Biochip detects metals instantly. biochip detects metals instantly. University of Illinois researchers have developed a cheap biochip merging living human DNA with a silicon chip that is able to instantly detect certain dangerous metals. University of Illinois researchers have developed a cheap biochip merging living human DNA with a silicon chip that is able to instantly detect certain dangerous metals. Lead, mercury and cadmium detection have traditionally required time-consuming batch testing or expensive machinery, but the new chip performs the same analysis cheaply and without delay. Professor Yi Lu says, "We have created a new class of simple and environmentally safe sensors _ the world's first example of a catalytic DNA-based biosensor with highly sensitive fluorescence detection for metals."...

Don't Touch that Radio Button, You're on Billboard Detection. dont touch that radio button. It reportedly works by detecting leakage of radiation from a radio antenna emitted when the antenna is tuned to a particular radio station. Critics argue that the radio frequency signals of such a large number of drivers passing a particular billboard at a high rate of speed cannot accurately be detected and that the data deduced from the detection is thus not very reliable....

The camera will provide a resolution of 12.1 megapixels and introduce a face recognition feature : According to the manufacturer, the feature can detect up to ten faces in one image and will allow users to zoom in facial detail, for example whether eyes are open or closed. Fuji will also offer the face detection feature in its snapshot camera Finepix F31fd....

Autonomy Automates Copyright Infringement Detection. autonomy copyright infringement. Autonomy Corporation plc, a global provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, has released Virage Automatic Copyright Infringement Detection (ACID). Virage ACID enables copyright owners such as broadcasters, production houses and publishers to maintain control of their intellectual property by automating the detection of illegal distribution of copyrighted material on the Internet. By automatically detecting any rich media that infringes an organization’s copyright, Virage ACID eliminates the need for content owners to spend hours trawling through video sharing websites, or manually scanning p2p file contents. Being totally independent of media format, ACID can not only detect whether distributed video infringes copyright, but also whether audio content ripped from a copyrighted video or audio track that is overlaid on legitimate video has been uploaded....
