It has an error rate of plus or minus 3.5 percentage class of computer chips unveiled in . New York apr Intel corp. On monday unveiled computer chips it says will make it much cheaper for video technology to be built into personal computers allowing the desktop machines to edit and store moving images much like text. While similar technology already exists it is expensive a a video system offered by ism and Intel costs about $2,000 above the Price of a Standard personal computer. Intel says its new chips should allow computer companies to add video capability to personal computers for half that amount. Among computer makers exploring Intel a technology Are ism american Telephone and Telegraph co., Olivetti of Italy and Toshiba Aida and Matsushita of Japan Intel said. The computer Chip maker says its technology should Spur the Young Market for so called multimedia or the marriage of television and computing. Multimedia allows the text and interactive capabilities of computers to be mixed with video stereo sound still photographs and animation. Intel says its new chips should vastly expand the multimedia Market by making it More affordable. That in turn should prompt software developers to create new programs to take advantage of video in computing said Tom Trainor general manager of the Intel division that developed the chips. Larry Ryan inspects one of the new class of computer chips he helped develop. Ira suspect denied bail in . New York apr a judge refused on monday to set bail for Joseph Doherty who for seven years has fought deportation for the 1980 slaying of a British army officer in Northern Ireland. . District judge Miriam g. Cedar Baum said Doherty was Likely to flee if 35, was arrested in new York in 1983. He faces a life sentence in Britain for the 1980 slaying of a British officer killed m a gunfight Between British troops and Dohertym a four Man Irish Republican army unit. Doherty escaped from prison in Northern Ireland in 1981 and fled to the United states in 1982 with help from americans sympathetic to his cause. He has never been charged with a crime in the United states and has been held without bail since his arrest. He has said he quit the Ira before coming to the United states. While conceding that the length of de Tention was a extremely troubling ice Sarbaum rejected Dohertym a Contention that his lengthy imprisonment violated his constitutional rights. She said Many constitutional protections did not apply to aliens in deportation proceedings. Dohertym a lawyer maty Pike said she would Appeal the ruling. A there is something very ominous in the notion that an individual who is a convicted of any crime can be imprisoned for in excess of seven years a Pike said. Aggressive Dolphin won t be sent to Navy Boston apr yielding to pressure from animal rights activists the new England aquarium on monday dropped plans to Trade an aggressive Dolphin to a secret Navy program in California. The move settled a Federal lawsuit filed last month by citizens to end animal suffering and exploitation the group which sought to Block the Trade claims the Navy trains dolphins for hazardous duty. A earlier this year the aquarium arranged to Trade Rainbow an 11-year-old, 450-Pound male to the naval oceans systems research Center in san Diego for a partly deaf female Dolphin. The Navy Center said it trains and studies Marine mammals in underwater surveillance and other activities. The aquarium decided to resolve the dispute by agreeing with the Navy to end the Deal aquarium director John Prescott said. A we agreed publicly to take a second look at alternative facilities and we be done so in Good Faith a Prescott said. The aquarium wanted to find a new Home for Rainbow because he had become incompatible with its other show dolphins. As part of the settlement the aquarium also asked the department of Commerce to Speed up the process regulating Transfer of Marine mammals Between licensed facilities. A1 Lill an analyst with the High tech research firm Gartner group inc., said he was impressed with the Price and performance of Intel a chips. But he said other companies including Intel Sarch rival Motorola inc., Are working on similar technology. A everybody sees this As the next big one. Its going to be a big horse race a he said. A major competitor for Intel in multimedia chips is Psi logic corp. Of Milpitas calif., Lill said. Both Psi logic and Intel Are developing a family of multimedia chips but Psi is expected to have its line ready by the Middle of next year. Intel a Complete line wont be available until a year later he said. One problem with incorporating video into computers is the vast amount of computer memory it consumes. Just one Frame of a video image almost fills an entire floppy disk. At 30 frames a minute for full motion video the storage needs Are enormous. To skirt that Roadblock scientists have developed compression technologies that squeeze the video images into less space after first converting them into digital form or the ones and zeros of computer language. Intel a chips for example compress video data by a Factor of at least 100 to 1. The images then can be stored on a computers internal hard disk or for greater capacity on a compact disk similar to those used in Home audio of time in the stars and stripes 40 years ago today.
