Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science,
Sharp Electronics has paired up with London University biologist John Oxford to bring us all H5N1, a defense against the dreaded bird flu. When certain positive and negative ions are released at the same time, the cells combine and become free radicals, thereby disabling the micro-organisms. Originally the plastamacluster was developed for purifying in air conditioners, but it proved to remove an incredible 99% during lab testing.

Sharp CMOS Cam Module RJ63SC100
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Smartphones, Corporate News, Handhelds,
Sharp has come up with a teeny, tiny 5MP camera with auto-focus which they say is the planet’s smallest. Set to come out en masse in July, we suspect that the CMOS cam module RJ63SC100 will become available on some of their holiday handhelds and other mobile products. Maybe they will lend out the design for spy-stuff which also continues to get smaller and smaller. Then again, perhaps it will inspire other companies to beat the diminutive size so that they can have the smallest.

CES 2008 Video: The new Sharp AQUOS LCD HDTV line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Broadband, CES, CES 2008, Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Science, Videocasts,
We visited Sharp at CES and checked out their TV specifically for gamers. It’s the GP3 Series of 1080p LCD TVs, with a 6 millisecond response time, which reduces lag time between your beloved console and the TV. It’s even available in 3 cool colors: Red, White or Black. Available for $1500. We also checked out their D64 Series of 1080p LCDs, 20% lighter and thinner than the previous D62 Series. Sizes range from 32” - 65” and are available now.
We loved AquosNet, an internet service in which up-to-the-minute, customizable information (weather, stocks, sports, traffic, Hollywood news and more) appears on the side of the TV screen at the push of a button. AquosNet is free with the SC94 and D74 Series.
