Google Glass

The future promises another blend of technology and vision (like Google Design Glass) and other amazing new optical technologies in the near future.

Google [x] launched Project Glass to create a special kind of eye-wear that takes technology away from the road. "To help users discover and share the world, place them now." This video, released by Google on Wednesday, shows possible applications of the Glass project. A man roams the streets of New York, communicates with friends, looks at maps, information and photos. The video conversation with the girl ends with him as the sun sets over the city. All of this can be seen through eyeglasses with augmented reality.


Other emerging optical technologies

Blindness is one of the weakest conditions that can seriously affect a person's ability to lead an independent life.

Bionic Vision

 Australia is a national consortium of scientists working together to develop a bionic eye that can help people with specific vision problems to restore their vision. The goal is to restore sight to the blind and visually impaired. This technology is originally intended for patients with pigmented retinal degeneration and age-related macular degeneration. With time and further research, it is possible that this technology can help patients with other vision problems. The bionic vision system consists of a camera, which is attached to a pair of glasses and transmits the radio-frequency radio signals to the microprocessor implanted in the retina. The electrodes of the implanted system convert these signals into electrical impulses to stimulate the retinal cells connected to the optic nerve. These pulses are then transmitted along the optic nerve to the video processing centers of the brain, where they are interpreted as an image.

Use of Technology


To use this technology, patients must have a functional visual pathway from the retina to the brain along the optic nerve and some intact retinal cells. Two technologies to be solved are therefore pigmented degeneration of the retina and age-related macular degeneration.

A-230-LS with SMARC-sAL28 offers up to five 1 GB Ethernet ports compatible with the TSN for IoTKontron applications, the world leader in IoT / Embedded linux  Computing (ECT) technology, announces KBox A-230 - LS, a new compact industrial computing platform designed specifically for time network applications (TSN). KBox A-230-LS is equipped with a SMARC module based on the NXP Dual Cortex A72 LS1028 processor. The SMARC-sAL28 module provides up to five TSN-compatible built-in Ethernet ports directly from the controller and complies with the IEEE 802.1 TSN specifications. As a result, the KBox A-230-LS is the ideal solution for use in industrial environments based on IoT. Compact and fanless Ethernet KBox A -230-LS is designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Two Arm V8 processor cores support real-time processing in industrial control systems and virtual machines to calculate edges in IoT. The central unit contains integrated GPU and LCD controllers for implementing HMI systems. The compact KBox A-230-LS offers numerous interfaces that facilitate connection with various communication levels. The serial interface (RS232 / RS485 and optional CAN) allows the collection of local data and connection to the sensor or machine environment. Integration with the IT environment can take place via Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. In addition to the standard 1 GB Ethernet interface, there are five 1 GB Ethernet ports that are compatible with the TSN. In addition, the KBox A-230-LS has a Display Port connector, a USB 3.0 interface and a USB 2.0 interface. The KBox A-230-LS is equipped with the NXP Dual Cortex A72 LS1028 processor. Supports up to 4 GB DDR3L memory with ECC and has a built-in flash memory eMMC up to 64 GB. Other storage media are SDS SDS, M.2 SSD card or microSD card. System extensions can be implemented using the MiniPCI Express or M.2 interface. Fast and easy to install The KBox A-230-LS is ideal for OEMs and system integrators who want to take full advantage of the next generation of infrastructure in the IoT environment. KB-A-230-LS is also certified for Microsoft Azure and works seamlessly with Microsoft Azure IoT services. Like all computers of the Konoxon KBox A series, the KBox A-230-LS is maintenance-free because the system is without a fan and requires no batteries. The operating system is Linux Yocto. In addition, the KBox A-230-LS optionally supports the Kontron APPROTECT security solution from Wibu-Systems. The integrated security system of Wibu-Systems, combined with the appropriate software infrastructure, protects intellectual property rights and offers protection against copying and reverse engineering. Kontron APPROTECT licenses also enable new business models such as "pay-per-use". In addition, trial versions based on time or activation / deactivation functions are available.

After the launch of the first Galaxy J7 prime cover in 2015, Samsung launched two new J7 models and five models in 2016, not to mention the brand changes of older mobile phones. you can easily grab the (Samsung galaxy J7 prime cases and covers) In this article, we will show you how to find the Galaxy J7 with useful identification tricks.

Check the settings

To make sure, the quickest way is to check the "About Phone" section in Preferences. Open the Settings app, scroll to Phone, and scroll until the model name appears. The 2015 model is acknowledge to "Galaxy J7", the 2016 model will be called "Galaxy J7 (2016)". After that, the situation becomes more and more complicated because the Galaxy J7 phone book includes J7 Prime, J7 Max, J7 Pro and J7 Next.

Look back
A good way to make a difference without having to turn on the phone is to look back. From left to right, we have 2015 white, 2016 gold and 2017 pink.

In the 2015 version, we can see the flash on the left of the camera and on the right a narrow speaker grid. In addition, the 2016 model has a diamond-shaped grid on the left side of the camera and a diamond-shaped lighting module on the right side. Even more striking, the 2017 phone with a diamond-shaped camera area, to which the lens belongs vertically above the flash. (This feature is also shared by the almost identical J7 Pro). A half-line of Wolf antenna is also visible at the top and bottom of the back.

We then have models that do not fall under the simple naming scheme of 2015, 2016 and 2017. From left to right we have J7 Prime, J7 V, J7 Max and J7 Next.

The J7 Prime has a unique rear-view camera configuration: the square camera is rounded in the center and a small square LED flash is on the right side. It also has a perfectly straight horizontal line directly above the camera lens.

The J7 is also easy to spot thanks to the horizontal track through the lens of the camera, flash and the Verizon brand on the back. The same model was also sold in the United States under a different name, Samsung or another mobile service provider, rather than Verizon.

The J7 Max also has a unique feature: a thick silver / gray border around the camera area, with the flash on the right. It also has a small horizontal line that bends directly at each end of the camera.

Finally, we have J7 Next. This phone mimics the look of the first Galaxy J7 model released in 2015, with a left flashlight and a double-row speaker grille on the right. What sets it apart is its texture: thin diagonal lines on the back. In fact, both phones are almost identical. You can say that the accessories work perfectly.

Finally, some other networks have also produced their own versions of J7. For example, in the United States, MetroPCS sells the model number J7 SM-J700T1 2015. Therefore, owners of this phone should look for J7 kits and accessories (2015).

And now?
Now that you have (hopefully) identified your Galaxy J7 model - as beautiful as it is! You will now find the right accessories for your phone. Discover our entire range with the following buttons.
