At the recent “Made in Yorkshire” awards ceremony, the British pest control manufacturer PestWest was announced as the winner of the Digital Engineering / Technology Award for its flyDetect product. The ceremony and dinner were hosted by Insider Media Ltd, publisher of Yorkshire Business News, and took place at the Hilton Hotel in Leeds.
“We are very pleased that PestWest was recognized for the technology with which we developed flyDetect. It has taken years to develop and is the first of its kind in the pest control industry, ”said Fred Hurstel, PestWest Business Director, in a press release. “Flying insects contaminating products remain an important issue for many industries, and early detection of potential flying insect problems is a great advantage when tolerance to insects is not required.”
He continued: “During the current and ongoing pandemic, it is especially important that hospitals, manufacturers and pharmaceutical industries have the assurance that insect detection is guaranteed while ensuring the safety of their employees, and flyDetect enables them to do so via remote monitoring.”
FlyDetect’s 24/7 remote monitoring system has an integrated high-resolution camera that captures the entire sticky board. The product is designed to send instant notifications when an infestation occurs. The detection thresholds can be adjusted to the sensitivity of the situation in which flyDetect is being used, making it ideal for industries like food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, the company says.
The PestWest range of electric fly control devices was first developed by Mike Kemp in the early 1980s. In 1991 PestWest Electronics Ltd was founded to develop the electric fly control series within the Killgerm Group, and also further developed the concept of insect light traps, which use sticky boards to control the insects.
In 2001 a separate company, PestWest USA, was founded to serve the American market, which PestWest had entered in 1993.

Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision of the People's Republic of China has approved Beijing to build a national measurement data construction and application base for autonomous driving, which is based on the application scenarios of the city's high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone. It is learned that the base will be the first of its kind in China.
Measurement data consists of all types of original and generated data emerging from measurement activities. Such data sets are notable for their traceability and reliability, making them essential national strategic resources, as well as new factors of production. Ensuring the accuracy of the measurements and data security and achieving effective use of measurement data will provide important technical support for boosting the development of new quality productive forces.
At present, Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone has issued road test qualifications for more than 800 vehicles of 29 tested automakers, and the testing mileage of autonomous driving has exceeded 25 million kilometers, realizing the full opening and coordinated development of eight urban application scenarios, such as those of intelligent connected passenger vehicles, intelligent connected buses, unmanned shuttles, unmanned delivery services, and trunk logistics, among others. Cumulatively, the zone has provided regular travel and life services for more than 11.6 million trips, amassing extensive data on vehicle-side perception, roadside perception, signal control, travel services, and others.
The application base is dedicated to leveraging measurement data to contribute to industrial development, urban governance and livelihood services. It builds upon roadside data from measurement equipment such as video equipment and sensor equipment, and the vehicle-side data collected by autonomous vehicles through measurement equipment such as sensors and cameras. By analyzing and mining such data to establish a standard scenario library, the base aims to develop an integrated vehicle-road-cloud information system for autonomous driving measurement data, as well as a proactive safety protection system. These endeavors are expected to advance the construction and application of the autonomous driving data system, so as to ensure safer, more efficient and smarter autonomous driving.

"Remote Information Teams"
If you're newly remote, you may feel like you've been thrown into a mysterious culture where you sort of speak the language but sort of not. Use Jinfo's "Focus on Remote Information Teams" to become fluent:


Quantum computing has the potential to further accelerate and enhance the research and development of new compounds in the future. In early 2021, Boehringer Ingelheim entered into a quantum computing research partnership with Google Quantum AI to explore future applications in pharma R&D.
The magic number is 200 seconds. According to recent studies, a quantum computer can solve specific problems in 200 seconds while the world’s fastest supercomputer would need 10,000 years to perform exactly the same task. Quantum computing could thus potentially create entirely new opportunities for highly computer-based fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
Special areas of interest here include early pharmaceutical R&D, particularly drug design and in-silico modelling – the very areas in which researchers at Boehringer Ingelheim have a high level of expertise. Therefore, quantum computing could have significant implications for the analysis and timing of these research processes: It could enhance drug discovery and design, reduce the time to market for new medicines, and lower the costs of data-rich processes. This is why quantum computing could potentially be a big leap for medical research in general.
The partnership between Boehringer Ingelheim and Google Quantum AI comes at exactly the right time, according to Ryan Babbush, Head of Quantum Algorithms at Google: “Extremely accurate modelling of molecular systems is widely anticipated as among the most natural and potentially transformative applications of quantum computing. Therefore, Google is excited to partner with Boehringer Ingelheim to explore use cases and methods for quantum simulations of chemistry.”
In line with its partnership, Boehringer Ingelheim has set up a dedicated Quantum Lab, assembling experts from academia, industry, and quantum providers. Further partnerships from the industry and academia as well as in-house expertise, particularly from the IT and the company’s R&D teams, will assist these experts with their work.
This was the year American physicist and Nobel laureate Richard P. Feynman introduced the idea of simulating physical phenomena on a machine that operates on quantum mechanical principles.
The idea of a universal quantum computer, a machine which uses quantum effects to simulate nature, was born.


We registered a major outage of the old Freescale WLAN system. As far as we can see, the system is completely unable to provide a Wi-Fi connection for users since 2022-03-01 00:00.
We are working on finding the cause of the problem.
- 2022-03-03 22:00 – We have concluded that the outage might have been cause by Ethernet connectivity issues between the WLAN controllers and the WLAN APs. Some parts of the system still experience minor issues, which don't really seem to be releated to the Ethernet connectivity issues.
- 2022-03-01 12:23 – We have received reports that at the same time the WLAN system had an outage, the LAN connection in house E did as well, but no direct connection between these two incidents is known.
- 2022-03-01 11:12 – It seems some deeper network layer caused the access points to lose the connection to our controllers completely. The exact cause for this, however, is yet unknown.
- 2022-03-01 10:55 – We are seeing improvements, as access points go online again and clients start reconnecting. The increased bandwidth usage (compared to during the outage) indicates that the system starts working again.

Increasing energy demands, complexity and regulations demand much from an industry that has changed little over the last hundred years. New technologies offer much needed solutions as well as exciting new possibilities. Deploying new technology will transform today’s utilities into digitally empowered next-gen energy players, which is a daunting and difficult process for many. This is a how-to guide for utilities interested in not only surviving today’s increasing demands but leading in what will certainly be a very different energy future.
Built at a time when electricity needs were scarce, utilities are increasingly unable to meet the changing and increasing energy demands of the 21st century.
Powered by radical technological development, a new grid is arising: the smart grid. Smart grids are a network of communications, controls, computers, automation, and novel technology, such as AI and machine learning, working together. Smart grids allow two-way communications where electricity and information move freely back and forth between end users and utilities creating a more efficient, stable, and greener power grid. Smart grids challenge the traditional value chain, discards aging infrastructure, and takes advantage of digital communications solutions to identify and react to consumption changes.
Although the digital revolution is just beginning, smart grids are developing quickly. It’s only a matter of time before the utility sector is radically reinvented. Utilities will soon find themselves at a crossroads: to either surrender or become smart.

The most important technologies driving smart grids are explained here.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), or smart meters, is critical to the development of smart grids worldwide. It enables automated, two-way communication between grid operators and consumers, and provides a more accurate and automatic overview of power consumption. However, AMI can prove to unlock far more opportunities than remote meter readings and precise invoicing, amongst others:
Depending on how utilities use their data, AMI can be just another operational silo, or an invaluable information and insight generator. You can read more about the subject in the following articles:
The radical growth in IoT devices – smart, connected sensors, products and systems that communicate with each other via the Internet – in the energy sector is disrupting traditional infrastructure operations. According to Gartner, the number of IoT devices will increase to 20.4 billion worldwide by 2020. For utilities, IoT creates new opportunities to connect and communicate with customers, gain new insights into grid operation or better service delivery, and optimize infrastructure management.
Over 90 percent of the world’s data was generated during the last two years. As the number of IoT devices increases, the amount of generated data will only grow. According to Forbes, 1.7 megabytes of new information will be generated every second for every human being on the planet by 2020.
Legacy IT systems are completely incapable of coping with the enormous amount of data flowing in from an increasingly IoT-driven and digitalized infrastructure. To cope with this, utilities are increasingly moving to the cloud.
Explained simply, cloud solutions are scalable services that allow the storage and access of data and software over the Internet. For utilities, cloud solutions promise several significant opportunities. Microsoft boasts three essential cloud-service benefits:
Specific prerequisites are necessary to develop a successful cloud strategy. You can read what these are in this article: Cloud only? 5 Prerequisites for a Successful Cloud Strategy
Smart meters, infrastructure sensors, weather data, and social media data provide utilities with tremendous insights and opportunities into infrastructure operations. For the first time, utilities can leverage these insights and opportunities with AI and machine learning.
With AI and machine learning, utilities can handle massive amounts of data intelligently as they recognize normal flow patterns, identify deviate patterns and predict various potential grid situations. Instead of reactive fault corrections, AI and machine learning make it possible to proactively address and potentially avoid faults altogether.

An increasing focus on renewable energy has resulted in an increasing number of production sources, greatly altering the traditional one-way model of electricity distribution. Today, consumers are quickly transforming from passive participants into active “prosumers,” able to produce, use and store their own energy. Smart meters enable prosumers with their own solar, wind, or water power facility to feed excess energy into the power grid.
As renewable energy is increasingly fed into the grid, energy demand will vary from hour to hour, day to day, and season to season, creating fluctuating consumption levels. Battery technology allows utilities to store energy for shorter or longer periods of time. Recent developments within battery technology enable utilities to include batteries in their infrastructure operations and unlock several benefits, amongst others:
Transport sector electrification is a considerable concern for utilities faced with massive investments to accommodate increasing electricity demands. Although EVs currently represent only a small percentage of global car sales, several automotive companies are increasingly investing in them. Consultancy McKinsey, estimates that there could be ten to eleven million battery EVs on US roads by 2030. A rising share of EVs on the roads doesn’t have to be a problem. New technology aims to turn EVs into a powerful grid asset.

Customers have higher expectations than ever before. Yesterday’s passive consumers of are gradually being replaced by engaged, empowered, and well-informed customers. According to an Accenture study, 58 percent want their utility to provide them with recommendations and suggestions for energy savings. Not at least, customers have become digital. According to the same study, 92 percent want to receive personalized digital notifications.
To accommodate this, several utilities have developed mobile apps for invoicing, visualization, payment solutions, and power outage communications. The Norwegian utility Ringeriks-Kraft, for instance, aims to transform from a power supplier into an energy partner for their customers. With the help of cloud-based solutions, they process and make use of smart meter data to help customers take control over their energy consumption through a smartphone mobile app.
Drones are flying in to revolutionize utility infrastructure operations. Drones have already assisted utility operations for some time, but when it comes to next-gen operations, not all drones are created equal. Tomorrow’s utility operations will use intelligent drones. Assisted by sensor technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, intelligent drones are capable of identifying infrastructure faults and weaknesses.
With the help of real-time analytics, intelligent drones will identify anything from missing components and defective isolators to rotting wooden masts and woodpecker holes, providing utilities with a range of operational opportunities:

As we move towards a more efficient and financially viable energy supply, utilities are developing into cross-disciplined operations centers. This allows the entire supply and distribution system to be managed and operated together with new services, as well as physical infrastructure for different purposes to be operated from the same geographic location.
Infrastructure can be multifunctional. Multi-utility technology enables utilities to monitor and control different meters under the same communication network. Utilities operating smart electricity and water meters can correlate data from both meters in the same multi-utility system. This enables utilities to manage several services from a single location, either by managing several utilities or collaborating with other utilities. This promises to reduce operations and administration costs and create new end-user services in a 24/7 operation.
By identifying potential business model convergence opportunities and creating multipurpose infrastructure, utilities can position themselves as an essential city partner in the emerging smart city ecosystem. You can read more about the subject in this article: Why Public Utilities Should Help Cities Become Smarter
With the digitalization of the energy sector follows regulatory changes. Several of these will have a profound impact on infrastructure operations. Some of the most important are listed here.
Privacy has always been important. When the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into power, it becomes critical. As the consultancy McKinsey explains, GDPR aims to ensure that personal data is protected against misuse and theft, and to give EU citizens control over how their data is used. In the face of increasing customer data, it’s vital that utilities familiarize themselves with the new legislation.
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority provides a valuable summary of the guiding principles of the GDPR:
You can read more about privacy protection and the GDPR in this article: End User Privacy Perspectives in Utility Infrastructure Operations
Drone operations in power grid operations come with a list of legal requirements to ensure safe practice. As drone technology evolves, laws and regulations change. Here’s a brief overview of the main features in Norwegian, UK, and US regulations:
Several nations are leading in the race to digitalize in the energy sector. Here we mention a few projects and utilities, which are already well-positioned to face the increasing digitalization of the sector.
With ambitious climate and energy objectives, including carbon dioxide emission reductions by 40 percent by 2020, and long-standing experience with renewable integration into the power supply, Denmark is among the leading European nations in the smart grid development race.
Copenhagen Clean Cluster’s report “Denmark: A European Smart Grid Hub” highlights several cutting-edge projects currently taking place in the Scandinavian country:
The Northeast Group forecasts Germany’s investment in smart grid infrastructure to grow to $23.6 billion between 2016 and 2026, including 44 million smart meters. The private energy company E.ON, for instance, is well on their way to accommodate these changes. As early as 2014, E.ON announced a plan to separate its traditional energy business units into a separate company and refocus their core efforts on renewable energy and distributed customer-facing project development. Furthermore, they have trained nearly 1 000 new smart meter technicians as part of the massive deployment of smart meters, and in 2017 they launched the app E.On See, which enables smart meter customers to view their electricity and gas use anytime, anywhere through an easy-to-use smartphone app.
The public power-owned, nonprofit corporation The Energy Authority, help their public power clients thrive in the new data-driven world by offering data analytics solutions and delivering high quality customer-centric services. They have introduced the service TEA Connected Analytics to help its utility clients maximize asset value by reducing operating, costs, lowering capital expenditures, and improving retail customer satisfaction.
Utilizing the technological opportunities, meeting the demands and trends underlying the smart grid development, and efficiently leveraging smart grid data leads to several costs saving opportunities for utilities:
Based on our experience at helping utilities throughout their digital transformation, we present the most typical barriers utilities face when reaching for efficient power grid operations in the digital era:
Utilities who fail to embrace, invest in, and take advantage of new technology and continue to operate their infrastructure with legacy methods, will be unable to meet increased competition from both existing and new market players who have digitalization at the core of their business. Utilities that invest in outdated technology will lag behind and risk bankruptcy or acquisition from those who successfully reconstruct themselves as digitally-driven next-gen utilities.
Effective digital infrastructure operations require specific changes. Novel technology demands optimized data management and analytics, and sustainability initiatives increase the number of EVs and consumers storing and producing renewable energy. How, then, should utilities navigate among technologies, trends, laws, and regulations?
Utilities are usually organized in silos based on function. Next-gen utility infrastructure operations require utilities to utilize and juxtapose data from different verticals on a centralized platform. This involves a convergence of operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Tearing down the silos between OT such as SCADA and DMS, on the one hand, and IT, such as customer information systems (CIS) and smart meters, on the other, enables data sharing for system improvement, cost reductions, improved customer satisfaction, and efficient utilization of existing infrastructure.
Despite the new and exciting opportunities digitally empowered power grids are paving the way for, a more connected grid means more attack surface for less desirable players. With today’s digital infrastructure transformation, utility hacking is on the rise. Convergence of IT and OT, third-party vendor access to utility infrastructure, consumer demands for real-time data, and a generational workforce shift to millennials increases this risk.
Optimal care for cybersecurity and privacy protection requires an IT infrastructure that allows you to process, store, and utilize customer-related and sensitive operations data safely. Microsoft highlights several features required for such an infrastructure:

To read more about how to maintain cyber security and privacy protection in cloud solutions for utility infrastructure operations, you can read more in these articles:
As IoT and Big Data become indispensable components in next-gen utility infrastructure operations, the number of connections and the amount of data waiting to be processed increases. Legacy IT systems are neither designed for nor capable of processing and analyzing Big Data. Additionally, several utilities lack the necessary IT architecture and processes necessary to transform data into practical operations.
To handle the changes affecting infrastructure operations in the best possible way, utilities are dependent on an overarching system platform that embraces all and every opportunity inherent in digitalization without dead ends. Such a platform should be able to do the following:
Machine learning and AI are critical to analyzing the massive amount of data collected from sensor technology and IoT devices. By applying data learning algorithms, machine learning finds hidden patterns and delivers new insights without being explicitly being programmed to search a specific place within the data.
Next-gen utility infrastructure operations depend on a top system able to communicate with various professional systems. The optimal system platform uses open standards to retrieve data from professional systems. In effect, this means that multiple systems can exchange data and information across each other to open up new operations and planning opportunities as well as improve customer-oriented processes.
Read more about the subject here: SCADA / DMS / AMI / NIS: Obsolete?
The number of connections and sensors installed in the power grid and the amount of data collected will only increase. To accommodate this, utilities should acquire a system platform that provides the necessary flexibility to scale up when needed.
Cloud-based solutions allow you to start small with little to no risk and low investment costs and enable you to expand and scale up as the need arises. It helps little, however, to move existing legacy systems over to the cloud. The solution should be scalable, without outdated infrastructure and designed for big data and advanced analytics.
An optimal system platform for next-gen utility infrastructure operations needs to support the following interfaces:
Utilities preparing to transform into next-gen utilities could benefit from partnering with a digital technology leader to support their digitalization across the entire value chain. To choose the right partner, ask yourself the following critical questions:


Phone is a very important thing that in this generation, even shopping can be done through phone with internet connection. Phone has a lot of uses wherein it is very beneficial to everyone. Everyone loves to have a smart phone. Even things need a lot of care in order for it to last for a long time.
A lot of people around the world are cellphone users, and mostly they adopted the habit of leaving their phones plugged in for charging at night until they drift to sleep. This case can be bad for your phone battery. Leaving it to re-charge overnight on the other hand is very convenient, you’ll wake up realizing your phone is fully charge and it and it can last for the whole day. But leaving it re-charging and plugged-in overnight is one of the ways of killing your phone slowly.
Here are some of the reasons why you should not charge your phone overnight:
- Charging it overnight can end the life of your phone
The battery life of a phone may reduce if you charge it overnight. The battery life can last longer when the owner keep the phone charged between 80% or when it is 40%. Since it is charging all night even if it is full, your phone can be damaged as well together with the battery. It may explode.
- It can waste the electricity
Knowing that charging the phone can actually consume electricity that is about 3.68 watts. Charging it overnight, not just the phone but also other gadgets, can consume a lot of energy leading you to have a large bill for electricity.
- End the life of the battery
Since the battery has a limited quantity of charging cycles available to it. While you are sleep and your phone is charging throughout the night, it is eating the battery life of your phone, because there are certain cycles that are available.
- It can destroy the charger/ adaptor
Knowing that the charger is being heated because of the charging process, the charger can be damage as well because of the heat that is generated by the process.
Charging your phone throughout the night can definitely harm the life of the battery, not just the battery but also the phone itself and the charger. Taking good care of the phone is needed in order for it to last long. Charging it properly can definitely make the battery life last longer.
It is important to know the charging capacity that your phone can have because of the fact that when you charge it after the capacity is reached, the chemistry of the battery can be damage. Taking good care of your phone for it is a very important.


Everyone is talking about cloud services. What are cloud services? Cloud services are simply another clever way to say your data and applications can be accessed over the internet using any device you want. What it really means is you have the freedom to move from a laptop to a tablet, to a smart phone and have access to all your tools and data. We offer unique solutions to deliver all or part of your computing needs independent of which device you choose to use.
- Work where you want the way you want, using the device you want
- Dramatically improve your ability to respond to customers on the go
- Rely less on a specific computer and redundant storage of your data
When you separate the connection your data and applications have to a physical computer, it means you no longer tie yourself to a single device, or worse, several devices to give you freedom. Really what it means is that even if there is a fire in your office and all the computers burn to a crisp, you can still access your data and applications over the internet with absolutely no downtime apart from replacing the physical computers. Insurance will replace your physical computers; nothing can replace lost or stolen data.


Since our last installment, your business has been busy creating and storing even more data. We’re already looked at some significant ways to get a handle on the seemingly unrelenting growth of data. There are other measures that you can institute right away that can help you to control your data growth while keeping information accessible, useful, and well protected. Here are a few additional measures to consider:
Cloud-based Storage opens up a whole new universe in data growth management. As opposed to installing and administering applications and data on-site, companies are now migrating their IT storage infrastructure to the cloud, or servers located off-premises. In the IBM AIX realm, there are myriad cloud-based solutions for storage and for backup solutions. These include IT recovery services such as cloud-based backups, disaster recovery, high availability, and replication services. Both applications and actual data can be housed on the cloud; this eliminates the need for companies to maintain their own equipment, potentially saving countless thousands of dollars. Cloud hosting makes it easier to scale storage as well; customers use only the storage they need as they need it, while the vendor can add more storage as warranted. Cloud hosting reduces administrative overhead concomitant with older systems’ provisioning technology. It’s tailor-made for IBM AIX systems.
Software-defined Storage, or SDS, focuses on the software services that can be performed on its managed hardware; it concerns itself mainly with managing policy-based data provisioning and storage management — regardless of the underlying hardware. It may include provisioning for storage-centric features such as duplication, replication, or data snapshots. A single interface accomplishes these tasks for many storage assets, whether they are siloed, consolidated, or virtualized.
Solid-state Drives, or SSDs, have the same characteristics as traditional hard-disk drives; they are configured in traditional factors such as 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives, and usually use standard storage interface features such as Fibre Channel, SATA, or SAS. They are designed to replace spinning media; they use Flash storage technology instead of magnetic media to read, write, and store data. The result is improved system performance as well as reduced response and processing time.
Flash Storage Arrays Flash storage — any storage technology that uses flash memory —includes USB pen drives, cell phone and MP3 player storage, single flash chips that are integrated into circuit boards and for data growth purposes, different types of hybrid and integrated Flash arrays. They improve performance through architectural improvements, reduced disk access latencies, and by using software to eke out more performance from flash and non-flash drives.
Object Storage, a form of software-defined storage that treats all forms of files, unstructured data, and system data and resources (including disk, tape, and server-based flash) as a collection of objects belonging to a single virtual pool, can be a big help in managing data growth. With object storage, each object contains its actual data, or payload, along with meta-data about the object. Since all data are treated as objects, this method overcomes the limits of the ‘blocks and files’ traditional file systems and provides improved system performance and administrative benefits.
While any of these methods can help you to keep data under control, more and more IBM AIX businesses are embracing the cloud as the smartest, most efficient and most cost-effective way to store, manage and control their data. The data control experts at Data Storage Corp. can show you how migrating data to the cloud can make a world of difference for your business today, and into the future.


Smok Novo 2 – The Best Vaping Product to Date
The Smok Novo 2 is a great new vaporizer from Vaporesso. This makes it a great value for the price. The first version of the vaporizer was a huge flop. The reason being that it just couldn’t keep your vapor quality on track. It was all over the place. Vaporesso Puff Bar has really gotten it right this time with the Smok Novo 2.
The biggest alter from the first version to the next is the huge upgrade in battery pack power, going through the old 450 as to the brand new 800 mah. Double the particular battery power means twice the efficiency. Increased air-intake capacity does mean more vapor production from your device. And, associated with course, the common charging methods with regard to the novo two pod system allow for fast getting times.
But, it’s not really just the upgraded efficiency that basically impresses the user. The biggest modify is in the form of the pods themselves. Instead associated with being like the aged ones where they had to be replaced frequently, the new ones have a much extended lifespan. There will be no need to go through the effort of constantly changing a dry pod after which waiting with regard to the replacement to be able to arrive. The brand new Smok Novo a couple of pods last up to two several weeks between replacements.
The enhanced design also arrives with a nothing else upgrades as properly. The outer shell regarding the device is a lot thicker compared to older versions and it does have a little bit more drag. This specific makes for a new better clean since the excess drag helps to pull the e-liquid into the coils. That process can take extended in the event the novo a couple of abounds with e-liquid. So, those looking regarding an easy in order to use computer may possibly want to think about the upgrade here.
Past that, the novo 2 has superb battery life. I’ve had a number of slow chargers, yet with the ability to swiftly charge to some total charge, I’ve never needed to change them. The higher wattage battery allows for lots of every day charging and also the super fast battery-life for someone of which might run out associated with juice while enjoying their favorite computer game. That should offer you lots of alternatives when playing on the go.
There usually are several pod choices with the Smok Novo 2. Smok offers both air flow and water holding chamber devices. You can get the greatest of both sides by combining your computer with the best of both worlds with the particular air chamber variation. Smok uses the patented design that will allows for optimal performance and durability of your system and then enhances it with all the water chamber. The result is the very efficient nova chip that provides you with the particular highest quality steam experience.
Smok also offers two different varieties of battery choices. The first will be their standard acer battery. The second reason is their new microprocessor controlled acer battery which often can also be pre-installed in typically the Smok Novo two kit. I discover the new kind to be a bit more reliable and longer lasting but the price point may be the bit higher regarding the comfort of getting the novo pod version with the kit. It’s just a personal choice and something that could not work regarding you. In any event the particular Smok Novo a couple of is a great little kit to be able to have to your electronic devices.
Overall the Smok Novo 2 is an excellent electronic device that will provide you with hours of great digital vapor experience. If you are after a very portable little vaporizer that furthermore performs well and it is very reliable. Then you might want to take into account the Smok Novo 2 vaporizer/cooktop combination. You’ll find of which it heats up fast and you will cook almost any foods that you would certainly like to prepare.


Since we plan on spending the majority of our time free camping we did a lot of research and thus have possibly made our motor home rather unique. We chose not to have any gas. (The wife has a 'thing' against gas since one self ignited in our first home. Thankfully we were home at the time and avoided damage to the house and ourselves!) Optioning for no gas, not only saved the costs of having it installed and certified by the appropriate authorities we also believe it to be safer.
Our power supply 240v also is not very conventional in a few ways. Most of our appliances will be regular household appliances even though we intend to spend weeks at a time free camping, we believe we have ensured that we will have enough power to run these appliances even if there should be some cloudy or rainy weather.
|Our Induction cooker|
|Ordinary household fridge with a microwave oven on top|
|The bus roof full of solar panels|
We installed solar panels on the roof to ensure plenty of power but then we had to ensure we could harness that power and after much research, we went with lithium batteries, for many reasons but mainly because they are much more efficient. The batteries are 400amps at 24v Lithium batteries and are controlled by a Dingo controller using SSR unit to take the bulk of the power from the solar to the batteries using a Vitron shunt off a negative cable to show us the amps, volts etc.
|Connecting the Lithium batteries together|
We have a separate 12 volt system and we have connected to solar 80w panel in the control box as well. 12 volt used to be the standard for extra low voltage power systems eg led lights etc.
|Dingo solar charge controller|
The higher the current (measured in Amps) the bigger the components need to be. High currents require large diameter cables and fuses, both of which can be expensive. However by doubling the voltage you get double the power (Watt) at the same current.
Sure we could have considered petrol generators, which are a cheaper alternative but they are not very neighbourhood friendly, they are noisy, they are not allowed in all campsites and you need to cart extra fuel for them as well as that creating on-going running costs.We have been at some camp sites that generators run upto 18 hours. Luck has it we were far enough away not to have to put up with these ourselves, though we feel sorry for anyone close by them.
|I am hoping we never need a generator - only time will tell.|


The acronym ICC profiles stand for international colour consortium. These profiles are information stored in various devices that are capable of outputting or inputting imagery. They are recordings of how many colours the input/output devices are capable of capturing or showing. Such examples of these devices could range from any type of output devices (mobiles, monitors, etc.) to other input devices that can store colours and imagery (Cameras, Scanners, etc.)
ICC profiles are recordings of how a pixel within a digital file is determined and how the image will show on a screen. These profiles are digital descriptions of what darkest and lightest colour tones the file can hold and the how many colours (gamut) the file is capable of showing. It also records the distribution and connection between the colour tones and gamut.
Every device can be described by a profile giving its capabilities of showing or capturing colour


HIGH-ENERGY COLLISION CANRESOLVE THE GREAT TIBET PROBLEM
HIGH-ENERGY COLLISION CAN RESOLVE THE GREAT TIBET PROBLEM
The Great Tibet Problem is described as illegal, illegitimate, military occupation of Tibetan Territory by a foreign invading force. The Great Tibet can be resolved by the application of physical force of a great magnitude that can evict the Occupier of Tibet without any further human intervention or effort.
Such forces with devastating power do exist in Nature. Planet Earth experienced the serious consequences of heavenly bodies such as asteroids, bolides, and meteorites colliding with Earth. These heavenly bodies acquire massive amounts of energy as Earth’s Force of Gravitation accelerates them as they enter Earth’s atmosphere.
The discovery of the highest-energy gamma rays by the Tibet ASgamma Experiment gives the hope of a Heavenly Strike acting to neutralize the military power of Tibet’s Occupier. While the gamma rays are prevented by Earth’s atmospheric shield from causing damage, the impacts by Near Earth Objects will not be undermined by the natural protection afforded by the Magnetosphere.

The Tibet ASgamma experiment, a China-Japan joint research project, has discovered the highest energy cosmic gamma rays ever observed from an astrophysical source—in this case, the Crab Nebula. The experiment detected gamma rays ranging from > 100 Teraelectron volts (TeV) (Fig.1) to an estimated 450 TeV. Previously, the highest gamma-ray energy ever observed was 75 TeV by the HEGRA Cherenkov telescope.
Researchers believe the most energetic of the gamma rays observed by the Tibet ASgamma experiment were produced by interaction between high-energy electrons and cosmic microwave background radiation, remnant radiation from the Big Bang.
The Crab Nebula is a famous supernova remnant in the constellation Taurus. It was first observed as a very bright supernova explosion in1054 AD (see Fig.1). It was noted in official histories of the Song dynasty in ancient China as well as in Meigetsuki, written by the 12th century Japanese poet Fujiwara no Teika. In the modern era, the Crab Nebula has been observed using various types of electromagnetic waves including radio and optical waves, X-rays and gamma rays.
The Tibet ASgamma experiment has been operating since 1990 in Tibet, China, at an altitude of 4300 meters above sea level. The China-Japan collaboration added new water Cherenkov-type muon detectors under the existing cosmic-ray detectors in 2014 (see Fig.2). These underground muon detectors suppress 99.92 percent of cosmic-ray background noise (see Fig.3). As a result, 24 gamma-ray candidates above 100 TeV have been detected from the Crab Nebula with low background noise. The highest energy is estimated at 450 TeV (see Fig.2).
The left figure shows the Tibet ASgamma experiment (Tibet-III array+ Muon Detector array); The right figure shows an event display of the observed 449TeV photon-like air shower. Credit: IHEP
The researchers hypothesize the following steps for generating very-high-energy gamma rays: (1) In the nebula, electrons are accelerated up to PeV, i.e., peta (one thousand trillion) electron volts within a few hundred years after the supernova; (2) PeV electrons interact with the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) filling the whole universe; (3) A CMBR photon is kicked up to 450 TeV by the PeV electrons. The researchers thus conclude that the Crab Nebula is now the most powerful natural electron accelerator discovered so far in our galaxy.
This pioneering work opens a new high-energy window for exploring the extreme universe. The detection of gamma rays above 100 TeV is a key to understanding the origin of very-high-energy cosmic rays, which has been a mystery since the discovery of cosmic rays in 1912. With further observations using this new window, we expect to identify the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy, namely, pevatrons, which accelerate cosmic rays up to PeV energies.
The China-Japan collaboration placed new water Cherenkov-type muon detectors under the existing cosmic-ray air-shower array in 2014. These underground muon detectors can suppress 99.92% of cosmic-ray background noise. Credit: IHEP
"This is a great first step forward," said Prof. HUANG Jing, co-spokesperson for the Tibet ASgamma experiment. "It proves that our techniques worked well, and gamma rays with energies up to a few hundred TeV really exist. Our goal is to identify a lot of pevatrons, which have not yet been discovered and are supposed to produce the highest-energy cosmic rays in our galaxy."


Critical Questions: Digital Culture, Personal Technologies and Quantified Aging
Stephen Katz, Barbara L. Marshall
Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
This paper outlines four critical questions emerging from the authors’ two recent research projects conducted at Trent University, ‘Digital Culture and Quantified Aging’ (SSHRC) and ‘Being Connected at Home: Making Use of Digital Devices in Later Life’ (CIHR). The projects engage in a mixed methods examination of the ‘technical turn’ in gerontological culture by collecting data from professional, commercial and internet sources, and carrying out qualitative research with older users of self-tracking and gaming technologies. First, are self-tracking and mobile technologies (e.g., fitness, sleep, mood) designed to monitor and manage health also constructing and popularizing technical measures of the aging process. Second, are data from these technologies, as well as from home monitoring systems, being uploaded, shared, aggregated and distributed beyond private use. Third, in what ways do digital and quantifying health technology industries promote their products with anti-aging promises for improved physical, emotional and cognitive health. And fourth, have these technologies and their metaphors of ‘smart’, ‘fit’ and ‘optimized’ created new images of the aging body as open to greater calculation, intervention, control and experimentation. Conclusions suggest that the digital devices that quantify aging also produce new reflexive conditions for older people to negotiate their own experiences and manage their futures against the risks and expectations assembled through the technical logics of such devices.


How Transition in Web Medium is Affecting Design
The ever increasing popularity of mobile applications has sent savvy Web Designers back to the drawing board. The IPhone, the Android, the Blackberry and a slew of electronic media moguls are redefining what effective Web Design means in the here and now.
Because of the rapid dissemination of mobile applications, Web Designers are quickly revising their design principles. Below you will find three of the core principles that should be kept in mind to effectively design for the mobile environment.
Due to the reduced size of the mobile screen, the design should be limited in its’ complexity. Although a website can fairly easily be ported to the mobile device, it is not usable due to the information load on your typical website. Mobile design requires a new way of looking at how a user behaves and how the experience needs to change to enable use via the interface.
Take advantage of user’s current knowledge and memory of concepts, features or symbols used throughout the web and OS interfaces today. For example, the user is familiar with a recycle bin or waste basket to delete files, maintaining this metaphor would increase the likelihood of a user inherently understanding the principle of moving items to the ‘trash’. In short, don’t recreate the wheel, just improve on it.
System to User collaboration is more than merely alerts/errors. There must be constant communication between mobile applications and the user to keep the user informed of what is happening through system feedback/content delivery. In addition, the inherent functionality of a mobile device plays an instrumental part in the messaging due to voice-based applications for the iPhone.


LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT
Those with interest in robotics can look at robotics platform MINDSTORMS from LEGO. It’s brain has 32-bit Microprocessor, USB and Bluetooth capabilities and Ultrasonic Visual Sensor, Touch sensor, 3 interactive servo motors and more. Right now they don’t ship to India directly. But if you have a friend in US, this may be perfect thing to ask for. Basic kit costs US$249. You can use this kit with Microsoft’s Robotics Studio to create great robots directly connected to you PC.


Health Canada is very clear on this issue:
"Current scientific evidence supports the assertion that RF energy emissions from Wi-Fi devices are not harmful."
Wifi signals can be found in your home, neighbourhood, schools, coffee shops, malls, and city centres to name a few. RF energy coming from Wi-Fi devices is similar to that emitted from commonly used household products such as cordless phones, video game controllers, remote controls for garage door openers, and baby monitors. These devices have been used in consumer markets for years Based on current scientific evidence, Health Canada has determined that low-level exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy from Wi-Fi equipment is not dangerous to the public. This conclusion is consistent with the findings of other international bodies including the World Health Organization, International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and the Instiute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Health Canada's position is that no precautionary measures are needed. Wi-Fi exposure levels are typically well below Canadian and international exposure limits, and there is no convincing evidence that they are a health hazard.

If you live near a military base, all your garage door openers are belong to us…
If you live near Quantico Marine Corps Base or Fort A.P. Hill and have problems opening your garage door, don’t smack the remote or rush out to buy new batteries.
Military bases in the Washington area are switching to a new radio system that uses the same frequency as garage door openers, and that has caused some of the devices to malfunction.
That happened because garage door openers work on a radio frequency the Defense Department has owned since World War II, but hasn’t used much.
Since they use a low-powered signal, the remotes can operate legally on the military frequency. There’s just no guarantee the signal won’t be jammed when the military is using the same wavelength.That’s what’s happening now at dozens of bases around the country. More technical details here.

NEO: Neuron State Dependent Mechanisms for Efficient Continual Learning
Authors: Anurag Daram and Dhireesha Kudithipudi.
Continual learning is challenging for deep neural networks, mainly because of catastrophic forgetting, the tendency for accuracy on previously trained tasks to drop when new tasks are learned. Although several biologically-inspired techniques have been proposed for mitigating catastrophic forgetting, they typically require additional memory and/or computational overhead. Here, we propose a novel regularization approach that combines neuronal activation-based importance measurement with neuron state-dependent learning mechanisms to alleviate catastrophic forgetting in both task-aware and task-agnostic scenarios. We introduce a neuronal state-dependent mechanism driven by neuronal activity traces and selective learning rules, with storage requirements for regularization parameters that grow asymptotically slower with network size - compared to schemes that calculate weight importance, whose storage grows quadratically. The proposed model, NEO, is able to achieve performance comparable to other state-of-the-art regularization based approaches to catastrophic forgetting, while operating with a reduced memory overhead.

Keynote: Versatility, Efficiency, and Resilience in Large-Scale Neuromorphic Intelligence at the Edge
An Introduction to a Simulator for Super Conducting Optoelectronic Networks (Sim-SOENs)
This tutorial will suffice to impart a functional understanding of Sim-SOENs. Starting with the computational building blocks of SOEN neurons, we will cover the nuances and processing power of single dendrites, before building up to dendritic arbors within complex neuron structures. We will find it is straightforward to implement arbitrary neuron structures and even dendritic-based logic operations. Even at this single neuron level, we will already demonstrate efficacy on basic computational tasks. From there we will scale to network simulations of many-neuron systems, again with demonstrative use-cases. By the end of the tutorial, participants should be able to easily generate custom SOEN neuron structures and networks. These lessons will apply directly to researching in the computational paradigm that is to be instantiating on the burgeoning hardware of SOENs. Format: Examples and instructions will be given in the form of Jupyter Notebook tutorials (already well into development). If it is conducive to the conference environment, these notebooks may be available for download and use in real-time. If this latter format is the case, practice exercises can be derived for active learning.
N2A -- An IDE for neural modeling
N2A is a tool for editing and simulating large-scale/complex neural models. These are written in a simple equation language with object-oriented features that support component creation and reuse. The tool compiles these models for various hardware targets ranging from neuromophic devices to supercomputers. Format: The first hour will provide a general introduction to the integrated development environment (IDE) and cover basic use cases: model editing, running a simulation, sharing models via Git, and running parameter sweeps.
The second hour will cover the basic LIF class hierarchy, techniques for designing your own component set, and integration with Sandia's Fugu tool. Special Requirements: This will be a hands-on tutorial. N2A may be downloaded from https://github.com/frothga/n2a and run on your personal laptop.
A hands-on tutorial for online interactive use of the BrainScaleS neuromorphic compute system: from the first log-in via the EBRAINS Collaboratory to interactive emulation of small spiking neural networks. This hands-on tutorial is especially suitable for beginners (more advanced attendants are welcome as well). We are going to use the BrainScaleS tutorial notebooks for this event.
For using the BrainScaleS system during the tutorial (and also independently of the tutorial for own research, free of charge for evaluation) an EBRAINS account (also free of charge) is needed (get an EBRAINS account here).
More info on how to get started using BrainScaleS. Format: Introductory presentation, followed by interactive hands-on tutorials. The attendants of the tutorial can a webbrowser on their own laptops to execute and change provided tutorials and explore on their own. Attendants will be able to continue accessing the systems with a generous test-quota also after the event
Fugu Introductory Tutorial
The tutorial will cover the basic design and practice of Fugu, a software package for composing spiking neural algorithms. We will begin will an introductory presentation on the motivation, design, and limitations of Fugu. Then, we will do two deep dive, interactive tutorials using jupyter notebooks. The first will cover how to use Fugu with pre-existing components, we call Bricks. The second will cover how to build a custom brick to perform a particular algorithm. In this case, the algorithm we choose will be an 80-20 network. Format: Interactive


Today, in the age of electric cars, electric charging points and other innovations, choosing the right home energy monitor is quite difficult, especially for a beginner in this matter. Not everyone knows that you first need to determine the number of phases in the electrical network. This is quite simple to do - if a cable with two cores (phase and neutral) is suitable for your entrance to the living space, you should buy a single-phase meter. Such a device is designed for a voltage of 220 V, which will be indicated on its panel. The presence of a four-core cable indicates the need to install a three-phase electricity meter. Three-phase devices are designed for phase (between one phase and another) voltage of 380 V.
In addition, energy monitoring devices can be divided into two categories - designed for free installation on a vertical surface and devices that provide mounting on a DIN-rail. In fact, most of the other models come with a wall mount bracket.
When choosing an electricity meter, also pay attention to such nuances as:
An important aspect: all work on the replacement / installation of a home energy monitor is associated with the risk of electric shock, fire or property damage. Therefore, they must be performed by a certified specialist. If the inspector from the distribution company considers that the work performed does not meet the requirements of regulations, the supply of electricity may be denied. Therefore, always consult with the distribution company, as well as read the recommendations at https://patriot-nrg.com before buying an electric meter and start work.
If you live in a private house and want to save electricity, we recommend looking closely at a household wind turbine or solar mini power plant.
An electric meter is a necessary utility meter. The electronic control and measuring device allows to fix multitariffness and has high accuracy. The principle of operation of the electronic electricity meter is based on the conversion of the input signal, presented in analog form, into digital values. The generated code is sent to the microcontroller where it is decrypted. The result is displayed as exact numbers. The advantages of the device include the following:
The electric meter can have both the liquid crystal display, and the analog counting mechanism. Such devices have a long inter-calibration period. Depending on the manufacturer, the electricity meter needs to be checked every 4-16 years.
Induction electricity meter is now considered an obsolete device. However, many continue to use it. Do they need to switch to an electronic electric meter? It is necessary to understand this question in more detail.
Induction energy monitoring has such advantages as:
However, a home induction energy monitor also has many disadvantages, among which the most significant are:
It can be concluded that it is more appropriate to change the outdated model to an electronic meter. With such a device you can use a powerful water heater or a new boiler.
Hybrid energy monitor - a device that combines elements of induction and electronic meters. The energy consumed is read by counting the speed of the disk, and the readings are displayed on the electronic dial. Such home energy monitors, in contrast to purely induction, are able to calculate tariffs. The device consists of several components:
The power supply converts the AC input voltage to a low DC and provides power to the electronic circuits of the meter. The circuit measures the current that feeds the load using a current transformer (sensor), through which flows the measured current. Other units perform a number of different functions: output and control via Ethernet, WiMax, Wi-Fi, ZeegBee network, display control, accuracy correction.
The rising cost of thermal energy is of considerable interest to the population in heat metering and the installation of a special device called a heat meter. If in the summer we are warmed by solar energy, then in the winter for heating of housing often come considerable bills. It is many times more profitable to settle with thermal networks not on settlement or contractual sizes, and on the basis of actual data from the heat meter. Installation of the device is allowed at the legislative level. Along with energy monitoring, the equipment will help you save more money.
The device is intended for installation on a heating pipe. Due to the small size and ease of maintenance, the installation of a heat meter is allowed even in hard-to-reach places. Devices are of the following types:
When choosing a heat meter, you should first of all pay attention not to the durability and features of work, but to certain parameters of your heating system. It is better to entrust the choice of the necessary model to the corresponding service, or to know quantity of thermal inputs, type and existence of hot water system, a thermal mode, pressure difference a direct or return line, expenses of the heat carrier.

DOES BLUE LIGHT DAMAGE YOUR EYES?
Dr. Jim Martin 07/08/2016
If you follow health news or health and wellness bloggers, you might have heard about blue light in the recent past. Blue light is emitted from an array of sources including the sun. There is a growing concern about blue light as we learn more about how it can negatively affect the eyes. Let's dig into this issue and shed some light (pun intended) on whether blue light really does harm the eyes.
Does Blue Light Pose A Danger To The Eyes?
Unlike some forms of light, blue light reaches into the depths of the eyes and gradually causes damage to the retina. There is little debate about this fact. The only issue up for debate is the extent of the harm caused by blue light. Blue light has even been connected to the onset of age-related macular degeneration.
Sunglasses Won't Block Out All The Blue Light
Blue light is emitted from natural sources such as the sun. Yet it is also emitted by digital devices. Electronics like tablets, laptops, smartphones and TVs produce ample blue light. Even LED lighting produces blue light. As humanity hurtles forward into the digital age, exposure to these digital devices and their blue light will only continue to increase. Eventually, exposure to such light builds up and damages the eyes' retinal cells, causing them to die. In some instances, retinal cell death leads right into macular degeneration.
Blue Light's Glaring And Flickering
Blue light has remarkably short, high-energy waves. These short blue light wavelengths are commonly referred to as High-Energy Visible (HEV) waves. They tend to flicker quite easily compared to wavelengths that are comparably longer and weaker. Such flickering produces a glare that diminishes clarity, sharpness and contrasts. Many attribute the rise in headaches and eye strains to the growing use of digital devices that produce blue light. The bottom line is that our eyes' filters are not capable of providing enough protection against the sun's blue light. Add in all of the blue light produced by electronic devices and there is an undeniable problem.
Loss Of Vision
Extensive exposure to the sun, fluorescent lights and electronic devices can cause retinal damage. As noted above, this damage can lead into macular degeneration. Macular degeneration has the potential to cause blindness.

From helping launch over 1300 customer payloads into orbit, to developing a platform that streams new space ideas, building websites for space brands, creating the first online space apps powered by live data from the Sun and designing brand logos on the space station – Martin’s work with clients in Houston, DC, Abu Dhabi and Europe has produced a number of firsts.
His aim is to continue supporting the movement to democratize space access for future generations around the world. Helping efforts to build space infrastructure, utilize in-space resources, develop the technology and manufacturing processes they’ll need to build, and thrive in, the first citizen space stations around the solar system. Starting with Starlab.
Martin believes putting space into the hands of the many rather than the few will provide his children, and yours, with more freedom to launch their stuff and do what they want in space – to better monitor changes on Earth, mitigate space debris, explore, experiment, test, tinker, create and have fun in space while they find their way through to the rest of their Universe.
