Diligence rewarded with Lean Pepcom EcoFocus

You can count usually press-only product Pepcom shows, offer a good selection of exhibitors and generous amounts of good food and drink. The food and drinks were in fact plenty of last night's Pepcom EcoFocus event at the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th Street in New York. But the number of environmentally oriented exhibitors was modest, and there were only a few companies, the display-centric products. But when an ad junky looking hard enough, he could find some items of interest.
Toshiba showed a just introduced USB-powered monitor (see first image). A single USB cable provides both power and video to the "Toshiba Mobile Monitor", which weighs 2.8 kilos and has an MSRP of $ 199.99. The 14-inch screen has 1366 × 768 pixels, a luminance of 220 cd / m² and a contrast ratio of 400:1. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7, is Energy Star 5.0 compliant and DisplayLink certified. DisplayLink is the company's IP for USB, VGA card licenses. (I use an outboard motor DisplayLink adapter to power my second desktop monitor, and it just works.)
Small (approximately 7-inch) additional USB monitors, two or three years available, and in the last year of the SID show was 3M and Samsung to increase light yield larger (18-inch) made prototypes, the heavy use of 3M optical films drastically . Nevertheless, these monitors the performance of two USB ports for operation.
But Toshiba 14-inch version is to buy a product, and it needs the power supply from a single USB port to a more than acceptable image. The monitor will act in a leather-like black vinyl portfolio, which folds back as an adjustable stand. The Monitor, in its portfolio is 0.6 inches thick, and Toshiba has been proposed, it will slip in most cases, laptop PC to your touch lcd module.
Toshiba was the promotion of their not-yet-Tablet PC available, "designed to deliver the next generation Android experience." The Toshiba Tablet has a 10.1-inch display with multi-touch and 1280 by 800 pixels, a built-in accelerometer, replaceable Li-ion battery, NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, stereo speakers, two cameras (2.0MP front before and after rear facing 5.0MP), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS and integrated compass, USB and HDMI ports, SD card slot, docking port and Android comb (with Adobe Flash support). It is 0.5 inches thick and weighs 1.5 kilograms. Toshiba obviously worked hard to make any complaint ever about the iPad (with the exception of the weight) address. The Toshiba Tablet's specifications are impressive. We will see if the market finds it exciting when the device hits the market in the first half of this year.
Finally, an interesting thinkeco controllable outlet had to the operation of electronic devices and equipment, if they save in stand-by or consumed nominally "off". The company "modlets" plug into standard sockets and communicate with a PC via a USB plug-in ZigBee transceiver. What is clever about the system is that it collects data from each outlet, power consumption to determine when the device is not used in it is plugged in and proposes to shut down a timetable for really any outlet. The company suggests that a surprisingly large energy savings. lcd module tft
