INTEL Cuts Electronic Cords with Wireless

  

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Intel on Thursday showed off a wireless electric power system that analysts say could revolutionize modern life by freeing devices from transformers and wall outlets.

Intel chief technology officer Justin Rattner demonstrated a Wireless Energy Resonant Link as he spoke at the California firm’s annual developers forum in San Francisco.

Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer.

Most importantly, the electricity was transmitted without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.

"The trick with wireless power is not can you do it; it’s can you do it safely and efficiently," Intel researcher Josh Smith said in an online video explaining the breakthrough.

"It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field."

Examples of potential applications include airports, offices or other buildings that could be rigged to supply power to laptops, mobile telephones or other devices toted into them.

The technology could also be built into plugged in computer components, such as monitors, to enable them to broadcast power to devices left on desks or carried into rooms, according to Smith.

"Initially it eliminates chargers and eventually it eliminates batteries all together," analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group said of Intel’s wireless power system.

"That is potentially a world changing event. This is the closest we’ve had to something being commercially available in this class."

World’s Tallest Man

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Guinness World Records has returned the title of world’s tallest man to China’s Bao Xishun after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk refused to be measured under new guidelines.

Bao, who stands at 7 feet, 8.95 inches, held the title for a year before losing it in 2006 to Stadnyk, who is 8 feet 5.5 inches tall, Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, told Reuters.

While Bao has been measured by Guinness, which required him to be measured six times in one day — both standing and lying down — Stadnyk has refused. His title was awarded based on a statement from his doctor.

"We realized there was such interest and excitement in these categories to do with height that it was too important a category for us to leave it to a doctor alone," Glenday said. "So we decided to tighten things up completely to make sure there was no doubt."

2008 Beijing Olympics Technology Design

  
 
When Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, officials promised to use it as a showcase for new technology and China’s economic development.

But the reality is that while the games will display the world’s top athletic talent, it will be using old, mature technologies.

A lot of new technologies, and even some mature ones, have already been cut from the roster. Microsoft Windows Vista, for example, won’t be the OS used on any of the PCs responsible for vital functions at the Olympics; its predecessor Windows XP will. WLAN didn’t make the grade either. All networking for the games will be done by wireline.

Officials have even prepared a mobile Web site for the Olympics based on WAP, instead of GPRS or 3G. The site is designed to provide up-to-the-minute scoring information, and it’s already online.

"We’re only using proven technologies at the games," said Hou Xinyi, deputy director of the technology department at the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, which has taken the acronym BOCOG. If China’s 3G system is up and running by the end of this year, the official Web site for mobile users will be more useful to people, he added.
