Post 198

Microsoft obtained a patent on the use of the key ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’. The key is exist since IBM era more than a quarter century ago. Microsoft patents on the ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ in 2005. In August 2008, the patent is granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Patents numbered 7415666 describe about “the methods and systems in the document to make scrolling on the right size in a document.

Patents are written in the name of Timothy Sellers, Heather Grantham, and Joshua Dersch as founders. Although, the keyboard Page Up and Page Down ‘has been around since about a quarter century ago. For example keyboard for the IBM PC in 1981. Microsoft often seems to get a patent and technology or controversial inventions. Many parties acknowledge that the inventions have already been invented by other people, based on the general idea. Some of Microsoft’s patents still in debate, including patents for the mouse ‘scroll wheel’ and ‘double-click’. Microsoft currently has nearly 10,000 patents that defense by the USPTO.

Firefox immediately release for FireFox 3.0 browser. Firefox version 3.1 that will soon be released claimed more than three times faster than previous versions. Increasing performance was caused by the component called TraceMonkey to improve the performance of JavaScript in Firefox. TraceMonkey claimed drastically improve future performance web based applications.

Name TraceMonkey established because this is a combination of SpiderMonkey, which is the JavaScript engine in Firefox with a technique called Tracing, which was developed by the University of California. The aim of project TraceMonkey is to improve the performance of JavaScript to the next level even though new in the early stages. Firefox 3.1 beta version is planned will be released at the end of the year 2008.

UPS
Some UPS of PC are also equipped with the function of AVR (auto voltage regulator). Additional functions allow AVR to protect from Sag voltage, voltage spike, brownout, and over voltage. Maintain output voltage (voltage output remain stable. Sometimes there are on-line interactive UPS).

Battery
Work to save power in the UPS.  When it is normal flow of electricity, DC supply and battery charger fill capacity.  When the electricity is blackout, inverter takes power from the battery to share output power from UPS.

Black out
electric power become off. The signature is most easily seen, with the unavailability of electric power, the balk of the local electricity network or the MCB from PLN. It’s sometimes called outages. Read more…

A supercomputer from the United States military, roadrunner, built with the original components, designed for video game machines, and able to perform the calculation of data from more 1.026×1015 calculations per second. Roadrunner this price range USD 133 million and will be used to study nuclear weapons. Machines computer is twice faster than the previous fastest supercomputer, IBM BlueGene / L, which is in the laboratory LLN (Lawrence Livermore National), California.

Super Computer roadrunner will referenced New Mexico City was built by engineers and scientists from IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. Super Computer used to solve military problems to ensure the supply of nuclear weapons will work with the national good. Roadrunner is able to simulate how nuclear weapons work in a small explosion. In addition to the military to solve problems, roadrunner can also be used to identify the problems of climate change. With high-speed, roadrunner can help scientists to test global climate accurately. Read more…

According to the researchers from the Lab of Bio-based Active Materials, Kyoto University, Natta de coco composite can be very strong with a simple processing technique. Dry sheet of Natta de coco (after water composite removed) is put in prior to the adhesive polifenol Formaldehyde with low molecular weight. After the drying process and then pressed on the hot temperature 180 C for 10 minutes so it will be a very strong composite.

Composite Natta de coco can have a very good strength because of Natta de coco have micro fibrils with a uniform fiber size of less than 10 nm, straight and formed a net  such as gossamer. This excellence makes composite Natta de coco approaching the strength of steel but with light density is much lower when compared to lightweight steel. Excellence enables composite Natta de coco to be used in various industrial applications such as automotive, electronic, and construction. In addition to excellence that is light, strong, inexpensive and easy to produce in the process, the other is superior composite is made from natural material (RENEWABLE resources) that availability is very abundant in nature.

The company’s market watcher, iSuppli. 2008 is a year of disaster for most of the memory chip manufacturing. Revenue for nearly all of the suppliers decreased and the results are all negative for the semiconductor industry.

Dale Ford, senior Vice President of market intelligence services at iSuppli, stated that global semiconductor revenue is expected to rise two percent in 2008 from the sales of memory IC (Integrated circuits) of 16.9 percent. Only two of 29 IC suppliers are likely to increase in income in the year 2008, and the other, consider that in 2008 only disasters that obtainable. Read more…
