CANBERRA air max 97 hombre , July 20 (Xinhua) -- Australian researchers announced on Thursday that they have designed a new "nano device" which could one day be used in gaming consoles to improve the graphics and speed of data transfer.

The device, created by a team at the Australian National University (ANU) in collaboration with a team from the Friedrich-Schiller-Universit?t in Jena, Germany, is similar to a tiny antenna around 100 times thinner than a human hair, and is used to speed up data exchange between processors in a console.

The invention is two years in the making air max 97 gold comprar , and according to senior researcher Professor Dragomir Neshev from the ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering, could be used to improve user experience in gaming consoles in the near future.

"One of the big problems that gamers encounter is sluggish game play, which our nano device could greatly improve by speeding up the exchange of data between the multiple processors in the console," Neshev said in a statement on Thursday.

"The speed of this data transfer is currently limited by the speed that electrons can flow along the copper wires connecting the processors in gaming consoles.

"Our invention can be used to connect these processors with optical wires that will transmit data between processors thousands of times faster than metal wires. This will enable smooth rendering and large-scale parallel computation needed for a good gaming experience."

Neshev said the team had to create the device to be small enough to "match" the modern console's smaller electric parts, and added that the invention is the first of its kind anywhere in the world.

"We are the first to make a tiny optical nano-antenna device with the ability to sort and route ultra-fast bit-rate telecommunication signals air max 97 silver comprar ," he said.

BEIJING, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- China's manufacturing sector expanded at a slower pace in January, official data showed Wednesday.

The country's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) came in at 51.3 this month, decelerating from 51.6 in December, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). A reading above 50 indicates expansion air max 97 silver bullet baratas , while a reading below reflects contraction.

The manufacturing PMI has stayed above the boom-bust line for 18 straight months.

Despite the slowdown, the index was the same with that of a year ago, suggesting the sector remained steady, NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe said.

Sub-indices for production and new orders went down slightly to 53.5 and 52.6, respectively air max 97 rojas , while sub-indices on raw material stock, employees and suppliers' delivery time were still lower than 50.

STRASBOURG, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Following recent revelations about spying by the American National Security Agency (NSA) on three current and former French presidents, Pieter Omtzigt, the author of a report on mass surveillance for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) nike air max 97 verde , has called for an investigation by Council of Europe (CoE) leaders.

"The Secretary General of the Council of Europe should use his right to start an article 52 investigation," declared Pieter Omtzigt in an interview with Xinhua.

A Dutch Christian-Democrat member of the PACE assembly, Omtzigt recalled Article 52 of the European Convention on Human Rights (which includes the right to privacy), a procedure than could be used. It has already been used in an effective manner after revelations of the existence, in Europe air max 97 azules , of secret detention centers run by the American CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), he added.

"[European] countries had to admit that they had cooperated and a number of countries decided to stop with the secret detention centres," explained the PACE Rapporteur. His report on mass surveillance, adopted by huge majority on April 21 this year, called for the urgent adoption of an "Intelligence Codex" putting in place standard rules of procedure between secret services in allied countries.

"The BNDNSA scandal breaking in Berlin is a case in point that an 'Intelligence Codex'... is urgently needed air max 97 negras ," insisted Omtzigt, referring to the illegal tapping of the private phone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying it "shows that parliamentary surveillance of the secret services must be strengthened."

In response to the reactions in Paris, judged lukewarm by many observers, the rapporteur told Xinhua that "the French government does not react with one voice" and that officials "could have reacted more firmly."

Omtzigt otherwise clarified that a French parliamentarian had demanded the closure of the building of the United States Embassy in Paris which shelters the phone tapping services. He praised the fact that the French Minister of Justice air max 97 white summit baratas , Christiane Taubira made "a clear appeal to grant political asylum to Mr. Snowden" and pointed out that PACE, for its part, had only just recently called on the U.S. to allow the whistle-blower "to return to his home country without fear of criminal proceedings in conditions which do not allow him to raise a public interest defense."

In his report, Pieter Omtzigt, doesn't hesitate to express his admiration for Edward Snowden -- a man which the United States considers as a "traitor" and a "criminal": "His courage and his devotion to the cause of liberty and privacy on the internet air max 97 blancas , despite the danger that this represents for his safety and freedom, demands the greatest respect."

The avalanche of revelations in regard to the utilization of massive means of surveillance have provoked serious concerns for the parliamentarian.

Another subject of concern for Pieter Omtzigt is the ongoing development of a veritable arms race of data encryption techniques. "Collection and storage of the.
