dealt with by something as simple as a wireless network.
new system developed by researchers at the University of Utah targets
the leading cause of injury-related death among people 65 and
older—falls. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
one in three older adults falls each year. In 2010, this accounted for
2.3 million visits to emergency rooms and $30 billion in medical costs.

the University of Utah. “It makes sense to deploy some inexpensive
sensors that can detect falls and call for help if the person can’t

deployed these small, low-cost radio-frequency (RF) sensors around a
room at two different heights. This enabled them to determine whether a
person in the room was falling.
Unlike other systems that detect
falls, the RF sensor network doesn’t require people to wear a device,
such as the familiar medical alert buttons used by many elderly people.
people who own one of those emergency call buttons or fall sensors
aren’t wearing them at the time of their fall,” says Patwari, “so they
are not particularly useful.”
In addition, the RF sensor network
is more respectful of privacy because it can detect only the location of objects larger
than six inches. Fall detection systems that rely on video surveillance,
on the other hand, can make people feel uncomfortable because they take
continuous and detailed recordings.

person stands in a room, his or her body alters the strength and path
of the wireless signals as they pass from one sensor to another.

meaning the system can “see through” most obstructions. The sensors can
also be hidden behind walls or inside other objects.
information gathered from the wireless network can be used to pinpoint
the location of a person in the room. In essence, the researchers are
able to take many one-dimensional measurements between the sensors and

that’s called “radio tomography.”

By placing the sensors at two levels, they are also able to determine if a person is standing, sitting, or lying on the floor.
thought that if we put sensors at different heights, it might be
possible to locate someone with the same accuracy in three dimensions,
and then potentially detect a fall,” says Patwari. “That is, we might
have the potential, with our radio tomography technologies, to detect
falls without requiring the person to wear anything.”
image of the person appears as five separate layers. Falls are detected,
then, by seeing how each layer changes over time. For example, a person
falling would quickly disappear from the top layer, followed by taking
up more space in the bottom layer.
The researchers conducted
experiments to train the system to identify different movements within
the space—falling, sitting down, and lying down on the floor.
Detecting More Than Just Falls
system, which was presented Sept. 10 at a meeting of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is still in the early stages.
Patwari hopes to develop it into a commercial product through his
start-up company, Xandem Technology.
In addition to alerting
caregivers or emergency services if an elderly person falls, the system
could also be tied into a larger home sensing system that tracks the overall health of those living there.
same RF sensors deployed for fall sensing can simultaneously be used
for room-level tracking and breathing rate monitoring, as we have
demonstrated in past work,” says Patwari.

The crazy, chaotic and exciting Consumer Electronics Show is here and walking through the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, one thing is very clear: display technology is changing faster and more furiously than you can imagine.
There are lots of things to notice and appreciate about CES but you’d have to be blind to miss the proliferation of incredible new TV screens. Here’s a short list of some of the most impressive models I’ve seen over the past few days.
Sony Bravia X900C
This gigantic 65-inch display is only, gulp, 4.9 millimeters thick. Yes, I didn’t make that up, this screen is thinner than an iPhone 6. From the front it’s big, sharp, and beautiful, and from the side you can barely see it. It has eight million pixels to work with, so despite its narrow profile, it boasts sharper contrast, clearer blues and greens, and a more vivid picture than its 4K brethren. It won’t be available until spring and while the prices hasn’t yet been set, expect to pay a pretty penny for this svelte screen.
Samsung’s 110-Inch 8K Glassesless 3DTV
This year Samsung is showing off this huge 110-inch monster. By far the biggest crowd at Samsung’s booth was there for a huge 110-inch TV that not only showcased 8K resolution, but also 3D display technology that doesn’t require 3D glasses. With 16 times the pixels of home HD TV’s. this is television on a whole new level. This thing has somewhere in the ballpark of 16 million pixels and they’re virtually unseeable. Also from Samsung is a new wave in display technology where screens are outfitted with transparent OLED screens. Super cool.
LG Quantum Dot
Another entrant in the giant, skinny and beautiful television competition is the LG 65-inch UF9400 Quantum Dot 4K. This TV is fundamentally an LCD panel — the same technology currently found in living rooms around the world — but it incorporates a layer of quantum dots, which are extraordinarily small — as tiny as 20 atoms thick — also called “nanocrystals.” The size of these crystals determines the color of a pixel and it can be controlled precisely. The result is unprecedented color reproduction, as much as 30% better than regular LCDs. Quantum dots are part of LG’s proprietary technology, which also boasts improved color at off-angle viewing; a common issue with many LCD sets. This is another stunner of a set and once again is as yet unpriced.
It’s a Curved World
If 3D TV’s were a big deal in previous years, this year it’s all about the curve. Samsung’s curved models inspired a new all-in-one PC with a curved display, and Hewlett-Packard and Dell announced new 34-inch curved displays. At first, the monitors seem like regular flat LCD panels. The slight curvature is noticeable only after closer inspection, but having the screen closer to the eyes undoubtedly provides a more intimate viewing experience. Lots of people expect to see only curved screens in the workstation of the future. The Hisense 4K curved screen had the sharpest picture quality of any TV I saw at the show. It’s not available in US yet but it offers a truly stunning image.
Sharp’s New 8k, um, 4k TV
4K TVs are no longer the hottest thing on the block so manufacturers are bending over backward to show you that their sets are somehow more 4K than everyone else’s. Is it possible for even more “k”? Check out Sharp’s newly unveiled 2015 lineup, the 80-inch AQUOS Beyond 4K Ultra HD TV. Its effectively cuts pixels in half vertically and lets subpixels create their own color values, leading to a near-8K (7,680 x 4,320) picture. Sharp is only making this technology available in an 80-inch screen. Pricing was not announced but there’s no way on earth it will be affordable to the masses.
Sharp’s Transparent Screen
Sharp’s new see-through display technology has remarkable implications for display marketing. In the video above the bottles of wine are actually behind the screen, not on it. It’s not hard to imagine how retail windows or simply “blank” walls could utilize this technology to influence point of purchase decisions offer discounting and personalize greetings. Who knew that the future would be invisible?


With the measurement app, ViSoft Smart, planning and consulting begin on the building site. The app, which was originally developed for use on a tablet, but which also works on a smartphone (Android/iOS), enables you to take all the room measurements you need.
The current version of the app has an interface with the following laser measurement devices: “Leica Disto”, “Bosch GLM 50/100” and “Umarex Distancemaster”. The measurements are transmitted to the app via Bluetooth. The plans that are created can be viewed in 2D and 3D, and processed further in ViSoft Premium. This planning serves as a basis for discussion of the first design ideas, because tiles and sanitary ware can be planned and switched easily on a small scale.

Everyone has experienced how difficult it can be to carry out a phone conversation in a noisy situation. For hearing instrument wearers, using the phone can be very challenging even in quiet situations and impossible in the presence of any background noise. While the ability to use the phone may seem of secondary importance, phone use is an important communication medium to which everyone should have access. In fact, phone use has been linked to self-reported quality of life.
Numerous factors contribute to hearing instrument wearers’ experienced difficulties communicating on the phone. These include presence of background noise, inappropriate or inadequate coupling to the phone, handset positioning difficulties or constraints, and absence of visual cues.
Many hearing instruments have the option to operate in one of three modes for phone conversations: Acoustic phone, inductive coupling (telecoil), and digital wireless coupling.
Acoustic mode. Hearing instruments operating in acoustic mode (holding the phone receiver to the hearing instrument microphone) receive and amplify all sounds surrounding the hearing instrument wearer. Sounds amplified in this mode include the phone’s audio signal—typically conversational speech—as well as ambient sounds.
Telecoil. Hearing instruments operating via inductive coupling (telecoil) receive signals from magnetic fields generated by telecoil-compatible phones. Inductive coupling can be inductive coupling only, in which amplification of ambient sounds is avoided by turning off the hearing instrument microphones in the inductive coupling program (telecoil program). Inductive coupling can also be a combined inductive coupling and hearing instrument microphone mode (microphone-and-telecoil program) allowing the phone signal to be delivered through the inductive coupling while ambient sounds are being amplified through the hearing instrument microphones.
Wireless streaming. The third option for phone use is streaming either via a hearing aid accessory or directly from an iPhone. When streaming through a hearing instrument accessory, the accessory is paired to a Bluetooth compatible phone. When using the phone, the sound streams from the phone to the accessory, via Bluetooth, to the hearing instruments via another digital wireless technology.
As with inductive coupling, streaming from the phone can be done with and without the hearing instrument microphones activated, and thereby allow either amplification of or removal of ambient sounds. Inductive coupling and streaming improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by streaming the phone signal (typically speech). The degree of SNR improvement depends on the technology used and whether the hearing instrument microphones are activated or not. Deactivation of the hearing instrument microphones may be needed for some in order to be able to carry out a phone conversation, whereas activation of the hearing instrument microphones might be preferred by others to allow awareness of the environmental sounds around them.
Streaming, whether via an accessory, removes the reliance on correct placement of the phone handset. Streaming also allows the listener access to the phone conversation in both ears, which has been shown to provide significant benefit even in the presence of several different noise configurations. This benefit has been attributed to binaural summation (or binaural redundancy), and binaural squelch.
It is estimated that visual information makes up approximately two-thirds of all communication.3 Most of us are probably unaware of our usage of visual cues in many situations, but become aware of them when in challenging communication situations like in background noise. The absence of visual cues might be the reason why people with normal hearing periodically experience difficulties hearing on the phone when in background noise. The addition of visual cues is also helpful for people with hearing impairment. In fact, those with very severe losses rely as much or more on visual information as on auditory information.
One of the advances that have come with smartphones and tablets is the possibility to carry out video calls. This means that the camera on the smart device can be used to pick up and transmit an animated image of the face of the caller at the same time he or she is talking. In this way, the call recipient can both see and hear the caller.
Many different apps exist that can be downloaded to smart devices for video calling. They require that both the caller and call recipient are using the same app. Assuming that the same benefit of visual cues is available on a video call, this technology could provide an important benefit for hearing instrument users. In particular, for those with severe-to-profound hearing losses, this technology could make the difference between successful phone use and no phone conversation at all.

Encoding is the process of translating data between two formats according to a set of rules or a formula. For example, you can encode "abc" to "ABC" using lowercase-to-uppercase rules. Decoding is the inverse process. You can decode "ABC" to "abc" using the same set of rules. There are many different applications for data encoding and decoding. Encryption, for example, is a form of encoding that uses a key. Without the key, the encoded data can't be decoded. Video data is encoded to make it smaller so that high-definition streams of video can be viewed over the Internet.
Here we are provide Encoder and Decoder of URL, HTML, BASE64, BASE32, BASE58, UTF8, UTF16, ROT13, ROT47, IND etc

While there a few limitations, there are many ways that online technology may benefit your business. Out of reducing costs to fixing safety and productivity, virtual technology offers many potential applications.
Virtual reality enables employees to immerse themselves in a genuine work environment. www.getodin.org/the-latest-insights-in-ma-and-corporate-development-from-leading-experts For example , it will be easy to train a brand new employee in the company’s development processes or to identify harmful situations that need to be addressed. It is also used to execute meetings, save time, and maintain a collegial atmosphere.
Architects are now using VR to show in depth plans in 3D. It is an excellent application for presenting a new production. It can also be used to show mild effects on a proposed space.
VR headphones are available in semi-immersive and totally immersive models. Fully immersive units offer the finest level of virtual reality. These headsets are typically seen through a screen or a cellular device.
The future of virtual technology involves augmented certainty, which will include more physical elements into the community. This will increase the amount of interaction with an character in the actual, and change the way we work and interact with one another.
Advancements in tracking technology will also enable people to « insert » themselves into a virtual environment. In addition , it will be possible to use gestures to control the digital personal.

Using an advised piece of equipment to broaden my use of light with my headshot sessions. I was suggested to use flash gun but to be able to use it separately from the camera body. By using a remote trigger I was able to carry out my experiment. Trigger remote is attached to my camera body and another one to my flash gun. To work the devices must go off at the same time, so I had to tune the triggers on the camera body and flash gun. Then they will be in sync, the camera shutter should go off with the flash. While using the trigger remote I am able to position the flash gun in any angles I would like to use. By using a light stand, I placed the remote flash gun on top. By using the stand I can reach at any height I wish to use. To better expose the light from the flash to my sitter.
At first I attached flash gun on a light stand, positioned 45 degrees to my right shoulder. From this position I was able to get some dark shades on the face. But by bringing it forward and to ask the sitter to move his face. The outcome was different from the last shots, a more neutral exposure. Which lightened up the circumference of the face.
With these selected photographs, I used the trigger flashgun and a light soft box. I have used in my previous shots but I wanted to increase the light bounce.
The light reflector was acted on to demonstrate the effect it has on the shades.
To broaden my experience with light, I decided to shoot outside. The weather was suitable, the sunlight was hidden by the clouds. By using a light diffuser which the theory was to use under a balcony hanger. To hide away from the breaking cloudy sunlight. But being able to use the tin foil reflector the light was
able to bounce on the sitter's face.


Wan Kuang, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was quoted in a recent story in the Idaho Business Review focused on new scientific instruments being used at Idaho universities. Included was a $610,000 super-fast burst, high-intensity laser aimed at testing and developing nanomaterials. The laser, purchased with stimulus funds, will help test structures made of nanoparticle-infused strands of DNA that could someday be used in electronic devices, like cell phones and televisions. Kuang noted that the laser enhances Boise State’s research capabilities and its status as an emerging research institution.

The contribution of the working group Hydrology comprised first results of the hydrological modelling of flash floods applying the hydrological model WaSiM. The poster illustrated the methods applied for modelling of the Simbach flash flood event, results of the scaling and module tests as well as first results of the flash flood simulation using plausible parameters.
- Pflugbeil et al. - Hydrodynamic simulation of the flash flood events in Baiersdorf and Simbach (Bavaria) – A model comparison. The poster showed a model comparison between four hydrodynamic models (TELEMAC-2D, HYDRO_AS-2D, P-DWave and FloodArea) in their suitability for flash flood modelling. It has been found that all models are generally suitable for this purpose and the decision must be made mainly because of existing resources.
- Lin et al. - Uncertainty 1D-2D Coupled Models for Flash Flood Simulation with different rainfall boundary conditions (Kulmbach case study). The poster presented uncertainties in coupled 1D / 2D models with a surface (P-DWave) and sewer network model (SWMM).


Animals’ ‘sixth sense’ more widespread than previously thought
The ability of some animals to sense the magnetic field around them may be more widespread than previously thought, according to a new study.
Magnetoreception, as this sixth sense is called, is more difficult to detect in animals than the familiar five senses of vision, smell, hearing, touch and taste, said researchers, including those from the University of Manchester in the UK.
In the new study, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, scientists assessed how fruit flies sense and respond to magnetic fields in their environment by altering their gene activity.
Researchers found for the first time that a molecule present in all living cells, called flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), can impart magnetic sensitivity when present in high amounts
While species such as the monarch butterfly, pigeon and turtle are already known to use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate long distances, scientists said the new discovery suggested molecules enabling animals to sense magnetic fields are likely present in more living organisms.
“How we sense the external world, from vision, hearing, through to touch, taste and smell, are well understood. But by contrast, which animals can sense and how they respond to a magnetic field remains unknown,” said study co-author Richard Baines from the University of Manchester.
"This study has made significant advances in understanding how animals sense and respond to external magnetic fields – a very active and disputed field,” Dr Baines said.
One of the hurdles in determining how organisms detect magnetism is because magnetic fields generally carry very little energy unlike photons of light or sound waves used by the other senses.
To get around this, animals use quantum physics and a light-sensitive protein called cryptochrome.
“The absorption of light by the cryptochrome results in movement of an electron within the protein which, due to quantum physics, can generate an active form of cryptochrome that occupies one of two states,” explained study co-author Alex Jones, a quantum chemist from the National Physical Laboratory.
“The presence of a magnetic field impacts the relative populations of the two states, which in turn influences the ‘active-lifetime’ of this protein,” Dr Jones added.
The new study found cells continue to ”sense” magnetic fields when only a very small fragment of cryptochrome is present.
“That shows cells can, at least in a laboratory, sense magnetic fields through other ways,” said Adam Bradlaugh, another author of the study.
The basic molecule, FAB, present in all cells can impart magnetic sensitivity at high enough amounts, without any part of cryptochromes being present, the new research found.
“This molecule – flavin adenine dinucleotide – is the light sensor that normally binds to cryptochromes to support magnetosensitivity,” Dr Bradlaugh explained.
This new understanding of the molecular process behind cells sensing magnetic fields can help shed more light on how environmental factors – such as noise from telephone lines – may impact animals that rely on a magnetic sense to survive.
The findings also provide a clue on the evolutionary origins of magnetoreception.
“Because FAD and other components of these molecular machines are found in many cells, this new understanding may open new avenues of research into using magnetic fields to manipulate the activation of target genes,” said Ezio Rosato, another author of the study.
“That is considered a holy grail as an experimental tool and possibly eventually for clinical use.”


May is National Electrical Safety Month and a good time to review electrical safety practices. Increasing electrical safety awareness, following electrical safety guidelines, and using tools and technology designed to address electrical hazards are all components of a safety program.
What causes the top electrical hazards? Many are the result of the growing use of electrical power, combined with electrical systems that are over 20 years old. Wiring hazards are both a major cause of electrocutions and home fires, killing hundreds and injuring thousands each year. Misuse of surge suppressors, power strips and extension cords is also a cause of electrocutions and fires. Contact with power lines and major appliances contribute to hundreds of deaths annually, both at home and in the workplace. Eliminating these electrical hazards will help reduce deaths and injuries. Eliminating electrical hazards begins with education and awareness. A focus on electrical safety, both at home and in the workplace, can prevent the hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries and billions of dollars in economic losses that occur each year because of electrical hazards.
Use of tools and technology can also make our reliance on electrical power less hazardous. Investing in ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI), circuit testers and where necessary, personal protective equipment (PPE), can significantly reduce risk.
According to data, top electrical safety hazards include:
- Electrical fires caused by aging wiring;
- Misuse of surge suppressors and extension cords; and
- Electrocutions from power lines, wiring systems and large appliances.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) research indicates that each year we can expect more than 140,000 electrical fires, which result in hundreds of injuries and deaths. Electrocutions associated with wiring and consumer products cost hundreds of lives annually. In the workplace, over 300 workplace fatalities and approximately 4,000 injuries occur each year due to electrical hazards, according to a study published by the National Safety Council (NSC).
NSC-issued electrical safety tips help avoid tragic and costly injuries:
- Use appliances and equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Replace damaged electrical equipment or have it repaired at an authorized repair center.
- Make sure power strips, cords and surge suppressors are designed to handle the loads for their intended use. Avoid overloading circuits by plugging too many items into the same outlet.
- GFCI protection when working where water is near electricity to protect against electric shock.
- Make certain that all products and equipment are approved by an independent testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or ETL-SEMKO (ETL).
- Add protection by installing a new electrical safety device—an AFCI—to detect and stop electrical arcs that can cause fires.
- Arcs are not detected by most breakers and fuses.
- Avoid contact with power lines by being aware of the location of power lines and keeping a distance of at least 10 feet between you and power lines to avoid arcs.
GCIF: Top Safety Device
Installing a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in every home and workplace could prevent nearly 70 percent of the approximately 400 electrocutions that occur each year. GFCIs are especially useful for cord-connected appliances and equipment used outdoors or near water. GFCIs are electrical safety devices that trip electrical circuits when they detect ground faults or leakage currents. A GFCI can be an electrical receptacle, circuit breaker, or portable device. A person who becomes part of a path for leakage current will be severely shocked or electrocuted.
An Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) survey found that nearly one-half of U.S. families never test the GFCIs in their homes. More that 25 percent do not know that GFCIs can help prevent electrocution. Even among those who routinely tested their GFCIs, none said that they tested their units as recommended—at least once a month and after storms.
GFCIs are subject to wear and possible damage from power surges during an electrical storm. Industry studies suggest that as many as 10 percent of GFCIs in use may be damaged. ESFI recommends performing a simple monthly test to determine if GFCIs are functioning properly.
Among the estimated millions of GFCIs installed nationwide, many are the standard wall or receptacle type GFCIs.
To test your GFCIs, follow this simple procedure:
- Push the “Reset” button of the GFCI receptacle to prepare the unit for testing.
- Plug a light into the GFCI and turn it on. The light should now be ON.
- Push the “Test” button of the GFCI. The light should go OFF.
- Push the “Reset” button again. The light should again turn ON.
The light should go out when the test button is pushed. If the light does not go out, then the GFCI is not working or has been installed incorrectly. If the “Reset” button pops out during the test but the light does not go out, the GFCI may have been improperly wired. In this case, the GFCI may have been damaged and does not offer shock protection. Contact a qualified electrician to check the GFCI and correct the problem.
Avoid Outdoor Electrical Hazards
Warmer weather brings an increase in outdoor work in many parts of the country, both on the job and at home. Increasing electrical safety awareness can help ensure those activities do not result in injuries and deaths, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI). ESFI notes that following safety rules can reduce electrical deaths and injuries:
- Ladders—even those made of wood—that contact a power line can prove fatal.
- Unplug outdoor tools and appliances when not in use.
- Inspect power tools and appliances for frayed cords, broken plugs and cracked or broken housing and repair or replace damaged items.
The most recent data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows that on average, there are over 400 electrocutions in the United States each year. Of these, approximately 180 are related to consumer products. Large appliances were responsible for the largest proportion of the electrocutions—10 percent.
- Electrocutions from wiring hazards, including damaged or exposed wiring and household wiring together totaled approximately 20 percent.
- Ladders contacting power lines caused 9 percent of electrocutions; in another 5 percent of deaths, victims contacted high voltage power lines.
- Power tools were responsible for another 9 percent of deaths.
- Landscaping, gardening and farming equipment cause 7 percent of electrocutions each year.
In the work place, data from the National Safety Council indicate that electrical hazards cause nearly one workplace fatality every day. Annually, electrical hazards are listed as the cause of approximately 4,000 injuries. Electrical incidents, while only a small portion of those that occur on-the-job, are far more likely to be fatal.
- Electricity ranks sixth among all causes of occupational injury in the United States.
- Before the installation of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs), which de-energize a circuit when they detect a ground fault, nearly 800 people died annually from household electrocutions.
- Currently, fewer than 200 people die annually from household electrocutions.
- 25 percent of U.S. consumers don’t understand the purpose of their GFCIs.
- Over 25 percent of consumers do not know that GFCIs can help prevent electrocution.
- Nearly one-half of U.S. families never test their GFCIs.
Among those who routinely test their GFCIs, none do so according to safety recommendations—at least once a month and after storms.
Electrocutions do not tell the entire story. Electricity is the cause of over 140,000 fires each year, resulting in 400 deaths, 4,000 injuries and $1.6 billion in property damage. Total economic losses due to electrical hazards are estimated to exceed $4 billion annually.

A handful of opportunities!
What is the role of hand tracking within our XR trainings
We at Rhinox came across an interesting problem one day, people who aren’t used to controllers
have a really hard time getting accustomed to them!
Besides it being annoying for the person in question it also slows down the learning process significantly and might even distract the person during the training.
This is why we at Rhinox have dedicated ourselves to exploring the possibilities and limitations of hand tracking as well as what the future has in store for this technology.
How do we leverage hand tracking at Rhinox
In one of our recent training programs we used hand tracking as a way to move around in a VR environment as well as a way to interact with user interfaces dotted around the virtual world. One of the biggest reasons we decided to use hand tracking technology was to lower the barrier of entry for students who have never worked with controllers before.
Possibilities with hand tracking
As you can see there are a lot of possibilities with hand tracking, since we aren’t bound any longer to
using controllers we can incorporate certain interactions that ought to be impossible with a
Listed below are some of these interactions:
Picking up objects in a natural way
Realistically interacting with machinery
Seamlessly interact with AR environments
Besides these interactions it is also great to know that a hand has more freedom than a controller
and thus allows for more complex interactions to take place.
What does the future of hand tracking look like
The future of hand tracking looks bright!
Both in software and hardware there are improvements made every day that allow for more precise tracking as well as more complex interactions.
If this trend keeps going like it is going now I personally foresee a future without controllers.

MODTRAN6 offers a new GUI that enables users to load existing cases, interactively
enter or modify inputs, save their JSON formatted input files, run MODTRAN6, and
graphically view the newly generated spectral output data.
Users can choose to entirely avoid editing text input files and instead may run
MODTRAN6 through an interactive graphical user interface (GUI).
A Line-By-Line (LBL) radiative transfer option has been developed for MODTRAN®.
The MODTRAN® algorithm solves the LBL radiative transfer equations at arbitrarily fine
spectral resolution within 0.1 cm-1 spectral bins, stitching together contiguous bins to
build the full band pass spectral.
The advantage of the narrow spectral bin approach is that
tail contributions from molecular transitions centered more than 0.05 cm-1 from a bin edge
can be pre-calculated analytically. The number of transitions that must be modeled on-the-fly
for any given 0.1 cm-1 bin is quite modest.
The local chemical cloud option can be combined with the MODTRAN® multiple line-of-sight (MLOS)
option to generate cloud images from a single MODTRAN® run. MODTRAN6 band model data is provided
for the HITRAN line compilation molecular species.
An Aerosol Toolkit (ATK) was developed as a pre-processing adjunct to the MODTRAN code.
This suite of software tools generates aerosol optical property and profile data, in MODTRAN’s
SAP (Spectral Aerosol Profile) format, from user input aerosol specifications.

Our hybrid strategies for information retrieval and clustering are corroborated by two case studies.
The new method of Coupled Simulated Annealing makes use of coupling in order to allow multiple Simulated Annealing (SA) processes to cooperate toward finding the global optimum of multi-modal and multidimensional optimisation problems.
Both textual and bibliometric approaches have advantages and intricacies, and both provide different views on the same interlinked corpus of scientific publications or patents.
In addition to textual information in such documents, citations between them also constitute huge networks that yield additional information.
We incorporate both points of view and show how to improve on existing text-based and bibliometric methods for the mapping of science.
Firstly, we discuss the use of text mining techniques for information retrieval and for mapping of knowledge embedded in text.
A number of proof-of-concept applications is presented in order to show the effectiveness of our methodologies.

So someone has invented a better mousetrap, er, light bulb I mean.
Philips, maker of many an electronic gizmo, gadget and whizbang doo-dad, has invented a light bulb it says can last 30 times longer than traditional bulbs. It also uses much less electricity and presumably gives off much less heat.
According to published reports, the bulb is a Light Emitting Diode (LED), which, if you’re familiar with LEDs, you can believe will last a long time. They are typically smaller, brighter, cooler and much more efficient than many other light sources. They’re popular in small electronics because they don’t use much juice, they stay cool and last virtually forever -- meaning you don’t have to break open your gadget to replace bulbs very often, if ever.
Philips’ LED bulb recently won a U.S. Department of Energy L Prize for being an effective replacement for 60-watt bulbs, and the $10 million purse that came with it.
The catch with Philips’ LED light bulb? It’s $50, according to some reports, $60 according to others, and nearly $30 if you look around online a little.
Can’t you see yourself going out and stocking up?
Government regulations -- the enforcement of which has apparently been delayed a while -- will soon phase out the use of the old-school incandescent bulbs with new energy-efficiency requirements.
Compact fluorescent bulbs -- last I remember around 7 bucks apiece -- have been around for several years now and at one time were thought of as the likely heir to the incandescent.
While I’m not generally a fan of the quality of the light they emit (I don’t think I’m alone in that), they do have a remarkably long life. Not 20 or 30 years, perhaps, but I have one in a desk lamp in front of me as I type this that I’m sure I screwed in in 2006 or 2007.
Not a bad run, eh?
So how is the Philips LED bulb going to work out?
Pretty soon, you won’t be able to buy incandescent bulbs, but I’m not sure who would want to, really. They are fragile. They blow out easily. However cheap they are, they just don’t last. They are also hot and inefficient.
I’m sure some out there are stocking up on incandescents for the light bulb end times -- and I’ve heard at least one radio talk show host admit to as much -- but who wants a garage full of light bulbs?
Is the compact fluorescent the ideal replacement? Is the LED a better solution? I don’t know. But I’m not looking forward to putting a $50 light bulb under the hood of my stove and watching a pot of spaghetti sauce splatter on it.

A Residential Electrician Explains Power Surges and Surge Protection
Surge protection is something a lot of people often overlooked. You spend a great deal of money on numerous appliances and electronics. One of the best ways to protect your investments in electronics is to have a residential electrician install surge protection in your home.
A power surge occurs when something causes a sudden spike in voltage. This rises the electrical current flowing through your home. Power surges can damage electrical equipment and shorten their lifespan. Equipment such as televisions, computers and DVD and blu-ray players are particularly susceptible to spikes in the electrical current. The surges in power can damage the chips, circuits and microprocessors. They can even wipe the memory from your computer.
People often experience power surges with lightning. Nonetheless, there are diverse reasons of power surges besides lightning. One of the most common causes of power surges is using electrical appliances that use a lot of energy. Some of these appliances include the microwave, clothes dryer and automatic dishwasher. They need power to be turned off and on. These spikes in the electrical current may not be noticeable. Nonetheless, these spikes can damage electrical equipment overtime, visit website here!
Another source for power surges is wiring. Technology has augmented the demand for numerous kinds of electronics. A lot of homes are not equipped to deal the increase in appliances and electronics and the energy they need. Flickering lights, blown fuses and tripped circuits are typically signs that you need to have a residential electrician come and rewire your home.
Other reasons of power surges include problems with your utility's equipment, such as power lines or generators, and electrical outages. o get more ideas about residential electrician, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mViO9mnCTBo.
Having a residential electrician install surge protection is a great way to minimalize about the damage surges can cause. Not all surge protection is the same. There are a lot of different kinds of surge protection available at different prices. On the other hand, just because a product is cheap, does not mean it will offer the type of protection you need. A residential electrician will know what goods are a good fit your budget.
A residential electrician can install surge protection for the whole house. A fit electrician can come, inspect your home and determine which type of surge protection is best for your home.
With the variety of choices obtainable to protect your appliances and electronics, it is important to take advantage of them. Installing surge protection in your home will minimalize superfluous damage and increase the lifespan of your electrical devices.

The Smart Goggle records everything the wearer sees - and can recognise objects, reports the Daily Telegraph.
So you can tell the glasses what you're looking for and the technology will show you when, and where, you last saw it.
Inventor Yasuo Kuniyoshi and his team at Tokyo University School of Information Science and Technology have created the world's most advanced object recognition software.
If a user initially tells the glasses the name of everything he or she looks at, the glasses will remember.
They can then locate the last time the object was seen if it is misplaced, and replay the footage.
In the future, the glasses will be more intelligent than the wearer, able to identify objects their owner doesn't even recognise.
The experimental model is too large for everyday use, but Prof Kuniyoshi's team is working on miniaturising it.
In theory, the only question that the glasses will not be able to answer is: "Where have I put my glasses?" (Daily Telegraph)

There are great benefits to hydrogen energy. The use of hydrogen as a fuel produces no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Unlike fossil fuels, the only emissions from hydrogen fuel are chemically pure water and oxygen. Hydrogen can be extracted from water using renewable energy from sources like the sun and unlike batteries, hydrogen energy can be stored indefinitely. There is no drilling, fracking or mining required to produce hydrogen energy. It is the cleanest, safest and most efficient energy source on the planet.
In the past, there has been obstacles in commercializing the potential of hydrogen energy. The most significant hurdle has been the need to reduce the cost of the production of hydrogen. No matter how productive an energy source may be, it will not be widely adopted if it is prohibitively expensive. But times have changed. The cost of technology has come down and it has made hydrogen production less expensive. As technology advances, it will continue to make hydrogen energy more and more affordable. H/Cell Energy Corporation has succeeded in developing a hydrogen energy system designed to create electricity that is generated by renewable solar energy. Its production of hydrogen is truly eco-friendly as it is not produced by the use of fossil fuels. We call the solar hydrogen energy system the HC-1. It is a system comprised of solar modules, inverters, batteries, a hydrogen generator, a fuel cell and a hydrogen storage tank.
Renewable energy is collected from the solar modules through a solar inverter that charges a bank of batteries through a battery inverter. After the batteries are fully charged, the excess electricity is then combined with water through a hydrogen generator that extracts the hydrogen from the water in a gasified state which is safely stored in a tank. After the tank is full, any remaining excess electricity is sent from the batteries through the battery inverter to the utility grid for energy credits. The HC-1 system is connected to the residential or commercial property through the inverters. The user always pulls electricity from the charged batteries to satisfy loads. If there is no sun to charge the batteries, the system uses the hydrogen stored in the tanks which through a fuel cell, creates the electricity to keep the batteries fully charged. Keeping the hydrogen tank full assures you of an on-going supply of clean energy and sustainability that is independent from the grid.
Each HC-1 system is designed to accommodate the electrical loads for an end user. The system is completely scalable. Typically, one HC-1 standard system configuration with solar modules and a large tank for hydrogen storage can provide the electricity needed for a standard size home. For an HC-1 system installation, the battery inverters and batteries are placed in the interior of the house or building. The hydrogen generator, fuel cell, electronics, pipes and tubing are kept in an outdoor enclosure near the house or building. The solar modules and solar inverters are outdoors and can be configured on the house or building or on land depending on available space. The hydrogen tank is typically underground.

Identifying Set-wise Differential Co-expression in Gene Expression Microarray Data
Sung Bum Cho, Jihun Kim and Ju Han Kim*
Background: Previous differential coexpression analyses focused on identification of differentially coexpressed gene pairs, revealing many insightful biological hypotheses. However, this method could not detect coexpression relationships between pairs of gene sets. Considering the success of many set-wise analysis methods for microarray data, a coexpression analysis based on gene sets may elucidate underlying biological processes provoked by the conditional changes. Here, we propose a differentially coexpressed gene sets (dCoxS) algorithm that identifies the differentially coexpressed gene set pairs between conditions.
Results: dCoxS is a two-step analysis method. In each condition, dCoxS measures the interaction score (IS), which represents the expression similarity between two gene sets using Renyi relative entropy. When estimating the relative entropy, multivariate kernel density estimation was used to model gene-gene correlation structure. Statistical tests for the conditional difference between the ISs determined the significance of differential coexpression of the gene set pair. Simulation studies supported that the IS is a representative measure of similarity between gene expression matrices. Single gene coexpression analysis of two publicly available microarray datasets detected no significant results. However, the dCoxS analysis of the datasets revealed differentially coexpressed gene set pairs related to the biological conditions of the datasets.

from the DCAR workshop on Practical Short-Range Atmospheric
During May 6-8, 1992, more than 100 experts in air pollution
modelling from 17 European countries, as well as the USA and
Israel, met at Risų, Denmark for the first of three planned
workshops on Practical Short-Range Atmospheric Dispersion Models.
In the final discussion the experts agreed upon the following
- The practical atmospheric dispersion models which are
presently used for regulatory purposes are based on
25-year old research (Pasquill-Gifford type stability
classes, simple Gaussian dispersion schemes, i.a.).
During the past 25 years, research in atmospheric
dispersion has progressed substantially, thus rendering
the presently used regulatory models outdated.
Consequently, there is now a need for development and
practical implementation of computer codes based on our
present knowledge of atmospheric dispersion.
The Commission of the European Communities is asked to promote
- The development of state-of-the-art practical models for
- The establishment of standard data bases for model
verification, based on both past and future experiments.
- Harmonisation within the field of regulatory models.

Green Plug featured here and here is a new technology from the up and coming startup of the same name. It’s mantra “One Plug. One Planet.” is indicative of the eco-friendliness on which the company is found. Green Plug wants to change the way consumers and manufacturers think about AC adapters, batteries, and basically things that plug into the wall.
The general idea is that all devices will use a truly universal AC adapter and that this will cut down on waste. Green Plug takes this idea further by making their plugs “smart”. Essentially, a Green Plug would feature an LCD status display and when paired with a compatible device provide information about the charge status. Further, because the Green Plug-enabled device would also be “smart” the Green Plug would cut the flow of power when the battery was fully charged and thus resulting in a reduction of power usage.
Currently there is a movement to standardize mini-USB as a power plug for many devices. An unfortunate limitation of this tech is that USB simply cannot handle the load required by most devices larger than a cell phone. Green Plug-enabled devices would be able to notify the Green Plug of its specific power requirements and in this way it is more intelligent and more capable than the USB-powered counterparts.
Green Plug is versatile and wants to be integrated into hubs, shops, offices and even homes. Aftermarket AC adapter providers like Targus could use Green Plug to create hubs capable of powering multiple devices at a time. The LCD read-out would provide status information for each connected device. Retail locations and offices could implement Green Plug to save energy and allow anyone with a Green Plug device to sip some juice from the power grid.
A big benefit that seems to be over-looked is integration with Smart Grid technology. Smart Grid is an idea being implemented by many major power companies to provide transparency to end-users regarding real-time pricing and usage of power. In other words, Smart Grid aims to have a household’s appliances use more power when the price of electricity is low and use less power when the price of electricity is high. Green Plug is smart too and could be integrated with Smart Grid to reduce load based on the information provided by the user’s power company. Some devices can be charged less quickly by limiting the amount of power that is provided. In this way it would be possible to charge a device and specify whether charging speed or energy savings are a priority.
While Green Plug has a lot to over come it has the right idea with its focus on energy savings and universal access for the end-user. Green Plug’s Earth first principles have come at a great time when energy prices are constantly on the rise.


Fixed SeaBird Saver system

The very first computer networks have been committed Particular-objective systems for instance SABRE (an airline reservation procedure) and AUTODIN I (a defense command-and-Management procedure), both equally built and implemented in the late fifties and early nineteen sixties. By the early nineteen sixties computer producers experienced started to utilize semiconductor engineering in industrial goods, and both equally traditional batch-processing and time-sharing systems have been in position in lots of large, technologically Superior organizations. Time-sharing systems authorized a computer’s means being shared in quick succession with multiple buyers, cycling from the queue of buyers so swiftly that the pc appeared focused on Each individual user’s jobs Regardless of the existence of many Many others accessing the procedure “at the same time.” This led to your notion of sharing computer means (known as host personal computers or just hosts) over a complete community. Host-to-host interactions have been envisioned, coupled with access to specialised means (for instance supercomputers and mass storage systems) and interactive access by remote buyers to your computational powers of time-sharing systems Positioned in other places. These Tips have been to start with realized in ARPANET, which proven the very first host-to-host community relationship on October 29, 1969. It absolutely was developed with the Superior Exploration Jobs Company (ARPA) of your U.S. Section of Defense. ARPANET was one of the to start with standard-objective computer networks. It linked time-sharing personal computers at govt-supported study web-sites, principally universities in The us, and it soon turned a important bit of infrastructure for the pc science study Local community in The us. Equipment and applications—such as the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP, generally often called e-mail), for sending small messages, and the file transfer protocol (FTP), for lengthier transmissions—swiftly emerged. So as to accomplish cost-successful interactive communications concerning personal computers, which typically converse In a nutshell bursts of knowledge, ARPANET employed the new engineering of packet switching. Packet switching normally takes large messages (or chunks of computer data) and breaks them into more compact, manageable items (often called packets) that may vacation independently over any offered circuit to your goal destination, where the items are reassembled. Hence, contrary to regular voice communications, packet switching isn’t going to require a one committed circuit concerning Each individual set of buyers. Business packet networks have been introduced in the 1970s, but these have been built principally to supply efficient access to remote personal computers by committed terminals. Briefly, they changed prolonged-length modem connections by fewer-expensive “Digital” circuits over packet networks. In The us, Telenet and Tymnet have been two such packet networks. Neither supported host-to-host communications; in the 1970s this was nonetheless the province of your study networks, and it might continue to be so for many years. DARPA (Defense Superior Exploration Jobs Company; previously ARPA) supported initiatives for ground-primarily based and satellite-primarily based packet networks. The ground-primarily based packet radio procedure supplied mobile access to computing means, when the packet satellite community linked The us with several European countries and enabled connections with extensively dispersed and remote areas. With the introduction of packet radio, connecting a mobile terminal to a computer community turned feasible. However, time-sharing systems have been then nonetheless as well large, unwieldy, and expensive being mobile as well as to exist outside a local weather-controlled computing environment. A robust drive Therefore existed to attach the packet radio community to ARPANET to be able to make it possible for mobile buyers with simple terminals to access time-sharing systems for which they’d authorization. In the same way, the packet satellite community was utilized by DARPA to connection The us with satellite terminals serving the uk, Norway, Germany, and Italy. These terminals, however, needed to be linked to other networks in European countries to be able to reach the close buyers. Hence arose the necessity to link the packet satellite Web, as well as the packet radio Web, with other networks. Foundation of the net The net resulted from the hassle to attach numerous study networks in The us and Europe. Initially, DARPA proven a system to research the interconnection of “heterogeneous networks.” This system, known as Internetting, was based upon the freshly introduced thought of open up architecture networking, by which networks with outlined normal interfaces could be interconnected by “gateways.” A Operating demonstration of your thought was planned. To ensure that the thought to operate, a brand new protocol needed to be built and formulated; without a doubt, a procedure architecture was also necessary. In 1974 Vinton Cerf, then at Stanford University in California, and this writer, then at DARPA, collaborated over a paper that to start with explained this kind of protocol and procedure architecture—namely, the transmission Management protocol (TCP), which enabled differing types of machines on networks all around the globe to route and assemble data packets. TCP, which originally incorporated the net protocol (IP), a global addressing system that authorized routers to receive data packets for their ultimate destination, formed the TCP/IP normal, which was adopted with the U.S. Section of Defense in 1980. By the early eighties the “open up architecture” of your TCP/IP tactic was adopted and endorsed by all kinds of other scientists and inevitably by technologists and businessmen all over the world. By the eighties other U.S. governmental bodies have been intensely involved with networking, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Section of Power, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Although DARPA experienced played a seminal purpose in creating a modest-scale version of the net among its scientists, NSF labored with DARPA to broaden access to the complete scientific and academic Local community and to create TCP/IP the normal in all federally supported study networks. In 1985–86 NSF funded the very first 5 supercomputing centres—at Princeton University, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of California, San Diego, the University of Illinois, and Cornell University. From the eighties NSF also funded the event and operation of your NSFNET, a nationwide “spine” community to attach these centres. By the late eighties the community was working at countless bits for each next. NSF also funded numerous nonprofit neighborhood and regional networks to attach other buyers to your NSFNET. A handful of industrial networks also began in the late eighties; these have been soon joined by Many others, and the Business Internet Exchange (CIX) was formed to allow transit traffic concerning industrial networks that or else wouldn’t are authorized around the NSFNET spine. In 1995, just after considerable evaluation of your situation, NSF made a decision that assistance of your NSFNET infrastructure was now not necessary, due to the fact lots of industrial providers have been now prepared and capable of satisfy the requirements of your study Local community, and its assistance was withdrawn. Meanwhile, NSF experienced fostered a aggressive selection of economic Internet backbones linked to each other through so-known as community access factors (NAPs).


How I added a 3.5mm earphone socket to a Sena SMH10 helmet headset.
(These days I use an S20 headset which has the socket already built-in.)
I'll answer queries & comments emailed to firstname.lastname@example.org, but don't ask me to do the wiring for you.
Preparation: Remove the headset clamp from the helmet. Remove the headset from the clamp.
Slide a blunt kitchen knife blade into the space between collar and clamp, lever the collar out.
Two screws are under the rubber backing. Lever it up enough to get to them.
A Phillips head screwdriver that fits the screws well is essential.
Gently remove the PCB from the clamp, taking care not to stress the microphone wires.
Mount the PCB so you have two hands free for soldering. A vice is good.
Unsolder the speaker wires.
Solder in three wires, ground, left, and right, commoning the speaker -ve terminals (L-, R-).
I used shielded twin cable, but any wire will do. Use red for R.
Tuck the new cable in place so the clamp screw holes are clear.
Screw the back plate on, keeping the microphone boom placed correctly, mic facing the right way.
Slide the locking collar back on along the boom.
Cut the cable to length. Around 10 to 15cm should do. Bare and tin the ends.
Solder the cable to the input terminals of a switching 3.5mm socket.
Solder the helmet-speaker cable ends to the output terminals of the socket.
Earth is commoned (white from the helmet speakers). Ensure you preserve the stereo pairing.
Whether you use a socket with mounting collar depends on your helmet setup.
I used the collar type on this helmet, no collar on another.
You might like to test the wiring at this point.
Screw the clamp back onto the helmet.
If mounting the socket on a flange as shown, drill a hole for it.
Use double-sided foam tape to stick the socket to the helmet on its non-terminal side, especially if not using a locking collar.
Position the wires so they sit nicely under the helmet padding.
I used a blob of blu-tack to waterproof around where the new cable enters the clamp.
You should now be able to use the helmet speakers normally.
When earphones are plugged in, the speakers are bypassed.
I use Etymotic er6 earphones, for good noise blocking and quality audio (ie music).
I have successfully wired three SMH10 headsets like this.
On mine, I also wired in the microphone from the Sena earphone-clamp, in place of the boom mic.
The mic is buried in the front of my Nolan N84 helmet.
