Stackable Cars May Solve 'Last Mile' Problem

MIT believes they have come up with an eco-friendly solution to the 'last mile' problem. The 'last mile' refers to the distance you have to walk between your subway stop and your actual destination (i.e. home, work). The idea is to have a network of these small, electric cars stacked outside mass transit systems so commuters can grab them as needed. Instead of an engine they'll have four in-wheel electric motors run by lithium-ion batteries, saving a reasonable amount of space so the cars can be made extra small. They'll have 360 degrees of steering, so you can park the little bastards sideways in spots and maneuver into other small spaces. I'm not sure if something similar with bicycles or electric scooters has ever been attempted, but that may be a consideration as well. Good job MIT, except I invented stackable cars a year ago. And by 'invented stackable cars' I mean 'started a twelve car pile up during rush hour.'

LCD Privacy Screen

Advancing technology has helped create lightweight, thin screens of pliable plastic material that are constructed to blur or black out screen images. A LCD Privacy Screen filter allows the user to see the screen clearly when viewed from the front; however images begin blurring when viewed at an angle until screen is completely blacked out. The multi-purpose computer filters also eliminate typical office glare, increases screen image contrast, and helps protect your expensive monitor screen from scratches, fingerprints, and abrasions. Effective, frameless LCD privacy screens have typically been a single-source product.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS:

Helps ensure the privacy of on-screen data on your Notebook & LCD monitors.

Micro-Louver technology creates a narrow viewing angle. Image is only visible to those directly in front of the screen. Side view is black.

Reduces glare & increases contrast

Protects delicate LCD surface from damage.

Overlays LCD surface for a built in look

Secure-View Filters can also help health care institutions meets HIPAA Patient Privacy Act compliance.

Light Touch: Project an interactive 10 inch multi-touch screen practically anywhere

In a CES with few highlights, the Light Touch projector can easily count itself among the most talked about and revolutionary products.

Near endless possibilities

Combining the notions of fold-out keyboards, portable projectors, and Microsoft’s Surface into one, the Light Touch projector looks to turn any flat surface into a fully capable 10.1 inch touch screen. The reality of small portable Pico projectors projecting high quality media on any surface isn’t new, but this is. Instead of merely playing content, the Light Touch projector allows the user to interact with it, creating limitless possibilities in the process. Want to type a quick email at lunch? Simply aim the projector at the table for a full 10.1 inch keyboard and type away. Forgot your laptop and want to pass the time? Locate the nearest flat surface and play an interactive touch screen game with friends, or even watch a movie. Moreover, thanks to the projector’s wide throw angle, it can create a wide and detailed 10 inch image from a short distance away; removing the hassle of mounting it on the ceiling or from a distance.

Holographic Laser Projection Works

Holographic Laser Projection – or HLP™ – is a revolution in display technology. The term holographic refers to the inventive method we use to create 2D images.

Using holographic algorithms, we transform the image we want to project into sets of diffraction patterns, which are shown on a tiny microdisplay. When laser light illuminates the microdisplay, the projected image is formed by diffraction.

Diffraction patterns are highly efficient. Instead of blocking light, they steer light to exactly where it is needed and away from where it is not. Calculating the diffraction pattern for each high quality image would be too computationally intensive, so we’ve created a more elegant solution.

We calculate multiple patterns, each of which forms a rough version of the image. When viewed in rapid succession, the eye evens out the noise and perceives a single, clearly defined image. So you get efficient, high quality video in real time.

Using lasers means colours appear rich and vivid, and the image is always in focus. HLP™ technology also projects perfectly onto curved surfaces. Its uniquely wide throw angle creates large images very close to the projector. And HLP™ has a class 1 laser safety classification, making it completely eye safe.

These features enable us to integrate infrared sensing technology and create an interactive projector that instantly transforms any flat surface into a touch screen.

4G (Fourth-Generation Technology)

4G is the abbreviation of the fourth-generation technology. This term is generally used to refer to the development of mobile phone technology. 4g is the development of 3G technology. The official name of this technology 4g the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the "3G and beyond."
4G system will be able to provide a comprehensive IP solution where voice, data, and multimedia messages can flow to the user at any time and anywhere, on average data is higher than the previous generation. No formal definition for 4g. However, there are some ideas intended to 4g, namely: 4g will be IP-based system is fully integrated. This will be achieved after the cable and wireless technology can dikenversikan and able to generate speed 100Mb/detik and 1Gb/detik both in and outside the room with premium quality and high security. 4g will offer all types of services with prices. 4g each handset will have a direct number IP v6 has the ability to interact with the Internet telephony-based Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). All types of radio transmission, such as GSM, TDMA, EDGE, CDMA 2G, 2.5G will be used, and can be easily integrated with the radio in operasikan without a license, such as IEEE 802.11 in the 2.4GHz frequency & 5-5.8Ghz, bluetooth and wireless. Integration of voice and data in the same channel. Integration of voice and data applications SIP-enabled.
