Bioinformatics has become an important part of many areas of biology.
In experimental molecular biology, bioinformatics techniques such as image and signal
processing allow extraction of useful results from large amounts of
raw data. In the field of genetics and genomics, it aids in sequencing and annotating
genomes and their observed mutations. It plays a role in the text
mining of biological literature and the development of biological and gene ontologies to
organize and query biological data. It also plays a role in the analysis of gene and
expression and regulation. Bioinformatics tools aid in the
comparison of genetic and genomic data and more generally in the understanding
of evolutionary aspects of molecular biology. By using bioinformatics tools DNA sequencing,
assembly, Genome annotation, Computational phylogenetics, Comparative genomics,
genomics, Genetics of disease, Oncogenomics, gene and protein
expression, analysis of cellular organization and protein structure
prediction can be studied.


You might remember I played around with Kicad a few months ago and made this tacky little thing. Just about 2 1/2 weeks ago I went onto DirtyPCB to get them actually made. I wanted to have gone through the production process and get something built before I started doing more complicated projects.
Unfortunately I discovered a little mistake with the design in the layout that ended up at the manufacturer (Rev 3.1). I tried to fix them but Rev 3.2 didn't make it in time, which means my boards will be a bit more complicated to power. However not too complicated as the power-in are just throughholes so I can actually strap anything behind it to power it.
But without further a due, here is the result from DirtyPCB (which I am actually quite impressed with).
Now, I'm new to all of this so I started doing beep-tests on the pads to make sure things were properly connected and all the boards passed them. The production quality is pretty good. Unfortunately I can't start assembling them yet just because none of the parts I ordered for them have arrived yet. The manufacture and shipping of the boards actually beat the shipping of off-the-shelf parts!
Anyways, I'm kinda excited. First time making an electronics project. I might post another update on when the parts arive and post a few gifs of the finished products. If I don't I'll probably tweet about it though.
Now, I have another smaller electronics project in the making where I am, again, waiting for parts to arrive to do some testing. And already designing a modular PCB board. (Limited a bit with the 10x10cm limitations on DirtyPCB I need to design my project in a way that I can take a bunch of smaller panels and stick them together into a large one, which would take hundreds of dollars to make elsewhere).
Anyways, enough ramblings. Read you later.
Right...so after tinkering with the bauble a bit I found out a few things. The most important one being that I made some mistakes. Some big ones :)
- Pin 9 of the shift register was connected to both input A and input B of the XOR gate. Which meant that both inputs were always the same...which also meant that the output was always 0.
- The 555-timer clock ran at several hundred kilohertz. I had to change the capacitor down to ~12µF and the resistors to ~4.7 ohms.
- The coin-cell battery didn't have enough juice to run it. Two had to be put in parallel. Even then, two batteries would not be able to run for very long.
To make the bauble work I bridget the xor gate completely, so just feeding back the shift register end to the beginning.
In addition to those things some of the LED's sometimes didn't work. I'm not sure if that is due to broken shift registers, traces or LEDs. All in all I do consider it to have tought me quite a lot about electronics, going through the process of producing a PCB and debugging electronics once it arrived and inevidably goes wrong :)
I am currently in the process of redesigning the entire circuite from scratch. And making it easier to solder. I want to make it into a beginner soldering kit that people can both learn how to solder with and also have something to hang off their christmas tree in the jolly season.

This research and practice compendium works to question the ways in which relationships with digital objects and digital selves are being naturalized, and more specifically, what is to be done with the dead-digital-data-body the profiles and myriad of accounts created by users accumulated over the span of a digital life? These points will be interrogated, asked in ways that bring to light the tensions present as society undergoes a quintessential moment of technogenesis, or the co-evolution between technologies and humans. I will work to narrow an understanding of this hyper-evolution to that of a moment of micro-technogenesis; which could describe the observed major change in usage and interaction with mobile phone/smart phone technologies. Micro-technogenesis can also be used to define our heightened personal technology access and deeply developed relationships with digital space/digital time on a relatively short time-scale. The process of micro-technogenesis has acclimated us to the terms of digital interaction faster than has been acknowledged. Technogenesis, micro-technogenesis, and digital time/digital space will be discussed in specific and illusory terms as a way of setting the stage for a hyper hypothetical research discussion on digital legacy. I use Facebook as an example of a digital space that utilizes many modes of digital time in order to extend the relationships between digital objects and active human users, which complicates and opens new ways of understanding quickly expanding possibilities for digital existence. Additionally, I will provide examples of performed experience based installations that I have developed as part of my art making practice, which have helped to contextualize my research and act as experiments in methodology.


If the Wi-Fi signal is not present in every room of your home, the reason for this is not always the quality of the Wi-Fi router, nor where it is placed. Even with a strong signal, the distance or number of obstacles (such as walls and objects) can be such that when the signal reaches that room it is already weakened.
You could ask a technician to extend a network cable from your router to the farthest rooms, thus connecting your devices directly, or create new wireless access points. However, this is a lot of work and is often expensive.
A simple way to solve this problem is to use signal repeaters. The repeater is nothing more than a device that receives the signal from the router and amplifies it, transmitting it again and extending its range. Some repeaters work by receiving the signal over the wireless network, while others work by using electrical wiring to transmit the signal from one location to another, where it can again be transmitted via Wi-Fi.
The first scene shows a man in a living room using a laptop. He gets up and goes to another room. In this scene, the following phrase appears: "Wi-Fi works here."
In the second scene, the character seems upset and pensive, because the Wi-Fi does not reach the room he is in. In this scene, the following phrase appears: "But not here."
In the third scene, in the same room, a Wi-Fi repeater appears that plugs into the socket. In this scene, the following phrase appears: "Use Wi-Fi repeaters."
In the fourth scene, the character sits in the chair with his laptop and the Wi-Fi works. In this scene, the following phrases appear: "They expand the signal and are easy to use" and "Expand the reach of your Internet connection."

In this fast-paced technological era, electronic devices have become indispensable parts of our daily lives, including smartphones, computers, tablets, and smart home appliances. To ensure these devices continue to operate at their best, regular software updates play a pivotal role. This blog post delves into the reasons why consistent software updates are crucial for device performance.
First and foremost, prioritizing software updates is vital for improving device security as cybercriminals constantly evolve their tactics. They continuously search for vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to devices and personal data. However, software developers are equally proactive, working tirelessly to patch these security loopholes. By applying regular updates, you can rest assured that your device is equipped with the latest security protocols, thus protecting you from potential threats.
No software is perfect, and even well-designed applications may have bugs or performance issues. Consequently, software updates address these flaws, providing essential bug fixes and performance enhancements that significantly improve the overall stability and speed of your device. By keeping your device's software up to date, you can enjoy a smoother and more reliable user experience.
As technology advances, developers introduce innovative features that enhance the functionality and user experience of your devices. However, it is important to note that these new features may require the latest software version to run efficiently. By staying current with software updates, you can take full advantage of these new functionalities and experience the latest improvements offered by your device.
Another compelling reason to prioritize regular software updates is their potential to prolong the lifespan of your device. As software evolves, developers optimize it for improved resource management and efficiency. This optimization significantly reduces unnecessary strain on your device's hardware components. Consequently, the longevity of your device is extended, saving you from the need to replace it prematurely.
Furthermore, as operating systems and software continue to evolve, older versions may become incompatible with the latest applications and services. Consequently, regular updates ensure that your device remains compatible with new apps and services, enabling you to access the latest developments in the digital world. Staying up to date also enables you to receive better customer support and assistance from developers in case you encounter issues.
Maintaining the optimal performance of your devices requires regular software updates. From ensuring robust security measures to improving overall functionality and compatibility, updating your device's software is a vital aspect of responsible device ownership. Neglecting software updates can leave your device vulnerable to security breaches, reduce its performance, and limit access to new features and services.
Make it a habit to check for software updates regularly or enable automatic updates if possible. By doing so, you not only protect your device and data but also maximize its potential, ultimately enhancing your overall digital experience. Embrace the power of regular software updates and witness the positive impact they have on your device's performance and longevity.


Should you choose old technology and choose a heavy lead-acid motorcycle battery? Or choose the newer lighter lithium-ion battery technology? There are many benefits of a lithium-ion battery over a traditional lead-acid.

HOW TO TEST YOUR BATTERY WITH A SIMPLE VOLTMETER:
Good quality lithium-ion batteries are lighter, smaller, charge faster, hold their charge longer, last longer overall, have better warranties, & have more cold cranking amps. They are however more expensive than a lead acid, but the cost may be well worth it. On average a lithium-ion battery costs 30% more than a lead-acid.
Lithium-ion batteries are generally much smaller than lead-acid. For this reason, make certain upon purchase that it will fit your motorcycle. Many sellers of lithium-ion batteries will put the battery in a "stock case" for your brand/model motorcycle. That means that they'll make it the same size as your stock lead-acid battery so it will fit perfectly in the battery compartment of your Harley-Davidson as an example. If you choose to buy the smaller size lithium-ion it may bounce around in your large battery compartment. Many come with shims so you can try to wedge the battery in to keep it from moving around. My recommendation is to get a lithium-ion battery with the correct case size for your application.
When purchasing a lithium-ion, also be aware of the terminal placement such as side or top to make sure it will work with your application. Again, this is why I bought a direct replacement lithium-ion made for my Harley Street Glide that has everything the same as my lead-acid.
Lithium-ion batteries often have more cold cranking amps (CCA) and that means more powerful starts. As an example, the Twin Power Lithium Ion Battery -DLFP30HL-BS-H I bought has 625 CCA, whereas a typical lead-acid for a Harley will have 400-500 CCA.
The first possible drawback to a lithium-ion is that if you let it fall to below 11 volts by accidentally leaving your headlight as an example, you may permanently damage the battery. Whereas, a lead-acid in good shape could be charged and likely recover.
The second drawback, not really in my opinion, to a lithium-ion motorcycle battery, is that if you leave your motorcycle out in temperatures below freezing for an extended period of time, you'll have to "wake" the battery to get it cycling. This is easily done by turning your headlight on for a short period or bumping the starter a few times. Once awake, you lithium-ion goes to work fast and gives you those cold cranking amps.
I tested my lithium-ion battery by placing it in my freezer for a bit over two hours at 12 degrees Fahrenheit. I tested it on my Harley and it fired right up and the battery never went to sleep. That tells me that you'd need to have your bike in the below-freezing temps for some time before it would go to sleep. Again, easily overcome by just bumping your starter or turning your headlight on to wake it.
An upside is that Lithium-ion batteries don't really need to be on a battery tender all winter like a lead-acid as they only lose about 10% of their charge a year while sitting. Whereas, a lead-acid battery loses 1% per day. Just remove the negative battery terminal on your lithium-ion battery when storing your motorcycle & you're good to go. Then, just charge it up and top it off before riding season. In contrast, you should keep your lead-acid on a battery tender while you park and/or store your motorcycle for any length of time to greatly increase its lifespan.

Fixed Power Adapter
**Warning** - Installation of this product must be performed by a qualified experienced electrician.
A low cost package called a Fixed Power Adapter allows the sensors to be mounted permanently in the electrical box with a water-tight connection on the side of the electrical box for attachment of a small plug-in radio for wireless communication to a PC base station.
The Fixed Power Adapter Sensor uses two current probes that consist of toroidal secondary transformer coils that are permanently installed surrounding the leftmost and rightmost wires that feed power to the motor. The two current transformers are isolated by double insulation from the motor power. Three voltage leads are connected directly to the terminals on the downstream side of each of the three fuses and fed to the permanent connector pins through a resistance of 664 Kohms. At 480 Volts RMS, the RMS current is limited to 0.72 mA to ground, which is a safe value.
Permanent installation of the current and voltage sensors within the electrical switch box and connecting the corresponding wires to the external feed-through mounted on the side of the switch box insures increased safety of the Wireless Power Current Voltage Transducer and allows a field technician who may not be a licensed electrician to attach the Wireless Transmitter to the external connector without having to open the electrical switch box.

Just a few things Jerry has been installing to control the voltage on the boat.
First he installed a volt meter to check the condition for the 24 volt batteries on the deep freezer that we installed last year. We have not had really any problems, but sometimes it dose run all night, so this is just a way to make sure it is charging.
Second he tried to install a 110 volt meter to monitor shore power, but unfortunately upon installation it got a short and burned up. This was the main one we wanted do to the power problems the docks have once in a while. Either there will be a total power surge or sometimes it is low voltage, like 50 volts. This has caused us some problems with some of our electronics, i.e. it messed up our television.

[fa icon="calendar"] June 04, 2020 / by Home Services Expert
Electricity is one of the basic utilities of your home. Many homeowners take their electricity for granted; however, problems can arise from time to time. Since you depend on your electricity to power your kitchen, your computer, your internet, and your TV, you probably want Chico electricians to fix any issues that arise as quickly as possible. With this in mind, there are a few common electrical problems that an electrician in Chico can fix. Keeping an eye open for these issues ahead of time can help you spot them faster, ensuring they are repaired efficiently.
Frequent Surges of Electricity
This is one of the most common electrical problems you might notice around the home. These surges can result from anything ranging from damaged power lines during a storm to direct lightning strikes and even faulty appliances. While an actual electric surge might only last for a short period of time, if the surges become more frequent, this can seriously damage the electrical components tied to the home, reducing their life expectancy. The culprit of a frequent electrical surge is usually a device connected to the home grid. Think about unplugging electrical devices and then plugging them back in one at a time to try to find the culprit. If this doesn’t work, you should call a professional electrician in Chico.
Light Switches Aren’t Working
Another common electrical problem that you might have around the home is a light switch that doesn’t seem to work quite right. Often, this is related to poor workmanship or products that simply weren’t made right. One of the most common times someone notices light switches that don’t work is when they first move into a new house. While the issue could be that the fixtures have been removed and simply need to be replaced, there could also be a problem with the way the switches have been wired. This is where a professional Chico electrician can help.
The Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping
Another common electrical problem is that the circuit breaker keeps tripping. This can happen when there are too many devices that have been plugged into the grid. The circuit breaker is designed to protect you from an electrical overload that could otherwise lead to electrocution or a house fire.
If the circuit breaker keeps tripping, this is a sign that there is too much demand being placed on the electrical circuit. Look at what you are using when the circuit breaker trips. If you cannot figure out what it is (or if the circuit breaker keeps tripping), then you should call Chico electricians for help.
There Is a Circuit Overload
If you notice that your circuit breaker keeps tripping, another possible cause is that there is something drawing power from the circuit that you might not notice. Most newer homes don’t have enough power points to overload the circuit; however, this can still happen from time to time. If your circuit is overloaded, remember never to daisy-chain power boards together, as this can lead to a circuit overload.
In addition, remove devices when they aren’t being used (such as phone chargers that continue to use power even when not plugged into a phone). Finally, always spread your outlets around. Never overload a single circuit. This can make it easier to keep the circuit breaker from overloading. If you cannot find the cause, it is time for you to call a professional for help.
Why Call a Professional Chico Electrician?
If you have noticed that you are having electrical issues around the house, then you should call a professional Chico electrician for help. There are a few reasons why. These include:
- Calling a professional Chico electrician will save you a lot of time. Remember that an electrician does this job for a living. They can handle these jobs faster than you can.
- In addition, an electrician has the expertise necessary to get the job done correctly the first time. Instead of trying to install a temporary fix, trust an electrician to fix the problem for good.
- Furthermore, calling an electrician will actually save money. if the job is performed incorrectly by someone without experience, this will lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
- Finally, the most important reason why you should call a professional electrician in Chico is safety concerns. Electricity is dangerous and you should trust someone who knows how to work with these wires safely.
These are the most important reasons why you should call professional Chico electricians for help.
Professionals Can Address Common Electrical Home Problems in Chico
If you are experiencing electrical problems in your home, it is important to call Chico electricians as quickly as possible. The sooner these problems are addressed, the faster they will be fixed.

Hearing aids are an extremely useful tool in modern audiology. People with hearing disabilities use them to improve their hearing and avoid issues in their day-to-day lives. But how can such a small device make such a big impact? This video explains the basics of how a hearing aid works.
Hearing aids generally have two microphones that pick up the sounds in the environment. The sound travels through an analog-digital converter, or ADC, which transforms the analog sound into a digital signal. The digital signal is then processed by a computer chip. Pretty high-tech!
The computer chips are calibrated to the specific hearing of the individual wearer. Some people can hear low frequencies excellently, but are nearly deaf to higher frequencies. And some people are the exact opposite, and many more are somewhere in between. Hearing aids need to be high-tech to help all of these people with different hearing deficiencies.
If you’re thinking that this process must take awhile, think again! The entire process only takes a few milliseconds to complete. The wearer will not have any lag time between the sounds they are surrounded by and the sounds sent to their ear by the hearing aid.
For more information, check out the video above.

COLOR DURING QUARENTINE
A superb work-around when your team isn't together during Covid
The credit-card–sized tool made of laminated paper board calibrates a phone’s camera to capture color in real time from anything (using a dual measurement with flash and ambient light), and automatically syncs it with a color from across Pantone’s spectrum of systems. The Pantone Connect mobile app then saves captured colors into palettes for sharing with team members or working within the Pantone Connect Extension app for Adobe products.
“While designers have previously taken photos with their phone to capture Pantone colors from images, the results were more inspirational vs. accurate,” says Nick Bazarian, Senior Product Manager for Pantone Digital Solutions. “A designer’s phone has now become a legitimate color capture device to match the physical world more accurately to Pantone Colors, as well as a workflow productivity tool to shorten the color communication process.”
The cards are available to purchase in single units for $14.99, or team bundles of 25 for $300. As part of Pantone’s COVID-19 initiative launched in April, Pantone Connect accounts are also still free through July 8.
The company plans to continue to expand the platform through 2020 and 2021, delving deeper into the Adobe Creative Cloud suite as well as providing connection to color devices from X-Rite, Pantone and others.
Accurate color matching may seem like a low priority in the face of a global pandemic, but as quarantine continues, smart (and affordable) solutions will continue to be needed to upgrade creative professionals’ home offices so they can produce at the levels they used to, pre-COVID.


In the global electronic sector, the PCB business has the highest return on investment and is also crucial for the creation of electronic data products. The global PCB industry’s yield value decreased slightly by 1.5% on a year-over-year basis in 2019, as a result of a number of factors, to US$62.7 billion. Despite COVID-19’s impact on the industry, 5G’s rapid development has allowed the PCB industry to expand. Global PCB yield is expected to reach 61.5 billion US dollars in 2020 and 79.7 billion US dollars in 2025.
The printed circuit board (PCB) industry is a vital sector of the electronic data item manufacturing sector and the sector with the highest global result value. PCB is used in a variety of products, from household appliances to tools for maritime exploration. No matter how many electrical components there are, PCBs are necessary for support and connections between them.
In 2019, the value of PCB yields globally decreased significantly.
The global PCB yield value was US$62.35 billion, a modest decrease of 1.9% from US$62.4 billion in every 2018, due to profession gratings, a decline in terminal interest, and conversion scale deterioration. The main application for PCBs is in mobile devices. Due to three consecutive lengthy drops in cell phone shipments, the overall decline in global PCB results can still be kept up within a narrow range. Additionally, the pre-5G framework is a crucial issue. With an upsurge in industrial automation companies., PCB demand has returned.
The primary application area is in communication electronics.
Most PCB market segments, according to the application perspective, also experienced a decline in 2019, but interest in foundation applications, such as 5G organizations and servers, continued with the growth pattern in 2018, with the result being an increase in the value of the server and data storage year over year. An increase of 3.3%; 29.3% of the global PCB yield value was accounted for by the PC sector, which includes servers and data storage.
However, in general, communication electronics continues to be the primary application area for the PCB industry, accounting for 35.0% of the global PCB application market in 2019.
The value output scale should continue to increase.
Even though the COVID-19 halted the development of 5G in 2020, countries are still engaged in a 5G arms race. While the epidemic is ravaging, nations are monitoring the pestilence’s advancement through technological progress and have predicted the turning point for industries, such as 5G, cloud, and AI. Future computerized life scenarios have already begun, including remote education, sophisticated diagnosis and treatment, and contemporary AI for gambling control. 5G is still a crucial main thrust for the development of the modern economy in terms of the overall pattern of improvement in 2020.The estimated global PCB yield esteem growth rate for 2020 is predicted to be 2%, with a result esteem scale of roughly 62.5 billion US dollars. The global PCB yield value is anticipated to increase between 2020 and 2025 at an average annual growth rate of about 5%. The estimated global PCB yield value in 2025 is close to US$80 billion. The demand for pcb repair services has expanded along with the use of PCB.


Spaceflight has adverse effects on the human body that pose health risks to astronauts spending extended time in space missions. For clinical monitoring of astronauts and for in-flight biomedical research, laboratory instruments must be available in the spaceflight environment. Currently, no instrument has been shown to be capable of generating a white blood cell (WBC) count and differential during spaceflight to our knowledge, although this is a medical requirement of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). We evaluated a compact hematology analyzer for compatibility with a zero-gravity environment. We performed analyses in reduced-gravity during parabolic flight. Herein, we describe our engineering evaluation and report the reduced-gravity validation data we collected. The hematology analyzer we tested met the basic requirements for use in spaceflight and should be capable of accurately measuring WBC parameters aboard the International Space Station.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Continuous Glucose Monitoring is an advanced way for people living with diabetes to check glucose readings in real-time or monitor glucose readings over a period of time. By using a continuous glucose monitor, your CGM system will automatically receive glucose readings every 5 minutes allowing you to fingerstick less often. CGM can be used with or without an insulin pump.
What is Smart CGM?
Smart CGM predicts future high and low sensor glucose events up to 60 minutes in advance and provides access to additional algorithms and insights that can inform you of clinically relevant glucose patterns.
What is Professional CGM?
Professional CGM is used by your healthcare provider and captures up to 288 glucose readings each day for up to six days and creates a personalized report that can help you better understand the cause and effect of your glucose variability.
How does CGM work?
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems track glucose levels throughout the day. CGM users insert a tiny sensor wire just under their skin using an automatic applicator. An adhesive patch holds the CGM sensor housing in place so the sensor can measure glucose readings in interstitial fluid throughout the day and night.


Children’s Health is working with a company to develop software that displays holograms of the heart, in addition to using 3D printing, to advance cardiac care. The 3D technology used in the software will also be used to prepare surgeons and industry peers as well as teach parents about their child’s condition.
Children’s Health and Canada-based NGRAIN has started employing 3D mapping to create interactive virtual models of the heart to help plan for surgeries and other procedures. 3D mapping enables highly customized imaging specific to each patient’s diagnosis. According to Dr. Tarique Hussain, pediatric cardiologist at Children’s Health, 3D visualization is used when there is a “difficult procedure, and the surgical decision-making is difficult. This kind of 3D planning really helps.” In addition to aiding the procedure, using 3D imaging reduces the amount of radiation a patient needs in the planning process and increases the accuracy of the procedure overall.
The 3D mapping procedure involves two steps: first is obtaining pictures of the heart through CT, MRI, or echocardiography. Second, the photos are scanned through dedicated software to depict those images in a 3D format. Hussain says “the format can either be a 3D TV image for planning purposes or an actual model printed in 3D.”
The key to an accurate 3D model is to ensure that the images are of high quality. After 3D imaging is complete, the model can be used to plan the procedure and show families in 360 degrees what will be taking place during surgery; afterward, the models can be used for further training others in the hospital.
These advances in cardiothoracic surgery and trans-catheter interventions through 3D printing and 3D visualization allow health professionals to do more to help children with complex heart defects. Hussain, Dr. Tom Zellers from Children’s Health, and Dr. Shaq Qureshi from London have exemplified this by working on a catheterization procedure for a heart defect called sinus venosus defect.
When the doctors realized 3D imaging could be used to print the heart defect and a model stent could be placed, the 3D technology allowed for a minimally invasive technique to resolve this issue.
“For a lot of these cases, we would be able to deal with the defect without doing surgery,” Hussain said. “It’s a novel procedure and the 3D printing gave us the confidence that the procedure would work.” Qureshi has performed three of these procedures in London utilizing this technique, while Zellers has performed one at Children’s Health and is in the planning stages for another.
In addition to the 3D displays, Children’s Health has gained access to four 3D printers through its own hospital, UT Southwestern, and UT Dallas. Currently, Dr. Gerald Greil and Dr. Animesh Tandon are researching and spearheading the charge to determine what the impact is on outcomes for surgeons who use 3D models prior to operating.
In the future, Hussain envisions 3D visualization to become more important, with people using 3D TV and 3D holographics to plan procedures and review the imaging in multidisciplinary meetings.
“It will change the way doctors discuss the cases—moving from 2D imaging to 3D TV and eventually to 3D holograms of the heart,” he said.

This guy brando has a very good taste for USB gadgets, and this time I am picking up one of the coolest gadgets from his collection. Yes, it is the USB LED fan, which will keep you really cool this summer. The USB powered fan has 5 colours LEDs flash continuously with 32 different light patterns. It has Independent On/Off switch for both fan and LED. You can even rotate the fans direction around 360 degrees. I like it very much, because it keeps you cool and those psychedelic lights can give your room a great look at night.
I am very quick in changing my cell phone as I cannot resist the temptation to buy a phone that is better than the one that I am using…! The only problem with the approach (after spending too much on it) is that I loose all my phone numbers and my addresses and I have to go looking for some of my friends to get their numbers once again. Well now I am a bit happy as Brando’s USB Phonebook has come to rescue me. This USB Phonebook can be connected to a cell phone via a USB interface and it copies all your address and phone numbers. So next time you get a new phone just copy the contacts from the USB Phonebook to the phone…! All that you will have to spend is just $20. That’s cool…! May be I buy a new phone today…!
You all might be having a tendency to lean forward or backward while on your computer for a long time. This little gadget known as Visiomate has been developed by a company called Brando. The device can be connected to the USB port of your computer and can warn you when you lean forward or backwards. It has an LED which is Blue if you are sitting in a good position. If your head leans forward or too close to the monitor then the LED sounds an alarm and also turns Red. The device is good to prevent any back problems and considering a $26 price tag, I guess this can be afforded by all.
This is the most wired gadget I have seen until date. This white piggy is actually a card reader that supports almost all card formats (SD, CF, XD, MS, Mini SD, T-flash/Micro SD). Moreover, it has four slots to feed various Nokia 808 Mobile and is compatible with Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP. I must say that this plug and play device offers you with an easy method to transfer the data, – there is no point in spending extra cash for just a pig shape if you can get the same functions in a simpler device.
This is something every self- appraised geek ought to encompass a USB Plasma Ball. Although the Plasma ball is not anything new, this one is unusual as it is USB-based. While you are feeling fed up you can always look at the flashes between the center of and the edge of the ball. Lay a hand on the surface of the 3″ ball and blue flashes of lightning will welcome you. With the boss around, you can utilize the on / off switch. To be deficient in the escalation, other worthless accessories of the USB, Brando opted for providing to a usual ball of the plasma the connectivity of the USB that did not ever yearn for. For $16,99, the capability of terrifying to your colleagues and members of the light family with an interactive show who have thought that the dozens of times are within your grasping! Hey, at least the base is not aligned with the LED blue. Read


Austenitemeter – Portable Mössbauer spectrometer for rapid and nondestructive determination of austenite content
In this talk, we will describe an application of Mössbauer spectroscopy for determination of the austenite content in steels. This nuclear analytical method enables rapid determination of the austenite in the sample, i.e. within 10–20 min with sufficient accuracy. The standard regime of the analysis allows determining an austenite-to-ferrite ratio with high precision after several hours or a few days of measurement for laboratory research or quality control purposes. Backscattering Mössbauer spectroscopy allows nondestructive material analysis for the study of both large and small samples and can quantify the relative amount of the austenite and ferrite phases based on their totally different magnetic properties in a way, which is relatively independent of the shape, size, and orientation of the particles. One can “see” iron atoms, which have a different neighbourhood of alloying elements in the material.

In the meantime, owners of large public venues (like sports stadiums) can now test out the Artemis technology for themselves, by testing an Artemis I Hub and antenna combination in a trial arrangement with the company. Announced last year, Artemis’ pCell technology claims to solve two of the biggest problems in wireless networking, namely bandwidth congestion and antenna interference, by turning much of the current technology thinking on its head. If the revolutionary networking idea from longtime entrepreneur Steve Perlman pans out, stadium networks in particular could become more robust while also being cheaper and easier to deploy.
In a phone interview with Mobile Sports Report prior to Tuesday’s announcement, Perlman said Artemis expects to get FCC approval for its pCell-based wireless service sometime in the next 6 months. When that happens, Artemis will announce pricing for its cellular service, which will work with most existing LTE phones by adding in a SIM card provided by Artemis. Phones with dynamic SIMs like some of the newer devices from Apple, Perlman said, will be able to simply choose the Artemis service without having to add in a card.
Though he wouldn’t announce pricing yet, Perlman said Artemis services would be less expensive than current cellular plans. He said that there will likely be an option for local San Francisco service only, and another that includes roaming ability on other providers’ cellular networks for use outside the city.
More proof behind the yet-untasted pudding
When Perlman, the inventor of QuickTime and WebTV, announced Artemis and its pCell technology last year, it was met with both excitement — for its promise of delivering faster, cheaper wireless services — and no shortage of skepticism, about whether it would ever become a viable commercial product. Though pCell’s projected promise of using cellular interference to produce targeted, powerful cellular connectivity could be a boon to builders of large public-venue networks like those found in sports stadiums, owners and operators of those venues are loath to build expensive networks on untested, unproven technology. So it’s perhaps no surprise that Artemis has yet to name a paying customer for its revolutionary networking gear.But being able to name names and talk about spectrum deals are steps bringing Artemis closer to something people can try, and perhaps buy. VenueNext, the application development firm behind the San Francisco 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium app, confirmed that it is testing Artemis technology, and the San Francisco network will provide Perlman and Artemis with a “beta” type platform to test and “shake out the system” in a live production environment.
“We need to be able to move quickly, get feedback and test the network,” said Perlman about Artemis’ decision to run its own network first, instead of waiting for a larger operator to implement it. “We need to be able to move at startup speed.”
For stadium owners and operators, the more interesting part of Tuesday’s news may be the Artemis I Hub, a device that supports up to 32 antennas, indoor for now with outdoor units due later this year. The trial testing will allow venue owners and operators to kick the tires on pCell deployment and performance on their own, instead of just taking Artemis’ word for it. Artemis also has published a lengthy white paper that fleshes out the explanation of their somewhat radical approach to cellular connectivity, another step toward legitimacy since publishing such a document publicly means that Artemis is confident of its claims.
If networking statistics from recent “big” stadium events are any barometer, the field of stadium networking may need some significant help soon since fans are lately using way more data than ever before, including the 13+ Gigabytes of traffic at the Super Bowl in Phoenix and the 6+ GB figure from the college football playoff championship game. To Perlman, the idea of trying to use current Wi-Fi and cellular technology to address a crowded space doesn’t make sense.
“You simply cannot use interfering technology in a situation where you have closely packed transmitters,” said Perlman. “You just can’t do it.”
Artemis explainedIf you’re unfamiliar with the Artemis idea, at its simplest level it’s a new idea in connecting wireless devices to antennas that — if it works as advertised — turns conventional cellular and Wi-Fi thinking on its head. What Perlman and Artemis claim is that they have developed a way to build radios that transmit signals “that deliberately interfere with each other” to establish a “personal cell,” or pCell, for each device connecting to the network.
Leaving the complicated math and physics to the side for now, if Artemis’ claims hold true their technology could solve two of the biggest problems in wireless networking, namely bandwidth congestion and antenna interference. In current cellular and Wi-Fi designs, devices share signals from antenna radios, meaning bandwidth is reduced as more people connect to a cellular antenna or a Wi-Fi access point. Adding more antennas is one way to solve congestion problems; but especially in stadiums and other large public venues, you can’t place antennas too close to each other, because of signal interference.
The Artemis pCell technology, Perlman said, trumps both problems by delivering a centimeter-sized cell of coverage to each device, which can follow the device as it moves around in an antenna’s coverage zone. Again, if the company’s claims hold true of being able to deliver full bandwidth to each device “no matter how many users” are connected to each antenna, stadium networks could theoretically support much higher levels of connectivity at possibly a fraction of the current cost.
The next step in Artemis’ evolution will be to see if (or how well) its technology works in the wild, where everyday users can subject it to the unplanned stresses that can’t be tested in the lab. With any luck and FCC willing, we won’t have to wait another year for the next chapter to unfold.


Integrated security systems represent a concerted effort to streamline and bolster the security measures within an organisation or property. At the heart of this concept lies the integration of various security components such as Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, access control and alarms into a unified framework. This integration is orchestrated by physical security specialists or security integrators, with the primary goal of creating a comprehensive security solution that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
A fundamental advantage of integrated security systems is the holistic security approach they promote. By integrating CCTV, access control, and alarms, a multi-layered security strategy is forged, making it significantly more challenging for criminals to breach the protective measures in place. CCTV cameras play a pivotal role in real-time monitoring, offering a watchful eye over premises and enabling swift responses to security incidents with visual cues. Their integration into the security infrastructure amplifies the surveillance capabilities, deterring potential threats and providing an enhanced level of vigilance.
Gates, on the other hand, serve as a physical barrier to control access and ensure perimeter security. They act as the first line of defence against unauthorised access, with integrated systems enhancing their functionality by allowing for real-time monitoring and control. Alarms further augment the security matrix by triggering alerts in the event of unauthorised access or other security threats. The synergy between these components under a centralised control system augments the efficiency and effectiveness of the security measures in place.
The rising security concerns in today’s world underscore the importance of a robust and responsive security infrastructure. Integrated security systems address these concerns by offering a more comprehensive coverage, improved data management, and a customised security solution tailored to address specific security concerns of a property. A unified framework not only simplifies management but also significantly elevates the level of security, providing a robust shield against a myriad of security threats. Through a lens of enhanced monitoring, access control, and swift alert systems, integrated security systems epitomise a modern, efficient, and highly effective approach to security management.
As the spectre of security threats looms larger, the adoption of integrated security systems emerges as a prudent strategy to navigate the complex security landscape. They encapsulate a forward-thinking approach to security, aligning with the evolving threat dynamics and offering a solid foundation to build a secure and resilient environment.
Holistic Security and Enhanced Monitoring
The modern security landscape is complex, necessitating a comprehensive approach to ensure the safety of both assets and individuals. A comprehensive security approach, underpinned by the integration of CCTV, access control, and alarms, serves as a robust defence mechanism against a myriad of security threats. This integrated approach amalgamates the unique benefits brought forth by each component, creating a synergistic security matrix that significantly bolsters overall security measures.
At the forefront of this integrated security model is the deployment of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras. These devices play a pivotal role in real-time monitoring, offering a visual vantage point to security personnel for continuous surveillance. Their presence serves as a deterrent to potential intruders, while their monitoring capabilities provide real-time alerts in the face of security breaches. The beauty of integration emerges when the CCTV systems are harmonised with other security components. For instance, the real-time monitoring capability of CCTV cameras can be linked with access control systems to promptly identify and respond to unauthorised access attempts, such as tailgating events, where one authorised person is closely followed by one or more unauthorised individuals.
Access control, epitomised by the deployment of locks, gates and related mechanisms, stands as the first line of defence against unauthorised access. It manages who goes in and out of a premise, ensuring that only authorised individuals gain entry. The integration of access control with CCTV systems creates a robust framework for monitoring and managing access, allowing for real-time event correlation and immediate response to unauthorised access attempts. When an unauthorised access attempt is detected, the integrated system can trigger alerts, activate cameras, and initiate appropriate actions such as locking doors or dispatching security personnel, thereby preventing unauthorised access from escalating into security incidents.
The integration further facilitates centralised monitoring, providing a unified view of access control events, video feeds, and alarms. This centralised approach simplifies monitoring, enables efficient incident management, and ensures that potential security threats are promptly identified, assessed, and addressed. Moreover, the integrated system streamlines security operations, reducing manual processes and enhancing the efficiency of security personnel by allowing them to manage access control, video surveillance, and alarms from a single interface. This serves to minimise the risk of human error, save time, and enhance the overall efficiency of the security setup.
Real-life scenarios further underscore the effectiveness of this integrated approach. For instance, an office building with an integrated security system that combines access control, CCTV cameras, and alarm systems can promptly respond to unauthorised access attempts. The moment an unauthorised access attempt triggers an alarm, the integrated system alerts security personnel, enabling a swift response to prevent further unauthorised entry. Similarly, retail stores and university campuses benefit immensely from integrated security systems, allowing for real-time monitoring, immediate response to security incidents, and enhanced overall security management.
Through the lens of holistic security and enhanced monitoring, the integration of CCTV, gates, and alarms unveils a modern, efficient, and highly effective strategy for managing security in today’s intricate safety landscape. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the prevailing security concerns but also lays a solid foundation for a secure and resilient environment, well-geared to navigate the evolving threat dynamics.
Cost-Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Ease of Management
Integrated security systems offer a slew of advantages over standalone ones, particularly in terms of cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and ease of management. By combining multiple security elements such as video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection into a single solution, integrated systems allow for more streamlined operations. They provide a more thorough solution for business protection, with all operations being more streamlined. Access control and video surveillance are usually managed through a single desktop or smartphone monitoring tool, with both hardware and software working in tandem to secure premises.
Integrated systems are easier to manage. Their seamless integration facilitates efficient operation, comprehensive coverage, and straightforward management. Usually, integrated systems can be accessed, monitored, and managed from a single program, which can help reduce false alarms among other benefits. This integration not only enables remote access and real-time monitoring but also expedites the identification and resolution of security incidents. Additionally, integrated systems are typically easier to update and maintain, and they allow for the identification of patterns and trends in a more efficient manner.
Cost-effectiveness is another significant benefit of integrated security systems. Although they may entail a higher upfront cost, they more than pay for themselves over time by improving the security and protection of the entire facility. The efficiency, protection, and extra benefits of integrated security systems contribute to these savings. For instance, the added protection and reduced liabilities offered by integrated systems might lead to savings on insurance premiums. The initial investment in security system integration and the ongoing maintenance are necessary investments for any facility, providing financial benefits in the long run.
In essence, the amalgamation of various security systems into an integrated one is not just a measure to enhance security but a smart move towards achieving operational efficiency, ease of management, and long-term asset management. Through a single interface, business owners or security personnel can have a bird’s eye view of all security aspects, ensuring a quick response to any security threats thereby justifying the initial investment in the integrated system.
Building Compliance and Evidence Gathering
Security systems play a crucial role in facilitating building compliance and evidence gathering. CCTV footage, for instance, is a pivotal resource in legal proceedings as it can provide clear evidence of incidents such as trespassing, theft, or other criminal activities. The recorded visual evidence helps in verifying events, identifying individuals involved, and establishing timelines essential for legal processes.
The alarm systems within integrated security setups are instrumental in alerting authorities during security breaches or other emergencies. When unauthorised access or other security threats are detected, alarms are triggered, notifying security personnel or local authorities, thereby ensuring a swift response to mitigate the threat. This rapid alert system not only bolsters the security posture but also aids in legal compliance by ensuring that necessary steps are taken to address evacuation requirements in accordance with the building codes and practices.
Integrated security systems provide structured frameworks for evidence collection, crucial for demonstrating compliance with building compliance, data protection and security standards. For instance, certain frameworks necessitate the collection of evidence to ensure businesses meet their compliance obligations. Integrated security systems help automate this process, ensuring timely evidence collection, well-documented, and easily retrievable for audits or inspections.
Integrated security systems, with their capabilities in real-time monitoring, alerting, and evidence collection, furnish a robust framework for building compliance and evidence gathering. By seamlessly blending various security components, they enable businesses to adhere to legal requirements, respond promptly to security threats, and ensure safe processes in an emergency event.


Hytera's DMR System provide reliable communications solution to St. Vincent's Hospital.'>
St. Vincent's Hospital
Hytera's DMR System provide reliable communications solution to St. Vincent's Hospital.
St. Vincent's Hospital is one of five medical facilities that are part of the St. Vincent's Health System in Birmingham, Alabama. Located on a sprawling campus surrounded by numerous multi-story buildings, the hospital faced new communications challenges when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandated migration to Narrow banding in 2013. The radio system in place at that time was unable to adequately handle the change, resulting in coverage gaps, signal loss, and interference between systems and frequencies caused by numerous separate repeaters. In addition, new HIPAA requirements regarding Patient Protective Information came into effect, addressing the security of the use of radios in direct patient care roles. St. Vincent's was looking for a cost-effective, scalable system that could be easily integrated into facilities that might be
acquired in the future.
To meet these challenges, Hytera dealer Falcon Wireless, recommended a cost-effective DMR digital system consisting of 30 PD782U handheld radios, 2 RD982U repeaters, and interfacing programming software. The move to digital and use of dual-slot programming would allow the facility to conform to the FCC Narrowbanding requirements. It would also double repeater capacity, improve coverage, and enhance operational capabilities with both voice and text messaging functions for group and individual communications.
Higher Spectrum Efficiency, Higher Channel Capacity
The TDMA technology allows twice the channels based on the same spectrum resource. This relieves the stress of increasing shortage in spectrum resource.
Besides the encryption inherent to digital technology, The PD7 Series radios provide enhanced encryption capabilities (such as 256-bit encryption algorithm). It has analog scrambling, and digital encryption using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and ARCFOUR (ARC4) encryption methodology to both voice and data.)
With the adoption of the AGC technology in combination with the application of narrowband codec and digital error correction technologies, The PD7 Series radios are capable of ensuring your voice is clear and crisp even in noisy environments or at the edge of the coverage area.
The PD7 Series radios allow for a user to signal an emergency situation by holding the dedicated emergency top key. The emergency signal can be programmed to be audible or silent and will be sent to the radio(s) that have been set to receive it.
50W High Power
Maximum repeating power of 50W, and thus increasing the system coverage with less setup equipment.
Since the initial implementation of the Hytera System, St. Vincent's Hospital has purchased additional equipment, and is currently using approximately 80 PD782U handhelds, 10 base/mobile units, and 2 RD982 repeaters. The facility is also in the process of integrating the very affordable Hytera PD362U handheld radios in areas that still require secure communications, but do not necessarily need all the functions of the PD782U radios. The new digital system allowed the establishment of a Digital Command system, as well as a Security Operations system, which provides uninterrupted communications with other analog devices on campus.
The reduced number of repeaters minimizes interference between frequencies, resulting in enhanced radio frequency isolation. Users have the ability to securely communicate patient care needs, meeting all HIPPA confidentiality and privacy requirements. Interfacing programming software allows radio reprogramming to be performed on site, significantly reducing operational costs. Dual- slot programming on each repeater results in decreased maintenance costs that are incurred with continuous 24/7 use.
Voice of the Customer
“We are well pleased with the Hytera radios and have no hesitation to recommend this product to others who may be seeking quality, features, and performance at an affordable price. The whisper mode is a big plus since this allows our patient transport personnel to keep noise levels to a minimum. The battery life is twice that of our [previous] radios, and everyone that has used them has commented on the audio quality.”
John Knight, Security System Technician at St. Vincent's Hospital


We envision building an optical processing chip that uses light propagation in optical waveguides to perform general mathematical operations such as vector multiplications and matrix-vector multiplications. These computations are the cornerstones for convolutional and deep neural networks.
The growth of machine learning and artificial intelligence has caused significant demand for more powerful computation devices that can process intensive amounts of data. As existing electronic computation chips are already struggling to meet that demand and are rapidly approaching their physical limits, we recognize that a paradigm shift in how we perform computation is needed. We believe that optical computation will be that paradigm shift.
We believe that optical computing can outperform current electronic computation because it solves the main problem therein: increased power cost of moving data in electronic chips. Current electronic chips cope with the computation demand by adding more computational elements which comes with increased energy consumption. Surprisingly, most of this energy consumption doesn’t occur within the computational elements but instead to move the data among the computational units and between these units and memory. This energy loss can be greatly improved via the use of photonic structures to perform computations and perform the transmission of data. Optical components have already dominated the area of data transmission between data centers and are well-positioned to solve the same problem within computing systems and within processing chips.
We address this challenge by having a highly qualified team of engineers and scientists bringing together the required experience in integrated photonics, CMOS electronics and AI computation. We are a portfolio company of TandemLaunch, who provides us with the necessary mentoring and strong experience in venture founding.

Understanding the size of particles in flow cytometry is important in a number of applications. FlowJo™ Software with the Rosetta Calibration plugin, along with the Rosetta Calibration product from Exometry enables calibrated size measurements of small spherical particles (<10 μm).
The plugin allows you to utilize FCS data captured from Rosetta Calibration beads to derive calibrated size measurements of small particles. The calculation itself is performed by Rosetta Calibration software that needs to be installed separately; please review the Rosetta Calibration manual and download the Rosetta Calibration software from https://www.exometry.com/products/rosetta-calibration (https://www.exometry.com/products/rosetta-calibration).
The Rosetta Calibration plugin provides integration between FlowJo 10 and Rosetta Calibration software. As a first step, this plugin needs to be invoked on a beads FCS file, which will invoke Rosetta Calibration software and return calibration details to FlowJo. These calibration details can then be applied to other FCS files within FlowJo (by dragging the Rosetta Calibration plugin node) to derive size measurements (e.g., particle diameter in nm) from traditional flow cytometry measurements such as side scatter. Below, we describe additional details of how to use the Rosetta Calibration plugin for FlowJo Version 10.6+.
After downloading the plugin, unzip the bundle and place the plugin JAR file into your FlowJo plugins folder, then restart FlowJo. Please see https://docs.flowjo.com/flowjo/plugins-2/installing-plugins/ for additional details on installing FlowJo plugins (note that the Rosetta Calibration Plugin does NOT use R and thus R does not need to be installed or configured for the Rosetta Calibration Plugin to work).
Rosetta Calibration software (available from https://www.exometry.com/products/rosetta-calibration) also needs to be installed in order for this plugin to work.
Step 1. Create the Rosetta Calibration plugin node
After placing the Rosetta plugin jar in the FlowJo plugins folder, start FlowJo and load your bead data file into the FlowJo workspace. Select your bead file and add the RosettaCalibration plugin.
The first time you use the plugin, you will be prompted to find the location of Rosetta Calibration software on your computer. On Windows, this location is the ‘.exe’ file in the application folder.
On Mac OS, this location is the Rosetta package in the application folder.
After you have chosen the location, the plugin will indicate that it is starting the Rosetta Calibration software, which may take a while the first time.
Step 2. Calibrate using the Rosetta Calibration application
When started from the plugin, Rosetta Calibration software recognizes the input file from FlowJo, as indicated in the status panel at the top.
You will use the application to perform the operations to Calibrate, Calculate, and then return to FlowJo, using the buttons in the top panels. For more information, please see https://www.exometry.com/download/Manual Rosetta Calibration v1.29.pdf
When the calibration calculation is complete, the ‘Return to FlowJo’ button is enabled, and clicking it will close Rosetta Calibration software and the new calibration lookup table is returned to FlowJo. You can double click on the plugin node in the FlowJo workspace to get additional information on the calibration operation.
Step 3. Apply the calibration to a new sample
Once the calibration table has been created, you can apply the calibration to a new data file by dragging the plugin node to another sample.
This will create new derived parameters on the sample that can be used for graphing, statistics, and further analysis using FlowJo’s tools
