RAM prototype chip before Toshiba announced that they have successfully developed a low power consumption of mobile devices (not the picture those). 27% of its combination of the two called the bit line power calculator (BLPC) and digitized hold circuit controller (DCRC) the prototype wafer test results in temperatures of 25 degrees, the device is used when power-saving , while the standby power 85%. Can be so energy efficient because BLPC can more accurately predict in the active device to consume much electricity DCRC will update the standby time of the device in the size of the buffer memory drive. How long will it take to Toshiba did not predict this RAM technology required developers to complete, so the more there is no timetable for the listing.

See "Minority Report", we have thought about the same as the protagonist waved projection screen on the window you can control it? Although the second half has been better program, but do not have to officially put into operation in stages, can not think of the front stage waving control has become a reality, more surprising is the fastest at the end of the year you can use the related products! Yes, more than excited to speak, are devices worn on the arm of the above figure MYO. Developed by Thalmic Labs, it can take advantage of special sensors and six-axis detector, detecting hand muscles and brain wave transmission, so you can even shake fingers meticulous action immediately before execution sensitive to real-time via Bluetooth 4.0 execute the instruction, for example, allow the computer to play music, or the control of unmanned machines, while manipulating MYO would issue the vibration feedback. To achieve these functions in addition to the sensor, MYO, is also equipped with an ARM processor and a lithium battery. This device has been through Thalmic Labs Pre, before the end of days, they are not officially collect payment. In addition, the launch of MYO will release a dedicated API to allow developers to develop different applications. Friends who are interested, the orders before the first jump take a look at the video.
