Yamaha's new sound proyector

The YSP-4000 is Yamaha's new digital Sound Projector. It offers features such as, iPod and XM HD surround compatibility, 1080p-compatible HDMI, analog video to HDMI digital video up-conversion, and component / composite inputs. Other features include: built-in FM tuner, RS-232C for custom installation and a wide variety of beam settings, including My Surround Beam, for a true multi-channel surround sound experience from a single component.

Elegant, space-saving design that can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf or rack. There is no need for multiple speakers and cables, making installation trivial.

The YSP-4000 can deliver multi-channel sound that surrounds listeners the same way that sound from front, center and rear speakers does. DVD movies and other digital sources sound just the way they are supposed to. It includes Dolby Pro Logic II, so even 2-channel TV sound can be heard in true multi-channel surround.

Portable power from water

The HydroPak product combines Horizon's fuel cells with Millennium Cell's Hydrogen on Demand storage technology - a clean and quiet alternative to lead acid battery packs and portable generators.

The HydroPak is designed with a common AC outlet and two USB connectors to charge or operate low power devices such as portable lights, notebook computers, portable televisions and ad hoc communications networks for more than 14 continuous hours when needed.

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has completed pre-production of the HydroPak portable power generator. The first of the HydroPak line is in pre-production stage and has initiated UL and CE certification and first shipments are expected to start in late 2008.

The suggested retail price has been set at $400 and $20-30 for each 270Wh cartridge refill.
