Immersion Motiv: Is This The PlayStation Phone's Dual-Shock?
from www.pcmag.com:
>>Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play, the PlayStation Phone, is coming next week. And though the haptics company Immersion wouldn't quite admit it, I suspect Immersion's new Motiv force-feedback technology will be a key part of the Xperia experience.
>>Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play, the PlayStation Phone, is coming next week. And though the haptics company Immersion wouldn't quite admit it, I suspect Immersion's new Motiv force-feedback technology will be a key part of the Xperia experience.
Immersion stopped by PCMag Labs to show off Motiv and explain how next-generation haptics can enhance the Android smartphone experience. Motiv is an SDK for haptics, which lets Android phone manufacturers and app developers integrate more vibration and physical feedback into their phones. Combined with new piezo vibrators, which are a step beyond the standard phone vibrator, they make for a much more subtle and well-integrated feedback system.
Immersion's MOTIV development platform integrates haptics into Android, we go hands-on
from Engadget:
>>You may know that Immersion's haptic technology is in everything from surgical simulators to game controllers, but we're willing to bet you didn't know it's already baked into over 200 million existing devices -- including every Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and handsets by Nokia and LG. Now, using Android handsets' existing vibrator motors, a cheap software upgrade can inject force feedback into existing elements across the entire Android UI (2.2 and up).

Baptist Memorial in Memphis is adding $7.5M CyberKnife this fall
By Toby Sells
Memphis Commercial Appeal, Memphis TN
February 9, 2011
Baptist Memorial Health Care Corp. is buying a $7.5 million robotic “knife” that will allow its physicians to more accurately pinpoint and remove cancer tumors.
The Tennessee Health Services and Development Agency gave Baptist the green light to buy Accuray’s CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System earlier this month.
The CyberKnife will be installed at the Baptist Center for Cancer Care on the Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis campus on Walnut Grove.
The CyberKnife’s “blade” is a precision-guided beam of radiation that is shot into a patient’s body to remove tumors from numerous spots such as the pancreas, liver, prostate, brain and spine.
...
Saint Francis Hospital-Memphis received approval to buy a CyberKnife in 2008 but has not yet made the purchase. Saint Francis vice president Marilynn Robinson said the approval came with a three-year window to make the purchase and the hospital intends to have one installed before that window closes in September.
The hospital was looking to jointly purchase CyberKnife with a physician group, Robinson said. The delay in making the purchase came as the hospital and the group tried to work out the legalities of the partnership, though they couldn’t make it work, she said.
Baptist made the purchase on the medical guidance of Dr. Jason Weaver, a neurosurgeon with Semmes Murphey Neurologic and Spine Institute who is also on Baptist’s medical staff. The system will allow Baptist to expand its current treatment capability, which now has a wait time of a week or more.
“We felt this was a natural progression to an already robust stereotactic radiosurgery program,” Weaver said. “It’s a natural addition of technology to grow our program.”

Cloud Computing: Bubble or Revolution?
Article available at Seeking Alpha:
- Few technology trends have captured as much popular attention as Cloud Computing. The level of hype associated with the ‘Cloud’ hasn’t been seen since the hoopla created during the Dot.com era. As a result, there has been plenty of debate about whether the Cloud Computing phenomenon is headed to a similar demise.
This quote is taken from a Seeking Alpha article by Jeffrey Kaplan, published in December 2010.
Just a few weeks after Jeffrey's comments, two separate but similar acquisition moves of cloud computing providers, made by Verizon (VZ) and Time Warner Cable (TWC), have investors wondering whether the multiples used in these transactions are a reminder of the past “bubble times” or the sign of a new revolution coming.

Atmel Announces New Generation of maXTouch Solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Atmel® Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML - News), a leader in microcontroller and touch solutions, today announced the maXTouch™ E Series of single-chip capacitive touchscreen controllers for touchscreens from 2 to 12 inches. The mXT224E, mXT384E, mXT540E and mXT768E devices offer enhanced analog sensing with a third generation capacitive touch engine and Atmel's advanced AVR® architecture optimized for capacitive sensing. Offering 224 to 768 nodes, the new series enables system designers to select the industry's most advanced single-chip solution for their touchscreen size and application.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110207/SF43116 )
Since system noise poses the greatest challenge to touchscreen performance, all devices in the maXTouch E Series offer enhanced analog sensing with improvements to maXTouch's industry-leading noise immunity. The enhancements enable system designers to use lower-cost, shieldless touch sensors, or to take advantage of thinner touchscreen configurations with higher levels of integration. These include "touch-on-lens" and "on-cell" configurations, where the touch sensor is patterned on the protective cover lens or on the display panel, respectively. The enhancements also allow the use of noisy, lower-cost displays and chargers for additional system cost savings.
The benefits of the maXTouch E Series extend beyond system designers and on to consumers. With enhanced noise immunity, these devices are the industry's first to allow consumers to simultaneously use a 2mm passive conductive stylus while continuing to support multi-touch. As with the original maXTouch family, the new series offers consumers support of unlimited touches, fast response times, high accuracy, low power, and superior sensitivity to enable the detection of a fingernail or a user with gloves.
Devices in the maXTouch E Series include the mXT224E – the new generation of the best-selling mXT224 device – offering the enhanced E Series touch engine and Atmel's 8-bit AVR architecture optimized for smartphones and other handheld devices.
The mXT768E is the industry's first 32-bit single-chip touch controller for tablets and other large screen applications up to 12-inches. Based on Atmel's ultra-low-power 32-bit AVR architecture, the mXT768E meets the increased demand on signal processing needed for rejecting unintended touches and maintaining responsiveness on large screens. The mXT540E and mXT384E devices, also based on the advanced 32-bit AVR architecture, offer system designers the right price-to-performance selection for their touchscreen designs, and are appropriate for smaller tablets, e-book readers and high- performance smartphones.
"Single-chip touchscreen controller ICs will simplify the device design, reduce cost and reduce power consumption. These are important factors for mobile phones, and even more critical for slate/tablet PCs," said Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, vice president, emerging display technologies at DisplaySearch. "The worldwide market value of touchscreen modules will reach about $14 billion in 2016, from $4.3 billion in 2009."
"Atmel's maXTouch is the leading solution in the smartphone market today," said Peter Jones, vice president of microcontroller and touch business unit, Atmel Corporation. "The success will continue in 2011 with maXTouch powering several tablet touchscreens recently unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show."
"With the launch of the maXTouch E Series, Atmel shows its continued leadership in the touchscreen market by delivering solutions that set a new standard for touchscreen performance," said Jones.
Atmel offers the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of capacitive touchscreen solutions on the market today. The new maXTouch E Series gives manufacturers more single-chip options to design thinner, sleeker, more cost-effective touchscreen devices, while offering consumers the best touch performance possible. Complete solutions are available with the Atmel maXTouch E Series from a variety of ITO partners, LCD suppliers and touch module vendors. Atmel maXTouch solutions are compatible with a number of operating systems including Android™, Linux and Microsoft® Windows®.
Additional information on the Atmel maXTouch mXT E Series is available at: www.atmel.com/maxtouch-e-series. To see Atmel's latest maXTouch videos, visit the Atmel YouTube Channel at www.atmel.com/youtube. Follow Atmel on Twitter at www.atmel.com/twitter and Facebook at www.atmel.com/facebook.

Star Tab, by LG
from Engadget:
>>FoneArena has received shots of what appears to be a Vodafone Germany inventory system, and it's a system currently overflowing with both rumored and heretofore unheard of product names. HTC's Flyer and Pyramid are all but confirmed for a MWC unveiling, while the Desire 2 is popping up on our radar for the first time. We've also been told that LG's Optimus 3D will be fully revealed next week in Barcelona, but the Star Tab? Now that's a new one. Of course, it shouldn't come as any surprise to see a swath of new names pop up just days before the year's most gargantuan mobile show, but it definitely brings about a metric ton of questions. Is the Star Tab a phone? A slate? A unicorn-based gaming console?
