Razer today announced the long awaited update to the Razer DeathAdder. The new Razer DeathAdder is an upgraded replacement for the original and is now equipped with the ultra-precise 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor and tangle-free braided fiber cable. The Razer DeathAdder utilizes a right-handed ergonomic design to provide optimum comfort for intensive and extended game play. Its 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor provides gamers with 4x more precision than a standard 800 dpi mouse. The 1000Hz Ultra polling response time of 1ms delivers instantaneous execution, giving gamers the competitive edge over opponents with faster communication between the Razer DeathAdder and the computer.
Toyota has developed a clear-coat paint with self-restoring qualities that is highly resistant to surface scratches usually caused by car wash brushes or fingernails. Unlike a conventional clear coat, Toyota's newly developed coat is not easily damaged and can even restore itself even if it is deformed. Moreover, it requires no special maintenance, prevents luster degradation caused by surface scratches and helps to prolong new-car color and gloss.
Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba today announced the formation of a Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group that intends to create an industry standard for an audio/video interface to connect mobile phones or portable consumer electronics (CE) devices directly to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays. This new mobile connectivity standard, based on Silicon Image Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, will be defined, promoted and marketed by the Working Group as an industry standard open to anyone desiring to be an adopter and enable the development of mobile products that adhere to this new standard across a broad connectivity ecosystem.
Sharp will introduce into the Japanese market four models (60V-inch, 52V-inch, 46V-inch, and 40V-inch) of the LX Series LED Aquos LCD TVs from November 10, 2009. The Sharp LX Series offers a further evolution in digital image processing performance thanks to Sharp’s Aquos High-Picture-Quality Master Engine image processing chip for highly precise reproduction of fast-moving images. The new Preferred Image Sensor not only adjusts to the room viewing environment and the on-screen content; it also automatically adjusts image and sound quality to the viewers’ personal preferences. The new Aquos Familink II makes it even more convenient to access the relevant functions of peripheral devices and thus easily control them while watching TV.
Panasonic has developed a 50-inch Full HD 3D compatible plasma display panel (PDP) and high-precision active shutter glasses that enable the viewing of theater-quality, true-to-life 3D images in the living rooms. This 50-inch PDP uses Panasonic's newly-developed high-speed 3D drive technology that enables rapid illumination of pixels while maintaining brightness. The panel also incorporates a crosstalk reduction technology allowing for minimizing double-image (ghosting) that occurs when left- and right-eye images are alternately displayed. PDPs have excellent video response with full moving picture resolution.
The new panel offers even improved performance, achieving clear, high-quality and high-resolution images in 3D. The high-precision active shutter glasses incorporate Panasonic's technology that precisely controls the active shutters with the left- and right-eye images shown on the PDP.
Offering a range of sizes from 10.2" to 12.1", VIA NetNote Turnkey Systems combine the portability and affordability of a netbook with the functionality and HD entertainment capabilities of a notebook in a light, high performance clamshell mobile device with long battery life, and support for flawless playback of high bit-rate 1080p HD video. VIA NetNote Turnkey Systems feature a choice of VIA C7-M ULV or VIA Nano processors supporting an 800MHz FSB, combined with the VIA VX855 media system processor. The VIA VX855 enables the VIA Surfboard C855 to support hardware acceleration of leading video standards including H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1 at the highest bit-rates and resolutions, greatly reducing the workload and thus the power consumption of the processor.
A-DATA today launched its new high-density DDR3 1333MHz 8GB server memory modules that feature the latest Fly-by architecture and the thermal sensor. Engineered to support Intel next-generation Nehalem-based Xeon 5500 Series processors, the A-DATA DDR3 1333 8GB server module is the ideal solution for zero-fault-tolerant servers and workstations.The high-density, high-capacity DDR3 1333 8GB Serve modules utilize the innovative Fly-by architecture to improve signal integrity.
Murata has developed a unicycle-riding robot modeled on the image of a kindergarten girl- MurataGirl ('09 model). The 50-cm-tall robot with Virgo Zodiac sign weighs 6kg. Standing on its lone wheel, the robot can remain stationary, go back and forth and move along a curve by using built-in gyro sensors. MurataGirl maintains her balance by arbitrarily controlling rotation of the wheel for front-to-back direction, and rotation of the fly-wheel built into her chest for side-to-side direction, controlled by signals from the gyro sensor. She can ride at 15cm/sec-three times faster than 2008 model.
