When satellite television first entered the market, home improvement dish antenna is very expensive metal devices accounted for a large space. In the early years, only those Super TV enthusiasts’ material and financial resources will not hesitate to put on their own dish. Watch Satellite TV is much more difficult than the broadcast and cable television.

  Now, in the United States can be seen on the roof of a small satellite dish antenna. Drive through rural areas can not receive cable television, you will find in every one on the roof has a dish antenna. Major satellite TV companies from around the world every day with movies, sporting events and news to attract more and more customers.

  Satellite dish antenna is a special antenna for collecting a particular broadcast source. Standard by a parabolic dish antenna and central feed horn components. To transmit the signal, the controller sends via feed horn, dish antenna to focus the signal in a narrow beam. Receiver dish antenna can transmit information; only receive information. Receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna works just the opposite. Surface wave reaches the antenna dish, parabolic reflecting the radio signal to a point to the inside, like a concave mirror to focus the light to the same point.

  In this case, the point is the feed horn dish antenna for transmitting signals to the receiving device. In an ideal setting, there are no major obstacles, so that the dish can receive a clear signal.

  In some systems, the dish needs simultaneously from two or more satellite signals. These satellites may be very close, so that only a conventional feed horn dish antenna can simultaneously receive two satellite signals. This number will affect reception quality because the dish is not directly aligned with one or more satellites. A new dish antenna design uses two or more feed horn to receive signals from different satellites. The waves transmitted from different satellites to reach the dish surface, their angle of reflection are different, a beam reflected to a feed horn, and the other channel to the other beam reflected feed horn.

  The core component of the feed horn is the low noise down converter or LNB. Dish LNB amplifies the reflected radio signal and filter out noise (the program does not carry a radio signal). LNB will zoom in, and filter out the noise signal to the user's home satellite receiver.

  Toshiba Corporation is Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer, is also the second largest integrated motor manufacturer, under the Mitsui Group. Founded in July 1875, formerly known as Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd., in 1939 by the Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd. and produced by the merger of business areas including digital products, electronic components, social infrastructure equipment, home appliances and so on. Since the 1980s, Toshiba from household electrical appliances, heavy electrical machinery as the main enterprise, changes to include communications, electronics, including integrated electronic business. In the 1990s, Toshiba digital technology, mobile communications technology and network technology and other fields have achieved rapid development, the successful transition from a giant home appliance industry pioneer in the IT industry.

In the past few months, flash memory card memory market has become increasingly crowded. Apart from well-known manufacturers such as IBM, EMC and strong settled outside a congregation emerging enterprises are competing coming, want to maintain their competitive advantage and market dynamics.

  As a small-scale manufacturer in the crowd involved, Fusion-io recently fell busy with the problem, but also consider whether there are giants willing to which the right price to acquire them for themselves. That makes it a dilemma: either to further promote the diversification of customers to boost revenue, or risk receiving an acquisition of other companies, and relying on each other strong financial strength to develop their products more attractive price.

  Somewhat ironic has been faced with such a passive situation, precisely because of large bulk purchases of its server-side enterprise PCIe flash memory card, leading to overly optimistic estimates of its growth prospects and rush to market due. PCIe flash memory card card storage server has been regarded as the star of the field, and now the world has been generally realized that the combination of SSD and storage arrays to enhance application performance is the best solution. For the ultra-large-scale enterprises and other end-users want to minimize service delays supplier of flash memory card storage although the cost is still high, but it has become to improve the competitiveness of products of choice.

  In view of this, like Apple and Facebook giant-class companies from Fusion-io in the hands of a large number of sweep goods, thus promoting improved its revenue is not surprising. But will their fate lies in the large customers who are advantages and disadvantages, once these customer's business philosophy, or fluctuations in product demand, Fusion-io will be the first brutally bring disaster. (But to be fair, many other manufacturers take 28 to open the same principle can not avoid being affected.) Fusion-io now seems to have realized this, so start taking steps to push their products more smaller customers in the hope of making it gain wider acceptance.

  Fusion-io executive vice president Gary Orenstein does not agree with the above conclusion. "We have trained thousands of corporate clients since," he explains. He also stressed that the company is not dominated by large corporate clients, but efforts to expand operations to which the various market segments. Published in January of this year ioScale product seems to have proved Fusion-io company's operating philosophy, that is not exactly the corporate users who bet on.

  Nevertheless, the company released a series of subsequent announcement still showing its determination to consolidate corporate customer base and hope to diversify products to meet the different needs of buyers and purchasing patterns.

  In April, the acquisition of NexGen Storage's decision may be brought as part of the company Fusion-io indirect revenue; after all, many enterprises and small business users will be happy to its software and hybrid storage device integrated into the Fusion-io flash memory card memory solutions.

VGA HD capture card has been on the big screen LCD splicing in widespread use. It will be very good with a large screen LCD splicing to create the perfect display device.

Due to the strength, energy and other constraints, AMD has always had its own choice in the face of new markets such as smartphone CPU, Intel is striving for a market share, while AMD keeps indifferent to the emerging market, repeatedly announcing that it will not working on smartphones.

  AMD Senior Vice President and Global General Manager Lisa Su recently received the Gulf News’s interview and mentioned the emerging mobile market. She stressed that AMD CPU is valued tablet and mixing equipment, but has no plans to enter the smart phone market.

  She said: "We really want to focus on microprocessors, design and graphics technology. AMD CPU is a major strategic game and we have been looking for differences in the field, the game is the ability to reflect where our differences, we will continue to look new opportunities in the traditional PC market is indeed changing, we also saw a lot of new equipment forms. PC business is our key point, but it will help us to develop new opportunities. "

  Lisa Su stressed that AMD APU strategy has achieved initial success, more and more applications are supporting APU architecture, and along with the Sony PS4, Microsoft Xbox One after another with AMD custom processor, expected end of this year, when about 20 % of AMD's business will be the semi-custom chip.

  However, industry analysts said that AMD is not able to do smartphone SoC, but may enter the mobile GPU market, after its graphics performance is very advanced, only mobile GPU chips also likened the whole so simple more. AMD has said he would not like the NVIDIA GPU IP that will be licensed to third-party vendors, but if all aspects of the timing are right, AMD is absolutely no reason not to do it, and even develop their own products.

AMD socket AM2 processors appeared recently in the U.S. online store and start accepting reservations, suggesting that AMD socket AM2 product updates for the interface speed will be quite fast.

  This National Toner Warehouse online store in California has begun to be listed on the price list socket AM2 processor architecture, including the Athlon 64 FX-62, Athlon 62 X2 5000 and Sempron 3600 + (not yet launched). But the price is not low, such as Athlon 64 FX-62 price of $ 1,400, while its predecessor, FX-60 is currently $ 1,000 can be hand.

  In general, shops and system vendors before the official launch of the processor does 1.5 months to begin shipping, because the chip manufacturers typically ask them unreleased products to remain silent, but in fact is also the day they officially launched there is not enough volume. Therefore, the current situation seems, perhaps AMD CPU has begun volume shipments.

  AMD is scheduled for June 6 officially launched its support for DDR2, slot for the socket AM2 single-core / dual-core processors, including the Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX and AMD Sempron. It is said that the original Athlon 64 processor will only support DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) memory modules, but recent reports show that can officially support to 800MHz. AMD currently no comment on the news.

  AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) was founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, AMD is the only currently compete with Intel CPU manufacturers, its departments and NVIDIA discrete graphics split the world.

    European Digital Media Network Company Amscreen, will soon let customers know: how many people visit their digital signage, but also to know who those people are.

  Digital signage player viewing will achieve quantitative, information display systems, multimedia information systems, digital signage, and digital signage. The company said the company has announced the launch of a new OptimEyes platform that existing campaigns with Amscreen combined assessment data, adding real-time audience insight monitoring, providing a thorough and transparent measurement platform.

  OptimEyes platform data includes real-time statistics on, further including gender, age, date, and time and location information. Amscreen said which means that advertisers and agencies can view campaign results and achieve optimized to ensure maximum associated to attract viewers.

  In order to meet business-to-consumer shopping behavior data survey needs, even before some data camera equipped with digital signage player manufacturers and facial recognition technology has launched the intelligent monitoring products in consumer behavior, in order to effectively collect the visual field of the screen audience measurement. Interplanetary network EC82 open advertising, its strong opening scalability to integrate a variety of applications and data sources, support camera, RFID and other devices equipped with, but also designed to meet the user consumer behavior survey and design.

  "The advertising industry is the time to make a change, the brand should not only know how many people are browsing ads, and they should know is what people watch. Through our newly developed platform OptimEyes, advertisers will have the opportunity to instantly access the information, this means that we can publish in the past only in the content on the network to achieve. "

  This network will cover more than 6,000 digital screens, with more than 50 million viewers each week.

"I think the future of this product may be beyond the iPhone."

  We can not laugh at Traverse venture confidence is arrogance. In January 2013 in Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show "CES" (CES) on, Vuzix display the latest video eyewear "M100" won the award for best product of the "Best of Innovations Award. " After another few days, the company booths are packed with IT business people. Vuzix video eyewear is being developed with the same type of network terminals "video eyewear" of Google is one of them. Google is an employee while half-jokingly said, "I heard that there are our competitors, Where is it?"

  Vuzix M100 developed a "smart phone without hands", including access to the location information of the GPS (Global Positioning System) function and small microphone included, body built with smart phones basically the same function. Through with voice recognition technology, users only need to talk; you can display the location on a map on the screen.

  Moreover, by using the M100 fuselage is equipped with high-definition picture quality camera, you can also add front signal and identify obstacles, and notifies the user of the class functionality. However, because there is no built-in access to mobile phone network communications capabilities, this product is currently also need to connect the smart phone. Vuzix believes that until the battery when the apparent prospect of miniaturization, "This product will eventually replace smart phones." On the development of next-generation display, Japanese companies also refused to yield. Through the development of a real landscape can be superimposed on the image of the transmissive video eyewear type display "AiRScouter", Brother Industries, the company has become the focus of attention.

  Brother AiRScouter developed the use of video eyewear reflection light, which is the image of the liquid crystal panel, in the eyes of the projection. Which is characterized by the display of images seems to float in front of the wearer without blocking the line of sight. Because the price is up to about 200,000 yen, Brother Industries is currently pioneering the use of the remote to the factory and warehouse workers give instructions commercial tools, but in charge of marketing the brothers sales of OEM business part of the tube Minister Tsukamoto Kozo said: "The consumer market is not absent consideration.”He said in the past to carry phone needs era, no one thought the smart phone as it is now so popular. Therefore, "everyone wearing the monitor's era, it is not surprising."

  Although there are video eyewear type display topics such as miniaturization, but said Apple has practical applications for patents related to many experts will also be regarded as the greatest popular next-generation network terminal.
