Sanyo Creates Smallest FM Tuner Yet

Sanyo Creates Smallest FM Tuner Yet 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

sanyo_FM.jpg imageSanyo has developed a tiny FM tuner chip that is roughly half the size of current tuners on the market; they're calling it the "Easy Radio IC." It requires no other parts to operate and even has an upcoming version that can tune in AM as well (that's coming in September). At just 5mm wide, there's not any reason that any portable music player should be without FM radio, unless the manufacturer is just too stubborn to put it in.

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?

Sanyo Announces New CEO


Sanyo Announces New CEO 04/08/2005 10:39 AM

Sanyo Electric Corporation announced on the 8th that they have a new CEO coming in, named Tomoyo Nonaka. This is a significant move for the company as she is replacing Toshimasa Iue, grandson of Sanyo founder Toshio Iue.

Tomoyo Nonaka is female. I wouldn't really bother to point this out in fear of all the hate mail Joel will receive, but it's Japan. Women's rights still have a very, very long way to go over there (particularly in the corporate world), and this a step in the right direction. Tomoyo Nonaka's experience is plentiful, from being a newscaster to CEO of Asahi Beer.

Sanyo Xacti C4


Sanyo Xacti C4 08/23/2004 08:53 AM

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/images/xacti_c4.jpg" alt="xacti_c4.jpg image" width="398" height="211" class="center"/>Sanyo has updated its Xacti flash camcorder line from the C1 model to these new C4s, which appear to have a few nice improvements for those who go tapeless, including a video stabilizer, an upgraded four-megapixel CCD for still images, and a slightly larger LCD screen (1.8-inch instead of 1.5-inch). There are some other slight changes, as well, but it doesn't look like the video quality is any better; we're still talking VGA (640 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second). Not bad, but not an upgrade, either.

The new colors are nice, too, and I do love this form factor. It's much more usable than I had first thought, and the docking stations make them really handy. (Thanks, Martin!)

In addition, Pentax has a new DSLR (called the "*ist" - what is it with camera companies and unpronounceable names? Asteriskist? Wildcardist? Starist? Multiplyist? Fireballist?) and a pistol-grip hybrid camera/camcorder coming out, as well.

Adaptec's USB 2.0 TV tuner 12/03/2003 12:19 PM
Anyone who has ever used an external USB TV tuner to try and watch or record TV shows with their PC has probably discovered how the relatively slow speed of USB 1.1 translates into relatively low-quality video. This probably isn't the first one of these on the market, but there's a new external USB 2.0 TV tuner for PCs from Adaptec that all but solves that problem. The VideOh! DVD Media Center USB 2.0 Edition comes with software for automatically recording TV shows as MPEG1 or MPEG2 files and DVD creation software for archiving those same shows once you've run out of space on your hard drive.

Sanyo VPC-C3 Digital Media Camera


Sanyo VPC-C3 Digital Media Camera 01/04/2005 09:01 AM

sanyo_vpcc4.jpg imageIf you're wondering how Sanyo can cram an 8-megapixel sensor into this new VPC-C4 camera, I can tell you: cheating. It's really just a 4-megapixel unit which can use interpolation to upscale the resolution of the shots. That's a not a bad thing, really, but it will provide results far different than those from a true 8-megapixel camera.

The VPC-C4 shares the form factor and much of the feature set of its predecessor, the Fisher FVD-C1 and other Xacti models, although it is improved in almost every way. It still uses just an SD card for storage, for better and for worse.

gecube_stktv.jpgThe Inquirer continues their excellent coverage of Computex 2005, including a shot of this GeCube GC-STK-TV, a USB TV tuner so small that its antenna is larger than the circuitry. It doesn't look quite ready for a released product, of course, but something that small could be very handy for the traveling types who have run out of DVDs and Bit Torrents.

There's probably not very much chance GeCube specifically will release a model here in the States, but the technology is there, so someone will.

tn_flexbats.jpg imageDouble A rechargeable batteries are by far the most commonly used, but there are definitely times when C-cell and D-cell batteries would be handy to have around. Rather than provide rechargeable cells in a variety of sizes, Sanyo's Family Battery Charger Kit comes with four AA batteries and a set a 'FlexBat' adapters, hollow plastic cylinders that act as spacers to allow you to use the rechargeable AAs inside C- or D-cell-sized spaces. Of course, the AA cells won't run as long as the larger cells would, but in a pinch it's a handy way to always have the size of battery you need available.
