Worlds largest DNA model at Konan University in Kobe: A 22.54-meter-high model of a DNA molecule built by Konan University has been recognized as the worlds largest by Guinness World Records. The model, completed in May last year, reproduces the double helical structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid. It is 1 billion times larger than an actual DNA molecule. A section of glass wall that spans the second to seventh floors of the school's Frontier Institute for Biomolecular Engineering Research building serves as the display case. The model is illuminated at night and can be seen from outside the university's Port Island campus in Chuo Ward.

ForgeGuard -World's first viewer-type anti-counterfeit label that supports full-color images: 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.

The world’s smallest pop-up hotel is due to land at several different locations in the heart of London from March 15-19 including London Zoo, Alexandra Palace and Covent Garden, the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich and the London Eye. For one week only, visitors to the capital will have the opportunity to wake up and enjoy exclusive views of the world’s most iconic skylines.; March 1, 2010 | Related Entries - Other Stuff
LG to recall 1.05 million Washing Machines after Child's Death in Korea: LG is to launch a campaign to prevent children from being locked in washing machines. The company's decision comes after a child was found dead in a front-loading washing machine in Daejeon, Korea on Sunday. Apparently, the child suffocated playing in the machine while his parents were away. Introduced to Korea in early 2001, front-loading washing machines make it easier for children to get inside. In 2008, two children got stuck in them and died because the door could not be opened from inside.

Kyocera develops World’s Fastest Thermal Printhead for Card Printers: Kyocera has successfully developed the new KLE Series thermal printhead for desktop card printers used to print onto rigid materials such as ID cards and credit cards. The new printhead is capable of 300-dpi, full-color, high-resolution printing at 50mm per second — the industry’s highest speed for this type of printhead. The new printhead employs Kyocera’s proprietary double partial glaze (DPG) structure in the real edge head. The DPG structure uses the convex shape of the heat-storage glaze layer to increase thermal efficiency for printing, thus achieving a speed about 1.5 times that of the company’s conventional real-edge printhead. This series also achieves a high-resolution print quality by using a split structure for the heater.

3-D Movies like Avatar can cause Eye Strain and Headaches especially to young viewers: A study at the University of California Berkeley found that 3-D movies can cause eye strain. Normally, when we look at things nearby, our eyes converge. They do the opposite when we look at things in the distance. Martin Banks, a professor of optometry at Berkeley, says 3-D doesn't allow our eyes to follow the rules because we're focusing on things both far and near at the same time. That's called vergence accommodation conflict. As per Martin Banks we have to concentrate our eyes to something near, but focus your eyes on something far. So we have to break that normal coupling between vergence and accommodation. This can lead to headaches and blurred vision.

Top Samsung and LG executives watch Avatar in an effort to evaluate the film’s 3D technology: Top executives from Samsung and LG have flocked to local theatres to watch Avatar in an effort to evaluate the film’s 3D technology and prepare for competition in the burgeoning 3D TV market. LG Group Chairman Koo Bon-moo, along with high ranking executives from the group’s affiliates, attended a screening in downtown Seoul last week. Yoon Boo-keun, head of Samsung’s TV division, also attended a screening of the film recently, saying afterwards that the 3D TV market is expected to grow faster than previously thought. Samsung has so far claimed the largest share of world’s overall TV market at over 20 percent in 2009, followed by LG with 10 percent. Samsung ranked top in the Korean market with an over 50 percent market share while LG took up 46 percent.

Toshiba breakthrough technology achieves low voltage operation of System LSI: Toshiba has developed a breakthrough technology that achieves low voltage operation of System LSI, opening the way to reduced power consumption in digital products. The technology secures successful operation of static random access memories (SRAM) at low voltage with an improved circuit design that optimizes voltage control of the bit line and word line. The new technology overcomes the high failure rate that has been the main challenge in achieving practical, low voltage SRAM, and reduces memory cell failure rate by four orders of magnitude at 0.7V. The circuit design can be applied to the memory compiler, software that automatically configures SRAM, contributing to shorter design lead times and bringing an effective solution to the LSI development process.

Sony Develops World's First Millimeter-wave Wireless Intra-Connection Technology for high speed wireless data transfer inside electronic products: Sony today announced the development of millimeter-wave wireless intra-connection technology that realizes high speed wireless data transfer inside electronic products such as television sets. By replacing physical circuitry in electronics products with high speed wireless connections, this new data transfer technology reduces the number of wired connections and minimizes IC use, to simplify the IC package and printed circuit board. Furthermore, because the data transfer occurs without contact, this enhances the reliability of movable and detachable parts within the product.This new wireless intra-connection system is based on millimeter-wave wireless data transfer technology.

Korean researchers for the first time extracted hematopoietic stem cells that could help treat leukemia from fatty tissue: Korean researchers have for the first time extracted hematopoietic stem cells that could help treat leukemia from fatty tissue. According to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Korea, the discovery was made by a research team led by Koh Gou-young, a biologist at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Leukemia affects hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Until now, it has been treated by bone marrow transplant from donors. The Korean success will open up possibility of extracting hematopoietic stem cells from a patient's own fatty tissue.; February 8, 2010 | Related Entries - Other Stuff

Kyocera custom-designed ceramic vacuum chambers Play Key Role in the Large Hadron Collider: Kyocera today announced that its custom-designed ceramic vacuum chambers are being used in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated by the European Organisation for Nuclear Physics (CERN) near Geneva. In the largest scientific experiment ever undertaken, protons fed into the LHC through Kyocera’s ceramic vacuum chambers quickly reach speeds of up to 299,792 km per second — just below the speed of light — in the world's largest particle accelerator. Kyocera was the only company in a position to meet CERN’s exacting specifications for the vacuum chambers.

STMicroelectronics launches World’s Most Integrated High-Performance Ultrasound Pulse Controller: The STHV748 provides four independent channels, each of which generates precisely controlled high-voltage pulses to drive piezoelectric crystals or other transducers. By integrating the transmit/receive switch, the STHV748 minimizes the number of external components required in applications such as stationary and portable ultrasound scanners, allowing further miniaturization and cost reduction. The ultrasound scanner works on the same principles as radar. A piezoelectric transducer emits a burst of ultrasound waves when stimulated by a high-voltage electrical signal and, in turn, generates a low-voltage electrical signal in response to the echoed reflections of ultrasound waves from, for example, soft body tissues. The role of the STHV748 is to provide the accurately timed high-voltage pulses that generate the ultrasound burst and switch to receive mode to detect the echoed signals.
