The Future of Gaming is Mobile and Wearable
Over the last 20 years, the face of online gaming has changed dramatically. We’ve come a long way since the early online incarnations of 3-reel fruit machines and video poker. Thanks to advancements in technology, we now have games with incredible graphics, mind-blowing game mechanics, awesome sound effects and exciting in-game bonus rounds and missions to complete. One of the biggest changes, however, has been the shift from PC to mobile gaming. And with VR headsets on the horizon and smart watches already adorning the wrists of tech savvy consumers, video gaming looks set to become even more exciting and a whole lot more personal.
The smartphone and tablet changed the way we consume video games. We now have a level of convenience that was previously unheard of. Our mobile devices are capable of running video games without compromising quality or usability. HTML5 technology allows software providers to created games that are compatible with a wide variety of formats and that translate easily from large screen to small screen.
Online casinos, in particular, have benefited greatly from mobile gameplay. The casino industry has never been one to shy away from utilising new technology, and software companies have been quick on the uptake when it comes to updating and reformatting games to suit this new trend. Even live casino games are now fully compatible with mobile usage. Almost all the live casinos online at MrCasinova.com offer a mobile version of their site, or a casino app that can be downloaded, so it’s possible to log in and play a live casino game from anywhere that you happen to be – all you need is a decent internet connection.
VR headsets, as we’ve already mentioned, look set to become the next must-have piece of tech. This wearable tech is likely to completely transform the way we play casino games. Live casino games have already proven that players are itching to interact with other players and become more truly immersed in their gameplay. By combining VR with the live casino format, players are no longer confined to their living rooms, they’re transported to a casino floor; they’re able to see the players sitting next to them at the table, they’re able to move around, explore, and interact. VR slot games are also in development, with one or two having already been showcased by major software providers. You can put on a headset and step inside a slot game – it’s mind blowing.
Unfortunately, the price of a VR headset and the tech needed to power it have made it difficult for the average gamer to get in on the action. But all that is about to change. The ball is rolling, tech giants are racing to get ahead of the game and provide affordable headsets. In the near future, a VR headset will be a common household item in the same way a laptop and mobile phone have become.
The smartwatch has also become a mini gaming console. Developers have made great strides since the first smartwatches hit the market, and now you can find smartwatch casinos where you can easily play your favourite slot games or table games. The format is not for everyone, though. The screen really is tiny. But where will the future of this wearable tech take us? Perhaps the smartwatch will become powerful enough to run a VR game, and we’ll be able to connect our VR head sets to it and play our casino games in wide open spaces? Perhaps the VR headset will eventually become a pair of VR glasses that incorporate both Virtual and Augmented reality, allowing us to switch seamlessly between the two and connect to our powerful smartwatches – eliminating the need for a larger screen completely? When you look at how far we’ve already come, the possibilities for the future of casino gaming (and video gaming in general) seem endless. We think the best is yet to come, and we’re extremely excited for what’s next.

With the rapid development of the Internet, mobile shopping mall has become a popular way of shopping. At present, many well-known e-commerce companies are developing mobile shopping mall applications. As a popular communication software, WeChat has powerful social functions and a large user base, so it is a wise choice to develop a mobile shopping mall application based on the WeChat platform.
This paper introduces the development practice of mobile shopping mall based on WeChat platform, including system architecture design, function implementation and technical challenges.
System architecture design is the foundation of mobile shopping mall development, which must take into account factors such as user experience, system performance and system security. Function implementation is the core of mobile shopping mall development, which needs to cover aspects such as order management, payment function, logistics inquiry, coupon management, user evaluation, etc. In the development process, we also need to solve some technical challenges, such as how to realize WeChat payment, how to avoid repeated push of goods, how to improve the security of the system, etc.
The development practice of mobile shopping mall based on WeChat platform has important practical value, providing reference for other enterprises to develop similar applications.


Larger and better equipped than hand held power tools, the right machinery can easily turn the toughest and most expensive jobs from a nightmare into a dream. Is also becomes a very cost effective alternative when you calculate the time you will save, the low level of exertion that is required, and the satisfaction and pride you will feel upon your job’s completion. Machinery is manufactured for both home use and trade use.
Machinery available on the market today has been divided into the following categories.
The machinery discussed here does refer to large power tools. For hand held power tools, please see Power Tools.
Before you begin, it is a good idea to understand the basic electrical terminology that is used in the following pages.
This is the movement of electrons through a circuit, and is like a measure of the amount of water flowing through a pipe. Current is measured in Amperes (Amps).
– Direct Current (DC)
This is the flow of current in one direction (from negative to positive). Cordless tools operate off direct current.
– Alternating Current (AC)
This is current that alternates its direction of flow. Alternating current is found in all Australian mains power outlets, and is what al corded power tools operate off.
This is the pressure that causes the electrons to flow through a conductor. It is measured in Volts.
Power is the current standard measurement of work, and defines the conversion of electrical energy to heat, motion, light, or sound. It is measured in Watts. Horsepower (Hp) was the old standard, and although it is still used, the majority of tools are now defined in Watts. If you do need to convert between the two for comparison however, 1Hp = 746W.
Formula: Power (W) = Current (A) x Voltage (V)
The wattage stated on all power tools is know as input power, and is an indication of the demand a tool will place on a power outlet under normal operating conditions. A general power outlet (GPO) is rated to 2400W. This means two tools of a nominal wattage totalling more than 2400W must be used on separate GPO’s.
Output wattage is the power that makes it to the business end of the tool. This will only be a percentage of the input wattage, and will greatly depend on the efficiency of the tool. Generally speaking, higher quality tools have greater efficiency and require less input power to produce the same power output.


The King is back! But can it hold its reign on the AV throne?
Anyone reading What Hi-Fi? or trawling online reviews of AV receivers will find the Sony STRDN range receiving praise wherever it goes. It has been taking the best mid-range amplifier award in What Hi-Fi? for the last 3-4 years and they have gone for the prestigious title again this year with the STRDN1060.
The power is a more than generous 165 watts per channel @6 Ohms, capable of powering pretty much anything that you can hook up to it. The STRDN1060 is also well equipped with twin subwoofer outputs to give you the option of running two subwoofers at once for incredible bottom end presence.
It has Wi-Fi built in to allow you to connect up to your home network and stream any music stored on a NAS drive or network compatible device (tablet, phone etc) as well as having the capability to tune in to Internet Radio services from across the globe. The front mounted USB port also plays digital media sources, as well as giving you a better reproduction of the sound lost from compressing the audio via Sony’s own Digital Sound Enhancement Engine.
Furthermore, the unit comes equipped with Bluetooth and Apple Airplay capabilities so it can literally connect to almost any device imaginable. It is the 3rd generation of Bluetooth known as APT-X so you can now stream high quality audio through this unit if stored on the connected device.
The STRDN1060 provides a whopping 6 HDMI inputs, all of which are HDCP 2.2 and will pass through any true 4K material. It also has a quality upscaler built in to bring any 1080P or lower resolution content up to near 4K quality to enhance and sharpen the quality of any source input.
All in all it’s a very capable amplifier – the sound settings that the DSP (digital sound processor) can handle and decode to are extraordinary; so if you are listening to your favourite opera track then perhaps try the Carnegie Hall reverb setting to bring even more life to the music. The only issue I have, is that with the new Dolby Atmos system becoming the accepted format for the new movies (Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron) you have to ask why Sony didn’t try and cement their name as one of the recognised brands to support this revolutionary advancement in surround sound technology.
The STRDN1060 is still a fantastic piece of equipment that performs well above its suggested price tag, with a variety of features and a quality of sound to keep even the most keen eared audiophile happy. I just can’t help but wonder that if Dolby Atmos takes off as quickly as DTS did, then the STRDN1060 could soon fall short.
Pros: Great sound, easy to use interface, 4K upscaling, impressive connectivity.
Cons: No Atmos capability.

does anyone have a recommendation for an off-the-shelf LoRaWAN frost sensor? I would need it to get messages when the frost hits my wine cellar, so I can turn on the additional water pipe heater. Last winter it costed me a fortune not to know when it’s necessary and when not.
With it, I would like to connect to the Prottes Gateway.
Thanks for your ideas!
Sounds like a great idea! You could abstract your requirement to detect „Frost“ to use a sensor that shows
- rel. Humidity,
- and Pressure
(like sensors that use BME280 or similar) which enables you to calculate when Frost will occur. This will give you a hint in advance so that you can take counter-measurements on time. With these 3 values it should be possible to calculate the Dewpoint (Taupunkt) and if this is < 0, you will see „Frost“. (Please double check if I’m right, but it sounds feasible )
You could either find a Sensor for these three values or separate Sensors.
An example for a cheap sensor that covers all three values and promises 3yrs of operation with 2xAAA batteries is here: https://www.tindie.com/products/microclimate/microclimatenode/
Another option is this door+window sensor that also offers Temperature and rel. Humidity (no pressure):
If you are more interested on CO2 measurement as side effect, this could be your choice:
Are you dependent on battery or can you provide a power plug (Steckdose)?
Or maybe you want to stick to a Sensor for Temperature only? There are masses of products for Temperature Sensors.
thanks for your answer. I found the tabs sensor for 39,99 feasible. Think I try this one and would like to integrate it into the OpenIoT network, also for you to get more sensor data from around.
I’ll let you know when I’m ready for integration.

Energizer – Ultimate Lithium AAA Batteries (2-Pack) World’s longest lasting AAA batteries in high-tech devices.
Up to 15 years of shelf life.
Performs in extreme temperatures from -40° to 140°F..
At what temperature do batteries stop working?
According to Lifewire, lead-acid batteries drop in capacity by about 20 percent in normal to freezing weather, and down to about 50 percent in temperatures that reach about -22 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, you may find your car battery giving out on any given winter morning.
Do batteries work better in hot or cold?
Cold batteries discharge faster than hot batteries. Most batteries can be damaged by excessive temperature and may ignite or explode if it’s too hot. Refrigerating charged batteries may help them hold their charge, but it’s best to use the batteries near room temperature to ensure they last as long as possible.
How cold can batteries get?
A fully charged lead-acid battery can survive up to –50 C, but a battery with a low state of charge can freeze at –1 C. When the water in a battery freezes it expands and can cause irreparable damage to the cells.
Does heat affect car battery life?
High temperatures can evaporate your battery’s vital liquids and weaken its charge. “If a battery gets hot enough, its internal components corrode and weaken how much power the battery has,” notes Interstate Batteries. “It’s called heat deterioration. … Cold kills car batteries.
Why do iphones die in the cold?
Apple specifies that their batteries work best at a range of 0 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius. … Because the battery meter is calibrated assuming warmer temperatures, the reduced capacity in the cold can cause the reading to be unreliable. This is one of the reasons your phone may die while still showing 30%.
Will corrosion kill a battery?
Without proper attention, your car’s battery can corrode, possibly leaving you without a working car. Corrosion can drain power out of a battery and shorten its life. Battery corrosion is typically apparent at the terminals, a problem that can be resolved by careful cleaning.
What causes batteries to get hot?
There are several possibilities why a battery can feel hot or heat up. … In case of usage: This occurs when a battery is wrongly inserted in the battery box or there is a deformed terminal. Then there is also the possibility of a short circuit, forced charging and heating up the battery.
How do I keep my battery warm in the winter?
Install a battery blanket. A battery blanket is used to wrap around the battery and fit inside of the battery cover. A cord with a plug runs from the blanket to a wall outlet. The blanket can produce enough heat to keep the battery fluid from freezing. A trickle charger can also be mounted on the battery.
How long can a car battery sit unused?
two monthsAccording to the condition and usage of the battery, it usually may take a month to two months for the battery to worn out. That means, not igniting the car for two months may cause your battery to get cold. Then you have to take some measures to get it running again.
What batteries are best in cold weather?
Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries Are the Best Choice for Cold WeatherDakota Lithium batteries have a longer lifespan – typically 4 to 5 times longer than a SLA battery depending on application.They are 60% lighter weight.More items…•
Is it bad to leave lithium batteries in the cold?
While lithium-ion batteries handle cold weather better than most battery chemistries, temperatures too high or too low still compromise their ability to store and release energy. … Put simply, cold weather will decrease the lifespan of your battery because it will require charging more often.
Can a trickle charger ruin a battery?
Leaving a battery connected to a trickle charger for too long can lead to overcharging, causing damage to the battery. … Although they can’t recharge a dead battery, they can be used frequently and left connected to a battery without any risk of overcharging.
Can you leave a trickle charger on all winter?
Some trickle chargers can be left on a battery indefinitely. These would be used on a vehicle that is not used all the time or is stored away for the winter or the summer. A trickle charger built specifically for this is left on in the event that the vehicle is needed in an emergency or other unexpected situation.
Do AA batteries work in the cold?
According to Sanyo’s datasheet (PDF), basic AA Eneloops are only rated down to 0°C/32°F. Any colder than that and you can probably expect to see greatly reduced performance in medium and high-drain flashlights and devices. Lithium batteries, on the other hand, perform quite well when it’s cold out.
What affects the life of a battery?
There are five primary factors that affect UPS battery life: ambient temperature, cycling, battery chemistry, application and maintenance. The rated capacity of a battery is based on an ambient operating temperature of 25°C (77°F).
Why does battery drain faster in cold?
The short answer is that batteries rely on chemical reactions to work, and freezing temperatures slow or stop those reactions. … In fact, cold temperatures prevent the kind of slow discharge battery ions do under room temperatures, as the engineering website Lithiumpros.com explains.
Does temperature affect battery life?
Operating a battery at elevated temperatures improves performance but prolonged exposure will shorten life. … Cold temperature increases the internal resistance and lowers the capacity. A battery that provides 100 percent capacity at 27°C (80°F) will typically deliver only 50 percent at –18°C (0°F).
How do I stop my battery from draining in cold weather?
Get your battery checked.Keep driving for 10 minutes or longer.Park your car in a garage, if possible.Wrap your car battery in a thermal blanket.Charge up your car battery with more than a trickle charger.
Can cold weather kill a battery?
Cold weather slows everything down, especially the chemical reaction happening inside your car battery. In fact, at 32°F, a car’s battery loses about 35% of its strength. And at 0°F, it loses up to 60% of its strength—but your engine requires nearly twice as much power to start!
Do batteries last longer in the cold?
A number of studies have shown that storing batteries in the freezer helps them retain their charge longer. … Alkaline batteries stored at “room temperature” self discharge at a rate of less than two percent per year. So normally refrigerating or freezing them will only help maintain their charge by a tiny amount.


I just added the Fenix UC35 V2.0 to the store inventory a couple of months ago. Last week was the first chance I really had to get it out in the ‘field’ to try it out. I’ve used it around the house and in the garage for a few night time searches, but I finally had the opportunity to try it in ‘the dark’.
Measuring just 5.5″ long, 1″ in diameter and weighing 4.9 ounces it’s truly a powerhouse. With 5 power settings from 1 lumen to 1000 lumens it has a range of intensity that’s unmatched. At the 1 lumen setting it has an advertised 800 run time. Power it up to 1000 lumens and you still have 2 hours and 15 minutes of continuous run time. Plus you have the option of a strobe for personal security purposes.
It’s submersible to 2 meters (about 6 1/2′) and shockproof which I can personally attest to it’s durability. About the second time I used it I had lain it down on the bench in the garage and immediately knocked it off onto the concrete floor. No foul, no harm.
Most of the time we were camping I used it on the second setting of 50 lumens. It served it’s purpose lighting up the campsite at bedtime to pick up and put away odds and ends and in the camper. My wife’s nephew and wife were with us and I did turn it up to 1000 lumens just to see how bright it was. In that part of the world there aren’t any street lights in the woods and 1000 lumens will definitely light things up.
After years of carrying/using a MagLite I had some difficulty getting used to the tail switch. Like anything else, since I’ve gotten used to it I like it. Sometimes finding the switch on the side of the MagLite with gloves on was a guessing game in the dark. With the tail switch, pretty easy to figure out where it’s at. For tactical use against things that go bump in the night, the tail switch is the only way to go.
The rechargeable battery is fantastic and easy to recharge. A really nice feature is the light intensity doesn’t start to fade as the battery discharges and checking the battery charge status is simple. The run time is outstanding. Recharging is as simple as you could ask for.
On the forward part of the flashlight body is a small brass colored ring with a battery status light in the center. By pressing on the tail switch the color of the status light will let you know if it’s time for a recharge. After a couple of months usage, I’m still in the green.
When you’re ready to recharge it, simply take the standard supplied USB charging cord and plug it into the USB port on the flashlight. You can use either a wall plug in your house or the accessory plug in your vehicle and charge it on the go. To me this was a huge feature. In the past I’ve avoided the rechargeable lights that required a separate charging station and a 120V outlet. If I”m camping the only power source I typically have is my vehicle. With the Fenix UC35 V2.0, problem solved.
Try as I might, I can’t come up with a negative on this light. I have several other Fenix lights ranging from a little pocket light that uses a single AAA battery, an LD20 mounted on my AR and now this gem. All of them are stellar performers but the Fenix UC35 V2.0 is definitely the king of the hill in my book. Highly recommend it.

On a roll with new smart pole
Local company’s intelligent lamp pole hides a range of high-tech devices
Standing like sentinels over Sentosa’s Palawan Beach are two lamp poles that shine a light to a future of smart and safer cities.
They are twice the size of the ones found throughout Singapore, and have hidden compartments to house Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cables.
More than a decade in the making, the idea for these next-generation lamp poles arose from a need for quicker responses to traffic or emergency situations.
When local lighting company Technolite started supplying lamp poles to Orchard Road in 2006, they began to receive requests from government agencies to install additional surveillance equipment to the structures.
“It was a big challenge because the poles are not designed for that,” said Mr Michael Chia, 55, managing director of Technolite.
“We had to think about how the structural design of the pole could support the weight of the devices and wind load, and optimise the space within the constraints of the pole dimensions,” added Mr Lim Yeow Chong, 55, senior engineer at Technolite.

Hello All. In this post, we present implementation of a hooked browser network based on BeEF and the Google Drive service.
First, we would like to introduce ourselves. We are researchers in the Information Security and Cryptography Department of Tomsk State University located in Tomsk, Russia.
Our team takes part in the BeEF project by sometimes developing experimental features. We implemented DNS and ETag covert timing channels modules and extensions, modules for attacking BIG-IP devices. Our ETag covert timing channels research took 10th place in the WhiteHat Security Top 10 Web Hacking techniques of 2014.
Now, let's talk about why we really need to communicate with hooked browsers via Google Drive and how we can implement it.


Many farm businesses have made an investment in a photovoltaic (PV) system in the last two years to help reduce their electricity costs in the long term and make their farm more sustainable, writes David Trimble, Greenmount Campus, CAFRE.
With PV being a new and largely unknown technology there was uncertainty about the amount of electricity that would actually be produced and the financial return on the investment.
With this in mind, CAFRE approached a number of farms where PV systems had recently been installed and asked the farm owner for permission to monitor the output of electricity from the system. This information was provided for five PV installations based on farms at various locations across the country. Some of the installations were on a shed roof and some were on intensive livestock houses. The encouraging result was that all of the systems performed well and they all exceeded the output that was calculated under the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAPs). This is the measurement system that installers are obliged to use to give a measure of the electricity production of a proposed PV system.
With confidence in the output of a photovoltaic installation established, you can then consider how it might fit into your business. The ideal situation is where all of the electricity produced can be used on site.
This not only makes the business more sustainable, but it also shortens the payback time on the investment.
There will be opportunities to learn more about PV systems at a series of training workshops that are being organised by CAFRE in January and February 2015. Also the Practical On-farm Renewable Energy event will take place on the Enniskillen Campus on Wednesday 18 February, running from 1.00 pm to 9.00 pm.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the retail industry in Australia and across the world. Retailers are using AI to improve customer experiences, optimize their supply chain and inventory management, and gain a competitive edge in the market. In this article, we will explore how AI is having a significant impact on the retail industry in Australia.
Personalized Shopping Experiences
AI is providing retailers with the ability to personalize shopping experiences for customers. For example, retailers are using AI algorithms to analyze customer data, such as purchase history and preferences, to recommend products and services that are most likely to be of interest to them. AI chatbots can also provide customers with immediate answers to their questions, reducing wait times and improving the overall customer experience.
Retailers are using AI to optimize their supply chain and inventory management processes. AI algorithms can analyze sales data in real-time to predict future demand, allowing retailers to adjust their inventory levels accordingly. This helps to reduce waste, improve the accuracy of product availability information, and increase efficiency in the supply chain.
AI is also being used by retailers to optimize prices and improve profitability. By analyzing sales data, AI algorithms can determine the optimal price point for each product, taking into account factors such as demand, supply, and competitor prices. Retailers can also use AI to implement dynamic pricing strategies, adjusting prices in real-time based on changes in demand and other market conditions.
Retailers are using AI to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, such as credit card fraud and identity theft. AI algorithms can analyze customer data to identify patterns and behaviors that are indicative of fraud, allowing retailers to take action to prevent it. This helps to reduce losses, improve customer security, and enhance the overall reputation of the retailer.
In conclusion, AI is having a profound impact on the retail industry in Australia. By providing personalized shopping experiences, optimizing inventory management, improving pricing strategies, and preventing fraud, AI is helping retailers to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. As AI continues to evolve, it will likely have an even greater impact on the retail industry in the years to come.


Terrific strides have actually been made in digital modern technology over the previous couple of years, but much more sophisticated digital cams have actually only recently boiled down in price adequate to bring in the “major amateur” market. In the past, the rate of high-end digital video camera tools was much more matched to the specialist that can transform that financial investment into an earnings source.
Even conventional movie enthusiasts are gradually occurring to the benefits of digital photography. Among the holdouts, the principal issue seems to be complication. There are a lot of choices, with a broad variety of choices, and equally as many rate varieties.
It’s less costly not to make a choice, than making a mistake.
They obtain lost in the terminology, and have bookings regarding the high quality of electronic photos and also concerning the integrity of the digital cams. With the whirlwind of innovation flooding our lives day-to-day, it’s become really challenging to maintain.
Innovation advances, rates come down, and also a bargain today might be outdated tomorrow. A minimum of that’s exactly what worries lots of potential digital video camera owners.
So allow’s consider 5 of one of the most usual concerns about digital cam photography to shed some light on the matter, for those that are reluctant concerning this new modern technology, or that have rejected it as a simple craze.
1. Do digital electronic cameras create high quality pictures?
Digital pictures could be presented at really high resolutions, and also can conveniently exceed traditional photographs, however several have actually seen poorer quality images. Early printer can be made use of to publish shade pictures from digital cameras, but the high quality simply wasn’t there. Blurred images on low-grade computer system monitors or on the tiny LCD displays of the cameras themselves, do nothing to enhance your self-confidence.
But watch the high resolution images available from today’s digital cameras on a qualified screen or after being printed on among the newer image quality printers (making use of photo high quality paper) and you’ll see the crystal clear quality of just what is readily available today.
2. Just how durable are digital camera images?
Digital video camera images are not stored on film. They’re kept on digital memory devices that really require much less care compared to unfavorable film.
As long as reasonable treatment is taken of the storage gadget, there should not be any problems with protecting pictures captured on an electronic video camera, and also you can conveniently make copies of the digital picture data on your computer system or perhaps burn them to a CD – an alternative that isn’t offered with film.
3. Are electronic camera images a lot more expensive to process?
Not any longer. First, you could get rid of any kind of inadequate pictures before printing and also only pay for those that you print. With “simple share” innovation and photo top quality printers and now offered, it is both budget-friendly and also practical to publish electronic cam photos.
You can even do the task on your own, in the comfort of your very own home – without buying pricey growth chemicals that are needed for movie handling! Or, you can send your photos digitally to an expert processor, and obtain expertly generated images back in the mail in simply a couple of days.
4. Can I obtain different effects with a digital electronic camera?
That depends upon the digital camera. High-end models have built-in features that allow different kinds of effects. But also if your digital camera does not have these innovative attributes, you could constantly adjust the photographs on your computer, utilizing any kind of picture editing software.
5. Are zooming functions similar?
Below electronic cameras in fact have an unique advantage over film cams. While less expensive electronic cams might just have electronic zoom (which is actually just a form of in-camera enhancement that causes a reduced resolution original picture), high end models are readily available with both digital as well as optical zooming.
When shopping for your digital camera, offer top priority to the optical zoom capacity and also acquire the greatest power optical zoom that fits within your spending plan. Digital zoom is a good extra, however the effects could effortlessly be reproduced during the “handling” of the photo on your computer system, prior to publishing the pictures.

Do you use computers often? If yes, then the term computer radiation may not be new for you. What may be new for you are the effects that electromagnetic radiation from computers cause to your body. Whether you use a computer for work or leisure, prolonged exposure will lead to serious health risks. What can you do to keep yourself from being at risk?
Different Kinds of Computer Monitor Radiation
Radiation from computer monitor is the big umbrella that covers different kinds of electromagnetic frequencies. It means that when you face the computer you absorb both VLF (Very Low Frequency) electromagnetic radiation, ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) electromagnetic radiation, and soft x-rays if you use an old style Cathode Ray Tube monitor.
Effects of Computer Radiation
Nowadays, people work longer hours in front of the computer. This extended susceptibility to radiation could lead to biological effects such as eye strain, stress, insomnia and fatigue.
However, the center of concerns about computer radiation effects is directed towards pregnancy results. Several studies have explored the definitive effects of electromagnetic radiation to pregnant women such as cancer in reproductive system. The conclusive statement from the experts say that health risks from electromagnetic field exposure are still being studied and currently there are no specific data to suggest exact grave health defects.
Eliminate Computer Radiation
1) Consider the location of your computer. When you use a computer, EMF is radiated in all directions and the back of the computer gives off the second strongest radiation. Make sure that the back part is not exposed to many people.
2) Consider your eyes. Since the eyes are the most strained part when in computer use, make sure to have a distance as far as 80 cm away from the computer screen.
3) Make sure to have the radiation filter plate. This can help block the electromagnetic radiation that radiates from your computer.
4) Put your computer in a well-ventilated area. Since computers are also recognized to give off carcinogenic substances, one way to moderate this is to put it in a significantly cooler area.
5) Take your vitamins. Make sure to have your healthy share of food rich in vitamins such as A and C. Healthy food can help your immune system to be stronger which protects you from the harmful effects of computer radiation.

Is technology taking over the office? Do you want to make use of the latest technology but simply don’t have the space? If yes, then virtualization could be the answer. Virtualization offers capabilities that allow businesses to separate their resources and services from the delivery infrastructure. Basically, companies can do a lot more, with less. For example: Virtual memory enables access to more memory than is physically installed in a computer. Virtualization can help resolve IT challenges at all levels including: networks, storage, computer, server hardware, operating systems, and applications.
Virtualization technology provides businesses with unlimited computing, storage, and networking hardware without requiring the purchase of new infrastructure. A virtual infrastructure will not subject a company to disruption or new training. This is because on a day-to-day basis, user interaction with each computer will be the same. Virtual infrastructure gives administrators the advantage of managing pooled resources across all levels of business. This important benefit allows IT managers to be more responsive to changing business needs while greatly reducing investment in technology infrastructure.

Digital Camera Recovery
Recover Deleted mpeg from Digital Camera Without Delay
Digital cameras are widely used these days because of their smart features as well as easy usability where you can edit, delete or add other features to the images and videos that you have captured. These have become the first choice for professional as well as amateur photographers alike.
The images and videos that are captured are stored in the internal or external memory of the camera. In external storage of this data, these get stored in the memory card of the camera. However, there are also chances that the images and videos on the memory card can go missing or get deleted due to any reason. Such a situation can arise due to several reasons like accidentally or intentionally deleting or formatting the memory card, handling the device improperly, corruption in the memory card, virus attack, etc.
Due to these reasons one cannot access the data on the memory card. In such a situation one should immediately stop using the camera because the new images and videos that are captured overwrite the previous ones present on the memory card. Although the data is no more visible to the user, it is still there and only the pointers are no more found. Therefore, any new image or video would overwrite the previous ones.
So the question that arises here is can these videos be recovered back? The answer to this question is definitely in the affirmative and one can recover deleted mpeg from digital camera with the help of efficient software.
The software to recover deleted mpeg from digital camera can recover all lost and deleted MPEG videos from the memory card of the camera. The software makes use of strong scanning algorithms and scans the entire device to recover deleted mpeg from digital camera and ensure that each and every video is recovered with the data intact without the loss of any information.
One can use the software easily because it has a very user friendly Graphical User Interface that makes sure that you download and install the software without any difficulty. So the next time you delete any MPEG video from your digital camera do not despair but use the software to recover deleted mpeg from digital camera.

LONGVIEW, Texas (KETK) – New technology is letting students at LeTourneau University fly high without leaving the ground.
The school just received two flight simulators that will help train future pilots.
Soon to be pilots were able to see and feel what it’s like to fly first hand.
“The beauty of simulators is that we can do things in the sim that we just cannot do safely in the aircraft,” said Phil Roberts, a dispatch manager.
Those in the program are able to respond to turbulence, different weather conditions, and staying balanced in a plane.
“Everything is a lot more busier. You have air traffic control, the airplane is making a lot of noise and it’s not really a good environment in the airplane itself for learning, and so you can do the learning right here,” said Aaron King, a flight instructor.
The machine features the same controls in a standard commercial aircraft, and allows a 140 degree view from their seat.
“The simulators allow the students to develop muscle memory and thought processes ahead of time. So, your not only spending less time in a much more expensive resource than the airplanes,” said Roberts.
Instructors sit next to the students, checking off a list, making sure they are ready for take off.
Although the University uses simulations, officials say new systems are important to keep up with changing technology.
“Technology changes in aviation just like it does in computers and phones. Staying in the technological forefront is important,” explained Roberts.
Based on the course, students tend to spend 50 to 100 hours using the simulation.

We are pleased to announce the 3rd Workshop on Studies on Dynamically Compressed Matter with X-rays to be held at the European Synchrotron (ESRF) in Grenoble July 7-9 2020 (lunch to lunch).
In the recent years shock-induced dynamic compression has witnessed a revolution thanks to the coupling of powerful lasers or other shock-generating devices to X-rays brilliant probes, opening new exciting opportunities for the scientific community.
The aim of the workshop is to gather scientists, both from the static and dynamic extreme conditions community, to discuss recent results and new scientific frontiers that can be explored thanks to this combination. This meeting is intended to inspire new projects and to offer opportunities for discussing future collaboration between workshop participants in particular in view of the opening of the High Power Laser Facility at the ESRF, coupling a nsec, 100J laser to time-resolved X-ray Absorption.
Time resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray imaging (XRI) coupled to dynamic compression experiments at the ESRF will be covered as well and plans for a future extension of HPLF (HPLF-II) to other X-rays techniques – XRD, XRI and X-ray emission spectroscopy- will be presented.
The main topics are:
– Planetary science: structure, evolution, geodynamics of planets, space impacts
– Warm Dense Matter: equation of state and phase diagram
– Behaviour of matter under high strain rates, comparison to static compression
– Synthesis of new materials, new chemistry
– Ab initio simulations for matter under extreme conditions

A new research and development (R&D) project aims to put Scotland at the forefront of the £7 billion global sensors and imaging systems market and deliver significant economic growth.
The project brings together companies and organisations to collaborate on production of materials used for manufacturing goods that use sensors, ranging from asthma inhalers to infrared cameras.
The initiative, backed by Scottish Enterprise and CENSIS, the Scottish Innovation Centre for Sensors and Imaging Systems, will also “onshore” 41 research and manufacturing jobs from Asia.
Four companies — Cascade Technologies, Compound Semiconductor Technologies Global (CSTG), Gas Sensing Solutions Ltd (GSS), Amethyst Research Ltd — and the Research Division of Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering at The University of Glasgow will combine their expertise for the initiative.
The project will also see high performance III-V infrared detector specialists, Amethyst Research Ltd, continue to locate its operations in Scotland to gain access to Europe.
The project aims to boost turnover for the businesses by £135 million over the next 10 years and cut their production costs by up to 50%.
The initiative aims to give the businesses a competitive edge in the global mid-IR sensors1 market. The project is expected to deliver £56 million to the Scottish economy over the next 10 years.
“This ground breaking project is further evidence of Scotland’s global competitiveness,” said Lena Wilson, chief executive of Scottish Enterprise.
“The companies involved are great examples of the innovative supply chain in Scotland, highlighting why we continue to be an attractive location for technology manufacturing investment.”
The project will be supported with almost £6 million in funding over the next three years, comprising £2.8 million from the companies participating, £2.6 million from Scottish Enterprise’s collaborative R&D support and £241,000 plus capital equipment provided by CENSIS.
Ian Reid, chief executive of CENSIS, said: “This project will have a momentous impact on Scottish industry and is a game-changer for collaborative R&D.
“Not only will it underpin the development of Scotland’s sensors and imaging sector, which already accounts for £2.6 billion in annual revenues, but it will also provide the academic community with access to cutting edge technology, allowing further innovation and collaboration.
“Scotland has the potential to be at the forefront of the global sensors and imaging systems sector, and this project could make that a reality. We have the opportunity to innovate continually from the design and growth of the materials, right through to the wide variety of products which can be manufactured and their extensive applications.
“Collaboration between these companies and the academic community will put both of these groups at the forefront of global trends and in a unique position to access new markets, ultimately creating a globally competitive supply chain of businesses.”

This idea appears in in the book version of the original backpropagation paper. The basics come down to this: It has been shown that these networks are very effective at learning patterns up to layers deep, much more than the regular 2 to 5 layers one could expect to train.
The gradient of a shared weight is simply the sum of the gradients of the parameters being shared. Pooling is a way to filter out details: The weights of a hidden layer can be represented in a 4D tensor containing elements for every combination of destination feature map, source feature map, source vertical position, and source horizontal position.
They can be safely ignored. During training, only the connections between the observer and the soup of hidden units are changed. Local connectivity[ edit ] When dealing with high-dimensional inputs such as images, it is impractical to connect neurons to all neurons in the previous volume because such a network architecture does not take the spatial structure of the data into account.
Nanodevices  for very large scale principal components analyses and convolution may create a new class of neural computing because they are fundamentally analog rather than digital even though the first implementations may use digital devices.
The difference is that these networks are not just connected to the past, but also to the future. These neurons are then adjusted to match the input even better, dragging along their neighbours in the process.
These networks tend to be trained with back-propagation. One can train them using backpropagation by feeding input and setting the error to be the difference between the input and what came out. Vincent, Pascal, et al.
This work led to work on nerve networks and their link to finite automata. Once you passed that input and possibly use it for training you feed it the next 20 x 20 pixels: He is currently CCO at News Deeply, which creates digital platforms and online communities to help address undeserved global issues.
The architecture thus ensures that the learnt "filters" produce the strongest response to a spatially local input pattern. There are 8 directions in which one can translate the input image by a single pixel.
Weight sharing dramatically reduces the number of free parameters learned, thus lowering the memory requirements for running the network and allowing the training of larger, more powerful networks. These cells are sensitive to small sub-regions of the visual field, called a receptive field.
This section needs additional citations for verification. It is in principle the same as the traditional multi-layer perceptron neural network MLP. This is a useful approach because neural networks are large graphs in a wayso it helps if you can rule out influence from some nodes to other nodes as you dive into deeper layers.
For example, if the first convolutional layer takes the raw image as input, then different neurons along the depth dimension may activate in the presence of various oriented edges, or blobs of color.
The weights as well as the functions that compute the activation can be modified by a process called learning which is governed by a learning rule. The shape of the tensor is: He received his B. Recall the following definition of convolution for a 1D signal.
For MLPs, this was the number of units in the layer below. In CNNs, each filter is replicated across the entire visual field. Lakshmi, Sathyabama University M.
Ravi Kumar, Secretary, G. Classically they were only capable of categorising linearly separable data; say finding which images are of Garfield and which of Snoopy, with any other outcome not being possible.

Is there a "best" way to charge your cellphone battery? Are there things that you can do that will make your battery die sooner? How many cycles can your battery be recharged before it needs to be replaced?
Be prepared to learn a thing or three about how to care for your battery and be prepared to have at least a few rechargeable battery myths dispelled. All of this information comes from BatteryUniversity.com, a free informational website that is sponsored by a manufacturer of battery packs, chargers, and battery diagnostic devices.
Most lithium-batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1500 charge cycles. One recharge cycle is any time you hook your phone up to charge it, regardless of how much charging is actually done. The depth of discharge (how much energy is recharged) is a big factor in determining how long a battery will last.
According to Battery University, a li-ion battery that goes through a 100% depth of discharge (the battery is run down to zero and fully recharged back to 100%) can degrade to 70% of its original capacity in just 300-500 cycles. In contrast, by keeping the depth of discharge to 25% (running the battery down to only 75% before fully recharging) you may be able to lengthen the battery life to 2500 cycles before it starts to seriously degrade.
If somebody tries to tell you that the number of times you charge your battery are the primary factor in determining battery life without considering depth of discharge, they are mistaken.
Were you around when ni-cad batteries were a thing? Ni-cads were notorious for developing "memory". If you regularly recharged a ni-cad when it was still at 50% capacity, over time, you could end up with a battery that only hold a 50% charge when it was fully charged. Only nickel-based batteries are susceptible to memory, memory is NOT a problem for lithium-based rechargeable batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries don't like heat. Exposing a li-ion battery to temperatures of 100 degrees F for a year will cause it to lose about 40% of it's overall charge capacity. At 75 degrees F, a li-ion battery will only lose about 20% of its overall charge capacity.
Contrary to popular belief, leaving your phone or laptop plugged in all the time is not bad for the battery. Modern chargers are usually quite smart and know when your battery is full. When your laptop or cellphone battery is full, modern charges will change to trickle charging - charging at low "speed". Trickle charging is much less detrimental to the life of your battery than deep discharges are. It is probably a wise idea, however, to avoid cheap chargers and stick with the charger that your manufacturer gave you or use chargers from reliable aftermarket brands.
Running your battery down to zero doesn't really mean that your battery is completely empty. Lithium-ion batteries become very unstable if they are discharged completely. Sometimes, discharging a lithium-battery completely can result in a fire or small explosion. Due to this issue, most lithium-ion batteries have an internal protection circuit that will trip and kill the battery permanently if the battery is discharged to an unsafe level. This prevents the battery from discharging to a point where fire or explosion becomes a possibility.
If you have a removable battery, the most important sign to be aware of is when your battery starts to bulge. Lithium-ion batteries are powerful, but they are less stable than other types of batteries. When lithium-ion batteries begin to fail, they produce a small amount of flammable gas. This can obviously be dangerous, so lithium-ion batteries are also completely sealed and designed to contain this gas.
When this gas builds up, it will cause lithium-ion batteries to bulge and expand. This can cause the battery to rock back and forth in your phone and randomly shutdown because the battery terminals lose contact with your phone.
I'm not trying to scare anybody. It is POSSIBLE for lithium-batteries to explode or burst into flames and if you look hard enough, you will find stories about situations where this has happened. Lithium-ion batteries and their chargers are VERY safe. I have been using a cellphone with a lithium-ion battery for years, as have most of my friends and relatives. Nobody I know has ever owned a battery that exploded or caught fire.
Even on an expensive phone paying somebody to swap out your battery will probably cost less than $70 and a new battery may allow you to keep your phone for another year. That's a good deal if you ask me.

Small and maneuverable, the AGILOX ONE transports pallets even through the narrowest aisles.
At AGILOX, we see our products as the revolutionary evolution of veteran Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Compared to conventional logistics robots, our intelligent Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) possess extensive, autonomous basic intelligence. With the highest quality, the AGILOX ONE is 100% developed and manufactured by the AGILOX company – from mechanics to electronics, automation and navigation to software. Thus, software and hardware are meticulously coordinated and function in perfect harmony with each other.
Despite its own weight of just 380 kg, the logistics robot can handle a load of up to one ton and lift it to a height of up to 1000 mm. Small yet powerful is the motto. The lifting concept is based on an electrically driven double spindle. The maximum driving speed with load is 1.4 m/s. The vehicle was specially developed for load carriers such as pallets, boxes and trolleys. Of course, the product complies with all relevant standards and safety requirements.
We rely on Plug & Play commissioning
Our AGILOX ONE may look extremely compact and handy, but it provides a powerful performance. It was specially developed for customers who, on the one hand, need a robust, reliable industrial robot but, on the other hand, want to do without complicated equipment such as a host computer or navigation aids, etc. Using a 2D laser scanner, the AGILOX independently draws a map of the room, which only needs to be fine-tuned by the commissioning engineer in a few steps. To draw the map, the AGILOX is guided through the room only once by hand and records all navigation contours located in the room, such as machines, equipment and objects. This means that the first AGILOX can be put into operation within a few hours, and any additional vehicle within a few minutes via Plug & Play. Navigation aids such as magnetic dots etc. are thus a thing of the past. The navigation system developed by AGILOX can determine its position with an accuracy of +/- 3 mm and can drive „blind” for up to 100 m. This makes the system ideal even for demanding production environments.
The AGILOX ONE with the proven AGILOX X-Swarm Technology
With the two safety scanners installed at floor level, the robot sees all potential obstacles in its path at an angle of approx. 270°. If it is not possible to avoid the obstacle due to the space available, the speed is slowed down or the vehicle stops completely. Thus, these sensors already counteract all accidents in collaborative man-machine traffic. It avoids obstacles with a newly calculated route and communicates this directly to other AGILOX robots in the room. This is part of AGILOX swarm intelligence, because our machines communicate with each other. We call this the AGILOX X-Swarm Technology. The vehicles know at every second what job other AGILOX robots are working on at the moment and where they are. If an AGILOX detects a problem, it informs the others. These in turn are warned in advance and can respond intelligently and proactively to the information. The same communication also ensures optimized distribution of jobs among the individual devices. Swarm intelligence guarantees optimal allocation of jobs to the swarm and thus optimal system performance. The optimization is dynamic and based on real-time data such as the current position, the loading status of the individual vehicles or the order properties such as the priority of the tasks. This ensures that the most suitable AGILOX at a specific moment receives and processes a given task. The AGILOX X-Swarm Technology completely takes over the familiar host computer functionalities and also ensures redundant control.
In order to be able to negotiate even complex routes, which occur very often due to grown circumstances in the production and logistics areas, a special driving concept is required that guarantees maximum freedom of movement. We take this challenge lightly. What does that mean? Four drive units allow the AGILOX ONE to turn 360° around the own axis, or to enter narrow aisles. This saves space and thus costs. Grandiose, isn’t it?
