SIG Glasses

By using a special glass besides the goggles to protect you from UV rays also acts like a solar cell (solar cell) that will absorb and convert solar energy into electricity. 


Designed by Hyun-Joong Kim and Kwang-Seok Jeong, the back of the framework of glasses have been provided cable for charging gadgets. 

Still according to them, material / material used is also environmentally friendly. 

Hopefully this lens will be realized considering we often use the sunglasses while driving.

Printer

  Printer forms Picnic Bag

Canon Selphy CP 760 & 770

Gadget manufacturers are many ways to attract customers. One of them is Canon. Through its new product and 760 Selphy CP 770, Canon seems to want to change the design of the printer main streem in general, with new colors for the bag shaped like a picnic. Complete with a handle grip, making this printer can be carried anywhere.

By carrying taq-compact photo printer line, both CP 760 and CP 770 is claimed to have the ability to print the image sharp and dengankualitas has amazing endurance. Both these printers accidentally put Portrait Image Optimizer technology and Dye-Sublimation high resolution. So every image is printed there is a special laminate that fingerprints or dirt stuck photographs
 

Woosim, Printer  waterproof

 Unique printer manufactured Woosim can only print the tickets from the media 3-inch roll paper. It is interesting to a Bluetooth printer is covered with orange armor burning like life jackets. Maybe it had something to do with the features it has antiair. Not rated price tag.

Nothing remarkable feature comes from the printer, but it was adorable and unique design because if the printer is not in use we can put into this case as a case-bucket. Printer is available on November 1 in Japan. 

Audi Calamaro Flying Concept Car

   Audi Calamaro Flying Concept Car


 

We’ve seen Audi taking off in sales over the past few years, flying low with bullets like the RS4, RS6 and R8 and staying afloat in times of hardship. Soon we might see the company taking these metaphors literally if this Calamaro Concept is any indication. Like its name which sounds like an intimate meeting between Camaro and calamari, the Calamaro seems to combine a car, plane, and something of aquatic abilities.

Developed by Tibor for a design competition which was organised by Porsche Hungary, the Calamaro concept’s shape was “inspired by the bone of the cuttlefish” which is clear to be seen. Interesting to look at, but one must wonder how it will be powered, where/ how it will park and drive/ fly/ float.

Jet-Man

A tiny black cross no bigger than a gull appeared in the skies above Dover just before a quarter past one yesterday afternoon. Five minutes later a 49-year-old Swiss man, strapped to what looked like a streamlined ironing board, parachuted gently through the air and into the history books. 

By the time he came to rest on the brow of a hill at 19 minutes past one, Yves Rossy had become the first person to cross the Channel on a jet-powered wing. He gathered up his canopy, and stood silhouetted against the blue sky as a stunt plane swooped low in acknowledgment and journalists and camera crews stampeded towards him. For a man who had just fulfilled a lifetime's ambition, Rossy was remarkably calm.

"It was perfect, just perfect," he said of the flight which had begun in the skies over Calais and ended 13 minutes later atop the white cliffs. "I'm still in a dream." He even went easy on the champagne that his crew drenched him in. After a modest swig, he looked down at his sodden flight suit and remarked: "It looks like I've been in the water." 

The bubbly was the closest that the airline pilot came to the cold waves of the Channel. Yesterday's conditions could not have been better for the self-styled FusionMan and from the moment he flung himself out of a plane 2,500 metres (8,200ft) above Calais and fired up the four jet turbines on his carbon fibre wing, almost everything proceeded like Swiss clockwork. "It was as I wanted it and as the team wanted it," he said. "I was really living it in the present but it was like a dream." 

On Thursday it looked as though the world would have to wait a little longer to see Rossy follow in the vapour trails of Frenchman Louis BlĂ©riot, who became the first man to fly a plane across the channel 99 years ago. Dark skies and a distinct sense of foreboding led FusionMan to postpone the flight that day. Or, as he idiosyncratically put it: "I have only one life and I don't want to lose it. I follow the little bees in my body, which are saying no." 

Yesterday, though, the bees said yes and Rossy experienced something he found rather hard to define. Flying with nothing more than his body to steer with was, he said, "different, overwhelming. It was really like being in a second world, not really here, it was a mix of reality and dreams. I was flying with a wing just by turning my head. Over the channel, everything was new. I am from the mountains and it was almost mystic, like being in a parallel world." 

But despite the months of planning, the hundreds of thousands of euros spent on the wing's development and the obedient weather yesterday, there was still no accounting for the human factor. Exactly how long had the flight taken him? Rossy could not be sure. Much, presumably, to the annoyance of his sponsors - a firm of Swiss watchmakers - FusionMan had got a little too caught up in the moment to hit the start button on his stopwatch. "I did realise after the first minute: 'Oh shit! I forgot!'" That brief moment of panic, he said, was the closest he had come to anxiety. There had not been any fear at all as he rocketed through the skies at 150mph.

"Not one minute. Tension, yes, but no fear. The day you feel fear, you won't go." Or, as he remarked again: "If you have bees in the body, don't go." 

As befits a man who flies Airbuses for a living, though, he was adamant that the wing would never be used as a means of public transport. "We have very good airplanes with service and champagne. We don't have flight attendants on this flight," he pointed out.
Plan B

Stephane Rousson plans a rather more sedate crossing, in the other direction. On the Kent coast at Hythe the 39-year-old from Nice is waiting for the wind to drop so he can try for the first ever pedal-powered Channel crossing in a blimp.

With bicycle-powered propellers slung beneath a helium balloon, the Frenchman's craft, Mademoiselle Louise, looks like one of Hanna-Barbera's "Wacky Racers". If all goes to plan it will float 100ft (more than 30 metres) above the waves at an average speed of 8mph on the five-hour journey to northern France. 

All that stops Rousson's "zeppy" from floating off is an anchor beneath. If that fails there's a dagger - for puncturing the balloon - on the pilot's seat.

Rousson calls his trip "both totally unnecessary and a very eloquent statement on human nature". He says he was inspired by Elliot's flying bike in the film ET, and Gossamer Albatross, the first pedal-powered plane to cross the Channel in 1977. He has exchanged cordial good luck letters with FusionMan.

The blimp is, at the moment, in a garage beside the Hotel Imperial where golfers and wedding parties come and go as Rousson bides his time. With luck, the launch could be tomorrow. But even a light wind will rule out a crossing. 

The project has consumed the past five years of his life, costing him his relationship, he says, with his girlfriend, Louise, whose name adorns the airship. But he says "there is nothing like the pleasure of flying". And the next challenge? A crossing of the Atlantic in a tandem blimp.

WEBCAM







 Webcams (short for web camera) is a term for real-time camera (meaning the current situation as well) whose image can be accessed or viewed via the World Wide Web, instant messaging programs, or video call applications. The term "webcam" also refers to the type of camera used for this purpose. 

There are various kinds of webcam brands, including Logitech, SunFlowwer, and so on. Webcams usually resolution of 352x288 / 640x480 pixels. There are Namunm quality up to 1 Megapixel.

 Webcam or web camera is a small digital video camera connected to a computer through a (usually) a USB port or COM port.

The term refers to the webcam technology in general, so that the web is sometimes replaced with other words that describe the scene shown on camera, for example, which shows StreetCam street scene. There is also Metrocam showing panoramic views of the city and countryside, TraffiCam used to monitor road conditions, weather with Weather Cam, even a state with VolcanoCam volcanoes. 

A simple web camera consists of a standard lens, mounted on a circuit board to capture an image signal; casing (cover), including the front casing and the casing side to cover a standard lens and the lens has a hole in the front casing that allows you to insert an image; support cables, made of flexible material, one end connected to the circuit board and another end has a connector, this cable is controlled to adjust the height, direction and perspective web camera. 

A web camera is usually equipped with the software, this software takes the images from a digital camera is continuously or within a certain time interval and broadcast it via an internet connection. 

There are several methods of broadcasting, the most common method is to modify the software in the form of images into JPEG files and upload to the web server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
 Frame rate indicates the number of images can take a piece of software and transfer in one second. For streaming video, it takes a minimum of 15 frames per second (fps) or ideally 30 fps. To obtain a high frame rate, required a high internet connection speed. 

A web camera is not necessarily connected to the computer, there is a web camera webcam software and web server bulit-in, so that it takes is an internet connection. Web camera like this is called "network cameras". We can also avoid the use of cables by using a radio connection, Ethernet connection or WiFi. 

The use of web camera including video conferencing, internet dating, video messaging, home monitoring, sharing images, video interviews, video phone-call, and many other things.
Web camera features and settings vary, including: 

Motion sensing - web camera will take pictures when the camera detects motion. 
Image archiving - users can create an archive that stores all the images from web camera, or just certain images as pre-set intervals. 
Video messaging - some messaging programs support this feature. 
Advanced connections - connect your home theater to a web camera with a cable or wireless. 
Automotion - robotic camera that allows taking pictures in a pan or tilt and extracting the program settings according to the camera position. 
Streaming media - professional applications, web camera setup can use MPEG4 compression for streaming audio and real video. 
Custom coding - import a user's computer code to tell the web camera what to do (eg automatically refresh). 
AutoCam - lets users create a web page for cameranya free web server web camera manufacturer. 
As more and more use of the web camera in the world, aggregator web site appears. This web site allows users to find live video streams based on location or other criteria.

 Another problem is a program called 'Trojan Horse', this program allows hackers to activate the web camera without the knowledge of the camera user. So that hackers can capture live video from the camera user. For overcoming it, the camera-equipped camera lens cover or LED lights that will light up if the camera is switched on. 

Web cameras can cause social problems. Ease of access to live video streams allows rampant illegal pornography or child pornography. Pedophiles can easily relate to the victim without the consent of the victim's parents. The Internet allows sexual transactions with controls almost nothing.

According to research conducted in America that aired on Oprah Winfrey Show, the biggest dream of the pedophiles is that they can be present in the middle of the kids, and web camera technology to realize the dream. Since the web camera not only allows people to meet each other but also allows people to show parts of their bodies. Children who have a high knowledge level will be very vulnerable to this.

Japanese Scientists Demonstrate Hologram What You Touched


   

wow really great Japanese invention .... This time they create a hologram that can cool touch.


experts in Japan recently. The reason the scientists at the University of Tokyo has developed a holographic projector that can render the actual 3-dimensional objects. This system consists of a holographic display device, track 2 Wii remote and an ultrasound unit feedback.

Takayuki Hoshi A researcher explained in the abstract, that the appearance of floating on air ever seen in fiction films of recent decades. Recently, it attracted much attention as a promising technology in the field of digitization and television world, and many types of holographic display that was intended and developed today. In addition, virtual objects that appear in the form of hologram is an extraordinary experience that there may be a desire to reach or even touch the virtual object is to feel the sensation of touch of the hand directly.

Rests of desire, Hoshi also confirmed that his team have successfully added features feeback to view image in 3D free space. Although the sensation is needed contact with natural objects, the existence of air pressure stimulator d holographic image display. Therefore, some kind of remote control is required sensation. It provides a look look like the original. This phenomenom using nonlinear ultrasound (acoustic radiation pressure). When an object into the propagation of ultrasound, a pressing pressure of the object's surface.

According to Hoshi itself, this system can direfresh based on digital data and can be used in video games, 3D CAD and other similar applications.

 below are examples of technological developments holographic image:
