This is awsome…
First interactive technology to enable flat and curved multitouch screens opens up new market opportunities
Integrated Systems Europe, Amsterdam, February 2, 2010 – A new large-format multi-touch technology launched today by DISPLAXTM, a developer of interactive technologies, will transform any non-conductive flat or curved surface into a multitouch screen. The DISPLAX Multitouch Technology, believed to be the first of its kind, has been developed based on a transparent thinner-than-paper polymer film. When applied to glass, plas
tic or wood, the surface becomes interactive. Significantly, this new multitouch technology can be applied to standard LCD screens as well, making it an attractive choice for LCD manufacturers. The new technology will also be available for audiovisual integrators or gaming platforms to develop innovative products.
The DISPLAX Multitouch Technology dramatically extends the capabilities of the interactive format. It can be applied to flat or curved, opaque as well as transparent surfaces up to three metres across the diagonal. It is hyper sensitive, allowing users to interact with an enabled surface not just by touching it but, for the first time, by blowing on it, opening up new possibilities for future applications. Currently, the technology can detect up to 16 fingers on a 50-inch screen. The number of fingers detected is expected to increase as development progresses.
“Multitouch is the future of interacting with a wide range of technologies. For the commercial markets, the DISPLAX Multitouch Technology will open up new opportunities for many market players, technology vendors as well as businesses,” said Miguel Fonseca, chief business officer of DISPLAX. ”It is extremely powerful, precise and versatile.
Almost everyone who sees it thinks of new applications, from converting LCDs into a multitouch screens, tables into multitouch tables, to creating interactive information screens in stores, shopping malls or public areas, to developing new exciting gaming environments. We already have a number of
interesting pilots in progress across Europe.”
The technology was primarily developed for commercial environments, but Displax expects potential customers to come from industries as diverse as telecoms, retail, property, broadcast, pharma or finance. DISPLAX expects consumer applications to be developed using the new technology as well. Based on patent-pending projected capacitive technology, DISPLAX Multitouch Technology uses a controller that works by processing multiple input signals it receives from a grid of nanowires embedded in the film attached to the enabled surface. Each time a finger is placed 2 on the screen or a user blows on the surface, a small electrical disturbance is caused. The micro-processor controller analyses this data and decodes the location of each input on that grid to track the finger and air-flow movements. The DISPLAX Multitouch technology controller combined with a projected capacitive nanowired film is a lightweight and highly scalable solution, ranging from seven inches (18 centimetres) to three metres across the diagonal thus
opening up a wide range of commercial applications suitable for indoor or outdoor displays. Software applications
DISPLAX works with partners and directly with customers to deliver multi-touch rich-media applications, enabling people to take full advantage of the latest developments. DISPLAX Multitouch Technology will be available in the market with several embedded business
applications at no extra cost, designed especially for the kind of installations that interactive technology companies work on. This Apps Pack will allow customers to display photo and video streams, provide users access to Google Maps and social networks, integrate news
streams via RSS and play multitouch games. More applications will be available later in 2010 directly from DISPLAX and other developers.
Availability
The DISPLAX Multitouch Technology will begin shipping in July 2010. The prices will be very competitive and depend on size.

When searching for information on the power of visualization I cam across this article by Jim Somchai. Visualization is an important tool for anyone who is wanting to achieve anything in their lives and the way it is explained in the article is a great way to introduce the power of visualization. I hope you enjoyed the article as much as I did.
Do you want to be rich? Most of us will not deny the wealth that we see others enjoy. We sometime wonder how these people can get into such a pleasurable level of status that we do not even dream of. We wonder how come we work hard all our life and we have not achieved much no matter either materialistically or spiritually. How can we know those methods the rich people use and apply them into our life? Will we be rich after we use them? What price do we have to pay or do in order to get what we want like the other rich people do? In this article, we will find the secret that makes thousands if not million of people get as much wealth as they want. It was proven to be the effective method and we can also be the ones to utilize and enjoy the result of it. The three steps that you can practice here will help to get you want include:
1. You visualize what you want. You see yourself as you already own it. If you want money, make a cheque that has the exact number of the amount you want. Carry it around and pick it up to take a look
every time you have a chance. If you want a big house, take a picture of your dream house and put it on the wall in front of your working desk. Visualize yourself and your family live in this lovely house. See you and your family plan have a picnic party at the backyard of your house. What are you going to do in the pool that you have beside it? See it as it is happening now. If you want a car, take a picture of the model you want. Choose the
color that you like most. Keep the picture to see every time you have the opportunity. Visualize yourself drive this car around. How far you are going to drive this car? Feel the power of the engine. Feel the comfort you have while driving. See it and feel it as it is happening right now in front of you. When you visualize, your subconscious mind will response to it. The more intense your feeling have toward it, the more result you will get. The subconscious mind will believe that the situation is real. As the result, it will attract more favorable situation and opportunity into your life. You can be rich faster and accomplish more than you have ever dreamed of by right visualization.
2. You believe that what you want can happen. Apart from boosting your subconscious mind by visualization, you need to also stimulate your conscious mind. How are we going to do that? You need to have
faith on yourself. You need to believe that you can be qualified to have and get what you want. The conscious mind communicates through words. Practice affirmation that you can do and achieve all you want. You need to eliminate all disempowering beliefs that you may have or use to have. Now you are totally convinced that all the assets, wealth and money you want can be yours and they will be.
3. You take constant and unwavering actions to achieve the wealth you want. Results come from actions. Do not expect anything happens without you do anything. Plan yourself around what you want to happen. What you will need to do in order to get them? How long is it going to take to the next level of income you want? What are you going to do? Make your action plan and incessantly pursue it. Rich will come when you take actions toward it. The process of visualization can be enhanced by using Attraction Accelerator. It is background music which will help enhancing the power of your visualization. The process of having faith on oneself can be boosted by positive affirmation very often. To take effective actions will require proper goal setting and right planning to help the
process. Rich can be achieved by a lot of people and by you too. Once you can master the simple three steps explained in this article, you can go as far as you want.
Before I started this blog I had spent a lot of time looking into what was involved in creating and running a blog. Everywhere I went I always seem to end up back on the ProBlogger.net website. I decided that was the place where I was going to get the most useful information from. I spent a few months just reading through the posts and seeing what other users were saying about the advice that was coming through the site. Personally I was loving every post and when they announced they were releasing a book I went straight to Amazon and pre-ordered it.
When the book arrived I was not disappointed, it was great. It did cover a lot of information that I had already read on the site but I still loved it and still often refer back to the book. Here is a brief list of things that you will learn in the book.
- Choose subject matter that works for you
- Handle technical issues
- Examine different way your blog can earn extra income
- Evaluate your slog’s success
- Keep content fresh and interesting
- Use your blog to generate income indirectly
If anyone reading this post is interested in or looking to start their own blog or even if you already have a blog that has went a bit stale then I would 100% recommend that you buy this book first and start off on the right track or bring your existing blog back to life.
Over the past few years I have been studying the Law of Attraction, and during that time there has been a particular book/teaching that has cropped up now and again called the Tao Te Ching
. I wanted to read it and there were many recommendations to which one to read as there have been many various versions published. I decided to wait and I knew that the right copy would find me when I was ready, and it did a couple of weeks ago. I would like to share part of these works so here is the first installment. 
Chapter 22
If you want to become whole,
first let yourself become broken.
If you want to become straight,
first let yourself become twisted.
If you want to become full,
first let yourself become empty.
If you want to become new,
first let yourself become old.
Those whoes desires are few get them,
thoses whoes desires are great go astray.
For this reason the Master embraces the Tao,
as an example for the world to follow.
Because she isn’t self-centred,
people can see the light in her.
Because she does not boast herself,
she becomes a shining example.
Because she does not glorify herself,
she becomes a person of merit.
Because she wants nothing from the world,
the world cannot overcome her.
When the ancient Masters said,
“if you want to become whole,
then first let yourself be broken,”
they weren’t using empty words.
All who do this will be made complete.
