Researchers Create Flexible Memory Device | Gadget Lab After flexible displays, the memory chip is the latest electronic component to get twisted and bent. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a flexible memory device that they say is inexpensive and can be easily manufactured. “We have fabricated a lightweight memory device,” says Nadine Gergel-Hackett, one of the researchers on the project, “that uses transparencies seen in overhead projectors as the material for its flexible sheet.” Flexible components are a promising new area for electronics makers who envision using them for bendable, flexible, rollable, or merely curved devices that contain electronic circuits. Though some flexible components have already been created, it’s been a challenge to create a pliable memory chip that is inexpensive to produce, says Gergel-Hackett. Gergel-Hackett and her colleagues took polymer sheets and deposited a thin film of titanium oxide on their surfaces. Photo: Flexible memory prototype
Google Glass Advances with Superimposed Controls & More Google's Patent Background Wearable systems can integrate various elements, such as miniaturized computers, input devices, sensors, detectors, image displays, wireless communication devices as well as image and audio processors, into a device that can be worn by a user. Such devices provide a mobile and lightweight solution to communicating, computing and interacting with one's environment. With the advance of technologies associated with wearable systems and miniaturized optical elements, it has become possible to consider wearable compact optical displays that augment the wearer's experience of the real world. By placing an image display element close to the wearer's eye(s), an artificial image can be made to overlay the wearer's view of the real world. Such image display elements are incorporated into systems also referred to as "near-eye displays", "head-mounted displays" (HMDs) or "heads-up displays" (HUDs). In a first aspect, a method is provided.
Willkommen bei Schuler. Mit uns sichern Sie Ihren Wettbewerbsvorteil. Flexible electronics An Olympus Stylus camera without the case, showing the flex circuit assembly. Tightly assembled electronic packages, where electrical connections are required in 3 axes, such as cameras (static application).Electrical connections where the assembly is required to flex during its normal use, such as folding cell phones (dynamic application).Electrical connections between sub-assemblies to replace wire harnesses, which are heavier and bulkier, such as in cars, rockets and satellites.Electrical connections where board thickness or space constraints are driving factors. Applications[edit] Flex circuits are often used as connectors in various applications where flexibility, space savings, or production constraints limit the serviceability of rigid circuit boards or hand wiring. A common application of flex circuits is in computer keyboards; most keyboards use flex circuits for the switch matrix. In LCD fabrication, glass is used as a substrate.

ZigBee En principio, el ámbito donde se prevé que esta tecnología cobre más fuerza es en domótica, como puede verse en los documentos de la ZigBee Alliance, en las referencias bibliográficas que se dan más abajo en el documento «ZigBee y Domótica». La razón de ello son diversas características que lo diferencian de otras tecnologías: Su bajo consumo.Su topología de red en malla.Su fácil integración (se pueden fabricar nodos con muy poca electrónica). Visión general[editar] La relación entre IEEE 802.15.4-2003 y ZigBee es parecida a la existente entre IEEE 802.11 y Wi-Fi Alliance. La especificación 1.0 de ZigBee se aprobó el 14 de diciembre de 2004 y está disponible a miembros del grupo de desarrollo (ZigBee Alliance). ZigBee utiliza la banda ISM para usos industriales, científicos y médicos; en concreto, 868 MHz en Europa, 915 en Estados Unidos y 2,4 GHz en todo el mundo. ZigBee vs Bluetooth[editar] ZigBee es muy similar al Bluetooth pero con algunas diferencias y ventajas para domótica:
Optinvent Hobby Engineering Home Page Euro Store Home Wrap VGA Controller The Wrap VGA Controller enables all models of the Wrap video eyewear to connect to a VGA port on a desktop or laptop computer for watching video. Although the Wrap VGA Controller is not intended for use as a monitor replacement, it offers superior quality over S-video connections and expands the versatility of Wrap eyewear models. When used, it replaces the battery/control box provided with the Wrap video eyewear and draws power from the computer through its USB connection. · Can be used with a VGA - DVI adaptor (not included)· Works for 2D video· Works for side-by-side and anaglyph 3D video· Requires VGA port or DVI port (w/DVI adaptor) and a USB 2.0 port· Works with Windows 7, XP, or Vista The Wrap VGA Controller is compatible with the Wrap 920 & Wrap 1200 models, it is not compatible with the Wrap 280XL/310XL.

Welcome Magic Leap Logically, I know there isn’t a hulking four-armed, twisty-horned blue monster clomping in circles in front of me, but it sure as hell looks like it. Magic Leap Breakthrough A device that can make virtual objects appear in real life. I’m sitting behind a workbench in a white-walled room in Dania Beach, Florida, in the office of a secretive startup called Magic Leap. He’s not just visible at a set distance. Of course, I bring him as near as possible; I want to see how real he looks up close. Virtual- and augmented-reality technologies used in movies, smartphone apps, and gadgets tend to underdeliver on overhyped promises with images that look crappy. To be sure, stereoscopic 3-D has recently started getting better. But while Oculus wants to transport you to a virtual world for fun and games, Magic Leap wants to bring the fun and games to the world you’re already in. Behind the magic By day, Abovitz is a technology entrepreneur with a background in biomedical engineering. —Rachel Metz
Liquidware : Open Source Electronics THERMOELECTRIC POWER MODULE SELECTION PURCHASE At present we manufacture thermoelectric power modules constructed with Aluminum flame sprayed hot side contacts. Listed TEG power modules can operate at temperatures of 320°C (608°F) and are the highest temperature Thermoelectric Power Modules available with limited exposure to higher temperatures without degradation. In stock TEG modules are lapped, (same thickness). Enabling multiple power modules to be applied to the same surface resulting in the same contact force when the plates are compressed for excellent assembly results and TEG power generation results. All of our Thermoelectric Power Generation Modules come with hot side ceramic plate already attached as a floating plate. Affixed with high temperature RTV silicone seal and free floating to reduce the stress imposed by the Delta Temperature (DT) across each TEG module! Options : Custom cold side slitting ideal technique for multi-temperature cycling and reduced stress on the module couples.. Examples :
