KOREAN scientists have invented a robotic tongue, they claim.
Bae Young-min and Seoul National University professor Cho Seong-in have, according to the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (or ASAE), will be given the 2003 ASAE Superior Paper Award for their research on the "Response of Polymer Membranes as Sensing Elements for an Electronic Tongue."
The krazy Korean's robotic tongue comprises a sensor array and data processing parts.
As we accelerate into the New World of VoIP we assume we can leave some of the trappings of wireline telecom behind, such as the need for synchronization. After all, an IP network is about as asynchronous as it gets. While this may be true in some respects, precise time and synchronization continue to permeate many areas of IP telephony operations. Customer expectations of voice quality and service reliability remain unchanged, and as a result, the need for precise time remains unchanged though it manifests itself in different ways.
Systems architect and engineer Judith Myerson explains the ins and outs of wireless robots: their components, their shortcomings, and how they can interact in a competitive or cooperative team within professional environments. Learn how smarter robots can relieve us of the most tedious -- and dangerous -- tasks.
Gaze deeply into his eyes and a silicon chip calmly stares back at you.
More than just the stuff that $6 million men are made of, several types of "bionic eyes" are beginning to make their presence felt in the area where they are most needed -- restoring sight to the blind.
Colossal Storage wants its Rewritable 3D Volume Atomic Holographic Removable Optical Storage NanoTechnology to be an " ALL IN ONE " Storage Solution replacing Ram, Rom, DRAM, FRAM, MRAM, Ovonic, Flash, 2D Optical Drives(phase change/MO DVD), Tape Drives, AFM/ATF and Hard Drives for " ALL IN ONE " complete system hardware storage requirements.
All holographic storage technology except Colossal Storage Corp. use a spatial light modulator (SLM) made from ferroelectric lithium niobate which writes one complete page of data at a time.
Infinium Labs will pull the sheet off the mysterious Phantom broadband-oriented games console next month, the company said yesterday.
Phantom is being touted as a "next-generation console" that will be "the fastest console on the market" at launch thanks to a "state-of-the-art design and architecture". It hit the enthusiast sites' headlines last month after Infinium posted the Intel and Nvidia logos on its web site, suggesting that the device uses parts from both chip makers.

AN INDIVIDUAL IS SO crazy about flight simulators that he's built one in his lounge, based on a real 737 flight deck. Although his loung is not your conventional sort of lounge.
Matt Ford's 737 Project started when he was 15, and he says he's always dreamt of building his own personal fright stimulator.
His dream became something of a reality when he bought a defunct Continental Boeing 737-100 flight deck and he's spent the time converting that into his own simulator.
The grounds of the Museum of Science and Industry had the look of pit row on race day Sunday, but the cars crossing the starting line bore more than a passing resemblance to giant envelopes on wheels and their fuel comes from the sun, not the pump.
The American Solar Challenge started when a team from Kansas State University became the first from 20 U.S. and Canadian colleges to hit the road in a 2,300-mile race that will end in about 10 days in Claremont, Calif. Drivers will spend most of their time on the way to California on historic Route 66.
The United States Thursday began phasing in a highly precise $2.5 billion satellite navigation system meant to open up thousands of existing runways to pilots, even in bad weather.
Approaches to more than 200 U.S. airports have been mapped for the new Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS, which will pinpoint vertical and horizontal locations to within about 1.5 meters, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
DNA fingerprinting technology might soon lay to rest any fears that Canada's newly approved medical marijuana could easily be funnelled into illegal street sales.
For the past few years, law-enforcement research scientists in the United States, initially aided by their RCMP colleagues in Canada, have been developing a way to genetically fingerprint pot.
