SANYO Giving Test Rides of Eneloop eBike at CES

By Dena Cassella Published January 6, 2010

SANYO announced this morning it will offer journalists test rides of its award-winning “eneloop bike” at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show on Thursday January 7^th. SANYO says its “Synergetic Hybrid Bicycle” model of the eneloop bike, which was formally announced in September 2009, is a pedal-assist electric hybrid bicycle. The new eBike recently received the Best of Innovations award for CES 2010 due to overall achievements in the “Eco-Design and Sustainable Technology” category.

Also at Showstoppers CES 2010, SANYO will unveil a full-size mock-up of its planned electric vehicle solar charging station that the company has devised for all types of electric vehicles, including automobiles and eBikes. SANYO claims the EV solar charging station features the world’s highest energy conversion efficiency in practical size (100cm² or more) crystalline silicon-type solar cells, capable of generating up to 30 percent more power than single-side solar panels.

The eneloop bike is priced at $2,299.95.

The FBI secretly built an entire fake town just to practice cyberattacks

Hidden inside a warehouse in Alabama, the Kinetic Cyber Range recreates real-world digital attacks from start to finish.

While Hollywood has fake cities for filming movies, the FBI apparently has one for getting hacked. The agency has pulled back the curtain on its Kinetic Cyber Range, a 22,000-square-foot replica small town hidden inside its Huntsville, Alabama campus. But instead of training officers for shootouts or hostage rescues, the facility is designed to simulate realistic cyberattacks on homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure so investigators can practice responding to them in a controlled environment.

Brazil’s secret World Cup weapon taught the team when to ignore it

The data said he wasn't running enough. The footage said he was always in the “perfect tactical position.”

Soccer ball in net

Brazil has more World Cup titles than anyone, five of them to be precise, but after going through five straight tournaments without adding to that count, the team is leaning hard on data this time.

Every player wears a sensor-packed "smart vest" tracking field position (via GPS), heart rate, and a stat called "player load," the same kind of numbers that your Whoop band or Apple Watch brags about, but tuned specifically for the sport.

New OLED breakthrough could make the next see-through screen actually worth using

The electrode fix that could finally make see-through screens worth looking at.

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Every transparent OLED demo I’ve seen so far looks amazing for about ten seconds, right before I notice how dim or smudgy it actually looks. A big part of the problem is the role that electrodes play in the design.

A transparent display requires a see-through electrode that sits on top of incredibly delicate organic light-emitting layers. However, most of the usual options either conduct electricity poorly or risk damaging those layers during manufacturing.
