‘Nanocrystal doping’ results in semiconductor nanocrystals with enhanced electrical function

Semiconductor nanocrystals consist of tens to thousands of atoms and are 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These tiny particles have uses in a host of fields, such as solid-state lighting, solar cells and bio-imaging. One of the main potential applications of these remarkable materials is in the semiconductor industry, where intensive miniaturization has been taking place for the last 50 years and is now in the nanometer range.

However, these semiconductors are poor electrical conductors, and in order to use them in electronic circuits, their conductivity must be tuned by the addition of impurities. In this process, foreign atoms, called impurities, are introduced into the semiconductor, causing an improvement in its electrical conductivity.

Today, the semiconductor industry annually spends billions of dollars in efforts to intentionally add impurities into semiconductor products, which is a major step in the manufacturing of numerous electronic products, including computer chips, light emitting diodes and solar cells.

Due to the importance of doping to the semiconductor industry, researchers worldwide have made continuing attempts at doping nanocrystals in order to achieve ever greater miniaturization and to improve production methods for electronic devices. Unfortunately, these tiny crystals are resistant to doping, as their small size causes the impurities to be expelled. An additional problem is the lack of analytical techniques available to study small amounts of dopants in nanocrystals. Due to this limitation, most of the research in this area has focused on introducing magnetic impurities, which can be analyzed more easily. However, the magnetic impurities don't really improve the conductivity of the nanocrystal.

Prof. Uri Banin and his graduate student, David Mocatta, of the Hebrew University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, have achieved a breakthrough in their development of a straightforward, room- temperature chemical reaction to introduce impurity atoms of metals into the semiconductor nanocrystals. They saw new effects not previously reported. However, when the researchers tried to explain the results, they found that the physics of doped nanocrystals was not very well understood.

Bit by bit, in collaboration with Prof. Oded Millo of the Hebrew University and with Guy Cohen and Prof. Eran Rabani of Tel Aviv University, they built up a comprehensive picture of how the impurities affect the properties of nanocrystals. The initial difficulty in explaining this process proved to be a great opportunity, as they discovered that the impurity affects the nanocrystal in unexpected ways, resulting in new and intriguing physics.

"We had to use a combination of many techniques that when taken together make it obvious that we managed to dope the nanocrystals. It took five years but we got there in the end," said Mocatta.

This breakthrough was reported recently in the journal Science. It sets the stage for the development of many potential applications with nanocrystals, ranging from electronics to optics, from sensing to alternative energy solutions. Doped nanocrystals can be used to make new types of nanolasers, solar cells, sensors and transistors, meeting the exacting demands of the semiconductor industry.

Hong Kong, STMicroelectronics, semiconductor ST lays out strategy in HK analysts' day

At an investors' and analysts' meeting called in Hong Kong by STMicroelectronics, the company's senior executives put their best foot forward to explain their view of the market and trends of strategic importance to the company.

Using iSuppli's 2010 data, Didier Lamouche, COO, said the key applications for semiconductors include data processing, wireless and consumer in that order with the highest growth expected in wireless, automotive and industrial over 2010-2014.

Strategic trends

He outlined what ST sees are three key trends across segments, and added that the company's strategy is based on these trends, and on capturing growth in historical and new applications and markets.

Multimedia convergence, according to Lamouche, is the result of one underline trend: "Everyone wants data everywhere and in real-time. And this is driving the need for smart consumer devices."

Yet another trend that cuts across all segments is power reduction. The IT infrastructure domain is now concerned about power consumption just like portable devices have always been. "A modern data center consumes between 5MW and 20MW, which means we need one nuclear power plant for 50 data centers. The data center industry has a higher carbon footprint than the airline industry," explained Lamouche. "Moreover, mobile devices are required to push more and more data [which consumes more power].

"The third one [sensors] is changing the way all the segments of our business are interfacing with the digital IC world," added Lamouche. Francois Guibert, Executive VP & President for Greater China and South Asia, added that STMicroelectronics is the leader in MEMS for consumer electronics and mobile handsets, having generated revenue of $300 million in 2010 (from an iSuppli TAM of $1.6 billion) and shipped over 1 billion accelerometers and gyroscopes.

Ultimate energy efficiency: Magnetic microprocessors could use million times less energy than today's silicon chips

Today's silicon-based microprocessor chips rely on electric currents, or moving electrons, that generate a lot of waste heat. But microprocessors employing nanometer-sized bar magnets -- like tiny refrigerator magnets -- for memory, logic and switching operations theoretically would require no moving electrons.

Such chips would dissipate only 18 millielectron volts of energy per operation at room temperature, the minimum allowed by the second law of thermodynamics and called the Landauer limit. That's 1 million times less energy per operation than consumed by today's computers.

"Today, computers run on electricity; by moving electrons around a circuit, you can process information," said Brian Lambson, a UC Berkeley graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. "A magnetic computer, on the other hand, doesn't involve any moving electrons. You store and process information using magnets, and if you make these magnets really small, you can basically pack them very close together so that they interact with one another. This is how we are able to do computations, have memory and conduct all the functions of a computer."

Lambson is working with Jeffrey Bokor, UC Berkeley professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences, to develop magnetic computers.

"In principle, one could, I think, build real circuits that would operate right at the Landauer limit," said Bokor, who is a codirector of the Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (E3S), a Science and Technology Center founded last year with a $25 million grant from the National Science Foundation. "Even if we could get within one order of magnitude, a factor of 10, of the Landauer limit, it would represent a huge reduction in energy consumption for electronics. It would be absolutely revolutionary."

One of the center's goals is to build computers that operate at the Landauer limit.

Lambson, Bokor and UC Berkeley graduate student David Carlton published a paper about their analysis online in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Fifty years ago, Rolf Landauer used newly developed information theory to calculate the minimum energy a logical operation, such as an AND or OR operation, would dissipate given the limitation imposed by the second law of thermodynamics. (In a standard logic gate with two inputs and one output, an AND operation produces an output when it has two positive inputs, while an OR operation produces an output when one or both inputs are positive.) That law states that an irreversible process -- a logical operation or the erasure of a bit of information -- dissipates energy that cannot be recovered. In other words, the entropy of any closed system cannot decrease.

In today's transistors and microprocessors, this limit is far below other energy losses that generate heat, primarily through the electrical resistance of moving electrons. However, researchers such as Bokor are trying to develop computers that don't rely on moving electrons, and thus could approach the Landauer limit. Lambson decided to theoretically and experimentally test the limiting energy efficiency of a simple magnetic logic circuit and magnetic memory.

The nanomagnets that Bokor, Lambson and his lab use to build magnetic memory and logic devices are about 100 nanometers wide and about 200 nanometers long. Because they have the same north-south polarity as a bar magnet, the up-or-down orientation of the pole can be used to represent the 0 and 1 of binary computer memory. In addition, when multiple nanomagnets are brought together, their north and south poles interact via dipole-dipole forces to exhibit transistor behavior, allowing simple logic operations.

"The magnets themselves are the built-in memory," Lambson said. "The real challenge is getting the wires and transistors working."

Lambson showed through calculations and computer simulations that a simple memory operation -- erasing a magnetic bit, an operation often called "restore to one" -- can be conducted with an energy dissipation very close, if not identical to, the Landauer limit.

He subsequently analyzed a simple magnetic logical operation. The first successful demonstration of a logical operation using magnetic nanoparticles was achieved by researchers at the University of Notre Dame in 2006. In that case, they built a three-input majority logic gate using 16 coupled nanomagnets. Lambson calculated that a computation with such a circuit would also dissipate energy at the Landauer limit.

Because the Landauer limit is proportional to temperature, circuits cooled to low temperatures would be even more efficient.

At the moment, electrical currents are used to generate a magnetic field to erase or flip the polarity of nanomagnets, which dissipates a lot of energy. Ideally, new materials will make electrical currents unnecessary, except perhaps for relaying information from one chip to another.

"Then you can start thinking about operating these circuits at the upper efficiency limits," Lambson said.

"We are working now with collaborators to figure out a way to put that energy in without using a magnetic field, which is very hard to do efficiently," Bokor said. "A multiferroic material, for example, may be able to control magnetism directly with a voltage rather than an external magnetic field."

Other obstacles remain as well. For example, as researchers push the power consumption down, devices become more susceptible to random fluctuations from thermal effects, stray electromagnetic fields and other kinds of noise.

"The magnetic technology we are working on looks very interesting for ultra low power uses," Bokor said. "We are trying to figure out how to make it more competitive in speed, performance and reliability. We need to guarantee that it gets the right answer every single time with a very, very, very high degree of reliability."

The work was supported by NSF and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Power from the air: Device captures ambient electromagnetic energy to drive small electronic devices

"There is a large amount of electromagnetic energy all around us, but nobody has been able to tap into it," said Manos Tentzeris, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering who is leading the research. "We are using an ultra-wideband antenna that lets us exploit a variety of signals in different frequency ranges, giving us greatly increased power-gathering capability."

Tentzeris and his team are using inkjet printers to combine sensors, antennas and energy scavenging capabilities on paper or flexible polymers. The resulting self powered wireless sensors could be used for chemical, biological, heat and stress sensing for defense and industry; radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging for manufacturing and shipping, and monitoring tasks in many fields including communications and power usage.

A presentation on this energy scavenging technology was given July 6 at the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium in Spokane, Wash. The discovery is based on research supported by multiple sponsors, including the National Science Foundation, the Federal Highway Administration and Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Communications devices transmit energy in many different frequency ranges, or bands. The team's scavenging devices can capture this energy, convert it from AC to DC, and then store it in capacitors and batteries. The scavenging technology can take advantage presently of frequencies from FM radio to radar, a range spanning 100 megahertz (MHz) to 15 gigahertz (GHz) or higher.

Scavenging experiments utilizing TV bands have already yielded power amounting to hundreds of microwatts, and multi-band systems are expected to generate one milliwatt or more. That amount of power is enough to operate many small electronic devices, including a variety of sensors and microprocessors.

And by combining energy scavenging technology with supercapacitors and cycled operation, the Georgia Tech team expects to power devices requiring above 50 milliwatts. In this approach, energy builds up in a battery-like supercapacitor and is utilized when the required power level is reached.

The researchers have already successfully operated a temperature sensor using electromagnetic energy captured from a television station that was half a kilometer distant. They are preparing another demonstration in which a microprocessor-based microcontroller would be activated simply by holding it in the air.

Exploiting a range of electromagnetic bands increases the dependability of energy scavenging devices, explained Tentzeris, who is also a faculty researcher in the Georgia Electronic Design Center at Georgia Tech. If one frequency range fades temporarily due to usage variations, the system can still exploit other frequencies.

The scavenging device could be used by itself or in tandem with other generating technologies. For example, scavenged energy could assist a solar element to charge a battery during the day. At night, when solar cells don't provide power, scavenged energy would continue to increase the battery charge or would prevent discharging.

Utilizing ambient electromagnetic energy could also provide a form of system backup. If a battery or a solar-collector/battery package failed completely, scavenged energy could allow the system to transmit a wireless distress signal while also potentially maintaining critical functionalities.

The researchers are utilizing inkjet technology to print these energy scavenging devices on paper or flexible paper-like polymers -- a technique they already using to produce sensors and antennas. The result would be paper-based wireless sensors that are self powered, low cost and able to function independently almost anywhere.

To print electrical components and circuits, the Georgia Tech researchers use a standard materials inkjet printer. However, they add what Tentzeris calls "a unique in house recipe" containing silver nanoparticles and/or other nanoparticles in an emulsion. This approach enables the team to print not only RF components and circuits, but also novel sensing devices based on such nanomaterials as carbon nanotubes.

When Tentzeris and his research group began inkjet printing of antennas in 2006, the paper-based circuits only functioned at frequencies of 100 or 200 MHz, recalled Rushi Vyas, a graduate student who is working with Tentzeris and graduate student Vasileios Lakafosis on several projects.

"We can now print circuits that are capable of functioning at up to 15 GHz -- 60 GHz if we print on a polymer," Vyas said. "So we have seen a frequency operation improvement of two orders of magnitude."

The researchers believe that self-powered, wireless paper-based sensors will soon be widely available at very low cost. The resulting proliferation of autonomous, inexpensive sensors could be used for applications that include:

• Airport security: Airports have both multiple security concerns and vast amounts of available ambient energy from radar and communications sources. These dual factors make them a natural environment for large numbers of wireless sensors capable of detecting potential threats such as explosives or smuggled nuclear material.
• Energy savings: Self-powered wireless sensing devices placed throughout a home could provide continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity conditions, leading to highly significant savings on heating and air conditioning costs. And unlike many of today's sensing devices, environmentally friendly paper-based sensors would degrade quickly in landfills.
• Structural integrity: Paper or polymer-based sensors could be placed throughout various types of structures to monitor stress. Self powered sensors on buildings, bridges or aircraft could quietly watch for problems, perhaps for many years, and then transmit a signal when they detected an unusual condition.
• Food and perishable material storage and quality monitoring: Inexpensive sensors on foods could scan for chemicals that indicate spoilage and send out an early warning if they encountered problems.
• Wearable bio-monitoring devices: This emerging wireless technology could become widely used for autonomous observation of patient medical issues.

Prototype 'optics table on a chip' places microwave photon in two colors at once

This curious "superposition," a hallmark of the quantum world, is a chip-scale, microwave version of a common optics experiment in which a device called a beam-splitter sends a photon into either of two possible paths across a table of lasers, lenses and mirrors. The new NIST circuit can be used to create and manipulate different quantum states, and is thus a prototype of the scientific community's long-sought "optics table on a chip."

Described in Nature Physics, the NIST experiments also created the first microwave-based bit for linear optical quantum computing. This type of quantum computer is typically envisioned as storing information in either the path of a light beam or the polarization (orientation) of single photons. In contrast, a microwave version would store information in a photon's frequency. Quantum computers, if they can be built, could solve certain problems that are intractable today.

The new NIST circuit combines components used in superconducting quantum computing experiments -- a single photon source, a cavity that naturally resonates or vibrates at particular frequencies, and a coupling device called a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device). Scientists tuned the SQUID properties to couple together two resonant frequencies of the cavity and then manipulated a photon to make it oscillate between different superpositions of the two frequencies. For instance, the photon could switch back and forth from equal 50/50 proportions of both frequencies to an uneven 75/25 split. This experimental setup traps photons in a "box" (the cavity) instead of sending them flying across an optical table.

"This is a new way to manipulate microwave quantum states trapped in a box," says NIST physicist José Aumentado, a co-author of the new paper. "The reason this is exciting is it's already technically feasible to produce interesting quantum states in chip-scale devices such as superconducting resonators, and now we can manipulate these states just as in traditional optics setups."

NIST researchers can control how the new circuit couples different quantum states of the resonator over time. As a result, they can create sequences of interactions to make simple optical circuits and reproduce traditional optics experiments. For example, they can make a measurement tool called an interferometer based on the frequency/color of a single photon, or produce special quantum states of light such as "squeezed" light.

Buy Quality Wristwatches Online

The significance of wrist watches needs no debate. Watches are an integral part of our daily living and are used for many more reasons besides their basic function of timekeeping. Today's watches offer features like stop watch, countdown times, lunar calendar, automatic time update, repeater, directions, and more. When shopping for a wrist watch, be certain about the functions you need in it. Buying with too many features will add to the cost without being of much use to you.

If you are part of the go-green movement, you can opt for eco-sensitive like kinetic and solar watches. Kinetic watches are powered by the movement of the person wearing them. When the person moves, a very tiny pendulum built inside the watch starts to move, this pendulum is attached to a pivot which is connected to a miniature dynamo. When pivot moves it generates electricity which is used to power the watch as well as charge the in-built re-chargeable battery. Theses work on the principle of a photovoltaic cells, converting energy from sunlight into electricity. Both are available from leading watch manufacturer such as Seiko, Citizen etc.

Shopping online is the best way to purchase a wrist watch and there are many reasons for it. Online stores offer an extensive range of brands and designs including Seiko, Citizen, Omega, Skagen, and many more. Shopping online eliminates the need of going from one store to another as they offer watches from almost all major brands and designer labels at one place. You can easily search for an online watch store offering watches by the manufacturer of your choice.

Another advantage of shopping online is the costing. Low operating cost of an online store enables its owner to price their products at very reasonable rates. Watch segment is no exception to this. Online watch stores not only provide the most convenient way to shop for watches, they also offer great bargains and discounts as well. But you should always be sure about the authenticity of the website before you place any order.

Famous Watch Brands

With thousands of watch brands making excellent timepieces only a hand-full have reach the level of these famous watch brands. The most recognized brand in the world would have to be Swiss made Zodiac followed by other such top watch brands as Taghuer, Omega, Citizen, Fossil and Seiko. Each brand is unique in it's offering but each serves as benchmark for all watchmakers to strive for in name recognition, the ability to shift trends in the watch industry and customer loyalty.

Zodiac

Unlike most watches, like a wine Zodiac will actually increase in value or at the least maintain it's worth. Watches 20 years and older still sell in the thousands of dollars. Vintage Zodiac watches are as highly sought by collectors as contemporary versions. An innovator of the water-resistant watch, automatic-powered with the movement of the wrist, military watches and day and day/date calendar timepieces.

Omega

Omega while a luxury watch selling the $1000's does not approach the cost of a Zodiac which to many does not put it in the same league. Although many Omega watches sell in the thousands of dollars, it also features entry-level watches like the DeVille and Genve that can be purchased for under $1,000. Famously an Omega watch accompanied the Apollo 11 lunar landing in 1969 but still is best known as watch worn by 007, James Bond. Omega's Seamasters and Speedmasters are the most popular Omega styles.

Seiko

Seiko became known as a famous watch brand in the industry as a pioneer in quartz powered technology during the 1970s. Seiko revolutionized the industry leading many watchmakers to abandon traditional mechanical watches for the more advanced battery power. In the 1990s, Seiko introduced the kinetic watch that is electrically charged by movement. Seiko is now famous for its sports watches: the Ananta, Spring Drive, Sportura, Velatura and Premier.

Citizen

Like Seiko, Citizen offers many collections of sport watches with an emphasis on multifunctional timepieces with additional timekeeping features. Citizen is famous for its Eco-Drive watch in which its timepieces have tiny solar panels under the dial to capture sunlight which powers the watch.

Review of Omega Speedmaster GMT Solar Impulse HB-SIA Watch

The Omega Speedmaster GMT Solar Impulse HB-SIA watch is actually not a very new Omega watch as it first appeared in the Baselworld 2008. But is is sure one of the most interesting and uncommon Speedmaster watches that Omega has released in these years.

As we know, Omega has been supporting the "Solar Impulse" Project which comes out with a the first Solar Impulse HB-SIA plane.The solar-polar plane means a lot in this planet facing serious recourse shortage.To pay tribute to this plane, the Omega watch is named after it. And that is one of the reason behind I call it an uncommon Speedmaster watch.

Another reason is that, it is the first Omega Speedmaster watch made from Titanium. This light and hard material is regarded as a top-class metal in the industry.The 44.25mm case, bracelet and the crown as well as pusher buttons are all crafted from Grade-2 Titanium. The third unusual point is that the watch showcases a very nice-looking carbon fiber dial which is protected by a sapphire crystal with AR-coating.

Beating inside this nice-looking watch is the exclusive Omega 3603 Caliber , a reliable COSC-certified chronometer with 55 hours power reserve. This automatic movement has equipped with Omega's Co-Axial escapement and column wheel based chronograph complication. It offers chronograph functions, GMT and a date display. The GMT hand is independently adjustable while the date can also be adjusted very easily through the crown.

The layout of the watch is nothing special but very classic Speedmaster one. Still, we can find some interesting details on this Omega watch. The font of the numerals is quite futuristic. I really love the GMT tipped with a tiny planet. And you will sure notice the eye-catching orange "HB-SIA" inscription which suggests the name of the airplane - Hotel Bravo Solar Impulse Alpha.The bezel also features "Tachymeter Base 1000"in echoing orange.

The Newest Automatic Watch - Omega Speedmaster

The Omega Speedmaster brand has existed for longer than 5 decades already. Along with the changing times, it continues to sail forward. After all the star appearances in Hollywood, as well as the historic space explorations, specially the moon landing, the Omega watch continues to have something to present.

This time around, the Omega Company reveals a day-date automatic chronograph wrist watch for the Omega Speedmaster collection. The revolutionary watch features both the aggressive touch which comes with the name. Other functions from the innovative Speedmaster watch is the water-resistant ability. The New OS is really a bad boy which will dive up to 100 meters, so do not ever be scared of flashing the timepiece in splashing moments. Gents could absolutely use this timepiece for their water related activities, whether it is for swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling or perhaps surfing.

To offer a much better glance at the OS time piece allow me to share extra information. The Speedmaster is run by a Swiss 3606 caliber self winding automatic movement. This kind of watch mechanism offers a superior accuracy capacity in the performance. Additionally, with this particular Omega watch you shouldn't worry about changing batteries after 5 years or more, because the device can operate with no electric battery being automatically powered by shaking it with your arm, even at sleep. And if you plan to store it for a short while, there is a backup energy, by actively wearing it for 8 successive hours on a daily basis.

This time around, the Omega Speedmaster watch provides a spectacular forty-four hour energy reserve.

Additionally, the Omega crown is guarded not simply from water, but from dust. You possibly will feel free with its appearance for the reason that it includes an anti-reflictive scratch proof sapphire crystal. And with the sapphire, the watch looks quite elegant regardless of what would be the possible impacts.

The day-date automated chronograph wrist watch Omega watch has a pleasing for the eye effect a result of the stainless steel case as well as black dial on the face. Besides the day date month features, the chronograph function also has a tachymeter function. Additionally, the spectacular sub dials show date, day and month. And the intelligent tachymeter bezel creates a possible action so that you can keep an eye on your road activity.

Let us discuss the tachymeter that is certainly very useful when it comes to computing the speed. The brand new Speedmaster includes a graduated dial that will allow you to read the speed with regards to kilometers per hour based on 1000 meters distance length. For example, if you covered the length in thirty seconds as shown in the chronograph while the tachymeter is showing 120, your speed is therefore rated to be one hundred twenty kilometers per hour.

Now, let's discuss a few measurements. OS day-date automatic chronograph watch additionally comes with a deployment buckle that's 40 millimeters in diameter, with luminescent hands as well as markers. For the men, the new Speedmaster includes a diameter of 39 mm excluding the crown. So in order to be sure if it'll look great on you, it is possible to measure the upper surface of your wrist.

Nonetheless you should still be careful when buying a Speedmaster watch. As there are always imitations that are in the market, and remember that no one wishes to spend big cash amounts for a low quality watch. But fortunately, there are easy methods to figure out the fake. One of which is the 'toughened glass' being used as a crystal face.

The Omega Group will continually find methods to supply the needs of the world. But as always be careful with fakes. Nothing beats a genuine Omega Speedmaster timepiece.

Omega The First Watch Preferred By Astronautians

The most prestigious watch company Omega has evolved and sought after brands in the world market. The Omega has countered at other companies who boast of delivering timepieces that last a lifetime in the market. The mind-blowing services of Omega since 15-year, has been immeasurable. There is in-disreputable service guarantee on repairs and the delivery of spare parts for its watches from the date production is indeed unmatchable. Swiss company is developed in loyalty to its high quality and creative design procedures for each time pieces.

The promising 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen at Switzerland in 1848. This made the origin of the Brand watch Omega. After terminated from that company, he traveled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market place Bienne. His two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar controlled over assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control after the death of their father. Aftermath Bienne become the headqurter of Omeag and still is there. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.

It makes new history in 1903. The Omega Company was able to produce 240,000 watches annually and employing over 800 people. This ensued was truly incredible. Paul-Emile, also known as the great architect and builder of Omega, established the company as a world leader by initiating the merger between Omega and Tissot within the group SSIH, Geneva, shortly after the First World War.

By the seventies, SSIH had become Switzerland's number one producer of finished watches and number three in the world. Coming out triumphant from the 1975 recession, the two Swiss giants SSIH and ASUAG (House of brands such as Longines, Rado and Swatch) merged to form the Holding ASUAG-SSIH in 1983. Barely two years later, was the holding company taken over by Nicolas Hayek, who renamed it as SMH. In 1998, the company was christened once again as The Swatch Group.

In addition there are several features that help make a watch water-resistant. The most important is the gaskets, or 0 rings-made of rubber, nylon or Teflon which form watertight seals at the joints where the crystal, case back and crown meet the watch case. if the watch is a chronograph, the chronograph pushers will also have gaskets.

The thickness and material of the case is also a big factor in determining whether a watch can safely be worn underwater. The case must be sturdy enough to withstand pressure without caving in. In general, this means steel or titanium case or a steel case plated with gold, manufacturers say. Solid gold cases can be water resistant provided they are sufficiently thick.

NASA supplied each of the Apollo astronauts with a standard issue Omega Speed master Professional manual-wind wristwatch together with Velcro strap. The Omega Speed master Professional Chronograph was the first watch to be worn on the Moon, and is a NASA favorite. So also the glamour industry too eying Omega watches in high esteem.

In addition, Omega has often been one of the best Official timekeepers for the Olympics since the 1932 Summer Olympiad. The same tradition follows for both the 2006 Winter Olympics and 2008 Summer Olympics in Germany.

Review of Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter Watch

To celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, Omega specially created a gold limited chronograph watch featuring five Olympic rings style and a new type of movement modification in that year. And the style was so well-received that Omega decided to make it big. Just few days ago, Omega announced the launch of the Omega De Ville 4-Counters Co-Axial Chronograph watch that aimed to grab the market earlier 2010. And now this brand proudly releases the Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter Watch which, as the name suggests, is a sexy combo of Speedmaster design features and the timeless Olympic games touch. And this new Omega watch houses the same movement as the De Ville model mentioned above.

To my knowledge, there are at least two more Seamaster and Speedmaster based watches are activated by the same movement. What is more, they are members of the new Timeless Olympic collection that has strong Olympic design cues. And as far as I know, these timepieces are all limited editions. Anyway, I am thrilled that the adorable movement can power more nice watches.

This Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter watch becomes my favorite. It is the best with simple style yet elegant look. Omega gives it the new Speedmaster case and the merits of some classic models. The dial is quite clean with few text, and looks quite retro with vintage Red Omega logo and old-fashioned Arabic numerals. And the match of arrow hour hand and dagger minute hand is classic and tasteful. The bezel with tachymetre scale is faithful to the Speedmaster style.

The watch is likely to be 42mm wide and done in stainless steel. And the case back will most likely bears the Olympics themed engraving. Beating inside the watch is the Omega Caliber 3888 Co-Axial automatic movement that provides both chronograph functions and calendar. And the watch is expected to hit stores early 2010 with a price tag around 5,380 euros.

Luxury Watches With Novelty Attraction

Novelty watches will most often refer to a style, which is fun and also sometimes wacky. They will feature animated characters, sports celebrities, and action heroes on the dials, but the watches I will highlight are not created merely and solely for entertainment's sake...they are quality Swiss made timepieces, which have been designed with a novel architecture. In short, the watches showcased below are different and special, in one novel way or another. These timepieces by Movado, Omega and Fruitz, all offer a distinct design:

• You may not think of Movado's watches as novel or different, but when George Hewitt took his blueprint of the Museum dial to watch makers around the world...they were the only one to see its significance. The Museum dial, although it has been around since 1947, was a novel design, which has stood the test of time.

• The Fruitz watches are, relatively new and their outer styling, along with their secret inner technology, make them one of the most novel watch brands, around. Fruitz watches utilize Natural Frequency Technology disks to enhance our mood and well-being, plus their designs are fun. Each watch design is inspired by the look and color of fresh cut fruit.

• Omega has a well deserved reputation as a superior watch maker. Their novel creations emphasize their innovation and craftsmanship. Omega's Moon Watch was the first watch to be taken on the moon. Simply to be able to produce a watch, which would perform in zero gravity is unique and novel.

Omega Supplements For Dogs

Omega supplements are required for your dogs if you wish them live life the fullest. These supplements contain the necessary fatty acids responsible for maintaining animal health. Regular intake of omega fatty acids is known to produce positive effects such lengthen the lifespan of your pet, reduce inflammation from probable arthritis, allergies and irritation, and protection from involving the heart and immune system.

Choosing the right omega supplement for your dogs is an important decision. Fish oil and flax seed oil are the two famous sources of fatty acid supplements. Omega-3, which is known to act against inflammation, is more abundant in the latter but is in inactive form. While the omega content in fish oil is in active state. This is the reason why fish oil is the most desirable omega fatty acid supplement.

What are Omega Supplements for Dogs made from? EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are its active forms. DHA is needed in high amounts in the brain and eyes for optimal functioning. Once detected in severely low levels, learning ability, mental development and visual acuity can be in danger, both in the young and the elderly. When combined, DHA and EPA, various research says it can contribute in precluding and managing conditions that involve cardiovascular system, and other chronic disease, too. DHA, according to the standard dosage, should only be consumed at 80 mg a day, while only 50mg/day of EPA is the maximum allowed amount of intake.

Recommended Dosage of Omega Supplements

Basically the recommended dosage of omega supplement is dependent upon the build of the dog. Large dogs need about 800mg of it per week. The requirement for medium dogs is about 500mg and small dog's dosage is about 250mg. However, it is highly encouraged to consult your veterinarian before giving supplements to your pet to check for unknown allergies.

On the other hand, it is important for pet owners to note that excess ingestion of Omega-3 can cause some minor discomforts such as indigestion, loose stool, and gas problems, but nothing fatal. It may be mild but it can be a source of added stress to your pets. So if you feel the need to increase or lower down the prescribed amount, discuss your plan with a doctor first.

The History of Your Bulova Wrist Watch

That Bulova wrist watch you're wearing isn't just stylish - it represents over 100 years of quality watchmaking. Whether you prefer a Bulova chronograph or a Concord ladies watch, it's important to know your timepiece history!

The Bulova wrist watch company was established by a Bohemian immigrant named Joseph Bulova in 1875. Bulova began manufacturing watches in Woodside, New York, where the company headquarters remain to this day, in addition to Flushing.

Bulova company began creating innovative watchmaking techniques from day one, but the business really started making history in 1941, when it purchased the world's first commercial on television. The commercial aired on July 1 on New York's WNBT station immediately before a baseball game featuring the Dodgers and the Phillies. Believe it or not, the commercial cost only $4!

Four years later, the Joseph Bulova School of Watchmaking opened its doors. The institution was founded to train disabled WWII veterans, however its operations soon expanded to cater to a more diverse body of students.

Of course, it's impossible to mention Bulova without covering the Accutron timepieces, which hit stores in the fall of 1960. The Accutron watches featured a revolutionary technology developed by the Swiss inventor Max Hetzel, who had been working for Bulova since the late 1940s. (Hetzel is just one example of Swiss ingenuity - just look at the Swiss-born Concord Mariner series!)

Drawing its power from a unique tuning fork system, the Bulova Accutron was the world's first electronic watch. Inside the casing, a 360 hertz tuning fork sat between two electromagnet coils, which formed a single-transistor oscillator circuit. This drove the fork, which in turn powered the watch's hands and allowed the device to keep time. The original Accutron was discontinued in 1977 after over 4 million of the timepieces had been sold.

The invention of the Accutron launched Bulova not just into the national spotlight - but into space. Throughout the 1960s, Bulova competed with its rival Omega to create the "first watch on the moon." Omega won this battle, as Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin had an Omega Speedmaster Professional on his wrist when he first set foot on the moon.

But the Bulova wrist watch company also came out on top - and in space - as NASA used tuning-fork-powered Accutrons for all of its spacecraft time-keeping devices. This is because scientists were unsure how other electronic movements would fare under low gravity.

To commemorate its contribution to the space program, the Bulova wrist watch Accutron line of timepieces currently features a limited edition Astronaut watch. Only 1,000 of these watches were made, and each is individually numbered with a caseback autographed by "Buzz" Aldrin himself.

Bulova made headlines once again in 2007, when a dredging team discovered an automatic Bulova wrist watch on the floor of the Gibraltar Harbor. The watch had been lost by a sailor in 1941, and was returned to him in 2008, still ticking!

The History of Your Bulova Wrist Watch

Before You Buy a Swiss Aviator Watch, Take a Look at Volmax

As a watch collector and amateur horologist, I've noticed one watch company flying under the radar, seemingly overlooked in the clutter of brand names. That company is Volmax, a Russian watch company headquartered in Moscow.

If you are thinking about buying a Breitling or Omega or other brand of pilot or aviator watch, I'd suggest taking a look at Volmax, especially if the prices of the big Swiss brands are making you hesitant.

Though you may not have heard of them, Volmax is not exactly new on the scene. The company was formed in 2000 when a group of experienced watch professionals took over the Poljot factory. Poljot was the most recognized and prestigious name in the history of Russian watchmaking. It could be said that Volmax has taken over where Poljot left off. Indeed, the company has a great pedigree.

Volmax watches are not marketed under the "Volmax" name. Instead, the company produces and markets several different lines. My favorite line of watches under the Volmax umbrella is Aviator, a brand strongly tied to Russia's rich aviation history.

A good example of a watch in this line is the Hughes Aviator. It's a classic "aviator" watch in the generic sense of the word. The watch was developed with a marketing tie-in to the movie "The Aviator", the story of eccentric aviation pioneer Howard Hughes, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio.

The quality of Volmax watches is good and their performance compares favorably to many Swiss aviator-style chronographs -- even though some models cost only one-third of the price.

Most Volmax watches are based on the Poljot 3133 chronograph movement, which has been produced since 1975. It's a reliable, hand-wound movement that serves as the heart of the watch. Other models are equipped with Swiss ETA 2671 and ETA 7750 movements.

Cases for Aviator watches are made of stainless steel. You see, true pilot watches cannot be made of gold or other soft metals.

Another Volmax watch that might interest Omega buyers is the Shturmanskie. The name is a mouthfull, but did you know that the first man in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, wore a a Shturmanskie on the cuff of his space-suit during that historic flight?

I'm Calling For Limitations on Limited Edition Watches

What do you think a large luxury company REALLY thinks of you when you go out and buy one of their "limited edition" watches?

Are they thinking, "Oh this guy is a sophisticated man and must really like my watches so I better treat him extra nice." Or are they saying, "I can't believe this sucker actually bought one..."

Because if you think about it, what REALLY is a limited edition watch? It of course implies that there is a limited production, but all watches have some sort of limit to their production. And what is that production limited TO? It could be 200, but it could just as well be 200,000.

I sometimes wonder if people think these things through...

In my mind I think "limited" edition watch is a pathetic excuse for a watch company to charge even more obscene amounts of money by exploiting a fanbase or by appealing to that famous male sense of one-upmanship and exclusivity. Because on the whole, a limited edition watch is largely some silly variation of the original that you have to convince yourself you like so you can buy it, but in truth you only want it for bragging rights.

One of the limited edition watches that annoys me the most is the Omega Seamaster Limited Edition "Bond" Watches. I mean the Omega Seamaster is already the watch that James Bond wears, so why spend the extra money on the James Bond limited edition? which as far as I can tell, is just the same version with a stupid engraving on the back and a "007" carving on the seconds hand.

Do you think that James Bond wears a James Bond Limited Edition Watch? What kind of egotistical prick would he be? And what would he think of you?

I don't think he would be flattered. I think that he would probably think that you were some hopeless middle class would-be copycat who was foolish enough to think that, by simply buying a watch, you will magically transformed into James Bond, women will want to sleep you and you will become just as suave and sophisticated and he is.

My guess is that you'll still be the same yahoo, only with a nicer watch and a clearly broadcast message that you are dissatisfied with your life and aspire for something more.

On top of that, limited edition watches don't ever seem to be as exclusive as watch companies lead you to believe. Just how many limited edition watches are there?

In my opinion, the watches TRULY worth owning do not feel the need to advertise. They may have a small side note in their catalog which states their limited production (which can be VERY limited in some cases), but that's it!

But...

If you TRULY like a limited edition watch and can justify the huge difference in price over the original than by all means get one, but in my opinion, "limited edition" is just a silly marketing term to some silly variation of the original that no one really likes and no one really cares about.

Omega Watches Value and Benefits

Omega watches are known for retaining their value for a long time. A big part of this is due to co-axial escapement. Assisted by the success of caliber 2500, Omega developed the first mass-production time-piece that incorporated a coaxial escapement. Invented by George Daniels, a watchmaker from England, and recognized as the most important watch-making advance in recent times. The coaxial escapement virtually eliminates the need for lubrication, which greatly increases precision and the need for maintenance over time.

Radial friction causes less strain on the movement's parts, as opposed to sliding friction. This in turn results in Omega's watches being able retain their value for a longer time than their competitors. It also reduces the amount of maintenance the time piece will need to undergo over time to virtually a fraction of watches with other types of movement.

Another factor in Omega watches retaining their value is the quality which they are produced with. Each new Omega movement has to pass extensive standards. The movements are tested in existing Omega watches, and, at the same time, various lab examinations are conducted to verify the movement's ability to resist temperature, shock and vibration. The precision of the movement is also tested. Along with this, when a new case has been produced, it is subjected to various tests as well. The decision on whether to manufacture a new case is only taken if the new prototype passes all tests assuring great quality.

Omega watches are heavily sought after time pieces due to the company's thorough advertising campaigns, and endorsement of major worl wide athletic competitions, such as the Olympics. By participating in massive marketing campaigns that drive sales, the Omega brand is has a universal perception of quality, precision and design.

Omega Watches and the 2008 Olympics - A Record Relationship

I'm sure you've seen the prominent place Omega Watches at the Olympics in Beijing, China. Omega is the official timekeeper for the 2008 Olympics. This is the 23rd time that Omega has held this position the first of which was in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. At that time, one technician used 30 stopwatches. At the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, watchmaker Paul-Louis Guignard took 185 chronographs, which fit into one suitcase. With the rapid acceleration of timing technology the 2008 Olympic games figures to be the most reliable and accurate in the history of the Olympics. We already saw the accuracy of this technology, specifically Omega's Touch Pad systems, as Michael Phelps when for his record straight eight gold medals.

At the Beijing Olympic games, Omega is utilizing 109 miles of cables and over 400 tons of timing equipment. Digital photo timing equipment, called Scan O'Vison, will be used for the sprints, hurdles, and medium length races. Omega is also integrating GPS transponders into their timing systems for sailing, rowing and marathon competitions. Given the sophistication of Omega's timing equipment, results down to 2,000thof a second are now being reported. This is quite a department from the 1954 Olympics where results in the nearest 100th of a second recorded and in the 1932 Olympics where results were only reported to the nearest 10th of a second. Swiss timing technology then has increased the validity and reliably of newly established World Records allowing for a more pure measure of an athlete's true ability by dramatically reducing measurement error. There is no doubt the timing technology will continue to improve and thus allow for greater precision and accuracy in future Olympic Games and World Championships.

Omega is part of the Swatch Group, which is the world's largest watchmaker. For over 50 years Omega has been the premier Swiss watch for active people, as it is known for its durability, precision, and style. It was also the first watch used by Astronauts on the Moon. Given its involvement and global exposure as the official timekeeper of the 2008 Olympics, Omega expects to dramatically increase its consumer watch sales. Specifically, the Seamaster and Timeless watch series are expected to exceed sales expectations. One might guess this is primarily because consumers want their own small piece of the magic of the 2008 Olympic Games.

Value For Money - Omega Watches

To answer this question we must first understand the type of brand Omega is. Omega is considered as one of the best watchmakers around and has a range of watches that denote quality. Prices therefore start from little under a grand and range upwards and in excess of three thousand pounds.

Despite the high prices however, Omega is one of the highest selling watch brands. This is for two main reasons;

The first reason is Quality.

Omega watches are known for their brilliant quality. The company know this and do their best to play on this but they are not the only ones that need to do this. Distributors and those that sell watches in shops all know that Omega watches are of very high quality too and this is certainly one of the unique selling points when consumers decide they want to buy. But that is not all. Anyone that knows anything about watches for example consumers looking to buy watches also know of the high quality of Omega watches and are therefore already in a position where they need only to choose the right style that suits them.

This brings us on to the second reason - Style.

Together with the high quality, Omega watches also boast many fine styles too. Some of these styles, including the Planet Ocean range and the Seamaster range are considered to be two of the nicest and most sought after styles of watches around. Again, both the seller knows this and can play on this to their advantage, and the consumer knows this too. In fact, such are the popularity of these styles that when a new model hits the shops, the individual watches can be hard to pick up as they are so much in demand.

With these two considerations in mind, consumers can go to their desired locations to buy Omega watches at ease knowing that they will be getting value for money. Although some may disagree, price for Omega watch lovers is not the biggest factor. If these consumers decide they want a particular watch, then they will buy that particular watch.

So in conclusion, although Omega watches can be expensive, it is not the price consumers are looking at. It is actually the watch itself and the individual watch models particular style and level of quality that consumers are interested in. Let us hope they find what they are looking for!
