Napster Response n How much will it cost you to fill up your player?
The King of Thrones n n n The turbo-flush, handsfree toilet is here! A precisely targeted bidet controlled by well -mounted wireless remote Will Smith (actor): “Its is deadly accurate; it always hits the bull’seye perfectly”.
The Next Royal Flush
The King of Thrones Toto Neorest 600 n n n Toto launched the Neorest 600 in 2002 – price $5000 16 -bit processor, 512 KB RAM, wireless remote Sold 250, 000 units in Japan – Revenues $1. 25 billion “Enthusiastically” received in USA US consumers routinely say the notion of an electronic-powered toilet strikes them “dangerous” Culture gap: Americans are mostly immune to the charms of bidets.
Blades Computers A Quite Revolution in the Server Room n n A mass of blades – Mare. Nostrum Computer cluster built with 2282 blade servers The most powerful computer in Europe Housed in a glass box (inside what was once a church in Barcelona)
Promise of Blades Computers n n n Superslim machines, based on Intel or AMD and Windows or Linux, but consume a lot less power and take up a lot less room. Blades are much easier to install, manage, and repair than conventional servers The biggest suppliers of blades computers: Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, and Sun
Blades Servers - Forecast
New 3 -D Displays n n n Volumetric displays render images in 3 D space rather than on a flat screen Market prediction: $1 B by 2006 Companies: Felix 3 DDisplay (Germany), Genex Technologies, Actuality Systems. Light Space (USA)
3 D Display Technologies n n n A high definition projector behind a stack of 20 liquid-crystal screens to create one solid image from a rapidly projected series of images An array of lasers to bounce images off a screen that rotates so fast that human eye perceives only a 3 D image floating in space Will open the door to institutional and consumer markets: education, home shopping, games
Security at the Touch of a Finger Biometrics n n Fingerprint as a master password to log into your computer and Web sites, music services, and other services that need passwords Microsoft’s fingerprint reader for Windows XP ($104)

Goals and Challenges n n GOALS: To provide semi-automatic tools to monitor marine traffic at key locations, analyzing the contents of incoming video streams, detecting potential threats, and triggering the corresponding actions. CHALLENGES: ¡ ¡ ¡ Enormous volume of raw data produced by the HDTV camera (in Gbps) Need to provide all-weather 24/7 coverage Compromise between local processing (at the output of the video camera) and remote/central processing
Solution n Development of video and image analysis algorithms embedded in the HDTV camera, which will perform: ¡ ¡ Detection of moving objects of interest Identify their location Tracking of moving objects Object classification and creation of databases
Mobile Phone Technology n n G 3 phone is a business organizer and entertainment center Includes Web browser, two-way video conferencing, an organizer, MP 3 player, Java games, … Complex SW/HW (10 M lines of code) Challenge: Time to market
One Pass to Production funded by Motorola ($2 M+ for 3 years) n n n Right Place: Motorola’s plant in Plantatation (FL) developing latest mobile devices Right Time: Competition in 3 G phones and applications is tremendous (Nokia, Erickson, LG, Samsung, . . ) Right Idea: Research and develop new tools and technologies to reduce the development life cycle (from 24 months to 24 hours) G 3 Concept Phones
