Prolonged contact with skin may cause injury.
Apple is warning consumers not to sleep with their iPhones while charging because the devices, cables and chargers can get warm and cause discomfort or even injury if pressed against the skin for a long period of time.
“Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or power adapter while it is running or connected to a power outlet for a long time,” the company says in the latest edition of its iPhone user manual. “For example, do not sleep on a device, power adapter or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow or your body when they are connected to a power outlet.”
Instead, keep the iPhone, power adapter and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area away from the body when charging. People who suffer from health conditions that prevent them from feeling heat are advised to take extreme precautions, the company says.
Third-party cables and chargers
Though iPhone and Apple brand USB power adapters are in compliance with surface temperature safety requirements, according to the company, continuous contact with hot surfaces may cause discomfort.
Apple includes a charging cable with the purchase of a new iPhone, but wireless chargers and power adapters are sold separately. If you need to replace a cable or buy a power adapter, the company recommends looking for a Made for iPhone label on the packaging. This means that the product was designed to connect specifically to an iPhone and has been certified to meet Apple’s performance standards.
Other third-party products need to comply with all applicable performance and safety standards. If they don’t, Apple warns they may pose a risk of fire, electric shock or other serious injury.
Apple continues to warn against using any chargers in damp places such as near a sink, bathtub or shower, or touching the devices with wet hands.
Interference with medical devices
If you use a medical device, Apple reiterates in its user manual that iPhones and MagSafe wireless charging accessories have magnets. Talk to your doctor and the medical device maker to find out if you need to keep a safe distance from certain gadgets.
Medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators may contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when they are nearby. A safe distance of more than 15 centimeters may be required when the phone is being used, according to Apple, and a distance of at least 30 centimeters may be required during wireless charging.
There are more than 1.46 billion active iPhone users worldwide, according to Demand Sage, a sales and marketing analytics firm.

Recently the Service Department has received a number of calls from customers reporting that their boat battery is dead and since it is within the warranty period, fell a replacement battery should be provided. Although it is true that batteries, both for boats and Sea Doos do have a warranty period, this warranty only covers a demonstrated "defective" battery. The warranty does not cover a battery that fails to perform due to poor maintenance.
On most recently built watercraft, there are a limited number of circuits that draw on a battery even while the ignition is off. If left unchecked, these batteries will eventually go flat and once left flat for a relatively short period of time will no longer be able to be charged. This failure is not covered under the battery warranty.
Any boat equipped with a battery switch should have that switch turned to the "off" position each time the boat is left unattended. Most automatic bilge pumps are wired directly to the battery and if that pump comes on due to rain water in the bilge, that battery will go flat and will not be able to be recharged. That is not a warranty issue.
It is strongly recommended that every boat have an "on board" battery charger and that the boat remains plugged-in when left unattended.
If a battery charger option is not desired, the boat owner should investigate the replacement of their existing battery with a dual purpose "deep cycle" battery. The dual purpose battery can be discharged and recharged repetitively.
There is no alternative to proper battery maintenance. Boats, like cars, should be started on a regular basis, if for no other reason than to provide the battery with a needed recharge.


Laboratório de Modelagem de Sistemas Complexos
Research endeavors within the LMSC-Laboratory involve students at every stage of their career. Undergraduates are encouraged to participate in the laboratory from their first semester on campus. Graduate students, postdoctoral researches and faculty members investigate topics ranging from biological chemistry to chaos theory.
For additional information on research activities within the LMSC-Laboratory, see the highlights below and visit faculty member's individual websites.
d-Quantum Mechanics Group
Our group is engaged in projects covering a wide range of interests in the field of condensed matter physics, most of them involving computer simulations of electronic structure. The research is mainly focused at the atomistic understanding of the electronic and structural properties of a variety of intriguing systems, ranging from biological molecules, liquid crystals to alloys.
Several different techniques are used to investigate the electronic structure of these systems, from fully ab initio calculations (at the Hartree-Fock and density functional theory level or even more accurate quantum chemical methods) to semi-empirical or empirical methods. Empirical potentials are also used in combinations with simulation procedures (e.g., Monte Carlo and Generalized Simulated Annealing GSA) to either obtain structures to be used in further quantum mechanical calculations, or to simply perform new molecular structures.
Recent applications include the study of bio-molecules (Protein Folding), Mass Spectroscopy (TOFMS-GSA), Binary Alloys and Hamiltonian Liquid Crystals, generalization of Arrhenius Theory and Chemical Kinetics, as well as the development of new approaches of Hartree-Fock theory (q-Hartree-Fock) .


If you want to update the creality cr10 printer using only octoprint, that is easy.

- AVR MCU Type : Atmega1284p
- AVR Programmer Type : Arduino
- AVR MCU Type : Atmega2560
- AVR Programmer Type : wiring
Now on the octoprint you will need to install one package. Best way is to ssh into the device and then run the apt-get command.
ssh email@example.com (or your octoprint ip)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avrdude
Then go to settings in octoprint and select Firmware Updater.
Leave it there and lets build the hex file in the Arduino ide.
Open Arduino, set the following parameters.
Now open marlin project, configure whatever you need, i use this github project https://github.com/njbrown09/Marlin-CR10-BLTouch.
Once that is done, lets build the hex file to be uploaded.
The generated files are in the sketch folder, something called Marlin.ino.sanguino.hex, the other one has bootloader and we will not be using it.
Back to the octoprint page, select the hex (without bootloader) file and press flash from file.
Wait until it is finished.

First, we need to calculate the absolute brightness of a nuclear fireball. This chart claims to show how the temperature and diameter of a small nuclear fireball (20 kt) varies over time. The light output will be greatest when the fireball is biggest and hottest. Let's focus on t = 0.1 seconds, when the fireball peaks at a temperature off 8000 Kelvin, and its diameter is 400 m.
The light power output of one square meter of surface is given by the Stefan-Bolzmann blackbody law. Multiply that by the surface area of the sphere to get the total light power output. I get 1 x 1014 watts. (Sanity check: a 20 kt weapon releases roughly 1014 Joules of energy; if a good fraction of that is released as light in a good fraction of a second, 1014 watts is reasonable.)
This light travels outward in all directions. By the time it reaches the Moon, it's spread out roughly evenly over the area of a sphere whose radius is the earth-moon distance. The nuke's brightness (radiant power density), in watts per square meter at the Moon's distance, is therefore about 5.39 x 10-5 W/m2
In comparison, the Sun's radiant power density at the Earth is 1368 W/m2. -- from the Moon, the nuke appears 25 million times less bright than the Sun does from Earth.
Astronomical objects (planets and stars) are compared on a magnitude scale, where brighter things have a smaller magnitude number. A dim star visible to the eye is magnitude 4 or 5, a typical bright star is magnitude zero, the bright planet Venus is -5, the full Moon seen from Earth is -12.6, and the Sun is -26.7. The scale goes up by 5 units for every factor of 100 in brightness. 25 million is 3.7 factors of 100, so the nuke seen from the Moon will have a visual magnitude of -26.7 + 5 * 3.7 = -8.
Thus, seen from the Moon the nuke will be somewhere between the brightness of Venus and the full Moon as seen from Earth. Really really damn bright. (If you've ever seen an Iridium flare, it's like that.) If it happened on the night side of the Earth, it would be clearly visible against the dark background.
However, the fully-lit Earth seen from the Moon is much brighter than the full Moon seen from Earth, because the Earth is both bigger and more reflective: I estimate it'd be about magnitude -16. It might be hard to notice a magnitude -8 "star" against the bright background of the sunlit Earth, but that's more about human visual perception than physics, so I can't really give a definite answer.Source


Printer, ProJet 6000 SLA Printer
This demonstration shows how the SLA process works. SLA uses liquid photopolymer to “print” a solid 3D model layer by layer. An ultraviolet laser beam traces the surface and interior boundaries of the model and fills in a two-dimensional cross section. The laser solidifies the resin wherever it hits. The printer creates each successive layer by submerging the build platform into liquid resin. Introduced in 1988, SLA was patented by Charles (Chuck) W. Hull, founder of 3D Systems.

A paper "An Automatic Parallelization Framework for Algebraic Computation Systems" by Yue Li and Gabriel Dos Reis was accepted by ISSAC 2011
This paper proposes an automatic parallelization framework for an existing computer algebra system. The framework performs a semantics-based static analysis to extract reductions in library components. Reductions using associative binary operators are automatically transformed to their parallel versions. Our implementation is evaluated using algebraic library functions and a self-implemented application. Experimental results show that up to 5 times speed-up for the application is obtained. It is feasible to adapt the core of this framework to other algebraic computation systems and programming languages. The adaptation requires a type system which is able to provide semantics algebraic information from users.

Landing: Feb.18, 2021
Launch Vehicle: Atlas V-541
NASA’s next mission to Mars — the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission — is targeted to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station no earlier than July 20, 2020. It will land in Jezero Crater on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021. Perseverance is the most sophisticated rover NASA has ever sent to Mars, with a name that embodies NASA’s passion for taking on and overcoming challenges. It will search for signs of ancient microbial life, characterize the planet’s geology and climate, collect carefully selected and documented rock and sediment samples for possible return to Earth, and pave the way for human exploration beyond the Moon.
Perseverance will also ferry a separate technology experiment to the surface of Mars — a helicopter named Ingenuity, the first aircraft to fly in a controlled way on another planet.
This marks 45 years since the very first Viking Landers touched down on the surface of Mars as part of ‘Project Viking’. Nasa’s Viking project found a place in history when it became the first U.S mission to land a spacecraft safely on the surface of Mars AND return images of the surface. This image along with the Project Viking Patch and other related pictures/patches form part of the ISA library and can be viewed at the website www.internationalspacearchives.com

Research on oxide materials has gained importance in recent years. While most of the oxide materials exhibit n-type semiconductor behavior, Copper (II) oxide (Cu2O) exhibits p-type oxide semiconductor behavior. Due to the rare p-type behavior, it is possible to produce single junctions with Cu2O or multiple p-n junctions with n-type layers such as ZnO, Ga2O3. Within the scope of the project, the electronic properties of undoped and doped Cu2O crystals will be calculated by density functional theory (DFT) for the first 6 months. It is planned to investigate the electronic properties of Cu2O crystals with different doping and to experimentally examine the doping that improves the p-type property from these dopings. In the literature, it has been observed that the addition of Magnesium (Mg) increases the conductivity of the Cu2O crystal.
For this reason, it is planned to investigate computationally and experimentally Mg and similarly existing Zinc (Zn), Gallium (Ga) doping atoms. Calculations will be performed with GPAW DFT software running on Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) and gpaw-tools as user interface written in Python language developed by our research group. The growths, which will start within the first 6 months, will be made with the mist vapor deposition method (eng. Mist-CVD), which is our own production. Mist-CVD is a liquid precursor based CVD method using metal salts, acetic acid and alcohols, which does not require vacuum, is economical, non-toxic and low cost used in the growth of many oxide materials. In the first 12 months, Cu2O crystals will be grown on soda-lime, ITO and FTO coated glass, SiO2/Si,c-Al2O3. In the last 6 months, p-n junctions will be created by using the n-type Ga2O3 grown with spin coating. It is planned to examine the effects of many experimental parameters on the growth behavior and physical properties of Cu2O crystals in growth. With this method, besides producing p-n junctions in a cheaper and more environmentally friendly way, it will pave the way for the establishment of a possible start-up company and obtaining a patent for mist-CVD device production.

I decided to go for the XYC X30 from banggood. It was reasonably priced, is silent (fanless), and has low power consumption.
As it comes from Banggood, it is a bare bones system, so requires RAM, storage, and Wifi (if you want to add it)
Ram: There's a slight downside here as it will only support a maximum of 8Gb and only has one slot, so I inserted my 8Gb module and moved on!
Storage: There's one on board SSD slot, and one SATA port (with SATA cable included) I don't have a SSD spare, and wasn't bothered about the speed defecit of spinning media, so I installed a spare 360Gb 2.5" drive which has been lying around for a while waiting for something to do!

What is Modem
Modem is abbreviation for Modulator – De-modulator. Modulator converts information from digital mode to analog mode at the transmitting end, and de-modulator converts the same from analog to digital at receiving end. The process of converting analog signals of one computer network into digital signals of another computer network so they can be processed by a receiving computer is referred to as digitizing. When an analog facility is used for data communication between two digital devices called Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), modems are used at each end. DTE can be a terminal or a computer.The modem at the transmitting end converts the digital signal generated by DTE into an analog signal by modulating a carrier. This modem at the receiving end demodulates the carrier and hand over the demodulated digital signal to the DTE.

Artificial Intelligence is the ability of some machines to develop processes typical of human intelligence . Some of them are: planning, reasoning, creativity and learning. To achieve this, the technology is based on learning called machine learning.
However, it is important to understand that
despite being called Artificial Intelligence, when we talk about this technology we are not talking about intelligence, but about prediction . Although they can simulate human intelligence in some ways, what they actually do is accurately predict and carry out a previously Poland Phone Number Data requested result. For example, human beings have the ability to take information from one source and use it in different ways and in very different fields, so our intelligence is transferable. This does not happen with AIs.
ChatGPT, the best Artificial Intelligence for advertising in Google Ads?
To this day, ChatGPT is one of the AI models best known by the public. It was created by OpenAI and is based on the latest version of the GPT-4 language model. The objective with ChatGPT was to design a tool capable of giving detailed answers to user questions through a simple and understandable language for the majority . But what has made it really successful is that its access is completely free. Well, although for $20/month you can get ChatGPT plus and increase response speed, as well as access more features, the basics and what allows you to use the tool is open access.
One of the most notable limitations
that we can find in ChatGPT is that it is only trained with data up to 2021 , so subsequent information is unknown to it and in some aspects it could be out of date. In addition, these are some of its BQB Directory most negative aspects:
He does not offer his sources of information and if you ask for them he can give you non-existent and invented urls.
It does not distinguish the truth from a lie , so it can pass off unreal information as true.

There are many different types of networks out there, yet one of the most interesting ones is actually termed the “blockchain technology”. Basically, this is when information is stored digitally in a ledger. The journal can be obtained from numerous sources, including software programs, computers, and even the online world. No matter what method is used, even though, the journal is basically the same thing: it is a bunch of digital transactions and data that are supervised and documented by several nodes.
Among the this Extra resources technology can be ethereal. The ethereal project began for smart phones to the trading of ether, which is essentially an internet foreign exchange. Soon, nevertheless, the project expanded into a general application and the identity was converted to “Etherium”. Right now, anyone can download the free “Ether” wallet very own phone and use it to track their particular trades. Anyone can also build their own private network referred to as “ethernet”, which can connect to the key network, known as the “ethernetfabric network”, or engage in an existing fine mesh network designed for even greater secureness. If you want to use the ledger system of the brand new protocol, now you can download and install the “Ethermine” Wallet.
Basically, any person can write to the “ethereal block chain” ledger, and anyone can see back that data. This kind of brings up one important level: if you’re sending money from a single currency to a new, you have to send out the money making use of the proper journal in the correct system. If you are receiving money, you need to acquire it in the proper journal. There are many different Blockchain technologies in existence, plus the one that the ethereal project chose was to build a user friendly, open-source, secure, and low-cost software pré-réglable wallet called “Ethernet wallets”. This is the exact same technology used by the likes of PayPal, Citibank, Master card, Discover, and Moneybookers to transfer money all over the world.

Pakistani-born Mavalvala among team of scientists to detect gravitational waves
Pakistani-born astrophysicist Dr Nergis Mavalvala was among the team of scientists who verified Albert Einsteinís 1915 general theory of relativity.
According to the channel, Nergis Mavalvala is a Pakistani-born astrophysicist, A Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is one of the key people who detected gravitational waves. In 1916 Ė Albert Einstein predicts gravitational waves exist as a consequence of the theory of general relativity.
Almost 100 years ago, the famous scientist Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves or ripples in the fabric of space-time in 1916. Einstein was of the view that these waves would be really small and nearly impossible to detect.
In an interview to American newspaper, Dr Nergis stated that the technology has been advanced now as we can not only see the things but can also hear the secrets. She said that the eagled-eyed scientists have altogether opened an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos by finding ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, making it possible to hear the secrets.
Studying the idea, scientists with Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration started working and for the first time detected the gravitational waves in an instrument on Earth. Dr Mavalvala, 47, attended the Convent of Jesus and Mary and did her graduation in Physics and Astronomy from Wellesley College in 1990.
She further preceded her education and received PhD. degree in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1997. Pakistani-born astrophysicist started working on gravitational waves at MIT Physics department in 2002.
Gravitational waves give us another way to observe space. These waves could tell us a little more about how the universe formed. So detecting these waves would give us a new insight into the cosmic events that produced them. Finally, gravitational waves could also help physicists understand the fundamental laws of the universe. They are, in fact, a crucial part of Einstein's general theory of relativity.


Deep KRACKs found in WiFi security
By now you’ve probably heard about a fundamental flaw in WiFi security that’s been sending waves of panic around the Internet, dubbed KRACKs by the man who discovered it, researcher Mathy Vanhoef.
Vanhoef recently publicised the existence of serious weaknesses in WPA2 (a protocol that secures all modern protected wireless networks) that potentially allows hackers to intercept the encrypted connection between a router and a WiFi device.
This means that wireless-enabled networks and devices (including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, printers, smartphones and other smart devices, even security cameras) can no longer be presumed secure. As Vanhoef states, “If your device supports Wi-Fi, it is most likely affected.” Android 6.0 is said to be particularly at risk.
“This can be abused to steal sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, emails, photos, and so on,” Vanhoef goes on to explain. “Depending on the network configuration, it is also possible to inject and manipulate data. For example, an attacker might be able to inject ransomware or other malware into websites.”
“If your device supports Wi-Fi, it is most likely affected.”
This obviously has serious ramifications for businesses and organisations, especially if they were to wrongly assume their local WiFi network is secure – some environments, for example, don’t require authentication to access documents on the network, which exposes them to potential attacks.
It’s worth noting that apart from Vanhoef’s findings there have been no known reports of “KRACK attacks” in the wild (so far), plus there are certain limitations. For example, an attacker needs to be physically in range of a WiFi network in order to infiltrate it.
Nonetheless the vulnerabilities are very real and the implications enormous – KRACKs work against both old and new WPA standards, as well as networks that use advanced encryption (AES), making the number of affected personal and enterprise networks and client devices worldwide untold.
Fortunately there are measures that businesses and organisations should take to protect themselves against KRACKs.
What to do
- Perform an audit: Make an inventory of connected devices (computers, phones, tablets, etc) and consider replacing any WiFi device that uses outdated technology or isn’t patchable — it could pose a risk to your network in the future.
- Update your devices: Install security updates on all affected devices as soon as they become available. This is an absolute must. Some companies like Microsoft have been quick to roll out updates, while others will be releasing theirs in the coming weeks – check with the individual vendor or stay informed via CERT.
- Update the firmware of your router: If you’ve sourced your own router, contact the manufacturer for details. If your router has been supplied by an ISP, check with the relevant provider. Some Australian ISPs have indicated that where possible (and if necessary) they will update routers remotely to fix the security vulnerability. However Vanhoef states that KRACKs targets clients, not the access points, so your router may not require a security update.
Still waiting for updates?
- Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN): VPN software can offer some protection, as it will encrypt all traffic. There are however some caveats that businesses should consider before implementing a VPN.
- Use only secure websites: Many websites (such as banking apps) use HTTPS as an additional layer of protection. You can see if a website is using HTTPS by checking the prefix at the left of the website address bar.
- Disable WiFi on your device: Where practicable, disable WiFi on devices and use cellular data instead.
If you’re concerned about the KRACK WiFi vulnerability and are unsure if your organisation’s WiFi network and devices are protected, talk to us today. Ascend Business Technology’s experience in security implementations can help you mitigate present and future risks.

Building Confidence Through Competence
Ultrasonic testing involves the use of high frequency sound waves to determine the condition of a component. These high frequency sound waves, ultrasound, travel along very distinct paths and reflect back to the transducer allowing the technician to "see" inside the part being tested.
There are two primary modes of propagation for industrial ultrasonic techniques, longitudinal beam for determining thickness of the component or some material properties and flaws, and shear wave testing which projects a sound beam in at a refracted angle allowing for the detection of welding or material flaws.
Of paramount importance in ultrasonic testing is the operator’s ability to know where the sound is and to interpret the returned signal that would often indicate a flaw in the material or reduced thickness. Our courses are designed to ensure that you can perform these two crucial functions.
Other modes exist, but are instructed on an “as-needed” basis such as phased array inspection, time of flight diffraction, or guided wave ultrasonics, for instance.

Some ideas like instant settling of international payments and relaying of real-time news were mere dreams a few decades ago. We live in a world where streaming services, mobile devices, and social networks are already taking over. Some business owners who have refused the wave of technological innovation have been forced to scale down, and some kicked out of business. The following are some of the technologies that are taking over the world
How cool could it be when you have a car that will wade through different streets without a driver and still drive to your preferred destination? Some prototypes are ready to make this dream a reality. Such a vehicle will be programmed to respond to various instructions and read the external environment and take action. It is important to note that these cars will not only take people from one point to the other but will transform the entire transport industry in areas such as deliveries and ordering of various services.
We as humans face a lot of challenges, but we can overcome most of them with the technologies and intellect that we possess. For instance, we can make our bodies resistant to certain strains of diseases through genetic engineering. There are always mixed reactions when it comes to this concept as there are people who support and those who oppose in equal measures. As Human Paragon announced, the idea of transhumanism is broad and holds certain beliefs about how life should be and how technology can help us shape our future while making life better.
The first time that blockchain technology was seen in a real application was when Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the Blockchain Whitepaper in 2009. Some people can still not tell the difference between blockchain and bitcoin ten years later. Those who have taken their time to study blockchain now understand that it has more applications beyond the crypto craze. For instance, blockchain can make elections more transparent as it relays real-time results that are hard to manipulate after an entry has been made and verified. The real estate sector is also benefiting from tokenization where retail investors can become partial owners of a property which lowers the entry barrier.
Some people argue that robots might render people jobless in the decades to come. Companies that make such robots use them in various applications such as factory assistants and also on the battlefield. Robots do not get tired like humans and can thus work for 24 hours, and they do not need remuneration. Some robots operate in the security space and can detect unusual activities and raise alarm in real-time. However, there will always be tasks that will require human reasoning, and it is hard to develop a robot with such abilities.
Humans are known for their intelligence, but machines also have artificial intelligence. AI is not a new thing as the first instance of something similar to AI was documented 60 years ago. IBM was the first company to develop a supercomputer with AI capabilities, Deep Blue, that defeated Garry Kasparov, the then world chess champion in 1997. Similar supercomputers that could match humans were developed in the later years. There have been advances in algorithmic, data science and increasing computer power that has been making AI more advanced. AI is already in major fields such as medicine where it helps practitioners with the diagnosis. AI is also huge in smart homes, which can read instructions from the external environment and take necessary action.
Use of drones
These devices were mostly used in the past by the military to spy on enemies. The past decade has changed the concept, and now they are in photography and cinematography. We also have some drones that people fly for fun, which is also a source of entertainment. Various manufacturers are also working towards developing drones that can deliver supplies in inaccessible areas, which will change the delivery business for good.
Remaining updated on the major technologies that are reshaping this world is the only way to ensure that you do not miss a single opportunity. There may be some technologies that may lead to job loss, but most of them are opening new opportunities for humans.

Smartphone evolution era is here – the creation of a mobile phone and handheld computer combined makes this ‘advanced computer capability’ far greater than the average mobile phone and technology revolution since the Internet.
Several digital technology providers are testing the combination of cloud-based software to create a new generation of smartphone devices.
A significant example is the rise in popularity and development of the ‘barcode scanner app’ and the ‘e-reader app’, which has evolved from consumers ‘scanning advertisements’ for products and services to making ‘contactless payments’. This technology works through the use of cloud-based software platforms, integrating with devices and changing the use of the camera.
These new additions are a constant attempt to keep ahead of the competition and win over target audiences. Whether it is another smartphone/tablet or app, these new product lines are generally created with enhanced improvements from their predecessors in terms of features and performance.
The latest trend known as ‘BYOD’ (Bring Your Own Device) was created by digital technology providers currently testing the idea of a potential 360 customer experience. The idea is for the customer to bring their smartphone device and ‘scan products or services’ they would like to purchase within the store/s. The next step is for customers to continue using their smartphone devices to then make a ‘contactless payment’ at the end. This would mean one step further along from ‘self-service tills’ as the customer would gain more control over their shopping experience.
On the other hand, at an attempt to keep up with these digital trends, technology providers will have an increase in demand for digital specialists with these niche skills.
At IMSworldwide, we understand the popularity of the smartphone evolution and are more than aware of the ‘trendy’ developments within the digital space, this is why the IMSworldwide website is accessible through smartphone and tablet devices. Our Consultants at IMSworldwide are able to react to the current client demand for digital subject matter experts and welcome the opportunity to speak with candidates with niche digital skillsets to discuss current and upcoming opportunities.

Digitizing of the NHS
The NHS, under its NHS Digital body, had established in April 2013 its strategy to use technology to deliver better health care services to patients by 2020. To facilitate this, current Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced the NHSX unit, a platform for talent within the government, the NHS and the medical industry, to collaborate to improve digital transformation. Essentially, the NHSX will set the national direction on technology. The aim is that, whilst the NHS has been traditionally slow with improving its IT systems[http://www.nationalhealthexecutive.com/Robot-News/nshx-hancock-unveils-n...], collaboration by experts in the field of healthcare and technology will ensure the NHS long-term technology plan is propelled at a faster pace.

(13) Gas detectors are designed for monitoring the environment by one of two methods, diffusion or sample draw. In the case of diffusion, natural forces are relied upon to cause the ambient air to interact with the gas sensor. As an alternative, the air sample can be drawn to the sensor using either a hand-operated, squeeze-bulb aspirator or a motorized sample pump. Obviously, the motorized pump is much more convenient and easier to use, and it can provide a continuous air sample to the sensor at a constant flow rate.
Sample draw reduces gas response time compared to natural diffusion, and it facilitates testing of valves, pipe connections, etc. for leaks, and enables the monitoring of remote areas or enclosed vessels where nonambient ...

Inventing, inventing, and searching for are all synonyms for ground breaking technologies. In the commercial world, technological innovation refers to a procedure or way of improving existing products and technologyset.net services, or introducing new ones. Technical new development can occur in technologies, procedures or even institution.
One of the best samples of innovative systems is Amazon. They have been named the world's state-of-the-art company to get four years in a line by Forbes. Founded in 1999, they launched a new system that harnesses a new technology program.
Innovative solutions are definitely the way of the near future, and businesses must learn how to use them. A few examples contain augmented actuality, which will give more reasonable lighting effects and new ways to showcase products. Digital solutions can also increase employee preservation, which in turn makes an innovative financial system.
Digital technology have revolutionized the way all of us work in the 21st century. They have democratized understanding, making it more accessible. Technology has also allowed people to connect with each other.
One of the most beneficial technological innovations is normally renewable energy, including photovoltaic cells and geothermal energy. You may even use ocean wave electricity and focused solar energy.
Progressive technologies are necessary, because they will improve quality of life, increase production and spread economic benefits after some time. In addition , they may be used to business address social and societal problems. This is particularly true of underprivileged populations, that can benefit many from technological advancement.
Ground breaking technologies can also be used to improve the quality of work. Digital technologies help to increase machine productivity and improve employee preservation.


Is global warming linked with ozone depletion?
New Harvard study shows links between warming, changes in atmospheric chemistry and skin cancer
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — Along with serious global impacts like rising sea levels and increases in weather extremes, global warming may lead to a significantly higher risk for skin cancer, according to a new study published this week in the Journal Science.
Harvard researchers say they’ve discovered a connection between climate change and depletion of the ozone layer over the U.S. that could allow more damaging ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth’s surface, leading to increased incidence of skin cancer.
The increase in UV radiation could also affect other species, including vitally important crops like wheat, that could also be susceptible to genetic damage.
In the system described by Anderson and his team, water vapor injected into the stratosphere by powerful thunderstorms converts stable forms of chlorine and bromine into free radicals capable of transforming ozone molecules into oxygen.
Recent studies have suggested that the number and intensity of such storms are linked to climate changes, Anderson said, which could in turn lead to increased ozone loss and greater levels of harmful UV radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, and potentially higher rates of skin cancer.
“If you were to ask me where this fits into the spectrum of things I worry about, right now it’s at the top of the list,” Anderson said. “What this research does is connect, for the first time, climate change with ozone depletion, and ozone loss is directly tied to increases in skin cancer incidence, because more ultraviolet radiation is penetrating the atmosphere.”

With the use of an SDR radio and the work other interested people have done on creating software there's a wealth of interesting information you can get from the airwaves. I've recently just setup an ADS-B reciever using a Raspberry Pi, R820T based dongle and some free software. The data I recieve is uploaded to Flightradar24 to help them boost coverage.
My Initial tests used a windows PC using the rtl1090 application and the flightradar software however I now have it running on a Raspberry Pi which makes for a much smaller and power effiecient reciever. I also tried doing this with my original E4000 based device but found that it cut off just below the required frequency for recieving ADS-B data.
To recieve the ADS-B data I used an application called dump1090.
Building this requires the rtl-sdr to have already been build (write up to come), The steps to build dump1090 are:
git clone https://github.com/antirez/dump1090.git cd dump1090/ make sudo cp dump1090 /usr/local/bin/
This can then be run from the command line like this
dump1090 --interactive --enable-agc --interactive-ttl 3600 --interactive-rows 30 --metric
and it will show all the flight data being recieved which should look something like this:
Hex Flight Altitude Speed Lat Lon Track Messages Seen . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4ca704 0 0 0.000 0.000 0 3 51 sec 450023 0 0 0.000 0.000 0 1 105 sec 4ca6a5 RYR6275 1743 518 50.577 -1.640 7 344 1 sec 400e5c 4287 783 0.000 0.000 22 8 175 sec 4006b3 BAW247 6473 870 50.588 -1.748 212 1627 1 sec 40055f 7760 0 0.000 0.000 0 1546 0 sec 405bfe BAW245 7714 811 50.425 -1.905 214 2350 21 sec 400fe0 0 0 0.000 0.000 0 3 245 sec
To upload the data to flightradar you need to download the package from http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/4270-Linux-feeder-software-for-Fl... For the Raspberry Pi the ARM LE version. I'm using the Dynamicly linked version dated 10/4/2013. This can be installed into /usr/local/bin with the command
sudo tar xzvf fr24feed_arm-le_232.tgz -C /usr/local/bin/
Two allow the Flight Radar application to use the data from dump1090 you need to add two additional flags to the command line
dump1090 --interactive --enable-agc --interactive-ttl 3600 --metric --interactive-rows 30 --net --net-sbs-port 30003
You can then run the flight radar application to get the data from dump1090 and upload to the flight tradar servers.
As I had already set up flight radar on a windows machine I had the key to use. If you don't have a key for this recieving station you'll need to read the instructions on the Flight Radar site.
I've had issues with the dynamically linked version of fr24feed stopping working after a period of time. To fix this I'm currently trying the statically linked version of fr24feed. This seems to need an extra environment variable to connect and so should be run like:
FR24AUTHIP=184.108.40.206 fr24feed_arm-le_232s --<key>
There are some reports of this still failing, as a fix for this the recommendation is to try an older copy (version 225).
A Work in Progress is to run a local server to show the flights I'm recieving which I intend to do with http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/ and mono.
Installing mono on the Raspberry Pi can be acheived using the command
sudo apt-get install mono-runtime mono-2.0-gac libmono-winforms2.0-cil mono-csharp-shell
Check if the version of mono on the pi will work properly
If the output is not 16 (like the above) then the version of mono may have issues, See http://elinux.org/CSharp_on_RPi for information. You can either try installing mono from source (possibly with patches) or change to using a softfloat version of raspbian.
Download the VirtualRadar Software
Create a Folder for it and change into that folder
mkdir VirtualRadar cd VirtualRadar
extract the archive
tar xzvf ~/HAB/VirtualRadar.tar.gz
Run the application
At this point there are errors that still need resolving
The method I prefer to run these on the Pi is via a screen session. This allows me to run both applications within a single SSH session and also close that SSH session leaving the programs running in a way that I can reconnect to them later. This is setup be first installing screen:
sudo apt-get install screen
To simplifiy starting the programs I have also created a ~/.screenrc file which starts both programs with screen. This file looks like:
screen -t dump1090 0 dump1090 --interactive --enable-agc --interactive-ttl 3600 --metric --interactive-rows 30 --net --net-sbs-port 30003 screen -t fr24 1 fr24feed_arm-le_232 --fr24key=<key>
To start screen for the first time just type:
If you want to re-connect to an existing screen session run
screen -rd There are many more things you can do with screen and if you regularly use linux SSH sessions I highly recommend learning to use screen or one of the alternatives.
Resources I used to configure this are:

Light of a single color can be described as a wave with a specified wavelength or as a photon with a specified energy. Another aspect of light is that it can be polarized with the wave vibrations lying in one plane. Many materials respond differently in their ability to transmit light depending on the relation of the plane of polarization to the crystal axes of the materials. In optical microscopy, the light beams can be polarized by use of filters.
Light is emitted from an atom when an electron makes a transition from a higher energy state to a lower energy state (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Light (photon) emission due to an electron making a transition from a higher to a lower energy state. The emitted light carries one unit of angular momentum. The sketch at the right hand side shows circularly polarized light.
Conservation of energy applies so that the energy of light equals the energy difference between the two states. An additional constraint is that angular momentum must be conserved. The emitted photon carries away one unit of angular momentum, shown schematically on the right hand side of Fig. 1 as a rotating wave of circularly polarized light. Consequently the energy levels in the electron transition leading to light emission must differ by one unit of angular momentum. The requirement of conservation of angular momentum in light emission applies to all photons: infrared, visible light, x-rays and gamma rays.
Light can be linearly polarized as shown in Fig. 2; the light wave lies on a plane. Fig. 2 shows a horizontal and a vertical plane depiction of two linearly polarized light waves. The arrows on the right side are a conventional notation to indicate the orientation of the plane of polarization and indicate the direction of the electric vector oscillation. An unpolarized beam of light can be represented by two vector components of wave oscillations oriented at right angles to each other.
Figure 2. Two examples of linearly polarized light where the electric vector of the light wave vibrates in one plane.
Human vision does not distinguish between polarized and unpolarized light. However some materials such as Polaroid can absorb certain orientations of polarized light.
Polaroid represents a class of materials that absorbs light oscillations in one direction but not the component oriented at right angles. These polarizing materials often contain long particles, rods or plates, aligned parallel to each other in a regular arrangement. These aligned particles transmit one plane of polarized light and absorb the perpendicular one as illustrated in Fig. 3. The polarizer can transform circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light.
Figure 3. Circularly polarized light incident on a polarizer is transmitted as linearly polarized light.
If two polarizers have their orientation axes aligned parallel to each other, the first will absorb half the unpolarized light and transmit linearly polarized light which is then transmitted without absorption through the second polarizer. The second polarizer is referred to as an "analyzer". If the analyzer is rotated by 90° so that the two polarizers are crossed with their axes perpendicular, the second polarizer will absorb all the light transmitted by the first.
Polarized light can be produced by transmission through polarizers or by reflection from the surface of transparent material such as glass or water. Fig. 4 shows incident light represented by two crossed, wave-oscillation vectors. The reflected light is polarized in the plane of the reflecting surface. The refracted beam will contain a mixture of the two orientations. If the incident light is incident at the Brewster angle, θB, the reflected light is fully polarized as shown in Fig. 4. At angles other than the Brewster angle, the reflected light is partially polarized.
Figure 4. Light incident at the Brewster angle, θB, on glass is reflected with complete linear polarization and refracted with a mixture of two perpendicular components.
The Brewster angle is related to the index of refraction n of the material by
For glass, n = 1.5 and θB = 56.3° and for water, n = 1.33 and θB = 53°.

Symptom: When attempting to connect to a VPN server on the outside of the PIX it returns error 721 or 800, the computer failed to respond.
Resolution: 1) In order to PPTP through a PIX, you must have a one-to-one mapping from the external IP to an internal IP for type 47 GRE packets and port 1723. For example, for pptp add this: conduit permit gre host x.x.x.x any AND conduit permit tcp host x.x.x.x eq 1723. For l2tp over ipsec: conduit permit esp host x.x.x.x any, conduit permit udp host x.x.x.x eq 1701 any AND conduit permit udp host x.x.x.x eq 500 any.
2) If the PIX is V6.3(3) or above, you can enable PPTP fixup, fixup protocol pptp 1723.

“We are entering a new world where machines are gradually becoming more human than humans while not making mistakes or having prejudices,” noted Professor Freedman said.
In the future robots will not only replace factory workers and employees with medium skills, but also employees with high skills in positions which require strong judgment, such as lawyers and judges, according to Richard Freedman, professor of Harvard University.
“The lawyers are just as likely to lose their jobs as the truck drivers or factory workers […] The robots can make burgers and control dishwashers, but in the future the so-called ‘white collar’ jobs will also be affected,” the professor estimated while addressing a conference of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (cedefop) entitled “Impact of technology and workplace change on skill needs,” which was held in Thessaloniki.
Indeed, the prospect of robots – bosses is also “on the table”, as for example, in Amazon’s warehouses, portable robotic devices are responsible for monitoring the employees’ working hours.
“We are entering a new world where machines are gradually becoming more human than humans while not making mistakes or having prejudices,” noted Professor Freedman, who has been awarded with the Mincer and IZA prizes,.
However, he added, the role of humans is not downgraded. “I am very optimistic about the future of the humans […] In the future we will find new things to do,” he said.


By the time Doug Curtis founded Curtis Electromusic Specialties in 1979, he had designed and built seven electronic music synthesizers for his own use and he held patents on integrated circuits designed for the commercial portfolio of semi-custom chip maker Interdesign. Curtis Electromusic was a business venture based on Doug’s dream of providing electronic devices that made possible the new sounds and combinations of effects conceived by musicians.
Doug approached product development and marketing by hearing ideas that musicians might wish to express through their compositions. No doubt that he had specific ideas of his own about what products to develop next. So he went to his customers in a dialog that typically started with, “Do you think that the musician would like to be able to …..? ” His style of wondering and developing his thoughts about products lead to a strong pipeline of product demand in this specialized marketplace.
Curtis Electromusic operated between 1979 and 1988. In 1988, Doug absorbed the company into OnChip Systems, Inc. offering semi-custom chips for a broad range of applications and industries still served today.
Curtis Electromusic Specialties was founded in 1979 to advance sounds produced by electronic musical instruments.
Initial design of custom integrated circuits for Oberheim Electronics and Arp Instruments launched the company. While consulting with synth pioneers, Curtis Electromusic developed a unique and versatile microprocessor controlled synthesizer using the first of our custom IC’s, the Lin-Log Synthesizer.
As a natural extension , Curtis Electromusic Specialties began to expand its line of music synthesizer “chips.” Efforts to develop minimizer integrated components in a smaller chip size resulted in a new standard of high performance the lowest possible cost. The first product, the CEM3310 quickly found its way into designs by Oberheim Electronics and Moog Instruments.
For applications that could not be fulfilled by the CES standard products, the company offered proprietary technology for custom IC design. Thus, the manufacturer was always assured of receiving custom devices with better performance and lower cost than available from any other source.


We are talking 5G on this weeks episode of the podcast!
Welcome to the show (virtually) and here’s a quick rundown of today’s topic – as you likely know, 5G is coming to an internet near you, and it’s being touted as the way the world is really going to change. It’s being billed as a way to ramp up IoT (internet of things), bump up connection speeds, and create an overall Jetson style experience for everyone who gets in on it.
Is this reality or just hype? Is it possible that 5G can actually bring so much more connectivity to our lives that we will start living in the world depicted by science fiction writers in the 1950s? Are we looking at autonomous flying cars that will whisk us from place to place, while we watch movies from our personal cloud during the trip?
Or is it a more likely possibility that our data, our personal information, all the things we think we own, that these will be exposed to more and more third parties, whether or not they are really relevant to the services they will be providing?
Hey, you! Get off of my cloud!
There are already plenty of rumblings about Huawei and other 5G service and hardware providers, and the US government has been working diligently in an attempt to block some of these companies from being awarded contracts in the US, the EU, and other locations.
Next on the episode, we’re going to touch on the potential health issues that 5G transmissions could potentially bring to the party. There are plenty of people – and at least one city – that feel strongly enough about the potential health risks from 5G that the technology has been banned from use.
That’s countered by those who argue that the technology is going to enable major advancements in the technical fields like remote surgery or medical diagnosis, so-called smart cities, and other beneficial technology for the masses.


The IBM Type 37 Radio Supervised Time Control Clock was likely the first semi-automatic radio controlled clocks sold commercially. They contained a 5-tube superheterodyne receiver tuned to 5 MHz capable of correcting the clock's movement every hour. One of these clocks is on display at the NIST Laboratories in Boulder, Colorado.
In this talk, Michael Lippold K7MTL, will share what he's uncovered while researching these unique devices and how they were used in the 1950's and 1960's.
