Sonar drone helps find a WWII Japanese aircraft carrier
The late Paul Allen's underwater robotics are still achieving firsts in discovering long-lost warships. Vulcan's research vessel Petrel and its two robotic vehicles have discovered the Kaga, a Japanese aircraft carrier sunk during WWII's pivotal Battle of Midway. It's the first time anyone has found a Japanese carrier, Vulcan said, and also the most extensive search the Petrel team has conducted. The team spent several weeks combing an entire battlefield, covering an area of more than 500 square nautical miles -- it found the Kaga more than 17,700 feet underwater.
Kaga's TAXAN PS series 3 DLP WiFi projector
Kaga Electronics is set to unleash a trio of new DLP projectors onto Japan this March. The TAXAN PS series 3 consist of the KG-PS125X, KG-PS120X, and KG-PS100X models. The top-end PS125X can source pictures off SD cards or USB drives when connected to the projector's USB host port. Of interest, is the possibility to source PC content over a rather tight, 802.11b WiFi pipe in addition to an uninspiring array of inputs including analog RGB, composite, and S-Video. The PS125x and PS120X are both capable of a 1,024×768 resolution whereas the PS100X is limited to a mere 800x600 pixels. Prices will range from ¥198,000 to ¥99,800 ($1,644 to $829) when these inexpensive, 2,500 lumen DLP projectors hit Japan in March.[Via Impress]
