Logitech V220 Cordless Mouse


Nothing match the pleasures of a wire-free work space; no clutter, just a neat and clean desk. Guilty as charged, I'm totally for wire-free products so I'm really glad that Logitech is coming out with yet another mouse- the V220 cordless optical mouse for notebooks. The ergonomically designed mouse features soft rubber grips for easy handling and its receiver snaps onto the mouse for easy portability. The mouse also features a 1,000 DPI high-definition optical sensor and the single battery offers up to half a year of battery life.

Robotic hand is finally out of Cyberdyne systems


At the 17th Robot workshop in Fukuoka city Japan, Ichikawa Yutaka shows the right handed five finger robotic palm. It is made from fiber and silicon to give the human touch. The five fingers on the 400-gramme (14 ounce) hand are developed using artificial fibers and are controlled using compressed air. Compared to motor-driven ones, air muscle hands are extremely light and less noisy. It can even perform delicate tasks like picking an egg. The nasty scar near on the palm is for the free moment of the thumb.

Hitachi develops brain-machine interface


Forget the clicker: A new technology in Japan could let you control electronic devices without lifting a finger simply by reading brain activity. The "brain-machine interface" developed by Hitachi Inc. analyzes slight changes in the brain's blood flow and translates brain motion into electric signals. Underlying Hitachi's brain-machine interface is a technology called optical topography, which sends a small amount of infrared light through the brain's surface to map out changes in blood flow. Hitachi demonstrated this technology at its Advanced Research Laboratory in Hatoyama near Tokyo. A cap to be worn has optical fibres connected to a mapping device which in turn, to a toy train set via a control computer and motor. The host performs some simple calculations in his head and the train springs to action, apparently indicating activity in the brain's frontal cortex, which handles problem solving.
