#Fujifilm and imec Develop Full-Color Organic light-emitting diodes Organic EL displays are used increasingly for televisions, mobile devices including smartphones as well as wearable devices.

Since they can be made thin and flexible, while also offering excellent response time and contrast ratio.

It is said that today's products require organic EL displays of high pixel density, i e. around 200ppi for 4k televisions, 500ppi for full HD mobile devices and even higher density for compact displays for wearable devices.

There has been active R&d for organic semiconductors to develop a high-resolution patterning method for organic EL materials to be used in these products.

This research result is to be presented at the SID Display Week, one of the world's largest international exhibitions for information displays, held in San jose, California from May 31 to June 5, 2015.

Since the commencement of joint research in November 2012, Fujifilm and imec have broken through the boundary of conventional technology to contribute to the progress of technology associated with organic semiconductors, e g.,

and computer software to analyze the images and identify them by comparing them to other, known bacteria.

The software uses a machine-learning algorithm the sort computers connected to security cameras might use for automated facial recognition.

They then applied software they designed to the analysis, which used a conventional approach to statistical classification known as machine learning a sorting strategy based on pattern similarities that has been used extensively in applications like facial recognition software.

This was the first time anyone had applied machine learning to Fourier Transform light scattering data, Park said. They are now looking to extend their initial work to see

In principle, the approach could be scaled up to screen for contaminated food or suspicious packages i

#Synchronous Computer Operates on Water Droplets Infused with Magnetic nanoparticles The computer is nearly a decade in the making,

Because of its universal nature, the droplet computer can theoretically perform any operation that a conventional electronic computer can crunch,

or to operate word processors on this, "Prakash said.""Our goal is to build a completely new class of computers that can precisely control

and manipulate physical matter. Imagine if when you run a set of computations that not only information is processed

Computer clocks are responsible for nearly every modern convenience. Smartphones, DVRS, airplanes, the Internet without a clock, none of these could operate without frequent and serious complications.

Nearly every computer program requires several simultaneous operations each conducted in a perfect step-by-step manner. A clock makes sure that these operations start

"The reason computers work so precisely is that every operation happens synchronously; it's what made digital logic so powerful in the first place,

A magnetic clockdeveloping a clock for a fluid-based computer required some creative thinking. It needed to be easy to manipulate,

"Prakash said the most immediate application might involve turning the computer into a high-throughput chemistry and biology laboratory.

and the droplet computer offers unprecedented control over these interactions. From the perspective of basic science, part of why the work is so exciting,

Right now, anyone can put these circuits together to form a complex droplet processor with no external control something that was a very difficult challenge previously,

000 times faster than the Nand flash storage used in memory cards and computers'solid state drives (SSDS).

and is the invention of Intel and Micron. The two US companies predict a wide range of benefits, from speeding up scientific research to making more elaborate video games.

One expert described it as a"huge step forward"."""There are other companies who have talked about new types of memory technology,

Intel is marketing it as the first new class of"mainstream memory "since 1989. 3d XPOINT retains data

when the power is switched off-one of its key advantages over RAM (random access memory), which remains faster.

Rather than pitch it as a replacement for either flash storage or RAM, the company suggests it will be used alongside them to hold certain data"closer"to a processor

so that it can be accessed more quickly than before. Why do need we faster storage? The flash storage in my smartphone and PC seems more than fast enough to view

and record the photos and videos I want. Because there are other situations where using today's storage slows things down

And it would also prove a boon to video game-makers. At present, level designs are limited by how much data can be stored in the RAM-or, strictly, a type of RAM chip called dynamic RAM (DRAM.

That's why players sometimes have to halt their play while they wait for the machine to load a new section.

"Intel executive Rob Crooke says.""So, you have to shuffle them all around to get one new one in there."

Intel suggests not. Solid state drives-and even slower hard disks-will remain significantly cheaper than 3d XPOINT for some time to come,

so it makes sense to continue using them to store most files. The suggestion is the new technology will normally be used instead as an intermediary step.

Rather than copy data directly from the slower types of storage into RAM, programs will anticipate

why not just use it to replace RAM altogether? RAM's speed advantage over traditional storage has made long it the chip of choice to funnel data directly into processors.

However, because it is relatively expensive to produce, computer makers tend to restrict how much they include.

Each megabyte of 3d Xpoint will certainly be significantly cheaper than the equivalent amount of RAM.

And the new technology has added the advantage of being nonvolatile, meaning it does not"forget"information

But, unfortunately it is still not quite as fast as RAM, and some-but not all-applications need the extra speed the older tech provides.

is there ever an advantage to using 3d Xpoint instead of, rather than in addition to, RAM or flash?

Online gaming companies might want to substitute 3d Xpoint for RAM. At present, the amount of players that can be hosted on a single server is limited by the amount of RAM it contains.

Switching to 3d Xpoint would cause only a small-and possibly unnoticeable-difference to the performance of many of the simpler titles.

One instance when you might want to use the new chips instead of flash would be to store operating system files that are required every time you boot up your machine.

Many users have experienced already faster switch on times on new computers thanks to such files being kept on SSDS rather than disk drives.

"says Intel's marketing director Greg Matson. Whether that proves tempting will depend on exactly what 3d Xpoint costs and just how precious your time is s
