Chapter 138： digital camera

Bao Zixuan came to the school the next day, he was going to develop a digital camera. When I was writing a plan in the office yesterday, I found myself thinking about digital cameras too simply. The structure of the body is really complicated. I want to come to the school today to see what resources can be used.

Digital camera, also known as: digital camera. A digital camera is a camera that uses electronic sensors to convert optical images into electronic data.

According to the use, it is divided into: SLR camera, mirrorless camera, card camera, telephoto camera and home camera, etc. Digital cameras are different from ordinary cameras in that they rely on the chemical change of silver bromide on film to record images. The sensor of digital cameras is a light-sensing charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). Images are usually stored on a digital storage device (usually using flash memory; floppy disks and compact disc-rewritable (CD-RW) are rarely used in digital camera devices) before being transferred to a computer.

Now the optical lens of the digital camera developed by the Black Cloud Group can be handed over to the engineer team of Carl Zeiss working in Hong Kong. As for other parts, you need to find Kodak to buy patents, and then upgrade and transform. As for the battery, it still needs the cooperation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the lithium battery should also follow up. Historically, Sony was able to launch the first digital camera for commercial use in 1981. Black Cloud Group has so many leading advantages that it makes no sense to be behind Sony.

With the strength of the Black Cloud Group, the US branch can design flash memory data storage. As for cmos, it needs the cooperation of the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Electronics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The ccd patents are now in Bell Labs, but many patents for digital cameras are in the hands of Kodak, so if you think you can't do it, go to Kodak.

Bao Zixuan came to the MIT Computer Science Laboratory, and he had made an appointment with Professor Harry Rowland in advance. Now he is a guest of honor in the major laboratories of the school. The Black Cloud Group has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the major laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They allocate funds to the cooperative laboratories every month, and it is never too late.

Harry-Roland said with a smile: "This time in Germany, you have been in the limelight. Why do you have time to come to me now?"

Bao Zixuan: "Didn't I think I haven't seen your old man for a long time to come and have a look!"

Only Bao Zixuan dared to talk to this hot-tempered professor like this, everyone is too familiar with it.

Harry-Roland: "Don't come here, I still don't know you! Tell me! What are you looking for?"

Bao Zixuan told Professor Harry Roland about the flash memory card's feelings, and said the performance he hoped to achieve.

Harry-Roland: "Bao, what you said can be achieved in theory, but it is difficult for the computer department to succeed in research and development. We need the cooperation of electronic science majors. In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Bao Zixuan: "Okay, I'll go find Professor Clay Freeman."

Harry Rowland: "Wait a minute, I shouldn't have told you something, it's your personal business after all. But as an entrepreneur and an engineer, you should also pay attention to your personal image. Hollywood is never suitable for MIT, you control it yourself Bar!"

"By the way, do you still have the Huaxia wine you gave to Professor Bowman last time? Bring me some next time."

Bao Zixuan did not expect that a small scandal had already affected the circle of MIT professors. It seems that Harry-Roland really regards himself as a junior, otherwise he wouldn't tell you this because of his American character!

Bao Zixuan bowed to Professor Harry Roland and said, "Thank you, teacher, don't worry, I will send someone to deliver the wine to your house."

After I came to the Electronic Science Laboratory, I saw Professor Clay-Freeman doing an experiment. After watching it for about half an hour, the experiment was finally completed. Professor Freeman, who took off his work clothes, came to Bao Zixuan and said, "Why did you come to me today! Did you check my work? Just now, the Heiyun research group proposed to me an experiment on improving the sound effect of TV sets. Didn't you come up with a surround sound! Now we're ramping up our experiments to try and make it happen in the lab this year."

Regarding the TV, Bao Zixuan also wants to go the high-quality route. He plans to build a surround sound home theater. After all, if the Heiyun Group does not innovate in the home appliance industry, it will be difficult to seize the market.

Bao Zixuan: "Professor has worked hard! This time there is another thing to trouble you. I want to create a carrier for fast information storage. The weight is about 14g, only the size of a cardboard match (43mmx36mmxm3.3mm), it is a solid state product, that is, there are no moving parts when working. The flash memory card uses flash memory () technology, which is a stable storage solution that does not require batteries to maintain the data stored in it. For the data stored, flash memory cards are more efficient than traditional Disk drives are more secure and protected; 5 to 10 times more reliable than traditional disk drives and Type III PC Cards."

Hearing Bao Zixuan talking about the concept of flash memory cards, Clay Freeman said, "It's technically feasible, but Professor Roland should have asked you to come to me! Don't look at how small this thing is, but it really requires the two of us. Laboratory cooperation."

In fact, many electronic products can be developed at MIT. After all, this is a school that has studied the black technology b2 stealth bomber. The product established in the 1970s is still the most powerful bomber in the world 50 years later. powerful.

In this way, the Black Cloud Group once again joined the electronic science and computer science majors of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to start tackling key problems in flash memory cards.

On the Heiyun side, Hashimoto Hiroshi is still in charge of the overall coordination, and four scientific researchers from each major of computer science and electronic science will cooperate. Bao Zixuan plans to develop the product within half a year. Moreover, the Black Cloud Vision 1100 laptop will also have an upgraded version to increase the interface to read the flash memory card After dealing with the problem of the flash memory card, Bao Zixuan returned to the dormitory and saw that the other members of the dormitory were all there, so he Not even Thomas Marr was out on a date.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Everyone is here! How about if we have time for a drink in the evening."

Thomas Marr: "Bao, how do you feel about being a Hollywood star. You're such a sweetheart!"

Bao Zixuan really didn't want to answer this guy's question. What he was interested in now in Tomar-Marr was the remaining 10% of Marr's shares. But seeing that everyone is looking at him, let's talk about it at this time!

Bao Zixuan said, "It's really a misunderstanding. The bodyguards misunderstood. At that time, many reporters chased after me and got into my car. Believe it or not, it's just like that."

"And whether you go to drink or not, if you don't, I can go back to the company."

Romansky: "Bang, it's not that we don't want to go, it's that we have an appointment tonight. There is a party at Harvard tonight, and we have already got the tickets. I thought you didn't get your share if you didn't come back. I'm really sorry. !"

Bao Zixuan: "Since you guys have arranged, I'll go back to the company first, and call me next time for a drink!"

After speaking, he left the dormitory. Bao Zixuan knew that his presence in the dormitory was getting lower and lower, and that he had been away for longer and longer and could no longer integrate into the dormitory life. It seems that it is still necessary to develop the required technology as soon as possible. With the current absenteeism rate, I am really embarrassed to mix education here.

After returning to the company, I started the research and development of digital cameras, but now I have to solve two problems, patent licensing and camera design. Both problems can only be solved in New York State, it seems that I still have to go to New York!
