The "stout infantfish" has been identified as the smallest, lightest animal with a backbone. The largest of only six specimen ever found is just 8.4 millimeters long. Stout infantfish swim exclusively near Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. Scientists who studied the fish at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography point out that "roughly 500,000 of these fish weighed together would barely tip the scales at one pound." Link

Three months later, she now weighs 2 pounds 10 ounces. Rumaisa's twin sister Hiba is slightly larger and may leave the hospital this month. Doctors expect Rumaisa to stay for a few additional weeks, but fortunately the prognosis is very good. Link

Anyway, these micro fliers could be used from anything like surveilance to hobby toys. It's a small world after all!

Epson Creates World's Smallest MAV

Epson Creates World's Smallest MAV 11/18/2003 11:32 AM
JCN Newswire says that Epson is claiming to have developed the world's smallest flying microrobot. Epson developed the uFR (Micro Flying Robot) to demonstrate the micromechanics technology using an ultrasonic motor and bluetooth module for remote control. The uFR flys via two contra-rotating propellers and ultrasonic motor that has the world's highest power to weight ratio. The flying robot can balance in mid-air using the world's first linear actuator stabilizer mechanism. Epson sold previous Micro Air Vehicle versions such as the EMRos and the Monsieur flying robots, so I'm wondering if this one will be out by Christmas to fly around my living room?

BrailleNote PK: World's Smallest PDA for
the Blind

BrailleNote PK: World's Smallest PDA for
the Blind 06/30/2004 11:10 AM

The BrailleNote PK is the world's smallest PDA for the blind, and one of the first small enough to be carried around for daily use. Powered by Windows CE, the relatively small [6.8" x 3.6" x 1.3"] unit has a mix of high-end and low-end features, with a wide variety of communications options such as Bluetooth and WiFi, Ethernet, and USB, but a relatively small amount of RAM [16MB User/16MB RAM/32MB ROM], and somewhat surprisingly (I'm serious), no LCD screen. In fact, all interfacing with the BrailleNote is done via a built-in 180cell Braille display and an 8-key Braille keyboard. The unit also supports text-to-speech out support, although not speech-to-text, if I read correctly.

It looks like a great unit, but it comes with a very steep price. The BrailleNote PK lists for just under $5,000. With the amount of geeky freedom this would afford many, though, it just might be worth it.

Cory Doctorow: A Welsh brewery in a 5'-square former toilet has reopened, brewing beer for the pub next door: it is the "world's smallest brewery."

Margaret and Mark Phillips, who own the Tynllidiart Arms and the brewery, said the beer had a secret recipe.

"The previous owner of the pub moved out two years ago and up until two weeks ago the pub was closed and the brewery was too," said Mr Phillips, who moved in just two weeks ago.

"We thought it would be nice to brew our own local beer and luckily we had a brewer living a few doors down who was able to help.

Oregon Scientific MP100: Another World's
Smallest

Oregon Scientific MP100: Another World's
Smallest 08/18/2004 08:38 AM

Oregon Scientific is taking a stab at the "World's Smallest MP3 Player" title, but considering they don't throw a quarter or a finger or something into the picture Tech-Digest has (which can be added to the pictures on their barely-functional site for a total of... one) doesn't really tell us much. What we do know, though, is that the £90 (~$165) MP100 player has only 128MB of flash memory, so you pretty much wrinkle your nose at it, too, no matter how tiny it is.

There are other players being launched, too, including the MP130 with an SD/MMC expansion slot. (See, a little expansion never hurt no one.) And the MP140, not out for a few months, is listed as having a "transparent display." Barring marketing gobbledegook, that could be pretty interesting, considering that MP140 is only 6.6mm thick.

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome 08/19/2004 07:35 AM

See, I saw that Epson had released a new model of their "World's Lightest Micro-Flying Robot" - you know, the one that was a big deal late last year - and thought, "We've already talked about that. Nobody will be interested." I was wrong, according to the emails, though, so I guess I better mention it. The biggest difference between the old model and the new one is that the update appears to be running untethered, although it still flies with a bit of a wobble. It's too small to be used outside, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some implementation of these available for purchase soon. Although they have serious uses, too - investigating accident scenes, etc. - with the Bluetooth and built-in camera, it would make a perfect office toy, until you were fired for industrial espionage.

Also, could the girl in the video be any less excited?

Toshiba Develops Prototype "World's

PCWorld is reporting that Toshiba is releasing a fuel cell this year that is being billed as the "World's Smallest," an always-dubious claim, but undeniably appealing, as Toshiba's .9 by 2.2 by .4 inch cell can produce 100 milliwatts of power over 20 hours with just two cubic centimeters of methanol. Oh, actually, as I read this again the small unit a prototype -- it's a notebook-class version they intend to release later in the year, which we sort of already knew about.

At present, the site only has a brief description and a photo but it sounds like the creator may be releasing the design as Open Hardware soon.

Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp

Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp 09/15/2004 05:44 AM

Two years ago I marched in protest against the Japan National ID. Last year, after we failed, a few cities and prefectures resisted. Yokohama took the position that the bill was illegal because it required privacy protection and the privacy bill had not passed. They allowed citizens to opt out and an whopping 24% of their citizens opted out. Now that the privacy bill of the central government is in place, Yokohama is being forced to "normalize" with the central government. Last year, I accepted an appoint to the Yokoyama personal information protection committee which would oversee their integration of the national ID system with the hope that I could help them in their resistance. Today, almost a year after the first meeting, I spent the afternoon in what was basically a rubber stamp session. We voiced our opinions, but at this point there really wasn't much choice. These inquiry committee are constitutionally defined organs for people to interact with the law making process, but I felt more like a cog with a rubber stamp than a participant in a democracy.

"Yahoo! News reports, 'Designed by Thomas Rathgeb, a graphic artist who works for Swiss Post, the stamps are made from 120-year-old pines felled in northern Switzerland. 'Rathgeb's design focuses on the sustainability and uniqueness of this natural, living material — the structure of the wood, integrated into the contemporary design, produces a different picture on each stamp. This makes each stamp unique, just as each tree is unique,' said Swiss Post."
