SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula, Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company and developer of the ABAX family of 3D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLDs), is proud to announce it has won the Start-up category in the Institution of Engineering and Technology's (IET) prestigious 2010 Innovation in Engineering Awards. Winners of the 2010 Innovation Awards, chosen from nearly 400 entries, were announced at a ceremony held in London on Wednesday, November 24th....

Scientists said Friday they have found that climbing stairs or a mountain really can age you faster than going for a quick trip in your car. The study proves Einstein's theory of relativity -- which states that time flies at high altitude, but slows down when people speed up. Experiments in the past proved the basic premise of Albert Einstein's theory, sending an atomic clock into space on a rocket and comparing it to one kept behind on Earth, where gravity acts to slow the passage of time....

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula, Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company and developer of the ABAX family of 3-D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLDs), will be demonstrating its 40nm ABAX product family at the Design Automation Conference held June 13-18th in Anaheim, California at the TSMC Booth #294. Tabula will exhibit with its IP partner, Analog Bits, Inc., the global market leader in providing customized transistor level IP components for CMOS logic...

Space and time are intertwined in our thoughts, as they are in the physical world. For centuries, philosophers have debated exactly how these dimensions are related in the human mind. According to a paper to appear in the April, 2010 issue of Cognitive Science, children's ability to understand time is inseparable from their understanding of space. To probe the relationship between space and time in the developing mind, MPI researcher Daniel Casasanto and colleagues at the Aristotle University...

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Teens love to hang out. But where and when they hang out is often the subject of controversy. Watch This Space: Designing, Defending and Sharing Public Spaces (Kids Can Press) is a groundbreaking book that uses a fun, visually exciting approach to help kids ages 10-14 understand what public space is and why it's important in their lives. It explores questions that arise when people share public space -- such as how to balance privacy and security...

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula, Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company that has developed the Spacetime 3-D architecture, today launched the ABAX family of 3-D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLD). Based on the revolutionary Spacetime architecture that delivers the benefits of 3-D by using time as a third dimension, ABAX enables high-performance, compute-intensive applications on a programmable platform at volume price points. Providing programmability in...

Even Albert Einstein might have been impressed. His theory of general relativity, which describes how the gravity of a massive object, such as a star, can curve space and time, has been successfully used to predict such astronomical observations as the bending of starlight by the sun, small shifts in the orbit of the planet Mercury and the phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. Now, however, it may soon be possible to study the effects of general relativity in bench-top laboratory...

By Hisaki, Hashi (ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Nishida Kitaro (1870-1945), one of the most famous philosophers of the Kyoto School, has become well known in Europe through his works on religious philosophy and ethics.1 Yet the interdisciplinary aspect of his philosophy has received much less attention. Aiming at a comprehensive system of philosophy, Nishida strove toward a system of thinking in which thought and practice are united. In this context, the contents of volume...

MADISON - Peering backward in time to an instant after the big bang, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised an approach that may help unlock the hidden shapes of alternate dimensions of the universe. A new study demonstrates that the shapes of extra dimensions can be "seen" by deciphering their influence on cosmic energy released by the violent birth of the universe 13 billion years ago. The method, published today (Feb. 2) in Physical Review Letters,...
