After the Japanese automaker Acura has published pictures of the concept NSX Coupe, car lurking in anticipation of the public version of the roadster. This car can come in the near future, given the fact that the Japanese have got hold of a patent for the design of this model.

But before that happens, we will enjoy the opportunity ahead of its design. So far, the unique roadster NSX will be managed by SHIELD Agent of sci-fi thriller "The Avengers" ("Avengers"). This car is nine millionth project, the first pictures of which have already appeared on the World Wide Web.

Koenigsegg Agera R could accelerate to 400 km / h

If you need more proof of how impressive the car is Koenigsegg Agera R, then - please! During the event, Gran Turismo, taking place at the famous Nürburgring, the car achieved an incredible speed: 401.6 km / h

According to an official statement "when the 1200-horsepower supercar sped past the pit lane, they were all incredibly impressed with his speed." Pilot Agera R used a straight section of track length of 3.5 kilometers in order to accelerate the car.

The owner of the vehicle, the Norwegian Bard Eker says, "there was absolutely no problem with the stability of the car, it was worth it just to overcome the mark of 350 km / h, but inhibition was felt all the roughness of the asphalt." Together with the Agera R took part in the event cars: Porsche GT3, Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo.

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.
