Larry Page, who left the job 10 years selaam was staying digadang would bring Google's increasingly aggressive competition, especially in the mobile industry today.

Nortel said it had made a deal with Google and wait for approval from relevant authorities. The number of patents that will be controlled by Google's 6,000 patents related to wireless connection technology, 4G, data networking, optical, voice, internet, service providers, and semiconductor technology.

"A very broad patent portfolio that covers nearly all aspects of telecommunications and market support including internet search and social networking," Nortel said in a statement. The Canadian company was forced to sell all its assets after being declared bankrupt.

Google's own ambition to get a patent as a weapon to deal with a lot of patent lawsuits related to the technology it uses. Google also will use it to support the development of technologies based on open source development such as Android and Chrome.

To get a patent, Google reportedly had to compete with other companies who are also interested in these patents in the auction closed. Among others, Apple, Ericsson, and RPX (Rational Patent Exchange). RPX is a patent litigation firm that helps companies create problems with patents and patent his own with an annual usage license.

This machine Want to Buy Used Mobile Phone




How many old mobile phones or gadgets that have been unused and stored neatly in a drawer? If collected from all mobile phone users in the world, the numbers might be able to reach thousands and even hundreds of thousands of units.

Sometimes you think to sell it. But, suddenly intent was frustrated when an old cell phone has an historical value that memorable for you. Or, some of you feel the value of selling the phone is not too high, so that you are lazy to sell it.

Soon, you will not have hesitated with the fate of the "old phone". With EcoATM, you can created a instant cash, just like an ATM machine. In a simple, sophisticated machine that will "swallow" the mobile phone and "spew" in the form of cash.

Phones collected will then be recycled further. This idea was considered very brilliant and coincidence suitable for inhabitants of Earth. Its presence can minimize the content of electronic waste on the planet significantly.

EcoATM originating from San Diego, California, U.S.. He claimed to be the first company and only one in the world that makes the former mobile exchange kiosks with cash for a good cause: recycling.

Eco ATM has received an injection of investment funds from CONSTAR and grant funds from the National Science Foundation to develop breakthrough technologies and disseminate it widely. The amount is confidential. However, the company definitely plans to produce massive EcoATM machines throughout the world gradually.

The way it works is quite simple. EcoATM machine will accept old mobile phones and portable electronic devices of any kind. Then, he will automatically check its condition and offer a fair price. If agreed, these phones will be recycled and you instantly receive cash. If you do not agree, you can cancel it.

Can she recognize your cell phone that is damaged or paralyzed? Can. A EcoATM machine equipped with a scanner device (scanner). When he wants to recycle your phone, you will be prompted to select your phone type. Then, the machine will provide the data cable to diagnose the condition of the phone, including to determine whether the cell phone can still work or not.

Bionic eye Rp1 Billion




After over two decades of research and development period, a company managed to make a bionic eye tool for people who experience blindness due to degenerative damage.



"This discovery marked the beginning of an era in which vision can be restored to a level that is more amazing," said Robert Greenberg, president and CEO of Second Sight, California-based company that developed this tool.
As quoted from the Technology Review site, a tool called Argus was sold for U.S. $ 115 thousand aliases around Rp1 billion. This tool is equipped with a camera mounted on his glasses and an implant is implanted near the patient's retina.
The camera will transmit the image signal to the chip implant that would stimulate the retinal cells and produce light in the eye of the patient.
This tool will help people who suffer from retinitis pigmentosa, or a defect of vision due to damage photoreseptor or part of the eye that captures light.
For now the Argus II, which uses 60 electrodes in the implants, which can only restore vision is limited.

"Patients can map and identify simple objects, such as seeing people in front of them, and follow the direction of movement," said Greenberg.
In addition, patients can also be expected to identify doors, windows, follow a line, or read the large, slowly.
However, according to Director of Institute for Research University of Tubingen Germany Ophtalmic, Eberhart Zrenner, bionic vision provided by the Argus II is an important achievement.
However, Zrenner, who also founded the company Retinal Implants AG, said currently developing a similar tool. However, using more than 1500 electrodes by utilizing the light-sensitive photodiode, rather than using the camera.
Excellence is the Argus II implant may take longer to be planted in the body. This tool has been tested on 30 patients. "We've done things that were previously considered impossible," said Greenberg.

Cubic Millimeter Computer 1




Advances in technology allows electronic devices to perform a function similar to the size of an increasingly shrinking.
Recently, the site Techreview peeling a wireless computer sensor size is only one cubic millimeter. Supermini tool serves as an implant that is placed in the eyes of a patient with glaucoma disease.
Despite their small size, these electronic devices are incorporating various types of hardware, includes a processor, memory, pressure sensors, solar cells, thin film lithium battery and a transmitter.
Tools made by scientists from the University of Michigan it is useful to read the pressure in the eyes of glaucoma patients for 24 hours, and transmits the data to doctors who handle patients.
Pressure by the sensor readings taken every 15 minutes, and the device that will store them in memory, before the device is then uploading them to an external device. This means solar cells is only 0.007 square millimeters in size are constantly supplying the battery.
These solar cells must be illuminated by the sun about 1.5 hours or at least exposed to outdoor light for 10 hours.
According to engineers from the University of Michigan, Dennis Sylvester, the main challenge of this tool is not the size of the electrical circuit is very small, but his little electric power can be supplied by the battery. All components are designed to use as little electricity as possible.
Therefore, the scientists made their device with 180-nanometer processing technology, not the 32-nanometer. Therefore, the smaller the electrical circuit, the more leaks. Meanwhile, the memory cell is also designed to work on the voltage 400 millivolts, not 1 volt.
Pressure sensors only consume an average of 5.3 nanowatt. The processor works at 100 kilohertz (kHz) rather than 1 GHz as in most phones. And there is the memory has a capacity of 4 kilobits.
With the capacity of small, wireless transmitter device responsible for sending data wirelessly from memory into a larger storage area that were located 10 cm from the location of the implant tool.
Such small sensors is of course also be made for various purposes other biomedical monitoring, such as tracing the development of tumors, oversee the development of certain pollutants in the environment, or provide observation system for security purposes. (Art)
