At Embedded Technology 2008, Omron exhibited its OmCR, an optical character recognition software that can identify and translate text from a picture. This system can be used on cell phones and computers.
Up till now, OCR progams had difficulty recognizing characters in poor lighting or complex images. This program is intended for translating billboards and signs, menus, business cards and websites.
The Mobile OmCR can be equipped on various equipment and Omron plans on developing androids, iPhones, various cell phones and embedded equipment which support this software.
Currently OmCR is set to translate to Japanese.

When people think solar power, they think blue photovoltaic cells, but thermal solar technology has been around for decades. Santiago Seaga, CEO of Abengoa Solar, talks about how thermal solar harvests the sun’s rays to turn water into steam, driving a turbine and creating electricity, even at night.

Kyushu Institute of Technology research group proposes using ethanol as a direct fuel in next-generation fuel cells.
Ethanol powered fuel cells up to now have had a number of drawbacks including low catalytic performance, poor fuel cell efficiency, and a decrease in open voltage due to ethanol crossover when the ethanol concentration was increased to boost efficiency. The Kyushu University research group is proposing the use of a direct ethanol fuel cell to address these problems.
First, it is possible to boost the fuel cell performance while operating at room temperature by using oxidized nanoparticles as the anode catalyst. Next a composite catalyst is used for the cathode catalyst. This arrangement curbs the decrease in the open voltage caused by ethanol crossover, and makes it possible to use a highly concentrated ethanol solution.
Researchers are looking to develop a commercially feasible low-load fuel cell that uses ethanol, a renewable fuel, as a direct fuel.
