◆ 01:Deep learning

Deep learning is a new kind of neural network technology which imitated the countless neuron mechanisms constituting the human brain more precisely than before. Currently Google and China search enginesBaiduIs engaged in research and the accuracy of search enginesIt is thought that it can raise it more.


◆ 02:Seminary social media

Messages that quickly disappear when they are created boost the privacy of online communication and make people more free and voluntary.


◆ 03:New prenatal diagnosis

IlluminaIt is possible to read fetal DNA by the technique. Although this can be said as the next frontier of the genetic revolution, there is a growing concern that reading pregnant women and physicians may confuse pregnant women and doctors against reading genes of babies who have not seen yet.


◆ 04:New production method

One of the trends of last year was popularization of 3D printers, but the world's largest complexGeneral ElectricIs beginning to make parts of jet aircraft by 3D printing, and the form of production of enterprises has also changed drastically.


◆ 05:Memory Implant

According to a neuroscientist, he clarified the code of the portion of the human brain that performs long-term memory. If this is the case, it is considered possible to implant the implant in the brain.


◆ 06:Smart Watch

We used electronic paper with acceleration sensor and waterproof functionPebbleIs a wrist watch that can exchange information with iPhone and Android terminal via Bluetooth. You will be able to operate with your smartphone in your pocket.


◆ 07:Technology to collect big data from mobile phones

By collecting and analyzing people's information using a relatively inexpensive mobile phone, we can gain insight into the movement and state of people, and it helps to understand how diseases are spreading.


◆ 08:Super grid

Switzerland's power equipment giant ABB received an order from the Indian Electricity Network Corporation for an ultrahigh-voltage transmission system for about 1728 km of power transmission project connecting northeast India and Agra city of Uttar Pradesh with $ 900 million. High-performanceCircuit breakerWe succeeded in making a power grid for DC power transmission.


◆ 09:Efficient solar system

Electricity generation using solar energy has been a bottleneck in efficiency, but in recent years, solar systems that generate twice the energy of conventional solar systems have been developed, and it seems that the date of replacement with existing fossil fuels is near.


◆ 10:Baxter

rumbaRobotics engineer Rodney Brooks invented a new invention "Baxter" industrial robot. This is an inexpensive robot that SMEs can introduce, it is possible to teach the boxing of goods and assembling etc with easy setting.


You can see how Baxter actually works from the following movies.
