UK defense firm pumps data through solid submarine walls

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 11:17 pm

Wireless power may still be on the drawing board, but wireless data is here today, and a UK defense contractor has figured out a way to pipe the latter through several inches of steel. Using a pair of piezoelectric transducers on either side of a watertight submarine compartment, BAE’s “Through Hull Data Link” sends and receives an acoustic wave capable of 15MHz data rates, enough to transmit video by essentially hammering ever-so-slightly on the walls. BAE impressed submarine commanders by streaming Das Boot right through their three-inch hulls, and while metadrama is obviously the killer app here, the company claims it will also save millions by replacing the worrisome wiring that’s physically routed via holes in a submarine’s frame. See the company’s full US patent application at our more coverage link.

BeBook Neo e-reader deemed solid, well designed, expensive

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 12:18 pm
Hey kids: Sick of e-readers yet? If not, the kids at trusted reviews just got their hands on what they consider one of the nicest thus far. This 6-inch display-sportin’ bad boy has some heft to it — the reviewers felt that at .66 pounds it might be too much e-reader for some people. Still, it seems well-built and designed for holding for long periods of time. All in all, it’s not earth-shattering, as much as “a well thought out refinement” of devices the reviewer has seen before. On the other hand, there is no finger input, MP3 playback is still not supported (an issue to be dealt with on a future firmware release, apparently), the much-ballyhooed Wacom pen notations, while nice, are only available on certain docs, and the UI (which relies on a jogwheel) is counter-intuitive, at first. So, it’s pretty damn nice… but is it £238.29 (about $350) nice? Hit the source link to decide for yourself.

AT&T’s Q1 results: earnings down thanks to one-time charge, NYC seeing ’solid improvements’

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 5:17 pm

AT&T’s first quarter results posted this morning look generally quite positive for the company — it saw its highest first-quarter net wireless adds in history (1.9 million) and both postpaid and total churn are at their lowest levels ever, suggesting that subscribers are happier with their service than they have been in recent months, the thought of tantalizing hardware is keeping them around, they’re too worn down to bother switching, or some combination of the above. Net income of $2.4 billion was down a bit year over year — $600 million, to be exact — thanks to a one-time charge related to some tax craziness that only accountants would fully comprehend, but had it not been for that, they’d be looking at having banked $3.5 billion. In other words, the numbers are looking good.

At least the financial numbers are looking good, but what about those dropped calls? AT&T claims that Manhattan — one of the hardest-hit areas in the country, if not the hardest — saw a 6 percent improvement in the first quarter, with the New York metro area improving 9 percent overall. The promised third carrier rollout is claimed to be well underway, and as proof of all this noise, AT&T helpfully provides a pair of graphs — graphs with no perceptible Y-axis units, mind you — showing bigger bars and higher lines in the first quarter than in last. Of course, we still don’t appreciate AT&T bringing its extensive WiFi network into the equation here; it’s still totally non sequitur to the matter at hand, as far as we’re concerned, since even the most extensive WiFi coverage is a drop in the bucket against WWAN footprint. Besides, if these guys can actually meet their proclaimed goal of offering both the fastest and the most reliable 3G data around, it’s a moot point, right?

SD memory cards are the new and successful addition to the media that will help to pave way for networked society of the future. The SD cards are small in size, user friendly and have powerful features to facilitate and provide ease to its users. These memory cards help to link different digital equipments because they are highly compatible. SD memory cards are also compatible with application formats of host and they do not need the use of personal computer. The compatibility and the interpretability of the SD card is very broad and therefore, the applications of the SD memory card are expected to further expand in the future. Due to ease of use and compatibility of the SD memory cards, they are now considered as the standard for the digital connectivity. Advancements are being made so that the SD card can give universal accessibility to multi media data of wider array. The size of the SD memory card is small and is approximately 24×32x2. 1mm.
The data can be easily transferred using the SD memory cards because of their slim size and the compact design. SD cards have the basic, important and powerful features of bridge media. Music and video clips can be played by SD card compatible device with the help of “decoder software” even without the drive mechanism. In this way the product designers have more freedom to be creative and therefore, more compact equipment can be made.
The other popular and smaller form of SD memory card is the miniSD card, its size is approximately 20 x 21. 5 x 1. 4 mm. The small size does not mean that the capacity will also be reduced. The SD cards have the recording capacity of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. Work is being done to further enhance its capacity. The SD cards have high data storage capacity so they are capable to store the high quality video that requires large capacity.
Demand has increased for high speed memory cards because of the increased digital contents and data volumes. SD memory card protects the data by the technology of copyright CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media). The CPRM protects the data from illegal copying and therefore, helps to distribution system of the commercial media and music as well. The CPRM technology was introduced and is licensed by the four companies Intel, Toshiba, IBM and Matsushita. This technology is enhanced in Secure Digital card by built in technology of key revocation.
After the detection of external device, the control circuitry of the SD memory card allows the reading and writing of the data within its protection area. There is a system of check out that allows three copies from PC to SD card in accordance with specification of SDMI. All the products of SD audio comply with the Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI). The authentication among the devices enabled the access to SD card. When exchange of information and mutual authentication takes place, each time a random number generates. These are the basic powerful features of the copy right technology of the SD cards.
