SAN FRANCISCO - (Duty WIRE) - ISSCC Conference - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a leading global flash memory cards, announced today that it received in 2009 ISSCC Lewis Field Outstanding Paper Award of 2010 IEEE International Solid -- Congress State Circuits (ISSCC), held Feb. 8-12 at the Marriot Hotel in San Francisco. The award was presented to Cuong Trinh, supervisor, engineering design, SanDisk, who delivered a paper at the conference last year entitled "A 5.6MB / s 64GB 4b/Apartment NAND Flash memory in 43nm CMOS ", which detailed key advances leading to improvements in the 4-bit per cell (X4) memory of 43-nanometer (nm) technology.
"On behalf of the team at SanDisk, I am honored to inherit this prestigious award in recognition of our successful development of technology ™ X4," said Cuong Trinh, SanDisk. "Using Management tribute X4 our patented controller schemes and signal processing encypher exceptionally robust error correction, we were able to achieve four-bits per cell with high performance and low cost.
Ricoh CX2 review
20.01.10
By the skin of one's teeth six months after Ricoh launched its excellent CX1 , its successor is already here. The CX1’s most impressive specifications are further improved, with a zoom choice up from 7.1x to 10.7x and continuous shooting now at a staggering 5fps.
Unlike the souped-up continuous modes on some other compendious cameras, this one runs at the full resolution and is limited only by the speed of the SDHC card – with a Sandisk Extreme III index card it slowed to 3.5fps after 28 shots.
The 3in, 920,000-pixel screen is unchanged from the CX1. This mask is far sharper than the 230,000- and 460,000-pixel screens in rival cameras and is a delight to use, uniquely when adjusting the focus manually.
It’s disappointing that manual exposure remains absent, though. There are diversified advanced functions such as bracketing for exposure, white balance and focus, but it’s hard to guess anyone who will want these features but not require manual exposure controls. Another frustration is that the Auto ISO standard operating procedure refused to venture beyond ISO 200, and even Auto-Hi was limited to ISO 400. Users will need to change the ISO speed manually to avoid excessively slow shutter speeds in low light.
