Intel closed its office located in Taiwan for the Wimax program (Wimax Program Office / WPO). All workers in the office were transferred to some other divisions.

The office was originally built to promote the use of wireless broadband technology that has been competing with cellular wireless technology. With WPO, Intel hopes to spread the benefits obtained with Wimax technology.

Intel also hopes that Wimax will become a cheaper technology that can be accessed by Internet users anywhere and anytime. Wimax technology is believed to have more speed than WiFi, and a wide coverage area.

Unfortunately, the WPO was eventually shut down by Intel. This step caused much speculation, one of which is that the closing is a form of Wimax failure. It is even considered that Intel is giving up to LTE, a wireless broadband technology that has always been competing with Wimax.

However, Intel does not justify such speculation. Intel is still committed to working to ensure Wimax market and raise it.

“The closure was not going to change our focus on Wimax. In fact we would merge the existing team with several related divisions to further enhance the commercialization of WiMAX. We are still committed to WiMAX,” said Intel spokesman in Singapore, Nick Jacobs. Jacobs added that currently there are approximately 500 WiMAX networks in 147 countries around the world to serve the broadband needs of approximately 10 million people.

The entire staff at the WPO will be transferred to several divisions such as Intel’s Mobile Wireless Group, PC Client Group, or the Sales Marketing unit.

It would be fun if everyone could anyone call each other without language barriers. Dream realized this is what Google’s trying to develop automated voice translator that will translate one language to another. Franz och as Head of Service stated that the Google translator, voice translator we thought the sound might be and can be realized within a few years and he believed the voice to voice translator possible if the accuracy of voice recognition engines and improved language translator again. He said Google was doing research to make it happen in the next few years.

Google website currently has a translator service for 52 languages in the world with sleuruh database be added accuracy. In addition, Google also has a voice recognition engine currently used in the search service applications on smartphones. The system was developed to combine the two technologies and using Google’s current database indexing languages from various sites around the world. However, recognition is not easy to make machine translation because each speaker’s voice had a dialect, accent, and how to talk different.

Did you ever have a watch or clock in a timely and accurate? Hours that we have not only to complement the appearance or accessories, for hours we have can lead us to perform everyday activities in a timely manner and as is well known that everyone has an hour to set the time from work activities and the other activities of her. The team of scientists in Colorado claims to have created the most accurate clock in the world. Hours are made at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Colorado was able to record 13.7 billion year age of the Earth in four seconds.

Patrick Gill, one of the scientists said they created the optical clock to monitor the trapped atoms sway aluminum atoms 27. Hours are two times more accurate than the previous version made in 2008, “said Gill, as quoted by New Scientist. Read the rest of this entry »

IBM processor speed faster and faster just with in the presence of strong sensations and the latest products, the core 8-core processors IBM Power7 which will competitive with products made by Hewlett Packard and Sun Microsystems. In fact, each core is capable of executing four activities called thread – so this really one processor has 32 virtual cores.

New breakthrough in the power of money is a combination of two 7 is made by IBM’s processor technology, the chip technology “Power” with a chip technology “Cell”. Cell-based processor has been also used in various devices from the Roadrunner supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory to the PlayStation 3.

Bradley McCredie as a member of IBM’s systems and technology said that they have taken the essence of Cell program that helps the process of calculations (floating point) and put it in the core Power7.

Battery, which in everyday life is very useful to energize the various electronic items and gadgets that we use, seems to be ‘thrown’ into the trash. Scientists in England created a sheet of plastic that can store and release electrical energy. This battery will change the way we use cell phones, driving a car, or maybe it could also change the way we dress.

In the future, various gadgets that we use may be as thin as a credit card. Such technology also brings us into the computer age with flexible screens that can be folded, rolled up and portable like a sheet of thin paper. It is not possible all the energy storage of plastic materials can be used to make ‘electric clothing’ that can recharge gadgets energy needs for the traveling person.

Dr Emile Greenhalgh from Imperial College London said that
actually the material is not a material developed for the battery, but a super capacitor material. The shape and design developed by Greenhalgh and his team have five-inch square size and are stacked to resemble a very thin wafers, It takes five seconds while recharging the energy required to light the LED for 20 minutes.

Greenhalgh was then working with the Volvo car Company make the material to be used for electric cars. He also felt very confident that the car in the future could fill the energy from the roof of the house or even the door, Read the rest of this entry »
