Sony Announces Next Gen Back Illuminated CMOS Sensor

Sony announced on January 23, 2012 that it had developed the next generation Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor that is more compact, consumes less power and has higher processing speed. In conventional image sensors, the back illuminated pixel section and the analog circuits for signal processing are placed on a single chip which is stacked on top of supporting substrate, as shown in the figure above.

Robot Girlfriend Invented

While long accustomed to Japan’s technical ingenuity, the world will certainly gape at this one – so much lifelike the woman – sorry, the female robot – looks. It has been given out that it, or maybe she, is capable of the simplest facial functions like moving its head and lips, blinking, and even responding to questions.
