This Dog-Bot Is Amazing and Terrifying

Cyrus June 30, 2016 USB News & Press Releases

At the forefront of robotic innovations, Boston dynamics has revealed their newest design and it’s looking like a very futuristic representation of your family pet. The best part? SpotMini looks like it can replace your housecleaner as well.

Weighing in at 55 pounds, SpotMini has done away with hydraulics and pumps to rely exclusively on electric motors for movement. On a full charge, an estimated 90 minutes of activity can be expected. With a full suite of sensors, the robot can both navigate and manipulate its environment. This includes fetching a paper, opening doors, and walking down stairs and functionality testing is getting increasingly complex every day. To augment this, SpotMini can be taught or guided by its human companions to perform countless tasks for even more uses which will vary from household to household.

Nexcopy Adds Standalone microSD Duplicators With microSD Card Sanitization Features

Press Release:
LAKE FOREST, CA – CALIFORNIA, ORANGE COUNTY, June 22, 2016 – Nexcopy Inc., a leading manufacturer and developer of flash memory duplicators, introduces two new standalone microSD Duplicator models to Nexcopy’s line of flash memory duplicators and sanitizers. The 1-15 and 1-31 target systems offer unparalleled copy speeds to Secure Digital media with additional functions for device sanitization.

The duplicators function primarily as binary copiers with a variety of built-in features including:

Bit by Bit Copying
Benchmarking and Speed Test
Pre-Scan Memory Features
Speeds up to 1GB per minute
Multiple Speed Copy Modes
Control Equipment with Boot Password
Set Language to: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese

The microSD duplicators operate as stand-alone devices where a host computer is not required to perform the bit-by-bit duplication or the binary sanitization processes. The simple one-button operation of these advanced duplicators is ideal for IT departments, fulfillment houses, flash memory manufacturers, businesses, software developers, and government agencies. For data professionals or businesses distributing data to employees or customers, a duplicator with this balance of speed and reliability can become an integral tool for daily activities.

Additionally, these new standalone microSD duplicators by Nexcopy can sanitize multiple devices simultaneously, saving IT professionals valuable time in flash memory management. Core functions of these new systems include the binary copy process used in the popular Nexcopy USB duplicator systems. Binary copy modes include the ability to copy bootable microSD media, FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3, ext4, and any other file format system, proprietary or public.

“Pivoting from our core binary copy firmware, Nexcopy expands our technology to include sanitization features now being sought by IT professionals,” says Greg Morris, Nexcopy Inc. President. “It is important for Nexcopy to listen to the requests of our customers and act upon them to bring the best product to market.”

This release further reinforces Nexcopy’s commitment to innovation, as emphasized by Greg Morris in a recent interview:

“From a single USB duplicator in my garage to a full line of duplication and protection solutions, Nexcopy has always been about solving real-world problems with real hardware.”

Does China Now Have The Most Powerful Computer On The Planet?

Cyrus June 20, 2016 USB News & Press Releases

Installed this week at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, Sunway TaihuLight easily breaks its way into the top 10 of the international Top500 list for computing systems. More impressive however, is the margin by which it beats the #2 spot(also in China) to be the most powerful computing system in the world. With over 10.5 million locally-made processing cores and 40,960 nodes Sunway TaihuLight is capable of 93 petaflops which is a term most people do not and should not ever need in their lives. Counting up trillions upon trillions is required to put that figure into perspective and it means 93 quadrillion floating-point operations per second (FLOPS). In other words… lots.

Main applications for the system for now include advanced manufacturing, weather forecasting, and big data analytics but we’ve seen computers less powerful being applied to genome mapping and heavily extensive theoretical physics equations. Software for a computer with multiple cores can be difficult to write but software to take advantage of 10 million would be almost as much effort as building the system itself depending on the goal functionality. For the nerdy out there, the Sunway TaihuLight is an extremely high-spec Grand Prix racing car. Fantastic for races in a circuit, but not something any one person would ever need in order to drive to work.

Bose’s Most Immersive Noise-Cancelling Headset

Cyrus June 7, 2016 USB News & Press Releases

As one of the largest audio hardware providers, Bose has become synonymous with quality and consistency. Speakers and music systems are some of their most popular items but the QuietComfort 35 headphones are the active noise cancelling headphones that many users have been waiting for.

At $350, it is a small price bump compared to the previous QuietComfort 25 model which puts it closer to the Beats’ Studio wireless cost. Like the previous model, the QC 35 is lightweight, comfortable, and immersive according to user reviews. With microphones inside and outside the earcups, Bose says the QC35 senses, measures, and sends unwanted sounds to two digital electronic chips, one for each ear, that respond with a precise, equal and opposite signal in a fraction of a millisecond. Also equipped with a brand new equalizing system, the QC35 can balance sound at any supported volume.
