Nikon Coolpix P7700 And S01 Come Out For Autumn Pocket Shooters

This week the folks at Nikon are bringing on the heat with not just an Android-powered smart camera, but two additional pocket cameras as well. With the Coolpix P7700 you’ll find that a $499 camera can bring on a revolting set of specifications starting with a massive 1/1.7-inch 12.2 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor.The Coolpix S01, on the other hand, will run presently $179 for a 10 megapixel CCD sensor-toting camera with a 2.5-inch touch screen interface.

The Coolpix P7700 is what Nikon is bringing on to fight with the Canon PowerShot G1 X for certain, complete with an adjustable display that flips wherever you want it to, a 7.1x zoom lens, and their own Lens-Shift Vibration Reduction. This unit also has manual controls in great quantities, of course, and the unit is made to be a perfect blend of high-end specifications matched with a simple to use interface.

The Nikon Coolpix S01 brings on an even simpler interface to match its a little lower-end specifications. It’s certainly not the least powerful camera on the planet with its 10 megapixel CCD sensor and built-in flash, but at just $179 you’ll find yourself unable to defend against when you’ve got a couple of bills in your pocket this winter season. You’ve got electronic VR, a 3.1 x 2.1 x 0.7-inch body, and a gathering of color choices. You can pick up red, silver, white and pink in a while this year.

Have a glance at our Nikon tag to see the other devices they’ve brought to the market this season and check the timeline we’ve set up below to see how fabulous their most noteworthy offerings have been. And be sure to check out the Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c without a doubt – it’s eccentric and fabulous!

Latest Technology To Detect Resistant Tb Bacteria Developed

London: Scientists have developed a new technique to detect tuberculosis bacteria which endure the treatment, paving the way for effectively treating TB bacilli resistant to antibodies.

Researchers from the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine have created a easy technique of Fluorescein diacetate staining, which only stains living tuberculosis bacilli (and not dead ones) which can immediately tell if resistant bacilli survived after treatment.

Tuberculosis bacilli have turn out to be resistant against major antibiotics. According to World Health Organization (WHO) survey, only 11 per cent of multiresistant cases were discovered in 2009.

Checking quick under the microscope still is the recommended technique for TB screening, but it cannot differentiate between living and dead bacilli.

It is therefore not clear whether you are looking at the cadavers of a successful treatment, or at anti survivors. Only if the numbers after a long wait still don't fall, you know you are dealing with a anti strain. But all that time.

Innovative Technology Detecting Radioactive Material

Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have generated a new prototype radiation detection device for use at ports, border crossings, airports and elsewhere.

Using new materials and nanotechnology techniques, they've developed the Nano-photonic Composite Scintillation Detector, which combines rare-earth elements and other materials at the nanoscale to improve sensitivity, accuracy and robustness.

The co-principal researcher Bernd Kahn said that, “US security personnel have to be on guard against two types of nuclear attack - true nuclear bombs, and devices that seek to harm people by dispersing radioactive material and both of these threats can be successfully detected by the right technology."

There are currently two common types of radiation detectors: scintillation detector, which usually employ a single crystal of sodium iodide or a similar material, and solid-state detectors based on semiconducting materials such as germanium.

Both technologies can detect gamma rays and subatomic particles emitted by nuclear material, but have drawbacks. The large sodium iodide crystals required for scintillation detectors are typically fragile, cumbersome, difficult to produce and extremely vulnerable to humidity.

Amazing New Technology - D-roll Laptop Design

D-roll Laptop design is a next generation concept which is way unique from usual laptops in both shape and function. The long tube shape of this laptop, which was motivated from the storage tubes that artists are using for storing large drawings, eliminates perception of the traditional book looking laptops.

This multifunctional laptop has two working modes. When it is operating in full function mode, the laptop is unfolded completely and all peripherals are turned on. The main display is turned off and a smaller screen, attached with main body is turned on allowing the users to check and send mails when D-roll is under email mode. VC is a helpful add-on for capturing pictures or videos and Locking System can provide certain security to the laptop.

Microsoft's new technology - PhotoDNA

STATE and federal police will begin using sophisticated image-matching software to tag and track child pornographic images in an attempt to reduce their sharing across the internet.

The technology, developed by computer giant Microsoft's research group along with scientists from Dartmouth College, creates a unique signature on a digital image that could be compared with the signature of other images to determine if they were copies.


The manager of cyber crime operations at the Australian Federal Police, Glen McEwen, said when police came across child abuse material their first priority was to establish whether the images were new, and the child was still at risk, or whether they were versions of known images.
That process was currently carried out manually by police officers, he said.

Commander McEwen said,”access to the new technology, called PhotoDNA, will mean police could identify victims and apprehend abusers faster, and make it easier for enforcement agencies to share information”.

The technology would also limit officer’s exposure to disturbing material, he said.
