About a year ago, all waited with baited breath for the Next Big Thing to debut from Apple when it came time to reveal their new iteration of the iPhone franchise. The anticipation became greater and the tension grew  until the big day when Apple finally revealed the iPhone4S to a fan base drooling at the idea of a new product from the folks in Cupertino.

A few weeks after the phone came out, the loyal Apple users were fairly unanimous in their lukewarm reaction to the new offering.

Lukewarm? Yep- it seems besides the addition of Siri, the iPhone4S was simply a refreshed version of the iPhone4 with a little bit faster processor and a tweak of the software. Fanboys would have to wait until 2012 for the next Next Big Thing. Surely this time the new phone will be equipped with way-out-there tech and stuffed with unbelievable surprises for the fan base. Excitement over the debut of the iPhone5 has already begun.

Maybe the new iPhone5 will be an enormous leap of technology and imagination. But, how should I know? I'm just a humble blogger from the heartland of America.

This is one idea for the iPhone5. There are thousands of others out there.

Nissan and Infiniti luxury division is expected to equip a range of new technologies to reduce mortality and injury-related traffic crashes.

The safety of this technology is packed into a system Nissan "Safety Shield" - the safety shield.

The first is the vehicle compartment systems by jamming the accelerator (for Pedal Misapplication Acceleration Suppression). The name is so, but no "magic" to stop the vehicle continues to accelerate even though the brake is pressed. Instead, the system helps prevent accidents in case the wrong foot brake.

Operating system like? Vehicles equipped with four cameras from observing systems to support the car around (Around View Monitor) to determine the existence of objects and other vehicles in the near distance, which can identify the driver is meant the brakes, or the car is accelerating. If you note the accelerator is pressed too hard in situations of risk of collision, the system will automatically shut off the accelerator.

Of course, if the optical path - the system does not detect nearby obstacles, the vehicle will accelerate to normal.

More characteristic of the system is to use navigation system using ultrasound, automatic braking to avoid collisions review if it detects the driver does not control the situation.

The camera was mounted around the vehicle with a sensor system to detect people, objects or other vehicles may be on the side or rear, but the view of an outside rearview mirror, also called the point blind.

This system has three functions, including:

- Blind Spot Warning: signals warn the driver if xi-labels are turned on and have people, objects or other vehicles in blind spots.

- Warning deviate vehicle lanes: used camera supports the following observations to "monitor" white lines on the road and signal a warning if the car is changing lanes without turn-label xi.

- Detection of cellular material: when the car back, the system is responsible for detecting moving objects behind the vehicle and warning signals to the driver handled.

The technology will be fitted on new vehicles from Nissan and Infiniti year 2012.

New technology in the end, baptism early warning system before the collision, which acts to prevent accidents by using the sensor system to analyze the relevant speed, distance to vehicles ahead. In other words, if after processing information, the system determines that the vehicle is in danger of cardboard in front of the car will alarm signal and automatically tightening the safety belt.
