"Industry's Smallest" Liquid Lens Driver for Tiny Autofocus Camera Modules

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX14515, a DC-to-AC liquid lens driver for autofocus (AF) camera modules. The MAX14515 features a high-voltage differential output controlled through an I2C interface. It employs a charge-pump topology to reduce the number of external components typically used for autofocus drivers in camera modules. The I2C interface and the charge-pump topology are combined in a tiny 2mm x 1mm WLP, making the MAX14515 the industry's smallest liquid lens driver. The device is ideal for tiny cell-phone camera modules that use the newest autofocus technologies.

SVG Tiny 1.2 Advances State of the Art for Web Graphics

Creating beautiful and accessible interactive content was made easier today with the release of the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny 1.2 Recommendation. Already implemented and deployed in mobile phones, media centers, and browsers around the world, this open standard allows authors to build documents and interfaces for the Web, with open-source and commercial authoring tools that output open, reusable content. Searchable, internationalized text and user-created metadata bring the Semantic Web to graphics, and improve the experience of users everywhere, while easier programming interfaces put the power in the hands of developers. A test suite helps to ensure interoperable SVG content in modern Web browsers, making it easier than ever to develop and deploy the right look and feel.

Researchers interpret asymmetry in early universe

This colorful display shows tiny differences (or "anisotropies") in the cosmic microwave background over the entire sky. The average temperature is just 2.73 kelvins (2.73 degrees Celsius above absolute zero), and the temperature differences represented here span mere millionths of a degree. Red represents the warmest locations, while blue reveals the coldest spots. These tiny temperature variations map the structure of the early universe. NASA / WMAP Science Team

Look Ma! A Drive-In Theatre for Ants!

"Snickering juvenile humor aside, the technology really is quite impressive. The tiny projector is capable of HVGA resolution (640×240 -- good enough to display a near-Standard Definition quality movie) so I suspect that the first intended application is ad-hoc projection for field use, such as in the military. Two of these tiny units stacked on top of each other could effectively project 640×480 at true VGA, with the appropriate software and hardware to stitch the two images together.

Liquid Lens Driver Trims Space In Autofocus Cameras

Embarking as the smallest available, the MAX14515 dc-to-ac liquid lens driver targets tiny autofocus camera modules with a footprint of 2 mm x 1 mm in a WLP. It delivers a high-voltage differential output through an I2C interface and employs a charge-pump topology to reduce the number of external components. The MAX14515 requires, at most, two small external capacitors: one low-voltage capacitor and a tiny bypass capacitor. The device integrates an eight-bit monotonic DAC with a single differential, high-voltage output to set the amplitude. It delivers up to 42 Vrms into a 200 pF liquid lens load at 1.1 kHz and operates over a temperature range from -40?C to +85?C. Price is $1.50 each/1,000. MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, Sunnyvale, CA.

Much Ado About Nothing In Accusations Over Text Message Pricing

I'm hardly a mobile operator apologist, but the NY Times' Randall Stross is trying to make a pretty tiny molehill into a mountain by picking up on that old, dead story suggesting that mobile operators are somehow ripping users off with SMS text messaging pricing. As was noted when Senator Herb Kohl first tried to make an issue out of this, per message pricing is fairly meaningless, since most users of text messaging subscribe to bulk plans or even unlimited plans. Besides, if pricing really were a problem, then people wouldn't be text messaging so much. The fact that they're using it so much, suggests there really isn't that much of a problem with the pricing. Stross tries to focus on the actual "cost" to the carriers for sending a text message, which is tiny, but that, again, is rather meaningless.

Tiny Diamonds Support Comet Theory

Scientists have long blamed climate change for the mass extinction of animals that took place in North America almost 13,000 years ago. Now some researchers say a comet broke apart and burned the landscape and many of the creatures living on it. The proof is "nanodiamonds," microscopic diamonds they've found in the soil across the continent.
