sony shows off internal wireless circuits
February 13, 2010 by Tal Siach · Leave a Comment
Sony recently showed off a prototype of a high-speed wireless technology which ships signals around between internal electronic components. Sony says they developed the wireless technology to overcome current costs and manufacturing complexities due to the sheer number of wires and circuit layers required to handle today’s complex circuits. The prototype circuit sends signals using radio waves in the 60GHz millimeter waveband (I think I saw them play at a local nightclub last night), and can transmit data at up to 11Gpbs over a distance of up to 14mm

Talk about overkill. This new technology can track down individual mosquitoes and take them out using a laser beam.

This awesome looking robot isn’t made in Japan, nope! It’s made in the good old US of A by GM for NASA (fun with acronyms!) Of course it makes perfect sense to send robots into space. And would you believe it? It’s called the Robonaut

I’ve always thought that robots were meant to aid humans by helping them do some of their work. Now, it seems like the Japanese have come up with a robot that you can wear. The Wearable Robot was developed by the Tsumaki Telerobotics Laboratory at Yamagata University

hydrofill: generate and store hydrogen to power none of your gadgets!
February 8, 2010 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies’ hydrogen station the HydroFILL is a small and portable hydrogen generator, and the battery-shaped HydroSTIK cartridges are even smaller, but right now there’s no sense in buying it unless you have gadgets that can harness the hydrogen. You can buy a small number of hydrogen-powered toys from Horizon, and they also have MiniPAK , a portable charger, but outside of that handful of gadgets, the majority of us will find no point in buying a HydroFILL in the immediate future.

These futuristic illuminated police stiletto heels are kind of look like a strange fusion of vehicles and shoes. I don’t really know why these are necessary, but hey, if they make police officers more visible they might be relevant at some point. This concept design for stilettos for police women were designed by artist Tim Cooper and are covered with intricate law-enforcement details, including tiny headlights, turn signals and strobe lights.
