By admin, May 21, 2012 5:25 am

May 21 news, Raspberry Pi is a Linux-based PC, people have been able to remember it not only because of its ultra-low configuration and small size, but its ultra-low price of $ 35. A few days ago, Raspberry Pi computer has an upgraded and in the original configuration, there added a 14MP pixel camera.

There is news said that the prototype of the camera can shoot a 14 million pixel image, but ultimately the consumer version of the pixel will be lower. In addition, the camera of course is very mini-compact, it will attach a ribbon cable, the company said it will be the best choice for home automation applications, or be able to robotics to a new height.

The company said then this camera on its official website, its pixels will be lower than the 14 million pixels. In addition, they will ensure that it will as cheap as the Raspberry Pi mini-computer. Unfortunately, it is not clear Raspberry Pi cameras, release time, and price information

The raspberry Pi is only a credit card size, is a Linux-based PC, equipped with a 700MHz processor, 256 memory, support SD card and Ethernet, has two USB ports, HDMI and RCA output support.

The price of the raspberry Pi PC camera has not been announced, but we expect will be more than $ 10 at least $35 on the basis for a single 14 million pixel camera is not cheap.

May 19 news, according to foreign media report, General Motors researchers from the MEDA project and the MEDA Engineering and Technical Services, HRLLabs of technical personnel has got a major breakthrough in battery technology.

Famous Journal of Power Sources reported that General Motors researchers have developed a composite of silicon Tin Oxide as new lithium ion battery electrode materials.

Reported said that silicon and tin can be said as the negative electrode potential, it has the best materials which have very high theoretical specific capacities. However, in practical applications, with the battery charge and discharge process, the lithium ion intercalation and prolapse volume expansion and contraction may be significant, and thus easy to break, thus lead to mechanical degradation, lead to electrode damage.

Now, however, the new material developed by GM, including a material separated nanostructures. The material is from the silicon-tin alloys in the precipitation of silicon nanoparticles embedded in a tin matrix template. This can reduce the mechanical degradation, and prevent the emergence and spread of micro-cracks.
