In October last year, Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship to a humanoid robot. Sophia is the only robot citizen to date. Saudi Arabia is also the first country in the world to give a robot citizenship.
Hong Kong-based company, Hanson Robotics, built this humanoid Robot – Sophia in 2015. According to the creator, David Hanson, the robot is instilled with artificial intelligence and can recognize faces. “Sophia’s silicon face can mimic 62 human facial expressions”, stated David Hanson.
A robot’s citizenship renders the latest move in the wake of impersonating and anthropomorphizing humans’ robotic counterparts. However, some critics say that this growing trend can have serious outcomes for the rest of humanity.


BIM 360 Field 2006 !!TOP!! Crack File Only 64 Bit
Hot-spot based examination of immunohistochemically stained histological specimens is one of the most important procedures in pathomorphological practice. The development of image acquisition equipment and computational units allows for the automation of this process. Moreover, a lot of possible technical problems occur in everyday histological material, which increases the complexity of the problem. Thus, a full context-based analysis of histological specimens is also needed in the quantification of immunohistochemically stained specimens. One of the most important reactions is the Ki-67 proliferation marker in meningiomas, the most frequent intracranial tumour. The aim of our study is to propose a context-based analysis of Ki-67 stained specimens of meningiomas for automatic selection of hot-spots. The proposed solution is based on textural analysis, mathematical morphology, feature ranking and classification, as well as on the proposed hot-spot gradual extinction algorithm to allow for the proper detection of a set of hot-spot fields. The designed whole slide image processing scheme eliminates such artifacts as hemorrhages, folds or stained vessels from the region of interest. To validate automatic results, a set of 104 meningioma specimens were selected and twenty hot-spots inside them were identified independently by two experts. The Spearman rho correlation coefficient was used to compare the results which were also analyzed with the help of a Bland-Altman plot. The results show that most of the cases (84) were automatically examined properly with two fields of view with a technical problem at the very most. Next, 13 had three such fields, and only seven specimens did not meet the requirement for the automatic examination. Generally, the Automatic System identifies hot-spot areas, especially their maximum points, better. Analysis of the results confirms the very high concordance between an automatic Ki-67 examination and the expert's results, with a Spearman

Fourteen field campaigns were conducted in five inland lakes during different seasons between 2006 and 2013, and a total of 398 water samples with varying optical characteristics were collected. The characteristics were analyzed based on remote sensing reflectance, and an automatic cluster two-step method was applied for water classification. The inland waters could be clustered into three types, which we labeled water types I, II and III. From water types I to III, the effect of the phytoplankton on the optical characteristics gradually decreased. Four chlorophyll-a retrieval algorithms for Case II water, a two-band, three-band, four-band and SCI (Synthetic Chlorophyll Index) algorithm were evaluated for three water types based on the MERIS bands. Different MERIS bands were used for the three water types in each of the four algorithms. The four algorithms had different levels of retrieval accuracy for each water type, and no single algorithm could be successfully applied to all water types. For water types I and III, the three-band algorithm performed the best, while the four-band algorithm had the highest retrieval accuracy for water type II. However, the three-band algorithm is preferable to the two-band algorithm for turbid eutrophic inland waters. The SCI algorithm is recommended for highly turbid water with a higher concentration of total suspended solids. Our research indicates that the chlorophyll-a concentration retrieval by remote sensing for optically contrasted inland water requires a specific algorithm that is based on the optical characteristics of inland water bodies to obtain higher estimation accuracy.

Objective. Artifact reduction in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is usually necessary to carry out data analysis appropriately. Despite the large amount of denoising techniques available with a multichannel setup, there is a lack of efficient algorithms that remove (not only detect) blink-artifacts from a single channel EEG, which is of interest in many clinical and research applications. This paper describes and evaluates the iterative template matching and suppression (ITMS), a new method proposed for detecting and suppressing the artifact associated with the blink activity from a single channel EEG. Approach. The approach of ITMS consists of (a) an iterative process in which blink-events are detected and the blink-artifact waveform of the analyzed subject is estimated, (b) generation of a signal modeling the blink-artifact, and (c) suppression of this signal from the raw EEG. The performance of ITMS is compared with the multi-window summation of derivatives within a window (MSDW) technique using both synthesized and real EEG data. Main results. Results suggest that ITMS presents an adequate performance in detecting and suppressing blink-artifacts from a single channel EEG. When applied to the analysis of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs), ITMS provides a significant quality improvement in the resulting responses, i.e. in a cohort of 30 adults, the mean correlation coefficient improved from 0.37 to 0.65 when the blink-artifacts were detected and suppressed by ITMS. Significance. ITMS is an efficient solution to the problem of denoising blink-artifacts in single-channel EEG applications, both in clinical and research fields. The proposed ITMS algorithm is stable; automatic, since it does not require human intervention; low-invasive, because the EEG segments not contaminated by blink-artifacts remain unaltered; and easy to implement, as can be observed in the Matlab script implemeting the algorithm provided as supporting material.
"Objective" methods to monitor physical activity and sedentary patterns in free-living conditions are necessary to further our understanding of their impacts on health. In recent years, many software solutions capable of automatically identifying activity types from portable accelerometry data have been developed, with promising results in controlled conditions, but virtually no reports on field tests. An automatic classification algorithm initially developed using laboratory-acquired data (59 subjects engaging in a set of 24 standardized activities) to discriminate between 8 activity classes (lying, slouching, sitting, standing, walking, running, and cycling) was applied to data collected in the field. Twenty volunteers equipped with a hip-worn triaxial accelerometer performed at their own pace an activity set that included, among others, activities such as walking the streets, running, cycling, and taking the bus. Performances of the laboratory-calibrated classification algorithm were compared with those of an alternative version of the same model including field-collected data in the learning set. Despite good results in laboratory conditions, the performances of the laboratory-calibrated algorithm (assessed by confusion matrices) decreased for several activities when applied to free-living data. Recalibrating the algorithm with data closer to real-life conditions and from an independent group of subjects proved useful, especially for the detection of sedentary behaviors while in transports, thereby improving the detection of overall sitting (sensitivity: laboratory model = 24.9%; recalibrated model = 95.7%). Automatic identification methods should be developed using data acquired in free-living conditions rather than data from standardized laboratory activity sets only, and their limits carefully tested before they are used in field studies.

Computer-aided drug design has become an important component of the drug discovery process. Despite the advances in this field, there is not a unique modeling approach that can be successfully applied to solve the whole range of problems faced during QSAR modeling. Feature selection and ensemble modeling are active areas of research in ligand-based drug design. Here we introduce the GA(M)E-QSAR algorithm that combines the search and optimization capabilities of Genetic Algorithms with the simplicity of the Adaboost ensemble-based classification algorithm to solve binary classification problems. We also explore the usefulness of Meta-Ensembles trained with Adaboost and Voting schemes to further improve the accuracy, generalization, and robustness of the optimal Adaboost Single Ensemble derived from the Genetic Algorithm optimization. We evaluated the performance of our algorithm using five data sets from the literature and found that it is capable of yielding similar or better classification results to what has been reported for these data sets with a higher enrichment of active compounds relative to the whole actives subset when only the most active chemicals are considered. More important, we compared our methodology with state of the art feature selection and classification approaches and found that it can provide highly accurate, robust, and generalizable models. In the case of the Adaboost Ensembles derived from the Genetic Algorithm search, the final models are quite simple since they consist of a weighted sum of the output of single feature classifiers. Furthermore, the Adaboost scores can be used as ranking criterion to prioritize chemicals for synthesis and biological evaluation after virtual screening experiments.

What Marketers Need to Know about Artificial Intelligence and Big Data: Introduction to AI MarketingKiril KirilovPublished in 2017
Artificial intelligence will reshape entire industries and our world, as we know it. Digital marketing will be one of the industries where AI, machine learning, and Big Data will have the greatest impact.

Advancements in the field of narrow AI give birth to algorithms that can perform specific content creation and content marketing tasks. Narrow AI is not a threat to marketing experts who fear they can lose their jobs due to automation but it drastically reshapes the entire framework within which content is being created and then delivered to consumers.
Chatbots, AI-enabled marketing platforms, and automated ad placement is only the start of the widespread implementation of machine learning and Big Data concepts across the digital marketing industry. The emergence of increasingly sophisticated algorithms will result in personalized branding messages delivered to every consumer, on every channel, and on any device.
As the Internet of Things matures, we will witness branding and marketing messages delivered through devices such as home appliances and connected vehicles. Mobile devices will take advantage of technologies like augmented reality and natural language processing to make it possible to customize marketing messages based on location, mood, and very specific actions taken by the consumer.
No one knows what the general purpose AI, the ultimate machine intelligence, will introduce. Nonetheless, marketing experts should be aware that we enter an era where algorithms will manage most of the processes and procedures involved in the creation of successful marketing campaigns. Machines will not replace human marketers anytime soon. However, it is best to be prepared for a world where marketing decisions are driven by AI and Big Data.


I joined the Linux Foundation's LF Edge project called Fledge in 2021 as a voting member of the Technical Steering Committee. Last month, I became a co-chair of this committee. While the Linux Foundation, Open Source, and Industrial IoT are new to me, I bring my 25+ years of experience with IT/OT integration to the table.
Wintel platforms dominate the computer systems in industrial environments. Linux is prominent in many embedded devices but has made much less progress in the higher-level systems. Over the years, I have implemented hundreds of interfaces to industrial control systems to pipe the data out of the protected OT network to outside IT systems to allow corporate access to the data where it could be processed into visualizations, alerts, and reports. These simple data pipes produced immense value to the companies I have served.
Today these simple data pipes are not enough. Newer Edge computing platforms enable intelligent data pipes. We add the capability to filter, process, and augment the data streams as they go through the pipe. Machine learning models and AI deployed to the edge enable advanced capabilities. These edge nodes also help collect data from sources such as cameras to train the AI models. Our new pipelines are also capable of delivering data to multiple sources.
While there are hundreds of proprietary offerings from the traditional OT vendors, I believe that it is vital that there be an open source offering. We in the OT world have lived for too long in the balkanized land of proprietary standards and closed source. The IT world exploded with innovation in the nineties as open source entered the stage. The LAMP stack was probably the first example of open source overtaking proprietary systems. Development and innovation exploded as websites built on the stack became common. Think of Fledge as the LAMP stack for Edge Computing.
I'll share my experiences as I work on the project and try to help build a community of support for the Linux Foundation's effort to drive innovation in the IIoT world. As I share information, I hope you will follow me on LinkedIn and Twitter so that you can offer feedback and add your experiences to mine. Together we can help to influence the community and change our industry.

Contactless Credit Cards Are Interesting
5 Things You Must Learn About Contactless RFID Credit History Cards
What is a contactless credit card and exactly how does it work?
For years, credit cards have relied on magnetic red stripes located on the reverse side of the card to keep data. To transmit this information, the card must be swiped via a magnetic visitor, making physical contact with the red stripe. A contactless bank card, on the other hand, stores its data on a chip installed in the card’s plastic. This data is sent not magnetically, however rather via a tiny radio signal when the card can be found in close distance of a special viewers at the check out stand. This resolves radio frequency identification technology, likewise referred to as RFID. When the chip comes close enough to the viewers, an antenna on the chip is jolted to life by the electromagnetic field developed by the viewers, as well as purchase data is sent to right into the system.
What are the benefits of contactless charge card?
For beginners, these RFID charge card are much quicker and easier than typical magnetic stripe cards. A cardholder merely waves the card over the viewers, waits a minute for the acceptence signal from the maker, and that’s it. There’s no have to mess up for cash money, and with deals under $25, there is no should key in a PIN code or authorize an invoice. Simply wave as well as go. Likewise, since the card never ever leaves the customer’s hand, it is thought about by some to be a lot more protected.
What are the drawbacks of contactless charge card?
Some opponents to contactless bank card have actually contended that there are safety and security dangers with making use of these RFID credit cards, as the radio transmission can potentially obtain obstructed by a criminal with malicious purposes. The good news, nonetheless, is that the actual credit card number is not transferred via radio wave. Rather, it is an unique encrypted code only good for RFID transactions. Additionally, similar to common cards, cardholders are not liable for any kind of deceptive costs.
Where can contactless bank card be used?
Presently, Visa Contactless, American ExpressPay, and MasterCard PayPass are offered at pick retailers in particular areas in the United States, consisting of 7-Eleven, McDonald’s, KFC, Arby’s, Walgreens, Sony Style, Wawa, Sheetz, CVS Pharmacy, as well as a range of cinema. Sellers with the ability of handing contactless bank card deals will have a special icon on their charge card reader located at the check out stand. RFID charge card can additionally be utilized at any location that approves regular charge card, given that the new contactless cards will still have a normal magnetic red stripe on the back.
That offers contactless credit cards?
All new American Express Blue and also Blue Cash money cards currently come furnished with the contactless attribute. Also readily available from American Express is an RFID crucial fob that can be linked to many existing bank card accounts. Chase has actually teamed with MasterCard and also Visa to provide Chase blink cards in a selection of designs.


With the introduction of wallet companies like PayPal in the late 1990s, the wal-let revolution had already begun, but it was intensified with the advancement in mobile technology and the availability of client-side scripting technology. With the launch of the first generation iPhone the smartphone industry and later other mobile devices transformed the way business was being done. Mobile devices slowly started becoming the preferred channel for e-commerce transactions. A large num-ber of apps were launched that were facilitating shopping using the mobile device directly. At the end of the purchase process, the customer would make the pay-ments. After the purchase was done, the customer would initiate a payment using his/her card information. At this point the mobile application enabling shopping would make a request to the payment gateway to execute the transaction. In this process, a customer has to remember his/her credit card information and there could be multiple cards he/she would wish to use. Additionally, every time, the user would have to specify his/her shipping and invoicing details. In some cases, the user would have to provide the loyalty information as well to accumulate miles from the purchase made. All of this together made the payment interface quite complex for a customer.
A more simplified version of the same could be wherein a
consumer stores all his/her credit card/debit card/banking information in a
single application and all his/her purchases can then be routed through this
application. Such an applica-tion that could enable payments using a single
interface for purchases made using
online or mobile channels is called a digital wallet. The digital wallet in turn could potentially store the credit card details, identity details, shipping and invoicing information and even could store loyalty-related information.
Mobile devices are personal devices and are secured with features like a one-time password, biometrics authentication and sandboxing of the application. The digital wallet applications can leverage these features to provide a secure interface to conduct payment transactions for a customer. Soon multiple start-ups began pro-viding digital wallet solutions including established telecom providers and phone manufacturers. Apple Pay and Google Wallets are some of the popular wallets from the phone manufacturers Apple and Google respectively. The digital wallet reached a new level of popularity and adoption with the embedding of a near-field communication (NFC) chip in mobile devices and POS systems. Consequently, NFC- enabled devices in close proximity could transfer information with each other, including payment information, through a simple tap. This transformed the payment experience as the customer was now able to carry out payments by just tapping the device or bringing it near to POS. The customer experience was far better than handing over his/her card/cash at cash counters followed by entering the pin and authorization numbers and ending with a paper confirmation of the payment. Additionally, with tokenization solutions and security solutions being standardized, the frauds in digital wallets are going down, driving their adoption and popularity further.
The introduction of multiple different currencies other than government-issued denominations like mobile money and cryptocurrencies drove the success and pop-ularity of digital wallets to a new high. Some of the wallets are also enabling pay-ments using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. One of the reasons for the popularity of wallets have been the offers and coupons issued by different wallet companies for using their wallets.
The adoption of digital wallets and people moving to online shopping and digital payments has prompted a lot of telecom providers and retail stores like Walmart (Walmart pay) and Reliance in India (Jio Wallet) to enable their own wallet solutions. The digital wallet industry can be further categorized into:

The TLP engine starts with one of several cutting-edge natural language models. TLP then uses proprietary technologies such as semantic densification, adaptive masking and supervised fine-tuning to optimize for technical jargons.
By focusing on semantic representation, TLP engine is able to achieve world-record performance on several benchmarks (CoLA, QQP, MLNI). A key differentiator for the TLP engine is the model size (Less than 1% in size compared to other models such as GPT-3). Another differentiator is the TLP speed – a critical requirement for processing large technical repositories responsively. TLP semantic engine was initially developed under USAF, DARPA and MDA innovation contracts.
TLP Automatic Technical Dictionary
Most technical organizations develop jargons and abbreviations to efficiently communicate technical information. These jargons are dynamic – changing over time. These jargons differ based on disciplines and locations.
TLP automatically scans document repositories to build and maintain the technical dictionary. TLP dictionary leverages a custom syntax structure to organize the dictionary. Manual supervision is integrated to ensure quality.
TLP dictionary is designed to support the most complex large organizations. The dictionary is able to different expansions for the same letter abbreviations and different meanings for the same term. By improving jargon understanding, TLP dictionary improve communication across engineering teams. TLP dictionary integrates with the semantic search engine to improve search results.
TLP Semantic Search Engine
Traditional keyword search is inadequate due to complex jargons and abbreviations. Traditional page ranking is ineffective because most documents are not accessed frequently enough for ranking engines to learn use patterns
TLP integrates the semantic engine and the technical dictionary to build a fast and accurate search engine. TLP automatically generates synonyms of user queries and prioritizes results based on technical context.
TLP search engine enables fast and accurate search of complex technical repositories. Integration with the AI document structure reconstruction model allows TLP search to navigate to the right paragraph within any document. Our regulation search products demonstrate some of the capabilities of TLP search.
TLP AI Document Structure Reconstruction
Document file formats such as PDF do not conserve document structure (such as paragraphs, heading, tables, etc.). Each line in the document is represented as a block of text. Lack of structure makes it difficult to accurately model the semantics of technical text.
TLP is developing highly accurate (>99%) AI models to automatically reconstruct document structure without human intervention.
TLP document structure reconstruction enables accurate semantic searching of PDF documents. The document structure further enables the search engine to navigate to the right paragraph in a large document, improve efficacy. Accurate document structure enables the AI dictionary tool to accurately build and maintain technical dictionaries.
TLP Technologies Under Development
We are developing many new AI technologies to help practical engineering and technology challenges. These include: Few-shot Classifiers, Summarizers, Recommenders, Authoritative Source Builders, etc. Along with our parent Inspird we have several contracts from DARPA, MDA and USAF. Please contact us to learn more.


STEM Day at Liverpool University
10 January 2020
Year 9 students Jaime D, Charlotte G, Oliver Mc, Ged F, Gabriel D, Rhys F, Mack A, Paige H, Will J, Frankie L, Alfie M and Ben R attend Liverpool University on Thursday to take part in a three practical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) focused sessions at the Central Teaching Laboratories.
The day included creating hydrogen sensors, electrical engineering and bionic engineering. It also gave the students a real feel for studying at university level and the courses and qualifications that are available at university level - creating those crucial aspirations for the future!
Mr Fletcher, who accompanied the students, stated that the Year 9's behaved extremely well and took on the sessions with energy and a real focus. Well done to all the students that were involved!
Some Images from the day:


Demonstration of Lotus Software
Welcome to my first post on the Lotus blog. To introduce my self; I am a computer science student working part time in IBM where I am assisting Tech Sales here at Lotus. I am also assigned to IBM Software Group Technical Exploration Centre (TEC) that provides Software Sales and Technical Specialists with the right tools, environment and processes to run cost effective, technical demonstrations, to provide customers with the insight about our products.
Just recently I have configured our new Lotus blade, enabling us to demonstrate our server software on a quad core Xeon processor and 32 GB of memory. It is running VMware ESXi and it will therefore be possible to run multiple images on the same system.
Together with this blade server, we recently got a bunch of ThinkPad W510 laptops, that we can book and use for demo purposes. These run a core i7 processor and 10 GB of memory. These can therefore also pull off most software thrown at them. So I am assisting in setting these systems up so that the team can utilise them for customer engagements and demos.
With this setup it will be possible for us to demonstrate all the Lotus software we desire for our customers.

Supercool, I wonder if we will have an entire game engine full made in C#.
It's really encouraging to see you guys so responsive. Looking forward to what you'll do next.
Thanks for all your ongoing support, its much appreciated.
Quantalea should be bought by Microsoft & made free for developers like Microsoft did with Xamarin.
This is really good stuff! I can see performance improvements in my tests as well. I'm really happy with this.
An amazing product, thank you. I tried using OpenCL once but it was quite a challenge for a .NET developer.
The new version 3 of Alea GPU looks very cool. I will try and put together some examples for the gallery as I learn it.
I wish developers would know more about these toolchains, instead of thinking C, C++ and Fortran are the only game in town.
GPU V3 makes developers more productive by radically simplifying GPU programming.Developers can now harness the power of GPUs without any GPU programming experience.
Offloading compute intensive calculations to a GPU can significantly speed up multi-threaded .NET C# applications. Impressive performance gains of a factor 50 to 100 or more have been observed in real production code.
Alea GPU comes with a large collection of fully documented and ready to use samples. They guide the programmer from simple yet powerful applications of parallel-for to advanced GPU programming. Alea GPU runs on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, is conveniently installed from NuGet packages and easily deployed without recompilation on the target platform.
Alea GPU provides highly efficient GPU parallel-for and parallel aggregate methods to map data parallel computations to the GPU.
Automatic Memory Management
Alea GPU automatically manages GPU memory and economically transfers data between the main memory and the GPU. The programmer can concentrate on the core logic and the algorithm.
Commonly used parallel performance primitives and NVIDIA libraries such cuRand, cuBlas or cuDNN are seamlessly integrated with Alea GPU.
Alea TK is an open source machine learning library based on Alea GPU. It uses tensors and automatic differentiation to build and train deep networks on GPUs efficiently. Join the community and help us to extend the library!

Yes we have.
By “we”, I mean technology vendors. And, analysts. It’s as if there’s an incentive for vendors to make vendors the authority in smart government.
Look at the notion of the smart city. Technology providers design info-graphics and architecture diagrams with overwhelming numbers of circles and arrows. Here’s a synopsis, or simplification, below. It’s difficult to read.
Most smart city diagrams include sensors for smart grids, smart transportation, pollution monitoring, etc. Many go so far as to indicate the type of sensor such as Internet of Things, RFID or other operational equipment.
Most smart city diagrams include supporting or enabling technologies.
SMACT (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud and the Internet of Things) technologies are fundamental to smart cities. So is cyber-security, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Government Resource Planning (GRP). The “sharing economy” of apartment, home, utilities and transportation are also fundamental to the smart city. The “uberization” of everything promises higher productivity at lower environmental costs.
Most observers agree governments can’t achieve “smart” without open government, citizen participation and open data.
This all looks complicated. The integration of technology bits and pieces is complicated, but not complex. In other words, the implementation of smart city technology requires technology and engineering expertise.
The process of determining relevant smart government technologies to address national development objectives, finding funding, monitoring outcomes, PFM reform and convincing stakeholders – of course, politics and organizational change management – that’s complex.
So, the next time you see a busy smart government or smart city diagram with images, arrows, circles and boxes, remember that planning, funding and monitoring is much more complex. Particularly in government because of politics.

The magical day for the release of Iphone 3GS is Jun 19th . One major new highlight is that it will have a feature to track your missing phone (as long as you are in sync with Mobile Me and the phone is left on). The price point for the 16GB (which I am interested in) is $199 and $299 for the 32GB. The 3G 8GB will be bumped down to $99.
On the Apple Site is a comparision page between the 3G and 3GS (the “S” stands for speed) to help one to know the differences between the 2 phones.

This is a 60 minute talk in which I tried to cover 30 algorithms and data structures in a concise manner. It covers all sorts of areas: sorting, string searching and matching, backtracking, randomness, skip lists, hashing, bloom filters, graph algorithms, space partitioning, concurrent and immutable data structures, cache oblivious techniques, compression, boolean satisfiability, and control theory.Read more →
These slides are from a talk I gave on many aspects of computing, starting with classical computing (Hilbert’s 10th problem, Church and Turing, Godel, boolean functions, complexity theory, transistors, Moore’s law and demise), then going through physics (relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory), and finally into quantum computing basics (qubits, superposition, entanglement, no cloning, basic gates) and quantum algorithms (Deutsch, Simon, Shor, Grover).
Then I cover advanced quantum topics, such as quantum machines,quantum complexity theory, the Quantum-Church-Turing-Deutsch principle, graph isomorphism, quantum error correction, and quantum security. A final speculative section covers even weirder computation ideas (closed timelike curves, string computing) and how computing seems intertwined with the nature of reality (It from Bit, Simulation Hypthesis, Free Will Theorem).Read more →
This talk is an intro to wireless communications, starting with the basic physics of EM waves and how they interact with materials, then how antennas work, then on to antenna properties and design. Next modulation schemes are discussed, showing how data is encoded and transmitted over noisy channels via modulation, spread spectrum, time and frequency division, and other methods. Noise in the form of doppler, intermodulation, and other causes is covered. Information theory (channel capacity, Shannon entropy, error correction) is covered. Finally specific protocols are analyzed under this framework: FM, NTSC, remotes, WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, satellite radio, GPS, and cellular formats.Read more →

Japanese company Nissan has registered a trademark I-Power, which is likely to be used for the name of the power plants of premium brand Infiniti.
According to the publication CarBuzz, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has registered an application of the Japanese company Nissan for the trademark I-Power, which can be used for naming electric propulsion systems for passenger cars. Nissan has been using a system called E-Power for several years: it is a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain with a sequential scheme of operation in which the wheels rotate the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is used only for generating power.
E-Power is used in Note, Serena and Kicks models, also a new generation of Qashqai crossover will receive it. The new technology called I-Power will obviously represent electric power units for Infiniti brand. Last summer the premium division of the Japanese automaker presented a new development strategy, which stated that the brand intends to completely switch to the platforms of the brand Nissan, and use its hybrid powertrains, having finalized them to increase power and reduce noise.


The Southington High School FIRST robotics team 195 CyberKnights invite the community to a “STEM for All” event at the Southington Drive In on Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Several booths containing interactive STEM (science, technology, education and math) activities and robot demonstrations will be featured at the family-friendly, free educational event. Miss Connecticut, Bridget Oei, will be stopping by to speak about the importance of providing STEM opportunities to everyone, especially girls, who are often underrepresented in STEM fields.
“The goal of this event is to raise awareness of what STEM is and how it applies to everyday life, and how it can be fun,” said Kristen Gorham, chair lead for the SHS robotics team. “Technology surrounds us, and we rely on it for daily life. Plus, the answers to some of the biggest problems the world faces can be solved with science and technology. So, it is important to educate young people to be science and technology leaders.”
The event will include activity stations including: build your own robot, a demonstration on liquid nitrogen, a “tower power” physics challenge, a take-apart station and a robot demonstration.
“Even if students don’t ultimately pursue a STEM-based career, the experience and foundation they receive is a great foundation for any field,” said Gorham. “We do this by engaging them in exciting programs that build science, engineering and technology skills that inspire innovation and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication and leadership.”
Team 195 is SHS’s robotics team which is part of the FIRST (for inspiration and recognition of science and technology) Robotics program.
The program was founded by inventor Dean Karmen, and it pairs high school and grade school students with corporate engineering sponsors to build a robot which will compete in a sports-like event.

For best performance, the we recommend you use a graphics card with 512MB video memory (VRAM). 1 GB VRAM is required for rendering 4K projects.
Some Macbook and Mac mini models are not supported due to the more limited feature-set of their built-in graphics accelerators.
You can determine what graphics card is installed on your system by selecting the "About this Mac" command under the Apple menu.
When the system summary appears, click the "More Info..." button, which will launch the System Profiler application.
Graphics cards are listed under the "Graphics/Displays" section of the System Profiler.


As mobile devices are created differently, there are a lot of different Screen size available in the market. Due to the small screen size, mobile application developers had always find it hard to optimize the WAP portal for different devices. Keeping a record of the screen size is also difficult as there isn’t a standard way for mobile devices manufacturers to communicate to the mobile application developers.
User Agent Profile (UAProf) specification is the answer to this problem. It is used to capture capability and preference information for mobile devices. This information can be used by content providers to produce content in an appropriate format for the specific device.
In this article, we will discuss the Perl module which use UAProf to get the screen size of the mobile devices. For further information, you can download a copy of UAProf’s specification at:
To install, do the following:
