The IT industry has given birth to 3 kings. They are Virtualization, Cloud Computing, and iPad Tablets. They have sown the seeds to reshape the digital landscape and will definitely be reigning for the next few years. Are there territories they do not cover and are there alternatives?
This session will examine the power of the 3 kings and other emerging technologies such as stereoscopic 3D and data lifecycle management. We will examine the future of PC and the option of local clouds. We will talk in a plain language (without getting into deep technical detail) and relate to how we learn, teach, work, produce, manage, compute and commute digitally. We will provide a big picture on how we should be prepared for the next 5 years.

Question
How do I configure Windows to shutdown automatically during a power cut / blackout and restart once power is returned?
Answer
UPS units should be connected directly to your server via a USB or Serial connection. It would also come with UPS management software for you to configure its operation. Please read the user manual if in doubt - the example provided here applies to Powercom branded UPS units.
- Connect the UPS to the PC/server via Serial cable
- Install UPSMON Plus for Windows - it should automatically start up a tray icon in your system tray. You can also check Windows Services (Services under Computer Management) to ensure the 'UPSMONService' is listed and its Startup Type is set to 'Automatic'.
- Double click the UPSMON system tray icon to open the program interface
- Click on Setup -> COM Port in the top menu to setup the Serial cable connection. In most cases you can use Auto Search; if not you can also manually assign the correct COM Port depending on where it is connect to at the back of your PC
- Once set up you should see the status of your UPS on the main interface. Now click on System -> System Configuration to get the following interface:
'Power Failure Windows Shutdown Delay (sec)' dictates how many seconds to wait before the PC should be shutdown (via software) safely. The default 300 seconds is equivalent to 5 minutes.
'UPS Shutdown Delay (min)' dictates how many minutes to wait before the UPS itself shuts down after the PC is instructed to shutdown. You MUST allow enough time for the OS to complete its shutdown procedure correctly (please test as it can be anything between 10 seconds to 10 minutes depending on the configuration of the OS and its functions). You also MUST NOT set this value to anything unnecessarily high, because the if the AC power returns to normal during this UPS Shutdown Delay period, the UPS will not shut down and your PC will not know to wake up again.
Lastly, please make sure the 'Restore on AC Power Loss' in the system / motherboard BIOS is set to 'Power ON'. This will insure that the PC will turn itself back on when AC power is restored at the UPS.

WDR is an image processing technique. It enables image details to be displayed at all light levels. In a typical 24 hour day, various conditions exist such as reflections, glare, car headlights, and direct sunlight etc and they will make image display difficult. WDR addresses this issue.
Not all cameras have WDR capability. Assume a camera does not have WDR unless its spec states so.
The next 2 paragraphs briefly explained the issue and indicate the resolution approach. The information came from IE Times.
(1) Dynamic range is the ratio of the brightest image that can be captured by the imaging system to the darkest image that can be captured. Light intensity greater than the brightest possible image will cause the sensor to saturate, while light intensity less than the darkest possible image will not register on the sensor. Both of these conditions distort the image, hiding potentially vital information that lies outside the dynamic range of the sensor.
(2) When an exposure begins, each pixel is charged at a rate that is proportional to the intensity of the light that strikes it. A stronger light source will charge a pixel more quickly than a weaker light source. Existing analog technology typically uses a single exposure time for all pixels. At the end of the exposure, the camera will sense the total charge accumulated in each pixel. But that means some pixels (the brighter ones) may be overexposed while others (the darker ones) may be underexposed.
