New Solar Technology May Change Energy Industry

Harnessing the sun's energy through solar power has had some drawbacks in the past, but a company called Sunengy Pty Ltd has now come up with a new concept for harnessing the sun's energy.

Until now, generating solar energy has been very costly to implement, and although it is a fantastic alternative to conventional energy generating methods, it has largely remained outside as an alternative within the energy industry. That however, may all be changing soon The company has devised a fresh approach to capturing the sun's energy by creating a solar panel able to float in the water. In fact, it uses the water to dispel some of the heat generated. The liquid solar array power generator, or LSA, is made mostly from plastic, and as mentioned, it floats on water.

The panel only has a small area made up of photovoltaic cells, but a larger rotating plastic focusing lens above the area, both tracks and focusses the sun's rays throughout the day. The water is used to cool the silicon cells.

The lens is also able to submerge when fully rotated, which can then offer some protection during high winds and storms. The lens is robust enough to survive winds of more than 100mph, using the water as protection, despite being only 2mm thick. In addition, the water is also used to clean the lens when dipped under the water.

Now to get to the cost of implementation: The LSA technology has the potential to match the cost of producing fossil fuel. According to the company, the LSA is able to cut the cost of raw solar electricity from USD$5/W to USD$1.30/W in the short term, and in the long term to below USD$0.60/W under the correct conditions. This figure relates to about USD$0.03/kWhr.

Part of what makes this an efficient system is because the LSA system tracks the sun with high efficiency cells, thus generating more uniform power throughout the day than the conventional flat PV systems. The company has produced a working model as well as a 3D computer design of the model, and they believe commercial sales may be a viable within one to three years.

New 'Broadband' Cloaking Technology Simple To Manufacture

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers have created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs and works for all colors of the visible spectrum, making it possible to cloak larger objects than before and possibly leading to practical applications in "transformation optics."

Whereas previous cloaking designs have used exotic "metamaterials," which require complex nanofabrication, the new design is a far simplerdevice based on a "tapered optical waveguide," said Vladimir Shalaev, Purdue University's Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Waveguides represent established technology - including fiber optics - used in communications and other commercial applications.

The research team used their specially tapered waveguide to cloak an area 100 times larger than the wavelengths of light shined by a laser into the device, an unprecedented achievement. Previous experiments with metamaterials have been limited to cloaking regions only a few times larger than the wavelengths of visible light.

Because the new method enabled the researchers to dramatically increase the cloaked area, the technology offers hope of cloaking larger objects, Shalaev said.

Findings are detailed in a research paper appearing May 29 in the journal Physical Review Letters. The paper was written by Igor I. Smolyaninov, a principal electronic engineer at BAE Systems in Washington, D.C.; Vera N. Smolyaninova, an assistant professor of physics at Towson University in Maryland; Alexander Kildishev, a principal research scientist at Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center; and Shalaev.

"All previous attempts at optical cloaking have involved very complicated nanofabrication of metamaterials containing many elements, which makes it very difficult to cloak large objects," Shalaev said. "Here, we showed that if a waveguide is tapered properly it acts like a sophisticated nanostructured material."

The waveguide is inherently broadband, meaning it could be used to cloak the full range of the visible light spectrum. Unlike metamaterials, which contain many light-absorbing metal components, only a small portion of the new design contains metal.

Theoretical work for the design was led by Purdue, with BAE Systems leading work to fabricate the device, which is formed by two gold-coated surfaces, one a curved lens and the other a flat sheet. The researchers cloaked an object about 50 microns in diameter, or roughly the width of a human hair, in the center of the waveguide.

"Instead of being reflected as normally would happen, the light flows around the object and shows up on the other side, like water flowing around a stone," Shalaev said.

The research falls within a new field called transformation optics, which may usher in a host of radical advances, including cloaking; powerful "hyperlenses" resulting in microscopes 10 times more powerful than today's and able to see objects as small as DNA; computers and consumer electronics that use light instead of electronic signals to process information; advanced sensors; and more efficient solar collectors.

Unlike natural materials, metamaterials are able to reduce the "index of refraction" to less than one or less than zero. Refraction occurs as electromagnetic waves, including light, bend when passing from one material into another. It causes the bent-stick-in-water effect, which occurs when a stick placed in a glass of water appears bent when viewed from the outside. Each material has its own refraction index, which describes how much light will bend in that particular material and defines how much the speed of light slows down while passing through a material.

Natural materials typically have refractive indices greater than one. Metamaterials, however, can be designed to make the index of refraction vary from zero to one, which is needed for cloaking.

The precisely tapered shape of the new waveguide alters the refractive index in the same way as metamaterials, gradually increasing the index from zero to 1 along the curved surface of the lens, Shalaev said.

Previous cloaking devices have been able to cloak only a single frequency of light, meaning many nested devices would be needed to render an object invisible.

Kildishev reasoned that the same nesting effect might be mimicked with the waveguide design. Subsequent experiments and theoretical modeling proved the concept correct.

Researchers do not know of any fundamental limit to the size of objects that could be cloaked, but additional work will be needed to further develop the technique.

Recent cloaking findings reported by researchers at other institutions have concentrated on a technique that camouflages features against a background. This work, which uses metamaterials, is akin to rendering bumps on a carpet invisible by allowing them to blend in with the carpet, whereas the Purdue-based work concentrates on enabling light to flow around an object.

Nereus Dives To Deepest Ocean Level In Oceanography History Ever

On May 31, 2009, a deep-sea robotic vehicle called Nereus made history as it reached the deepest part of the world's ocean - the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, located in the western Pacific Ocean.

The vessel dived to a new record of just under 11,000 meters (about 6.8 miles) below the ocean surface Pilots operate the unmanned Nereus remotely from a surface ship, using an extremely thin, fiber-optic line that allows the vehicle to dive to these incredible depths, while remaining highly maneuverable. The Nereus also has the ability to be switched to an autonomous, free-moving vehicle.

As you may imagine, diving to these kinds of depths pose a significant number of challenges, most of all from water pressure. Imagine having the weight of 10 kilometers of water above you. Imagine tying to pick up a wine barrel standing about 1 meter high filled with water... That in itself may be an almost impossible task for most people. Now imagine that 10,000 over. Incredible water pressure - reportedly more than 1000 times the standard atmospheric pressure measured at sea level.

The Mariana Trench is currently known to be the deepest part of the ocean. Project manager and principal developer of Nereus at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Andy Bowen, believes that a vehicle like this will enable research to be carried out on just about any part of the world's oceans. Bowen believes that this vehicle marks the start of a new era of ocean exploration and research. Until now, underwater vessels were only able to explore up to about 6,500 meters (4 miles) below the oceans. The Nereus project reportedly cost in the region of about 8 million dollars to develop, and was sponsored mainly by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Ocean Sciences Division.

The Mariana Trench is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a 40,000 kilometer (25,000 mile) area in the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east and south of the Mariana Islands, near Guam. the area is known as place where most of the earth's volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. See a map of the area.

Toyota Develops Brainwave Technology To Control Wheelchair

Automotive giant, Toyota, and the Japanese research foundation have created a revolutionary new device that will most likely change the lives of paraplegics forever. It involves a wheelchair that is steered by - wait for it - mind control. No levers or buttons to push, just your thoughts steering the device where you want it to go.

The application of this new technology is made possible by EEG (Electro-encephalogram) signals, and this application is also said to be one of the first practical uses of the technology.

This is how it works: An EEG detector, a cheek puff detector and a display that assists with control is fitted to the wheelchair. The EEG detector is in the form of a electrode array skull cap that fits onto the person's head while in the wheelchair. By simply thinking about the direction of the movement, the electrodes detect the brain signals and then respond by turning left or right and moving in the desired direction.

Now, the system has a reported accuracy rate of about 95 percent, which means a secondary safety device is needed. This is where the cheek safety puff comes into play. If something goes wrong, the person simply puffs his cheek, and a sensor then detects the movement and tells the device to stop completely.

The existence of EEG was discovered well over a hundred years ago, but it is only now recently that there seems to be an interest to develop practical uses for the phenomenon.

In March 2009, Honda also created and tested a BMI, essentially allowing a person to control an Asimo robot using only their thoughts through EEG.

One of the biggest challenges to detecting these EEG signals, is that the signals can only be measured in micro-volts on the surface of a person's skull.

This means the measuring equipment needs to be ultra-sensitive, and also have the ability to filter out external and irrelevant noise signals created by other movements. The actual EEG signals are also incredibly difficult to interpret in itself, because they are intermingled with signals of billions of other brain cells working together.

Toyota and RIKEN have managed to refine the analysis algorithms, noise elimination and signal processing in such a way that the system can now detect and interpret these signals at a 95% accuracy rate. They have also managed to get the processing response time down to 125 milliseconds (or 1/8th of a second) giving the device real-time control.

Currently, there are no plans to commercialize the technology, although a wide range of posssiblities exist in which to apply these types of systems.

Imagine Being Able To Touch and Feel a Holographic Image - It's Now a Reality

Holographic technology has been around for a while now - and the moment anyone mentions the word 'holograph' it may conjure up images and memories from your favorite star trek, or other sci-fi movie.

However, holographic technology seems to be taking on a life of is own now - Imagine being able to not only see a hologram, but also being able to touch it. Yes you read it correctly - touch it.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have recently combined a few technologies which not only make it possible to 'feel' a hologram, but also to interact with it. Imagine having a ball in your hand. Now imagine bouncing that ball up and down in your hand. Roughly the same can now be done with this new holographic technology.

By combining a series of movement tracking and visual technologies, as well as what is now known as the 'Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display' holographic images can now be 'felt' by humans.

The hand tracking part of the technology makes use of existing technology found in the Nintendo Wiimote, by using its infrared camera and a retroflective marker placed on a users hand or finger.

This is then combined with the previously mentioned 'Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display' - which is something a little more new. It works by using what is known as 'acoustic radiation pressure' - a technology that allows force to be generated by emitting ultrasound from the tactile display, and then felt physically at the focal point - wherever that may be. In the case of holographic projections, the focal point would obviously follow the exact position of the holographic image - thereby creating a sense of interaction with the image.

For instance - using this technology, they are able to simulate and project falling raindrops, which, if you hold your hand below the holographic raindrops, you would feel the actual point of impact on your hand, and not only that - the raindrop would also 'bounce' or splatter on your hand, just like a normal raindrop would behave in similar conditions.

Applications for this technology will most likely take us to where our imaginations can stretch, and possibly even further - but it certainly is an exciting next step in holographic technology. We won't even try to list the possible applications here, because at this point the possibilities seem almost endless for this type of application.

Scientists Create New Wonder Material 1 Atom Thick - Stronger Than Diamond

It sounds like something from a futuristic science fiction film, but scientists have created a new 'wonder material' that has much of the scientific world astir.

Imagine this: a sheet about the size of a football field - but weighing only a few grams in total. Yes, a few grams. Now imagine that the sheet is only one atom thick, yet it is stronger than diamonds.

Now it does indeed start to sound like something from a science fiction movie. There is one more attribute to this material that we have no yet mentioned - it has the ability to conduct electricity approximately 100 times faster than current silicon chips used in computers. Yes, 100 times faster.

So let's recap - the thinnest known material in the universe, stronger than any diamond, able to conduct electricity at super fast speeds, weighing almost nothing. That is what this material is. So what is this new material that has the entire scientific world abuzz?

Called 'Graphene', the material was first discovered in 2004, but new research being done in recent months could open up a whole new world of applications for the material. Currently, quite a bit of research is being done to determine the eficiency of this technology in computers and other electronic devices. This would mean that microchips would be able to operate at much higher speeds than today's standard silicon chips.

In order to make electronic devices faster, the frequency it needs to work at, needs be higher in order for it to be faster. Currently, scientists find it difficult to generate frequencies above 4 or 5 gigahertz. This new wonder material called Graphene will make ranges of 500 to 1000 gigahertz possible.

Although the technology is still in the early stages of development, it is believed that it may become a commercially viable product within two years.
It seems this technology is set to become part of electronic and other devices, one could possibly even say that the technology may transform these devices in future. Either way, it is an exciting developement that has the whole scientific world stirring and buzzing, and we will definitely be keeping an eye on this technology in future.

How to Unlock the Huawei E220 HSDPA modem

Huawei e220 or Vodafone e220 is the HSDPA modem we usually get from Dialog Telecom or Mobitel GSM (probably from Airtel) when we purchase a mobile broadband connection. But usually it's operator locked, so we can't switch between networks when the current ISP starts treating us like dust, If you've read my previous post you know I have my reasons to unlock the Huawei e220 modem I got from Dialog Telecom. Here I'm gonna explain how I did that and I'll try to be as simple as I can. But Feel free to ask for help if u need any.


Disclaimer: I’m not responsible, nor will be held liable, for anything you do with the information I provide in this tutorial. Use it at your own risk.

Ok, since we are done with the traditional "Disclaimer" Lets see what you have to do.

First you'll have to download the following tools.
e220 CardLock UnLocker
e220 Updater version 11.117.09.04.00
QC Mobile Analysis Tool
And a Hex editor. But if you do it correctly you can do it with an ordinary text editor too ;)

Or you can download and extract this file (to be uploaded). It contains all the tools we need for the job, including a lightweight portable hex editor :)

Basically, Unlocking the e220 is simple as running the E220 CardLock Unlock tool and entering the unlock code and pressing the "Ok" button. But that's when you "know" the unlock code.


So how do we find the unlock code for our modem? that's where the other tools come in handy.

Plug your modem to the computer and run the E220 Updater. Wait till it detects your modem and then press the "Cancel" button. yes! Cancel it! This is just to make it easier for the "real tool" to identify the modem.

Now open the QC BQS Analyzer and click on Hardware forensics menu, select Use Com/USB Port


Now the "QC Com Diag" window should be open. Most of the time your modem and com port is automatically selected on the Serial Com port drop down list. If not you'll have to select it manually. And then click on the "Send Cmd" button and wait till the message "Successfully sent command" appears on the bottom right.

Now Select " Read EFS" from the Diag Functions drop down menu and Click the "Lets go" button. When it asks, enter the file name e220.bin and save it. A message saying "Successfully read EFS" should appear.

Now its time to do some hex reading :) Open the e220.bin file from your Hex Editor. And search for the ASCII string Sd, (including the comma) or Search for the for the Hex string 53 64 2c
After few random characters you'll see a clean 8 digit code. Believe me, it's easily recognizable and guess what! thats our Unlock code :D
Once you've found the unlock key all you have to do is enter it on the CardLock Unlock utility and click "OK" And your modem is... Unlocked!!! :D

Hope this will be helpful. I'd absolutely love to know your views on this. Good luck with unlocking your modems :)

What's missing from iPhone 3G?

Do you feel like there's something missing from the upgraded iPhone software and the new iPhone 3G? You're not alone.

Some analysts at the Apple developer conference said they were disappointed that the iPhone 3G wouldn't come with a built-in video camera.

Another was hoping he could use a SIM card to stretch out the battery life if needed (Apple says the iPhone 3G will handle up to five hours of talking, six hours of Web surfing, seven hours of video watching or 24 hours of audio listening).

And our readers are finding plenty of things to criticize. Their biggest gripe: The iPhone still doesn't let you copy and paste text, an oversight that has annoyed lots of people since the gadget went on sale almost a year ago. Like the analysts, our readers said they wished Apple had included a video camera. But they also wanted a stylus (for those who have long fingernails) as well as the ability to send MMS (aka picture messaging) and view Flash-based Web pages.
