The recent revolutionary progress in the semiconductor and computer technologies is giving us an oppotunity to extend our idea on the experiments. The high density electronics of LSI technology provides an ideal front-end electronics such as readout circuits for silicon strip detector and multi-anode phototubes as well as wire chambers. The VLSI technology has advantages over the obsolite discrete one in the various aspects ; reduction of noise, small propagation delay, lower power dissipation, small space for the installation, improvement of the system reliability and maintenability. The small sized front-end electronics will be mounted just on the detector and the digital data might be transfered off the detector to the computer room with optical fiber data transmission lines. Then, a monster of bandies of signal cables might disappear from the experimental area.

  • Boycott Sony
    Boycott Sony Why are we asking you to take action against Sony? Sony is using legal actions to harass and intimidate individuals who are modifying their own PS3 systems. Defective by Design supporters are boycotting Sony. Here's the full story: • Sony sold the PlayStation 3 as a general purpose computer, capable of running the GNU/Linux operating system, but running in a restrictive mode that didn't allow complete access to the powerful hardware. • Sony stated, "It was fully intended that you, a PS3 owner, could play games, watch movies, view photos, listen to music, and run a full-featured operating system that transforms your PS3 into a home computer." In return, George Hotz (known in programming circles as geohot) announced his efforts to give PS3 owners complete access to their machine's powerful hardware. • Sony then proceeded to betray their customers by removing the ability to run custom operating systems at all, "due to security concerns." • In January 2011, Hotz released the cryptographic keys needed to reverse Sony's restrictions and run custom software on the PlayStation 3. • Sony promptly brought a lawsuit against Hotz. • Then, another PS3 hacker, Alexander Egorenkov (graf_chokolo) had his home raided by the police and sued him for €1 million. Sony followed-up by confiscating his equipment. The outcome of this? A pattern of harassment from Sony, attacking Hotz and other PS3 developers. Our response? Hundreds of emails in support of Hotz and others to the CEO of Sony, Howard Stringer — who chose to shut off his own email account, rather than listen to customers.

    For Immediate Release For further information: Christine Law, 02 8353 5795 [email protected] Hausmann Communications Sony’s 7S full-frame camera realises a new world of imaging expression Features newly developed, wide dynamic range sensor with awe-inspiring sensitivity Sydney, 7 April 2014 – Joining the acclaimed 7 and 7R family of the world’s smallest full- frame interchangeable lens cameras, Sony’s new 7S model puts extraordinary sensitivity, low noise and spectacular 4K video quality into the hands of professional photographers and videographers. The innovative 7S camera features a newly developed, 12.2 effective megapixel 35mm full frame Exmor CMOS sensor paired with a powerful BIONZ X image processor, allowing it to shoot at a sensitivity range of ISO 50 – 409,6001 with unprecedented dynamic range and low noise. The new model is also the world’s first camera to utilise the entire width of a full-frame image sensor in 4K video acquisition, and does this without cropping or line skipping as it can read and process data from every one of the sensor’s pixels. This allows 4K video shooters to utilise all of the artistic and creative benefits provided by the unique sensor. Wide ISO Sensitivity (ISO 50 – 409,600)2 and Impressive Dynamic Range Sony, the world’s largest manufacturer of image sensors2, has developed a unique 12.2 MP sensor with extraordinary sensitivity that allows the 7S camera to collect dramatically more light than 1 Standard ISO range: Still 100 – 102,400, Movie 200 – 102,400; Expandable ISO range: Still 50 – 409,600, Movie 200 – 409,600 2 No.1 image sensor manufacturer for digital camera and video recorders.
