Better image capture

Light sensor breakthrough could enhance solar cells and digital cameras
“Digital cameras are now universal, but they suffer from a major limitation: they take poor pictures under dim light. One reason for this is that the image sensor chips inside cameras collect, at most, one electron’s worth of current for every photon (particle of light) that strikes the pixel,” says Ted Sargent, professor in University of Toronto’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “Generating multiple excitons per photon could ultimately lead to better low-light pictures.”"

    It seems that someone is at last listening to what I been advocating for a long time. Generally when I ask question of your Berkshire Offices they seem to take it as a trudge or do not answer at all. I told them that there were problems with the Vista package, they did not accept that, yet every one who purchased this from my company requested that it be taken out and replaced with the earlier system of Xp. This cost me over four thousand dollars in hand outs, as well as sending my Engineers to their companies and getting every single thing that was in their machines that was from Vista. Now their setups and machines, my company has a turnover of over $50M this years so far we do not want to be put into that ball park again. Once over you had a very good setup in Berkshire, today we are on our own and I wont even bother talking to them, what is the use when they do not listen and think that they are right all the time, that is arrogance and that it seems is the way the company is going. We look forward to the next Operating System. We have Office 2007 that is giving no problems, and now we have Vista Operating out that has stopped my phones ringing as well. What you have here will assist in many ways, but what ever you do make sure it is fully tested unlike the Vista Operating System which seems to have been cut short and that I think has caused all the problems, NO good trying to give downloads to correct it, that have all been taken out of the machines. Please pass this on to Mr. W. Gates, we are the simple people we go into areas you would not send your worst enemy.
