A new Android tablet kobo Arc 10 HD

EBook reader manufacturer Kobo is working on an attractive Android tablet PC called the "Arc HD 10". A submerged up on the internet benchmark test reveals first details. According to sources the first hand information tells that Kobo is planning the production of a ten-inch tablet PCs. Kobo apparently wants to stir up in the fall with many new products to market. Recently surfaced pictures of a eBook reader - "Kobo N514" - on, probably to replace the successful "Kobo Glo". Now there is speculation again - this time, for a powerful Android tablet. The internet has become a benchmark test found previously about unknown tablet PC. The technical details listed there below are all about “Kobo Arc HD 10" which is going to be released out soon. The device has a ten-inch touch screen with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a 1.8-GHz processor (Tegra 4) with Android 4.2.2 operating System. Other specifications are not available. It is also about the design of the tablet PCs no information. Possible that the Kobo already available seven-inch tablet PC "Kobo Arc 7" takes the model and the case only inflates on ten-inch size.

A bright glove will light your way in the dark!

An inventor had the idea to design a very special plastic glove. This is almost entirely covered with a luminous surface. Now, no need to get a flashlight or turn on the screen of his Smartphone hastily to see in the dark! H9 is a kind of shell that looks a bit like a piece of plaster to repair the bone. This device can be worn as a glove, a glove over or next to the skin. The project is based on the original idea of Fillipo Pagliai and was designed by Luisa Baldassari Grado Zero Espace. H9 is a glove comprised of glass fibers that generates light through a micro-layer of an electroluminescent material. The light is diffused uniformly over substantially the entire surface of the glove.

The idea came from the need to increase the visibility and safety of those who work or travel in conditions where visibility is reduced, for example at night. The H9 has been designed so as not to impede labor mobility and can adapt to a wide range of situations. It may be used by the police to alert motorists to pull over to the side of the road and by airport agents to direct aircraft on the slopes. It may also be used by pedestrians and cyclists at best be seen in the street at night. Given the ton of uses to which we think seeing this item, we are eager to know when it will be released! And we can avoid unnecessarily draining the battery in our mobile lighting up in the dark. You can also find more information on this device at this address. So, would you be willing to trade your flashlight to light the glove!

Blu-ray disc successor announced by Sony and Panasonic

In a brief press release, the Japanese company Sony and Panasonic announced their mutual cooperation in the development of a new optical memory. This is to make the existing capacity of a Blu-ray disc in the shade. Sony and Panasonic are working together on an optical memory with 300 GB of storage. For this, both of the companies have signed a contract that combines its experience in the development in the future. The capacity of the new-generation storage discs to at least 300 gigabytes (GB) in size and the end of 2015 on the market. Conventional Blu-ray discs store up to 50 GB is worth mention. They planning to find a new storage device which is more advanced and sophisticated are probably on good roads. Than this is a replacement for video or Blu-ray discs as a storage medium for high-resolution UHD Movies Instead, it could allow the professional long-term storage of data in companies. Other features of the new optical storage from Sony and Panasonic are not yet known. For UHD content, there are basically already a storage medium, the so-called BDXL disc. It can hold 100 GB of data, recordable blanks are to be had online from 25 €. However, there is no living room player for those discs, other than PC drives which cost above 70 Euros.

Android 4.3; Permissions Manager and 4K Video Support in the future

At its conference announcing the new Nexus 7, Google took the opportunity to start talking about Android 4.3 which will be delivered by default with the tablet. There will thus be entitled to new small profiles, support for the "Bluetooth Smart" OpenGL ES 3.0 and DRM for the use of applications like Netflix. With the latest versions of Android, we got right to manage multi-user account, Android 4.3 will go a little further with the arrival of restricted accounts. These may be limited in their actions and will not have access to all applications. Furthermore an example is given in the interaction with in-app purchases. Thus, a father who has bought three levels may prevent his son to buy another while allowing him to play. That should reassure a lot of parents and put some pressure on Apple and iOS is still lacking largely such opportunities. It was also given a demonstration of support Bluetooth Smart and OpenGL ES 3.0, which will be managed easily and can be used by developers. Other options worth mention is advanced support DRM, which is a prerequisite for having rights on the possibility of offering 1080p streaming content, as we have known already. This new capability will be exploited first by Netflix.

Slingatron, a device to hurl satellites into space!

HyperV Technologies has developed a spin with which it would fling satellites and other payloads into space in the future. For the construction of the next prototype, it seeks support through crowd funding. Slingatron is the device to be carried into orbit the small satellite with such an ancient slingshot. This should cost significantly less than to transport them with a rocket. The Slingatron is a spiral metal strip, which is mounted on a base. The base is placed in a circular movement. The satellite is set into the center of the spiral, the spiral moves through and thereby accelerated so much that he flies up into orbit. It is equipped with a small drive, the lights on the apex of the flight path and brings the satellite into its proper orbit. The spiral rotates 40 - to 60 times per second. The speed at which the payload is to be accelerated is depending on the diameter of the spiral. To propel a payload, such as a Cubesat in a low earth orbit that is in Low Earth Orbit (Leo), this must be accelerated to about 7.6 kilometers per second. According to a spiral HyperV Technologies this speed can be achieved with a diameter of 200 to 300 meters. So far, the company has been built two prototypes. Of about one meter wide second prototype manages to accelerate a heavy part just under 230 grams to 100 meters per second.

The next prototype will have a diameter of five meters and be able to throw a 450 gram heavy payload of velocity of a kilometer per second in the air. At this rate it can approximately fly 51 km to high. To build this device, HyperV Technologies has requested financial help of the Internet community: the company of Chantilly, Virginia has launched a crowd funding campaign on the platform Kickstarter. The company needs at least $ 250,000 so far100 supporters ready to sponsors. The Slingatrons could in future carry satellites, supplies such as water or fuel and components for space vehicles or stations into space. The payload could be several tons explained by HyperV. However, the world cannot replace spin space rockets, the company say. Because of the immense G-forces in the spiral, not all payloads are suitable for a start on the Slingatron including human.
