Aerion Mouse

Posted on December 21, 2015 by

Aerion Mouse is a gesture-driven computer mouse that’s somewhat smaller than traditional mice. It gets placed between the top of any two of the user’s fingers. The user then points the mouse at the display to operate it and, instead of clicking on any buttons, just leans to the left to achieve what a typical left click on a mouse would and leans to the right for a right click. One main benefits to Aerion is that it allows one to keep fingers close to a typing position without having to grab a se...

It can retype text 30 times faster than manual typing, and your computer will read out loud what you have scan...

Stanford team combines logic, memory to build a ‘high-rise’ chip.

Posted on October 6, 2015 by

Stanford researchers are building layers of logic and memory into skyscraper chips that are smaller, faster, cheaper and taller. They have created a four-layer prototype high-rise chip in which the bottom and top layers are logic transistors. Sandwiched between them are two layers of memory. The vertical tubes are nanoscale electronic "elevators" that connect logic and memory, allowing them to work together to solve problems. The circuit cards are like busy cities in which logic chips compute...

Personalized heart models for surgical planning

Posted on September 29, 2015 by

A new system can convert MRI scans into 3D-printed, physical models in a few hours. Researchers at MIT and Boston Children’s Hospital have developed a system that can take MRI scans of a patient’s heart and, in a matter of hours, convert them into a tangible, physical model that surgeons can use to plan surgery. The models could provide a more intuitive way for surgeons to assess and prepare for the anatomical idiosyncrasies of individual patients. MRI data consist of a series of cross ...
