The Wall Street Journal’s 2010 Technology Innovation Awards have chosen InVisage’s QuantumFilm as the winner in the Semiconductor category. The winning product makes vast improvements in capturing light for digital cameras, and especially cell phone cameras. Using semiconductor quantum dots instead…
The Virtual Music Instrument, a specialized software program Eric Wan (ECE 1T0) played a role in helping to develop, is among several projects the computer engineering graduate has been involved with aimed at helping children with disabilities. The work is being…
A fish-shape musical instrument that spouts water jets into which users dip their fingers is being hailed as an example of a new user interface. The instrument, called a hydraulophone, involves putting your fingers on tiny water jets and producing…
Using your brain waves to control the environment around you, like the lights in your home or even your toaster, is already a reality. One Toronto-based company has developed a system called thought-control computing, and it is exploring a range…
One of the fundamental tenets of quantum mechanics is that measuring a physical system always disturbs it. If the system in question is a message in a series of digital bits encoded in the polarisation of light, this means that…
The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) has presented its 2010 Maurice Wilkes Award to Professor Andreas Moshovos (ECE) for his contributions to the development of memory-dependence prediction. This technique, used by high-performance microprocessors that execute memory-access operations, provides many…
