AIRE Mask: Archtype

2012-08-02T19:46:00.001-07:00

Idealized by Joao Paulo Lammoglia, the AIRE mask uses power breath using tiny wind turbines to create electricity. This energy will be used(for exemple) to powered an IOS device. Good idea !

Japanese launch satellites that will write messages in the sky!!

2012-08-01T12:41:00.000-07:00

According to a news site published by SPACE.com, a Japanese group sent to the International Space Station, and a recurring charge for the supply of the ISS, small satellites that, when released, will send messages in Morse code from the sky.

One goal of the project is to allow researchers to test techniques for optical communication and high speed via satellite and small devices, called cubsats, which should shine like stars through high-intensity LED bulbs that will produce flashes.

The researchers hope that these emissions are visible from Earth only with the use of simple binoculars, proving the feasibility of optical communication through these devices. Anyway, a telescope, equipped with an antenna and a photomultiplier, is aligned to receive the main signals, ensuring they are properly registered.

Smart Bed, by OHEA

2012-07-31T09:24:00.002-07:00

All kids remember being nagged by mom or dad to make their beds. Even as grownups, making the bed is still an annoying chore -- especially one that needs to be done again 12 hours later. But Spanish furniture maker OHEA is trying to ease the tedium. Behold the OHEA Smart Bed, a bed from the future that makes itself.

First computer model of a living being

2012-07-27T11:35:00.001-07:00

The complexity of life has prevented scientists to create models of artificial living beings. Up to now.

According to io9, a new scientific project led to the first complete computer model of an organism. This is a first step forward towards creating artificial life and a great achievement in the field of computer models of living organisms.
So far, such efforts have been limited due to the complexity and underlying base to the simpler organisms. Another major challenge was to understand and document all the different "algorithms" that uses a living organism.
Much of the documentation work was done. It needed only someone who caught this and started to model a simulation. A team research led by Stanford Markis Covert, took the information of 900 scientific papers to understand all the interactions of each molecule of the world's smallest bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium. The bacterium has only 525 genes, when E. coli, for example, includes 4288.
Despite the relative simplicity of this bacterium, the team had to isolate more than 1900 parameters to create the computational equivalent of the bacteria. This gave rise to 28 "modules" separated, each governed by an algorithm. These modules were configured to interact properly with each other. The result was a faithful simulation of the bacteria, which led to new information not previously known to biologists.

Galaxy Note II confirmed - August 15th

2012-07-27T08:32:00.000-07:00

We’ve been told by a source close to Samsung (005930) that the company will indeed be introducing a follow-up to the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note II, during its press conference on August 15th. The display is said to be thinner and taller, allowing Samsung to stuff a 5.5-inch screen into a phone that can supposedly be held by humans and not just 7-foot tall Gorillas.

Trashbox with Kinect

2012-07-27T07:17:00.000-07:00

According to Gizmag, the Smart Trashbox was created by a Japanese modder known as FRP, who built a "smart" trashbox, able to pick up trash whenever you shoot.
This technology trashbox can always know where the trash will stop thanks to a sensor that analyzes Kinect space. After computing the trajectory of the object, information is transmitted to the bucket that moves in the direction calculated with the help of the motor base.

Key Masters: 4 Portable Secure Hard Drives Tested

2012-07-26T17:14:00.004-07:00

What extra protection does hardware encryption add?
A system password is a software program like any other, so a determined thief can remove the hard drive from your computer, attach it to another machine, and crack the password. But these drives won't even mount on a PC desktop unless you first pass a hardware-based authentication test: typing a PIN on a keypad, swiping a fingerprint, tapping an RFID badge, or entering a code displayed on a separate dongle. Fail the hardware tests and the drive locks up. Even if somebody cracks open the case and removes the drive, there's still a 128- or 256-bit military-grade encryption algorithm built into the firmware, so your data is run through a digital Cuisinart before it's even written to the disk, rendering it unreadable.

So they're uncrackable?
No. No encryption is. But if you store your sensitive info on one of these drives, there's a very good chance nobody will ever see it without your say-so. Brazilian and FBI codebreakers spent two years trying to decipher data on the hardware-secured drives of a Brazilian banker suspected of money laundering—before giving up in 2010.

What if I lose my passcode?
All these drives have an admin mode; admins can create codes for up to 10 or so users and can reset a forgotten code. If you're not the admin, the "forgot my passcode" drill is somewhat forgiving. You get up to 25 attempts, after which the drive will require a factory-programmed fail-safe code to enable more PIN entries. After 50 or so failed attempts, the drive assumes it's under attack and self-destructs.

Apple patent TV 5D

2012-07-26T15:26:00.001-07:00

The idea is to connect the viewer / user to the screen through various sensors, displays and tactile gloves virtual reality. The goal is not just watching television, but also a more interactive way to play, as in Kinect or Wii and still send signals to other devices, the Cnet news.
Another peculiarity of this idea is that the screen can be done in any material, leading Apple to suggest a screen made of Kevlar, where they could be fired real bullets.
The reality becomes a patent approved by the regulator in the U.S. today, Apple may be able to revolutionize the way we interact with the TV, PC or console.

Kyocera Urbano Progresso, a phone with tissue condition!

2012-07-26T13:42:00.002-07:00

The Urban Progress is a Kyocera phone launched in Japan, that has no need of having any column. The ring tone is passed directly to the user's ear through vibrations, reports the PopSci.
Kyocera uses a Bluetooth headset that transmits the vibrations through the tissue to the ear. Was developed a ceramic emitter that sends the ringing of the phone from the screen, through the skin to the ear.

Future Applications of Graphene

2012-06-28T12:42:00.001-07:00

Imagine taking a thin sheet of foldable material, and wrapping it around your wrist so that it looks like a kind of bracelet. Yet you receive messages on it, and can talk through it to other people. Imagine wanting to buy something and placing this flexible bracelet next to a sensing device by the cash register – and having money taken automatically from your checking or savings account. Imagine then sitting down at a table to lunch, unwrapping this bracelet from your wrist and laying it flat, or even holding it up, and seeing an interactive computer screen before your eyes. How can this be accomplished? hopefully, with graphene.
