With many point and shoot digital cameras quickly climbing the megapixel ladder, 6,8, and even ten megapixel ratings are starting to be commonplace. With Transcend SDHC cards, you can keep up with the bigger files these high resolution cameras produce.

Use them in all your mobile devices that support the SDHC standard. It uses the same physical form factor as SD, but SDHC cards only work in SDHC compatible devices.

Basic SD cards transfer information up to six times ( 6x ) the info rate of the standard CD-ROM speed ( 900 kB / s ). Transcend SDHC class 6 cards offer at least six MB / s write speeds under the most demanding storage conditions.

Some cameras need a high speed card to be ready to record video smoothly or capture multiple still footage in fast succession.

Test your device for max compatibility for your intended use patterns. * Compatible with all SDHC-labeled host devices ( not compatible with standard SD ). * permits In System Programming ( ISP ) for updating firmware. However older cameras and other devices that were released before the SDHC standard may not support the new SDHC cards. Memory cards should be bought according to how high the resolution or DPI ( dots per in. ) of your digicam is ( i.e.

How many megapixels it has ), and how many footage you plan on taking at a time.

Sharp expands its Blu-ray family with the introduction of the AQUOS® BD-HP50U Blu-ray Disc™ player that provides Full HD 1080p digital output. When paired with an AQUOS HDTV Liquid Crystal television, the BD-HP50U enables consumers to enjoy the latest Blu-ray Disc™ titles, as well as standard-definition DVDs, in the highest resolution possible.

In addition, the BD-HP50U supports BD-ROM Profile 1.1, or BD Live, the latest version of the Blu-ray format. BD-ROM Profile 1.1 provides secondary audio and video decoders for Picture in Picture (PIP) capability, as well as an external storage.

“The interactive features of the Blu-ray Disc™ format bring a new level of enjoyment to the high-definition movie experience,” said Bob Scaglione, senior vice president and group manager, Product and Marketing Group, Sharp Electronics Corporation. “With the new BD-HP50U, consumers can tap into supplemental information without leaving the movie.”

Interactive features of the BD-HP50U allow consumers to view additional content available on Blu-ray titles — including movie trailers, special subtitles, and director commentary — without stopping the movie. Additional content available on Blu-ray discs includes games, subtitles and audio tracks.

The BD-HP50U comes with state-of-the-art HDMI™ 1.3 digital output, which allows users to send the highest resolution video and audio signals possible to an AQUOS TV via a single cable. The player supports next-generation audio and video options available via HDMI 1.3, including x.c.Color, which expands the range of colors available. The BD-HP50U also supports Lip Sync, which automatically adjusts audio and video signal processing times to remove lip synch errors.

The BD-HP50U is compatible with the latest high-definition digital audio formats. The player outputs the most advanced lossless surround-sound formats including Dolby® TrueHD and DTS HD via 7.1 channel HDMI digital output. The player also decodes Dolby Digital Plus, which provides optimum surround sound for appropriately equipped receivers. Additionally, the player boasts Sharp’s proprietary Quick Start* feature, which takes viewers from disc loading to viewing in less than 10 seconds.

The BD-HP50U outputs 1920 x 1080 video at 24 frames per second, matching the frame rate of the original film. This feature eliminates the need for frame-rate conversion that can cause motion artifacts on film-based material and degrade image quality. Sharp’s built-in AQUOS LINK™ feature allows users to seamlessly control HDMI-connected products via an AQUOS LCD TV screen using a single remote control.

The BD-HP50U can be managed by external control systems via the built-in RS-232C port. The player is compatible with a wide range of formats including BD-ROM/RE/R, DVD Video, DVD-RW/R, DVD+RW/R and audio CDs. Key components of the BD-HP50U, including the Blu-ray laser pick up assembly and drive unit, were built by Sharp, reflecting the company’s goal of creating exceptional products from high-performance devices.

Pricing and Availability

  • The BD-HP50U will be available in May 2008 for a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $699.99.

 

sQuba World's First Underwater Car

Posted on by

SQuba.jpgA pioneering Swiss company has invented, the sQuba.

Other than driving the car on land, it can be driven on sea like a boat and goes underwater like a submarine. It’s the world’s first underwater car and it’s a convertible.

The sQuba will be exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The prototype, which can dive to a depth of 10 metres, is the brainchild of concept car designer Frank Rinderknecht, 52.

Rinspeed’s head, Frank Rinderknecht, is a James Bond enthusiast who has dreamed of making the amphibious vehicle come true.

"For three decades I have tried to imagine how it might be possible to build a car that can fly under water," said Rinderknecht in a statement. "Now we have made this dream come true."

If driven into water it will float and operate as a boat.

Two propellers positioned either side of the rear number plate push it along.

But open a door and the car begins to dive.

Under water, one of its three battery-powered engines sucks in water through the car’s front grille and pushes it out of its two side jet vents. The car can descend up to 10 metres (32.8 feet) underwater.

It is these two jets, mounted on swivelling heads, which manoeuvre the car up, down, left and right.

"It is not an easy task to make a car watertight and pressure-resistant enough to be manoeuvrable underwater."

The team at Mr Rinderknecht’s Switzerland-based firm Rinspeed replaced the Lotus Elise’s petrol engine with three electric motors, one to power the rear wheels and two for the specially designed propellers, fitted either side of the rear numberplate, that allow it to travel underwater.

The car is capable of speeds of up to 120 km/h on land,  6.4 km/h cruising in "boat" mode and  3.2 km/h beneath the surface.

Unlike the Bond original, the modern version has an open top. The interior is made from waterproof plastics, which allow water to drain off when the car surfaces.

The convertible sports car transforms into an underwater vehicle in which passengers breathe with the help of compressed air masks. Occupants have to wear wetsuits to stay dry and breathe air from an integrated tank similar to that used by scuba divers. The vehicle can stay underwater until it runs out of air or battery power, normally about two hours.

"It is undoubtedly not an easy task to make a car watertight and pressure resistant enough to be maneuverable under water," said Rinderknecht. "The real challenge however was to create a submersible car that moves like a fish in water."

The main reason for having an open cabin is safety. Aesthetic appeal aside, the open-top design of the car is actually a safety feature that permits passengers to get out quickly during an emergency and avert the problem of excessive water pressure on the windows of a closed car.

Mr Rinderknecht explained: "Even at one metre depth, the water pressure would keep the doors closed so you could not get out in an emergency. With an enclosed cabin, opening the door might be impossible."

Sadly, those taken by the sQuba may never be able to get their hands on it as there are no plans to put it into production.

"We don’t plan to build it, even in a limited capacity," said Mr Rinderknecht.

"But if someone wants to take up the project that would be great."

The invention will be presented at the car show in Geneva, which opens to the press March 4 and runs for the public from March 6 through March 16.
