The demand of high speed data transmission over internet is getting higher, with more and more video-on-demand service. Oki has announced the world’s first to achieve all optically regenerated transmission, which enables unlimited transmission of 160Gbps optical signals with single wavelength. OKI used an optical test-bed provided by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)’s Japan Gigabit Network II (JGN II)(*1), the result proves the archivement of transmitting data at 160Gbps data, a speed equivalent to transmitting four movies, approximately 8 hours of data, in a single second. This amount of data at this speed can be sent over distances greater than the length of Japan, which is about 3,000km, and in fact to the other side of the planet, which is about 20,000km. OKI developed an all-optical 3R Regenerator, which uses a specialized optical-repeater technology with functions for re-amplification, re-shaping to remove optical signal wave distortion, and re-timing to avoid timing jitter accumulation. With these advances, in theory, it is possible to achieve signal processing speeds of over 200Gbps.

LG.Philips LCD will debut the world’s highest resolution 14.3-inch flexible color E-paper display, which is equivalent in size to an A4 sheet of paper, represents a significant improvement over its predecessors with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, and the ability to display 16.7 million colors, making it suitable for use in high-end multimedia applications. These displays are extremely energy efficient, only using power when the image changes. Additionally, the displays are extremely thin, at less than 300 micrometers. LG.Philips LCD’s use of metal foil and plastic substrates, rather than glass substrate makes the flexible color E-paper display bendable and durable, while maintaining superior display qualities. The 14.3-inch display uses a substrate that arranges thin-film transistors (TFT) on metal foil rather than glass, allowing it to recover its original shape after being bent. The 14.3-inch flexible color E-paper display can also be viewed from a full 180 degrees, so that images always appear crisp, even when the display is bent.

Artic Cooling, the Swiss cooling solution provider, has unveiled its new series of value Intel CPU coolers, the Alphine 7 Pro and Alphine 7 GT. It comes with the highly efficient thermal design and PWM function, together with the BIOS controls of fan speed, which perform significantly quieter than the standard boxed cooler. Moreover, the 92mm fan of the Alpine 7 Pro features a patented vibration absorption, which gives the cooler the best noise/performance ratio in its price class. The Alpine 7 GT was developed for system integrators to offer maximum performance at a very low noise level for an aggressive price. Both coolers feature Intel’s push pin mounting for instant and easy installation.

ARCTIC COOLING, the Swiss cooling solution provider, has unveiled the performance leader thermal compound in 30gram packaging, the MX-2. MX-2 is a high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance compound for components that require optimum thermal dissipation. It is ideally suited for use in CPU, GPU cooling and other applications between power semiconductor components and heat sinks where thermal conductivity is the major factor. Since the MX-2 does not contain any metal particles, there are no problems regarding electrical conductivity or capacitance.

This is a breakthrough news as reported in news.bbc.co.uk. Scientists at IBM have completed work that may make it possible to do away with the copper wires used to couple processing cores to each other. The connector created by the team uses light to pass data between the computational cores that is faster and uses less power than copper wires. The device is smaller than previously demonstrated connectors promising to shrink future computational clusters.

The IBM development, reported in the journal Optics Express, could replace the copper wires that connect cores with a device that converts electrical signals to pulses of light. The device, called a silicon Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator, is many times smaller than previously produced convertors.
