Researchers launch cubic millimeter computer and it will stick in the eye

Scientists and Engineers of University of Michigan computer at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco presented papers on two systems :

A prototype implantable eye pressure monitor for glaucoma patients and a compact radio for wireless sensor networks. It is as-of-yet-unnamed mini-computer was created as implantable ocular pressure monitor for patients with glaucoma, but the authors see a future in which we are all swarming with little buggers. Access to little more than a cubic millimeter of space, food thing a pressure sensor, memory, thin film batteries, solar cell, wireless, and low-power microprocessor, all in a very small translucent container. Processor for this little guy uses the “extreme” to keep the bed to sleep at 15 minute intervals and suck Nano 5,3 W during wakefulness, and a low battery or artificial light 10 hours-a-half hours of sunlight. Using a pressure sensor and radio for communication with the outside reader measure, the system will constantly monitor the implementation of glaucoma, without those annoying contacts. Of course, the mad scientists behind look forward to the day when a small unit will do much more with each of us hundreds of computer dental implants in our whole body – looks like a bright future for cyborgdom.
