SanDisk, Sony and Nikon propose for standard high-speed memory card format with data transfer rates of up to 500 MB/sec!: SanDisk, Sony and Nikon today announced the joint development of a set of specifications that address the future requirements of professional photography and video markets. The three companies proposed the specifications to the CompactFlash Association, the international standards organization, with the intent to standardize the format. The proposed specifications achieve data transfer rates of up to 500 megabytes per second (MB/sec) (theoretical maximum interface speed) using the highly versatile PCI Express interface. The increased speeds will enable imaging and video applications that could not be accomplished using the current CompactFlash specification's Parallel ATA (PATA) interface. CF6.0, released in November 2010, offers maximum performance of up to 167MB/sec.The new specifications' faster speeds enable continuous burst shooting of massive RAW images.

Stem cells to repair damaged heart?: Korean researchers have successfully created heart muscle cells from induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells, which have the ability to become any cell in the human body, claiming a breakthrough in attempts to advance stem cell therapies. In their studies published in peer-review journals Cloning and Stem Cell and International Journal of Cardiology, scientists led by Jeju National University’s Park Se-phil said they successfully converted skin cells into IPS by injecting them with the embryonic stem cell genes of Oct4, Nanog, Sox2 and Lin28. The researchers then cultured heart muscle cells from their IPS samples, and verified the function of the cells through electrical-biological analysis, Park said.

STMicroelectronics Innovates True Single-Chip Motor Controller: High-performing motor drives for equipment such as security cameras, cash dispensers, ticketing machines, stage-lighting, printers and vending machines can now be realized more quickly, at lower cost and higher performances using a complete motor-control system on a chip perfected by STMicroelectronics. The 'digital SPIN', or dSPIN , combines all the necessary digital control, analog measurement, and power electronic circuitry for controlling stepper motors using ST’s advanced BCD fabrication process. It is the first device in ST's new dSPIN family of monolithic motor-control ICs that will bypass specialized hardware and software design tasks, reduce component count and pc-board area, and speed up time to market. Implementing the motor-control calculations in hardware simplifies software design by requiring only acceleration, deceleration, speed and target position commands from the application microcontroller. This frees microcontroller resources to support other differentiating features.
