A pharmacy in a nanotechnology-based thin film: MIT researchers have developed a new implantable device to improve our health. This nanoscale thin-film coating can deliver controlled drug doses to specific targets, acting as a 'micro pharmacy' inside our bodies. It could be used to deliver drugs for cancer, epilepsy, diabetes and other diseases. This film, which is...; Tags: Film, Researcher, Substrate, Voltage, Drug, Nanotechnology, Real Estate, Semiconductors, Emerging Technologies, Business Operations, Hardware, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-02-13
Patent app points to touchscreen BlackBerry: A new BlackBerry Patent application published this morning strongly points to a touchscreen BlackBerry- similar to the touchscreen iPhone. It's also important to note that although most BlackBerry Patent applications are only published 18 months after they are filed, this one has only a four-month gap. These...; Tags: Touch Screen, Disclosure, Electrode, Voltage, RIM BlackBerry, LCD, Patent Abstract, Touchscreen Liquid-crystal Display, Pixel Element, Telecom & Utilities, Russell Shaw; Blog posts 2008-02-07

Resistor Colour Code Solver (zip): Resistor Colour Code Solver is a little program that can calculate the value of a resistor from its colour code and vice-versa. It supports 4-band and 5-band coding schemes. Also it has a small Ohms Law calculator which can calculate two parameters from power, voltage, current & resistance if the...; Tags: Voltage, Resistor Colour Code Solver; Software downloads 2008-01-25
Self-powered nanowires: Many research teams around the world are building nanodevices of some kind. But these very small devices need very small sources of power to be fully functional. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC have shown that a single nanowire can produce power by harvesting mechanical energy...; Tags: Researcher, Voltage, Yu, Voltage Generation, Team Management, Nanotechnology, Management, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-09-29

Flying robots made from cellophane?: Researchers have discovered that ordinary cellulose is a piezoelectric and smart material that can flap when exposed to an electric field. ScienceNOW reports that electricity can give life to cellophane. When you put a very thin layer of gold on each side of cellophane, and that you apply electric current...; Tags: paper, EAPap Actuator; Blog posts 2006-07-02
A Novel Low Supply voltage VCO for IEEE 802.11a W-LAN: This paper presents a 1-V low supply voltage CMOS VCO; it not only can increase the turning range of the VCO but also can decrease the phase noise. The proposed VCO achieves a phase noise of -116.73 dBc / Hz at the offset frequency of 1 MHz, respectively. The tuning...; Tags: IEEE 802.11, Voltage, IEEE, CMOS VCO, Wireless LANs, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers 2006-03-23
PSP Hacks: Make a Battery Pack for Your PSP: The transformer in the PSP's AC/DC converter adjusts the regular household voltage down to a whopping five volts, which trickles slowly into the PSP, charging the internal, Sony-supplied battery. Why don't they beef up this voltage into the machine so that the charging goes faster, the user asks? Well, mini...; Tags: Battery, Voltage, Sony PlayStation Portable, Game Players, Engineering, Consumer Electronics, Personal Technology; Book chapters 2006-01-23
Electric power from cows?: Using cow waste to produce electricity has been done before, for example by using the methane released by this waste to power farm machinery. But now, researchers from Ohio State University OSU have found new ways to turn cow waste into elctricity. First, using a half-liter of fluid from the...; Tags: microorganism; Blog posts 2005-09-03
BatteryDA (zip): This is a Desk Accessory to show battery charge levels dynamically. BatteryDA requires a DA-Launcher.

Micron claims low-power server memory lead with two new modules: I think I've reported this number before, but I keep forgetting it. Anyway, there is a statistic suggesting that memory components eat up something like 15 percent of the power consumed in data centers. Not an insignificant amount, which is one reason Micron continues to focus on lower voltage as...; Tags: Micron Technology Inc., Module, Memory, Data Centers, Servers, Storage, Hardware, Data Management, Heather Clancy; Blog posts 2008-05-08
