GE’s WattStation™ is an easy-to-use electric vehicle (EV) charger designed to help accelerate the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) by significantly decreasing time needed for vehicle charging. Its smart grid-enabled technology could also help utility companies manage the impact of EVs on the local and regional grids.
On average the WattStation™ decreases EV charging time from 12-18 hours to as little as 4-8 hours compared to standard charging, assuming a 24 kWh battery and a full-cycle charge. In addition, the design will enable integration into the electrical distribution system, offering an end-to-end integrated EV infrastructure solution of electrical distribution products.

The EYE-PxP alignment tool features a comprehensive toolset to enable image correction for single- or multi-channel display systems. Developed for devices requiring colour and brightness correction, the toolset also provides colour shading, alpha masks and pixel-accurate blending, among other features.
Based around an easy-to-use GUI that provides straightforward configuration for one or multiple channels, the EYE-PxP can be used with visual display solutions from a wide range of manufacturers, including eyevis itself. Users can upload an individual LUT (LookUpTable) for each colour, while a shading map with independent transparency information for red, green and blue for each pixel can also be incorporated into operations. The ‘resolutionpassthrough’ technology allows easy integration into any system environment without the need to configure the desired resolution, with a DDC-EDID emulation feature among the other key aspects of the EYE-PxP.
Any setting and parameter can be permanently stored on the device, while the input and output is a single link DVI-D for resolutions up to WUXGA (1920×1200 @ 60Hz) or 2k (2048×1080 @ 60Hz).
Hans-Günther Nusseck from eyevis’s R&D department told IE: “The simple control and handling of the device allow for simple integration into existing or new systems. The device enables corrections of colour and brightness of displays or projectors without major interference in the existing infrastructure. The open interface architecture provides the possibility to integrate almost any calibration methods or alignment systems. For the growing range of products on the display market, the eyevis EYE-PxP provides a device-independent solution for colour and brightness corrections.”
The Reutlingen-based manufacturer has also announced details of the EYE-EDID-SIM-DVI emulators, which emulate the selected/programmed EDID for the attached PC to enable continuous video output - even if the attached display is disconnected or powered down. Allowing the user to set up operation for any DVI output resolution - whether or not the device supports this resolution or not -the EDID emulators work passively and do not use presets in conjunction with a switch. For uploading or changing the emulated EDID, users will require the EYE-DDC programmer.

MIT Technology Review names 10 technologies that will change the World
Here we are in the Information Age. Never before has the flow of ideas, innovation and new technologies been so strong, so much so that it’s hard to imagine what the world will be like in 10, 20 or 50 years time. So which of today’s fledgling technologies will have a fundamental impact on the way we live our lives in the future? MIT’s Technology Review has turned its attention to this question with the release of its annual list of 10 emerging technologies and it makes thought provoking reading.
Technology Review 2010 TR10 - technologies likely to change the world
Solar fuel. Joule Biotechnologies’ Noubar Afeyan has created genetically engineered microorganisms that can turn sunlight into ethanol or diesel — a feat that could allow biofuels to compete with fossil fuels on both cost and scale. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=563
Mobile 3-D. Recent box-office hits like Avatar and Up have added to the growing popularity of 3-D movies. Julien Flack of Dynamic Digital Depth is leading the charge to take 3-D mainstream not only on TVs, but also smart phones and mobile devices, through a technology that can convert existing 2-D content to 3-D on the fly. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=559
Dual action antibodies.Genentech’s Germaine Fuh has found a promising way to fight conditions like cancer and AIDs through dual-action antibodies that give patients two drugs for the price of one, offering the promise of drugs that work better and cost less. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=560
Real-time search. Amit Singhal is leading Google’s quest to mine social networks for up-to-the-second search results that offer the same relevance and quality of traditional Web searches. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=556
Light-trapping photovoltaics. By depositing nanoparticles of silver on the surface of a thin-film cell, Kylie Catchpole of the Australian National University has found a way to boost the cells’ efficiency — an advance that could help make solar power more competitive with fossil fuels. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=558
Engineered stem cells. James Thomson of Cellular Dynamics and the University of Wisconsin has potentially revolutionized the way we screen drugs and study disease by providing a way to make — in the test tube — any kind of cell from patients with different diseases. http://www.technologyreview.com/article/25152/
Social TV. People are already trying to combine their social networks with TV, using laptops and smart phones to comment on live events like the Oscars or the Olympics. MIT’s Marie-José Montpetit is working on social TV — a way to seamlessly combine the active experience of social networks with the more passive experience of traditional TV viewing. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=564
Green concrete. The production of cement is responsible for about 5 percent of global carbon emissions. Novacem’s Nikolaos Vlasopoulos has created a cement that is a carbon “sink” rather than a source. His innovation could greatly reduce the global carbon emissions that result from cement production. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=562
Implantable electronics. Tufts University’s Fiorenzo Omenetto is developing implantable electronic devices that can be used to deliver drugs, stimulate nerves, monitor biomarkers, and more. And once they’ve done their job, they almost completely dissolve away. More info here or http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=557
Cloud programming. At the University of California, Berkeley, Joseph Hellerstein is creating better software for building cloud applications, and this could herald a new wave of applications for social media analysis, enterprise computing, or sensor networks monitoring for earthquake warning signs. http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=561
More info on each of the 2010 TR10 (and previous years) is now online and will be featured in the May/June edition of Technology Review.

Futuresource predicts 3D TVs in 10% of households by 2012
PHYSICAL: Advanced 3D at-home usage, comparable in quality to today’s theatrical experience, will be realized gradually, with the first commercial 3D Blu-ray Disc releases expected no sooner than 2011, according to Futuresource Consulting.
A key obstacle to 3D at-home adoption is the current lack of technology standards ensuring that content will reliably play on all available 3D display devices. In the short-term, between 2009 and 2011, advanced 3D projects will be geared primarily for theatrical release.
Yet manufacturers will ramping for-home use as they extend their launch of 3D-ready TV sets. By 2012, about 10% of U.S. households will be equipped to view 3D programming on TVs, according to Futuresource. It’s likely that there will be a limited amount of 3D content delivered via video-on-demand to 3D sets.
“With over 200 million new TVs sold across the globe every year, the potential [for 3D] is huge, but the industry needs to overcome some serious obstacles in order to kick start and fully realize the revenue streams,” said Sarah Carroll, director of continuous services at Futuresource. “Most notably, technical and standards issues still need to be resolved. … And the current economic climate makes new investment in production and distribution a challenge.”
Yet Futuresource is optimistic that 3D at home is achievable and predicts 3D Blu-ray releases will start in 2011. The company projects that by 2015, U.S. 3D TV household penetration will jump to about 70%.
“Our probability modeling shows the permeation phase will kick in from 2011, where, among other initiatives, we’ll see new 3D movie releases on Blu-ray, remasters of classic blockbusters like Star Wars, The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings,” said Jim Bottoms, managing director of corporate development at Futuresource. “By 2012, more than 10% of U.S. and Japanese homes will be 3D-enabled, and Western Europe won’t be too far behind with 6% household penetration. Moving forward, a new generation of videogame consoles will begin to emerge, fully embracing 3D technologies.”
