Samsung SmartThingsHub home automation devices will go on sale in September

  

Samsung SmartThings Hub of intelligent home devices will go on sale in September

  Since Samsung officially acquired SmartThings smart home platform, has been that it would upgrade its Hub control center equipment. But due to scheduling problems, originally planned for release in April of this year the products suffered from delay's fate.

  According to the latest reports indicate that Samsung recently expressed generation SmartThings Hub will be released officially in September. And a new generation of SmartThings Hub of localizing the run better, particularly in the absence of network environment. Miit Minister Miao study on development strategy

  Earlier this year, SmartThings said it would upgrade intelligent home products line, starting from more intelligent Hub. V2 is equipped SmartThings called "AppEngine" function. This means that SmartApps and equipment for data processing here in the Hub, rather than transfer to the cloud. Advantage is that, even if the connection to network outages, whether ZigBee, z-wave, and LAN functionality is not affected. In addition, the new Hub has a backup battery, power failures, can continue to work.

  Consumers can be booked through the SmartThings website or the Amazon, sale price of us $ 99 (about 630 Yuan). And to fund an intelligent home field of important layout, and after a long time of grinding, hoping a new generation of SmartThings Hub will not disappoint consumers.

Want to give up smoking and drinking to quit coffee To play Russia blocks

  

Want to give up smoking and drinking to quit coffee? To play Russia blocks!

 

  No matter what, as long as the addicted are not good, but get rid of them is a very painful process. Scientists have recently concluded that, if playing at least three minutes Russia block, will be very helpful.

  United Kingdom University of Plymouth and the University of Queensland researchers hoping to find a way to get rid of the addiction to the people have the means to help, somehow they thought Russia diamonds. After an investigation experiment, scientists found that has swept the world's true role. China was reduced to a 3D printing supporting

  The researchers found 31 college students and let them each day of the week to use mobile phones to report their addiction, 15 of them were reported for the first time need to play a few rounds after Russia blocks and then report a second time. Finally, scientists found that volunteers ' addiction in varying degrees, has been restrained and evaluation ranging from 56% to 70%.

  Why would this be?, scientists haven't found a definitive answer, but they also have their own speculation. Because addiction involves a person spending a particular substance, or addicted to a particular experience of imagination, play Russia blocks can occupy these things "process". "It's hard to play Russia blocks the same time on those things that make you addicted to vivid imaginations. "Scientists explained. The most interesting is that no matter how many times you play the game, its deterrent effect seems to be no signs of decay.

  Of course, "Russia block therapy" to really become a proper treatment, this has yet to be scientists to conduct further research.

Apple has to cry Halo in the toilet sliding screen unlock patent was invalid

  In the past few years, Apple and Android mobile phone manufacturers at war of the camps, and patent litigation has never stopped, and Apple has been well-placed in the case. However, Germany Court recently dropped the Apple spirit, and awarded Apple holds the sliding screen unlock patent is invalid.

  When Motorola was in Google when its has sliding screen unlock Apple patent prosecution. In 2013, Germany a grass-roots courts have already declared Apple the patents invalid, but Apple refuses to follow the above, are located in Karlsruhe, Germany the Federal Court of appeal finally ruled that the sentence was upheld.

  

Apple has to cry Halo in the toilet, sliding screen unlock patent was invalid

 

  In fact, unlock sliding screen is widely used in Apple and Android phones, Android phone launch because Apple user interface technology, Apple sued on many Android mobile phone manufacturers, of course, this group of companies has no furuan, repeatedly launched counterclaims.

  Now it seems Apple in recent years efforts have been wasted, because before Apple introduced the first Smartphone, named "Neonode" Sweden company was the first to introduce smartphones "Neonode N1", and this phone is unlocked sliding screen technology is used. Germany Court said Apple holds a number of user interface technology is not the first, it cannot be registered as a patent.

  But it is a pity, the company's mobile phone sales was not ideal, only sold tens of thousands of units, finally declared bankruptcy in 2008. Soon after, the company completed a reorganization, as a licensing company. Red Note virtual millet was not honest

  United States media that, according to Germany the Court's decision, Apple's touch-screen to unlock the patents are not valid in the territory of Europe and the European Union. But it is not clear whether the Android manufacturers elsewhere in the historic lawsuit brought by influential, if you slide the lock screen Apple patents completely invalid, so many Android handset vendors means one more win!

Millet Meizu the hammer get together behind the low end valuation impulse

  Yesterday, hammer released thousand brands of nut, 899/999 average price of domestic thousand Yuan added a strong competitor in the market. If you look at the two months or even a year to dramatic changes in the domestic mobile phone market, we can find such a strange phenomenon: The secret behind Baidu O2O and artificial intelligence

  Internet-phone makers increased sales in the low-end market, thousands even on low-end machines at the product level in the high-end machines, a truly "flagship". That evaluation has been such a joke "millet Note Note 2 by red rice finished explosion", "Meizu MX 5 charm Blue Note 2 anti-."

  Constantine, media people to keep this phenomenon – the flagship image, low-end market, mobile phone development malformation trend. However, I prefer to treat it as, this is represented by the millet, Meizu, a hammer-made mobile phones "covered with hardware manufacturers coat, real Internet" the inevitable result of the strategy, relying on thousands of machines is the driving force of Internet companies seeking to overestimate the value.

  Millet, Meizu, hammer of the nature of the Internet

  Meizu, hammer before transformation, only the millet is an Internet company. But the Meizu, hammer was after the US search market in transition, in essence, millet, Meizu, hammer currently are Internet companies.

  Lei in millet earlier declared at the beginning of, millet has done while attached to the phone, but in fact it is based on the platform of the Internet, millet is now China's third-largest e-commerce company, and had to build mobile Internet platform based on MIUI, cell phone was just a carrier.

  From Meizu transformation last year found on the higher we also can be seen. Huang Zhang, "said MX4 decided not to sell to make money." Huang Zhang, Meizu has to do now is to use the financing to expand the scale, scale development of Internet services, Internet service pushed company stock for shareholders and employees to get in return. Linan concludes that companies access to capital, changed its product profits-financed research and development, enhancing development through financing; employee-owned companies become popular, demutualized companies from pursuing small and beautiful into a scale of priorities.

  Hammer as well. In January this year geek Park Conference, our hardware route to hammer, let go of the past, the transition roads can also be seen on the Internet. Old dialogue facilitator, Zhang Peng, Luo said:

  There are a lot of people want to use the operating system, they like our software than hardware, which we are very happy, because we have always been driven by software companies. We did not even rule out authorized manufacturers using the operating system.

  Freaks pushed valuations of low-end machines behind the impulse

  Millet, Meizu, the hammer is in transition to the Internet, so here's the thing. The valuation of the three is actually determined by the software shipped.

  As software companies, valuations are users, namely shipments. Hard to set foot in the low-end machines is almost inevitable. So we've seen, millet, Meizu valuations are rising along with the shipments spread.

  Millet maintains annual rhythm of a financing. Almost every round is completed, its worth "triple jump". April 2010, Lei and the team, and morning XING create voted, and Qiming create voted investment founded millet; 2010 end of and completed a round new of financing, investment party more has IDG, company valuation 250 million dollars, annual cumulative financing 41 million dollars; December 2011, millet was 90 million dollars financing, valuation 1 billion dollars; June 2012 end of, millet announced financing 216 million dollars, valuation 4 billion dollars; August 2013, millet new a round financing valuation 10 billion dollars. In 2014, the millet valued at more than $ 40 billion, compared with 2010 growth of 160 times. In 2015, the millet with a 45 billion-dollar valuations to raise $ 1.1 billion that valuations have reached the level of the world's top technology companies.

  From the rice shipments in 2011, 400,000 2012 7.19 million units in 2013, 18.7 million, 2014 for 60 million units. We can see from shipments, millet's valuation of the growth curve is almost as shipments to sync up the growth curve. There is also a very key time points, after its launch July 2013 red rice, millet's financing and shipments on a fast track.

  According to the geek Park also reported, millet rice 3 and m 4 is only at the end of a product cycle to break through thousands of units, final sales but 20 million units. Thousand-Yuan price of red rice and red rice Note was short six months after the sale, long 9 months break do. The red rice series has sold more than 40 million units. In July, statistics show this year, shipments of red rice 2A for three months has reached 5.1 million units. That said, valuations much of millet is made up of red rice roll out series of shipments.

  Meizu, too. 2015 Meizu sold 8.9 million units in the first half, an increase of 540%, more than the Meizu total sales for the year. 8.9 million data, magic Blue 6 month sales of 5 million units, sales accounted for more than half. And judging from the financing and valuation, Meizu July 2014, valued at 2 billion yuan to the November estimate of 6 billion yuan. Huang Zhang bouts a year later in February 2015, announced the Meizu, Alibaba group, and the sea through the new century Fund Meizu investment of 650 million dollars. The Meizu's history was first introduced in strategic investments, financing amounts over the phone so far six rounds of financing in the first four rounds combined. In July this year, Meizu's first round of financing was completed in June, estimates exceeded 20 billion yuan. And that is what Meizu total transformation after the Internet's remarkable achievements.

  High-end positioning with the dislocation of the low-end valuation

  This location is actually between Internet companies and high-end is misplaced. Internet companies have the price down, but at the high end and the magnitude of the demands to the contrary. Such dislocation is actually caused the domestic cell phone market in the so-called "flagship image, low end of the market" of the cycle.

  From the market situation, to the hundred thousand Yuan market is down, red rice with millet series 2013 799 price is gradually plunging to 699 599, 499. This situation has also spread to the understanding held 2000 stalls. In April this year, Chinese mobile phone 2000 stalls shown signs of loosening, Meizu took the lead in price, millet, glory, added midrange machines prices plunging to around 1500 Yuan price, group diving with a transceiver in the domestic market.

  Looking back on it last night and a hammer. Sure is, hammer launched thousands of science and technology, behind the transformation of the Internet, are more investor-driven effects.

  As the Parks Congress laoluo geeks says: our investment now, hope we don't profit to sell this product. Actually, I don't have to compare them with the prices. But when I don't profit when their prices are almost the same.

  While in the old mouth, past the hardware-focused company into "we are software-driven enterprise," Hammer technology also Luo Yonghao said last night that sentence: a software company in hardware shell.

Why 3D printing easy money in China the high cost of technology weak

  Guizhou's Xiao feng was born, 6-year old boy with brittle bone disease, was born has been broken twenty or thirty times, sneeze are likely to fracture. Now, in a "disruptive technology" is known as 3D printing help, he is expected to enjoy the walk's childhood.

  Xiao feng's "step" does not mean that businesses have been able to make money by 3D printing, medical, food, construction, aviation and other fields, 3D printing is still earn only compliant status.

  The first financial daily contact over more than 10 related businesses barely profitable, spending more is constantly, and there are small in size and pressure characteristics. In addition, the 3D printing technology in China compared with developed countries such as the United States, Germany, is still in its infancy stage.

  "The key core components, is almost empty. "Three dimensional printing equipment and manufacturing Director of the key laboratory of Jiangsu Province, Yang Jiquan told the newspaper, China's 3D printing equipment, materials, software and so on are far less developed.

  Recently, the State Council to "3D print is titled", academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, the XI ' an Jiaotong University Professor Lu Bingheng, for Ministers to "catch-up".

  "Why do today to have this seminar? before I has privately asked some Ministers, 3D printing what is the core? they are not very clear. "During the meeting, Premier Li said.

  At present, the "made in China" 2025 "this significant strategies being implemented to advance in the State Department's move seemed to presage, under the concept of industrial upgrading and innovation, a series of new technologies such as 3D printing will be more and more high-level attention, policy essay just around the corner.

  3D printing help boy with brittle bone disease

  Also known as brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta, is a rare congenital bone developmental disorder, the national incidence of one out of 10,000 or so, currently number about 100,000, ~20 million people.

  "First want to check of joint activity and pathology in children with location, but are wary when they saw him roll his pants legs, fractures, are afraid to touch at all. "On August 26, the Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital consultant Du Qijun recalled in June this year when they first see small peaks.

  Common lower limb deformities can be "broken bones and then continued" correction, osteogenesis imperfecta or cannot be cured. At present, the medical community's goal is to minimize the possibility of fractures, surgery to correct deformities, increasing bone density decrease bone fragility. Wearable by IDC underestimated how large the industry

  However, Xiao feng's legs because a year ago, and slowly bent into the shape of a cross, looks like sitting around all day, unable to take standard x-rays, surgical design is difficult, and very high precision of the orthopedic surgery.

  Medical teams tried to use CT scans in children with leg bones, but CT is a two-dimensional image, doctors cannot fully see the leg's condition, cannot determine which location you should be cut and how much should be cut bone.

  Finally, in the aura of 3D printed model of listed company (300227.SZ) with the help of June this year, Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital printed out a 1:1 simulation model of lower extremities, 3D printing technology allows legs "one edges and corners are very precise."

  Aura of 3D printing Division General Manager Bai song told the newspaper reporters, print model of patients with leg bones are the key steps in the CT scan, enter medical image processing software, reconstruction of three-dimension model "model was photosensitive resin, precision of 0.1 mm. "

  Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital orthopedic team according to the model set out precise surgery, in patients with truncated legs of femur and tibia and fibula, and each side will be a sweater-like needle "nail" inserted into the bone marrow cavity, bones of a string is truncated, and back in a straight line, and supporting and fixing the lower limbs.

  "The near future, Xiao Feng received supplementary training will have the chance to stand up, with their feet to walk. "For the small peaks in the treatment the doctor told the newspaper.

  Technology weak, difficult and high cost

  According to the hospital statement, 6 years old peaks walk, this is 3D printing technology used for the first time the country's brittle bone disease corrective surgery.

  "3D printing in the medical field for three main areas: planning model, template and transplant surgery. However, the transplantation field has not yet been approved by the State. "Bai song told the newspaper reporters.

  However, more bio-printing enterprises are facing the biggest problem remains the lack of space.

  The Business Journal reporter contacted more than 10 enterprises, except for a small number of hospitals would try to print using 3D technology, more hospitals can't just test.

  "Because it is not included in the charging system, went into health care, medical oversight body, the health authority did not research how this emerging technology open access mechanism or using demonstration projects to support its development. Therefore, enterprises are faced with the embarrassing situation of clinical application of technology and I can't. "A company manager told reporters.

  In addition, industrial, aerospace, education and other areas in the past two years for the application of 3D printing has just started, "industry accounted for vague, don't even have a specific value, not to do those statistics. "Yang Jiquan said.

  Cost issues to consider 3D printing company. With small peaks, for example, the aura of his print leg model or 3D free, cost of a bone in his leg in the 2000 Yuan. "But our 3D printing equipment from Germany import, a cost of more than 4 million Yuan. "Bai song told the newspaper, and includes many rare disease osteogenesis imperfecta, is not within the scope of health care.

  The business journal also learned from some companies, designing and manufacturing enterprises to do 3D printing costs are very high, to reach and as a normal production levels, higher than regular cost around 50%. At present, there is no real benefit in this regard Government policies, and service institutions are few.

  "A core problem is technology. "Yang Jiquan said that technology gap on 3D printing in China mainly in four areas:

  First, the material, performance, reliability, applicability has very large room, there is no formation of industrialization.

  Second, equipment, industrial-grade equipment manufacturer in China, dozens of desktop with hundreds of home, but there are still gaps.

  Third is the key device, is almost empty. The most important lasers used for sintering, almost all of the United States, and Germany equipment.

  Finally, and most important software. Software is the soul of 3D printing, no software, no equipment. Google, Intel, Microsoft and other big foreign companies are already ahead of the layout.

  Old Professor two examples to impress the Prime Minister

  Although the 3D printing industry in China is facing a dilemma, but 3D printing seminars reflect in recent days, a series of new technologies is getting high-level attention.

  The first financial daily reporter learned that, Professor Lu said at the meeting, as represented by the d print "additive manufacturing" is the prospect of "material", that is, a materials genome, development of super high strength, high temperature resistance, super high tenacity and high corrosion resistant material. 3D printing has produced a temperature of 3,315 degrees, used in "Dragon ships 2nd" significantly enhances the ship lift. From "material" to "creation", that is, printed cells to make organs and even print in cell gene mutation gene.

  The concept of additive, Li expressed strong interest. He said, this gives us a very important lesson: development of China today, we want to aim at the next stage of development, to be manufactured by manufacturing power toward power, needed on the concept up a notch.

  Mr Li also said "additional material" concept is in line with our national needs. Our country's natural endowment is not dominant, per capital hold of resources below the world average level in so many ways, "additive" approach may be for developing major shift in the way subversive. Not only 3D printing, there are many other technologies, should be focused on this idea serious consideration: how to change the development mode, out of a Chinese industry, the economy entered in the high-end way.

  Present situation of development of our 3D printing, academician Lu introduced, compared to foreign countries, research is not a late start in China, technology is not backward, in some respects, is still in the lead, but the industry is growing so slowly, enterprises lack of scale. The country should come up with their own strategies in a timely manner.

  "3D print shows the way of innovation for all. "Lu Bingheng also said in the lecture.

  His road, for example, in 2014, the United States GE company challenge, 3D printing, one of the plane's parts and components design. Collected over more than 700 in the first place only 1/6 the weight of the original structure to completion of all tests. Designer is a 19 year old young man, senior experts programme than the GE company.

  Push the "double hit" Li again, improve the overall competitiveness of Chinese-made, the key to use a public undertaking, the much anticipated innovation to stimulate the creativity of millions of people.

  For the next deployment, Mr LI proposes to further advance the reform of decentralization, drop pipe, optimization services, government supervision, create a tie-breaking, huizhong intellectual, and maintaining a fair and favorable environment for promoting innovation.

  Shenzhen new materials industry association said one person, a representative area of 2025, 3D printing is made in China. Investors are very sensitive to any good policy, on industrial research in great detail, but large scale also takes time.

  Qin Guobin is a manufacturer of 3D printers, business owner in Dongguan, is also involved in one of the 3D printing industry earlier. Silicone products has been producing coasters, three or four years ago after the contact with the concept of 3D printing, seeking transformation. He told the newspaper: "the projected outbreak occurred in the market this year and next. "

New car fresh baked 2000 more expensive new models of how the 2016 Elysee

        2016 new Elysee compared with older, little has changed in appearance. In addition to the entry level two, Elysee are equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels.

   Center console design remains simple, nothing overly complex lines. Automatic comfort although no color touch screen, Bluetooth telephone, mobile phone USB audio playback is still been retained.

        2016 Elysee still uses a 1.6L naturally-aspirated engine, maximum power of 117 HP, peak torque of 150 nm. Had transmission replaced the 4AT 6AT, which is the focus of this release.

   Carrying 6AT gearbox when taking off and landing were smooth, normal driving could barely feel the shift switch. But after more than 3000 rpm engine speed, as the speed increases the noise of engine and chassis will be very obvious. Filling station nothing more than the most easy

   New Elysee increase mainly lies in the fact that 6AT transmission, shift becomes more smooth, but otherwise not much has changed. 4AT model only expensive than 2000 blocks, actually is quite a good deal.

TV TGP CP gave birth to the game lobby or reminders death

  In the Baidu search for "video-game channel is divided into", and the second position appears on the travel channel-sharing information. Indeed, compared to the travel industry, television is still in its very early stage of the game after the trade channels between CP and the distribution of benefits, there is not much discussion. After all, the distribution of benefits is only built on a certain scale of interest makes sense.

  Recently, the lobby appear to be attempting to break the hush, put questions to advance into the video game industry.

  Early enchantment Three obstacles affecting wearable devices for

  Video game into the domestic market less than two years, lobby card wars started since last year. At present, the channels to the CP rate is rare, each different way of playing is already emerging.

  When Bell, strange Cooper, millet, Ali and other gaming hall taken by CPS (Cost Per Sale denominated in the actual number of sales or channel cut from CP's actual revenue) into has been there. Because the pattern is established on the basis of the actual profits, CP did not bring extra pressure, so we keep the default view.

  Recently, it was part of the game CP reaction, some lobby is trying to "introduce" the CPA (Cost Per Action to put the actual effect valuation of CP need to pay for every download to channel) mode. Before this split appeared in the game boxes and other hardware on the TV installed, video through the channels of distribution and other applications.

  Sharing model is not the fundamental problem of insufficient revenue. Lobby said the industry is in the early stages, we are not making money, should play more of a supporting role at this time.

  Main points try He Yi?

  According to the understanding of science and technology, currently specializes in video-game manufacturer of about 20, the overall flow is very low, more profitable is impossible, even if some companies can gain some profit from the b end, living conditions are weak. This not by paying several brushes that can conceal it, game lobby should be more aware of this, so plays into patterns, what are you going to do?

  According to incomplete statistics, various channel has more than 80 companies, including operators, hardware vendors, third party platform in three categories. In interview process in the, electric technology understand to third party game platform charges or stems from business cost pressure, except human and operation yiwai, also including each a times game download by brings of content distribution costs; mature of hardware company is faced more big of revenue pressure, according to industry people revealed, due to cannot from players at profit, enterprise internal KPI assessment of huge pressure had to makes game Hall operation team aimed at CP.

  Insiders noted that, relative to the model of risk undertaken jointly by channel and CP, CPS, CPA, CPT and other limitations of the models better acceptance of the game not only under limited circumstances it is difficult to make money, it's hard to continue. In the course of investigation, technology found the TV game CP for this level of support is almost zero. CP made it clear that he hasn't made money, CPA, is better not to cooperate.

  So here's the thing, if the CPA was rampant, will hit is one of the few video game manufacturers? some people familiar with the matter said, have seen quite a few vendors out of the video game industry this year, more than the whole of last year the number of. TV game of water does not attract developers in the hand into a bucket of gold, if channels want to yanguobamao, I'm afraid cooler by a mile to CP.

  Time is not worth the candle

  Former analysis we can see that, into patterns of change will no doubt increase pressure on survival of CP. Channels, this is a profitable thing?

  Currently on the channel-sharing model is not uniform, but in the case of CPS models of sustainable plan to try to lobby only a small minority of the CPA model. CP has the right to choose in the channels of cooperation, coupled with some subsidies, CP now offers CPA model might just be to competitors. Further, if the platform is now the CPA model, video games developed in China ran aground or even backwards, until the wave of video games come that day, platform games resources may only be imported and cost than maintaining the channels of normal operating costs are much higher. According to industry statistics, the domestic video games a total of less than 200 a month only 2-3, paying the operating costs of the platform there is no too much pressure.

  More deadly is that channel to CP's charging or pushing against the video game profits from the players, and the time is not ripe now. One veteran player points out that video-game user base currently less low quality do not open oil Salt store, until players have not, early payment or will cause users to evaporation, directly from the source containing video-game development.

  Visible, even through a new revenue sharing model, ease the part of Hall pressure, perhaps only very brief appearance. From the experience we can also see the hand, strong, is also based on the CP had sufficient profitable and hand release also CP's copyright and many other issues. Reflecting, video game development have not yet entered the stage to the need to take into account the distribution of benefits details.

  In fact, at the initiation stage of the video-game industry is facing equipment coverage, games, paid content, conversion rate and other challenges. CP is most concerned about control, adaptation and other directly related to user experience issues.

  After all, players buy it is everyone's ultimate goal. Different purpose behind the decision we may know, but there is little doubt that, channel and CP is a Grasshopper on a rope. Some lobbies want to now come to pull the wool of CP's idea does not promote development of the industry.

  Instead, it would be nipped in the bud. Video games dawn, need to channel and CP to protect; no cash inflow into classification of patterns, discussion or attempt to totally meaningless. At this stage the subject to find a way out of balance, stability is the consensus of the industry.

  Finally, to borrow a game lobby CEO's words, hope there is no outbreak present smart TV can survive in a variety of ways to live.

Aurora will provide United States Navy development of unmanned helicopter based

  Aurora flight Sciences beat the Lockheed company, won United States Navy helicopter program development contract, contract value of $ 13.7 million. Under the contract, the Aurora will provide the Navy developing iPad mini unmanned helicopter control software platform, the software is able to let an untrained soldiers also may control the helicopter completed the landing. The Aurora company's bid is based on Boeing's "little bird" helicopters, Lockheed Martin and Kaman team's project is the K-Max unmanned helicopter based on the card company. The project called "independent air freight/delivery systems" (AACUS), the project plans to solve the Marines in Afghanistan issues that exist when using K-Max unmanned helicopter.

  Marine Corps in Afghanistan battle completed frontline positions using K-Max unmanned helicopter resupply missions, but K-Max in performing a task cannot be completed independently at delivery locations when landing, so Marines forced to frontline positions in each arrangement is a specially trained UAV operators, to confirm the landing site and to control its landing.

  AACUS project hopes sensors and software-based decision-making algorithm for any of the soldiers were able to complete this work through the iPad interface, thereby eliminating every stronghold configuration professional. Aurora's competition design, for "little bird" helicopter equipped with LIDAR and electro-optical sensors, and deployed new control software. The LIDAR in flight and obstructions in the camera scans the airspace. Meanwhile, a scheduled site operators will choose a landing area. When the helicopter arrived, AACUS the system will scan the selected landing area and determine its parameters such as slope, vegetation, barrier landing meets the requirements if the region does not meet the requirements, the system will scan the wider area around, and provide the operator with 3 options for a suitable landing area. Real smart times is far

  At present, AACUS will be transferred to the 13 months of the second phase of the project. Aurora will continue to develop its software and sensor systems, looking for the system's flaws and limitations on use. Zhihou, the Marine Corps will decide whether to carry out the third phase of the project, and deploy AACUS system for rotary-wing aircraft in active service, is expected to deploy this system of rotary-wing fleet will include MV-22 and CH-53.

Why wearable is not the future

  We recently read a BI report, pointed out that so far United States consumers did not show interest in the wearable device, the root cause: lack of App that is meaningful to the user of the ecosystem.

  First, related App on not more, and extremely dispersed in the distribution platform; second, can wear equipment basic in created a new user group, so it of App should from on intelligent phone and flat computer extends of thinking mode, and to do intelligent phone App do not to of thing, like Google glasses of Allthecooks App, it allows cooking recipes directly rendering front, makes user can make out hands cooking food.

  Very interesting, Darma, founder of the just moved to Silicon Valley from Shenzhen this year Hu Junhao has also recently have a few ideas, core parts including a wearable device whirlwind of thought and reflection, directed at the development of wearable device has a core issue, that is, it gathers user information, but does not solve the problem.

  We look at the key point of Hu Junhao.

  What is a good wearable device

  I think do a good wearable device must meet three conditions: first, according to the scenario, and its connection with human logic must be reasonable, not invasive is too strong; the second is to collect sufficient and accurate user information; the third is given to client solutions, pay attention not only to information, but to give solutions to users.

  Invasive is too strong that, I, for example, now has a lot to do on the market such as sleep thing, but can you imagine to monitor sleep data, we wear watches or anything else to sleep? I think that is unlikely. In fact, like what not to wear when I go to sleep because it's too hard, so this and the contact definitely doesn't work, though it due to personal contact and closer together, to obtain more accurate data.

  The second situation is, it ties a logical reasonable but not collected enough accurate data. For example, not long ago there was a product called Sense, which in addition to sleep, there are environmental monitoring, writing instruments to a user on the pillow, monitored through your mobile, but because the sensor is not reason enough, get your sleep information is not accurate.

  The third issue is a more serious problem or more generally, that is, wearable device it does not solve the problem, which give the user some information, but no user solutions.

  We may feel that it is very useful at first glance, but after a month, you will find that it can bring you the value of a few. For example, I bought myself a smart bracelet Fitbit, I found it user stickiness is not strong, I can not use it all. In fact speaking from the function, the pedometer now, is possible by using a mobile phone.

  Go deep says, is this: like wearable devices can tell me today the number of steps I walked less than before, to effect it can be: maybe I'll go a little more symbolic, but it didn't really help me to solve the problem, my question is really motivating me to exercise. In other words, know just enough information.

  For example, such as sleep wearable devices or smart home, it can monitor your environment, can you tell me when I sleep at night temperature is too high, how I sweat, and if the noise around my house is too big, and so on. But then what? As far as noise is concerned, then am I moving? So this is a wearable device with a very serious problem, namely, it does not really solve the problem.

  Development trends

  I think the development trend of wearable device, the first is "wearable". It will not necessarily need to wear on us, but in ordinary items, such as refrigerators, pillow, around the car, or install something in our quilt ().

  Which means it does not need to change your habits, or minimize the user lifestyle changes possible. In fact, I now see that many products are in Silicon Valley in non-wearable equipments, such as there are products on the market are doing:

  WiFi system detects the user through the user home beat; there is camera is a way, it can detect my posture, heart beat pulse, because now the camera's resolution is high, it can detect faces.

  That is, the future direction of the wearable device is not binding, but is hoping to use the article as a stealth thing appear on the user's life, perhaps the user does not notice it, but it can help you, such as the direction we choose is the seat, and future products may be a smart mattress.

  A second more accurate data and implementation. Data is the most fundamental data, and these data must be detailed enough, not to say that other data can be replaced. Intelligent cushion as an example, suppose I told the user that how much time do you actually have no meaning, because it can easily be replaced with smart bracelet Jawbone, or is it a easy to use an alarm clock instead.

  You have to give to other users or other product information is no substitute for, I think the wearable device was first out of the function is a pedometer, because it can be implemented by mobile phone, which I would think would be quickly eliminated, and difference in steps is not important.

  Third, in resolving the problem to the user solutions, future trends might be: data once it is known to improve, because just knowing there is no meaning, going to solve the problem. And I feel this problem may be technology-neutral, and ecological systems.

  Examples just to sleep, all I need is a wearable device to help me monitor the temperature when you are finished, automatic intelligent help me correct temperature. In that sense, Sense if it can cooperate with thermostat Nest will do just fine, if I sleep well, directly to the thermostat Nest temperature regulation, which is to help users improve it to the user solutions, otherwise there is no meaning.

  Part IV is a business model problem, wearable devices of a business model of the future may be bigger and data, that is in the collection of information and analysis information, and selling information. Everyone thought health is a great data, but your premise is that data is worth mining.

  In my opinion, for example, user step is no mining sense, user psychology and behavior, I think we can dig deep; the second I know the temperature a bit, but it did not turn into a long-term sustainable business model, it would be useless.

  In fact, I think, wearable device industry is a study of people, for example, some users with hand ring he got used to, but he did not like, they had just started someone ZEO Halo but failed, although his user data collection technology right, but is not welcome by the users, not accepted by the market.

  After all, technology has many implementations, but most importantly through your mind, if you can find a market pain points. Such as the recent very popular App called Kool Nerd, it's made clothes, writing emphasizes on clothing, inspire more people borrowing celebrity publicity positive energy, it didn't make any technology.

  Early entrepreneurs, technology may be a good starting point, but the longer it does, it will be a brain on a market judgment.

  PS: am 27 years old Hu Junhao sensor technical background, fiber sensors are in the Singapore National University photovoltaic Professional doctoral thesis.

  Darma will launch a smart seat next year, users sat, cushion to determine stress levels to help working people who are sedentary caused health problems. The seat price for early users for $ 99, Darma is now United States raise Kickstarter to raise the platform.
