Thanks All for Kind Notes Encouraging Japan Big Earthquake hit

We are receiving many emails, kind words and notes from outside of Japan. Two typical messages say, " I do believe that your country people can overcome all the problems, above all, for Japan, the characteristic of your people is united & pursuit the best level all the time, where is valued to be respected." and "Japan is a strong and industrious nation, people would get through from such disasters We believe it will recover soon. Please accept our deepest sympathy and convey our best wishes to all of you"

The magnitude of the earthquake that hit Japan has been reportedly the largest in the recorded history. No one can measure an overall impact to Japan society caused by the natural disaster at this point. Finding more, the damages becomes bigger. We still are in rescue and fact finding modes. However, it’s for sure that the Japan society should be able to overcome the extraordinary difficulties, although the big earthquake is causing catastrophic damages to Japan.

In Tokyo, we may have a little bit to change our routines of life for a while because of scheduled power outage which will reportedly continue until the end of April. We do hope we’ll have found everything and will move forward for recovery as soon as possible.

Thanks all for the kind messages from overseas. They are really encouraging us, Japanese society.

Wireless High-definition Quality Video Transmission Units

This system that consists of a receiver (left) and a transmitter wirelessly enables HD (30 frames/sec) quality video and stereo sounds transmission but with no compression and no delay time. The supplier, Giga Techno Vision's blog says the system is well secured because of its proprietary and patented technologies that differ its digital modulation method from wireless LAN. - Frequency Area 2.4GHz - Transmission power: 10 mW - Radio Channel Capacity 4ch Maximum - Diversity Method: Space-diversity 2 antennas - Size (Tx & Rx each): 110(W) x 80(Ｄ) x 30(Ｈ)mm - Weight (Tx & Rx each): approximately 300g - Transmission distance: 500 m outdoors (up to 3 km) There seem to be various applications, such as remote monitoring, CCTV, home video theater application, surveillance systems, etc. I hope in the near future the system become one single chip for receiver and transmitter each. When the chip becomes available, it will significantly broaden its applications to personal and ...

Intelligent humanoid robot that can learn and make decision by itself

This reminds me of the famous movie film screened more than 40 years ago. HAL was the name of computer that kicked out people from the space ship because it learnt the people's minds from their lips that they had questions on HAL's loyalty. Growing with further development of hardware and software capabilities, this humanoid robot may have the capability that controls real humans. I hope it will not come true and real even in the future space where highly intelligent humanoid robots will have to have strict limitation not to control humans. 8/24/11

Holographic Display

National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has announced that the institute successfully developed the electron holography method stereoscopic technology which enables the ultimate viewing zone angle of 15 degrees and 4 cm diagonal display size color video display . In this development, by applying its own display technology to increase viewing area to high-resolution device with 3300 mega-pixels, the newly developed device is able to gain three time wider viewing zone angles than conventional devices and about two times broader two times broader video holographic display. It seems that 3D video display technology development is accelerated to bring us to a virtually "real" world without glasses. Source: NICT's news release (Japanese) 9/28/10
