Have you ever heard of an iPhone Projector. Well, if you haven’t but you have an iPhone, then you are really something. The iPhone Projector or Pico (pocket) projector has been around for some time right now, or it has hit the market since the beginning of 2011. So, it is not a quite new thing anymore.

What is an iPhone Projector?
As the name suggests, iPhone Projector is a projector that is able to help your iphone display the contents of your iphone into larger screen up to 200 inches large. The size of the iPhone Projector is similar to the size of the iPhone itself. So, it is as portable as the iPhone. If you want to grab one to enjoy the contents of your iPhone with far larger screen size than the iPhone screen size, you can find the iPhone projector at http://www.iphoneprojector.org.

Topology optimization methods are commonly used to design the spacecraft through the wing and the skyscraper is now used to recover the head and facial injuries in gunshot wound victims, war or people with cancer and brain tumors. This method is capable of generating bone structures according to the specifics of each patient’s needs.

In an experiment, the researchers are exploring the manufacture of three-dimensional structure for a patient who suffered severe injuries due to gunshot wounds to the face. After sorting out the field of design of craniofacial bones, the researchers apply a load, support, and cavity pressure, ie areas without bones, such as the eye socket. Topology optimization offers a variety of potential structures that meet all the specific needs of the patient.

Although the simulated topology optimization does not give results that mimic natural bone structure, this method still give priority to vital organs functioning face when trying to provide a secure platform for facial surgery and prostheses. “This process will show the alternatives available to the surgeon before they entered the operating room,” said Glaucio Paulino, director of the National Science Foundation.

At this time, the bone structure is made using a lightweight but strong titanium. Unfortunately, titanium can lead to infections because the material is foreign to the body.

With advances in the field of tissue engineering in the future, print the human bone tissue into a structure is not something that is difficult to be realized. Researchers are still investigating how to ensure the bone structure of living tissue that is created using this process will maintain the desired shape once implanted into the patient’s face.

Paulino and other members of the research team hopes to continue to transform the concept of the application by combining engineering and medicine to create other innovative findings. With the development of tissue engineering and topology optimization in the future, the total recovery of craniofacial injury can become a routine procedure in the operating room.

At an altitude between 700 kilometres to 1300 kilometres there are millions of debris.

In a conference, William Shelton, chairman of the U.S. Air Force Space Command expressed concern about the increasing number of man-made space junk.

“The numbers continue to rise. Now it has more than 50 countries involved in space exploration, “Shelton said, as quoted from Space, May 10, 2011. “Currently, more than 20 thousand objects in the unused space,” he said.

Currently, Shelton said, it continues to monitor regularly the growth of space debris. “Looking at growth trends, it is estimated that number will triple by 2030,” he said. “In fact, the possibility of the amount of waste is 10 times more because we have sensors that are currently not able to keep track of all the waste that exists,” said Shelton.

Without realizing it, when people feel embarrassed, their palms will sweat and feel hot and flushed cheeks. It happened because there are certain parts of the brain that controls feelings of shame.

In his laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco, United States, Virginia Sturm and his team isolated parts of the brain that controls shame. They found that feelings of shame that comes with experience, like listening to songs on your own, isolated in the network of your thumb in the brain.

In people who do not know shame, including those suffering from dementia, the brain region was far less than normal. “The area is actually very important for this reaction,” said Sturm. “When I lost that part, you do not have a longer response to shame.”

Shame Centre that focused on an area called the anterior cingulated cortex pregenual, tissue located deep within the brain. The region involved in regulating many automatic functions of human beings, such as sweating, heart rate and breathing, but also has a share in the various functions of thinking, including emotion, reward-seeking behaviour, and decision making. “Part of it has a dual role, both motor and visceral reaction,” said Sturm.

Anything Google can do even recruit a blogger who writes articles techno and social media at CNET to work for them. Caroline McCarthy remains primarily a techno writer at CNET social media during the last five years has been officially hired by Google and will soon start its activities as Googlers on May 16, 2011. According to sources techcrunch.com, Caroline McCarthy is a daily blogger who writes about social media at CNET. She has worked at CNET for five years and will soon leave CNET to join Google and enter into the Trends and Insights team. Caroline definitely yet to know exactly what her job, but she could be estimated at around writing, editing and data analysis.

The news recruits Caroline McCarthy is justified by their blogs by creating a post titled Onward, to the Plex. The Plex as well recognized is the Googleplex, Google’s headquarters. In her blog that she gives a little glimpse that he will work under Allison Money, Google’s Head of Trends & Insights. This section is one of the division of Google search trends and look at the trends that are in on the internet. Read the rest of this entry »

Computer vendors competing to make a tablet device that can run with the Android operating system 3.0 or Honeycomb.

Call it with tablets Xoom Motorola, Samsung from the beginning has been to unite the Android 2.2 (Froyo) to the Galaxy Pad Samsung, Acer, ASUS, and others.

They chose to collaborate with Google’s platform is artificial because the OS is claimed as an operating system specifically designed for tablet devices. Advantages than Android OS aimed at smart phones are able to surf the Internet with more satisfying.

However, it turns out Android Honeycomb not free from criticism. Citing tech site PC World, there are five things that must be repaired in the operating system that Google.

Anything? following review:

1. The colour is less detail.
If you look at the photographs displayed on devices using the Android operating system Honeycomb has a colour that is less sharp.

When reconcile the same image on Android-based tablet Honeycomb, iPad 2, even Android Froyo, the image on the Android Honeycomb was the most opaque. Maybe Google makes it looks darker, but the result is far from satisfactory.

2. The keyboard should be better.
In the Android operating system version 2.x, every virtual keyboard that is displayed has a design that fits in your hand. In that version, Google also made a feature button that automatically types a word context. Com and @ for easy browsing or writing email.

But, on Honeycomb Android, Google does not add useful features to it earlier.

3. Interface is less good.
If you observe the display interface on the tablet were Honeycomb Android platform, there are three virtual buttons as the main navigation at the bottom left of the main page.

Unfortunately, the three buttons, the only one that is clearly visible. Back again, this may be one consequence of the dark effects to demonstrate Google.

In addition, the “exit” is represented with arrows that could be interpreted as “back” button.

4. Root Directory “messy”.
A tablet is expected to be integrated with other devices, like USB, memory cards, televisions, disc players, and so forth. But, if you use a tablet Honeycomb, do not be surprised if the external device directory is not directly readable on the system, but tucked Removable directory.

As a result, the user must first dismantle the system directory manually to find the network where the external device is connected. Of course it takes patience and time to find it.

5. Readers external data sometimes problematic.
Do not be surprised if Android Honeycomb not recognize or can not read the data you store on an SD card or USB Flash. If indeed the system really can not read, sometimes the user will be prompted to re-enter your external device earlier.

Among several great technologies which have been developed nowadays, there is one item that will always be taken by most individuals in the world named cell phone. As special gadget that is categorized within communication technology, its progress is believed as the fastest work among all technologies that have taken important parts within human’s living. People with their cell phone numbers is the common condition that usually occurs in the world, and with this special gadget, they can get connected to all people that they known all over the places on earth.

Cell phone is the electronic communication that possesses the basic ability of conventional telephone with steady canal but people can bring it every where or portable gadget, and it doesn’t need to connect it with the cables from telephone lines or can called  as wireless system. Special functions that can be done here do not only as the connecting and receiving the calling, and it has the ability to send text message that people know this term as short message service / SMS.  Nowadays, among the great digital development technology, cell phone has also been influenced by the perfect features that can help people to do their living.

Some cell phones at present days have been produced by the great ability to play all television programs, this is of course can present people the fun feeling when they have been bored by plenty activities in their life. playing music and taking pictures are the common features that can be found toward most cell phone produced at present days. For the famous cell phone manufactures, the ability to connect the users to Internet is the main factor that has caused some cell phone to be called Smartphone.

The earliest story of cell phone actually started from the idea that was owned by the General Manager of Motorola Communication System Division, Martin Cooper, he ever wanted to have flexible communication tool that can be brought to where ever people go and went out from the strict limitation of fixed phone. After having researches, his idea finally could be arranged very well in April 3rd, 1973, and since then this time is always remembered as cell phone’s birthday by the gadget lovers. At that time,  He could arrange simple long distance conversation by portable communication device.

Actually Mr. Cooper’s portable cell phone once had 1 kg weight and 33 cm for its size. May be this condition caused this cell phone ancestors to be postponed its selling to public, and not only that, it is believed that at that time people needed 10 years to arrange the portable commercial telephone services for all users in the future. years later, in 1983, Motorola introduced their first cell phone which was called DynaTAC 8000X that was licensed by Federal Communications Commissions or people have been familiar it as FCC and it could be used by public for commercial purpose. This first commercial cell phone could be gotten in April, 1983, and being sold in a half weight of its ancestor (1.5 kg) and sold in very high prices, 3.500 dollar US.

In the future, it may be a cellular phone that we use daily are no longer using the batteries must be recharged.

Simultaneously charging the battery of course wasteful electricity and gradually declining battery life. To work around this, an engineer from the Institute of Nanotechnology at Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, South Korea, began to study voice as a mobile fuel.

That person was Dr. Sang-Woo Kim is trying to develop a new technique to convert sound into electricity. ‘How to’ fill ‘the phone is very easy, simply by speaking into the handset, “Kim said as quoted by the Telegraph, today.

In addition users are able to absorb the sound energy into electrical energy, the phone can also take advantage of background noise, like the strains of song, speech, which said horn-answer when jammed, noise voice in the classroom or the marketplace, and the rumble of construction.

Kim also discovered a unique way to charge the phone more quickly filled, by way of shouting. Yes, scream or shrill voice makes the phone more quickly absorb energy.

According to Kim, phones that use the power of voice is more easily used in everyday life rather than the phone battery electric energy. In addition, with the ability to absorb sound, then the noise level could be reduced. Read the rest of this entry »
