Nissan MOD driving assistance technology detects moving objects around the vehicle and alerts the driver to their presence
nissan_mov.jpg Nissan today announced its new Moving Object Detection (MOD) driving assistance technology, which is designed to detect moving objects around the vehicle and alert the driver to their presence. The conventional Around View Monitor system, with its user-friendly screen display, helps the driver steer the vehicle easily into a parking space. MOD uses both the screen display and an audio buzzer to notify the driver of moving objects in the vicinity of the vehicle - such as pedestrians -during parking procedures, when starting the car, or when driving at low speeds. This technology helps supplement the driver's vision in situations such as when leaving a parking space or when entering into a junction/intersection with poor right-and-left side visibility.

Tohoku University and Sony jointly develops the world’s first blue-violet ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser with 100 watt output
laser.jpg Professor Hiroyuki Yokoyama of Tohoku University and Sony have succeeded in jointly developing a blue-violet ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser with dramatically improved peak laser beam output levels that are 100 times that of the world's current highest levels. This newly-developed ultra high-output, ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser light source is capable of using a nonlinear optical process known as two-photon absorption, which occurs only as a result of high intensity optical pulses. When light from the laser beam is concentrated on the lens, it creates chemical and thermal changes in the vicinity of the lens focus spot which is narrower than even the diameter of the focus spot of the lens itself.
