The magic to personal digital pen
Check out the personal digital pen by Logitech： It’s a magic pen that can store everything you write and transfer it to your computer． And you don’t have t0 lug a hand—held device a10ng with you for it to work．
Logitech’s technology works like this：the pen writes normally，using normal ballpoint pen ink．But while you are writing，a tiny camera inside the pen is also taking 100 snapshots per second of what you are doing，mapping your writing via a patchwork 0f minute dots printed on the paper． AU this information-the movement of your pen on the paper，basically-is then stored digitally inside the pen，whether you are writing notes or drawing complex diagrams． You can store up to 40 pages worth of doodles in the pen’s memory． As far you are concerned，you are just using a normal pen．
It is only when you drop the pen into its PC-connected cradle（支架）that the fun begins．Special software on your PC will figure out what you have done， and begin to download any documents you have written since the last time it was there．Depending on whether you have ticked（打上记号） certain boxes on the special notepad（记事本），it can also tell whether the document is destined to be an e-mail，a“to do”task，or a diagram to be inserted into a word-processing document． Once the documents are downloaded you can view them，print them out or convert them to other formals．
The io personal digital pen is a neat and simply solution to the problem of storing，sharing and retrieving handwritten notes，as well as for handling diagrams，pictures and other non—text d00dling．
You don’t have to cant a 1aptop along with you．all you have to do is just whip out the pen and the special paper and you are off．
It is a great product because it does not force you to work differently-walking around with a screen strapped to your arm，or carrying with you extra hits and pieces．The pen is light and works like a normal pen if you need it to，while the special notepads look and feel like notepads.The Only strange looks will be from people who are curious about why your are writing with a cigar.
The io personal digital pen also has potential elsewhere． Fedex，for example， is introducing a version 0f the pen so that customers can fi11 out forms by hand—instead of punching letter into cumbersome devices． Once that data is digital more or less anything can be done with it-transferring it wirelessly to a central computer，for example, or via a hand-phone. Doctors could transmit their prescriptions direct to pharmacies，reducing fraud；policemen could send their reports back to the station，reducing paper work．
第 41 题 Paragraph 2__________．
Icy Microbes
In ice that has sealed a salty Antarctic 1ake for more than 2，800 years，scientists have found frozen bacteria and algae that returned to 1ife after thawing．The research may help in the search for life on Mars．which is thought to have subsurface lakes of ice．
A research team led by Peter Doran of the University of minois at Chicago drilled through more than 39 feet ice to collect samples of bacteria and algae． When Doran’s team brought them back and warmed them up a bit，they sprang back to life．
Doran said the microbes have been age-dated at 2，800 years old，but even older microbes may 1ive deeper in the ice sheet sealing the lake， and in the briny water bel0W the ice． That deeper ice and the water itself will be cautiously sampled in a later expedition that will test techniques may one day be used on Mars．
Called Lake Vida，the 4.5-square-kilometer body is one of a series of lakes located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica，some 2，200 kilometers due south of New Zealand．This lake has been known since the 1 950s，hut people ignored it because they thought it was just a big block of ice．While at the site for other research in the l 990s，Doran and his colleagues sent radar signals into the clear ice covering the lake and were surprised to find that 62 feet below there was a pool of liquid water that was about seven times more salty than seawater．
That prompted the researchers to return in 1996 with equipment to drill a hole down to within a few feet of the water laver． At the bottom of this hole，researchers harvested specimens of algae and bacteria．
The searchers will return in 2004 equipped with instruments that are sterilized． They will then drill through the full 62 feet of ice and sample some of the briny water from the lake for analysis．The water specimen will be cultured to see if it contains life． Specimens from the water are expected to be even older than the life forms extracted from the ice covering．
