Latest Inventions 02 - - Transparent Electronics
Inventors, Jung Won Seo, Jae-Woo Park, Keong Su Lim, Ji-Hwan Yang and Sang Jung Kang, who are scientists at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, have created the world's first transparent computer chip.
The chip, known as (TRRAM) or transparent resistive random access memory, is similar to existing chips known as (CMOS) or metal-oxide semiconductor memory, which we use in our electronic devices. The difference is that TRRAM is completely clear and transparent. What is the benefit of having transparency?
"It is a new milestone of transparent electronic systems," says Jung Won Seo. "By integrating TRRAM with other transparent electronic components, we can create a total see-through embedded electronic systems."
The technology could enable the windows or mirrors in your home to be used as computer monitors and television screens.
This technology is expected to be available within 3 to 4 years.
Latest Inventions 01 - - Biomimicry Creates New Tires
Biomimicry is the science that imitates nature to create new products.
Resilient Technologies, a Wisconsin based company, has created a tire that can't go flat.
Instead of using a pressurized air cavity, the tire design relies on a geometric pattern of six-sided cells that are arranged in a matrix like a honeycomb.
It has the same ride, reduced noise levels and heat generation as pressurized tires. The goal was to create an airless tire with uniform flexibility and load transfer that would endure tremendous wear and tear and still perform well.
The best design was found in nature, which was the honeycomb.

Sri Lanka, Vietnam relations on new footing
President Mahinda Rajapaksa speaking at a banquet hosted by Vietnamese President, Nguyen Minh- Triet yesterday noted that his visit to Vietnam would herald a new chapter in Sri Lanka- Vietnam relations.
“The relations between Sri Lanka and Vietnam are based on the firm foundation of shared values and historical experiences. The message of the Buddha of tolerance and compassion for all and of seeking out the right and true path has influenced the thinking of our people,” he said.
President Rajapaksa recalled that the people of Sri Lanka were firmly behind and supportive of the national liberation struggle of the people of Vietnam, which prompted Sri Lanka to celebrate it on the April 30, 1975.
Referring to the direct action of the Sri Lankan Government to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam, the President said: “It is a source of great pride and satisfaction that Sri Lanka was among the first in South Asia to establish diplomatic relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the early seventies”.
He insisted on the necessity of reopening of the Embassy of Vietnam in Sri Lanka, to further strengthen the bilateral relations and mutual cooperation between the two nations and said that the Embassy of Vietnam will be reopened in Colombo at an early date.
“We in Sri Lanka, hold your country in high esteem for your efforts in defending national independence and achieving national reunification.
The sacrifices made by the people of Vietnam have not been in-vain. Vietnam has been an inspiration to us. We watch with admiration Vietnam’s economic achievements,” President Rajapaksa said.
The President said: “Today Vietnam has emerged as a vibrant nation. Vietnam also plays an important and significant role in global issues, especially related to peace and security, as a member of the United Nations Security Council.”
Commending the efforts taken by the Government of Vietnam to achieve a sustainable growth in its economy, President Rajapaksa said that Vietnam, under the leadership of its President Minh-Triet has registered a remarkable development.
“We also look forward to welcoming joint ventures from Vietnam. With the signing of the Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement between our two countries during my visit, I’m confident that investors from Vietnam would be encouraged to invest in Sri Lanka,” the President said.
“My Government was able due to the commitment of the Sri Lankan Armed forces and people to liberate our motherland from the heavy yoke of terrorism which oppressed us for over two and a half decades. We are now successfully turning to the next tasks we have to address, of rehabilitation and reconstruction,” he added.
President Rajapaksa said that measures should be taken to ensure that both Sri Lanka and Vietnam never again face the menace of terrorism including from the sea.
President Rajapaksa while thanking the Government of Vietnam for its extended support and cooperation given to Sri Lanka said that the country seeks to become a Dialogue Partner of ASIEN and is looking forward for support by Vietnam in this endeavour.

Akram's wife still in a critical state
The condition of Huma Akram, wife of former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram, continued to remain critical on Thursday, 48 hours after she was admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai.
"Doctors haven't been able to detect any kind of progress. She continues to remain in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) with doctors constantly providing her intensive medical attention. Doctors had set a 72-hour deadline for a turnaround. However, there has been no improvement," hospital sources had told news agency DNA.
Huma was rushed to Apollo after she developed complications while being airlifted to Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth Hospital from Lahore on Tuesday. The aircraft had made a stop at the Chennai airport for a scheduled refuelling. Acting on the advice of the doctors onboard the air ambulance, Huma was rushed to Apollo. She was reported to have suffered a heart attack and doctors did not want to take the risk of flying her further. The pilot spoke to the Indian airport authorities, who in turn, arranged for temporary visas and an ambulance.
With neither Akram nor medical attendants updating the media, speculation is rife that she is suffering from either a brain tumour or renal failure.

Jayalalithaa wants to know the fate of Sri Lankan aid
CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa wants to know the fate of the Rs 500 crore aid already sent to the Sri Lankan government for the resettlement of the Tamils.
In a press statement released here, she said DMK chief and Chief Minister Karunanidhi pursuaded Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to announce that the India would send Rs 500 crore more to Lanka for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the Tamils there.
“What happened to the funds already sent to the Sri Lankan government? How many Tamils have been resettled and rehabilitated with it?’’ she asked.
The AIADMK leader also questioned the claims of a delegation of parliamentarians of the ruling alliance from Tamil Nadu, which visited Lanka recently.
“They came back claiming that 58,000 IDPs were being released from the camps. Independent reports from Sri Lanka indicate that no such release has taken place so far. Is Karunanidhi trying to fool Tamils with these gimmicks?” she added. (Express Buzz)
