Adding Human Brain To A Computer Gives A Brain Box?

‘A new type of computer that mimics the complex interactions in the human brain is being built by UK scientists’

The £1m machine, nicknamed the “brain box”, will be constructed at the University of Manchester.

The first of its kind in the world, it will be used to help researchers engineer fail-safe electronics.

Professor Steve Furber, of the university school of computer science, said computer science had much to

Intelligent Brake Lights Could Save Your Life

‘Smart lights provide more information to drivers’

The messages sent by brake lights to the driver behind bear a small resemblance to the binary code used by computers. But as we all know, the binary code is hardly the perfect communication language. For example, when you press the brake pedal, the break lights signal to the cars behind your intention to stop, except that

P4P Is The Smarter Version Of P2P

‘Make way for the new Optimized P2P Network’

The P4P working group demo’d higher P2P download speeds with 1/6th the inter-metro hops that soak up expensive, long-distance network bandwidth. P4P is designed to enable better ISP and P2P coexistence with a win/win solution: better performance for users and less network overhead for the ISP.

P4P speeds up P2P downloads by localizing network traffic. Standard P2P traffic gets spread all

Bionic Contact Lens paves the platform of human supervision

‘The Hollywood vision of ‘Bionic Eyes’ is likely to come true as Scientists of Washington University has made an innovative Bionic contact lens equipped with tiny nano electrical circuits that can zoom the object and display some very useful facts, claimed researchers.’

This is the first time that ientist have mounted the electronic circuit in regular contact lenses.

They have also used the organic component to sooth

Garbage into fuel

T Raghavendra Rao, director, Sustainable Technologies and Environmental Projects (STEPS) filed for a global patent last year for his technique of converting waste — think plastic, sewage, slaughterhouse waste, hospital waste, petroleum byproducts — into liquid fuel and gas. And it’s easy on the environment, for the process does not emit heat-trapping gases that contribute to global warming.

Rao, a former oil industry expert, thinks ‘waste is

Now a $75 Laptop

‘A spin-off from OLPC, Pixel Qi, is looking to create a $75 laptop and trying to advance low-cost computers and power-efficient’

A laptop under US$100 could reach desks if a new venture formed by former chief technology officer of One Laptop Per Child, Mary Lou Jepsen, can deliver on its promises.

A “spin-out” from OLPC, the company, Pixel Qi is looking to create a $75 laptop and trying to

Delphi’s Dashboard of the Future

According to Delphi’s research, drivers who keep their eyes within a 20 degree range are less distracted, and therefore less likely to crash. Its four-screen dashboard prototype lets drivers keep their eyes within that range, by using video screens instead of mirrors, and putting them inside the car rather than outside.

The company’s ICP (Information, Convenience, Protection) system includes seven cameras: two on the sides, two in

Fulcrum Brings 10 Gb Ethernet Speed

“This could be the cornerstone for tomorrow’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link.”

More and more chipset manufacturers include at least one Ethernet connection to go with a trendy motherboard. This is not much more expensive than a regular 10/100 Mbps card and, if necessary, it can be purchased separately should you need more than your motherboard can offer. Nvidia and Intel are only two of the players
