Samsung Techwin level of performance and the recent implementation of digital cameras, and 800 million hwasodae products in the world's most thin thickness of 8.5mm optical approach CMOS camera phone module successfully developed three baejum said.
The successful development of the world's ultra-thin camera phone module is 8.5mm thickness in the last 20 years, the Samsung Techwin chukjeokhaeon superior optics, electronics, software, based on technology, 28mm (width) × 15.3mm (width) × 8.5mm (thickness) Apply a tiny module within a range of integrated solutions, and digital cameras to mobile phones, cameras beogeumga performance by implementing the limits ttwieoneomeot that assessment.
Specifically, the Samsung product is the last in September 2006 to develop a successful three times optical zoom AF 5 million pixel camera module overcome by a wall of the popular 9mm dukkein slim phones, as well as PDA, PMP, MP3, and a wider variety of portable navigation Apply a tiny digital cameras and multimedia devices, and new markets neunghayeo camera phones based on the module that holds the greatest significance.
The module is a key component of a mobile phone camera phone, a cell phone add-on products for the design and the core technology as a major painter bakhyeong hold.따라서 9mm 이하의 Therefore, the thickness of less than hiring a 9mm phones are much less constrained in the design and the recent slide in the form of a fashion model, a variety of possible responses, even keugida.
Samsung Techwin thickness of the silk, as well as the overall size of the existing developed three times optical zoom, 5 million pixel camera phone module, and approximately 10% reduction in the size of the sikyeoteumyeo by contrast, affect pixel prints at the level of 8 million pixel digital camera to be increased .In addition, by enabling a dark lens, F2.6 brightness of the image bright indoor deungeseodo were able to obtain.
Samsung has developed modules for camera phone users to regular phone survey conducted by marketing itself as a result of mobile phone users was the biggest factor complaint with indoor and dark environments that feature film and camera phones feature film figures also reinforced the main target shooting. .
First, the sensitivity level of ISO 1600 anti-shake features and photography, super-noise processing technology Low Light Trio at the same time, applying a dark environment, the ability to adopt to further strengthen its capabilities in the shooting.
Since last year, figures to strengthen universal feature film began shooting the target of a person's face to detect neat and easy as shooting "shooting facial recognition" is, of course, a smile automatically shoot "photography Smiles" and the "eyes flicker recognition features "to a level of the digital video camera has become available to implement it.
In addition to being part of the digital camera and wide-angle 30mm DSLR camera, and up to 1cm in the feature film shooting is possible to mount a Super Macro capability.
Filmed a short distance than the wide-angle camera with a wide-screen film technology is available, and a Super Macro chogeungeorie effective when taking on the functions of objects, some of the current products only digital cameras will be mounted digital camera technology support is not enough to achieve This technique is known as difficult.
Samsung Techwin gimgyeongsu executive director imaging business, "the current 2 million pixel camera phone module is a universal product and 3 million pixels, but more than 5 million pixel camera phone gohwaso module to the mass-production companies in the world, only a few companies. Optical Moreover, Zoom to develop modules three times, the only mass production of the domestic companies as Samsung, the world does not exist, there are only 2-3.
The successful development of the module is that camera phones and technology-intensive products, products include 8 million pixels corresponding choechoda world, "said Samsung's digital technology on the basis of optical module, the world's leading maker of camera phones will be out of position to further strengthen it.
Meanwhile, Samsung has come from the second half of this product is expected to proceed with full-scale mass production, domestic and overseas companies, as well as digital cameras, mobile phones and portable multimedia device manufacturers to supply samples from May and plans to conduct promotions.
Mr Schmidt says he is concerned about the openness of the net
Any deal between Yahoo and Microsoft could be "bad for the internet", according to the head of Google.
Chief executive Eric Schmidt said that Google was "concerned" about a deal and said it could have implications for the "openness" of the internet.
Last month Microsoft proposed a buyout of Yahoo for $44.6bn, a deal that was rejected by Yahoo's board.
At the time, experts said that the buyout was an attempt by Microsoft to challenge Google's dominance.
"We would be concerned by any kind of acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft," Mr Schmidt said at a conference in Beijing.
"We would hope that anything they did would be consistent with the openness of the internet, but I doubt it would be."
Last gasp
He highlighted the software firm's past history and "the things that it has done that have been so difficult for everyone".
In 2004 the European Commission fined Microsoft 497m euros for abusing its market dominance, a ruling the US company finally lost on appeal in September last year.
Yahoo has tried to fend off the bid from Microsoft
The Commission has since launched two new competition inquiries against Microsoft.
"We are concerned that there are things Microsoft could do that would be bad for the internet," said Schmidt.
His comments echo those of David Drummond, Google's chief legal officer, who has previously said that any deal could exert an "inappropriate... influence" over the internet.
"This is about more than simply a financial transaction, one company taking over another. It's about preserving the underlying principles of the internet: openness and innovation," he said in a company blog earlier this month.
Earlier this month, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said the company would gain market share against Google in search and advertising, even if led to his "last breath" at the firm.
Decision delayed
Last week a contingent of Microsoft executives met up with their Yahoo counterparts in California.
No investments bankers attended Monday's meeting, nor was there any discussion about whether Microsoft was willing to raise its offer, according to reports.
Yahoo has been exploring different ways to fend off Microsoft since the bid was first launched six weeks ago. Possible alliances include with social networking site MySpace, web portal AOL or even Google.
Rupert Murdoch, the chief executive of News Corp, which owns MySpace, has downplayed interest in Yahoo whilst AOL has outlined plans to buy social network Bebo, making a deal more complicated..
Any deal between Google and Yahoo, could fall foul of antitrust regulations, according to analysts.
However, reports suggest that Yahoo is in no rush to make any decision.
The firm had been given a deadline of 14 March by shareholders to nominate candidates to supplant its current board. Last week, Yahoo postponed the deadline from Friday to 10 days after it announces its annual meeting.
The meeting will not be announced before April and may not be confirmed until after the firm's first quarter results are released, according to reports.
Microsoft has threatened an attempt to oust Yahoo's 10 directors if it can't broker an amicable takeover.
Voyage into space to view Earth's weather patterns
A planetarium incorporating some of the world's most advanced digital projection technology is due to open in the south of England in March.
The Intech science centre near Winchester receives data from Nasa, other space agencies and weather bureaux to produce current images of space and Earth.
Engineers are still designing shows that make best use of the hi-tech centre, with an interstellar presentation being the first display planned for the planetarium's launch.
Critic's view of the interplanetary spectacle
Six projectors positioned to the nearest millimetre are focused on a 16.5 metre diameter dome.
Presenters of shows can alter images instantly at the touch of a button.
The technology to change such complex displays within seconds has only been possible in recent years.
It will allow each show to be tailored to the age and interests of each audience.

Online advert system Phorm is illegal in the UK, the Foundation for Information Policy Research (Fipr), has argued in an open letter.
BT, Talk Talk and Virgin have all signed up to use Phorm, which targets adverts to users based on web habits.
Fipr believes Phorm contravenes the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (Ripa), which protects users from unlawful interception of information.
Phorm and BT have said the technology does not breach any UK laws.
The debate over the deployment of Phorm, legal or otherwise, is based on the interpretation of Ripa.
Fipr has written an open letter to the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas in which it argues that Phorm must not only seek the consent of web users but also of website operators.
Phorm's system works by "trawling" websites visited by users and then matches keywords from the content of the page to a profile.
Users are then targeted with adverts that are more tailored to their interests on websites that have signed up to Phorm's technology.
Dextre will remove the need for some spacewalks in future
Astronauts have attached arms to the space station's new robot, Dextre.
Richard Linnehan and Michael Foreman completed the task during a gruelling spacewalk outside the orbiting platform that lasted more than seven hours.
The robot, which is properly called the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator, will in future do much of the external work on the space station.
The 1.5-tonne, 4m-long machine was brought up to the platform by shuttle Endeavour on Tuesday.
It was packed in parts on a travel pallet and needs to be reassembled before it can begin work.
During the mission's first spacewalk on Friday, Dextre's hands were fitted to its arms. Now those arms have been attached to the robot's torso.
Dextre will be used to install and remove small payloads such as electronics boxes, computers and batteries.
It will be controlled by astronauts from inside the platform or even by ground controllers.
Endeavour's astronauts and the resident crew on the space station have continued to outfit the new Japanese Logistics Module which was also lofted on Tuesday.
This is a storage facility for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (Jaxa) Kibo laboratory, the main section of which will travel to the station on the next shuttle flight.

Whether you're using a desktop or laptop computer, there's a good chance that if you stop what you're doing and listen carefully, you'll hear the whirring of a small fan. If your computer has a high-end video card and lots of processing power, you might even hear more than one.
In most computers, fans do a pretty good job of keeping electronic components cool. But for people who want to use high-end hardware or coax their PCs into running faster, a fan might not have enough power for the job. If a computer generates too much heat, liquid cooling, also known as water cooling, can be a better solution. It might seem a little counterintuitive to put liquids near delicate electronic equipment, but cooling with water is far more efficient than cooling with air.

See more liquid-cooled PC pictures.
A liquid-cooling system for a PC works a lot like the cooling system of a car. Both take advantage of a basic principle of thermodynamics - that heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects. As the cooler object gets warmer, the warmer object gets cooler. You can experience this principle firsthand by putting your hand flat on a cool spot on your desk for several seconds. When you lift your hand, your palm will be a little cooler, and the spot where your hand was will be a little warmer.
Liquid cooling is a very common process. A car's cooling system circulates water, usually mixed with antifreeze, through the engine. Hot surfaces in the engine warm the water, cooling themselves off in the process.
Click on "Start" to see the fluid flow through the engine as the engine warms up.
The water circulates from the engine to the radiator, a system of fins and tubes with a lot of exterior surface area. Heat moves from the hot water to the radiator, causing the water to cool off. The cool water then heads back to the engine. At the same time, a fan moves air over the outside of the radiator. The radiator warms the air, cooling itself off at the same time. In this way, the engine's heat moves out of the cooling system and into the surrounding air. Without the radiator's surfaces making contact with the air and dispelling the heat, the system would just move the heat around instead of getting rid of it.
A car engine generates heat as a byproduct of burning fuel. Computer components, on the other hand, generate heat as a byproduct of moving electrons around. A computer's microchips are full of electrical transistors, which are basically electrical switches that are either on or off. As transistors change their states between on and off, electricity moves around in the microchip. The more transistors a chip contains and the faster they change states, the hotter the chip gets. Like a car engine, if the chip gets too hot, it will fail.
Most computers dispel this heat with heat sinks and fans. Heat sinks are basically pieces of metal that provide lots of surface area for the air to touch. The chip warms the heat sink, the heat sink warms the air, and the fan moves the warm air out of the PC case.
Image courtesy HowStuffWorks Shopper A heat sink uses lots of surface area to transfer heat from electronic components to the air.
This system works most of the time, but sometimes, electronic components produce more heat than simple air circulation can dispel. High-end chips with lots of transistors can overwhelm an air-cooling system. So can chips that have been overclocked, or manually set to work at faster than their default speed.
Cooling with Liquid
A liquid-cooling system for a PC is a lot like a cooling system for a car. Coolant flows through channels in a car's engine block, and the rest of the cooling system incorporates:
A pump that moves coolant through the system
A radiator that dispels heat into the air
A fan that moves air over the radiator
A coolant reservoir that holds extra fluid and allows easy addition of coolant
Hoses that connect the different parts of the system
Image courtesy Darrin GatewoodThese water blocks can cool a GPU, a CPU and a northbridge.
Many electronic components do not tolerate direct contact with liquid. So instead of using channels to pump liquid directly through microchips as in a car engine, a liquid-cooled PC uses water blocks. A water block is a piece of heat-conductive metal, like copper or aluminum, that's filled with hollow tubes and channels. The bottom of the water block is a flat piece of metal that sits directly on top of the chip being cooled. Thermal paste between the chip and the block improves the heat transfer between the two surfaces. The chip heats the block, and the water absorbs the heat as it flows through all the channels.
Many central processing unit (CPU) water blocks are universal, but some graphics processing unit (GPU) water blocks only work with specific chips. You can also find water blocks designed to cool other high-temperature chipsets, like the northbridge, which connects your CPU to your memory. Usually, small bolts and washers attach the water block to the necessary printed circuit board (PCB), such as the motherboard or video card.
The rest of a liquid-cooling system's components are much like those found in a car's cooling system. Most liquid-cooled PCs have:
A pump
A radiator
A fan
A coolant reservoir
Tubing
A centrifugal pump like the one used in your car
The pump is usually a centrifugal pump, much like you'd find in a car's cooling system. Some liquid-cooling pumps are submersible, and you can place them directly inside the coolant reservoir. Others need to be kept dry. If you're thinking about using a submersible pump, make sure its exterior doesn't get hot enough to heat all the fluid in the reservoir.
The pump is one of the most important parts of the system. Its flow rate determines how quickly the coolant moves through the tubes and blocks. If the water moves too quickly, it doesn't have time to absorb heat before moving on. If it moves too slowly, too much heat can build up around sensitive components. The complexity of the system affects the overall flow rate – the more resistance the fluid encounters within the blocks and radiator, the slower the overall flow rate.
The pump also has to be strong enough to move the liquid from the lowest point in the system to the highest. This is known as head pressure or vertical pressure, and it's especially important when liquid cooling tall server towers.

The system's radiator can be designed specifically for liquid-cooling systems, or it can be the heater core from a car. Heater cores dispel lots of heat – they provide the warm air for a car's heating system in the winter. However, they're not usually as attractive as radiators that are designed for use with a liquid-cooling system.
Not every liquid-cooled system has a fan, but most use one to help the radiator dispel heat faster. Similarly, not every system has a separate reservoir. Those that don't generally have a fill/bleed line for adding coolant and removing extra air from the system. Usually, the fill/bleed line leads to a filling port at the top of the computer's case.
Image courtesy Darrin GatewoodMany cooling reservoirs fit into a computer's drive bay.
In a liquid-cooled PC, the tubing presents a special challenge. It has to be flexible enough to connect components that may be at odd angles to one another. But it can't be prone to kinking – a kinked hose can severely restrict the flow of fluid through the system.
In a simple system, a tube connects the pump to the inlet of a water block. Separate tubes run from the water block's outlet to the radiator and the radiator to the reservoir, which often sits in one of the computer's CD-ROM bays. The final tube connects the reservoir back to the pump. For systems with multiple water blocks, tubes connect one block's outlet to the next block's inlet, connecting the blocks in series like a daisy chain.
Many electrical components can short-circuit when exposed to liquid, but some liquids can both dispel heat and act as electrical insulators. One such liquid is cooking oil. Check out what happens when you submerge a computer in oil at the Toms Hardware site or at Eppenga.com.
The final component of a liquid-cooling system is the liquid itself. Many people use distilled water, since tap water contains contaminants that can cloud the system or clog the channels in the water blocks and radiator. Specialized additives can add color to the fluid, making it more visually appealing when used in a clear case. They can also lower the freezing point or surface tension of the water, making it a more effective coolant. Finally, some additives have antimicrobial or anti-corrosion ingredients, which can increase the life of the system.
Image courtesy Darrin GatewoodIn an operational system, tubes carry coolant to and from water blocks.
If you decide to install a liquid-cooling system in your computer, it's a good idea to let the pump circulate the fluid for a while so you can check for leaks. Keep your computer turned off during this test period so you'll be less likely to damage your hardware if a leak does occur.
Once you're sure that everything is watertight, boot up the computer. You can check the temperature of your components in your computer's BIOS menu or by using a third-party application that monitors temperature. If necessary, you can also apply smaller heat sinks to RAM chips and other higher-temperature components in your system.

Ferrari's press conference here in Detroit was rather short and to the point. They reminded us that Kimi is World Champion and that the team is busy readying his defense. They also pointed out that the F430 GT is doing a bang-up job in GT2. And then they talked about the street cars. Besides telling us that Ferrari had a record year, with sales up 8% to 6,400 units worldwide, they also showed the E85 ethanol-powered version of the F430 Spider we talked about yesterday. The F430 Spider Bio Fuel runs on the familiar mix of 85% natural ethanol and 15% gasoline, which results in a modest 10HP power bump and fuel economy that improves by 5% over the standard gas-only V8. So that means that the sweet-sounding 4.3-liter plant is now good for a true 500 HP.
The bio fuel car on display in Detroit is still labeled a concept, but the company says that it'd like to put it into production as part of its efforts to reduce fuel consumption and cut emissions 40% by 2012. As we mentioned yesterday, the regions where ethanol is readily available – like the Midwest states, Brazil and Sweden – are not major markets for the sportscar maker. But ethanol is already being used in the ALMS and elsewhere, so Ferrari already has some experience with it. We already put in our request to have one in the AB Garage. We'll let you know how that goes.

As gorgeous as the 2009 Corvette ZR1 may be on the outside, it's what is under the skin that gets our blood pumping. Fortunately, GM stripped down its new supercar to the bare essentials and put it on display here at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show.
You can access our gallery of ZR1 chassis photos by clicking on the photo above. We've also got commentary on what you're looking at after the jump.
Ever fancy a super thin TV, even thinner than current LCD? Sony is planning to launch its OLED TV production this year producing 1,000 units of it each month. The first models will have a screen size of 11 inches and just 0.12 inches thick. Pricing however will be expensive with prices expected to be a few times of the current flat panel price. This new technology might have a bright future but for now, I will not expect it to sell mainly because of the price factor.
If Sony releases its OLED TV, they will be the first to do so. This technology will be a joint venture between Sony and Toyota with the actual production being handled by the two. This new expensive TV format will pave way for new technologies to come. Other manufacturers might want to have a look at how Sony is performing and judge it before moving into it themselves. Sony will be hoping that it will be a hit despite its price. No more playing catching up for Sony this time as they will be the first to introduce this new technology to the consumers. I will just keep my fingers cross and see how things will develop when it is out.
With Audi's introduction of the Audi R8 V12 TDI, we got to look at the most unique aspect of this supercar - its diesel engine. Compression-ignition motors may be commonplace everywhere else in the transportation world, but they haven't yet infiltrated the supercar segment. This is no accident, as until now, diesels have offered a poor ratio between power output and weight - not a big problem for cruise ships and the like, but definitely an obstacle to recruiting a high-performance customer. So, how did Audi get around this problem? We've got a gallery full of shots showing the naughty details (you can access it by clicking the photo above or the link below), and if you go below the fold, we'll walk you through what we observed of the engine on display.
