Again new rumors surfaced that Sony is trying to push new camera system equipped with such kind of sensor in to the market.

According to the rumors surfaced the camera will be in your hands in the end of 2014 else in the early months of 2015. The sensor could have more that 24 pixels resolutions hence it can achieve more significantly sharper images hence it will be more sharper then the color images we guess.

Apart from the details the website didn’t furnish any details. The omission of the color filter actually helps the sensor to work with gray scale sensor so that the light fall on it will not me hindered by any filters and hence the overall sharpness will increase.

 And this could increase the overall result with higher light sensitivity and better sharpness. The idea and its realization is not new and Leica has the M Monochrome since mid-2012 a system camera with such a sensor in the program.

The Leica M Monochrome costs 6,800 Euros without a lens and a resolution of 18 megapixels. Before the sensor is located an infrared filter for filtering the non-visible spectrum above 700 nm is used, but it is a no low-pass filter and some features like an auto focus missing there in Leica.

There are so many other models and brands are available for example Red Epic-M Monochrome is loaded with 14 mega pixels resolution which costs around 25,000$

Recharge Your Smartphone in 30 Seconds with Quantum Dots!

An Israeli startup unveils a new generation of battery -based organic nanoparticles with quantum properties. Video demo of a new generation of battery manufactured by the company StoreDot is the buzz on the web. It shows that a Smartphone can be recharged in 30 seconds of time duration. If you consider today’s recharging time of several hours to reach a full charge, this is a boon to a Smartphone user.

However, you cannot expect to fit your phone tomorrow with this new technology, which will not be sold within 3 years. At this point, the video depicts a prototype, too bulky to attach to the inside of the Smartphone. It remains that this new technology could be promising. This is at least what seems to think Samsung, which is currently in talks with the start -up.

Made from compounds of semi conductors, these "quantum dots" manage to confine electrons and holes (electrons location having been previously dislodged) in a confined space in three dimensions, of the order of several tens of nanometers. This assembly is sometimes having their name “artificial atoms “. Their optical and electronic properties are already used in many applications like transistor, LED, medical imaging, solar energy production and many more.

Usually, the quantum dots are synthesized from inorganic materials often based on the elements like arsenic, gallium and selenium. Now StoreDot offers for the first time to use peptides - these organic molecules formed as amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. According to Gil Rosenman, director of research belongs to StoreDot; these peptides spontaneously assemble to form quantum dots under certain conditions.

And those peptides can behave as semiconductors. The advantage of peptide chains is that they are easy and inexpensive to synthesize. Moreover, these quantum dots are made "from amino acid naturally produced by plants and animals, they should therefore not be too harmful to the environment. These are unlike to that of most inorganic quantum dots, especially those made from heavy metals.

This is a remarkable discovery, they add, as well as large organic molecules conduct electricity is well known but nobody had considered that biological peptides can behave as semiconductors. According StoreDot, new batteries boosted biological Nanoparticles could take five days to drain instead of one day for a conventional batteries.

And 7 minutes of charge is sufficient to use your Smartphone for 24 hours. Besides, according to Gil Rosenman, the life of the battery would be significantly extended. This is due to their crystalline form, quantum dots could remain for thousands of charge cycles it seems.

Alcatel One Touch, we believe reasonably come to market the first products in the second quarter of 2015. They are able to equip Smartphones and tablets with screens from 4 to 13 inches. Alcatel One Touch will confirm it and it will be equipped with the technology next year Wysips full range of products. The issue price for the end user is the sinew of war. They are now have to face an average additional cost of 20-30 % on the price of a standard screen and these costs to the base between 15 and 20 dollars (average end screens ), said Francis Robcis.

Likely the manufacturer may increase of a few Euros to integrate Wysips but not more, per device it seems. So soon you will have a photo voltaic ultra- fine screen, transparent 90%, which is placed behind the screen of your Smartphone. This Alcatel could therefore charge during the use since the screen has a light. Currently, Wysips Crystal technology achieves an efficiency of 2.5 mW / cm 2 for a 90% transparency. On a 4-inch screen with a 1800 mAh battery, it should be 100 hours to fully charge an empty battery.


Understandably, a charger is therefore always necessary even if five hours of exposure to allow a cell to recharge for a sufficient use several hours. Wysips produces as much electricity the appliance consumes. They are guaranteeing with a reserve battery to permanently secure many applications (music, emergency call, SMS, remote payment, health application, boarding pass, etc.) un interrupted.

This Smartphone can also integrate the new Wysips, making it compatible LiFi (Light fidelity). This solution allows simultaneously charging the battery but also to receive information transmitted by visible light waves (Visible Light Communication - VLC) without tapping into the electric battery from the device.

Samsung Develops A Device To Turn Hands Into Virtual Keyboard

Just Imagine you meet someone in the street with his thumbs typing frantically on his knuckles. Thus Samsung imagined the future, and designed their virtual keyboard, through augmented reality glasses, would be projected on the user's fingers. And our fingers are sufficient for themselves. Rather than tapping on a keyboard, the Samsung engineers have created a technology virtual keyboard where the keys are placed on the fingers towards the palm of the hand, with wearable device connected.

Thumbs are free and have the sole purpose of tapping fingers. The display characters would, in turn, the three phalanges of the remaining 8 fingers. According to the pictures of the patent, it would also be possible to have only one hand on which is reflected letters, and the organization could depend on the comfort of the user, which would have the choice of putting his hands to the horizontally or vertically of his convenience. Today, we know that Samsung is planning a release of these connected in the course of the year, in the wake of Google Glass glasses.

And that's what patent filed with the World Intellectual protection (WIPO), between the glasses connected to this revolutionary system that could delight geeks. And this is even more impressive as the holographic keyboard device. Visible inside the phalanges with the glasses, the letters are there and so it is possible to write a message. This may be an alternative to speech recognition. Two things are singled out in the patent reported by futura - sciences. Malfunction of voice recognition in noisy environments and the lack of discretion and confidentiality and speak aloud. Such a system is still very futuristic; hard to imagine tomorrow it will be only between our fingers.

To guess which letter is typed, the system will have to analyze the movements with precision. Not an easy task! And that success is complete, it will equip the glasses with sophisticated technology and it may be more expensive. Clearly, it is impossible today to say that this virtual keyboard will come to market one day, or even a prototype is created in the future, unlike the holographic keyboards, whose demonstrations have impressed much of the Web.
