The Consumer Electronics Show or CES has recently ended on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada. There were many new gadgets scattered all over in the show such as Three-dimensional televisions, Internet-enabled TVs, touch-screen “tablet” computers, e-book readers and other funnew gadgets. The CES is one of the best trade shows for spotting new technologies. And here are the top 10 new toys.

1. Toshiba CELL TV: This television requires no remote control but TV watchers can simply wave their hands in the air to control the menu, fast-forward movies and turn the volume up or down. In other words, the television has gesture technology. This technology has not been perfected yet but Toshiba is the first one to show off publicly.

2. TCL 3-D TV, sans glasses: TCL Corporation has showed off 3-D TV technology that doesn’t require glasses. How it is possible? The technology adds a layer rippled lenses to the front of the TV screen to produce the three-dimensional effect. These could also be used in the home as well as on billboards.

3. Blio E-Reader: The Blio e-reader software application can turn any laptop, netbook or smartphone into an image-rich, full-color electronic reader. It uses publishers’ original PDF files to preserve the exact format of books and magazines while supporting interactive multimedia, including video and Web links.

4. Samsung TV remote with a TV screen: A remote with its own television screen, a “All in One Premium” remote that can play its own audio, and can be tuned to different TV channels than the TV it controls. Samsung will introduce the remote in its upcoming C9000 high definition TV, which will be sold separately.

5. Lenovo IdeaPad U1 tablet laptop: This Lenovo’s U1 hybrid was among the standout tablets at CES because of its touch-sensitive screen. The gadget looks like a laptop; it is independent from the keyboard; the screen is like the big iPhone; and it is ideal for reading digital books.

6. Tivit: This device brings mobile TV to smartphones such as the iPhone, Blackberry and Droid. It aims to bring live television signals like local weather and news to your mobile phones. How it is possible? The device uses an antennae in order to pick up mobile free digital TV signals from local television stations and transmits them to mobile phones via Wi-Fi.

Yes, you have probably heard of Nintendo Wii! I have known this new next game machine when one of our Japanese circuit designer came to Philippines and visited our company last month. One of the ICS used in the Wii was designed by this Japanese engineer.

What to expect from this console game? Papers say that Nintendo Wii offers better graphics, powerful gameplay, and a whole new interactive experience. I heard that the storage is 512megabyte internal flash memory and can be expanded with an SD memory card. And that it was also designed with state-of-the-art processing technologies that minimize power consumption. Find out yourself its console’s controller, and the Wii remote features.

At this moment, I only have playstations (PS2) at home. I haven’t tried using Nintendo console but maybe this time I will consider it. Let’s see.

Sanyo Xacti C6

I am working as a circuit design engineer in Sanyo Philippines. As a circuit engineer, it is my responsibility to develop new technology in any field. Last year, I bought Sanyo Xacti C6, which is a 6 Mega-pixel digital still camera, and a digital camcorder, The camera allows me to capture a 6-megapixel still photo while in movie recording mode. It features 5x optical zoom. According to review, it is the world’s thinnest, smallest and lightest model among video cameras with a Megapixel-or-higher image sensor and an optical zoom lens. It has been ergonomically designed for a comfortable one-handed grip and a fashionable portable item.

5.11 Tactical Series Clothing

I have invited to watch the SWAT round up last year. I was really excited about it because it was my first time. I really thanked my bestfriend for the invitation. All of the staff were wearing 5.11 tactical pants. I say that these pants were looked really good. I even have the chance to asked Ronald, a good friend who is a foreman. I asked him about the round- up's organizer and head honcho how he liked him. He just said they were great. And it's good to hear that.
I, myself, have three pairs of 5.11 tactical pants in beige, green and navy blue. I was very satisfied with these pants that I have bought at WorkBootUSA online. The pants have been durable and comfortable because they were well made by WorkBootUSA. They really held up well to repeated washings and dryings over the last year.

Did you know that these 5.11 tactical pants are currently the premier cargo pant worn by federal law and police personnel? These pants are particularly worn during trainings. Most law enforcements are wearing a pair of cargo pants or cargo shorts that are 5.11 tactical pants while training. Yes, these pants are perfect. And I would love to wear those especially if the pants could have cell phone pocket added to the left leg, just like the one on the right leg. The narrow pocket on the right could be perfect to hold a spare of pistol magazine. Furthermore, I also love to see strengthened/reinforced pockets. But I can say that these 5.11 tactical pants are the better than anything else I have seen so far for tactical training.
Always keep in mind that 5.11 tactical series will always create superior products that enhance safety, accuracy, speed, and performance. Law enforcers will always consider these products because they are buil on a foundation of durability, quality, and value. 5.11 tactical series are innovatice head-to-toe gear perfect for everyone.

In our company, we are using a new technology. During coffee break I can now relax and take a nap. Try the new energy pods to his leather recliners with egg-like hoods that block noise and light while taking a nap at work. Why take a coffee break, if you can take a nap during break time?

Star Craft in Korea

I am a Star Craft pro gamer and I want to play and be paid for it! Now, Star Craft is considered the coolest game in Korea. There are companies who sponsored players just to play the game for competition in the league. Want to watch some matches? Korea Star Craft game matches are televised in a 24-hour channel cable which is held at E-sport stadium with a complete giant TV screens and announcers.

Smart Dusts

Do you think it is only imaginative, sensors the size of dust particles? Those tiny sensors really exist. It was developed in San Diego, California wherein it composes of silicon particles that could assemble themselves. Smart dusts are powerful that can detect everything from light to vibrations. Actually, these are robots the size of a grain of sand.

Stain Removal

As of today, the world of science has not yet come up with a universal stain remover for our laundry. I think it would be long enough for it to be produced. It is really hard to remove stain like lipstick, grease from textiles or clothes and we use different stain removers in the process just to remove the final trace.

Mobile Security

Business organizations can’t no longer rely on Malware, Spyware, and Antivirus systems alone, to ensure networks are not brought down by hackers and other security bugs. With the vast growing competition an ideal security system should cover multiple desktop operating systems, web cameras and print servers with a tight user authentication system.

Laboratory on Chips (LOCs)

Soon, laboratories will be shrunk and contained in a tiny space, such as the microchip. Inventions never stop; LOC was made possible by micro-fabrication technique used for semiconductors. It integrates many laboratory functions into a single microchip. LOCs have also upsides and downsides. Think twice before making a decision regarding the use of LOCs.

Powerful T-rays

This machine was created that can see through clothes. It uses terahertz rays or t-rays, an electromagnetic type radiation with low-energy emissions whose frequencies lies between infrared and microwaves. It is non-ionizing radiation and safer for us than x-rays. It can be used to detect cancer, or check for genetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Salt for Coconuts

Did you know that ordinary table salt (Sodium Chloride or NaCl) can be used as a fertilizer for coconuts? Salt accelerates crop growth and development which minimizes leaf spot damage. It increases a coconut tree’s tolerance to drought. It is environment friendly and also cheap but best source of chlorine to increase copra.
