The IEEE today announced that its Standards Board has ratified the IEEE 802.11n -2009 amendment, defining mechanisms that provide significantly improved data rates and ranges for wireless local area networks (WLANs). http://www.physorg.com/news172175364.html Technology Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:50:03 EST news172175364 (PhysOrg.com) -- Virtual WiFi will enable Windows 7 and future operating systems to see a single WLAN adapter as multiple WLAN adapters by the operating system. This feature is available in Windows 7 RC1, however because there are no hardware drivers to support this, the feature remains inactive. http://www.physorg.com/news161875105.html Technology Mon, 18 May 2009 14:19:01 EST news161875105 (PhysOrg.com) -- If you drive down the same roads every day, you probably know the patterns of familiar stop lights - how long they take to turn green, or when the green arrow will appear. For light-conscious drivers or anyone looking to save some fuel, Audi is developing a new device that lets you know when upcoming stop lights will turn green, and even calculates how fast you should drive in order to coast through them. http://www.physorg.com/news144038735.html Technology Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:45:34 EST news144038735 Nowadays we don't only take measurements with simple measuring devices, but also with whole measuring systems. These are very complex and are completely set up from their component parts at the point of use. Vehicle scales are an example of such a system. They weigh vehicles like trains, lorries or cars. http://www.physorg.com/news140862170.html Physics Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:22:50 EST news140862170 The ASUS P552w is the latest PDA phone that features, Glide innovative, touch responsive user interface that makes navigating on this mobile phone more intuitive and interactive than ever before. http://www.physorg.com/news140203432.html Electronics Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:23:52 EST news140203432 Lenovo today announced the availability of the IdeaPad U110 consumer notebook PC, the star of Lenovo`s IdeaPad entertainment and fashion-oriented notebook collection and winner of three Best-of-Show awards at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Select models of the notebook will be available in red and black on Lenovo`s website today. http://www.physorg.com/news128702448.html Electronics Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:40:48 EST news128702448 Apple iPhone and iPod (touch) support a new self-localization feature that uses known locations of wireless access points as well as the device's own ability to detect access points. Now ETH Zurich researchers have demonstrated that positions displayed by the devices using this system can be falsified, making the use of this self-localization system unsuitable in a number of security- and safety-critical applications. http://www.physorg.com/news127395991.html Technology Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:46:31 EST news127395991 Securing evidence at the scene of a crime, measuring faces for medical applications, taking samples during production - three-dimensional images are in demand everywhere. A handy cordless device now en-ables such images to be prepared rapidly anywhere. http://www.physorg.com/news126280837.html Technology Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:00:37 EST news126280837 Each year, over 40,000 people meet their end on Europe`s roads in car accidents. It is the equivalent of several small-scale wars. The biggest killer is head-on collisions, with 6,000 casualties annually. But now new car and road technology developed here could bring peace to Europe`s roads. http://www.physorg.com/news124637511.html Technology Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:31:51 EST news124637511 Motorola, Inc. today announced its AP-7131, the industry`s first tri-radio 802.11n access point (AP) featuring Motorola`s new adaptive AP architecture. The unique tri-radio design integrates three 802.11n radios that simultaneously support high-speed client access, mesh backhaul and dedicated dual-band intrusion protection for enabling the all-wireless enterprise. Using an expansion slot, the third radio can be field upgraded to enable next-generation 3G/4G technologies like WiMAX for primary or redundant WAN connectivity. http://www.physorg.com/news124551739.html Technology Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:42:19 EST news124551739 According to the communication theory, only a limited amount of data can be transmitted within a given bandwidth for wireless communication. Ever since these limits were revealed 60 years ago, we have been trying to reach the boundaries determined by physics as efficiently as possible. In light of the growing significance of cellular phone networks and WLAN connections, scientists are seeking new ways to transfer more data than ever before - after all, transmission capacities are in short supply and, therefore, a valuable commodity. http://www.physorg.com/news124538606.html Technology Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:03:26 EST news124538606 Cable clutter and interface problems will soon be a thing of the past. In the living room of the future, all devices are connected wirelessly and can be easily operated via the television set. Fraunhofer researchers and their partners will be presenting the first solutions at CeBIT in Hanover (Germany) on March 4 through 9. http://www.physorg.com/news123261514.html Technology Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:18:34 EST news123261514 European researchers are developing a range of novel technologies and end-to-end solutions for indoor and outdoor geo-location scenarios encountered by the likes of utility companies, emergency services and even taxi firms. This innovation offers a huge boost to the European market for location-based services. It's late on Saturday night. Hundreds of revellers empty out of the bars and restaurants in town and call for cabs to get home. But can the taxi firm meet such a sudden demand? http://www.physorg.com/news121696599.html Technology Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:36:39 EST news121696599 Wireless radio networks not only provide convenient access to the Internet; they also help pedestrians to reliably navigate through narrow city streets or buildings. Fraunhofer researchers and partners are currently demonstrating how this works in Nuremberg, where the first WLAN localization test environment was launched in January. The system will also be presented at CeBIT in Hanover on March 4 through 9. http://www.physorg.com/news121445857.html Technology Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:57:37 EST news121445857 Today Infineon Technologies announced it is shipping in volume the world`s first RF switches that are manufactured in a CMOS-based process on silicon wafers and offer the equivalent performance of RF switches manufactured in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) process technology - a technology break-through that has never before been achieved. So far, CMOS-based RF switches had to be manufactured on dedicated, much more expensive sapphire wafers to reach the performance of GaAs switches. http://www.physorg.com/news121357372.html Technology Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:22:52 EST news121357372
