broadcast of the Lakers in the NBA finals against Celtic, suddenly the whole league would like to review the process and breathtaking moments, then enter the information with the remote, all league team and the outcome data will show on the screen of Google Chrome browser page where; mouse down to one, click on the video is a game. You are in the Fox broadcast of this historic event with the freedom to switch the scenario, but then you already Xuemaibizhang, can not wait to switch to the operating platform, landing with this TV you just download the game “NBA Live2010″, only aware of the interest was in full swing: broadcast actually over! Fortunately, I’ll be able to see this TV playback of the video!

This is the entertainment you have ever imagined it? Google TV has virtually millions of people to create a new channel – In addition to YouTube and Hulu on the free video content, Google still and video content providers Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand signed an agreement, the user can view their videos directly to buy program.

Of course, the core of all this, is still controlled by smart phones more pockets and continue to spread to the living room of the Android operating system, and settle down in the search engine Google. With the TV networks and channels to increase, people spend a lot of time watching TV channel selection, the introduction of Internet content will make this massive problem is more serious. However, powerful search through Google TV function, it can even determine the content the user is to search the Internet or TV programs, and gives the most reasonable results.

Let us create their own TV now!

Must be recognized that, Google TV Google is the layout in the future, the only time on the field ahead of Apple – although Apple issued in 2007 to the occupation on the living room entertainment, Apple TV, but it needs to be computer, download video, audio, file transfers to Apple TV in time of need and through television screens. In the context of wireless coverage, you can use a computer to access stored in the Apple TV in the digital program, or Apple iTunes to download movies and music – then Apple has not yet online program shop (App Store), but Apple TV still is Internet rather isolated products.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs and COO by Cook as “hobby” for Apple TV sales from 2008 began to decline in sales growth in 2009 less than 10%. In contrast, Google TV does not need to download video content from the computer, but also while watching television channels to achieve Internet browsing, searching, and even online video games, action – but most importantly, as you know, smart The Android platform for mobile phones so, Google TV also has an open Android operating platform – you can develop applications for smart phones like the software and procedures as for the Google TV development process, and users can also download any of Google TV that they need.

This means that it was a “you” TV – While Apple’s iPhone has been considered as a third party application developers to create the Denver Nuggets to paradise, but before the appearance of the iPhone, developers had for Windows Mobile such as Nokia and the Smartphone software applications development. In contrast, third-party games in development for television, music and software on, Google created a precedent.

Its appeal is not inferior to Apple’s App Store, or online program to become Google’s new Android Market store opportunities – than 3-4 inches of the smart phone screen, imagine 40 to 50-inch big screen showing the developer creativity and wisdom of the freedom it! This fall, when the Google TV officially sold through Best Buy when, Google TV will be preloaded with a number of Android applications, and then to the developers develop applications specifically for Google TV tool. Android Market part of the present application can also be used directly in television.

Such as Android smartphone operating system, either HTC or Motorola or Samsung, are likely to become the Google TV smart handle. It may be equipped with a gravity sensor or a voice input program into your living room game key configuration – have launched the virtual community game Lively by Google gaming market, has long coveted, and now with Google TV platform, Google has tested the water game industry’s success rate will increase dramatically.

It will also change the pattern of television advertising. 4.0 billion television viewers worldwide is still difficult to underestimate the power consumption. IDC released market research report: 2009 U.S. TV ad spending as much as 83 billion U.S. dollars, 31.5 billion U.S. dollars in Internet advertising and TV advertising spending is not yet half.

Internet advertising revenue in becoming a leading player definitely after Google tried to reshape the rules of television advertising more attractive way to divide up that piece of cake. As we all know Google’s long-item content and advertising is to make accurate matches, but it can also be transplanted to the TV platform. To advertisers, they can run on platforms in the Google TV ads more interactive: When a car’s video programming under the side of the Xian Shi Chevrolet video ads, users can click the link directly into the site or click the Order Telephone Order Automatic dialing, achieving Google keyword advertising (Adwords) the same operation.

But it also opens the advertising method of measurements of change – the television and traditional data investigation firms, Google do the existing technology Ke Yi Xiang monitoring Internet advertising as a television monitor on the Google TV ads, including ads appear Channel number of viewers increases Shenzhi audience composition statistics. It also becomes more expensive television advertising. U.S. market research firm Diffusion Group said that through the Google TV platform, users browse 1,000 per online advertising, advertisers pay only about USD 30.

Next Generation Alliance

In order to form the core Android platform, “smart TV” map, Intel, Sony, Logitech, Adobe, DISH Network and Best Buy and other partners formed a clear industrial logic of the Alliance – which includes the chip manufacturers, terminal manufacturers business, technology access, software service providers, content providers and retail channels at different levels.

It is almost Google Android “open phone coalition” (OHA) in the field of intelligent television the perfect copy, but the essential difference is that – when Google “smart TV” coalition appeared, people have seen the products are reaching maturity; the year ” Open Mobile Alliance, “in the formation of nearly a year later, the first true mobile phone-HTC’s G1 Android slow to come out before, let alone a large number of coalition members contribute nothing to date in the field of Android.

Google checks and balances on the entire ecosystem of skills were mature. It is noteworthy that, Google TV almost choked up every aspect of the vital partnership: For Intel, PC market’s decline and fall is a historical trend, while the Intel microprocessor to enter the smart phone market, significantly slow the process in the industry change. The X86 architecture “Atom” chip compatible with small screen, whether the final, low-power smart phone demand, still faces a cruel test. However, intelligent television, the computing power of the advantages and disadvantages of power, just get the greatest degree of expression and to avoid, making this the world’s largest semiconductor companies seeking new opportunities to bet, three years ago, it was forced to suspend the “Vive ( Viiv) digital home “is also expected to revive.

The Google TV on Adobe Flash technology, support is especially important, though Flash support to be able to access more rich content Google TV, and enhance the user experience, but Adobe obviously need a credit from Google “endorsement” – it attempts to clamp down on mobile platforms that Apple Flash: Flash is not outdated, but also cool.

The most urgent need for Google TV’s supposed to be the Sony – it’s a shock the products need to demonstrate technical superiority and market position. On the other hand, with the focus of Sony TV brand access to the contents of the transfer, Google TV just is the best reflection of this trend. Sony “platform integration” strategy can also Google TV advantage of open platforms and operating systems to be demonstrated. On the other hand, Sony is pushing 3D TV, which is Google TV this fall, time to market has been very consistent – if by that time people will see the Android open platform using Sony 3D TV, the world is wonderful.

Another hardware manufacturer Logitech is bringing Google TV more imagination. It will provide Google TV production set-top box, and input devices. Compared to now TV’s remote control, Logitech for Google TV production dedicated keyboard and mouse, user-friendly browsing. Logitech future may even develop a Google TV camera, will also move to the living room chat.

Must be pointed out, Google TV eco-system is still an “open union” – which means more chip manufacturers, hardware access providers and terminal manufacturers to get involved. Samsung and LG have switched plans in the development of Android platform smart TV, but the domestic television maker TCL terminal are also Internet-based television development of Android platform – even if faced with an uncertain regulatory factors, they still believe, Google TV a variety of Internet applications, across different terminals and different manufacturers.

According to the American physicist organizational network reported that the University of California, San Diego, the researchers developed a tiny cell phone can be used in chemical sensors, using cell phones or other wireless communications devices, this is known as “Silicon nose” in sensors can detect the first time in the air of harmful gases, and automatically send off the type and scope of information dissemination.

The principle is with the pore in the silicon chip integrated hundreds of independent micro-sensors, these sensors are identifiable as a specific toxic gas molecules and respond. University of California San Diego professor of biology and chemistry explained that the process is similar to the nose of the odor perception: researchers set up a group of sensors can “feel” multiple chemical characteristics of the “sensory cells,” Once there a specific chemical substance, the sensor is activated, the “brain” will be able to determine the specific types of chemicals.

Shearer said that now everyone has a cell phone, if the technology can be used in most phones which, in the event of toxic gas leaks or chemical pollution incident, people will be able to use sensors embedded in the phone the first time that the accident location and extent of damage and other information.

The researchers said the chip has now distinguished methyl salicylate and toluene, the future of the sensor will identify the hundreds of hazardous compounds. Next, they will first consider the addition of sensors to detect carbon monoxide and methane. In the smoke filled scene of the fire, carbon monoxide gas will cause great harm to the safety of firefighters, and installed anti-virus mask on the sensor can determine when the firemen were able to safely take off the mask, with spontaneous breathing. Similar sensors can also be applied to coal which, when gas and other explosive gases accumulate to a certain concentration, the sensor would be timely to remind miners were evacuated to safe areas.

The cooperation with the San Diego company, Shearer research team has successfully produced a prototype of this sensor, and associated with the mobile phone to conduct a preliminary test.
