Eee PC 1000HE Loaded with Atom Processor

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Let us have a look at the the Eee PC 1000HE - the first mini laptops available to use the new N280 version of Intel's Atom processor. Like many other Netbooks, it has 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive and runs Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition. The difference is in the processor. It has the newer 1.66GHz N280 version of the Atom. The other notable feature of the Eee PC 1000HE is its keyboard - large, well-spaced keys almost as large as those on a standard keyboard. Asus has equipped the system with a standard array of ports. To the left is an Ethernet and USB port plus audio jack sockets, as well as a slot for a security cable. The right side has two further USB ports, a VGA output for an external monitor, and a slot for SD Card Flash storage. The system has 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless communications, but no option for a 3G modem for go-anywhere connectivity, as there is on some other netbooks. A 1.3-megapixel camera is fitted above the screen for web conferencing. **End Summary** Topics: Atom Processor]]> asus]]> laptops]]> keyboard]]> Asus]]> USB]]> camera]]> Net]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Visit Technostation for Detail For Relevant Products: Visit Technostation Mail to Author

Men and Machines

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Advanced Step In Innovative Mobility (Asimo) is one of a very few robots that can walk reliably on two legs. It is fitted with twin cameras in its head and is powered by 34 individual motors. Lately, researchers at the Honda Research Institute has demonstrated the invention by using it to move the arms and legs of an Asimo humanoid robot. Honda hopes that by 2020 the robot will be in the market, affordable and capable enough, to help with simple tasks. An elaborate electronic helmet will allow the wearer to control a robot by thought alone. The person wearing the helmet only have to think about making the movement. Its inventors hope that one day the mind-control technology will allow people to do things like turn air conditioning on or off and open their car boot without putting their shopping down. The helmet combines two different techniques for picking up activity in the brain. Sensors in the helmet detect electrical signals through the scalp in the same way as a standard electroencephalogram. The scientists combined this with another technique called near-infrared spectroscopy, which can be used to monitor changes in blood flow in the brain. **End Summary** Topics: Honda Research Institute]]> technology]]> Robot]]> Asimo humanoid]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Visit Technostation for Detail For Relevant Products: Visit Technostation Mail to Author

Journey to the Moon and Beyond

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

In March, the launch abort system - also known as the LAS pathfinder - for NASA's Orion crew exploration vehicle began a week-long journey across US to be delivered to White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, where it will help NASA prepare for the first abort system test, known as Pad Abort 1. The LAS pathfinder represents the size, outer shape and specific mass characteristics of Orion's abort system. This has created waves about Orion. Orion, as you know, will become Nasa's primary vehicle for human space exploration after the shuttle retires in 2010. It will carry astronauts to the International Space Station and eventually to the moon and beyond. The vehicle is scheduled to begin carrying humans to the International Space Station in 2015. For its return to Earth, Orion will be equipped with a system of parachutes and shock absorbers. Orion is making a big splash. A mock-up of the spacecraft that will carry the next generation of astronauts to the moon and beyond is traveling down the East Coast and undergoing tests to help NASA understand its performance in water. 'One feature is its high mobility,' writes Nasa on its website. **End Summary** Topics: LAS]]> NASA]]> system test]]> Orion abort system]]> shock absorber]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Visit Technostation for Detail For Relevant Products: Visit Technostation Mail to Author
