Viking unveiled a new modular approach to a healthy increase in stock to add a computer or server. Instead of being subject to the relatives of 2.5 or 3.5-inch form factor, the company introduced SATADIMM – except the memory modules. Way, as the system RAM, and comes in DDR3 slots on the motherboard, but joins SATA interface card has resulted in business class up to 200 gigabytes of solid state Disk storage is made available. While it may find its way into the enterprise systems and data centers, servers in the near future, designers of systems and find vhodný module to create even thinner mobile devices like Tablet PC.

Storage Solutions business class voice SATADIMM solid state drive is installed on the memory module system. In fact a trip to JEDEC industry standard DIMM 240-pin DDR3 form factor that fits into a free memory slot on the motherboard to support the new store. Power unit must be met and 1.5 V supply slot paper solutions leverage SATADIMM module must be connected to SATA II after application.

Since our hungry appetite for power to save memory slot available on the PC may be futile exercise, but for business and presentation server boards and different landscapes in these environments is likely SATADIMM find a suitable home. However, the form factor seems to lend itself to a new slim design, the wireless system storage, which can be powered directly aimed at making, taking, or you see a hybrid slot – good or geheugen storage.

5.25 x 0.305 x 1.003 inches (133.35 x 7.75 x 25.5 mm) SATADIMM solution satisfies a fraction of the space to accommodate more familiar 2.5-inch hard disk solutions, said that a offer sustained read / write speed of 260 Mb / s performance of 30,000 sequential and random operations I / O per second. It is compatible with most operating systems have joined the AES-128, SSD-specific command and SMART support TRIMS.

Vikings Adrian Proctor said: “This may come back to life the most high performance systems and low power consumption of SSD technology. Moreover, the new design has reduced the requirements for a standard hard disk. ”

SATADIMM is currently available in 50GB, 100GB or 200GB, but the solution is only available directly in the system, manufacturers and designers.

Back in the old days of the year 80, my brothers and I were lucky to have a VIC-20 team received for Christmas. As funny as I was whiling away time classics like Missile Command and Runner vein, I’ve always been mad with jealousy of friends that the power of the Commodore 64 had at their disposal. Now, 20 years later, I finally was able to saturate my jealousy C64 with the message that good ol ‘back into the market soon – and some much more impressive specifications.

Commodore United States has recently announced a licensing agreement that such a range of products from the Commodore brand new All-In-One (AIO), keyboard and made plans to start selling an exact copy of the original chassis C64 beige. Cue some moist eyes, remembered largely by our readers.

Because users feel that the specifications of the original 8-bit C64 is a bit lacking in the present and explore the possibility of loading games from tape drives positively archaic, updated Commodore PC64, an Intel Atom 525 processor NVIDIA Ion2, 4GB of DDR3 memory, 1 TB Hard Drive, HDMI, DVD / CD optical (Blu-ray optional), two-link DVI ports, six USB ports, integrated 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth and a 6-in -1 card reader.

The company also launched a version for Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 330 GT with 512 MB of hard disk 2 TB, 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM, and Blu-ray disc. However, no act of PC64 housing original C64.

The PC64 and PC64 Commodore poster U.S., including friends (who is “” no “and” end) – a team AIO basic entry-level configuration includes an on-chip – Invictus – keyboard on the computer and a half, but join with integrated LCD screen – and the recently launched Phoenix – which is the flagship model powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo or Quad Core. Pictures of them in the gallery.

U.S. plans to release Commodore PC64 and PC64 in time for Christmas. No information on pricing, though.

Jesus 2,000 years ago would have been in the water, but soon we shall dine. In an attempt for sustainable environment, scientists revealed a new alternative “green” in the queue for wood commonly used oil-based. Representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Products Laboratory in Wisconsin, speaks at 2:40 of the week meeting of the National Society of Chemistry United States, spoke about the development of the tail of soy. On the background of foods such as soy milk and tofu, and a new generation of ecological floors, furniture, cabinets and other wood products do.

This new glue uses of soybean meal, an additive used in the manufacture of paper water resistant. The tail is as effective as oil-based glue, but without the toxic fumes of formaldehyde (a potential carcinogen) liberated from the traditional wood, plywood and other composite products. Formaldehyde fumes can cause short-term symptoms such as itchy and burning sensation in eyes, nose and throat and skin irritation. Charles Frihart, Ph.D., who participated in the study, said such problems, together with the increase of petrol and great drive towards sustainability is encouraging Drève výrobci another look at the soybeans. Many wood products are now appear to be solid wood, but in reality is often composed of pieces of wood together with adhesive binding oil.

“The development of products made of wood adhesive proteins such as plywood is early 20th century,” said Frihart. “Petro-adhesive proteins are replaced in most applications based on cost efficiency, production efficiency and durability. But there are more technological and environmental factors that led to the recovery of proteins, especially soybean meal as the main adhesive to the inside of the plywood and wood floors. ”

soybean varieties were tested adhesives academia, industry and government researchers in the U.S.. Trying to tail wood samples under extreme conditions, including water, and exposure to high heat. After the completion of evidence that soy-based adhesives from soy flour and other switches is high performance. Frihart and fight for a team of researchers are now formulating a new soy adhesives, which are more powerful than existing ones.

The soy and lime currently represents less than five percent of the market for wood adhesives. It is hoped that this study will help increase the use and presence of “green” glue around the world to enlarge. U. S. Forest Service is preparing adhesives for Ashland Hercules and Heartland Resource Technologies.

There are planes and pools that give future astronauts a taste of what zero gravity, would feel but believes they will feel after returning from this environment is also important for simulation. The astronauts returned to Earth’s gravity often experience disturbances in their vision and neurological functions, to the extent that they may have difficulty walking, balance, or even safely landed their spaceship. Using galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) system, but scientists can give you an idea of what to expect, so you better make up for it when it happens in this area.

The system was developed by Dr. Stephen Moore and National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). It consists of a small box that sends five miliampers current electrodes placed behind the ears of patients. These electrodes provide electricity through the skin in the vestibular nerve, which in turn sends signals to the brain, resulting in mental disorders. When the box is portable, the participants while attempting to walk – no doubt a big hit at company parties NSBRI.

Moore tried the system 12 to test at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett, California. Each object flew 16 simulated landing site, half of GVS, and the other half outside. We compared the results of data collected from more than 100 for the landing. People with GVS, he concluded, similar to the damage experienced by pilots of aircraft in real estate.

No. GVS participants have a tendency to land shuttle in the simulated speed of 204 knots, which is on track. With GVS, the average speed of 210 knots in the vicinity, the upper limit of the area. Similarly, using GVS respondents were also more difficult to implement a common approach to braking when the boat 20 degrees angle of 1.5 degrees glide path angle. That is the point where the real pilots frequently seen psychiatric disorders.

Moore said that his system could be used as an analog to a second space and air operations and can even be used to prepare persons with disabilities vestibulars after surgery consequences. NSBRI research team is now trying to determine whether people can adapt to the effects of GVS on several occasions.

Viking introduced a new modular approach to the addition of solid state storage devices on your computer or server. Instead of being tied to the famous 2.5 and 3.5-inch form factor, the company introduced SATADIMM – file storage module. There is a sort of RAM and the system slides DDR3 slots on the motherboard, but the connection to the plate leads to a SATA 200 GB Enterprise-class storage device, solid state provides. Although it may find its place in enterprise systems and servers for data centers in the near future, the system designers find tools for creating and slimmer form devices such as Tablet PC.

SATADIMM voice storage solution enterprise-class hard drive installed in the module system’s memory. Actually comes the device in a JEDEC industry standard 240-pin DIMM DDR3 factors fit into the memory slots on the motherboard to boost novel.la storage. Energy needs are met by the device power supply of 1.5 V and make decisions SATADIMM slot module must be connected to a SATA II interface in position.

With regard to the appetite of hungry computer, looking for an extra memory space on your desktop computer can be a futile exercise, but business advice and servers have different landscapes and environments that are most likely SATADIMM find suitable housing. But the form factor seems to be borrowed in a new slim system, which offers cable, without storage, the device can be contacted directly, or see it become a hybrid slot – such as memory or storage.

To 5.25 x 0.305 x 1.003 inches (133.35 x 25.5 x 7.75 mm) Resolution SATADIMM occupies part of the solution space to accommodate more familiar 2.5-inch disk, which it says offer lifelong reading and writing speed of 260MB / II consistently and execute arbitrary 30,000 operations I / O per second. It is compatible with all major operating systems have built-in AES-128 encryption, support for specific SMART SSD, trims and management support.

Vikings Adrian Proctor said: “It can give new life to the entire system with high performance and low power consumption of SSD technology. It is also an opportunity for a new design is no longer limited to standard hard drives.”

In SATADIMM currently available in 50GB, 100GB and 200GB capacities, but the decision is only to be provided directly by manufacturers and system designers.

Ultra-thin tablets, laptops and other mobile devices can be set to see even thinner with the development of solid state SATA drives smaller than postage stamps. New integrated SanDisk SSD (SIDS) This device is only 0.072 inch (1.85 mm) thick, tipping scales at only 0029 of an ounce (0.83g) and is currently available in sizes up to 64GB. It is the fastest SSD option, but it is actually minimal.

Before you open the last penny of SIDS, which is only available for selected manufacturers for review at this time. But with only 0.629 x 0.787 x 0.072 inches (16 x 20 x 1.85 mm) size and current capacity of 4GB (the easiest 0.029oz/0.83g) 64GB (0.045oz/1.3g), not long before consumer devices offers spacious, ultra -ultra-slim phones, where the external tank as an additional, rather than the need for additional surgery.

SanDisk says SIDS “Flash SSD is the first device to support industry-standard SATA interface in a small BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that can be welded to the motherboard.” If the unit uses an integrated design, manufacturers should be able to get more volume and weight on solutions and terminals to avoid, as well as their bigger cousins solid state that SIDS benefit of low power consumption and an obvious lack of moving parts difficult.

Storage solution is reported to provide data access at speeds up to 100 MB / s sequential write and 160MB/sec sequential read and is compatible with most operating systems. Other benefits include unlimited use of the cycle of reading and support SMART TRIM and lifespan of up to 40 TB in writing.

electron spin, or “espintrònica” promises revolution. We have a lot of progress in the field, including control of electron spin, handled by free electrons, and the first plastic device espintrònica memory of the computer. However, a major obstacle for researchers “espintrònica is difficult to trace the flow of electrons spinning in real time. The discovery of a new form of electron spin in semiconductor recognize these changes and how to develop and lead teams of top electronics.

“We are responsible for the electron in the last few decades,” said Zhao Hui, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Kansas (KU). “But now, the size of each unit is only 30-50 nanometers, and do not have many atoms that small. We can not stay this way because we have reached fundamental limits.”
Espintrònica

Instead of using the presence or absence of electronic charges espintrònica based on the rotation of an electron to carry information.

“Approximately one electron can be considered as a small ball that spins like a baseball,” said Zhao. “The difference is that baseball can spin at any speed, but only the electrons can work on speed – either clockwise or counter. Therefore we use the spin-state to a” zero “and another that represents” one. As a single electron can have this information, it takes much less time and less energy. The goal is to replace everything – from computers to storage devices – to provide better performance and lower power consumption,

“We were able to accelerate electrons rotating screens, but the speed is relative to the current circulation,” says Zhao. “So there is no way to directly detect the current line to the present.”
flow revealed by laser

Zhao and Lalana Werake KU student found that the laser beam is a piece of semiconductor material creates the different colors of light, when the flow of electrons spinning and the light of new evidence concerning the effect of spin current.

Optical effect known as second harmonic generation, can “spin-screen flow in real time without changing their supply. Zhao new method compares with a police radar gun, the car speed on the field as it happens.

This improves the tour so far in the analysis of current usage, KU researchers say resembles the image further analyzed to determine the speed of a car that long after the vehicle away.

“Espintrònica is still under investigation and we hope that this new technology can be used in laboratories for the study of issues of interest to scientists,” said Zhao. “If the industrialized espintrònica, we expect this technique to control the quality of the routine, for example.”

The results of laboratory researcher at the University of ultrafast laser will be published in the September issue of the journal Nature Physics.

We all know that we do not need entertainment for people with glasses, but now that the insects with bifocal earn our respect. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have found that insect larvae sunbeams dive (Thermonectus marmoratus) have bifocal eyes. As it is known that the first known instance of actual bifocals in the animal kingdom. Previously, the only prehistoric trilobites are suspected to have bifocal vision. In addition to sharing a big hairy bug with the world, this news could affect human technology.

Larvae have two retinas and two different basic levels in each of at least four of their eyes (the study focused on a set of two eyes). This means that each eye has two image processing, especially in the two eyes. How people can switch between bifocals larvae foreground and distance vision, but their system is much more efficient than ours. In his version, the picture out of focus by turning the lens focused image with a second, which researchers believe could improve visual contrast. Insects spend bifocal vision specifically for ambush and capture prey, because there are many small cars, or books in their natural habitat.

Initially, scientists doubted their results, but acknowledged that he looks at the eyes of larvae under a microscope and studying the fracture shined laser beams through his eyes.

The discovery at the laboratory of K. Busch Beck, assistant professor of biology at UC. “We hope that this discovery could have implications for humans to be the future of research in biomedical engineering,” he said. Ph.D. Annette STOWASSER researcher added that the discovery can be used in imaging technology.

The study was recently published in the journal Current Biology.

The origin of this field in southern Peru and the first were domesticated between 3000 and 2000 BC, spread the potatoes in an integral part of world food production and fourth in the world now. Researchers already have found not one but two simple, low cost to increase the amount of antioxidants in humble potato. These include the provision of electric shock, Spud, while others Zap is an ultrasound, high sound wave.

“We found that treatment of potatoes with ultrasound or electricity for 50 to 30 minutes, increased levels of antioxidants – phenols such as chlorogenic acids and – 50 percent,” said Kazunori Hironaka, Ph.D., who led a research. “Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables are considered important in the nutritional prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, various cancers, diabetes and neurological diseases.”

Ultrasonic treatment consists of immersing the whole potatoes in water and subjected to ultrasound for 5 or 10 minutes. In the electrical therapy, the researchers potatoes dipped in saline solution for 10 seconds, and then treated with a small electrical charge to carry 10, 20 and 30 minutes. In the research team then measured the antioxidant activity and polyphenol levels and concluded that these substances increase the tension. 5 minutes ultrasound, such as increased levels of polyphenols and other antioxidants, with about 1.2 times 1.6 times.

Hironaka, participating in the University of Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan, said that the process of expanding the use of the growing commercial interest among users of so-called “functional foods”. Its products such as fruits, nuts, chocolate, wine and health benefits of soy may be that the traditional diet. These foods can promote good health, for example, or reduce the risk of certain diseases. Hironaka is estimated that sales of these products in the United States is the focus of 20 billion U.S. dollars annually.

“We knew from previous studies of land to the blues and other stressful situations that may encourage the accumulation of phenolic compounds to lead to positive,” said Hironaka. “We found that there have been no studies on the health effects of applying mechanical fatigue vegetables. So I decided in this study the efficacy of ultrasound and electrical treatment of polyphenols and other antioxidants in the potatoes evaluated.

Someone seems to break out numbers, and that more than 100 million birds die each year due to collisions with the surface of the glass – not to mention countless people spilled drinks surprised as a bird crashed against a nearby window. Birds see a tree or the sky reflected in the window or the environment via windows, but the glass itself. German company Glaswerke Arnold (Arnold glass) has come up with a simple way to avoid collisions, the glass, which seems normal for people but visible to birds.

Working on the principle that birds are able to light in the ultraviolet spectrum of safety glass bird trick Ornilux hold the ball of spiders produced tissue web protects birds fly over them in parallel. LEL special UV reflective. In recognition of this company has developed a model of UV-reflective glass coating that lets you see birds, while maintaining the transparency of the human eye.

Glass was first introduced in 2006, but the company launched an enhanced version of aesthetic appearance of the cross. Developed in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, this latest version is called Ornilux Mikado, because if you look at the lights, the cap looks like a game of chance in evolution Mikado pickup sticks.

Tests at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell ornithological station in Germany led to a reduction of 75% of the birds compared to standard glass. I’m not sure if all the animals have been damaged during the test, but apparently they have brain for a good cause.
