Qi: Wireless Phone Battery Charge

2011-01-26T23:26:00.000+07:00

Soon, the phone will charge the battery as easy to charge an electric toothbrush. Users simply place it in a kind of flat-shaped pad or place. This is thanks to the power charging wireless standard that was fought vigorously by the Wireless Power Consortium.

Standard Power Wireless charging which will include the global environment is intended for low-power devices (about 5 watts or less). Mobile phones and personal music players are among these devices. Qi that is read with the word Chi means energy as an energy flow in the human body in Chinese culture.

When this standard is successful, the user mobile phone or other device to charge the battery just by putting these devices on a flat container. Furthermore, electric power will be channeled through the process of electromagnetic induction. There is no electrical contact with an intermediary cable between the device and pad.

Within a period of 7 months, the consortium has succeeded in raising standards up to version 0.95 for interoperability testing and is now making trademark of Qi as a standard wireless power the world's first universal. So it can be predicted that the operation of Qi will be one of the best in the world.

As an example of why Qi is very useful, when we are at a coffee shop, we can download our electronic device charger if the owner of the coffee shop provides for the wireless charging pad at each table that exists. That way, visitors can more easily charge the battery of his mobile phone or notebook. Not just in coffee shops, restaurants and cafes, perhaps the owner of the hotel or airline companies also can benefit from this wireless power supply devices.

Pre Palm actually already launched the first mobile phone with wireless charging. But from the observations IMS Research, a wireless charger that can supply power to various devices not only ogled the phone would be more than capable of supplying only 1 piece of the device alone.

Although his memory is still relatively long generation, other facilities are relatively new. Among the support 45 nm processors with the architecture, support for PCI Express x16 graphics card version 2.0, and supports CrossFire mode. ASUS audio Affairs FMSE appear somewhat different, not using an integrated sound system, but using the expansion SupremeFX II sound card that uses PCIe x1 slots.

Facilities for other overclocking support comes in the form of clear CMOS button on the back. This is a little more help to those who like to experiment to tamper with the BIOS and have positioned the motherboard into the chassis. While in the corner of Southbridge area is also equipped with the power button and reset. One more interesting from Asus FMSE is the existence of an LCD panel that displays information on all activities when the PC is running. If you typically view that there be a code number, this time code display in the form of the word. For example, if something goes wrong in the BIOS / CMOS it will be displayed with the code "CMOS ERR" so that it will make users more clearly. In FMSE Asus also contains codes and descriptions listed in the manual.

Asus Maximus Formula Special Edition is intended for enthusiast overclocking thanks to the inclusion of facilities. Luxury and convenience of those who indulge a hobby tinkering to improve performance standards.

Marine Cooling, a new technology from Asus Motherboard

2011-01-22T01:08:00.000+07:00

A new innovation introduced by the company's leading motherboard manufacturer, Asus, some time ago. This time, Asus, trying to leave the traditional ingredients and began applying the technology called cooling modules for the newest motherboard series.

Cooling material used consisted of two types of materials, namely ceramics and metal. This is done to double the cooling efficiency to allow use in extreme environments, such as humidity and high heat. Clad in gray and army green metallic accents, the heatsink steel shaped like a military vehicle that represents the sturdiness and durability. According to Asus, the overall design of the stick will emit impression-class technology and durability of the military.

The motherboard is also equipped with features Un-interruptible Power Supply (UPS) integration, using polymer batteries to supply electrical power during a power failure. Facilitation in the end, helps prevent damage to the integrated component, preventing loss of important files, preventing destruction of data due to the current and voltage fluctuation and avoid unexpected outages.

Fail facility over memory serves to further support the long operation. Design standards Failover Memory on the motherboard cool marine uses an integrated memory which will help to continue the process of booting the system when an error occurs in the additional memory. Other uses from Memory Failover is to ensure that the system will still boot even if there is an incompatible memory or damaged.

At the front of the motherboard can be found a metal heatpipe module that channel and remove heat from critical components. While the ceramic plate located on the back of the motherboard (integrated with the printed circuit board) using a micro-porous ceramic technology to provide a larger cooling area. These conditions will ultimately help to remove heat with high effectiveness. Asus states that the design of such cooling is expected to boost the cooling efficiency up to two-fold.

Avoid the Same Password!

2011-01-21T00:02:00.000+07:00

Millions of people use the same password for all purposes. As a result they also become vulnerable to fraud, according to a report CPP (money marketing services company based in the UK). Again, the CPP also said nearly half of Britons (Briton) use the same password to log in to banking, shopping, and accessing social networking sites. Fifty-four percent admitted they do little variation in the password.

For matters of confidentiality of the password, at least 40% of adults admit that at least one person who knows their password. Meanwhile, more than half a million people admit that their ex-girl/boyfriends have access to log into a personal account alias know their password.

More than that, really easy to guess passwords which are also open opportunities for intruders enter. One in five people use their pet names, while another 12 percent use the historic dates like birthdays. Ten percent use traditional name of the child, and nine percent longer using the name of the mother.

Sarah Blaney (identity theft expert at CPP), said that does not make sense when people use the same key for home, car, or their garage. Now, through this analogy, we should not use the same password for everything. If necessary, the person should use a combination of letters and numbers, so it will be more difficult to penetrate.

Based on a report that also, revealed the fact that one in ten people have a web account accessed by a thief, and one dai twenty people reported that their personal identity has been stolen.

The slogan of the vigorous energy-efficient circulating lately addressed properly by one of the graphics card manufacturers, Nvidia Hybrid SLI technology with raises. Or multi-GPU SLI technology on nVidia graphics card is known as a technology that desperately need the power but provides a modest performance improvement. Instead of giving a rapid increase in performance, this SLI system would potentially increase electricity bills in your place. Well, Dengah Hybrid SLI problem can be overcome.

This energy-saving innovation actually works by turning off the GPU or the graphics processor when the graphics are not high workload such as typing, browsing or see pictures of 2 dimensional. New GPU will be active when demand is high graphic processes such as playing games or 3-dimensional rendering. You should know that, in conditions of full load, or both work full-VGA, a conventional SLI PC with the system will absorb about 600 watts of electricity while at SLI idle (idle) power absorption is still dikisaran 400 watts. Well with Hybrid SLI system, the GPU on the graphics card is claimed to not suck up power at all or in the range of 0 watts. Hence, in the idle and 2-dimensional display screen will only be processed by the internal graphics chipset called the mGPU on MCP.

Hybrid SLI Systems offers two new technologies called GeForce Boost and HybridPower. HybridPower allows the PC switch the rendering process of the graphics card either single or a double to the CHP onboard graphics on the motherboard. This process is effective in applications that do not need such high graphic power of watching movies or send e-mail. These systems reduce the heat impact VGA as well as extend battery power when applied to the notebook.

For high graphics requirement, doubling the performance of GeForce Boost technology 3 dimensions through a combination of a VGA graphics card with onboard graphics chip on the motherboard. Both these graphics chips render bertandem in VGA graphics so that performance can be higher than normal PC with external VGA.

Hybrid SLI system products appear on the series nForce 780a SLI, nForce 750a SLI, and nForce 730a for AMD platform that almost coincided with the latest graphics chip, GeForce 8200.

Chat about efforts to save the earth has been much discussed. Starting from the planting of trees back up to try to improve the polluted environment. One way or the effort is through maximizing the use of solar energy as an energy source. This is as indicated by the solar-powered cell phone made by ZTE as a result of his collaboration with Digicel Group.

Items named Coral 200 Solar, a solar-powered mobile phone that uses intivitation technological innovation, a company that based in the Netherlands. Previously, Digicel has also provided a portable charger that uses solar power with economical prices and even free.

With the birth of the solar-powered mobile phone collaboration between ZTE and this Digicel, Digicel initiative forward to the next stage. Current estimates say there are about 2 billion people in the world that have only limited access or no access at all to supply electric power. The majority of users in developing markets, where Digicel provides cellular service, will be able to enjoy a mobile handset that can utilize solar energy, or electrical power when available.

Handset with solar power obviously be a way to meet the needs of users who face problems of electricity supply throughout the world. This also shows the benefits of technology and manufacturing its partners, namely Intivitation and ZTE handsets in order to realize the presence of these supporters. Coral 200 Solar is expected to freshen up millions of users around the world who use mobile phones with environmentally friendly technology.

Long Trip From HSDPA to LTE

2011-01-09T16:52:00.000+07:00

If you buy a USB modem, you will definitely hear and see the term HSDPA. Of course, when you want to buy the modem you also presented some information on HSDPA, there are states with 7.2 Mbps and there is a mention with the accompanying figures 3.6 Mbps. However, what is the difference in these numbers?

From the information available, HSDPA stands for High Speed Downlink Packet Access, which means as the communication protocol third generation mobile telephony, better known by the family of 3G HSPA (High Speed Packet Access).

It protocols of this type is providing support to all networks using UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), which has a transfer speed and data capacity is higher. Today, HSPA support downloads speeds of 1.8 up to 14.4 Mbit / sec. The first phase of HSDPA is specified in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Release 5. This phase introduces basic functionalities that aim to achieve the speed downloading up to 14.4 Mbit / sec. In Singapore. They have implemented this 3GPP-based system so that the speed in the surf using HSDPA USB modem is very pleasant.

The second phase of the HSDPA of course also influenced by the 3GPP, but, in this second phase is determined by what is now the seventh release HSPA Envolved. Data's speeds can reach about 42 Mbit /sec, with the help of an array antenna technology such as beamforming and MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output). Where are beamforming to focus on the performance of the power delivered from an antenna in a beam toward the user so that the MIMO using many antennas on the sending and receiving data.
After HSPA Evolved, the next direction is the E-UTRA which was formerly known as HSOPA. It is a technology that is being developed for the specification of 3GPP Release 8. The project is now known as LTE (Long Term Evolution), which at this early stage to provide support in the form of download service with speeds above 320 Mbit /sec and upload at 170 Mbit / sec.
