British engineers have created a military uniform of the future

Equipment of the modern soldier in many countries around the world include electronic devices, significantly increase the combat capabilities of troops. For some units it became customary to use high-power communications systems and communications, satellite navigation, night vision devices and so on. However, numerous wires and batteries pose any inconvenience. However, soon they will go back in time - they will replace uniforms woven with conductive fibers.

Back in 2009 the company's specialists Intelligent Textiles think about what the various devices and sensors reduce the mobility of a soldier, and together with wires and batteries pose an additional burden.

The new uniforms with integrated conductive fibers designed to solve this problem. Designed by British engineers, the prototype has a power source and is a kind of local area network that can connect various devices. If now for each device requires its own battery, then through the fabric of the new form can be connected to one power supply as many devices.

Conductive fibers woven into the fabric itself, is designed to reduce not only physical but also mental strain on troops. Previously, cable failure often resulted in the inability to use the device to complete the operation, and in embodied a new form of the concept of forward signal on alternative routes.

"The problem of conventional cable is the wire that the gap is becoming a catastrophe. Anticipating this, we embedded conductive fibers in excess, and if the tissue is damaged or broken, you can always redirect the signal," - BBC reports the words Thompson Asha (Asha Thompson), Chapter of Intelligent Textiles.

The conductive fibers may carry not only electric current but also to transmit data. Clothing made from specialized tissue might eventually become "worn by a computer." Now experts are working on Intelligent Textiles in the creation of a flexible fabric keyboard.

Testing of the prototype is scheduled for completion in May. By the end of 2012 form may appear "in service" soldiers of the Royal Air Force (RAF). And for years 2014-2015 to obtain the mass distribution.

The first flights are flying cars in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has successfully conducted test flights of the flying car. This hybrid of helicopter and three-wheeled motorcycle called PAL-V, which stands as a personal land and air transport.

In order to get off the ground, the machine is required of all playground 165 meters in length. The device takes off, straightening vanes, which are located on the roof. If ground motion is a device composed. And in the air and on land, car develops about the same speed - about 180 kilometers chas.Takim, the flying machine offers exceptional freedom of movement and mobility.

Robert Dingemanse, one of the creators of the PAL-V: «If you want to fly over the mountains, you can afford it, and then get to the other end and back, or fly over the water or, of course, jam. Now everything is possible. "

According to the company, the machine produces less noise than a helicopter, flies up and down at low speed and can not die. In addition, easy to operate and is one of the safest modes of air transport.

True to control such a vehicle need a pilot's license, for which the required 20-30 hours of flight training. The company expects that the new product will be in demand for emergency services representatives.

Robert Dingemanse, one of the creators of the PAL-V: «Some of our customers as individuals, as well as the police, and the flying doctors, for example. Well, the doctor can fly very, very simple. It can also go on the road - so his work would be much more effective. "

According to the company PAL-V, in the development attended the Netherlands National Aerospace Laboratory and the University of Delfta.Seychas company moves to the final phase of the development of a flying car and looking for investors.

The new iPad found problems with Wi-Fi

The new tablet iPad, in addition to overheating, have found another serious flaw. Now, Apple is carefully studying the complaints of some customers on a bad signal reception Wi-Fi, connectivity problems, slow speed, frequent disconnects, and the fact that "ayped" sometimes does not see coming wireless networks.

According to the blog 9to5mac.com, citing a source within the Support Services Apple Care, the plates are sent to a defect on the expertise of engineers and users to offer a replacement. While the problems have been found in models with only Wi-Fi, without the support of 4G-networks.

Complaints to the first drawback - the fact that the tablet strongly heated after prolonged use, - began to arrive on the day sales of the new iPad. According to the first owners' aypeda ", the device can become so hot that it can not handle.

The other new iPad getting a little warm, but not cause much discomfort. However, Apple does not recognize the problem, saying that the temperature of the iPad does not go beyond the norm.

"Flexible" technology could revolutionize the touchscreen

The company introduced the revolutionary technology of Atmel XSense, which will be equipped with smart phones, tablets, watches and other touch screen devices, bent almost any angle. According to a press release, while the company has a number of test samples with a diagonal of 3 to 11 inches. Series production of "bent" screens planned for the third quarter of this year.

In contrast to the capacitive technology, which built most of today's displays, sensors are placed on XSense flexible film on which metal layers are applied. According to the Atmel, with manufacturers able to produce XSense thinner and lighter devices without a frame around the perimeter of the screen.

The smartphone with a flexible display, manufactured by a proprietary process, this year also plans to launch Samsung. This company announced in October 2011. Previously, Samsung has already demonstrated a flexible OLED-displays are placed in a hard shell that kept them bent.

The mass production of flexible displays has begun LG. They are designed to "book readers" e-books. As promised the company, such screens can be bent at an angle of 40 degrees, without fear of damaging the panel. It is expected that the first bukridery with a new flexible display will appear in Europe in early April.

ATV Features and benefits

To date, ATV is a popular vehicle with which you can easily overcome even the most remote places. Many people today mistakenly believe that the ATV is nedavnishnim the time the invention, but in fact it is deeply misleading. In fact, the story presents us with an amazing fact - the first ATV was invented back in 1970. It was then that was the first attempt to cross, or rather, to make a hybrid car and a motorcycle. By the way it should be noted that nuance that a new invention almost immediately gained new fans and even fans. In principle, this fact is quite understandable, as the new vehicle has an excellent maneuverability, high maneuverability, it is quite easy and convenient operation, and most importantly, ATVs fuel spend very frugally.

Also, fans appreciate the high quality running the vehicle through which it can overcome even the places that will not pass through any other means of transport.

Samsung to invest $ 7 billion in the memory chip plant in China

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest producer of memory chips, plans to invest $ 7 billion in new plant chips in China. The company was forced to develop a lucrative Chinese market, but there were fears of technology leakage, which is why investment was postponed.

Samsung will initially invest $ 2.3 billion plant that will produce chips for smartphones, tablets and MP3-players. Over time, the company will increase the amount of investment.

Samsung said that the plant will be built to produce the required number of memory chips, helping to respond quickly to growing demand from customers and further strengthen competitiveness in the production of chips.

Samsung has received government approval to build a factory in the year. The expected launch of the plant will occur by the end of 2013.

Russia is building a nuclear engine for space

Formed center of innovation "Skolkovo", despite the criticism of many Russians, yet to bear fruit, Nala. I must say that these fruits are not yet tangible, but in the next few years, they are likely to become so. Thus, from the representatives of the nuclear units of the fund, it was reported that over the next five years they are going to create a nuclear engine, which can be used for space flights.

Creating a domestic nuclear engine at the moment remains one of the earliest stages, the stages of testing different types of nuclear fuel. Immediately after the experts choose the most suitable fuel, immediately start the construction of some of the nodes directly to the engine. In 2014, scientists plan to begin ground testing of a new installation, and all work must be completed even before 2017.

The Americans are developing nuclear drones

U.S. scientists are developing a project to create a new unmanned aircraft operating in the nuclear fuel. They will be able to fly over remote areas for several months without refueling.

The project is possible thanks to cooperation between the research center "Sandia National Laboratories" and the corporation "Northrop Grumman". Their goal is to increase the duration of the flights from several days to several months, and increased power for the equipment.

The research team concluded that the nuclear drones have greater potential than other aircraft. They require less financial costs by reducing the number of refills stations in remote areas.

But scientists are worried that society will not accept the idea of ​​using a potentially unsafe technology. The risk associated with the possible collapse of the aircraft, working on nuclear engines. In addition, new development may fall into the hands of terrorists.

NEC will equip future devices from Apple ultra-thin batteries

If your new iPad seems to you hard and thick it is - because of the increased battery life. Powerful hardware consumes a lot of electricity, it is clear, but the preponderance of the volume between the card and the battery has become a downright obscene. Is it time to show the battery in its place?

It is time to think of the Japanese NEC. Since 2005, the company is developing a so-called Organic radical battery (ORB), flexible batteries 0.3 mm thick. Made with the finest of the polymer film, she is charged for 30 seconds and has a moderately high energy density (1 mW-hour per square centimeter) ... but that its advantages are over. Battery capacity is 3 mA-hour - against the target of 1432 milliampere-hour at iPhone 4S. Such a vessel (and its loss during each cycle, additional charge) is sufficient for devices with low power consumption, but the device from Apple for those clearly not relevant.

And although the online International Business Times newspaper said that the chances to see the ORB-pack in the next iPhone are high, we tend to relate to these words with skepticism. Whether business - future devices, those that appear after a few years. It is gratifying if Apple is discussing with NEC prospects for joint work in this direction.

Google revealed the secret project "Project Glass"

Rumors that Google is working with augmented reality glasses have already appeared on the network. Today, the company decided to open a project that called "Project Glass". Unfortunately, instead of the real Google product showed us some pictures of the conceptual device. Most likely, the final version of the gadget will not claim a place in the fashion collection of designer accessories, as the company embarked on a completely different problem.

To show the possibilities of innovation points, Google has released a demo. Integration of service Google Maps, photography and support social networks seem quite plausible. Everything else so far outside the real world.

Environmental mega Island (EMotion by MCM Design Studio

In recent projects in the form of huge mega-yacht owned islands minds of many ship designers. Milena Tsviyanovich and Dennis Mueller of the MCM design studio developed the concept of yacht Island (E) Motion, which sets new standards of luxury, based on the use of environmentally friendly materials and environmentally friendly technologies in the world the world of yachts.

Designers expect that their yacht will produce 60% less carbon dioxide than conventional boats. Solar and wind will produce the bulk of the energy needed for daily activities on board the Island (E) Motion. In addition, the yacht will be equipped with a complex system of waste disposal and cleaning of water resources.

On board the Island (E) Motion is there is dining room for 24 people, lounges, bathrooms, luxury VIP-apartments, SPA-center, swimming pool, gym, massage room, a cinema, library, indoor and outdoor bars, a restaurant, night club and the hospital.

All furniture is made from recycled materials, and on the deck will be like a lawn with grass and palm trees, creating the atmosphere of this tropical island. Another feature of the yacht Island (E) Motion will be an advanced stabilization system, through which passengers will not feel the rolling in bad weather.

London 2012 - Competition in urban

The authors of the art agency The July 16 continue to explore the world of experience to create hybrid public spaces. At this time the pen is taken Elizabethan Park - the main new thing being prepared for the Olympics in London and part amazing mix of eco-park and open-air gallery.

On the eve of the Summer Olympic Games in London, architects and designers from around the world compete in the creativity and skill. Once the committee has announced that the upcoming Games will be held under the auspices of urbanization and the arts, designers have turned six months in the Olympic Village the largest urban park in Europe.

Taking a walk in the park you can not get to the stadium. How can you go past a giant sculpture of Anish Kapoor, and did not climb to the top of the 120-meter tower? Competitions can watch on TV, but to get on a modern Tower of Babel can not every day. According to one version, with the help of this facility sculptor conceived to reach the heavens, as in the myth of Babel. And if to reach heaven, it does not, then at least the record will be broken the Eiffel Tower.

Art objects, scattered over a wide pyatisotakrovoy the park, like the Sirens, who lured travelers with its singing. Installation is really flirting with the visitor, but the singing gave way to modern technology and computer programming. Thus, the bridge that connects the car park to the stadium, reacting to every step of the passer-by measuring its speed and pulse. And then shows how he moves slowly in comparison with a particular athlete - like teasing, "try and overtake!". Beat does not work, because the attention this time catches a giant plasma screen that comes up from the reservoir, broadcasting or film competition. But also be difficult: the side adjusts the 9-meter steel inscription «RUN».

And here is the first athlete with medals, though not with gold, and bronze: a series of nine branched trees are "dressed" in a bronze ring weighing half a ton each. Perhaps the first designers set out to reproduce the traditional composition of the five Olympic rings. But playing with symbolism, they hung on the trees as much as nine rings, giving new meaning to the installation, at each hoop is engraved in the history of one of nine local halls.

If visitors to the park area will be small, thoughtful designers offer to get ... in the heavens. "Sky Bridge" by design students Oscar Bauer and Nazareno creatinine has to go through all kinds of clouds, known inhabitants of London. Just a little bit, and the air bridge to actually take off and take the visitor to the top of Mount Olympus, the legendary Olympic athletes.

After going down the same down to earth you can finally get up to the Olympic stadiums. But how did they find? Instead of the usual circular structures around the amphitheater, a futuristic palaces, more like spaceships. Indeed, during the construction sites are not the architects focused on sports. For example, the star architect Water Stadium - Zaha Hadid - curved roof of the building, giving it the shape of the wave is gathering pace.

If art objects lodged in the park on a regular basis, the sports stadiums in their most majestic form can be seen only during the games. Most of the buildings will be dismantled and sold abroad, while others will undergo renovation. Without a stadium full life heal Park Eco-Zone, designed for relaxation. A holiday here will be royalty - "Elizabethan Park" was a gift to the pearl anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II, which she celebrated recently.

Renault is developing a car, driving is not needed right

Renault has announced that next year will release a vehicle that can be operated with 16 years of age, and thus will not require a driver's license. While the new product under the name Twizy known not so much, yet now it can be interested. And not just teenagers.

The fact is that the Renault Twizy has a small capacity, which may allow it to be attributed to the class, which includes ATVs. This means that European teens passing courses will be able to reach the 16-year milestone to control the vehicle. Moreover, it is easy to use novelty as a city car. It has an electric motor, and the interior is designed for two people. The problem is that at the time of its weight is 450 pounds and can accelerate to 50 miles per hour. In order to get into the class of ATVs requires that the weight does not exceed 350 kilograms and a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour. Prior to release a lot of time and Renault specialists may be able to reach this benchmark due to processing power unit and reduce the size of the battery. As for prices, they can differ from country to country, so let's talk about them closer to the release Twizy.

Train Wreck: the bike in the style of classic steam locomotive

Modern design tools enable artists to present anything does not deny the implementation of creative tricks. There are countless ways to express themselves even in the market of technical products. It can be mobile phones, mobile computers or vehicles. For example, motorcycles like the concept bike called Train Wreck.
Train Wreck

As stated by the author of the concept Higgins Colby (Colby Higgins), for this work was inspired several sources. He always liked the old-fashioned mechanics. Yes, today many of the design solutions are no longer used because they were superseded by electronic technology and electronic controls. In the case of motorcycle design Train Wreck Colby expressed a kind of creative protest, refusing to modern design solutions.
Train Wreck

As you can see, the look of the bike is inspired by classic steam locomotives, it emphasizes his deliberate retro character. The overall design concept defines only a couple of cylinders, it is assumed that such a decision makes Train Wreck as simple and efficient means of transport. But even here on the aerodynamics of the question, I suppose, this stylish bike engine is not designed for racing at exorbitant rates.

Rumors: Sony will release the PlayStation 4 before Xbox 720

Earlier we wrote about the recent rumors of a new gaming console Xbox. Now it's time to talk about the latest information on the new console Sony PlayStation 4. Blog VG247 reports, citing a source nenazvany that Sony will release PS4 before Xbox 720.

Apple is considering to move to OLED-displays

As the developer of the most popular devices in the world, Apple with almost nothing to produce. We will say more - even those components that kupertinovtsam produced on its own, quietly given to a third party. Authoritative IHS iSuppli - like that paradox - not found in the new iPad a single component from Apple. Even the battery, which all of the past year, regularly produced a Japanese branch of the company - even now she is engaged in Samsung!

True, such an approach as any other, there are two sides of the coin. Do not make - so you can not take direct part in the improvement of technology. Apple likes to high-quality displays - but the responsibility for the quality of the notorious trio is Samsung-Sharp-LG. More players - more difficulties on the way to the consumer. Apple displays are very productive, alone - and who knows, maybe the transition from liquid crystals to organic would long ago have occurred?

Not happening - because Apple does not want to buy OLED-matrix with Samsung. The reason for this are the low production volumes and some "technological problems". But, according to sources, the English-language The Korea Times, the situation is encouraging. Say, Samsung (now Samsung Display) dealt with the volume and now can produce the required number of matrices. Let's see what it says on the Apple ...

Experience of using AR.Drone Parrot

Once the blade touched my iHelicopter'a corner cabinet, a helicopter appeared roll. The toy was virtually useless because of the disruption in the balance transmission mechanism from the motor to the screw.

I was looking for something more stable in flight. Also AR.Drone Parrot other alternatives were not.

AR.Drone Parrot - quadrocopter is controlled with the help of iPhone / iPad. For the first time the novelty appeared at CES 2010 and has since gained a huge following around the world. Craftsmen Self-tuning their instruments, conducting tournaments, the number of home-made modifications exceeded one hundred.

What is so interesting to gadzhetomanov AR.Drone Parrot lovers and remote toys?

First, the helicopter is running Linux OS, which allows the company to a producer Parrot release updated firmware to be loaded into the machine through the native application Free Flight [Free, iTunes link].

Second, enthusiasts produce their images, and software, resulting in the App Store there are plenty of software for the AR.Drone. When bored with the standard set of flight options, you can download the add-on and make a toy manufacture in the air, these pretzels that friends pootvalivayutsya jaw.

More - more. Connoisseurs of augmented reality can create their own worlds where AR.Drone will act as the main character of some arcade games - such as spacecraft. This will require the application AR.Rescue [Free, iTunes link]

Thirdly, AR.Drone difficult to "kill". In the standard a foam cover, which takes any of the pulses from collisions with the environment. In addition, the virtual console has a push button helicopter landing. Harvest - and he gently sits down on the ground. The same thing happens when the signal is lost.

At present my model of a bug: the car suddenly began to spontaneously rise to a height of 10 floors, then lost the signal. In this case, breakdowns fallback landing on the roofs of parked cars in the yard. Bug disappeared after firmware update

Fourthly, the synchronization between the machine and iOS-gadget is through a local Wi-Fi network, which AR.Drone «raises" itself.

Fifthly, AR.Drone has two cameras (vertical and horizontal). This opens up great prospects for the observation above. The video stream is transmitted directly to the phone's screen or tablet.

Before you start, the battery must be recharged AR.Drone for about 90 minutes. That's enough for a continuous 15-minute flight.

What they want to see the new iMac

Desktop computer "all in one" from Apple this year, waiting for a change. At least this is safe to say some Western sources. Knowing how they are poking a finger into the sky, often referred to inside information, specifications, as contained by them, can be attributed more to the category of speculation, rather than to significant facts.

Thus, it is reported that the company G-Tech will be responsible for the delivery of an anti-glare screens for the iMac.

     As expected, G-Tech will supply AR glass for PC Apple "all-in-one" (AIO) for the updated product.
