Ford and Hewlett Packard (HP) have completed a real-world driving experiment that explored ways of improving personalized services, bolstering recommendations for individual drivers and optimizing fleet management. Image Credit: Ford The Ford Fleet Insights experiment included HP vehicles equipped with wireless sensors – with Hewlett Packard’s Vertica analytics engine (part of the HP Haven platform) subsequently […]
PC World executive editor Gordon Mah Ung recently announced that his team successfully “smashed right through” the traditional 64GB system RAM barrier. “[The] barrier has vexed consumer computing for years now. Mainstream desktop PCs have all featured four slots for a maximum of 32GB of DDR3 RAM,” he explained. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrS-nApIw4] “At the high-end, prosumer […]
A recent study conducted by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology hypothesizes that hawkmoths manage complex sensing and control challenges by slowing their brains to improve vision under low-light conditions. As Futurity’s John Toon notes, scientists have long been aware of moths using their specialized eye structures to maximize the amount of light they […]
A team of Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers has demonstrated the successful extraction of secret decryption keys from laptop computers via the non-intrusive measurement of electromagnetic emanations from a distance of 50 centimeters and a total duration of just a few seconds. According to an abstract cited by The Register’s John Leyden, such attacks can […]
Writing for Datanami, George Leopold notes that the summer months are often especially challenging for power utility companies. “[They are] managing peak demand while figuring out how to integrate intermittent power sources into the grid,” he explains. “Increasingly, Big Data analytics tools are being applied to the emerging smart grid as a way to gauge […]
Researchers at Harvard and Beijing’s National Center for Nanoscience and Technology have developed a method of using a needle measuring just a few millimeters in length to inject mesh electronics directly into the brain. As John Wenz of PopularMechanics explains, this technique allows the mesh to safely unfurl, providing a non-invasive way to deploy sensors […]
Did you know it is technically possible to spy on wearable devices in a gym or coffee shop? Fortunately, as Wareable’s David Nield points out, it’s highly unlikely that anyone who isn’t a security researcher is actually going to bother to try – for now. “The few drops of data available are not worth the […]
Agreement extended to 2024 SEOUL, Korea and SUNNYVALE, Calif. – June 18 2015 – SK Hynix Inc. and Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), today announced they have signed an amendment that extends the current agreement between the two companies through July 1, 2024 for use of Rambus memory-related patented innovations in SK Hynix semiconductor products. SK Hynix […]
A team of researchers from the University of Washington (UW) has successfully demonstrated that a WiFi router is capable of providing far field wireless power – without compromising the network’s communication performance. More specifically, the team managed to power temperature and camera sensors at distances of 20 and 17 feet, respectively. In addition, the University […]
As Greta Kaul of the San Francisco Chronicle recently noted, the high cost of healthcare remains a salient “pain point” for many American families. Unsurprisingly, many in the industry are turning to Big Data analytics to help alleviate some of the discomfort. “[It could] lop off, by some estimates, 8 percent of the trillions in […]
