Crypto Mining Performance of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
A number of days ago Nvidia has presented their brand-new schedule of GTX 1050 and also GTX 1050 Ti GPUs, entrance level for players and the follower of the prominent GTX 750 Ti and also the more current GTX 950. We obtained an MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4G OC video clip card to provide it a quick examination as well as see exactly what Nvidia needs to supply with their brand-new GPUs in terms of performance in a few of one of the most preferred crypto mining algorithms. While the GTX 1050 Ti might not be the most powerful service for mining, the fascinating component below is the reduced power consumption per board similar to it was back when GTX 750 Ti was launched. So while it could not be the very best choice for more serious multi-GPU mining procedures, it can still be a sensible choice for a reduced power home mining gear with 6x GTX 1050 Ti as an example.
The GeForce GTX 1050 as well as GTX 1050 Ti are initially intended to be made use of without exterior power and also have a TDP limit of 75W(due to the PCI-E port ), though we anticipate that there will certainly be some business providing even more serious models with outside PCI-E power. Do note that if you intend on structure 6x GTX 1050 Ti GPUs extracting rig you will certainly still should use powered extenders in order to stay clear of the possibilty of harming the motherboard as the power draw from these will be significant.
When we consider the reality that the new GPUs are based on 14nm production process (the initial GPUs to go down from 16nm to 14nm for Nvidia) and obviously do have some wonderful headroom for overclocking. We have procured +195 MHz on the core and also +150 MHz on the video memory with the default voltages as well as exactly what was limiting us from going further was the power limiter as the card was hitting the TDP and also might not enhance the operating frequency that a lot. Still the maximum frequency of the GPU it managed to hit briefly was 1911 MHz, so with higher power limit as well as with far better air conditioning such operating frequencies could be readily available for consistent boost.
Below are the numbers, contrasting the efficiency of GTX 750 Ti, GTX 950 as well as GTX 1050 Ti utilizing the most recent NiceHash Miner software to get the hashrates of various preferred GPU mining formulas currently. As you could see there is a really wonderful renovation in hashrate between GTX 750 Ti and GTX 1050 Ti, maybe with some respectable overclock the new GPU can also reach increase the efficiency in some formulas. Nonetheless the renovation from GTX 750 Ti is excellent in regards to efficiency and while there is additionally respectable enhancement from just what GTX 950 deals, it is not that significant actually. The main factor for that is that specs smart the GTX 950 and GTX 1050 Ti look pretty similar, even though they are based on different styles it is just like the older one is simply a bit gradually clocked and also has rather greater power usage. Still the GTX 950 is basically in between the GTX 750 Ti and also GTX 1050 Ti in regards to hashrate in quite much all algorithms in addition to Cryptonight where the strange outcome is most likely as a result of the lack of optimizations.
In the long run the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is truly an excellent improvement over the GTX 750 Ti in terms of mining performance, you could possibly get the a bit greater mining performance from 4x GTX 1050 Ti just like 6x GTX 750 Ti, and also the power use will certainly be lower. You could still construct an excellent mining rig with decent hashrate using 6x GTX 1050 Ti GPUs and also do with a 600W power supply just great. Obviously, as currently discussed it could not be the best choice for severe mining operations where GTX 1070 would do far better in terms of efficiency, but also for house miners it could still be a viable choice… … similar to GTX 750 Ti did when it initially came out.

AI and Traffic Engineering
Accidents at intersections typically involve two or more vehicles contesting a space designed for one. All too often, however, a pedestrian is also involved, either with multiple vehicles or with one vehicle. Either way, it is usually the pedestrian who suffers the most.
The City of Denver has received a federal grant to deploy technology to address traffic congestion along with vehicle and pedestrian safety. Under this federal grant, “Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program,” Denver contracted with Boulder AI, an IoT (Internet of Things) hardware and software company, under which Boulder AI will provide technology to make traffic crossings for pedestrians safer. The planning for intersection safety in Denver is focused on Boulder AI’s artificial intelligence driven platform that makes decisions based on traffic flow analytics and pedestrian behavior to inform real-time interventions and long-term projects.
For example, traffic signal operations can be modified if someone, such as a young child or a physically impaired individual, needs a little more time to cross the street. Boulder AI’s visual IoT platform provides a way to do this while maintaining the pedestrian’s privacy. The Boulder AI system doesn’t capture or transmit any video of people but only reacts to their movement.
In 2019, Boulder AI was used in downtown Denver at a major sports and concert center to manage traffic and pedestrian flow before and after large events. This allowed the City to react in real-time and manage traffic during the most congested times.
Denver is currently growing at a rate of 1.22% annually and its population has increased by 22.32% since the 2010 census, which recorded a population of 600,158. Spanning over 155 miles, Denver has a population density of 4,789 people per square mile and the city faces the challenge of moving more people faster on an aging infrastructure with a decreased financial capability due partly to the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic impact on taxes.
Boulder AI’s deep learning camera systems and software is used to inform operations, make planning choices, and automate routine actions. Their technology allows data processing to be done inside the camera which does not require the costly combination of broadband connections, servers, and on-site data storage, making Boulder AI much less expensive and easier to maintain compared to current non-edge options. Utilizing the latest in computing technologies and deep neural networks at the edge to enable AI algorithms, users may leverage any number of Cloud Services in an end-to-end solution.

Understanding ADAS Calibration Methods
In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, few technologies are as pivotal to vehicle safety and functionality as Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). In a 2019 survey, 57 percent reported that at least one ADAS feature helped avoid a crash.
ADAS rely on sensors and cameras to monitor your vehicle’s surroundings, provide data to assist the driver by taking action to prevent collisions. As a result, system calibration is crucial to the functionality of safety systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and many others.
Read on to understand the necessity behind ADAS calibration and its methods.
What is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS Calibration is the method by which technicians calibrate various system components — one of these critical components, such as safety sensors and cameras are mounted on or located inside the windshield — to ensure that all systems of the vehicle operate with the utmost accuracy and perfect alignment. Proper calibration enables the functionality and reliability of all safety and driver-assistive features, which are vital to helping prevent accidents.
The Importance of ADAS Calibration
ADAS calibration after windshield replacement is a matter of safety for drivers and their passengers. These components have an unobstructed line of sight and are positioned to provide accurate and comprehensive data. This is why our windshield ADAS calibration technicians come highly recommended.
Understanding ADAS Calibration Methods
ADAS Calibration Methods
There are three general types of ADAS calibration methods. Static Calibration Dynamic Calibration Combination (Both static and dynamic)
Static calibrations require special scan tools and targets that are used in a controlled environment while the vehicle is stationary. The calibration environment must meet several requirements, such as:
- It must be a controlled environment in compliance with OE guidelines.
- The floor must be level.
- Surroundings around the vehicle must be un- obstructed.
- Lighting must be uniform.
- Area around the vehicle needs to offer no interference with camera view or projection.
Static ADAS calibration tools include:
- Proper vehicle scan tool
- OE approved targets
- Proper measuring equipment
Static ADAS calibration is often the first, if not the only, calibration performed after a windshield or ADAS component replacement since it sets the baseline for the system’s accuracy. When applicable, technicians may also need to perform a dynamic calibration after a static calibration session.
Dynamic calibration involves calibrating ADAS components while the vehicle is in motion. The calibration environment mimics the conditions under which the systems are designed to operate. Some of these conditions include:
- Driving at designated speeds.
- Following a vehicle. Specific number of vehicles
- Driving on clearly marked roads. [h3] ADAS Components
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems are complex and comprised of several sophisticated components located throughout the vehicle. Driver assistance features require real-time data to account for varying road conditions and to determine how best to assist the driver. Some ADAS components include:
- Steering Angle Sensors
- Front-Facing Camera Sensors
- Forward Radar Sensors
- Rear Radar Sensors
How Long Does ADAS Calibration Take?
ADAS calibration is dependent on numerous factors, including a vehicle’s year, make and model and weather conditions. See additional factors below:
- The number of components to calibrate
- Vehicle manufacturer complexity associated with the ADAS calibration needed
- Availability of well-marked roadway
- Vehicle condition
- Rain or snow
When an ADAS-equipped windshield is replaced in an ADAS equipped vehicle, a calibration needs to occur at the time of windshield replacement.
The Cost of ADAS Calibration
If you’re going to pay out of pocket for your vehicle’s windshield replacement ensure that the cost of the calibration is included in the price. Fortunately, many full-coverage insurance plans cover the replacement and calibration of your windshield. Additionally, Caliber Auto Glass works with major insurance companies across the nation.
ADAS components are crucial to vehicle safety because they gather the real-time data required by your vehicle’s safety systems to function correctly. Proper calibration helps ensure that your safety and driver-assistive systems work when you need them most.
As with all things related to safety, it’s always best to work with reputable professionals with the training, expertise, and equipment to properly perform calibrations. For any windshield replacement ADAS calibration needs, reach out to Caliber Auto Glass today, and let us take care of your vehicle.


LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A "magical" chess game that moves the pieces by itself is being shown at the CES Technology show in Las Vegas.
Source: MGN Online
The "Square Off" board connects to the internet and lets people play remotely, but still uses a real board and pieces.
It looks like something straight out of the Harry Potter books.
Bhavya Gohil moves his chess piece on the board. No one sits on his opposite side and the pieces appear to move by themselves.
This is the Square Off chess board, made by Indian start-up InfiVention Technologies.
The board moves the pieces by using magnetics. And it connects to a smartphone and app via Bluetooth.
"So, right now I'm playing against Adam who is sitting in the UK," explains Bhavya Gohil, CEO of InfiVention Technologies.
"He just gave me a check. So, now I will respond to his move."
The company is currently running a crowdfunding campaign and hopes to be able to ship the first games this year.
Once it becomes available on the mass market it will cost about 300 US Dollars.
"We always say that it's an experience, it's always a better experience than just playing on an app, rather than you know, your 3D world," says Gohil.

Aim and Topics
Various textures perceived through the five senses are used in our decision making and executions. Our level of understanding and methodology differ in each of the five senses. Researches in visual-texture perception are said to be the most developed among all. However, the neural mechanism of visual-texture perception remains unclear for the most part. Thus, there is no established way to reproduce the mechanism with artificial intelligence.
In the field of tactile-texture perception research, where tactile has been considered to be primitive compared to vision, technologies to display tactile sensation using artificial intelligent are awaited. Various of problems are making them difficult to be realized: Auditory-texture perception caused by complex signal modulation, Taste-texture perception inseparable from visual sense and sense of smell, and elucidation of the relationship of
higher-order sensitivity processing in brain. Approaches based on statistical machine learning represented by ‘deep-learning’ which has been remarkably developed in recent years are being applied to understand the overview of the brain that constitutes the texture perception network. These attempts are mainly focused on visual-texture aspects and few are reported related to tactile-texture so far.
This WS is to be an opportunity to share the progress of research and to share methodology by researchers studying the five senses. The scope of this WS shall be: (1) research of science and engineering related to value judgements made through the five senses, such as image processing, tactile engineering, acoustics, machine learning, sensitivity engineering, and natural language processing (2) research of biological systems, psychophysical, and neuroscience. We would like to discuss the scientific understanding of texture information processing and the possibility of developing new artificial intelligence research.

This endeavor is the ultimate proof of concept for both our Storm Wave electrical motorcycle and electric mobility as a whole. By involving individuals and organizations to recharge our batteries we share the experience of electric mobility with the world. All the involved parties together form the STORM GRID: a worldwide network of plug-in locations. The clock has started ticking down from 80 days 14 August 2016.”
World’s first electric touring motorbike
They developed two electrical motorbikes – named the Storm Wave electric motorcycle – from scratch with unique removable batteries. Each motorbike contains 24 batteries that give the vehicle a 380 km range on one charge, much further than existing electrical motorbikes. Once emptied they simply replace the batteries with new fully charged ones and continue driving. In this way their motorbikes have a daily range of 600km making them a real electrical touring badboy.
The bike has 48 hp and a torque of 120 NM.
“The great thing about an electric motor is that he immediately accelerates when you put your foot on the pedal. It also provides less noise and less vibration, which makes driving more comfortable, “said Wilco one of the Storm team members. The comfort was further improved by incorporating a special Hossack front suspension that transmits less vibration in the steering wheel.
Unique honeycomb battery structure
The STORM tourer has a strong and unique design. To get a range of 380 kilometers a lot of batteries would have to be built in the bike. But where do you put them?
In an electrical car you have space to hide them in the floor like Tesla did. But where do you hide a huge battery pack in a motorcycle?
Wilco explains how they solved it. “The bike has a modular battery pack. Thus, you can choose to use the full capacity for a ride, or a part thereof. The modular battery, shaped prominent in a honeycomb pattern in the body of the motorcycle, is divided into 24 cartridges, which you can pick out individually. If you are going to take a long trip, you put them all in there but for short trips you can just use the minimum quantity of 12 cartridges hence traveling lighter.
Electric motorbike with gears & IoT
What is also striking about the bike is that – unlike electric cars – it has two gears. One gear to accelerate and one gear to drive efficiently on high/cruising speed for example on the highway.
The Storm team developed the gears inhouse (or in-university) from scratch while the other standard components like brakes and tires were sourced from existing manufacturers.
On top of that they used the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technology which allowed them to monitor every part of the Storm Wave motorbikes in real time on their computer dashboard. Among other things the battery packs contained sensors displaying the temperature, current and voltage of every independent cell. This made it possible to observe the functioning of a particular battery or a combination of batteries. Along with real-time insights from numerous other components, it enabled the dashboard to report and predict which parts of the motor functioned well and which parts urgently needed to be replaced.
They even build an app so followers of the electric motorbike world trip could get real-time updates on every aspect of the trip. This amazing monitoring capability resulted in some awesome data figures about the entire journey.
Around the world in 80 days on electric motorbikes
After they had developed the bikes the students were looking for a challenge to proof that their electrical bikes could ride under extreme and demanding circumstances. Something that would leave a lasting mark and raise awareness for clean technologies and electric driving.
The first trip around the world powered by battery technology had already been made years before by the Solartaxi. So they knew they needed a more daunting challenge…
And – like many kickasstrips before – here Jules Verne’s travel classic ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ served once again as great inspiration. A modern electric motorbike trip around the world in 80 days was born…
To achieve this ambitious goal the students needed to drive for 80 days straight. Through 18 countries. And for 23,000km Eastwards.
Storm Electric Motobikes RTW trip departure
On the 14th of August 2016 the Storm electrical motorcycles started their ambitious ride around the world in 80 days from the Eindhoven University campus.
The team was off to a not so auspicious start as the electric motorbike broke down on the highway before Vienna. The problem – a broken power inverter – was quickly diagnosed and solved and – with a day delay – the team continued driving eastwards across Europe and into Asia.
In Iran the team had to deal with extreme heat, poor roads and chaotic traffic which resulted in the Storm bike crashing in a local taxi. Fortunately the taxi was more damaged than the motorbike and the team was able to continue their journey towards Uzbekistan. Their arrival there coincided with the death of President Islam Karimov. Because of the proclaimed national mourning all planned events were cancelled and the students were forced to leave the country quickly.
Crossing the raw beauty of Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and into China they made good progress using local electrical power everywhere. Everywhere they were welcomed at local universities and loads of media coverage.
Then they shipped all their gear across the Pacific to the USA where they continued their trip across the USA to New York before going back to Europe.
Along the way the team posted daily video updates on their youtube channel which you can find here.
One of the trip’s absolute highlights was a photo shoot with the Storm Wave bike on Times Square including their own Storm Wave billboard over there. Find that video update (with English subtitles) here:
Completion of electric motorbike trip around the world in 80 days
Then On November 2, STORM drove the last 400 km from Paris to Eindhoven and so completed its 80-day World Tour with their self-developed electric motorcycle. With a great event at the TU Eindhoven Campus, STORM was welcomed home.
Along the way the team had gathered 17,001 MB of data with the help of their revolutionary IoT integration. It resulted in some stunning and fun facts about the journey:
The team had driven through 17 countries, visited 65 cities covering a total of close to 21,000 km.
They had used the bike’s left blinker 925 times while the right blinker had been used 1,033 times.
The front brake had been used 1,095 times, the back-brake a bit more: 3,001 times.
During the trip they changed the batteries 74 times.
Lucky for them 54% of the journey was sunny, 40% cloudy and only in 6% of their trip did they encounter rain.
All in all a fantastic kickasstrip.

How to Choose Rear-view Camera and How to Install it ?
Posted On May 30, 2018
A rear-view camera is also called a back-up or reversing camera. This is because it is specifically installed to the rear of the car to help reverse or park or to avoid collision with a person or animal. A display screen is installed in the front, near the dashboard, so that it is easier for the driver to look at. Such a camera sports fish-eye lenses or wide-angled lenses. This helps cover as much ground as possible.
Rear-view cameras are produced in different varieties depending on the type of vehicle. There are cameras which can be installed on the number plate, cameras with a built-in audio invoice to communicate with an outsider to step aside, cameras with built-in servomechanisms so that it is easier for the driver to tilt and move around the camera for a better view, custom cameras like the Hummer H2, etc.
Rear-view cameras are either wired or wireless. The wired camera has to be wired inside the car whereas the wireless camera requires a wireless signal transmitter and receiver. The wired rear-view camera is much preferred.
When choosing a rear-view camera, there are certain aspects that you should keep in mind:
- Camera chips. There are mainly 2 types of chips installed in rear-view cameras, a CCD or CMOS. A CMOS chip is much cheaper and it consumes less power. However, it has a low picture quality and needs extra light sources. A CCD chip is a high-quality chip which is used in cameras used for photography. CCD chip is expensive but performs much better.
- The more the definition, the higher the chance of a good quality image. In rear-view cameras a number of lines is given to give you an idea of the definition for example, 420 lines or 520 lines. The higher the lines, the better.
- Night vision. Such cameras have infra-red lighting installed otherwise it would show nothing but darkness and blurry figures
- Getting a waterproof camera extends its life.
- Shock and dust proof. It is a basic requirement for all rear-view cameras to be shock & dust proof.
Here’s how to install a rear-view camera.
Firstly, remove the cable for the power supply from the battery and put it away from the electrode to prevent it from powering the car.
Secondly, determine the position you want to place your rear-view camera. One example on which position to install your camera is to install it on the license plate light because it is easier. Use the accessories package provided with the camera to do so as it contains all the material to help you install it. The camera’s cable passes through the license plate light holder and connects with the reversing power supply and video cable. It has a hidden appearance.
Thirdly, connect the camera’s wires to the light power cord, connect the camera’s video cable to the video extension and the video extension cable to be connected to the AV port.
Finally, restore the battery power supply and power up your car.

|I have been trying to design a cheap home-made SWR meter, for a Radio Rampage project. It is not working out, so this is a call for help to any readers who have knowledge of these things. I have tried several different iterations of the heart of the SWR meter, the directional coupler.|
The problem I have been having is that the forward and reverse power signals are not accurately representing forward and reverse power. In particular, reverse-coupled energy is much higher than actual reverse power.
The project started with analysis of my Revex UHF SWR meter connected to my antenna, driven by 4 watts from an Icom IC-400PRO. Indicated SWR was 1.1:1. The meter's directional coupler output was 634mV from the forward port, and 53mV from the reverse port. Values were as expected.
The first iteration (no picture available) was an aluminium tube 100mm long with SO-239 connectors at each end and brass rod centre conductor. Impedance was correctly calculated as per D/d. Sense loops were 1mm copper wire spaced equidistant between centre conductor and inner wall, with air dielectric. Rectification was 1N5711 with 1nF, 50R resistor at the opposite end. Components transverse on the opposite side as per directional coupler convention.
Iteration 1 was connected to the same antenna and radio. Output from the forward port was around 900mV, output from the reverse port was unexpected at 350mV. After verifying mathematics and construction, I decided that the design was faulty. Leading me to create a different design.
I have seen many directional couplers incorporated into radios, in order to sense bad SWR, so my next iteration was to copy that design. The second iteration (no picture available) was a stripline directional coupler made on a piece of double-sided PCB, with SMA connectors at each end. Source of mathematics I no longer recall, but rectification was the same as iteration 1, but this time using 5GHz diodes. Results were nearly the same as iteration 1, output voltage from the forward port was 414mV (shorter coupler), and voltage from the reverse port was 198mV. Once again, reverse voltage was much higher than expected, almost half the forward voltage.
|The third iteration was a design from an amateur radio magazine. The design involved shaving the two sides of a piece of rigid coax to expose the dielectric, and soldering two more pieces of coax similarly shaved against the sides of the first.|
Rectification was was with HSMP3892 SHF diodes with 1nF filtering, and 50R resistor at the other end. Transverse on the opposite side.
Once again, forward port output was a reasonable value at 864mV, and reverse port output was unexpected at 316mV. Again almost half the forward port output.
I decided that the design, or my construction, was faulty. In any event, this design was too hard for the home constructor.
|The fourth design came from an amateur radio website. The design involves threading a wire under the braid of a piece of RG-213 coax. It seemed simple enough for the home constructor. The first version of this iteration was 120mm long, with the sense loops about 80mm long.|
It was also a failure in that the reverse port output was about 40% to 45% of forward port output.
I consulted an RF engineer who designs mobile telephone base stations for a living, but as directional couplers are not commonly used in this industry, he could not help me except to ask - 'aren't they supposed to be a quarter-wavelength long?'. I am sure that is not required, but I rebuilt it a quarter-wavelength long, as shown in this picture, just to see if it did matter. Unfortunately I was not thinking, and made it a physical quarter-wavelength long, instead of an electrcal quarter-wavelength, so the port output voltages are are transposed. It didn't matter anyway, the voltages were as per previous iterations.
|I then noticed that the website version of this iteration was enclosed in a metal box, so I again rebuilt it, into a cast aluminium box as shown in this picture.|
A trimcap, 2-40pF, was added from the sense loop output to ground, before the rectifier, as I have seen in some commercial SWR meters. It did not make any significant difference to the results.
This iteration has a forward port output of 413mV, and a reverse port output of 181mV.
With the Revex meter in the transmission line with the experimental directional coupler, the Revex reads slightly higher at 1.15:1 as opposed to 1.1:1 without the experimental directional coupler in line. This is as expected, and indicates that the directional coupler does not have a serious impedance anomaly.
|I have no idea why I am getting such a high reverse power reading. If you know this stuff and you know what is wrong, please contact me via the contact page, it will be much appreciated. |
Please, no 'have you tried this' suggestions, I will ignore them. Either you know what's wrong or you don't. Thanks.

The Nickel amplifier is designed to provide nearly-unlimited clean power for nearly every headphone in an extremely compact and portable package. All mechanical and electrical design efforts, including layout of the 4 layer SMT board, was completed in-house with full custom tooling for all parts. Nickel uses the same rugged polycarbonate featured in our IEMs. Nickel is made in the USA. The Nickel amplifier is capable of producing high levels of power. Nickel will supply 150 mW into 50 Ohms, 250 mW into 32 Ohms, and 270 mW into 16 Ohms. Nickel is stable into an 8 Ohm load making it ideal for nearly any headphone on the market. A fixed 3 dB of gain allows higher headroom than most phones and DACs can generate, but is low enough to maintain nearly the full dynamic range of volume from any source. The Nickel amplifier uses a two-stage power supply system. A dedicated battery charger is used to keep the 220 mAh battery charged and conditioned. The battery feeds a dedicated dual-voltage converter which generates dedicated ±5V analog power rails. With this topology USB switching noise is virtually eliminated and the listening experience is not compromised, even when charging the battery. The Nickel amplifier includes our patent-pending SmartSwitch™ system. Nickel has no on/off switch. Rather, Nickel uses its internal MCU to sense the presence of the input and output connectors. Only when both connectors are occupied will Nickel turn itself on. Once turned on, battery level is constantly displayed on the integrated LED light pipe and will change from green to yellow to red as the battery charge drops. Turning off Nickel is as easy as simply unplugging either the source or the headphones.


Recent papers, Episode 5
It's a trap!
Recently, I was involved in two related papers:
Lopsided dust rings in transition disks
T. Birnstiel, C. P. Dullemond, P. Pinilla, A&A (2013) vol. 550, L8
A Major Asymmetric Dust Trap in a Transition Disk
N. van der Marel et al. Science (2013) vol. 340, 1199-1202
In the first one, we proposed that the rings seen in transition disks can easily become asymmetric: only a small asymmetry of the gas bump is enough to trigger a strong accumulation of dust particles.
Right around the time we were finishing up this paper, we were contacted by some colleagues who had just gotten their latest data from the ALMA observatory. They wanted to investigate the gas structure of the disk, but then they found a much more interesting and surprising feature in the dust which they had not expected: instead of a symmetric dust ring, they saw an extremely asymmetric structure, just like we predicted. We joined them in interpreting the data and the paper was published in the journal Science.
You can read more about it in the press releases from NRAO or ESO, or in German from the University of Heidelberg. It was also covered in an ESOCast - the video can be found here.


Mars InSight lander of NASA has been doing great on Mars. It landed in November and since then has captured amazing landscapes, installed a seismometer, and released a burrowing heat probe called the “mole.” All was fine until the mole got trapped in February under the surface.
The US space agency and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), who developed the heat probe (also called the HP3, or Heat and Physical Properties Package), have surfaced with an initial strategy to assist in resolving the obscurity of why the mole is not stirring. DLR and NASA both released updates on the assignment recently. One big query is whether the mole knocked a single rock or ran into a gravel layer. Also, there is some issue with the probe itself or its cable can be suspended up on something with the housing that is meant to guard it.
The mole functions by striking down into the ground to gauge the heat coming from the Mars’ interior. Now, later this month, the InSight team intends to perform a hammering test for up to 15 Min. The seismometer of the lander will snoop to the mole and expectantly obtain hints regarding what hindered its movement. If the InSight team can resolve the mystery of what is hiding there within Mars’ surface, it might be capable of restarting the mole’s assignment to discover the concealed inner life of Mars.
Likewise, an amazing new picture of Mars’ surface has been released recently by the Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter of European Space Agency. It displayed more than the typical desert picture. The image apparently displayed a “hairy blue spider” that appeared like it was extending its legs across the Red Planet’s surface. The image is, in fact, a color-composite picture of what ESA has dubbed “dust devil frenzy.”

Advanced SNMP Trap Handling
How to Select an SNMP Trap Management System
Here's a handy checklist of essential features you should look for in SNMP trap management. Print this checklist out and use it to rate the SNMP trap managers you're evaluating. If an SNMP trap manager can't meet these basic requirements, cross it off your list.
- Complete Alarm collection and device management: Don't settle for a limited SNMP trap management system. Get multi protocol support for every monitoring device in your network in addition to SNMP.
- Alarm presentation and notification: Send detailed alarm descriptions and correction instructions to NOC and field techs via SMS (Mobile phone) notifications and emails. SMS and e-mail notifications let your field techs respond to alarms while they're still in the field, speeding repairs and reducing windshield time. Look for an SNMP trap manager system with SMS support, which can send detailed alarm notifications to alpha pagers, cell phones, and PDAs.
- Alarm sorting and analysis: Make sense of alarm cascades with automatic intelligent alarm sorting, filtering and processing.
- Maintain a list of standing alarms:
SNMP trap management must maintain a list of standing alarms and not just log newly reported or acknowledged traps. Imagine what would happen to your network if a system operator acknowledged an alarm, and then failed to correct the alarm condition. Who would know the alarm was still standing? No one!
- Detailed, precise alarm descriptions:
SNMP alarm monitoring systems should record the time, location, severity, and a precise description of alarm events
- Nuisance alarm filtering: Even the best NOC staff stops taking alarms seriously if they're bombarded with status alerts, oscillating conditions, and unimportant alarms. Look for an SNMP trap manager system that filters these out.
- Alarm sorting: A large, complex network can create a cascade of alarms. Some are unimportant, but others are critical. Look for an SNMP trap manager system that can automatically sort and prioritize this flood of information for you.
- Alarm correction instructions: Detailed instructions included in alarm notifications ensure that system operators, without extra training, will know precisely what to do and who to call if an alarm happens.
NetDecision TrapVision is capable of receiving the traps, interpreting them, and displaying notification messages in a graphical display. The people at the management center viewing the display are then alerted to the problem.
Due to its unique trap handling capability, TrapVision is an ideal tool for the first-stage handling of the SNMP trap traffic. TrapVision can manage SNMP traps at remote sites, forwarding only the important traps to the high-level management console application, possibly minimizing the traffic. Read more...

It improves the readability of the display in direct sunlight by dramatically reducing reflections which occur at each air / glass interface. By using an adhesive gel with the same refractive index as the glass it effectively forms a no -reflective layer above the display. It also prevents the entry of moisture and the subsequent formation of condensation between panel and glass.


Weather radar is an aviation and meteorological instrument used to detect and measure precipitation and atmospheric motion over a wide area. The operational process of weather radar involves the following steps:
1. Transmission of Radio Waves: The radar sends out radio waves into the desired area for observation. The transmitted signals typically have high frequencies to enable the detection of small particles.
2. Pulsed Signals: The radar emits pulses of signals with varying lengths, allowing the measurement of distances. The time taken for the transmitted signal to travel to a target and back is used to calculate the distance.
3. Reception of Return Signals: When the transmitted radio waves encounter objects or atmospheric conditions that cause reflection, the radar receives these signals back.
4. Intensity Measurement: The radar measures the intensity of the received signals, providing information about the amount of precipitation or the characteristics of the passing weather.
5. Data Analysis:The received data is analyzed to create a representation of the location and quantity of the observed precipitation.
6. Display of Results: The analyzed results are displayed in the form of radar images, indicating the intensity of rainfall and the movement of the weather.
Weather radar plays a crucial role in weather forecasting, water resource management, and aviation safety. The information obtained from radar systems aids in making decisions related to flight operations, flood forecasting, and continuous tracking of storms. The data from weather radar systems contribute to real-time assessments of weather conditions and enhance our ability to respond to changing atmospheric phenomena.

Busted! Don’t believe these solar power myths in Canada!
Solar power is an unlimited renewable energy source that is extremely beneficial for the environment and the economy. Unlike other energy sources, it doesn’t require any external supply to work and is virtually maintenance-free.
The sun goes up every day and there is no need for bright sunshine, as long as we can see our shadow, solar energy will be produced and solar powered equipment can be deployed almost everywhere. While solar energy has several benefits, it has been widely criticized for being expensive or inefficient. These misconceptions and misinterpretations can make consumers feel a bit skeptical about using solar-powered equipment.
To help you steer clear of these misconceptions, H2O Logics Inc. has debunked three of the most widely believed solar power myths in Canada.
Myth 1: Solar in Canada doesn’t work because there is too much snow
Not true! Snow has an overall insignificant effect on solar energy production. If a foot of snow covers the solar panels they will not produce energy but only for a very short amount of time. The dark silicone cells on the panels are designed to absorb heat, meaning once a portion of the panel is exposed to the sun, heat will spread throughout and melt the snow. It has also been shown that the sun can penetrate through 2 inches of snow and warm up the cells thus melting the snow. And last but not least solar panels are always installed at an angle and snow will quickly slide off, with the added bonus of cleaning the panels!
Most solar irradiance is in spring, summer and fall and on an annual basis the number of hours solar panels are covered with snow is minimal. On systems like our solar powered pond and lake aeration equipment the battery backup will compensate for the module’s snow coverage time which is usually very minimal.
Myth 2: It’s too cold for solar panels in Canada to work
Again not true! Solar panels operate more efficiently in cold weather. The reason is cold temperature increases the efficiency of electrical current transmission throughout all electrical devices by reducing the resistance of the wiring. So cold weather is actually extremely beneficial for solar energy systems. Similar to how a computer has a cooling fan to prevent the hardware from overheating, cooler temperatures allow the solar modules to produce more power!
Myth 3: Solar energy is too intermittent to be viable
Solar intermittency is overcome by using energy storage devices. Solar batteries are used to address the intermittency concern of photovoltaics and store the energy produced during the day allowing equipment to continue running even during night time.
If you’re looking to steer clear of more myths like these, reach out to H2O Logics Inc. We are Canada’s lake, pond, water treatment, and management company. We have been serving Canadians coast-to-coast and clients beyond our Canadian border for over twenty years.

On page 36 of Dangerous Voyage to Alpha Centauri a scientist developed his findings on the applications of fusion energy saying:
“By magnetic forces these ions are focused to the fusion reactor and produce energy in abundance. Some of the energy will be used for the ion-thrusters to propel the spaceship. Some of it is needed to recycle all products of Dr. Turner’s ecosystem.”
What are the facts of energy production on fusion today?
As described in Solar Power Satellites our Sun and all other stars produce energy mainly by fusing hydrogen to helium.
In the core of our Sun at temperatures of ten to fifteen million Kelvin, the electron of each hydrogen atom is stripped off. Left in the core of the Sun are hydrogen nuclei. All matter composed solely of nuclei at high temperatures we call plasma. The charged particles in the plasma are protons. They repel each other as they are equally charged.
In the Sun’s core next to high temperatures there is a huge pressure due to the gravitational forces of our massive Sun. High pressure in the Sun’s center means that the protons get close to each other.
At temperatures of about fifteen million Kelvin the protons possess a very high speed. It allows a proton to surmount the repelling electrical forces of another proton. When they crash into each other another force comes into action which makes the protons stick together. We do not know this force in every day life. It exists only at extremely small distances as between protons and neutrons. This force is called Strong Force. Indeed, it is mightier than the repelling electrical force and allows two positive charged protons to stay together.
This nucleus with two protons (and two neutrons which carry no charge) is a helium nucleus. In the process of fusing a little bit of mass of protons and neutrons is changed into energy according to Einstein’s famous equation: E = m times c2, called fusion energy.
On Earth we hope to solve our energy problem imitating the Sun to produce energy by fusing. It is no problem at all for us to give protons the speed they have in the center of the Sun. Any x-ray tube can achieve that.
A real problem to master fusion is to establish pressures as high as within the Sun. We just cannot gain these pressures here on Earth. But there is a way to overcome this disadvantage: We just care for higher temperatures, say, several hundred millions Kelvin instead of poor 15 million Kelvin. We could accelerate hydrogen ions by electrical forces as in x-ray tubes until they have speeds representing temperatures of some hundred million Kelvin.
You can imagine that it has no sense to fuse particles on a mile-long line. Rather you will agree to let a certain number of fusion processes occur continuously in a small area.
We succeed in harnessing superfast ions in a rather small area by magnetic forces. Thereafter fusion energy can be converted into electrical energy as any other energy gained by combustion in a power station.
As I said, it is a minor problem to speed up nuclei to gain high temperatures. Some hundred million Kelvin we are able to obtain by using high electrical currents, additional neutral particles, and high-energetic microwaves. This will help to gain plasma which can be compared to that one in the Sun’s core.
Another idea will help to bring the fire of the Sun to Earth. Instead of protons we will use hydrogen-isotopes so-called heavy hydrogen. One kind of this heavy hydrogen is deuterium, of which each nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron. Using these ions means that temperatures around 200 million Kelvin are sufficient to cause fusion instead of extreme 500 million Kelvin.
Much more complicated than heating up the nuclei for fusing is to keep the plasma in a small and fixed area. In the 1950s the Russians Igor Tamm and famous dissident Andrei Sakharov proposed to confine plasma in a magnetic cage. The name of this cage, toriodal chamber in magnetic coils, abbreviated Tokamak, is still in use today.
All tokamaks in the world are still working on a research level. Scientists are still trying to bring the Sun to Earth. Some of the most promising tokamaks are:
JET in Culham, England, where fusion is studied since 1978;
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at Princeton, from 1982 to 1997, which gained plasma temperatures of 510 million Kelvin;
JT 60 at Naka, Japan since 1985, where 520 million K were received;
DIII-D tokamak at San Diego;
Tokamak ITER at Cadarache, France, is being built since 2006. This tokamak is supposed to operate after 10 years of construction. ITER is by far the most challenging project in fusion with a tokamak worldwide. It is designed by scientists at Naka, Japan and Garching, Germany. Participants in this expensive and challenging project are the European Union, Japan, Russia, Korea and Canada. After the US-Congress voted to leave the planning-stage, the US returned again as a participant of ITER in 2003.
One important characteristic of all tokamaks is the use of a transformer to speed up the particles of the plasma. The electrons in the plasma are used as the transformer’s second coil. But this current reaches its optimum only in the short time when the current in the first coil of the transformer is rising. Thus fusion in a tokamak could only be observed periodically. To gain energy not continuously but in pulses seems to be quite uneconomical. Additional means to avoid disruptions of the fusion were searched for, and won!
Already in the 1950s the US scientist Lyman Spitzer proposed the confinement of plasma without a transformer and thus without a pulsing fusion. Spitzer used a magnetic cage for the plasma which should be perceived solely by an elaborated system of magnetic coils. He called this fusion facility stellarator. To realize his ideas the Project Matterhorn was founded. Years later this project was re-named to Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).
To research fusion in a stellarator the Large Helical Device (LHD) is operating in Japan. Another stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X, is under construction in Germany. This one is supposed to be operating in 2010.
In the US the construction of a compact stellarator is planned at Princeton in partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) is the centerpiece of the U.S. effort to develop plasma physics and to determine the attractiveness of the stellarator as the basis for a fusion power reactor. First plasma is scheduled for July 2009.
