My latest TheFeature article is about ways to make tiny batteries last for years.

At Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., researchers are trying to make a nuclear-powered battery with a very long life span. They've built prototype batteries that use a speck of nickel-63 (a radioactive isotope) to vibrate a tiny cantilever. The cantilever could be made from a piece of piezoelectric material, which could supply power to the sensor. Nickel-63 has a half-life of around 100 years, so it could provide power for several decades. Nukes make people nervous, but there's not enough radioactive material in the prototype to cause a mini-meltdown -- it's comparable to the amount found in a smoke detector. Still, researchers acknowledge that they have a perception problem to overcome.

SK-Earthlink Links South Korean Mobile
Operator, Earthlink Networks 02/01/2005 09:13 PM
Mobile operator SK Telecom and Earthlink Networks launch 3G/Wi-Fi combo firm: Sky Dayton is the CEO of SK-Earthlink, a new MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that will sign up end users with the promise of integrated Wi-Fi and third-generation cellular data networks for voice and data through a single handset. Dayton founded Earthlink and Boingo Wireless. SK Telecom provides service to 18 million customers in South Korea, and their sister company in the SK Group, SK Teletech, makes advanced handsets for domestic use and internationally to China, Israel, Kazakhstan, and Taiwan. Dayton said in an interview today that SK Telecom offers a remarkable array of handsets including units with hard drives, five megapixel cameras, and satellite television broadcast receivers. "Not all those things are going to be applicable in a US market," Dayton said. The service will attempt to leverage the growing availability of 3G networks with the increased ubiquity of Wi-Fi hotspots. Dayton says that although handsets and service plans won't be available until as late as the end of 2005, that generally SK-Earthlink would focus on allowing its customers to make voice calls from home Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi hotspots, and 3G cellular networks. They would also leverage Wi-Fi alongside 3G in offering advanced data and entertainment services, although he did not mention specifics. "We think there's a big group of Internet savvy early adopter" consumers in the US who want this but can't get it, he said. SK-Earthlink may use Boingo's platform as the base on which they develop hotspot relationships--Dayton will have an arm's length involvement in that decision--but Boingo will certainly also continue to sell to other carriers regardless. Other reports note that SK-Earthlink will use CDMA technology, SK Telecom's flavor, which ties them closely in the U.S. to Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS, the only two remaining CDMA carriers here. Verizon has already deployed a significant portion of their ambitious EVDO network offering speeds of hundreds of kilobits per second, and Sprint PCS is committed to higher-speed offerings than its current 1xRTT rate that compares to modem speeds. At the same time, Verizon Wireless said recently that 3G will trump Wi-Fi, a sentiment that baffles Dayton. "Wi-Fi is an unstoppable force," he said. "It's like trying to deny there's a big elephant in the room." Both technologies "are great individually, but if you put them together" they allow the best connection wherever a user...

ThereminVision Sensor

ThereminVision Sensor 05/01/2004 04:05 PM
Terry Fritz, well known among Tesla coil experimenters, has created a new variant on the e-field sensor for use in mobile robots. He calls his creation ThereminVision. Not satisfied with the sensitivity of the Motorola e-field sensor, Terry came up with a more sensitive, digital version optimized for use as a proximity detector for robots. The ThereminVision sensor can detect capacitance levels 1/10000th the size of the Motorola sensors minimum. While the Motorola sensor was designed to detect a human body in a car seat, for example, the ThereminVision sensor can detect virtually any small object with a density higher than that of styrofoam. It achieves this sensitivity by using a technique similar to that employed in the Theremin. A kit version of the sensor can be purchased online. The documentation includes schematics, PCB layouts, and photos of a prototype robot using the sensors. Want more details on what makes Terry's e-field sensor different from the Motoroal chip? Read on for an in depth explanation Terry offered.

Canesta Equinox 3-D Sensor

Canesta Equinox 3-D Sensor 08/10/2004 01:50 PM
Canesta has announced a new 3-D image sensor that could have applications in machine vision and robotics. What's it do? According to Canesta, the Equinox chip resolves a scene into pixels, as does an ordinary camera chip, but instead of simply providing the brightness of each pixel, Equinox additionally provides the distance from each picture element to the sensor chip. On the downside, the device only provides a 64x64 pixel image and only MS-based, proprietary development software is available at present. Canesta claims it will be a "low-cost" sensor but there's no word yet on a price. At present the sensor is only available as part of a development kit for $7,500. For more technical details, see the developement platform data sheet (PDF format). You can also read more about the sensor in CNET and EE Times articles.

Igor Carron of the DARPA Grand Challenge Pegasus Team writes, "we are committing ourselves to provide the rest of the robotics community some of the data we gather during our trial runs. We expect these trial runs to be more sophisticated as we go along. Probably one of the unusual decision we have made for this vehicle is to not have range sensors such as laser SICK, ultrasound or radar. Our sensor module features an IMU with information on acceleration (3-axis), rotation information (3-axis), heading (3-axis), a GPS and one or several cameras (.jpg or .bmp taken at 10-20 Hz). Because we do not believe the issue is about how to gather data but to make sense of them, these data are provided free of charge and are licensed under the GNU GPL."
