Lytro unveils next-gen Illum light field camera, lets you refocus your photos for $1600
2014-04-22 16:01:01| Extremetech
Lytro, after admitting that its overly expensive, low-resolution light field camera was merely a "novelty," has announced its new Illum camera. The Illum is much larger than its predecessor, packing a sensor that's four times the size (40 "megarays"), and an appropriately larger lens in front of that sensor (though the same 8x optical zoom and f/2.0 aperture remain). The Illum also looks a lot like a real DSLR, rather than the rather odd pocket kaleidoscopesque appearance of the original Lytro Camera. The Lytro Illum will be available in July 2014 at a retail price of $1600.

FAA Completes Nationwide Equipment Installation for NextGen Aircraft Tracking System
2014-04-14 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
FAA completed nationwide infrastructure upgrade, part of Next Generation Air Transportation System, that will increase efficiency and reliability with which air traffic controllers track aircraft while simultaneously providing pilots with more information in cockpit. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) radio network supports satellite-based surveillance system that tracks aircraft with aid of GPS. Full implementation by all 230 air traffic facilities is expected by 2019. This story is related to the following:Trade Associations

Lightning rods are so last century: Next-gen lightning protection and harvesting with high-powered lasers
2014-04-11 17:06:44| Extremetech
The standard way of protecting buildings (and their occupants) from lightning is pretty simple: You stick a lightning rod on the roof, and then some kind of conducting channel that takes the huge discharge of electricity and dumps it into the ground. This is a tried and tested method that is used by most of the world's tall buildings. In the case of something vital like lightning protection, I'm usually a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" -- but that was before I read about a new lightning protection system that uses lasers to redirect the lightning, so that it ignores the building entirely and takes a totally new route to the ground.
