The secret to Xtrac IGS is the integration of a ratchet and pawl mechanism between each gear hub and the main shaft so that two consecutive gear ratios can be selected and engaged simultaneously, but with only one set of gears driving. <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/xtrac-shows-seamless-gearchange-alternative-to-dual-clutch-transmission/17138/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/" style="float: left; ">AROUND THE HOME</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/phone-x-phone-iphone-dock/17139/">iPhone dock turns your mobile into conventional phone</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/author/rick-martin/">Rick Martin</a></p> <p><em>21:36 December 1, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20101202164406im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/phone-x-phone-iphone-dock/17139/picture/125562/">6 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/phone-x-phone-iphone-dock/17139/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202164406im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/phonexphone-3.jpg" title="iPhone dock turns your mobile into conventional phone" alt="iPhone dock turns your mobile into conventional phone"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Years of progress in making phones smaller and more portable have all been dismissed in one stroke by Japanese gadget and novelty company Hashy-Topin.

Unfortunately, however, burning wood releases carbon into the atmosphere – a conundrum for people who want to minimize their CO2 footprint but still stay warm. U.S. company VIASPACE Green Energy, however, has just started selling a product that it claims will provide customers with fire fodder, while being almost carbon-neutral: fireplace logs made from compressed Giant King Grass. <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/grass-based-fireplace-logs-have-low-co2/17134/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/electronics/" style="float: left; ">ELECTRONICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/cmos-integrated-silicon-nanophotonics-chip-from-ibm/17136/">New IBM chip technology integrates electrical and optical devices on the same piece of silicon</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>19:38 December 1, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20101202164406im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/cmos-integrated-silicon-nanophotonics-chip-from-ibm/17136/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20101202164406im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/cmos-integrated-silicon-nanophotonics-chip-from-ibm/17136/picture/125552/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/cmos-integrated-silicon-nanophotonics-chip-from-ibm/17136/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202164406im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/cmosintegratedsiliconnanophotonics.jpg" title="IBM Scientists (L to R) Yurii Vlasov, William Green and Solomon Assefa have unveiled a new..." alt="IBM Scientists (L to R) Yurii Vlasov, William Green and Solomon Assefa have unveiled a new..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>IBM has announced another breakthrough in its long term research goal to harness the low power consumption and incredible speed promised by optical computing. Following on from the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/ibm-photonic-communication-device/14474/" target="_blank">Germanium Avalanche Photodetector</a> – a component able to receive optical information signals at 40 Gb/sec and multiply them tenfold using a mere 1.5V supply – the company has now unveiled a new chip technology that integrates electrical and optical devices on the same piece of silicon. So how far can this technology take us? Eventually, IBM hopes, all way to the Exascale – that's one million trillion calculations per second. <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/cmos-integrated-silicon-nanophotonics-chip-from-ibm/17136/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/digital-cameras/" style="float: left; ">DIGITAL CAMERAS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/zoom-q3hd-handy-video-recorder-release-price/17135/">Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Recorder released</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/author/gizmag-team/">Gizmag Team</a></p> <p><em>18:58 December 1, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/zoom-q3hd-handy-video-recorder-release-price/17135/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202164406im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/zoom-q3hd.jpg" title="Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Recorder" alt="Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Recorder"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>We first looked at Zoom's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202164406/http://www.gizmag.com/zoom-q3hd-high-definition-handy-recorder-announced/16567/" target="_blank">Q3HD Handy Video Recorder</a> when it was announced in October.
