World's First Eye-Controlled Laptop Developed by Lenovo and Tobii

    

     A portable computing system designed specifically to cater to the needs of people with various motion-related impairments is something that could really come in handy for the aforementioned category, and it seems that Lenovo and Tobii have decided to make this dream come true. 

     So, at CeBIT 2011, in Hannover, Germany, the two companies jointly showcased a fully-functional prototype of a portable computing system equipped with Tobii's special eye-tracking technology, that enables users to control various applications using nothing but the movement of their eyes.

     The level of integration between their respective technologies is quite impressive, users being able to zoom-in on center on the area they're looking at, or even swiftly change between the open windows or browse one's emails and documents.

     Moreover, based on one's specific eye movement, the notebook will apparently be able to adjust some of its overall functionality as well, such as the display's brightness level, just to give an example, thus leading to a higher level of overall power efficiency during normal use.

     According to the two companies, for starters, Lenovo and Tobii have co-developed 20 test/demo units of this fully-functional prototype, that they'll use for demo/showcase purposes.

     Of course, no details regarding the possible pricing of the eye-controlled notebook from Lenovo have been provided thus far, but, given the fact that it incorporates the eye-tracking tech from Tobii, it will most likely be a bit more expensive than regular portable systems.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.

  Dynamically increasing performance

  Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0).
  The maximum frequency of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 state depends on the workload and operating environment.
  Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 on a given workload:
• Number of active cores
• Estimated current consumption
• Estimated power consumption
• Processor temperature

When the processor is operating below these limits and the user's workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase until the upper limit of frequency is reached. Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 has multiple algorithms operating in parallel to manage current, power, and temperature to maximize performance and energy efficiency. Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor to operate at a power level that is higher than its rated upper power limit (TDP) for short durations to maximize performance.

Text Translation at Mobile

Google will soon answer many travelers’ prayers who are literally lost in translation.

The search engine giant today reportedly offered a demonstration on new software it plans to introduce that translates text captured on a phone’s camera, according to industry sources. The demo was Google CEO Eric Schmidt's (News - Alert) keynote speech at Mobile World Congress, a cell phone trade show that is running through Feb. 18 in Barcelona.

During the demo, an engineer took a picture of a German dinner menu with a phone running Google (News - Alert) Inc.'s Android software. An application on the phone sent the shot to Google's servers, which sent a translation back to the phone. The translation: "Fruhlingssalat mit Wildkrautern" as "Spring salad with wild herbs."

While software that translates text from pictures currently exists for some phones, it handles the processing on the phone, the Associated Press (News - Alert) said. By sending the image to Google servers for processing, Google can offer more computing power for faster accurate results.

There was no word on when the software would be available.

Finding a Parking Space Could Soon Get EasierFinding a Parking Space Could Soon Get Easier

he Rutgers researchers say that making detailed parking data widely available via Web-based maps or navigation systems could alleviate traffic congestion by allowing travelers to decide whether to park in a central garage, hunt for street parking, or choose another mode of transportation in advance. If drivers choose street parking, it could help by suggesting parking spaces to users through a navigation device or cell phone.

The team, led by assistant professors Marco Gruteser and Wade Trappe, mounted ultrasonic distance sensors on the passenger-side doors of three cars. Using data collected over two months as the drivers commuted through Highland Park, NJ, the researchers developed an algorithm that translated the ultrasound distance readings into a count of available parking spaces that was 95 percent accurate. By combining this with GPS data, they also generated maps of which spaces were occupied and which were open that were over 90 percent accurate. 

Traffic congestion is a huge problem nationwide, particularly in downtown areas. A study by Transportation Alternatives, a New York City transportation advocacy group, found that up to 45 percent of the traffic in Manhattan is generated by cars circling the block looking for parking. In 2006, Donald Shoup, a professor in the department of urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles, calculated that, over the course of a year, vehicles looking for parking in one small business district of Los Angeles burned 47,000 gallons of gasoline and produced 730 tons of carbon dioxide. The problem is so serious that some cities, such as San Francisco, have invested millions of dollars in "smart parking infrastructure"--systems that detect the presence of vehicles in parking spots using fixed sensors installed into the asphalt or in parking meters.

But such systems work only for metered or slotted parking spaces. They also have large installation and operating costs. The SFpark project in San Francisco covers 6,000 spaces--only about 25 percent of available street parking spots. 

Power your phone with your clothes with Nanofibres...

Recharging your mobile phone, iPod or gadget could soon become as simple as plugging it into your jacket, t-shirt, jeans or shorts... The project to create "energy-scavenging nanofibres" has reached a new level, and such technology looks like becoming a reality.

Hot on the heels of the sustainable energy of the Corky mouse, and the self charging devices that we've talking about recently is the news that the research regarding micro-fibres that contain energy scavening nodes - which allow energy to be transferred is soon to become a reality... read on...

An team of researchers and scientists - originally headed by California University, has created what they call "energy-scavenging nanofibres". A material that could be woven into clothing such as t-shirts and jackets. The idea behind this is that these nanofibres will be able to convert energy from "mechanical stresses" into electricity, and could one day be used to create clothing that can power electronic devices such as mobile phones and other smaller devices.

The nano-sized generators will have “piezoelectric” properties - this basically means that they can create energey by movement (a la Corky mouse).

Mr Liwei Lin - team leader in this project said "This technology could eventually lead to wearable smart clothes that can power hand-held electronics through ordinary body movements". And of course, it does make sense in terms of physics. The more rapid the movement, the more energy that can be created, so running, dancing and other forms of exercise may be able to fully charge a device.

The work is still in research mode, but I'd expect a prototype to be released sometime this year, so stay tuned...

                                                       

It's beautiful, sleek and absolutely stunning. The new VAIO X Series notebook (VPCX117LG) by Sony weighing 760 gms is probably the lightest and thinnest notebook available on the shelf. It houses an 11.1-inch stylish yet scratch-resistant widescreen display, which is LED backlit and offers multitouch trackpad for better functionality. Instead of a typical spinning hard disk drive, the device features a 128 GB solid state drive  upgradeable to 250GB through the SonyStyle Store that provides faster boot-up and speedier access to your applications.
The notebook currently has an Intel Atom Z550 2GHz processor, which does a fairly good job but comes just with 3G HSPA mobile broadband capabilities.
However, the notebook has something called Everwair WWAN, which enables you to log onto the Internet even when there's no Wi-Fi available. While there are two USB 2.0 ports plus a headphone jack and an AC adapter point on one side of the notebook, the other side features an Ethernet port and a VGA port so you can also connect an external monitor. The product has a memory card, stick slot, Motioneye camera and microphone and a battery life that is excellent.
