The G51J is the latest 15-inch gaming notebook from ASUS, sporting the new Intel Core i7 mobile processor and Windows 7 operating system. This notebook shares a lot of features with the previous G51VX, with only a hardware refresh to support the Core i7 processor. With a starting price of $1,499, it is priced $200 below the previous version ... which is a huge plus for buyers on a budget. Check out our full review to see how this Core i7 update performs.
The R22 2MP color LCD monitor offers accurate display of color and grayscale gradations for MRI, PET, CR images and 3D rendering. RadiForce 2MP color dual head bundle with two R22 displays and one MED2mp PCI video card with a 3 year warranty.
FineContrast and DICOM Settings
FineContrast function consists of six user-selectable modes, each with different settings for brightness and gamma. It includes two DICOM modes - DICOM-CL and DICOM-BL for clear and blue base film, as well as Custom, sRGB, Calibration, and Text modes.
Automatic Mode Switching
For further convenience, FineContrast modes can be assigned to any application with the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD (for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Me and 98SE) utility software. When the application is opened, the screen automatically changes to its assigned mode.
The EIZO-developed bundled software ToneCurve Tuning Utility (for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Me and 98SE) uses the monitor's 10-bit look-up tables (LUT) for adjustment of grayscale and color tones to the desired values. Even tones in
high and low brightness areas of the screen, typically problematic for LCD monitors to display, can be adjusted easily and accurately.
Backlight Saver
With ScreenManager Pro for Medical utility software installed, the Backlight Saver function allows for the monitor's backlight to turn off when the screen saver is activated and the monitor's backlight to turn on when the computer comes out of the screen saver mode. This function helps to reduce power consumption when the monitor is used for a prolonged period of time.
A More Comfortable Working Space with Widescreen, a 16:10 aspect ratio, you can view patient charts and DICOM medical images with no overlap. The increased horizontal space this affords means you can also view whole intestinal images along with the navigation window.
RadiCS LE Quality Control Software Included
The bundled RadiCS LE quality control software comes with a Status Analyzer function which observes the monitor's status. When the self-diagnosis function detects a change in luminance, a warning icon appears on the desktop taskbar enabling prompt detection and correction. This reduces the time spent administering to the monitor. Furthermore, with the optional UX1 sensor, you can calibrate toPortrait Mode Support
90° pivot for portrait mode gives you versatility with images or applications requiring more vertical viewing space. Graphics board that supports portrait mode is required.
DUE for Brightness Uniformity
The Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) function provides optimum backlight luminance uniformity which is considered difficult to attain due to the characteristics of LCD monitors.
Calibration Mode Selection
Selectable with the front panel buttons, the CAL Switch function allows for various calibration modes of different modalities such as CR, CT, and endoscope images. Furthermore, auto mode settings can be made with the Auto CAL Switch function.
Backlight Saver
The Backlight Saver function allows for the monitor's backlight to turn off when the screen saver is activated and the monitor's backlight to turn on when the computer comes out of the screen saver mode. This function helps to reduce power consumption when the monitor is used for a prolonged period of time.

The latest 13-inch MacBook isn't really a replacement for the classic white MacBook (which is still available). Instead, it's an entirely new laptop in a "unibody" enclosure made from a single piece of aluminum. Read more
Scientists at Intel's research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find ways to read and harness human brain waves so they can be used to operate computers, television sets and cell phones. The brain waves would be harnessed with Intel-developed sensors implanted in people's brains.
The scientists say the plan is not a scene from a sci-fi movie -- Big Brother won't be planting chips in your brain against your will. Researchers expect that consumers will want the freedom they will gain by using the implant.
"I think human beings are remarkable adaptive," said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. "If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying compute squar:computerworld.com/s/article/9141180/Intel_Chips_in_b
