Kingston today announced the release of the world's first ultra-low voltage memory running at 1.25 volts at 1600MHz.The dual-channel kit (Kingston part #: KHX1866C9D3LK2/4GX) comes preprogrammed with two XMP-ready profiles: 1.25 volts at 1600MHz and 1.35 volts at 1866MHz. The latter profile is also a world's first for speed matching higher frequency with a lower voltage. In all, Kingston is debuting three HyperX DDR3 dual-channel products in the 'LoVo' line: the dual-profile kit, a mainstream low voltage 1600MHz, 1.35 volt kit and an ultra-low voltage 1333MHz, 1.25 volt kit. All of the memory offerings are designed for use in eco-friendly PCs as systems delivering higher performance while using smaller energy footprints become reality.

The EPCOS T4030 from TDK is the smallest commercially available MEMS microphone worldwide with an integrated digital interface. The T4030 has a sensitivity of -26 dB FS (full scale), and a signal-to-noise ratio of 60 dBA. Even at a sound level of 100 dB, the distortion factor is under 1 percent. Its frequency response is characterized by high bandwidth and low amplitude fluctuations. The T4030 is largely insensitive to electromagnetic interference thanks to a digital PDM (pulse density modulation) output. The suppression of the power supply noise is -82 dB FS. Two channels can also be transmitted via one signal line, making stereo applications much simpler to implement than in analog technology.
Sanyo today announced the launch of new models for the eneloop bike lineup of electric hybrid bicycles that recharge themselves while being used. The new Sanyo eneloop bike models, CY-SPL226 and CY-SPL224 features a next-generation riding mode-Eco Charge Mode. The eneloop bike SPL series with the new Eco Charge Mode for regenerative charging control enables the rider to actively charge the battery while pedaling on flat roads. This series represents a new style of energy-creating models. The Eco Charge Mode controls the charging rate by ascertaining overall conditions such as foot pressure on the pedals and changes in dynamotor revolution speed.
This enables effortless regenerative charging while riding, that is comfortable for the rider, by adjusting for the change in various conditions such as the amount of exertion, speed, and road conditions. By traveling 1 km in Eco Charge Mode over flat ground, enough electricity is generated and stored to travel about 300 m in Power Mode.
Sony is exhibiting its latest digital imaging products, including a concept model of its new compact "α" DSLR camera system that packs the quality of a DSLR camera in an extraordinarily small body, along with interchangeable lenses will be exhibited for the first time in Japan at CP+2010 (Camera and Photo Imaging Show) in Yokohama, starting from on March 11 2010. In 2010, Sony will introduce the ultra-compact camera with interchangeable lenses that teams "any time, anywhere" convenience with DSLR picture quality. The concept model to be exhibited at CP+2010 features a newly-developed "Exmor" APS HD CMOS sensor and also supports HD video recording using the AVCHD format.
The new USB 3.0 SuperCrypt drive from Super Talent features outstanding performance and supports AES hardware encryption. Super Talent offers two AES encryption options, both of which include the STT encryption utility for password control: the SuperCrypt drive features 128-bit ECB encryption, while the SuperCrypt Pro features 256-bit XTS encryption for very robust security. Measuring 95 x 34 x 15.4 mm, the new SuperCrypt Drive requires no separate cable and is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, at USB 2.0 speeds.
They said it could never be done, but ASUS has managed the feat of lifelike 3D on a powerful gaming notebook—the Asus G51JX 3D. An uncompromising machine in its own right, this notebook deploys an Intel Core i7 CPU to power unmatched 3D gaming on a 15.6" screen using Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision, the first notebook in the world to do so. James Cameron's Avatar: The Game comes as a bonus with the 3D notebook.

Graphics cards are the frontier of PC gaming, and the Republic of Gamers goes where none have ventured before with the limited-edition of Asus ARES. A mothership of a graphics card,ARES possesses dual Radeon HD5870 GPUs and 4GB of GDDR5 RAM for 23% greater performance than a top-of-the-line Radeon HD5970. The oversized massive custom fan increases airflow by up to 600% compared to reference, yet ARES is decidedly quieter than reference. ARES is a limited production run, and units are sure to become a rarity.
Fuhjifilm today announced the launch of ForgeGuard- the world's first anti-counterfeit label which can be seen full-color images or text clearly with a special viewer. The newly introduced ForgeGuard taps into Fujifilm's technologies for proprietary functional material, precision processing, and image design. It is an anti-counterfeit label that regulates light wavelengths on the nano-optic level, so those with special viewers can see hidden full - color images. The use of a special viewer makes this label difficult to forge, as it effectively masks the type of anti-counterfeit technology applied.
