A new version of the computerized tomography (CT) scan, which revolutionized medical imaging during the last 25 years, is giving scientists precious new information about how Mother Nature forms shells, bones, and other hard structures in animals ranging from guppies to mice. That information on "biomineralization" could form a knowledge base for understanding bone loss in humans and even snaring the Holy Grail of regenerative medicine - discovering how newts, starfish and other animals regrow amputated body parts. http://www.physorg.com/news141926812.html Chemistry Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:06:52 EST news141926812 (PhysOrg.com) -- For people fed up with their mobile telephone or iPod batteries running out, Japan's Toshiba Corp. announced Thursday the launch of a portable fuel-cell that can power up digital gadgets on the move. http://www.physorg.com/news175412573.html Technology Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:44:51 EST news175412573 Panasonic, the leading brand by which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is known, today unveiled its ultra-small low-power wireless module by incorporating a radio circuit and a microcomputer onto a single CMOS LSI chip, the world's first in 400-MHz band low-power wireless technology.

Soon he had filled his three-car garage with what others would consider obsolete junk. http://www.physorg.com/news95588872.html Technology Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:27:52 EST news95588872 TOKYO, JAPAN and CAMBRIDGE, UK - July 7, 2004 - Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. the world's second largest printing company, and ARM, today announced that Toppan has developed an IC card with high-speed cryptographic processing capabilities using ARM(R) SecurCore(TM) microprocessors. Toppan's IC card is ideal for SIM cards for mobile phones, and fits with government and corporate ID cards where supporting biometric authentication is essential. http://www.physorg.com/news333.html Technology Wed, 07 Jul 2004 08:55:58 EST news333 Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the R61505 controller/driver, providing QVGA (240 x 320-pixel) resolution screen drive and 260k-color display capability plus nonvolatile memory in a single chip, as a driver for amorphous TFT color liquid crystal display panels used in mobile phones. Sample shipments will begin in July 2005 in Japan. http://www.physorg.com/news4048.html Technology Tue, 10 May 2005 15:16:16 EST news4048 NEC Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) and its subsidiary in Europe, NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, announced the development of two new series of microcontrollers (MCUs), the µPD789863 and the µPD789864, designed to address a growing market demand for semiconductors to power smaller, more economical and higher-performance sensor applications. Further strengthening the company's 78K0S line of 8-bit single-chip MCUs, the two new series include on-chip features such as an amplifier, a constant voltage supply, analog circuits, temperature sensor and wireless sensor control support. By providing support for these features in hardware, the new MCUs eliminate the need for separate discrete components, resulting in a 20-percent reduction in the system price, as well as a 30-percent reduction in design footprint. http://www.physorg.com/news466.html Technology Fri, 23 Jul 2004 01:25:08 EST news466 Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the release of the SH7206, the first product incorporating the new SH-2A CPU core from the SuperH(TM) family of 32-bit RISC (reduced instruction set computer) microcomputers. The SH7206 incorporates large-capacity RAM and cache memory and a variety of on-chip peripheral functions, such as multifunction timer units for motor control. It is suitable for applications including industrial equipment, such as AC servos and inverters, office equipment, such as video printers, and consumer electronics products. Sample shipments will begin in September 2004 in Japan . http://www.physorg.com/news958.html Technology Thu, 26 Aug 2004 08:30:04 EST news958
