This biomed PhD student microblogs with brainwaves
Over 5.6 million people in the US have some form of paralysis, with strokes being the number-one cause, followed by spinal-cord injury. (Arthritis-related movement problems were not included in this survey.) The ability to knock out a quick email, text message, blog post, or tweet is a challenge for over 5M people. University of Wisconsin-Madison biomedical engineering doctoral student Adam Wilson developed a brain-computer interface to post to Twitter using his brain waves. More >>>
Information feeds are one piece of the ubiquitous computing puzzle
In the world model of ubiquitous computing, aka, “Things that think,” significant physical objects have intelligence, temporary storage, sensing components, and often form computing networks. These wireless sensor networks are usually pretty sophisticated: One popular networking protocol is Zigbee, based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard... However, I’m seeing another approach to communications for these proliferating objects that are just so eager to talk with something: Twitter feeds. More >>>
Utilities suffer from CFLs’ poor power factor
Every CFL light contains a small ac-dc power supply with reactive components in it that will affect the CFL’s power factor (PF) – that is, the load presented to the ac line. The closer the PF is to 1, the better. A load with low power factor (<.85) draws more current and is less efficient than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of useful power. The higher currents required by the lower PF devices mean increased energy lost in the grid due to such things as I2R losses. These power losses don’t show up directly on our electricity bill, but the utilities sure see the effects. I put one of my home CFL bulbs on my Kill-O-Watt power meter recently and measured its power factor: It was .57. This is lousy. Although each CFL is only 13W, there are millions of them out there. Why no PF regulation, as there is of higher-power, but less ubiquitous devices? More >>>
Autonomous underwater vehicle by Université du Québec
While at the Embedded Systems Conference I had the pleasure of watching a presentation about an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by a team of students at the École de technologie supérieure (ETS), which even my rusty high-school French tells me is the Superior Technology School. The superiority of the school shows in the vehicle, but also in the students that were involved with the design. It is astonishing that this is an undergraduate project. They call the design S.O.N.I.A. for Système d'Opération Nautique Intelligent et Autonome, which my rusty high-school French translates as “really cool gizmo that drives around the ocean all by itself.” More >>>
Chrysler turbo encabulator double-speak satire ad
My ham radio buddy Rob sent this YouTube video that is a great satire of technical doublespeak. If you want to know how we sound to our bosses and spouses and kids, well here it is. Good thing Early voltage only affects common mode rejection ratio and not noise gain. See? That was real tech-speak and it makes about as much sense as this Chrysler ad does to most people. Rob noted: Pretty good, but I thought these things used a klystron relay in orthogonal conjunction with the stator and that to couple the power an integrator excavator coil was required. Oh well, what do I know? Look under the hood of a modern automobile? I used to think that my '63 Impala with 327 V8 was complex. HAH!! More >>>
