The drive has a built-in processor and can handle a number of functions including computer backup, "remote" backup over the Internet and the aforementioned video surveillance recording.
Scientists Anantha Chandrakasan, director of MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, and his colleague Yogesh Ramadass have created extremely efficient circuitry in an EKG sensor with a built-in processor and wireless radio.
NEC subsidiary NEC System Technologies has developed a power strip [JP] with a built-in processor, sensor (the device pictured on the right) and remote control that can cut power consumption by as much as 15% and more.
That process of spotting, adjusting the sights, and altering the bullet's ballistic trajectory bit by bit and degree by degree may soon no longer be necessary: Sandia Labs has developed a bullet with a built-in processor that guides its own flight via tiny adjustable fins.
The system uses a four degree of freedom (4 DOF) pan-tilt-verge stereo camera head (built in-house) coupled with an inexpensive hardware image processor.
One way is using TSC (Time Stamp Counter) that is built in the processors as a register.
Most word processing programs now have built in outline processors--though many computer users seem to be unaware of this option.
Isn't there a possibility here, then, that a TV manufacturer like Samsung or LG could just produce a television with a built in multi-core processor and high-end graphics card and cut peripheral boxes out of the equation?
The possibility of creating innovative lighting using LEDs may be enticing to interior designers, but it is the prospect of using processors built in to LED lights to make intelligent lighting systems that is getting many of the researchers involved in the industry excited.
Qualcomm believes its tech will be the first processor with built in LTE to support the new IoT OS when support launches later in the year.
Display parts will be built in South Korea, for example, and processors will be made in Taiwan, he said.
