Elon Musk, US Electric Vehicle Dafrior, announced that the company will open a patent in June 2014; many people think that Tesla bold move means that a new era started, and the open source public code. Musk said in a tribe article: "The leadership status of technology is not defined by patents, from historical authentication, which is just against a particular competitor's defense; a company can attract and motivate the world's best engineers Ability can determine its leadership. "
Perhaps Musk's move is not so shocking - industry has more and more people have interested in open source (Open Source), even actively involved, including dead-lifting hardware DIY community, and software masters. Although there is no much employer now seek top talents from "Hackathon" in the world of open source design, there are some well-known industry people such as Adafruit Industries. Design Tools Suppliers) The founder Limor Fried is the enthusiasm for open source to successfully transform into a revenue million US dollars.
The development case in the open source area is not just because of its feasibility, salesability, and they are truly helpful for innovation; for promoting science and technology, it is increasingly interesting and common goals. European Nuclear Research Institutions CERN established an open hard body storage library (Open Hardware ($ 1.4420) license (Open Hardware). In addition, other open hard body organizations also hope to encourage people with more different backgrounds to participate in innovation.
CERN's open hard body authorization clause (referred to as OHL or Cern OHL) is specially applied in an open hardware development. Cern's Javier Serrano said that open software and hardware development results are usually from DIY enthusiasts and community cooperation, often limited scale; while large-scale complex developments, supporters behind are companies or institutions like CERN It will require an open hardware authorization terms for specific application purposes.
The following introduces several world-renowned creative open source hardware development projects:
The Papilio One Development Platform is based on Spartan 3e FPGA in Xilinx ($ 233.7100), and is used in Laser-Cooled Trapped Ion Experiments.

Axion's open hard body with free software digital movie cameras (Digital ($ 132.9200) Cinema Camera) is a special celn ohl. In the homemade movie community, the application of the device is, in addition to parity, it is actually more
Axiom open hardware, free digital movie camera
Another large open hardware project is an open brain-Computer Interface (BCI). BCI is not a new concept, covering a variety of technologies including functional nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), artificial cochlear implant, EEG, etc., innovators are improved in existing design. Although this type of application technology is still very expensive, there will be an opportunity to become more popular through open hardware in the future.
