Low-cost software turns a PDA into a HART device communicator

ProComSol, Ltd. announces the DevCom2000 PDA, a full-featured HART device configuration software package for the PDA platform. This software grants access to all the features and functionality available in the HART device DD, allowing users to perform complete HART device configurations using their PDAs. This includes monitoring and editing device variables and executing all device DD methods. The software is based on the SDC-625 technology developed by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF). This technology allows full and complete access to all data in the device DD.

Using Java to communicate to a USB device from browser

We have a java web application and now we have a new request: the client wants to communicate with their USB device using our application. They plug the device into their PCs, open a page of our web application and the page will communicate with the device to get some input. Of course the device must already have proper driver. Comunication here means reading some input from the device.

Simple Device Claimed To Boost Fuel Efficiency By Up To 20%

Ponca City, We love you writes "Temple University physics professor Rongjia Tao has developed a simple device that could dramatically improve fuel efficiency in automobiles by as much as 20 percent. The device, attached to the fuel line of a car's engine near the fuel injector, creates an electric field that thins fuel, reducing its viscosity so that smaller droplets are injected into the engine. Because combustion starts at the droplet surface, smaller droplets lead to cleaner and more efficient combustion. Six months of road testing in a diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz automobile showed an increase from 32 miles per gallon to 38 mpg, a 20 percent boost, and a 12-15 percent gain in city driving. 'We expect the device will have wide applications on all types of internal combustion engines, present ones and future ones,' Tao wrote in the stud

Real live photos of the T-Mobile Google Android device surface

Real live photos of the T-Mobile Google Android device surfaceGarett mentioned about some of the mock-up drawings of the rumored HTC Dream Android device, but this weekend we saw Engadget post live photos of the T-Mobile-branded Open Handset Alliance device. These photos help to solidify the rumor that T-Mobile will be launching it sooner rather than later. The display looks to slide up similar to the new T-Mobile Sidekick slider devices and I am sure this will be a point of concern for many folks.

Linux Robot - Watch This Space

"The USB source will be mounted in some kind of housing that the device can very easily and clumsily fit in to. Both the USB source device/charger and the robot itself will contain a radio [definitely 802.11g later], but for now a simple FM oscillator would probably be good. The software will also have access to this radio. The device will maintain contact with it’s base station. IR won’t be any good here as the device needs some kind of a range. I’ll need to assess the practicality of range vs hardware."

'Laser Comb' To Measure the Accelerating Universe

Back in April, UT published an article about using a device called a 'laser comb' to search for Earth-like planets. But astronomers also hope to use the device to search for dark energy in an ambitious project that would measure the velocities of distant galaxies and quasars over a 20-year period. This would let astronomers test Einstein's theory of general relativity and the nature of the mysterious dark energy. The device uses femto-second (one millionth of one billionth of a second) pulses of laser light coupled with an atomic clock to provide a precise standard for measuring wavelengths of light. Also known as an “astro-comb,” these devices should give astronomers the ability to use the Doppler shift method with incredible precision to measure spectral lines of starlight up to 60 times greater than any current high-tech method.

Council Sells Security Hole On Ebay

Barence writes "A security expert was stunned to discover a VPN device he'd bought on Ebay automatically connected to a local council's confidential servers. Bought for just 99p for use at work, when plugged in it automatically connected with the login details which had been carelessly left on the device. 'The whole selling point of the device was that it was extremely easy to configure. It's pretty horrific really,' says the intrusion-detection professional. The council says it is 'deeply concerned' by the news, but is confident that 'multiple layers of security have prevented access to systems and data.'"

Secret-keeper apps for the iPhone

As just about everyone who has ever used one will tell you, the iPhone is truly an amazing device. With its do-everything abilities--especially now with third-party software--it's the kind of device you're likely to carry everywhere. And what better use for a device you'll always have with you than to store important information--Web site logins, bank account information, social security numbers, insurance information, and more. As such, you may be tempted to use the iPhone's Notes program to store these little tidbits of information for fast access.

New Solar Cell Sets World Efficiency Record

asoduk writes to tell us that a new world record has been set for the most efficient photovoltaic device. Topping the scale at 40.8% efficiency, the new solar cell differs significantly from the previous record holder. "Instead of using a germanium wafer as the bottom junction of the device, the new design uses compositions of gallium indium phosphide and gallium indium arsenide to split the solar spectrum into three equal parts that are absorbed by each of the cell's three junctions for higher potential efficiencies. This is accomplished by growing the solar cell on a gallium arsenide wafer, flipping it over, then removing the wafer. The resulting device is extremely thin and light and represents a new class of solar cells with advantages in performance, design, operation and cost.

Review: Palm Treo Pro

The Treo Pro is a culmination of everything that Palm has learned about making a handheld to date, and the result is a great-looking device with a well crafted spec sheet. Palm makes it no secret that their latest Windows Mobile device is targeted at professionals: it's the Treo Pro, not the Treo Consumer. That said, expectation for this device are quite high, but we have some hang ups. Read on for a comprehensive look at the Palm Treo Pro!
