NEC announced today the development of an interactive technology that allows the control of information through a combination of user gestures and the display of images from a projector. The newly-developed technology is controlled through the combination of a movable camera, which measures and recognizes three-dimensional shapes, and a compact image projector. In addition to enabling the gesture-based control of information between devices, without the use of an input device such as a remote control or mouse, images that facilitate input, such as a keyboard image, can be flexibly displayed in a wide range of locations. This results in natural interactions that are intuitive and allow users to easily see the effect of their actions.

Lenovo today announced two new additions to the ThinkServer family—the ThinkServer RD530 and RD630 rack servers. Available in either 1U (RD530) or 2U (RD630) configurations with tool-less rail kits for easy installation, Lenovo’s latest two-socket rack servers come equipped with choices of processors from the Intel Xeon E5-2600 product family. With up to eight cores per processor, the Intel processors achieve up to 30 percent greater CPU performance and more than twice the memory bandwidth compared to the current Lenovo server platform. Both servers feature up to 320GB of RAM deployable in 20 DIMM slots, hardware and advanced RAID (redundant array of independent disks) controller options and large memory capacity that provides full redundancy with up to eight (RD530) or 16 (RD630) hot-swappable hard drives.

Lenovo today announced the Lenovo ThinkStation E31, an entry-level workstation for professionals requiring a powerful desktop workstation within a PC budget. Offered as a mini-tower or small form factor (SFF). The dependable ThinkStation E31 tower and SFF feature the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family or 3rd Generation IntelCore i7 Processor so applications run fast and reliably. Users also benefit from the workstation’s Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory which virtually eliminates memory-related failures, as well as 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory DIMMs, for application responsiveness and the ability to multitask without slowing down. Both models offer professional graphics capabilities with the option of Intel HD Graphics P4000 or NVIDIA Quadro Graphic cards (up to the Q4000 in the tower model and Q600 in the SFF).

Nvidia today launched the third GPU based on its next-generation Kepler graphics architecture, the GeForce GTX 670, which brings dramatically improved levels of price-performance, power efficiency and whisper-quiet operation for PC gamers, starting at $399 USD. Engineered from the same DNA as the recently announced GTX 680 — Nvidias’s top-of-the-line, single-GPU — the GTX 670 packs a mean punch in its lithe 9.5-inch-long frame. It outpaces the closest competitive product in gaming performance by upwards of 45 percent, while consuming approximately 18 percent less power.

Fujitsu today announced the immediate release of iCAD V7L2, the latest version of iCAD V7, the company’s 3D CAD software for machinery design, with the world’s fastest CAD engine. Fujitsu iCAD V7L2 cuts both the amount of data that it works with and required memory to roughly double the processing performance of the 3D CAD engine. This accelerates operational speed on a wide variety of design studies and verifications, even on massive datasets representing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of parts, and enables integration of a massive amount of design data. It also includes newly developed security technology to prevent the copying or output of data, reducing the risk of leaks when transnational design teams collaborate. This means that design data that had previously been sent only on paper or verbally or intentionally not sent at all out of security concerns, can now be shared securely.
