LabVIEW Style Checklist -Part 3: VI

Organizing your VIs in directories and LLBs allows you to easily transfer VIs to another computer and other platforms.

LabVIEW Style Checklist -Part 2: Block Diagram

The block diagram is the primary way for others to understand how a VI works, so it is often worth effort to make block diagrams more organized and easier to read.

How Kinect works with PrimeSense

Microsoft applys 3D motion sensing technology into XBox - Kinect, letting users interact with gaming freely without controller in hand. Camera and gesture recognition make the function of motion sensing. PrimeSense delivers the chip and structure to the 3D sensing technology, helping Microsoft to achieve controller-free entertainment device.

ISSCC Virtual Museum: Imager

ISSCC 50th Anniversary lists the outstanding ideas over 50 years of solid-state circuit history.

Edmund open Taiwan office

Edmund optics, supplier of optical components, open an office in Taichung, Taiwan.

Johnson Chang  is the leader of sales team in new office. Edmund expect rapid growth in demand for optical components, especially vision systems and lens.

It took long time that Edmund decided to open office in Taiwan.
Before, there were many distributors to sell Edmund products. But most customers buy small and low cost components,and even some like to shop online for cheaper price.
If Edmund build a service team in Taiwan, this would make their advanced products attractive.

It's very amazing.
But not because of ipad, the interface of the word content, video, photo, and commercial film make me feel positive about the development of ebook.

The evolution is "touch", which makes user operate intuitively.
