With data transmissions at 6 Gb/s, Samsung expects their new high-speed SSDs to be installed into upcoming… »
MIT researchers have combined a simple physical interface with computer-vision algorithms to create GelSight – a portable imaging system that can achieve resolutions previously possible only with large and expensive lab equipment. The device could provide manufacturers with a way to inspect products too large to fit under a microscope and it shows potential for… »
Last week at Cisco Live in Las Vegas, Samsung unveiled the world’s first zero client monitor which uses Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE) technology.
