Fujitsu today announced the development of the world's first 101-watt (101-W) X-band high-output amplifier achieving the world's highest efficiency of 53% using gallium nitride high electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). Compared to X-band amplifiers with same-class output power using gallium arsenide (GaAs) HEMTs, this new amplifier can save much power dissipation and can be expected to achieve twice the range. By employing the new amplifier in the C band , Fujitsu achieved an output of 343 W, an advance over the 320 W output reported by Fujitsu Laboratories in 2008 which was the world's highest at that time.
Corsair memory modules using DHX+ (Dual-path Heat eXchange) technology – a patent-pending cooling approach that uniquely removes heat from both the memory ICs and print circuit board – feature removal cooling fins that allow for modular cooling accessories to be fitted. These include the recently-announced Hydro Series H30 water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, which are now joined by the extended cooling fins.
Working in concert with ASEtek Corsair has developed an easy-to-install CPU cooling solution that outperforms stock CPU coolers by more than 30%. Utilizing a copper CPU cooling plate and integrated pump connected to a 120mm radiator and high-efficiency, low-noise fan, the Corsair Hydro Series H50 high-performance CPU cooler delivers superior cooling for higher overclocking performance and greater stability. Corsair Hydro Series H50 high-performance CPU cooler is a closed-loop system that is supplied pre‑filled and fully connected using low permeability tubing to virtually eliminate evaporation and leaking.
Casio today announced the release of digital camera, the Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-H10. With a thin, compact body and a wide-angle 24mm, 10x optical zoom lens, this new model can also take 1,000 shot son a single battery charge — making it the perfect travel companion. The long-life battery gives users about 11 consecutive hours of viewing on a single charge. Only Casio could find a way to pack a 10X optical zoom lens, large, 3.0-inch monitor and a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism into such a slim, compact camera body, just 24.3 mm thin, convenient for travel. With wide-angle starting at 24 mm (35 mm film camera equivalent) all the way up to 10x telephoto zoom, the photographer is ready for any scene — from huge buildings and other wonders at tourist destinations to distant figures in a landscape. At the heart of the new Casio EX-H10 is the Exilim Engine 4.0, which delivers higher image quality and lower power consumption in an even more compact package.

Tokyo Tower Main Observatory is a blaze of lights for its “Milky Way Illumination” which features 10,000 blue lights. The blinking lights attached to the ceiling are thought to resemble the Milky Way, and coupled with the backdrop of the night view, the resulting scene creates an illusion of an infinite number of stars twinkling in the sky.Red lights represent Orihime (the female figure in the traditional Tanabata legend), and white lights represent Hikoboshi (the male figure). The illumination is set to run until July 12.
