Mid Sweden University researchers set world record
When it comes to the density of connections on a chip, researchers in industrial electronics at Mid Sweden University hold the unofficial world record. Their new technique makes it possible to connect chips to an underlying substrate, such as a circuit board, with a density of 80,000 connections per square centimetre.
“No one has ever managed to make so many connections, and we exceed the projected demands of industry by a wide margin. In ten years’ time the requirements will be 15,000 conne
EU project ePerSpace – Home Networks for personalised services
The new EU project ePerSpace will integrate all your home devices and your network connections to give you the services you want, in the way you want, on the device you want – “personalised”.
The challenge is to provide communication services tailored to people’s particular individual needs seamlessly over a multitude of devices in the home and to reflect your preferences as much as possible when you are outside the home.
The average European home contains an increasing number
Virtual design reality for Europe’s construction industry
The large number of parties that must collaborate on construction projects presents difficulties in communicating building design information, but DIVERCITY’s design-simulation software utilising virtual reality technology promises significant cost reductions to Europe’s construction industry.
Construction has become an information-intensive industry, with the excessive number of documents during construction projects resulting in processing errors when data is not properly manage
Volkswagen Selects ILOG to Enable Custom Car Production in Spain
ILOG’s Optimization Adds Customization Options And Improves Production Efficiency
ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364), a leading supplier of enterprise-class software components and services, today announced that ILOG’s optimization software has been deployed by the Volkswagen (VW) Group of Spain allowing them to offer customers more customized products and optimize production planning. These new car sequencing and production planning systems have been impleme
NASA researchers customize "lab-on-a-chip" technology to help protect future space explorers and detect life forms on Mars
With a microscope and computer monitor, researchers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., watch fluorescent bacteria flow through tiny, fluid highways on a dime-sized lab on a chip.
Lab-on-a-chip technology allows chemical and biological processes — previously conducted on large pieces of laboratory equipment — to be performed on a small glass plate with fluid channels, known to scientists as microfluidic capillaries.
“We are studying how lab-on-a-chip
’Heads-up’ display lives up to its name
Student-designed device helps the visually impaired avoid hazards, day and night
Using a common laptop computer and a sophisticated head-mounted projection device, students at the University of Washington (UW) have created a system to help people with poor vision navigate around stationary objects.
The Wearable Low Vision Aid (WLVA) is the first portable device to draw attention to obstacles using an illuminated, vibrating crystal that projects a warning icon-a raster image
