HTC Butterfly has Large Consumer Demand in Japan

One of smartphones with full HD screens  (1080p), namely HTC Butterfly. And, according to information released by Focus Taiwan, the mobile phone has another name HTC J Butterfly for the Japanese market are mentioned selling well in the Japan.

The level of demand for HTC Butterfly in Japan known to be very high. In fact, the market there reported experiencing difficulties in meeting large consumer demand for Android phone with 5-inch screen plus quad-core 1.5 GHz processor.

Because the stock is running low in Japan, HTC also plans to immediately send back products at the end of this month. Unfortunately, until now there is still no official information how much shipping capacity for Butterfly phones which HTC has planned for the Japanese market.

New advances in brain controlled computer cursor

For the millions of traumatic brain injury victims, neuro-degenerative diseases, strokes, or different neurological diseases, paralysis could be a devastating consequence. Scientists in the field of neural prostheses for years tried to address limb paralysis by developing implantable brain sensors that translate thoughts to actions such as computer cursor movement. Perfecting the computer algorithm for this translation has proven to be a big challenge. But recently, researchers at Stanford University have designed an algorithm, known as ReFIT, that greatly improves the speed and accuracy of neural prostheses which control computer cursors.

The advantage of the ReFIT technology is that it allows the system to make immediate adjustments while guiding the cursor to a target, just as a hand and eye work together to move a mouse-cursor onto an icon on a computer desktop.

According to the press release:

The system relies on a silicon chip implanted into the brain, which records �action potentials� in neural activity from an array of electrode sensors and sends data to a computer. The frequency with which action potentials are generated provides the computer key information about the direction and speed of the user�s intended movement�. 

In side-by-side demonstrations with rhesus monkeys, cursors controlled by the ReFIT algorithm doubled the performance of existing systems and approached performance of the real arm. Better yet, more than four years after implantation, the new system is still going strong, while previous systems have seen a steady decline in performance over time. 

�These findings could lead to greatly improved prosthetic system performance and robustness in paralyzed people, which we are actively pursuing as part of the FDA Phase-I BrainGate2 clinical trial here at Stanford,� said [Krishna] Shenoy.

The efficiency of cursor movement ranged from between 75-85 percent of the speed of real arms � a remarkable advancement.
