Toshiba, IBM, and AMD Develop world's smallest functional Static Random Access Memory cell: Toshiba, IBM and AMD have together developed a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell that has an area of only 0.128 square micrometers (μm2), the world's smallest functional SRAM cell that makes use of fin-shaped Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs). The cell, developed with a high-k/metal gate (HKMG) material, offers advantages over planar-FET cells for future technology generations. SRAM cells are circuit components in most systems-level, large-scale integrated circuits such as microprocessors, and smaller SRAM cells can help provide smaller, faster processors that consume less power .

Bang & Olufsen Sound System for Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet has settings for Roof Closed and Roof Open.: The tuning process is really about adapting the system to the room that it is playing in, and the Audi cabriolet is like having two possible rooms. Therefore, Bang & Olufsen has devised two versions of each of the three tunings that enable the customer to preset or change the sound image, optimizing it to the number of people in the car and their position. In addition to the three occupancy settings (driver, front seats or all seats), the Sound System developed especially for the Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet consequently also has settings for Roof Closed and Roof Open. The system detects when the roof opens or closes and adapts automatically, and Bang & Olufsen has optimized the response of the system in both cases to provide crystal clear sound even under the open sky. Further highlights of the system include a powerful output of no less than 505 Watt delivered by 10 amplifiers to 12 custom-made loudspeakers, and supported by proprietary True Image surround sound technology.
