Camera Powered by Android

Recently Samsung has unveiled its brand new Android-powered GALAXY Camera that allows the user to only to take quality images, but also surf the Web wirelessly overWi-Fi, 3G or 4G networks and share the shots in an instant. The device boasts a 23 mm, 21x optical zoom lens (F2.8), along with a 16.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, optical image stabilization technology, GPS and a 4.8-inch (121.2mm), HD "Super Clear" LCD display. Of course the most impressive thing about the camera is the fact that it features a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor that helps run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). The device can also be connected to Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Another impressive feature is voice control of zooming and shooting features. The use will also be able to edit photos and videos onboard. Currently no information has been given on pricing and release date. Below you can find additional specs for the GALAXY Camera. -> 4.77-inch, 308 ppi HD Super Clear Touch Display -> ISO100 - 3200 -> 8 GB on board memory plus micro SDHC/SDSC/SDXC memory slot -> Full HD video 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps -> Slow motion movie capture (720 x 480 at 120 fps) -> HDMI video output -> Dimensions: 128.7 x 70.8 x 19.1 mm -> Weight: 305 g Source: Tech Guid...

100 Gigabits A Second: World Record Wireless Data Transmission Set

Photo: KIT Extension of cable-based telecommunication networks requires high investments in both conurbations and rural areas. Broadband data transmission via radio relay links might help to cross rivers, motorways or nature protection areas at strategic node points, and to make network extension economically feasible. In the current issue of the nature photonics magazine, researchers present a method for wireless data transmission at a world-record rate of 100 gigabits per second. (doi: 10.1038/nphoton.2013.275) In their record experiment, 100 gigabits of data per second were transmitted at a frequency of 237.5 GHz over a distance of 20 m in the laboratory. In previous field experiments under the “Millilink” project funded by the BMBF, rates of 40 gigabits per second and transmission distances of more than 1 km were reached. For their latest world record, the scientists applied a photonic method to generate the radio signals at the transmitter. After radio transmission, fully integrated electronic circuits were used in the receiver. Setup for the world record of wireless data transmission at 100 gigabits per second: The receiver unit (left) Photo: KI receives the radio signal that is recorded by the oscilloscope (right).  “Our project focused on integration of a broadband radio relay link into fiber-optical...

Hidden Camera Detectors

Full introduction to the Hidden Camera Detector App for iPhone including instructions for use. the HCD App to find spy cameras that may be spying on you! The first and only Hidden Camera Detector for iPhone helps you make sure there are no spy cameras invading your privacy. To learn more click the video, Hidden camera and bug detector:  Click here to know, How Does a Hidden Voice Recorder Work?, 3 Ways to Detect Hidden Cameras and Microphones - wikiHow, Do you feel like you're being watched? Maybe you just want to make sure your privacy is protected. Here are some different ways to locate hidden cameras and microphones. (1) Initial Sweep: Do a physical search of the premises. This involves a slow, meticulous sweep of the room or building you suspect is wired. (A) Look around for anything that seems different or out of place, such as flower arrangements, pictures on the wall out of level or in unusual areas, or lampshades that don't look normal. Check for smoke detectors you didn't add, look for a speaker that might have a camera in it. (B) Look inside flower pots, light fixtures, and other places where a microphone transmitter can easily be hidden. (C) Look under couch cushions, table tops, and shelves. Underneath shelves and table tops are excellent places for miniature...

Clothes of the future: where hi-tech meets high fashion

Photo: EPA It seems impossible to survive in the modern world without going either “smart” or digital, and clothes are no exception. The fashion industry is now working on technology to bring dressing habits to a completely new level. We're still in the stone age of nano-fibres and networked apparel but, in the not too distant future, you can count on having a coat which tells your mom where you are and having the Encyclopaedia Britannica embedded in your underwear! According to IMS Research, about 14m wearable tech devices were produced in 2011; by 2016, the global market could reach $6bn. Nancy Tilbury, designer to the stars and one of the creators of the futuristic Studio XO, predicts, “Generation Digital are constantly connected and live their lives digitally. Clothes are the next logical step”. Though thought of now as innovation, tampering with textiles and technology has been going on for over a thousand years. Artisans have been wrapping fine golden and silver foil around fabric threads since as early as the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. At the end of the 19th century, with the advent of electric appliances, designers and engineers sought to combine electricity with clothing and jewellery; the so-called Electric Girl Lighting Company hired out young ladies wearing light-adorned evening gowns to brighten up cocktail parties....

Robotic Insects Make First Controlled Flight

Last summer, in a Harvard robotics laboratory, an insect took flight. Half the size of a paper clip, weighing less than a tenth of a gram, it leapt a few inches, hovered for a moment on fragile, flapping wings, and then sped along a preset route through the air. Like a proud parent watching a child take its first steps, graduate student Pakpong Chirarattananon immediately captured a video of the fledgling and emailed it to his adviser and colleagues at 3 a.m. — subject line: “Flight of the RoboBee.” “I was so excited, I couldn’t sleep,” recalls Chirarattananon, co-lead author of a paper published this week in Science. The demonstration of the first controlled flight of an insect-sized robot is the culmination of more than a decade’s work, led by researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. “This is what I have been trying to do for literally the last 12 years,” saysRobert J. Wood, Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at SEAS, Wyss core faculty member, and principal investigator of the National Science Foundation-supported RoboBee project. “It’s really only because of this lab’s recent breakthroughs in manufacturing, materials, and design that we have even been able to try this. And it just wonderful."...
