The new employee connection: Social networking behind the firewall
The new employee connection: Social networking behind the firewall: "'The whole Web 2.0 explosion has moved from the consumer and college student world to professionals in the business world,' says Amy Shuen, author of Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide. (O'Reilly Media, 2008). 'Employees are seeing this as a way of enlarging their sphere and interacting with colleagues.'
It's more than an electronic water cooler, she says. Companies may start with the idea of helping employees feel more connected, but that's just the beginning. With easier and faster connections among people, suddenly cross-division collaboration happens more naturally, leading to greater innovation. 'People don't just chat; they connect with people and end up talking about things that have an impact on the business,' Shuen says."

Flock'n Sheep!: AirJelly
Flock'n Sheep!: AirJelly: "AirJelly houses two lithium-ion polymer accumulator batteries rated at 8 V and 400 mA, which can be completely charged in half an hour and are AirJelly's sole source of power. A connected central electric drive unit transmits the force to a bevel gear wheel and then to eight spur gears in sequence. These gears power eight shafts, each of which activates a crank; these in turn move the jellyfish's eight tentacles. Each tentacle is designed as a structure with Fin Ray Effect®- a construction derived from the functional anatomy of a fish's fin. The actual structure consists of two alternating tension and pressure flanks movably connected by ribs. If a flank is subjected to pressure, the geometrical structure automatically bendsin the direction of the applied force. Together, the tentacles produce a peristaltic forward motion similar to that of their biological model."

GreenPeak Technologies - Ultra Low Power Wireless Control Networks
GreenPeak Technologies - Ultra Low Power Wireless Control Networks:
"Key Technology Characteristics
GreenPeak’s wireless communication devices leverage three key technologies that enable it to operate in a battery-free environment without cabling.
The first is an ultra low power wireless transceiver and sensor interface design with efficient power-up and power-down modes that dramatically reduce power consumption.
The second is an energy harvesting interface that enables the modules to utilize power provided by external solar, electromagnetic and piezo-electric transducers.
The third is a mesh technology that enables designers to create extended sensor networks without the need for battery-powered or cabled routing nodes."

Smart-label chip makes RFID affordable - Electronic Products
Smart-label chip makes RFID affordable - Electronic Products:
"Enables fast deployment of a wide range of datalogging and tracking systems
Claimed by the company to be priced up to 10 times lower than existing RFID temperature-sensing modules, the IDS-SL13A smart-active-label chip can automatically track, monitor, time-stamp, and record information about any goods in any supply chain or cold chain transport — from expensive fragile components, medical goods, and pharmaceuticals, to bags of bananas — on land, sea, or sky. The chip enables fast deployment of a wide range of datalogging and tracking systems and can check on and record unseen changes such as extreme temperatures that can impact goods."

For Segways new RMP, its all about the wheels - R & D
For Segway’s new RMP, it’s all about the wheels - R & D:
"Segway's new RMP recently debuted at RoboBusiness in Pittsburgh this week, but there isn't much information available about it at this time other than it 'might' cost up to $50k and it can move in any direction on its Mecanum wheels.
It uses the same parts that a Segway uses but just doubled, it can haul up to 400 lbs. According to showgoers, plenty of odd robot wonders like this showed up pretty much unannounced."
