Hubble Starts to Wake Up

Sometimes it's hard to tell which side is up when when it comes to charging cables or other plugs that can only plug in one way. Try a single drop of glue and you'll always know which end is up....Posted by on under prototype device, iterati, usb protocol, fri, pc world, secd, gigabits, high def, no doubt, video stream, oomph, hdmi, mth, spoils, gpu, helm, nbsp, ces, usb 2, cables |
DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort may be enjoying the spoils right now, but the world's most popular port may just give 'em a run for their collective dollars by the end of next year. DisplayLink, which enables monitors to receive signals via USB instead of through one of the more conventional cables, has been mildly successful with USB 2.0 at the helm, but a whole new world is about to open up with the introduction of USB 3.0. As you've no doubt seen by now, the third iteration offers up over ten times the bandwidth of v2.0, which would obviously allow for great resolution support when channeling video. In reality, USB 3.0 is the first USB protocol that could support a legitimate high-def video stream, and it's expected that a prototype device will be shown at CES next month transmitting content at up to 4.8 gigabits per second. In theory, at least, USB 3.0-enabled DisplayLink would allow vast 30-inch panels to be connected to netbooks via USB without having to rely on a sub-native resolution, but then again, said netbooks will probably need a GPU with a bit more oomph than the current Ion can provide. Not like that'll be an issue for long, though.USB 3.0-infused DisplayLink products coming in 2010 originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 25 Dec 2009 16:48:00 EST.

The Ridgid K-39 Drain Machine ($319-$454, Ohio Power Tool) has been a staple for many plumbers and maintenance pros for years. Just announced, Ridgid will be replacing the model with the new K-45 machine, which will continue to be available in manual or AUTOFEED versions.
The new K-45 ($454, Ohio Power Tool) units are very similar to K-39 units with the same available cable & cutter packages as well as the same pricing. The difference however is the new unit gets an improved handle and motor with a nice power increase; 0-450RPM (K-39) vs 0-600RPM (K-45). The AUTOFEED feature works the same for both units and is the same feature that helped win the Plant Engineering Product of the Year in 2006. Check out the full POWERFEED Demo Video here.
Ohio Power Tool is an excellent source not only for Ridgid Plumbing Equipment but also for all the cables and cutters needed for the Drain Machines. As an authorized service center they are very knowledgeable in Ridgid products and stock a full range of parts and consumables.

aesoteric writes "Google has revealed that aerial fiber links to its data center in Oregon were 'regularly' shot down by hunters, forcing the company to put its cables underground. Hunters were reportedly trying to hit insulators on electricity distribution poles, which also hosted aerially-deployed fiber connected to Google's $600 million data center in The Dalles. 'I have yet to see them actually hit the insulator, but they regularly shoot down the fibre,' Google's network engineering manager Vijay Gill told a conference in Australia. 'Every November when hunting season starts invariably we know that the fiber will be shot down, so much so that we are now building an underground path [for it].'"
