Can be extended to three times the size of the flexible battery

Bendable electronic devices are still listed as a future technology. A lot of research and development work is in progress to produce flexible circuits and displays, but the problem is that even if we successfully achieve these two technologies still need to consider how to power such equipment, after all, for all portable electronic devices, battery still is a solid part.

However, the University of Illinois some progress in this area. Have a research team led by Professor John Rogers, the successful development of a battery, not only is very soft and can be stretched to three times the original size, can be wireless charging.

Such flexible battery key technology is the use of energy reserve base and to be embedded in the polymer, the bending-wired connection. Is actually inside the polymer can be stretched; energy reserve base has remained in place. The wired connection is the shape of an "S" model, then circle back to their own above, as shown in the following diagram:

In such a manner for a wired connection with the stretching of the polymer, it can stretch, but does not due to the excessive pressure and fracture. When the polymer restored to its original size, the wires changed back to before the S-shaped, to wait once again opened. The polymer may be completely covered by the battery device, protecting them that do not suffer the environmental damage, for example, and contact with the liquid by an electromagnetic inductive wireless charging means.

Before this battery can be used in commercial devices, the prototype battery also requires a lot of research work, and so far, it can only be experienced about 20 charge cycles. The R & D team thinks this is a very good device solution, bendable screen for the future; this will be the perfect battery.

Sony EyePad new patent exposure

Various message lists a bunch of us may be able to see on the new PS function, but a recently published European patent Sony for its future peripherals to show us some idea, of course, the ability to appear in this generation of devices is still unclear. Called "EyePad", the name of this patent is an application of augmented reality technology consoles, and brought to the game inside to be able to real objects. The reason for choosing this name to match and Sony's EyeToy camera and EyePet virtual pet, and do not imitate the meaning of the name iPad Apple Tablet. It contains a new handheld system; the system has a pair of stereo cameras placed in position along the panel or touchpad. The above chart shows, the label of the two cameras for 1030A and 1030B, and with the "R" and "L" name. Between the camera was the diagonal placed, can create a depth map, the camera will be able to check the object (hands or toys are placed near the plate).

It is designed as handheld peripherals, existing handheld combined with other functions, the result is something of a similar game board, which can be identified on top of things. Around the edges of light is similar to the role of the light-emitting function of the Move the handle while Eyepad location information can be confirmed. Sony said it can be as augmented reality tools to use to interact with the game, to create a body in the environment of the game can be through gestures in Eyepad above control. In addition, cameras and sensors can also identify different objects every day, if the user has placed a Coke on the touchpad, this canned on both sides of the depth map and picture diagrams can be obtained, and then the game will be able to create a virtual model of cola.

Like other patent, this is just an idea of Sony, will not necessarily added to the new products, but this is definitely a very interesting patent.
