TECHNOLOGY MIRACLES

WATER DROPLETS COMPUTING NEEDS NO ELECTRICITY

Today's computers can short out if liquid enters their innards, but water droplets could form the basis for tomorrow's electricity-free computing devices.
The idea of turning water droplets into digital bits — the basic unit of data transfer — came from experiments at Aalto University in Finland. When researchers observed water droplets bouncing off one another like billiard balls on a water-repellent surface, they realized they could guide the water droplets along water-repellent tracks.
"I was surprised that such rebounding collisions between two droplets were never reported before, as it indeed is an easily accessible phenomenon: I conducted some of the early experiments on water-repellent plant leaves from my mother's garden," said Henrikki Mertaniemi, an applied physics researcher at Aalto University, in a statement.
The experiments showed how the water droplets could act as digital bits in memory devices or logic operations at the most basic level of computing.

The idea of water-based computing likely won't replace your PC or Mac, but it could lead to specialized computing in devices that don't have power sources — or in situations where you can't rely on having available power outlets.

For example, researchers demonstrated a "flip-flop memory" setup with a single water-repellent track forking into two tracks. A series of water droplets rolling down the single track would collide with second droplet sitting at the fork, and alternatively knock the second droplet toward one fork branch or the other — a process repeated 100 times without error.
Researchers also raised the possibility of "programmable chemical reactions." They turned water droplets into timed chemical triggers by loading them with chemicals, allowing the droplet collisions to set off the chemical reactions.


Water computers join other wild ideas for futuristic computing that have arisen in recent years, such as test tubes filled with DNA or the genetic code of living cells.

Hands on: Olympus E-PM2 Camera Learns from Smartphones

After years of smartphone cameras trying to catch up to "real" cameras, the exchange is going in the other way. The new Olympus PEN E-PM2 (one of several Olympus cameras debuting today) is an example of smartphone schooling.

The 16-megapixel shooter belongs to the growing class of mirrorless cameras that take interchangeable lenses like an SLR but are much thinner and require you to preview shots on an LCD as with a point and shoot or a cellphone camera.

The E-PM2, which sells for $600 with a 3X zoom lens (as well as its nearly identical big sibling, the $700, with lens, E-PL5), has a capacitive touchscreen like smartphones and the tap-to-focus feature that the iPhone made famous. You simply tap on the screen preview exactly what you want to be sharpest.

The benefit over doing this on an iPhone: a "real" camera can focus much faster. Olympus, in fact, claims that its mirrorless models are some of the fastest-focusing cameras in the world. Of course we couldn't verify that in a quick hands-on, but we found the camera to be extremely quick — snapping photos at nearly the same time we touched the screen. And with a max speed of 8 photos per second, the E-PM2 provides a very good chance that you'll get your shot.

The screen tilts for holding the camera up high or down low.

Of course the real bonus of smartphones is that they can share photos on the spot. The E-PM2 provides a workaround using a Wi-Fi-equipped memory card and apps for iPhones and Android phones. While reviewing photos on the camera, you can select any to send over to a smartphone over Wi-Fi. That process was also a snap in our hands-on. (This is not a brand-new technology, but nevertheless a potentially handy one, if done right.) You can also share the photos with several people by sending them to multiple smartphones at once.
Something Olympus couldn’t tell us was whether the card's Wi-Fi stays on all the time. If it does, the camera's battery would likely drain far faster than otherwise. (Olympus had intended to include the wireless memory card in the box with the cameras, but due to a glitch, it will allow people to order the card for free after they buy the camera.)
        And because it's a real camera, the E-PM2 can do things that are unthinkable for a smartphone. In addition to the lightening-fast focus, it can take photos at very low light (with a maximum sensitivity of ISO of 25,600).
And the camera takes dozens of specialized lenses. In the box is a 3X, 14-42mm zoom lens (about what you get with most mirrorless and SLR cameras). Olympus today also introduced a $500 "macro" lens for extreme close-ups at just 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) away.
E-PM2 goes on sale in October and is available in silver, black, white or red

Ghost' House

Ghost' House Aims for Net Zero Energy

An uninhabited home has faucets running hot water, lights turning on and off, and household appliances coming alive at odd hours. But it's not a poltergeist banging around a haunted house — the ghostly behavior comes from a new U.S. experiment aimed at building homes that could create as much energy as they use.

The remote-controlled house features small devices that give off the same amount of heat and humidity as humans to help mimic the activities of a family of four over a year, according to researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). That will help NIST test energy-efficient technologies, forge design standards for energy efficiency, and ultimately help American homeowners cut back on their utility bills.

"Results from this lab will show if net-zero home design and technologies are ready for a neighborhood near you," said Patrick Gallagher, NIST Director and Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology, in a statement.

NIST plans for the house — called the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility — to make enough of its own energy to balance out its energy consumption and achieve net-zero energy usage.

Belgium Nemo 33

 The World Deepest Indoor Swimming Pool:  

Belgium Nemo 33 is the deepest indoor pool. Maximum depth of 33 meters. Pool is used for instructions on how to dive. Divers can explore underwater caves in the system, but due to the fact that Nemo 33 is constantly warm temperature (35.5 degrees), they do not even need wetsuits.
Nemo 33 – it’s exciting and exhilarating, safe for man and nature center. In fact, pools in this complex the two. In the first small depth, including – 1.3 meters in 2.5 meters. And second, there are three so-called “well”: 5, 10 and 33 meters. Water filtration is controlled by computer, which, for example, will not tolerate any smell of chlorine. The owners of Nemo 33 claim that their object is totally non-polluting.
       

Luxury Eclipse Yacht- Beautiful Yachts in the World

INNOVATIVE EXCELLENCE

Gyro Technology

This wild new motorcycle, invented by 19-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak. It's a battery charged machine that accelerates by leaning forward and slowing down by leaning backwards.
The Uno weighs approximately 129 pounds (58 kg.) and has a top speed of 25 mph (40 klms).
Update: Since featuring Ben's invention, he has continued to develop and progress with his innovative product.
He won second place in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and first prize in Popular Science's Invention Awards. Ben also appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and on the popular invention television show "Dragon's Den" where he received 1.25 million dollars from investors.

Ben shares this advice for inventors, "When you have an idea, it's easy to get discouraged. There are so many people who will tell you that you're wasting your time. The biggest thing is to not let people get you down. If you really believe in something - keep going after it because there is always a way and you can make your dreams come true."

WOW

The Square

Jack Dorsey, the co-inventor of Twitter, is promoting his latest invention called the Square. The square is a small plug-in attachment to your mobile phone that allows you to receive credit card payments.
The idea originated from Dorsey's friend Jim McKelvey who was unable to sell some glass work to a customer because he couldn't accept a particular card being used.
Accepting credit card payments for something you're selling isn't always easy, especially if you are mobile like a tradesman, delivery service or a vendor at a trade show.
This latest invention uses a small scanner that plugs into the audio input jack on a mobile device.
It reads information on a credit card when it is swiped. The information is not stored on the device but is encrypted and sent over secure channels to banks.
It basically makes any mobile phone a cash register for accepting card payments.
As a payer, you receive a receipt via email that can be instantly accessed securely online. You can also use a text message to authorize payment in real time.
Retailers can create a payer account for their customers which accelerates the payment process.
For example, a cardholder can assign a photo to their card so their photo will appear on the phone for visual identity confirmation. Mobile devices with touch screens will also allow you to sign for goods.

There are no contracts, monthly fees, or hidden costs to accept card payments using Square and it is expected the plug-in attachment will also be free of charge.A penny from every transaction will also be given to a cause of your choice.
As with Twitter, it's anticipated that Dorsey will direct the company based upon feedback from users.
Square Inc. has offices in San Francisco, Saint Louis and New York and is currently beta testing the invention with retailers in the United States.

LINUX

Facts About Linux

Linus Benedict Torvalds, a 21 year old Finnish college student created operating system Linux. It was made public on August 25, 1991. A penguin named Tux is the official mascot of Linux. Linus named the software Freax (freak + unix), but his friend uploaded first public version of operating system into a folder that he named Linux. Linux today is one of the most widely used operating system running on small computers to huge servers. Linux is open source operating system and millions of people around the world contribute to Linux development. Linux provides platform to developers, academic centers, government concerns and many other businesses and it is available with free license and supports changes as compared to other operating systems. It is quite flexible as it allows it users to use parts that they require for particular application or device they are working on. Linus continually works on the developments of kernel, but today his part of the original contribution is less than 2%. World known companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Linked in etc use Linux as their main operating system. Established in 2007, Linux foundation works to grow and succeed in competition with other operating systems.

VOICEPRINTS INTO PASSWORD

Communications

Securing Your Voice

                Researchers turn voiceprints into passwords to avoid storing your actual speech anywhere.

Voice authentication is increasingly used by tens of millions of people, including bank and telecom customers: you record a sample upon enrollment, and then speak that passage each time you call in, confirming your identity with a certainty regular passwords can't match. But if hackers obtain your voiceprint—under scenarios akin to breaches of credit-card and other personal data—they could use it to break into other systems that use voice authentication.

              Now researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say they've developed voice-verification technology that can transform your voice into a series of password-like data strings, in a process that can be handled on the average smart phone. Your actual voice never leaves your phone, during enrollment or later authentication. 

           "We are the first to convert a voice recording to something like passwords," says Bhiksha Raj, the CMU computer scientist who led the research. "With fingerprints, this is exactly what is done, but nobody has figured out how to do it with voice until now." The work will be presented as a keynote speech at an information security conference in Passau, Germany next month.

rapid melting of ice growth in arctic

Arctic sea ice breaks lowest extent on record

This article is based on a media advisory posted by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) on Aug 27, 2012.

Arctic sea ice cover melted to its lowest extent in the satellite record yesterday, breaking the previous record low observed in 2007. Sea ice extent fell to 4.10 million square kilometers (1.58 million square miles) on August 26, 2012. This was 70,000 square kilometers (27,000 square miles) below the September 18, 2007 daily extent of 4.17 million square kilometers (1.61 million square miles).

NSIDC scientist Walt Meier said, "By itself it's just a number, and occasionally records are going to get set. But in the context of what's happened in the last several years and throughout the satellite record, it's an indication that the Arctic sea ice cover is fundamentally changing."

According to NSIDC Director Mark Serreze, "The previous record, set in 2007, occurred because of near perfect summer weather for melting ice. Apart from one big storm in early August, weather patterns this year were unremarkable. The ice is so thin and weak now, it doesn't matter how the winds blow."

"The Arctic used to be dominated by multiyear ice, or ice that stayed around for several years," Meier said. "Now it's becoming more of a seasonal ice cover and large areas are now prone to melting out in summer."

With two to three weeks left in the melt season, NSIDC scientists anticipate that the minimum ice extent could fall even lower.

In 2007, Arctic sea ice extent reached an all-time low in the satellite record that began in 1979. Arctic sea ice follows an annual cycle of melting through the warm summer months and refreezing in the winter. While Arctic sea ice extent varies from year to year because of changeable weather conditions, ice extent has shown a dramatic overall decline over the past thirty years. The pronounced decline in summer Arctic sea ice over the last decade is considered a strong signal of long-term climate warming.

NSIDC will release a full analysis of the melt season in early October, once monthly data are available for September.
