Humanoid robot can read thoughts.
Humanoid robots have learned to understand the thoughts, reports AP. The technology developed by Honda Motor. It is designed for use with the robot Asimo.
Honda Motor engineers have created a special helmet, which is based on an analysis of changes in activity of the brain can determine what people think. Then, the corresponding signal is transmitted to the robot wireless.
However, this technology is imperfect. If a person is distracted, the system may not recognize him, accordingly, the robot does not receive any instructions. In addition, the system of reading the thoughts worked, it is necessary for two to three hours to adjust for each user.
Currently, Honda Motor technology allows the robot Asimo to understand when a person thinks about moving his hands, running or foods. At the signal, and the action of the robot takes a few seconds.
Honda Motors Company is working on humanoid robots in 1986. The first Asimo was demonstrated to the public in 2000. The growth of the robot is 130 centimeters, weight - 54 kilograms.
In summer 2008, Asimo has learned to understand the speech of several people simultaneously. Previously, these robots were taught to work in pairs. In May 2008, Asimo made in the role of the symphony orchestra conductor.

3G Network in Moscow to test frequencies of GSM.
State Commission for Radio Frequencies has allowed the operators to test 3G network in Moscow at frequencies 900/1800 MHz, writes the newspaper Kommersant. These frequencies are currently employs conventional GSM-network. For 3G, typically using 2.1 gigahertz frequency.
MTS and VimpelCom "(brand" Beeline ") emphasize that problems with the construction of networks of third generation mobile communication frequencies 900/1800 MHz will not arise. In particular, the 3G network at a frequency of 900 MHz are already working in Finland.
Australian operator Optus in 2007, tested the 3G network at a frequency of 900 megahertz. As a result, the operator has concluded that such a format is best suited for sparsely populated regions, as well as the coverage of one station operating at 900 megahertz, is much broader than that of the station, which operates at a frequency of 2.1 gigahertz.
Representatives of Qualcomm emphasize that the 900-megagertsevye advantage of 3G networks and in the cities. The construction of two identical networks of 3G base stations operating at 900 megahertz, will be required in 2,2 times less than the stations operating at a frequency of 2.1 gigahertz.
The representative of Vympelcom "reported the newspaper" Vedomosti "that the construction and testing of the network in Moscow 3G, operating at a frequency of 900/1800 MHz, will take six months. ITT expects to test and deliver the Moscow 3G network into commercial operation a year and a half. Plans "megaphone" in Moscow on the construction of 3G networks in the 900/1800 MHz frequency range are not reported.

Farmers will be connected to the Internet a powerful laser.
Staff, University of Melbourne, and NEC have developed a technology that would provide residents of rural areas of Australia's broadband internet access, writes Electronista. Researchers hope that the high power laser can reduce the cost of laying fiber in rural areas.
Currently, developers of technology are experimenting in the Australian state of Victoria, hoping to provide broadband access 99 per cent of its residents. In total there live more than five million people and a population density of about 23 people per square kilometer.
The basis for the experiment was the current gigabit passive optical network. Data transmitted over fiber to the passive splitter, which разводÑÑ‚ signal to households. Typically, the signal fades, passing about thirty kilometers.
The researchers used Raman laser and the output signal increased almost tenfold. They were able to transfer data at speeds of 2.5 gigabita per second over a distance of about sixty kilometers.
The advantage of the new development is to reduce the number of splitters in the two-fold. Disadvantage - more stringent requirements for security channel and other equipment.

Scientists have learned how to charge the batteries for a few seconds.
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has succeeded in developing a material that allows charged lithium-ion batteries for 10-20 seconds, said in an official press release, MIT. An article about the opening of published in the journal Nature.
Lithium-ion power supplies are widely used in portable devices such as mobile phones and laptops. These batteries have high capacity, but their charge takes several hours.
Previously, scientists believed that the charge responsible for the long slow lithium ions. Computer calculations have shown that they, by contrast, must move very quickly. Soon it was discovered that lithium ions can actually move quickly, but it is necessary that the ion with the surface was in a "tunnel" of material.
Scientists, figuratively speaking, was able to create a "ring road" for the lithium ions that allow them to move along the surface until they do not fall into the "tunnel."
Material itself was opened five years ago, and now researchers have only changed the method of its manufacture. Is expected that the sale of new batteries come in two to three years.
