Quantum computing research and development continues to pick up pace. Now we hear that software (services and devices) giant Microsoft will be collaborating with memory specialist Rambus on developing memory systems for future architectures, specifically for quantum computing.
Sensors Enable ADAS
Advanced driver assistance requires a careful and complex balance of hardware, software and security.
Securing intelligent transportation systems
Earlier this week, Team Lightbulb hosted its annual Broadband Conference at CES 2016. A number of topics were discussed at various panels throughout the day, including the steady evolution of intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
Jill Ingrassia, the Managing Director of Government Relations and Traffic Safety Advocacy at AAA, told conference attendees the auto industry has managed to significantly reduce the amount of vehicle crashes in recent years. However, more progress must be made, as thousands of people a year still lose their lives in traffic accidents.
Microsoft is pushing for a quantum leap to shape the future of computing
Microsoft and Rambus have announced a partnership whereby they will be jointly looking into the memory requirements which will be necessary for quantum computing to become a reality in some form…
New York Times talks lensless smart sensors
Dave Gershgorn of the New York Times recently noted that the optics of the camera obscura have faithfully served photographers for ages. Indeed, the recipe has been kept fairly simple throughout the years: a lens, aperture, dark box and something to record the light.
“But the camera as we know it is changing,” Gershgorn confirmed. “A revolution in digital imaging research could surpass the camera obscura in almost every technical way: resolution, size and energy efficiency. It’s called computational photography, and it stems from the idea that if you can capture visual data instead of a true image, then the picture can be reconstructed with software.”
Rambus showcases lensless smart sensor prototypes @ PepCom 2016
Rambus will be showcasing a number of functional lensless smart sensor (LSS) prototypes at the CES 2016 PepCom Digital Experience tonight in Las Vegas. Developed in conjunction with frog design and IXDS, the prototypes include a drone (UAV), smartwatch as well as a maintenance and assembly platform.
