A student had recently installed Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014 SP1 on his Dell Inspiron 7520, running Windows 8.1. Inventor refused to run and crashed with a more or less useless crash report.
It turns out that Dell or possibly someone else hadn’t properly installed the driver for the AMD Radeon HD graphics card. Catalyst Control Center was surely missing.
A trip to support.dell.com to download the current driver for the AMD Radeon HD graphics card was required. I ensured that Inventor always run using the high performance graphics card and that power savings are disabled regardless of the charger being used or not.
Inventor Professional 2014 SP1 now runs happy on said student’s Dell Inspiron 7520.

(Beijing) On July 15, BMW (China) Auto Trading Co., Ltd. announced that it has reached a cooperation with Beijing NavInfo Technology Co., Ltd. NavInfo will provide BMW China with high-precision map services for autonomous driving. This marks another big step forward for BMW China in the development of autonomous driving.
Mr. Gao Le, President and CEO of BMW Group Greater China, said: “High-precision maps are one of the core technologies of autonomous driving. They are irreplaceable in terms of prediction, driving strategy and safety. NavInfo is China’s A leading location service provider and a long-term business partner of BMW China. This cooperation will greatly promote the progress of BMW China in the field of autonomous driving.”
Cheng Peng, CEO of NavInfo, said: “The BMW brand with a century-old history is not only a witness to the development of the world’s automobile industry, but also a promoter of automobile industry revolutions. Now standing on the eve of the autonomous driving revolution, BMW has once again Choosing NavInfo as a peer, we have the responsibility to empower BMW with excellent and reliable products and services, and to be the pioneers leading the times together.”
BMW is one of the first automakers to develop autonomous driving technology, and has an almost paranoid pursuit of the safety and reliability of autonomous driving products. As an important part of the three major elements of autonomous driving, perception, decision-making, and execution, high-precision maps have always been BMW’s focus in the field of autonomous driving.
Compared with traditional navigation maps that are accurate to the “road level”, high-precision maps can achieve information recognition at the “lane level” and “high-precision positioning level”, and even reach centimeter-level accuracy. The location of edges and road signs can also display various obstacles such as non-motorized lanes, sidewalks, curbs, and green belts. Its function is like a nautical chart, accurately marking various information such as coastlines, ports, islands, hidden reefs, and dangerous shoals.
This large amount of accurate environmental information can help BMW self-driving cars accurately locate and understand the surrounding environment, and make optimal driving decisions at any time. In practical applications, high-precision maps can be upgraded online through OTA technology like mobile phone software, and timely update changes in road conditions, including road construction, obstacles, etc., to help cars avoid congestion and risks.
Since 2006, the BMW Group has been striving to realize safe, reliable, convenient and efficient autonomous driving technology. In the autonomous driving market in China, which has the most potential but also has an extremely complex road environment, BMW is also at the forefront. In 2016, BMW demonstrated L3 autonomous driving technology for the first time on the Chengdu Expressway. In 2018, BMW became the first international vehicle manufacturer to obtain an autonomous driving road test license in China.
There is no doubt that the cooperation with NavInfo has added another important weight to BMW’s autonomous driving research and development in the Chinese market. In 2021, the BMW iNEXT mass-produced model will be officially launched, equipped with L3 automatic driving function for the first time. In addition, the BMWiNEXT autonomous driving test fleet will begin testing L4 autonomous driving functions in pilot cities around the world in 2021. At that time, BMW’s autonomous driving products based on cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, high-precision maps, and big data analysis will shine.

What is SIP?
Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) is a communication protocol used to initiate, modify and terminate interactive user sessions. It supports multimedia communications, including voice, video, and messaging. It is widely used in VoIP implementations. It is not necessary for all VoIP implementations but is required to support some advanced features such as device mobility.
To be a little technical, SIP is an application-layer protocol that defines how the devices involved in a conversation exchange information with each other to set up and control a session.
Overall, SIP is a powerful and flexible protocol that enables a wide range of communication services and applications, including voice and video conferencing, instant messaging, and multimedia collaboration tools.
SIP is made up of two main sub-protocols, SIP Calling and SIP Trunking. They are often confused but support different SIP concepts.
SIP Calling is a specialised SIP protocol that enables communications between two or more participants. It establishes an Internet link between devices, initiates the call, including any encryption requirements, and terminates the communications session. It supports voice, data, and messaging.
To make a SIP call, users need a device that supports SIP, such as a SIP-enabled phone, softphone app, or PBX system. They also need to have a SIP account from a SIP service provider, which can provide them with a phone number, calling plan, and other features. The SIP account information is usually provided by the corporate VoIP system, or by the SIP module in a SIP-enabled PBX system.
Once the user has a SIP account and device, they can initiate a call by entering the destination phone number or SIP address. The SIP device sends a request to the SIP server to establish a connection with the destination device. If the connection is successful, the two devices can exchange voice or video data packets to complete the call.
SIP calling offers many benefits, including cost savings, greater flexibility, and advanced calling features. It also enables users to make and receive calls from anywhere with an Internet connection, which is especially useful for remote workers, travellers, or people who need to communicate across different locations.
Implementations of the SIP Calling Protocol on smart devices make the smart device a VoIP-capable device. Users connected to a corporate WiFi network can use their smart device as a VoIP handset. In large sites, such as a campus, users can be contacted on their internal extension number, and make calls wherever they are.
SIP Trunking, like SIP Calling, is used to manage Internet-based communications using the SIP protocols. The difference is that it acts as an interface between an existing internal PBX and the Internet. Organisations can use their existing phone system to make and receive calls without changing their infrastructure, but over the Internet rather than existing PSTN lines. That can be a major cost saving for organisations, particularly those that make long-distance and International calls.
To set up SIP trunking, businesses need a SIP-enabled PBX system and a SIP service provider. The provider will assign a range of phone numbers, which can be used by employees to make and receive calls over the Internet. The provider will also handle the routing of calls between the PBX system and the public switched telephone network (PSTN), which allows for calls to be made to non-SIP devices, such as traditional landline phones.
In summary, in normal operation the SIP service provider acts as a virtual phone line, allowing businesses to make and receive calls using their existing PBX system. This eliminates the need for the maintenance of the expensive hardware and infrastructure associated with traditional phone systems and can significantly reduce communication costs.
SIP trunking also offers greater flexibility and scalability than traditional phone systems, allowing businesses to easily add or remove phone lines as needed. It also provides advanced features such as call routing, caller ID, and call recording.
Overall, SIP trunking is a cost-effective and flexible solution for businesses that want to modernize their communication systems and take advantage of the benefits of VoIP technology.
SIP is a viable option for businesses seeking to reduce their communications costs, while at the same time improving service levels, and internal operational efficiencies. Whether they opt for a full-blown VoIP system incorporating SIP trunking, or a simpler VoIP-based SIP Calling implementation, depends on their individual corporate development plans.

Viking as a Stand-Alone Energy Solution
The Viking wind turbines are compatible with stand-alone systems (also called off-grid systems), where the turbines deliver the energy production directly to an independent unit and are thereby not connected to the electrical grid.
A stand-alone energy solution means that the wind turbines can be placed in areas, where there is no access to an established electrical grid or at places, where the coupling to an electricity supply meter and any added subscription is economically unsustainable.
Instead of connecting to the electrical grid, the production from the wind turbines is stored directly in battery banks or the turbine runs parallel with a diesel generator. From here the electricity will be converted so the energy can be used for various electrical devices.
Furthermore, the Viking VS wind turbine can do without a battery bank and a diesel generator by adding a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) for the wind turbine. Hereby you can use the electricity directly from the wind turbine while it is being produced. The UPS is used for starting up the wind turbines after a period without any wind.
Wind turbines are hereby very valuable in sparsely populated areas and/or remote areas without electricity supply. This could e.g. be isolated settlements or refugee camps as this solution permits lighting, heating, communication with the outside world, and a lot of other necessities, which are essential to a community in the 21st century.

In any real-life project, getting the code written, compiled, and successfully linked is only the first step. The system still needs to be tested, validated, and tuned for best performance and resource consumption. A single-step debugger is frequently not helpful because it stops the system and exactly hinders seeing live interactions within the application. Clogging up high-performance code with
printf statements is usually too intrusive and simply unworkable in most embedded systems, which typically don't have adequate screens to print to. So the questions are: How can you monitor the behavior of a running real-time system without degrading the system itself? How can you discover and document elusive, intermittent bugs that are caused by subtle interactions among concurrent components? How do you design and execute repeatable unit and integration tests of your system? How do you ensure that a system runs reliably for long periods of time and achieves optimal performance?
Techniques based on software tracing can answer many of these questions. Software tracing is a method for obtaining diagnostic information in a live environment without the need to stop the application to get the system feedback. Software tracing always involves some form of a target system instrumentation to log interesting discrete events for subsequent retrieval from the system and analysis.
In a nutshell, software tracing is similar to peppering the code with
printf statements for logging and debugging, except that software tracing is much less intrusive and more selective than the primitive
printf. This quick overview introduces the basic concepts and describes some features you can expect from a commercial-grade software tracing system.
The picture above shows a typical setup for software tracing. The embedded Target system is executing instrumented code, which logs the trace data into a RAM buffer inside the Target. From that buffer the trace data is sent over a data link to a Host computer, which stores, displays, and analyzes the information. This configuration means that a software tracing always requires two components: a Target-resident component for collecting and sending the trace data, and a Host-resident component to receive, decompress, visualize, and analyze the data.
A good tracing solution is minimally intrusive, which means that it can provide visibility into the running code with minimal impact on the target system behavior. Properly implemented and used, it will let you diagnose a live system without interrupting or significantly altering the behavior of the system under investigation.
Of course, it's always possible that the overhead of software tracing, no matter how small, will have some effect on the target system behavior, which is known as the probe effect (a.k.a. the "Heisenberg effect"). To help you determine whether that is occurring, you must be able to configure the instrumentation in and out both at compile-time as well as at run-time.
To minimize the "probe effect", a good trace system performs efficient, selective logging of trace records using as little processing and memory resources of the target as possible. Selective logging means that the tracing system provides user-definable, fine granularity filters so that the target-resident component only collects events of interest—you can filter as many or as few instrumented events as you need. That way you can make the tracing as noninvasive as necessary.
To minimize the RAM usage, the target-resident trace component typically uses a circular trace buffer that is continuously updated, and new data overwrites the old when the buffer "wraps around" due to limited size or transmission rate to the host. This reflects the typically applied last-is-best policy in collecting the trace data. In order to focus on certain periods of time, software trace provides configurable software triggers that can start and stop trace collection before the new data overwrites the old data of interest in the circular buffer.
To further maximize the amount of data collected in the trace buffer, the Target-resident component typically applies some form of data compression to squeeze more trace information into the buffer and to minimize the bandwidth required to uplink the data to the Host.
However, perhaps the most important characteristic of a flexible software tracing system is the separation of trace logging (what is being traced) from the data transmission mechanism (how and when exactly the data is sent to the Host). This separation of concerns allows the transmissions to occur in the least time-critical paths of the code, such as the idle loop. Also, clients should be able to employ any data transmission mechanism available on the Target, meaning both the physical transport layer (e.g., serial port, SPI, USB, Ethernet, etc.) as well as implementation strategy (polling, interrupt, DMA, etc.). The tracing facility should tolerate and be able to detect any RAM buffer overruns due to bursts of tracing data production rate or insufficient transmission rate to the host.
Finally, the tracing facility must allow consolidating data from all parts of the system, including concurrently executing threads and interrupts. This means that the instrumentation facilities must be reentrant (i.e., both thread-safe and interrupt-safe). Also, to be able to correlate all this data, most tracing systems provide precise time-stamping of the trace records.
As mentioned in the introduction, software tracing is especially effective and powerful in combination with the event-driven active object frameworks, such as QP/C or QP/C++. A running application built of active objects is a highly structured affair where all important system interactions funnel through the active object framework and the state-machine engine. This offers a unique opportunity to instrument these relatively small parts of the overall code to gain unprecedented insight into the entire system. For example, the Q-SPY trace data is thorough enough to produce complete sequence diagrams and detailed state machine activity for all state machines in the system. You can selectively monitor all event exchanges, event queues, event pools, and time events because all these elements are controlled by the framework. Additionally, if you use one of the kernels built into QP (the cooperative QV kernel or the preemptive QK kernel), you can obtain all the data available to a traditional RTOS as well, such as context switches and mutex activity.
Q-Spy is a software tracing system that enables a live monitoring of event-driven QP applications with minimal target system resources and without stopping or significantly slowing down the code. The Quantum Spy system consists of the target-resident component, called QS, and the host-resident component running on a host workstation, called QSPY.
The target-resident component of the Q-Spy tracing system is called QS. The QS target component consists of the QS ring buffer, the QS filters, as well as the instrumentation added to QEP, QF, QK/QV, and the application, as shown in figure below. Additionally, starting from QP 5.5.0, the QS target component contains the receive-channel (QS-RX), which can receive data from the QSPY host component.
The main difference between the Q-SPY tracing system and peppering the code with
printf statements is where the data formatting and sending is done. When you use
printfs, the data formatting and sending occur in the time-critical paths through the Target code. In contrast, the QS Target-resident component inserts unformatted binary data into the QS ring buffer, so all the time-consuming formatting is removed from the Target system and is done after the fact in the Host. Additionally, in QS, data logging and sending to the Host are separated so that the target system can typically perform the transmission outside of the time-critical path, for example in the idle processing of the target CPU.
A nice byproduct of removing the data formatting from the Target is a natural data compression. For example, formatted output of a single byte takes two hexadecimal digits(and 3 decimal digits), so avoiding the formatting gives at least a factor of two in data density. On top of this natural compression, QS uses such techniques as data dictionaries, and compressed format information, which in practice result in compression factor of 4-5 compared to the expanded human-readable format.
Most QS trace records produced by the Target are time-stamped with high-resolution. QS provides an efficient API for obtaining platform-specific timestamp information. Given the right timer-counter resource in you Target system, you can provide QS with as precise timestamp information as required. The size of the timestamp is configurable to be 1, 2, or 4 bytes.
Obviously, QS cannot eliminate completely the overhead of software tracing. But with the fine-granularity filters available in QS, you can make this impact as small as necessary. For greatest flexibility, QS uses two complementary levels of filters: Global Filters and Local Filters described below. Combination of such two complementary filtering criteria results in very selective tracing capabilities.
The Global Filters are based on trace record type. This filter allows you to disable or enable each individual trace record type, such as entry to a state, exit from a state, state transition, event posting, event publishing, time event expiration, and over 60 other standard and application-specific event types (see QSpyRecords). This level works globally for all state machines and event publications in the entire system.
The Local Filters are component-specific. You can setup a filter to trace only a specific state machine object, only a specific active object, only a specific time event, etc. The following table summarizes the specific objects you can filter on:
|Example||Applies to QS Records|
One of the greatest strengths of the Q-SPY tracing system is the data transmission protocol. The Q-SPY protocol is very lightweight, but has many the elements of the High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO). The protocol has provisions for detecting transmission errors and allows for instantaneous re-synchronization after any error, such as data dropouts due to RAM buffer overruns.
The Q-SPY protocol has been specifically designed to simplify the data management overhead in the target, yet to allow detection of any data dropouts due to the trace buffer overruns. The protocol has not only provisions for detecting gaps in the data and other errors, but allows for instantaneous re-synchronization after any error to minimize data loss.
The QS protocol transmits each trace record in an HDLC-like frame. The upper part of the figure above shows the serial data stream transmitted from the target containing frames of different lengths. The bottom part of the figure above shows the details of a single frame:
01111110binary string (
0x7Ehexadecimal). Please note that the Q-SPY protocol uses only one HDLC Flag at the end of each frame an no HDLC Flag at the beginning of a frame. In other words, only one Flag is inserted between frames.
The QS target component performs the HDLC-like framing described above at the time the bytes are inserted into the circular trace buffer. This means that the data in the buffer is already cleanly divided into frames and can be transmitted in any chunks, typically not aligned with the frame boundaries.
One of the most important characteristics of HDLC-type protocols is establishing very easily identifiable frames in the serial data stream. Any receiver of such a protocol can instantaneously synchronize to the frame boundary by simply finding the Flag byte. This is because the special Flag byte can never occur within the content of a frame. To avoid confusing unintentional Flag bytes that can naturally occur in the data stream with an intentionally sent Flag, HDLC uses a technique known as transparency (a.k.a. byte-stuffing or escaping) to make the Flag bytes transparent during the transmission. Whenever the transmitter encounters a Flag byte in the data, it inserts a two-byte escape sequence to the output stream. The first byte is the Escape byte, defined as binary
0x7D). The second byte is the original byte XOR-ed with
Of course, now the Escape byte itself must also be transparent to avoid interpreting an unintentional Escape byte as the two-byte escape sequence. The procedure of escaping the Escape byte is identical to that of escaping the Flag byte.
The transparency of the Flag and Escape bytes complicates slightly the computation of the Checksum. The transmitter computes the Checksum over the Fame Sequence Number, the Record ID, and all Data bytes before performing any “byte-stuffing”. The receiver must apply the exact reversed procedure of performing the “byte-un-stuffing” before computing the Checksum.
An example may make this clearer. Suppose that the following trace record needs to be inserted to the trace buffer (the transparent bytes are shown in bold):
Record ID = 0x7D, Record Data = 0x7D 0x08 0x01
Assuming that the current Fame Sequence Number is, say
0x7E, the Checksum will be computed over the following bytes:
Checksum == (uint8_t)(~(0x7E + 0x7D + 0x7D + 0x08 + 0x01)) == 0x7E
and the actual frame inserted into the QS trace buffer will be as follows:
0x7D 0x5E 0x7D 0x5D 0x7D 0x5D 0x08 0x01 0x7D 0x5E 0x7E
Obviously, this is a degenerated example, where the Frame Sequence Number, the Record ID, a Data byte, and the Checksum itself turned out to be the transparent bytes. Typical overhead of transparency with real trace data is one escape sequence per several trace records.
In addition to the HDLC-like framing, the QS transmission protocol specifies the endianness of the data to be little-endian. All multi-byte data elements, such as 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integers, pointers, and floating point numbers are inserted into the QS trace buffer in the little-endian byte order (least-significant byte first). The QS data inserting macros place the data in the trace buffer in a platform-neutral manner, meaning that the data is inserted into the buffer in the little-endian order regardless of the endianness of the CPU. Also, the data-inserting macros copy the data to the buffer one byte at a time, thus avoiding any potential data misalignment problems. Many embedded CPUs, such as ARM, require certain alignment of 16-, 32-, or 64-bit quantities.
The QS Trace Buffers (transmit QS buffer and receive QS-RX buffer) store only complete HDLC frames, which is the pivotal point in the design of the QS target component and has two important consequences.
First, the use of HDLC frames in the buffers enables the last is best tracing policy. The QS transmission protocol maintains both the Frame Sequence Number and the Checksum over each trace record, which means that any data corruption caused by overrunning the old data with the new data can be always reliably detected. Therefore, the new trace data is simply inserted into the circular trace buffers, regardless if it perhaps overwrites the old data that hasn't been sent out yet, or is in the process of being sent. The burden of detection any data corruption is placed on the QSPY host component. When you start missing the frames (which the host component easily detects by discontinuities in the Frame Sequence Number), you have several options. Your can apply some additional filtering, increase the size of the buffer, or improve the data transfer throughput.
Second, the use of HDLC-formatted data in the trace buffers allows decoupling the data insertion into the trace buffers from the data removal out of the trace buffers. You can simply remove the data in whichever chunks you like, without any consideration for frame boundaries. You can employ just about any available physical data link available on the target for transferring the trace data from the target to the host.

On 29 August 2016 , sixteen KYS students participated in the Arduino Workshop organized by UTeM. The workshop was taught by 4 engineering students from UTeM. The workshop started at 3pm with an opening speech. Students paired up and were given a set of Arduino components worth RM400+. There were a total of 6 projects guided by the students of UTeM. Arduino only works when it receives the code from the computer or laptop and the Arduino board connecting to the LED using sensors. The students from UTeM taught us a lot about both the software and the hardware components. The main purpose of this workshop is to encourage students to participate in the state level competition in October 2016 and to help students improve their critical thinking skills. This workshop was held from 3pm to 6pm and ended with a group photo with the engineering students from UTeM.

Alistair McClymont recently completed a three-month residency at the Central Laser Facility - an opportunity made possible by The Arts Catalyst with ArtQuest. Alistair's previous work has included making night-time rainbows, suspending raindrops in mid-air and creating tornadoes with deceptively simple machines. A UK based artist working in sculpture, photography and video, McClymont describes these as ‘phenomena’ artworks, in which he tries to capture natural, often overlooked occurrences and evoke a sense of wonder.
The Central Laser Facility (CLF) produces some of the world’s most powerful light beams, providing scientists with an unparalleled range of state-of-the-art laser technology. These high powered lasers are used to recreate the extreme conditions inside stars and planets, others can reveal intricate detail on a microscopic scale enabling scientists to build up a complex picture of the exact molecular interactions that lead to disease. The CLF also uses laser beam 'tweezers' capable of holding individual micro-droplets that make up clouds helping scientists gain an insight into climate change.
Dr Ceri Brenner is a Physicist who enjoys communicating the extreme and inspiring science that she and others carry out at the Central Laser Facility, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
Alistair McClymont describes his recent project, "My goal with this project is to investigate the strong similarity I see between scientists and artists, I wanted to do this by taking part in their experiment. My hypothesis is that both ultimately search for truth and both see beauty in that truth.

Kia Soul EV Used to Test New Wireless Charging System
In this day and age, we are more reliant on electronics than ever before. We love using our phones and tablets to take pictures, surf the internet, keep tabs on our finances, listen to music, and more. But once the battery is down to 10%, we start to get a little anxious. Luckily, there are wireless charging devices (including ones that can fit in the console of your Kia) that can re-juice your device in no time. And now, thanks to an innovative project from Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCHI), drivers of electric vehicles like the Kia Soul EV may get to enjoy wireless charging in the future!
This new technology innovation was created in conjunction with Mojo Mobility, Inc. (Mojo) over a 3-year time frame. Essentially, it recharges an electric vehicle via an electromagnetic field between a receiver on the bottom of the electric vehicle and a transmitter installed in the floor of your garage. All you would need to do is park your electric vehicle on top of the transmitter and let it do its thing! The wireless charging would allow for an 85% charge so you can conveniently drive to your next destination without worry.
We all know that there are days where you cannot park straight to save your life. With the wireless charging technology from Kia, your electric vehicle will still be able to get juiced up when the transmitter and receiver are not perfectly matched up!
Will the Wireless Technology from Kia Be Available Soon?
As of right now, there are no plans to put this exact version of wireless technology into production, but don’t lose hope! We might be able to see something similar (or better) from Kia in the future as the demand for electric vehicles increases. So keep following our blog for the latest news and details!

What is InviziTrak?
InviziTrak is a piece of filmmaking equipment that allows green screen tracking markers to be recorded separately from the main footage, allowing the compositor to have a set of marker-free frames for chroma-keying and a separate set of frames with tracking markers for match-moving.
How does it work?
Footage is usually shot with a shutter angle of 180 degrees, which means the shutter is only open for half of the frame period. Mechanical film cameras needed to use the time when the shutter was closed to advance the film to the next frame, but digital cameras are actually able to acquire another frame when the shutter would normally have been closed anyway. This can be achieved by setting the camera to shoot at twice the frame rate, and setting the shutter angle to 360 degrees. InviziTrak uses lasers to project tracking markers during this additional frame, and turn them off during the normal frames. The resulting footage will have frames that alternate between having tracking markers and being marker-less.
In post production, the frames with tracking markers can be split off into a separate stream, leaving the footage identical to footage shot at the normal frame rate with a 180 degree shutter angle. There is no loss in quality, motion blur, or light exposure, except now there are no longer any tracking markers that need to be painted out. The tracking markers are all contained in the separate stream, which can be used to calculate the match-move. The match-move will be offset by half a frame, but interpolating the coordinates by half a frame will produce an extremely close approximation in most cases. For jerky shots, a select number of tracking markers can be left on for both set of frames, which improves the match-move but still greatly reduces the number of tracking markers that need to be removed. An additional benefit of InviziTrak is that the duration of the laser pulse can be as short as 1 millisecond, which greatly reduces the amount of motion blur on the tracking marker on fast camera movements.
InviziTrak contains a few pieces of hardware: a sync transmitter, one or more tracking marker projectors, and an iPad with a custom app for control. The sync transmitter extracts the shutter timing from the HD-SDI monitor feed or a TTL shutter sync pulse from the camera, and wirelessly synchronizes the tracking marker projector with the shutter (synchronization from genlock, analog video, and other camera sync outputs will become available in the coming months). The transmitter can synchronize multiple projectors within its radio’s range, typically a few hundred meters.
Each tracking marker projector can control six laser modules. Each laser module is mounted on an adjustable ball joint and can be fitted with different optics to generate dot grids or crosshairs to suit the environment. The brightness of the lasers is similar to that found on green laser pointers; bright enough for most lighting conditions, but not so powerful as to be hazardous. The lasers are also dimmable to adapt to various lighting conditions.
The tracking marker projector comes with several mounting options: Junior/Baby pin for stands, 100x100 VESA for monitor mounts, and Omega twist-lock clamps for overhead lighting grids. For power, it has a 110-220V Neutrik PowerCON input and output connectors, and it also has a Anton Bauer battery bracket for portable use.
InviziTrak comes with an iPad controller with a custom app that lets you adjust the projector’s timing and laser settings. Multiple projectors can be synchronized to the same transmitter, and each laser can be individually configured. When viewing on a monitor at the final desired frame rate (e.g. shooting at 48 fps and viewing at 24 fps), a switch on the iPad app makes the projector place the marker on the alternate set of frames, so that you can preview both sets of frames.

How long do LED bulbs last?
LED bulbs last up to 25,000 hours and may reduce the energy used for lighting in your home by about 80 percent over a traditional incandescent bulb. LED bulbs are efficient because they emit very little heat compared to an incandescent bulb, which releases 90 percent of its energy as heat.
Where can I use LED bulbs?
LED bulbs can be used almost anywhere less efficient bulbs are used: in recessed lighting, table lamps, ceiling fixtures, porch lights, holiday lights and more. The savings can add up. Upgrading 15 inefficient incandescent bulbs in your home could save you about $50 per year. Since most of the bulbs also have longer life spans, you’ll continue to save into the future. Nationwide, lighting accounts for about 10% of home electricity use... (Source: energy.gov, accessed January 2019.)
How safe are LEDs?
LED bulbs are much cooler than incandescent lights, making them a safer bulb. They are sturdier than other bulbs because they are made with epoxy lenses, not glass, and are more resistant to breakage.
How do I know when to replace my LEDs?
One of the benefits of LED bulbs is that they need to be replaced much less often. A string of LED holiday lights could be operating for 40 seasons! An LED bulb typically does not “burn out” or fail like other light sources. Instead, an LED will decrease the amount of light it produces at the end of its useful life. Before removing an LED bulb from the socket, make sure the light switch is turned off. Carefully unscrew the LED bulb. You may visit earth911.com to find locations in your community that recycle LED bulbs. (Source: energy.gov, accessed January 2018)

NEW Cancer Council UV Meters
Following the sell out success of the first generation of Cancer Council UV Meters we are pleased to advise that our new model is almost ready.
The new unit will feature automatic internet connection, simplified installation and reduced operating costs.
Our aim with this design was to achieve a solution that allows you to simply mount the unit on a wall or a pole and switch it on.
We anticipate that the new meters will be available in June 2018.
Why a UV Meter?
With the high rates of skin cancer in Western Australia, SunSmart WA is always looking for innovative and engaging ways to encourage people to protect themselves from the sun.
Many people believe that solar UV radiation is only significant when the weather is hot. The reality is that in Western Australia, the UV levels can be high enough to cause skin damage most of the year. UV meters provide a way to know when UV is high or low and when sun protection is needed each day.
Meters provide a minute by minute reading of solar UV radiation at your location. Designed with its own UV sensor, it reports the UV using the World Health Organization’s UV index, a measure of UV strength and skin damage risk.
About the meters
UV meters are designed for the outdoors, and are robust and weatherproof. The large display digits let people know the current UV level, and this simple signage indicates what sun protection is required. Our standard UV meters are single sided; the display digits are fitted to one side of the meter. However if you would like a meter installed on a pole or other free standing structure, digits can be mounted on both sides of the meter. Once installed the UV meter requires very little maintenance other than a superficial clean.
Why are UV Meters connected to the internet?
Cancer Council UV meters require internet connection. This allows Cancer Council to remotely monitor and calibrate the meters to ensure ongoing accuracy. Firmware updates can also be delivered to the meter via the net. UV meters are connected to the internet via an inbuilt modem using the mobile phone network. Meters come pre-configured with a data plan and require no customer input to connect to the net.
UV Meters in schools
Schools will find these a valuable tool to support their existing sun smart policy. Meters remove any confusion about when children need to wear their hats and apply sunscreen. Data from the meters is downloadable and useful in education programs including maths, IT and science.
UV Meters in the workplace
If you have staff who work out doors, a UV meter is an ever changing reminder of the need for them to be careful in the sun.

Gearlab Engineer Designs a Device to Test Stress on a Paddle
By Declan J. Nowak
What is the mechanism you created?
I designed an Arduino powered force sensor that recorded the force exerted by a paddler’s hands on a paddle. An Arduino is a small lightweight microcontroller that is perfect for data recording applications because it is capable of recording information to an SD card. The device used two force sensors wired to the Arduino (shown in the images below). The force sensors were mounted on moldable plastic frames to fit around a forefinger and thumb. While the sensor would work without a frame to hold it, the force sensor delivers better results when it makes contact between two hard surfaces (paddle and frame), rather than one hard surface (the paddle) and a compressible surface (skin).
What is the premise you hope to achieve with this mechanism?
The goal of the sensor is to measure the force of water on the blade of the paddle. Initially, I tested under “ideal paddling conditions”, which would be a kayaker performing a standard Greenland stroke in calm weather/water conditions. This measurement under ideal conditions will act as a control value to compare the stress on a paddle during rougher water conditions and more strenuous strokes.
Since the blade of the paddle is submerged in the water, it experiences a distributed load from the water, which is challenging to accurately measure. The easiest way to measure this force is through force analysis, which requires identifying the forces applied by the paddler’s hands to calculate the force on the blade of the paddle. Using the sensor, I was able to determine the maximum force a paddler is likely to apply in ideal paddling conditions. With this knowledge, we can compare the results of testing a paddle in many conditions (various strokes and water conditions) to the results recorded in a controlled environment. Knowing the stress point at which a paddle will break in controlled lab tests, and what the average force of a paddle stroke is, Gearlab can ensure that every paddle will handle tough conditions and more than meet the customers’ expectations.
How did you conduct testing?
After programing and wiring the sensor, I attached the frames to my hands and placed the Arduino in a dry bag. I proceeded to paddle around a cove for several minutes while I performed different types of strokes. I used a Greenland forward paddling stroke, brace strokes, and sweep strokes to simulate the standard usage of the paddle. While I paddled, the data was recorded on an SD card. I subsequently downloaded the data onto a spreadsheet and calculated the force on the blade of the paddle for each stroke and graphed it.
What were the results of your testing?
After running the test and calculating the force on the blade of the paddle, I graphed the force to see how it changed as the paddle was used. Each data point on the graph was obtained every tenth of a second. The data shown in the chart represents about 41 seconds of paddling. The data used was the middle 41 seconds of the total 3 minutes of paddling, to exclude the initial force exerted when launching or the deceleration of force when stopping. I determined from the testing and the force analysis that the maximum force was 26.7 kg on the blade of the paddle. From separate lab tests, we already knew that the paddle could easily withstand 50 kg of force in a standard stroke. It required over 70 kg of force during a sweep stroke to break a paddle during laboratory testing. A sweep stroke generates greater stresses within the paddle than a standard paddle stroke since the force is applied at a greater distance from the paddler’s hands. This shows that the maximum force of the paddle is more than double the maximum force on the paddle under normal operating conditions.
*To simplify the graph, no data is recorded when the sensors registered a force of zero.
**While the analysis states that the units of kilograms are a force, the paddle is actually moving the mass of water. The force on the paddle will depend on how fast the paddler is accelerating. For the purposes of this experiment, I assumed that the paddler’s acceleration was the same as the acceleration due to gravity—which is significantly more than the rate a paddler would be accelerating.
How does this serve the consumer?
Gearlab can utilize these results to better serve the consumer by continuing to test their existing paddles to ensure that they will meet the consumer’s expectations. Concrete understanding of the force that a paddle can withstand will assist Gearlab in developing paddles that will withstand all paddling conditions. The idea for this project arose when Gearlab engineers realized that we didn’t know exactly how much force is applied to the paddles during various water and stroke conditions. The best way to begin testing the paddles was to utilize ideal paddling conditions to determine the baseline (“control value”) of stress exerted on a paddle in use. With this information, Gearlab can now stress test their paddles in a controlled way to make sure each paddle that is shipped out will more than meet the customers’ expectations.
How does this serve the brand and product development?
While each kayak paddle company has their own internal standards for product development, Gearlab is working toward establishing a universal standard. This new standard will allow for the consumer to compare the strength of paddles manufactured by different companies, the strength of various lengths and widths of Greenland paddles, and even compare the strength of different types of paddles (such as Euro blades versus Greenland paddles.) The first step was to create a method to calculate the stress on a paddle. The real world test using the sensor while paddling on the water validated the tests that Gearlab conducted in a controlled laboratory setting since the results were similar.
What will this mean to Gearlab as it communicates to the consumer?
This process will allow Gearlab to test their paddles in another manner before sending them to the consumer. While this has not been a problem in the past, Gearlab will have a more definitive metric to test their paddles against to ensure that each paddle manufactured performs superiorly for consumers. In addition, establishing a universal metric for paddle companies will allow Gearlab to quantify the superior strength of their paddles compared to competitors’ products.
What are different improvements and advancements that you can look forward to in additional testing?
Moving forward, the goal is to continue to refine the testing apparatus so the data is easier to analyze. One modification will be to program the Arduino to assign a time to each data point. This will allow us to sync the data to a video clip to see how the paddle reacts to different strokes. In addition, continued testing will help Gearlab confirm the maximum forces that the paddle experiences. One of the major assumptions made with this project was to test the paddle in ideal paddling conditions. This was done to eliminate other potential variables, and to make it easy to troubleshoot the sensor if anything went wrong. However, often times these paddles are used in rough water conditions with significant waves and currents. Therefore, future tests will include using the paddle in a variety of different weather conditions to calculate how the forces on the paddle change.

After a 205-day journey through space that covered 300 million miles, NASA’s three-legged InSight probe descended safely after a final, intricate seven-minute maneuver on the red planet Mars to whoops of joy at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and enthusiasts around the world following live, edge-of-the-seat action on social media platforms. NASA spacecraft ‘InSight’ is designed to burrow beneath the surface of Mars and crack open crucial secrets held deep inside the planet’s rose-hued atmosphere. With Monday’s achievement, Mars has just received its newest robotic resident. It’s been a long wait for NASA’s scientists tracking InSight’s every move since it launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on 5 May. The lander touched down near Mars’ equator on the western side of a flat, smooth expanse of lava called Elysium Planitia – a plain almost as flat as a parking lot – just moments before 3 pm EST.
The InSight team has chosen a “boring” spot for the landing because they want the probe’s two primary instruments, a sensitive seismometer, and an underground temperature probe to be undisturbed – to measure the tiniest fluctuations in the planet’s interior. The mission is expected to last about two Earth years. The stationary 360-kilogram lander will use its 6 feet robotic arm to place a mechanical mole and seismometer on the ground. The self-hammering mole will burrow 16 feet down to measure the planet’s internal heat, while the seismometer listens for possible quakes. No lander has dug deeper on Mars than several inches, and no seismometer has ever worked on the planet.
“Today, we successfully landed on Mars for the eighth time in human history,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “InSight will study the interior of Mars and will teach us valuable science as we prepare to send astronauts to the Moon and later to Mars. This accomplishment represents the ingenuity of America and our international partners, and it serves as a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our team. The best of NASA is yet to come, and it is coming soon.”
Now InSight’s camera has sent back some clearer pictures of the Red Planet, showing a much lighter Mars than you would have imagined. The photo also shows a dusty, rocky surface without any major craters in sight. The new robotic resident sent signals to earth about 12.30pm AEST indicating its solar panels were open and it was collecting sunlight on the Martian surface. The image was relayed from InSight to Earth via NASA’s Odyssey spacecraft, currently orbiting Mars.
NASA last landed on Mars in 2012 with the Curiosity rover. “Landing on Mars is one of the hardest single jobs that people have to do in planetary exploration,” InSight’s lead scientist, Bruce Banerdt, said before Monday’s success. “It’s such a difficult thing, it’s such a dangerous thing that there’s always a fairly uncomfortably large chance that something could go wrong.”
Mars has been the graveyard for a multitude of space missions. Up to now, the success rate at the red planet was only 40 percent, counting every attempted flyby, orbital flight and landing by the U.S., Russia and other countries since 1960.
The U.S., however, has pulled off seven successful Mars landings in the past four decades, not counting InSight, with only one failed touchdown. No other country has managed to set and operate a spacecraft on the dusty surface.

The Lié workflow usually means that you would host the plug-in instrument whose parameters you want to control from Touché (SE) inside of Lié. This makes it possible to save both the sound of the plug-in as well as the tailormade Touché mapping in one preset. That way, presets can be easily recalled and modified at a later point. There is a comprehensive video available here: Creating a new plug-in preset.
For this workflow to function though, the plugin you host inside Lié has to support so-called 'host automation' for its parameters. Unfortunately, some plug-ins don't make (all) their parameters available for host automation. Instead, they are meant to be controlled largely by MIDI CC automation. In these cases, you won't be able to map certain parameters with Lié's Mapping Routine. Sometimes, host automation might be well supported, but just has to be manually activated in some way (video: Fixing mapping issues in Lié). In case of doubt, the plug-in's manual will tell you which kind of automation is supported.
If a parameter inside a plug-in that you want to control only reacts to MIDI CCs, it can help to use a Lié hardware preset (originally meant to control external devices). You will need to route the MIDI coming from Lié to a separate track with the plug-in on it. Unfortunately, hardware presets are only supported by the classic Touché, not by Touché SE.
As long as Touché is in Slave Mode (connected to Lié), it will always send MIDI CCs 16/17/18/19 via its USB port, because Lié needs those CCs to speak with Touché. Even if a hardware preset is loaded in Lié, Touché will continue to send the default CCs to Lié, but Lié will translate those to the CCs that are specified in the selected hardware preset (compare the video tutorial Signals sent in Slave Mode).
In order to to forward the CCs that are specified in the selected hardware preset to another track, you will need to get those CCs out of Lié's MIDI output instead. Simply choose "Lié" as MIDI input for the track that has the plug-in loaded in it.
Please be aware that the forwarding of MIDI messages as described above will only work with the VST version of Lié. It isn't workable when using the AU version of Lié due to an inherent limitation of the AU format.
This workflow is explained in a comprehensive tutorial video where MIDI CCs from Lié are forwarded to a Kontakt sample library inside Steinberg Cubase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqOvRJOycCU
Here is another basic screen recording, that shows a similar process with Ableton Live and Falcon:
Another example with Studio One and Arturia Analog Lab 2:
Touché SE doesn't support hardware presets, but it can still send up to 4 MIDI CCs + pitch bend. However, this is only possible when Touché SE is in its Standalone Mode (salmon colored LEDs). For the moment, as Touché SE owner, if a plug-in does not support host automation, instead of adapting a hardware preset, you would customize the MIDI Setup of Touché SE. You need to configure and save the MIDI Setup of Touché SE in a separate process, and then close any instance of Lié in your project in order to send Touché SE into its Standalone Mode (salmon colored LEDs). That way, you can end up with your SE sending the same CCs as the flagship Touché is able to send. It's just not possible to adapt the MIDI Setup while checking results in real time, and you are limited to one sole MIDI Setup with a maximum of 4 CCs being sent.

First National Bank Technology Center
The First National Technology Center is a state-of-the-art, operations and processing facility for the critical functions of a locally based bank. This facility is one of the first commercial buildings in the United States to use fuel cells to generate power and is the first in the country to use four parallel fuel cells to supply a critical computer load. Due to the critical nature of the operations, the building is "hardened" relative to the physical construction as well as redundant and self-sustaining power systems.
Fuel cells generate electricity in an electrochemical reaction by combining hydrogen from natural gas with oxygen to yield electricity, water, and very small amounts of air pollutants. They are clean, quiet, and efficient. Other environmental and financial benefits of fuel cells include: lower operational costs without compromising reliability or redundancy, as well as the use of clean energy.
The system has extraordinary reliability. Independent verification indicates 99.999997% availability. This calculates to a predicted downtime of less than 1 second per year—the first electrical infrastructure documented with this level of availability.

The Arts Science and Technology Educational Corporation of Tehachapi is a 501(c) non-profit organization that was formed in 2009 to support education in the Tehachapi Valley.
All of our work is aimed at schools in the Tehachapi Valley and we exist solely for the benefit of our students and teachers.
Recently, through a generous grant from the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation, the AST was able to inject new life into a group of three FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO League robotics clubs at Jacobsen Middle School.
The Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation's donation of $2,000 to AST came at a very opportune time. For the past six months, AST had been trying to find a donor that could help us buy three new laptop computers and new robotics kits for these FIRST LEGO League teams.
Most of the teams' old laptop computers could not operate the new programming software for the robots and the few that could had batteries that could only provide power for short periods, if at all. Likewise, the robotics kits the teams used were rapidly becoming outdated for use in the increasingly complex competitions.
Each year the teams compete in robotics challenges that not only hone their computer programming and robotics skills, but also present them with pertinent problems that they could expect to cope with in adult life. For example, this year's challenge is called Nature's Fury and, in addition to learning about robotics and technology, the teams will be working with safety and hazard prevention personnel to create innovative solutions to a problem related to natural disasters.
FIRST LEGO is part of the bigger picture of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education. As stated by the founder of FIRST LEGO, Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway Scooter, the goal of FIRST LEGO League is "to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders." One of the ongoing goals of STEM educators is to get more females interested in STEM careers.
The Jacobsen FIRST LEGO robotics team are doing their part, as 13 of the 29 students on the three teams are female.
One team, in fact, consists of nine female middle school students and one male.
The Jacobsen teams are coached by Thane Lundberg, Nate Howard, Valinda Jockinsen and Kurtis Jackson and the overall program is coordinated by Darcy Hubbard.
The teams have a practice competition on Oct. 26, and then competitive meets start in December.
The JMS teams have done exceptionally well in past years, and this year's teams are looking to keep the momentum going forward. Some of the team members are shown below, hard at work building their robots to meet the requirements of the Nature's Fury mission.
Thanks to the generosity of the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation and the work of AST, a hard-working group of volunteer mentors are helping ambitious and talented students to learn the STEM skills and teamwork that will be needed by our future workforce.
Anyone interested in helping AST or the robotics clubs can contact Joel Beckmann at [email protected].

What is a motherboard?
A motherboard, often referred to as a mobo or mainboard, is like the beating heart of your gaming PC. It's a crucial component that houses the CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and various connectors for peripherals. In essence, it's the central hub that allows all these parts to communicate and work together seamlessly.
For gamers, the motherboard is a critical choice. Different motherboards support specific CPUs and GPUs, so selecting the right one is essential to ensure top-notch gaming performance. Motherboards come in various sizes too, like ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX, which can affect your PC's form factor and expandability. In a gaming PC, the motherboard's role is akin to a referee, ensuring that your CPU, RAM, GPU, and other components work together harmoniously, delivering the immersive and lag-free gaming experience every gamer craves. So, whether you're building a gaming rig from scratch or upgrading your current setup, choosing the right motherboard is a pivotal decision for unleashing your PC gaming potential.
How to check what motherboard I have?
Identifying your motherboard is an important step for PC gamers looking to upgrade or troubleshoot their systems. Luckily, you can determine your motherboard's model and specifications easily:
Check the System Information:
- For Windows: Press Win + R, type "msinfo32," and hit Enter. In the "System Information" window, look for "Baseboard Manufacturer" and "Baseboard Product" under "System Summary." This will provide you with the motherboard's manufacturer and model.
- For macOS: Click the Apple logo, select "About This Mac," and then click "System Report." In the Hardware section, look for "Model Identifier" and "Motherboard Hardware."
Open the Case:
If you're comfortable with hardware, you can power down your PC, open the case, and physically inspect the motherboard. You'll find the model number printed on the board itself.
During the boot-up process, you can often access your PC's BIOS or UEFI settings by pressing a specific key (e.g., Del, F2, F12). Once inside, you can typically find motherboard information under system information or a similar tab.
Use Software Tools:
There are various third-party software tools that can scan your system and provide detailed information about your hardware, including the motherboard. Programs like CPU-Z or Speccy are popular choices.
If you still have the motherboard's manual or documentation from when you first built your PC, the model information will be listed there.
Knowing your motherboard model is essential for ensuring compatibility when upgrading components like RAM, CPU, or GPU. This information also helps when seeking support or drivers for your specific motherboard.
How to update motherboard bios
Updating your motherboard's BIOS is a crucial task for PC gamers, as it can improve system stability, enhance compatibility, and unlock new features. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:
Identify Your Motherboard: Before updating your BIOS, it's vital to know your motherboard's exact model. You can typically find this information in your motherboard's manual or by checking the manufacturer's website.
Download the Latest BIOS Version: Visit the manufacturer's website and locate the support or downloads section. Enter your motherboard model, and you should find the latest BIOS version available for download. Ensure it's compatible with your motherboard.
Prepare a USB Drive: You'll need a USB flash drive to store the BIOS update file. Format it to FAT32 for compatibility.
Backup Your Current BIOS: Enter your motherboard's BIOS settings (usually by pressing Del, F2, or another designated key during startup) and find the option to save your current BIOS settings to a profile. This acts as a safety net in case anything goes wrong during the update.
Update the BIOS: Copy the downloaded BIOS file to your USB drive. Then, restart your computer, enter the BIOS settings again, and find the option for updating your BIOS. The location and wording can vary between motherboard manufacturers, so consult your motherboard manual for specific instructions. You'll typically be prompted to select the BIOS file from the USB drive.
Follow On-Screen Prompts: The BIOS update process may take a few minutes. During this time, do not power off your PC or interrupt the process. Your PC may restart automatically when the update is complete.
Load Optimised Defaults: After the update is successful, it's a good practice to load optimised defaults within the BIOS settings. This ensures that your hardware runs optimally with the new BIOS version.

How ChatGPT Works: Understanding Conversational AI
ChatGPT works by processing text inputs and generating responses based on the context of the conversation. It uses a pre-trained neural network that has been trained on vast amounts of text data to understand natural language.
When a user inputs a message, ChatGPT analyzes the message and generates a response that is appropriate for the context of the conversation.
The model is trained using unsupervised learning, which means that it is not explicitly taught what to do. Instead, it learns by analyzing large amounts of text data and identifying patterns in the language.
This allows ChatGPT to generate responses that are both relevant and natural-sounding.
How AutoGPT Works: Advancements in Natural Language Processing
AutoGPT uses a similar approach to ChatGPT but with additional advancements in NLP. It is a transformer-based model that has been trained on a massive amount of text data and can perform a wide range of language-related tasks.
One of the key advancements in AutoGPT is its ability to perform zero-shot learning. This means that it can generate responses to questions it has never seen before, based on its understanding of language patterns. For example, if asked “Who invented the telephone?”, AutoGPT can generate a response even if it has never been trained on that specific question.
Pre-Training and Fine-Tuning Differences
Both ChatGPT and AutoGPT are pre-trained on large amounts of text data, but the way they are fine-tuned for specific tasks differs. ChatGPT is fine-tuned by feeding it additional conversational data and adjusting its parameters to improve its conversational abilities. AutoGPT, on the other hand, is fine-tuned for specific tasks such as summarization or translation by feeding it text data that is relevant to that task.

A new paper providing a framework for standardisation of bio-logging data and led by Ana Sequeira and involving many MegaMove members has recently been published and made the cover of the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution!
This work is the result of a large collaborative effort involving more than 40 contributors and including key members of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN), Animal Tracking Network (ATN), Ocean Tracking Network (OTN), and the International Biologging Society (IBLS). The work had its roots at the Marine Megafauna Task Team (MMTT) workshop that took place at the OceansOBS’19 conference in Hawaii in 2019, which was attended by a large number of researchers and also key manufacturers of biologging devices. Together we created a framework that allows data flow from manufacturers through to repositories. Key to this framework are the researchers contributing with biologging datasets and therefore specific attention was paid to ensuring integration of all the necessary information for accuracy-of-use, rightful attribution and data preservation security.
This research provides a valuable addition to the movement ecology literature, and is crucial to the developments of the MegaMove project, especially in current times when data derived from bio-logging devices is increasing at unprecedented rates.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s spacecraft arrived on the surface of the moon early Saturday, but it wasn’t immediately clear if the landing was a success, because the Japanese space agency said it was still “checking its status.”
More details about the spacecraft, which is carrying no astronauts, would be given at a news conference, officials said. If the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, landed successfully, Japan would become the fifth country to accomplish the feat after the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India.
SLIM came down onto the lunar surface at around 12:20 a.m. Tokyo time Saturday (1520 GMT Friday).
As the spacecraft descended, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s mission control said that everything was going as planned and later said that SLIM was on the lunar surface. But there was no mention of whether the landing was successful.
Mission control kept repeating that it was “checking its status” and that more information would be given at a news conference. It wasn’t immediately clear when the news conference would start.
SLIM, nicknamed “the Moon Sniper,” started its descent at midnight Saturday, and within 15 minutes it was down to about 10 kilometers (six miles) above the lunar surface, according to the space agency, which is known as JAXA.
At an altitude of five kilometers (three miles), the lander was in a vertical descent mode, then at 50 meters (165 feet) above the surface, SLIM was supposed to make a parallel movement to find a safe landing spot, JAXA said.
About a half-hour after its presumed landing, JAXA said that it was still checking the status of the lander.
SLIM, which was aiming to hit a very small target, is a lightweight spacecraft about the size of a passenger vehicle. It was using “pinpoint landing” technology that promises far greater control than any previous moon landing.
While most previous probes have used landing zones about 10 kilometers (six miles) wide, SLIM was aiming at a target of just 100 meters (330 feet).
The project was the fruit of two decades of work on precision technology by JAXA.
The mission’s main goal is to test new landing technology that would allow moon missions to land “where we want to, rather than where it is easy to land,” JAXA has said. If the landing was a success, the spacecraft will seek clues about the origin of the moon, including analyzing minerals with a special camera.
The SLIM, equipped with a pad to cushion impact, was aiming to land near the Shioli crater, near a region covered in volcanic rock.
The closely watched mission came only 10 days after a moon mission by a U.S. private company failed when the spacecraft developed a fuel leak hours after the launch.
SLIM was launched on a Mitsubishi Heavy H2A rocket in September. It initially orbited Earth and entered lunar orbit on Dec. 25.
Japan hopes a success will help regain confidence for its space technology after a number of failures. A spacecraft designed by a Japanese company crashed during a lunar landing attempt in April, and a new flagship rocket failed its debut launch in March.
JAXA has a track record with difficult landings. Its Hayabusa2 spacecraft, launched in 2014, touched down twice on the 900-meter-long (3,000-foot-long) asteroid Ryugu, collecting samples that were returned to Earth.
Experts say a success of SLIM’s pinpoint landing, especially on the moon, would raise Japan’s profile in the global space technology race.
Takeshi Tsuchiya, aeronautics professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, said it was important to confirm the accuracy of landing on a targeted area for the future of moon explorations.
“It is necessary to show the world that Japan has the appropriate technology in order to be able to properly assert Japan’s position in lunar development,” he said. The moon is important from the perspective of explorations of resources, and it can also be used as a base to go to other planets, like Mars, he said.
SLIM is carrying two small autonomous probes — lunar excursion vehicles LEV-1 and LEV-2, which will be released just before landing.
LEV-1, equipped with an antenna and a camera, is tasked with recording SLIM’s landing. LEV-2, is a ball-shaped rover equipped with two cameras, developed by JAXA together with Sony, toymaker Tomy and Doshisha University.
JAXA will broadcast a livestream of the landing, while space fans will gather to watch the historic moment on a big screen at the agency’s Sagamihara campus southwest of Tokyo.

- Parts with complicated geometries: one of the main limitations in conventional manufacturing methods is that parts with complicated and spatial geometries are difficult or in some cases impossible to make. This has severe impact on the design of the parts. Development of AM techniques has solved these problems provided new design opportunities. One of the important aspects in part design is the topological optimization which could be done by numerical analysis using software like ABBAQUS. Hence AM techniques have made it possible to design parts with complicated geometries.
- Materials for 3D Printing: from the birth of the additive manufacturing the choice of the materials used in this process has always been a challenge. Polymers, ceramics, composites and metals are being used for the 3D printing processes but each one has its own limitations and shortcomings. FDM is the main process used for the 3D printing and commonly uses a polymer which is heated up to melt and extruded through a nozzle to form the required geometry. However metallic alloys could not be printed in this way and metal powders are used in conjunction with laser beams to print the parts. Low strength, cavities and pores are amongst the defects which form during printing. It would be ideal if one could use metallic wires just like polymeric wires are used in the FDM process to print metallic parts.
To achieve such a goal a PhD project is currently is being done in the AM LAB at the School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran using semi solid metal alloy. This process has been named Semi Solid Metal Extrusion and Deposition (SSMED). It is a promising technique to overcome the existing limitation paused by the present metal 3D printing techniques.
- New AM Methods: Although AM process have been developed in a variety of methods nevertheless there is still plenty of room to progress. For example 3D printing of a components containing more than one material is such goal. Materials, processes, properties and performance go hand in hand and new AM methods could definitely help to promote different aspect for each of these parameters.
- Optimization of the present AM techniques: Most of the already developed AM techniques need further improvement and could be optimized in one way or another. For example advancements in areas such as geometric size tolerances, strength, hardness, flexibility, toughness, smoothness, process control parameters such as production speed, and other factors could be tackled by researchers. These are also amongst the objectives of this lab.

Q: How can you convert amps to volts using the power formula?
A: The voltage (V) in volts can be calculated using the power formula: V(V) = P(W) / I(A), where P is power in watts and I is current in amps.
Q: Is there another method to convert amps to volts?
A: Yes, you can also convert amps to volts using Ohm's Law. The formula is: V(V) = I(A) × R(Ω), where I is current in amps and R is resistance in ohms.
Q: What does voltage measure in an electric circuit?
A: Voltage measures the electric potential in a circuit, indicating the ability to move electric charge. It's measured in volts, where 1 Volt signifies the potential needed to move 1 ampere of current against 1 ohm of resistance.
Q: How can the power formula be used to convert amps to volts?
A: To convert amps to volts using the power formula, divide the power (P) in watts by the current (I) in amps. The formula is: V(V) = P(W) / I(A).
Q: Can you provide an example of converting amps to volts using the power formula?
A: Certainly. Let's say a device uses 120 watts of power with a current of 10 amps. Using the formula V(V) = P(W) / I(A), the calculation would be: V(V) = 120 W / 10 A = 12 V.
Q: How does Ohm's Law come into play when converting amps to volts?
A: Ohm's Law relates voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R). To convert amps to volts using Ohm's Law, multiply the current (I) in amps by the resistance (R) in ohms. The formula is: V(V) = I(A) × R(Ω).
Q: Are both methods equally applicable for any scenario?
A: Both methods are applicable for different scenarios. The power formula is useful when you know the power and current, while Ohm's Law is helpful when you know the current and resistance.
Q: What are the key units involved in the conversion from amps to volts?
A: The conversion involves units like amps (A), watts (W), ohms (Ω), and volts (V). Amps measure current, watts measure power, ohms measure resistance, and volts measure voltage.
Q: Can you summarize the two methods for converting amps to volts?
A: Yes. To convert amps to volts, you can use the power formula (V(V) = P(W) / I(A)) when power and current are known, or you can use Ohm's Law (V(V) = I(A) × R(Ω)) when current and resistance are known. Both methods provide a way to determine voltage in an electric circuit.

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) -- Kanagawa police said Wednesday they have installed traffic lights powered by solar energy in the city of Kawasaki on a trial basis to prepare for an emergency blackout in case of a major natural disaster.
The prefectural police department said it hopes to develop a new type of traffic lights in cooperation with Yokohama-based Kyosan Electric Manufacturing Co., which can be installed across the country in the future.
The prototype traffic lights, which use two 120x53 centimeter solar panels that supply electricity during the day, are installed at a street crossing in Saiwai Ward of Kawasaki.
The nighttime power will be provided by Tokyo Electric Power Co., while surplus electricity will be stored in a battery in case of a blackout.
In Kanagawa, traffic lights temporarily became unusable at some 15,000 locations in the wake of the power rationing following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami as well as subsequent nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
However, the local police could send police officers only to 3,400 points among them.

Hi guys, Does anyone in the forum know if Magneto Speed have a way to connect the V3 Chrono through Bluetooth, instead of their XFR adapter, which only works if your phone has a 3.5 mm jack interface? I emailed Magneto Speed about it, I just haven't received and response from them yet. I figure I should ask the forum, just in case anyone had ask this same question before. Thank you! BASTi
This thread is a carry-over from the one covering the DIY cable for the ProChrono Digital USB interface. I figured a new thread would be appropriate to keep the wired vs. wireless discussions organized. The detailed instructions in the attached PDF file cover building a Bluetooth interface for the ProChrono Digital chronograph. In short, it describes how to build a Bluetooth receiver and use it to make a wireless connection between the ProChrono Digital and the PCRemote software on a PC. Two warnings, though: First, If you attempt this build there is a chance you could break any and all of the parts, including your chronograph. Do not attempt this if you are not comfortable installing Windows drivers & software, using a soldering iron, and guarding against electrostatic discharge (ESD). You alone are responsible for what happens to your equipment.Second, getting serial devices working over Bluetooth in Windows is straight-up voodoo. Seriously. There's about a 50/50 chance the Bluetooth receiver will work on the first pass through the instructions, and it's entirely possible to do everything right and still end up with a receiver that doesn't work. YMMV, but just know this up front.Having said that, here's a list of the components you'll need: Bluetooth-to-Serial Module ($7-18) CP2102 USB-to-Serial UART/TTL Module ($5-10) Switching Voltage Regulator ($5-6) Battery(ies) ($2-5) Battery Holder ($2-3) ⅛” (3.5mm) stereo cord and/or jack ($3-7) Power Switch (optional) ($1-2) 10kΩ Resistor ($1) Small Project Box/Enclosure ($3-7) So, depending on what components you select and how particular you are, you can build the Bluetooth receiver for +/- $45. I had a lot of fun working on this build. The majority of my electronics projects up to this point usually involved either a PC power supply or a 12V car battery. What you see in the instructions is a culmination of the lessons learned and the do-overs I worked through over the course of building the prototype. If you have any suggestions to add, please post them here or PM me. (I'm still looking for a 3.5mm stereo jack with an isolated SPDT switch that closes when the plug is inserted.) On my wish list of future projects: Get the Bluetooth receiver integrated inside the ProChrono Digital housing. Find some enterprising coder(s) to write an Android equivalent of the PCRemote software now that we have a Bluetooth option. Edit 6/9/13: I'll try to post some pics of the build once I clear the minimum post limit. DIY Bluetooth Interface for ProChrono Digital v1.0.pdf

The Role of Virtual Reality in Enhancing Online Education Platforms:
Online education has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years, becoming an integral part of the global educational landscape. As technology advances, the integration of virtual reality (VR) into online education platforms has emerged as a transformative force, promising to revolutionize the way students learn and educators teach. In this article, we delve into the role of virtual reality in enhancing online education platforms.
1. Understanding Virtual Reality in Education: Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that creates a simulated environment, often through the use of specialized hardware such as VR headsets. In education, VR aims to transport learners into immersive, three-dimensional worlds, providing an experience that goes beyond traditional online methods. This immersion allows students to engage with content in ways that mimic real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of complex subjects. Whether exploring historical landmarks, conducting virtual experiments, or navigating mathematical concepts in a spatial context, the potential applications of VR in education are vast.
The immersive nature of VR can captivate students’ attention and interest, making learning more engaging. Traditional online education often relies on text, images, and videos, which might not fully capture the attention of all learners. With VR, students can actively participate in their learning, interacting with the environment and manipulating objects. This dynamic engagement has been shown to enhance information retention, as learners are more likely to remember experiences rather than passively consumed content.
2. Improved Engagement and Retention: One of the most significant advantages of incorporating VR into online education is its impact on student engagement and information retention. Traditional online learning methods sometimes struggle to keep learners actively involved, leading to decreased focus and lower retention rates. VR addresses this challenge by providing an immersive and interactive environment where students are not just consumers of information but active participants in their learning journey.
Studies have shown that the sensory-rich experiences offered by VR contribute to better information retention. The spatial and contextual memory formed in virtual environments can enhance the recall of learned material. For example, medical students using VR simulations for anatomy studies have demonstrated higher retention rates compared to traditional methods. The ability to explore three-dimensional models of organs and systems in VR allows for a more intuitive and memorable learning experience.
3. Real-world Simulations for Practical Learning: VR’s ability to create realistic simulations opens up new avenues for practical learning in diverse fields. Virtual laboratories, simulations, and field trips provide students with hands-on experiences that might be challenging or expensive to replicate in the physical world. For instance, chemistry students can conduct experiments in a virtual lab, manipulating virtual chemicals and observing reactions in a safe and controlled environment.
The practical applications of VR extend beyond the sciences. Industries such as aviation, engineering, and healthcare leverage VR simulations to train professionals in realistic scenarios. Flight simulators, for example, have been a staple in pilot training for years, and VR enhances the fidelity and accessibility of such simulations. This capability allows learners to practice skills, make decisions, and learn from mistakes in a risk-free setting, ultimately enhancing their preparedness for real-world challenges.
4. Customized Learning Paths: VR technology, coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), enables the creation of customized learning paths tailored to individual student needs. Traditional online education often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, delivering the same content to all students regardless of their learning styles or paces. VR, with the support of AI algorithms, can adapt the learning experience based on each student’s progress, preferences, and performance.
Adaptive learning in VR involves analyzing a student’s interactions within the virtual environment, tracking their strengths and weaknesses. AI algorithms can then adjust the difficulty level, content sequence, or instructional methods to suit the individual learner. This personalized approach not only accommodates diverse learning styles but also ensures that students receive the support and challenges they need to optimize their educational experience.
5. Overcoming Geographical Barriers: Virtual reality has the power to transcend geographical limitations in education. Traditional online classrooms, while offering flexibility, may still be constrained by the physical locations of students and educators. VR brings a sense of presence and connection by creating virtual classrooms where learners from different parts of the world can converge in a shared educational space.
Virtual classrooms in VR environments mimic the real-world interaction found in physical classrooms. Students can communicate with each other, collaborate on projects, and engage in discussions as if they were in the same room. This not only fosters a sense of community but also exposes learners to diverse perspectives and cultural backgrounds. Additionally, guest lectures, expert sessions, and collaborative projects become more accessible, enriching the overall educational experience for students regardless of their geographic location.
6. Enhanced Teacher Training and Professional Development: Virtual reality extends its transformative impact beyond student learning to the realm of teacher training and professional development. Educators can leverage VR simulations to hone their teaching skills in a risk-free and controlled environment. For example, VR scenarios can replicate challenging classroom situations, allowing teachers to practice effective classroom management, adaptability to diverse student needs, and innovative teaching strategies.
Furthermore, VR can facilitate collaborative professional development sessions, enabling teachers from different locations to engage in simulated workshops, share best practices, and collectively enhance their teaching methods. This immersive training not only improves the skills of individual educators but also contributes to the overall quality of education by fostering a community of well-prepared and adaptable teachers.
7. Addressing Accessibility and Inclusivity: Incorporating virtual reality into online education platforms opens up possibilities for addressing accessibility challenges and promoting inclusivity. VR applications can be designed with features catering to different learning needs and abilities. For instance, subtitles, sign language interpretation, and audio descriptions can be integrated into VR experiences to make content accessible to students with hearing or visual impairments.
Moreover, the customizable nature of VR allows for the creation of interfaces that accommodate various learning preferences. Students can adjust the pace of instruction, choose alternative formats for content presentation, or utilize assistive technologies seamlessly within the virtual environment. By prioritizing accessibility, VR contributes to creating an inclusive educational landscape where all students, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities, can actively participate and thrive.
8. Ethical Considerations and Challenges: As virtual reality becomes more prevalent in education, it is crucial to address ethical considerations and challenges associated with its implementation. Data privacy is a paramount concern, as VR platforms collect substantial amounts of information about user interactions and behaviors. Strict guidelines and regulations must be in place to ensure the responsible handling and protection of sensitive student data.

Because of its central role in the viral infection mechanism, the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein is a major focus of COVID-19-related therapeutics, vaccine and diagnostics development.
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors are valuable tools for research and diagnostics, as they provide an unmatched information depth on various biomolecular interactions with immobilized binders (ligands).
To meet the rapidly increasing demand for COVID-19-related research tools, XanTec presents the first cross-platform, ready-to-use COVID-19 SPR sensor chip. It consists of SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein homogenously preimmobilized on XanTec’s proprietary ultra-low-background polycarboxylate HC surface. This new surface is a versatile tool for various applications in clinical and pharmaceutical COVID-19 R&D and available for the following SPR instruments:
- Biacore® - C, 1000-4000, X100, T100, T200, S200, 8K, 8K+
- Reichert/AMETEK - 2SPR, 4SPR, SR7500DC, SR7000DC
- Carterra* - Carterra LSA
- IBIS - MX 96
- Bruker/Sierra Sensors: SPR-2/4, MASS-1/2, Sierra SPR-24 Pro, Sierra SPR-32
- BioNavis - 200 (OTSO), 400 (KONTIO), 210A (VASA), 220A (NAALI), 420 (ILVES)
- Horiba – XelPlex, OpenPlex
- Sartorius/Molecular Devices – Pioneer, PioneerFE
* For inquiries please contact the instrument manufacturer.
The C19RBDHC30M sensor chip was primarily developed for fast and label-free detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from patient serum for R&D purposes. As the sample matrix contains serum and is thus prone to nonspecific interactions, a highly bioinert chip coating, optimized reagents, and an adapted protocol are essential for highly specific and sensitive detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
This is where all the optimized characteristics of XanTec’s bioinert polycarboxylate (HC) coating come into play compared with carboxymethyldextran (the coating that is normally used):
- Very low background, even with complex sample matrices like serum.
- Extremely hydrated hydrogel matrix stabilizes the immobilized RBD protein.
- Good permeability for the analytes (antibodies) increases the signal intensity.
- Superior ligand accessibility.
- Negligible mass transport limitation due to very thin hydrogel coating.
The SARS-CoV-2 RBD sensor chips are especially advantageous for imaging SPR (iSPR) systems (e.g., Carterra, IBIS MX96, etc.) in which many patient samples can be applied to the sensor chip surface in parallel to check for an immunological response (IgG, IgA, IgM).
Using the RBD protein in combination with the bioinert polycarboxylate surface ensures high specificity and sensitivity and also prevents false-positive results from samples from patients with earlier coronavirus infections or high nonspecific binding (Figs. 1a & b).
Figure 1a. Overlaid sensorgrams of injected COVID-19-positive and -negative diluted human serum on XanTec SARS-CoV-2 RBD sensor chip. Blue sensorgrams: COVID-19-negative; red sensorgrams: COVID-19 positive. Readout (Response 1) after washing at 1200 sec. Sensor chip: XanTec C19RBDHC30M, Instrument: Reichert 4SPR.
Figure 1b. Improved signal-to-noise ratio by injection of XanTec’s washing buffer. R1 without, and R2 after washing step. P: Positive samples, N: Negative samples. The red dotted line indicates the three-fold nonspecific binding (biological noise) above which a sample is determined as COVID-19-positive after washing buffer injection. E. g., sample 2N becomes clearly negative, while sample 3P can be identified as positive. Sensor chip: XanTec C19RBDHC30M, Instrument: Reichert 4SPR.
To optimize the performance of the C19RBDHC30M sensor chip, we offer the following adapted reagents:
- Referencer Reagent. For many assay developments involving anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, homogeneously prederivatized sensor chips are already a valuable tool. Nonetheless, many instruments require an internal reference surface. As, because of manufacturing restraints, such a reference channel cannot directly be included on the sensor chip, Xantec has developed a “Referencer Reagent”, which inactivates the preimmobilized protein ligand in the reference channel and creates an inert reference surface by means of one short injection.
- Washing buffer. Stringent buffer solution to remove loosely adsorbed sample components, while the specifically bound antibodies remain on the chip surface.
- Mild regeneration buffer that reliably removes most analytes after exposure to human serum or other binders without affecting the structure and activity of the RBD protein.
With the COVID-19 RBD sensor chip and tailored reagents, XanTec brings considerable added value to pharmaceutical, vaccine and diagnostic research and underlines its leadership in the field of SPR sensor chip technology.
- First commercially available cross-platform COVID-19 chip surface.
- Ready-to-use SPR biosensor with preimmobilized SARS-CoV-2 RBD saves time, labor and reagent cost.
- Immobilized SARS-CoV-2 RBD yields more specific signals compared with the complete S1 spike or nucleocapsid protein.
- The underlying HC polycarboxylate hydrogel coating stabilizes the RBD ligand for long-term storage.
- Negligible nonspecific binding from serum proteins without blocking steps drastically reduces the occurrence of false-positive results. In combination with XanTec’s optimized washing buffer, positive and negative samples can be discriminated clearly.
- A mild regeneration buffer allows reuse of the chip surface and makes the assay cost-effective.

Calibrating your Screens for Perfect Colour
Correctly calibrated screens allow images to be adjusted to perfection, in the knowledge that others will see the image as you do
Pictures rely on composition, light, contrast and colour
The look of a picture on the screen or printed page is critical and highly reliant on how the monitor or screen was setup when the picture was processed. Out of the box a monitor cannot be relied upon to give an accurate view of your image, and prints will not match either.
Accurately calibrated monitors will be consistent across devices and software like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Prints will match screens too.
How to guarantee an accurate view of your image?
Calibrite Display Plus HL calibrator
The steps to accurate colour are inexpensive, quick and strightforward.
A calibration device is plugged into the computer’s USB port, and dedicated but free software used to perform a guided screen calibration taking between 5 and 10 minutes.
Calibrating a screen is quick and easy
During the process, simple guided changes are made to screen brightness by the user. On sophisticated monitors, directed changes can be made to colour values too. The result is an .icc or .icm colour profile that characterises the monitor, ensuring that luminance and colour values match universally agreed standards, so the images you are adjusting will be displayed accurately on other devices and print consistently.
Ideally the process is repeated once a month, ensuring consistent brightness and colour accuracy.
A simple calibration device reads back the colours and luminance values displayed by the software to perform a guided screen calibration taking between 5 and 10 minutes.
Individual Camera Calibration
Calibrating the monitor is the first step. By buying a bundle with Calibrite Display calibrator and a ColourChecker Passport Photo or Video you have the means to quickly calibrate your own camera , ensuring accurate colour from every scene.
Calibrating a camera will be covered in the next article.
Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 for calibrating cameras or scenes
Nick has been involved in colour management since the mid-90s, when he purchased the first Apple self-calibrating monitor. The journey later took him on to more accurate screen calibration devices from Gretag Macbeth, then into printer and camera calibration. Along the way he was privileged to work on a major international project with Reuters and Adobe, then onto testing Canon’s large format printer products and photo paper for manufacturers.
Nick worked closely with X Rite in the noughties, writing a 5-part article on colour management for Canon Europe's professional website. X Rite has now been evolved and and rebranded as Calibrite to separate the industrial sector from photography and consumer products. Nick is delighted to be working with them once again, helping both clients and photography workshop guests to generate colour perfect images from their cameras and software like Lightroom and Photoshop.
The Display Plus HL is the top of the range product for screen calibration. There are other more affordable options, deepening on your needs
Since I wrote this post, Calibrite have launched the more affordable 123 calibrator, priced at under £100.
It is well worth a look for simple screen calibration, and with 15% off (see below) it is extremely good value.
The Calibrite 123 starts at under £100 with discount. While not suitable for all photographic uses, it is a great start point for simple screen calibration at a very affordable price
For anyone interested in accurate colour,
Please contact us. Nick offers remote and in-person training on colour management.
Calibrite have kindly offered a 15% Discount off their calibration products to WildPhotographer customers - contact Nick for details

Collaboration of people and machines is a major aspect of the World Wide Web and as well of the Semantic Web. As a result of the collaboration process, structural and content interferences as well as varying models and contradictory statements are inevitable. Currently the collaboration on Linked Data Sets is mainly done by keeping a central version of a dataset. This central approach for a synchronized state has drawbacks in scenarios in which the existence of different versions of the dataset is preferable. Furthermore, the evolution of a dataset in a distributed setup is not necessarily happening in a linear manner. We present a system that fosters the evolution of a dataset in a distributed collaborative setup and supports divergence of datasets as asynchrony and dissent; reconcile diverged states of datasets; and synchronize different distributed derivatives of the dataset. The data is kept in a distributed version control system with support to branch, merge, and synchronize distributed RDF datasets. Each version can be queried and updated via a standard SPARQL 1.1 Query & Update interfaces as well as the related provenance information. The system allows to build knowledge engineering processes similar to well established methods from the software engineering domain.

This is achieved using an artificial intelligence model, based on a combination of current and previous observations about the patient.
Altegix is fully automated. It can handle many thousands of data points per hour and is flexible enough to be modified for client specific requirements.
Altegix improves the standard of patient care through early detection and intervention of potentially life threatening events.
The Altegix Application
Altegix combines a group of integrated apps to deliver the predictive outcome. It creates a risk score within minutes of the input data becoming available. For patients at risk, the responsible doctor receives a message (using their preferred device; pager or mobile phone) that the patient’s results are outside the agreed limits. The clinician then reviews the data, reviews the patient and can implement interventions for the patient as may be required.
Altegix has been validated with good predictive sensitivity and specificity over five years at two Melbourne hospitals. Specifically, the power of pathology information to predict the occurrence of MET calls, intensive care admissions and deaths demonstrates good clinical validity (based on statistical significance and validation through professional clinician opinion) across a cohort of 106,790 patients. Research findings concluded that Altegix has a predictive value ranging from fair to excellent, depending on its pathology inputs, in identifying patients at risk, on average, 10.2 hours before the event in ward patients and 11.9 hours in emergency patients.

Max Planck (1858 - 1947)
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, FRS (April 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) was a German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory. This theory revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized the understanding of space and time. Together they constitute the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics.

When the nucleus of an atom does not hold together well, it loses energy and mass which are emitted from the atom as radiation. Known as radioactive decay, this phenomenon occurs in certain atoms, which are said to be unstable. The three most common types of radioactive decay are: beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay.
The electromagnetic force works to push the positively-charged protons away from one another. However, another force, the strong force, tends to pull subatomic particles together. Since neutrons have no electrical charge and yet, like protons, are acted upon by the strong force, they act as a kind of glue inside an atom’s nucleus. Having not enough glue, or too much glue, makes an atom unstable, so that it undergoes a process called radioactive decay. The number of protons in an atom’s nucleus defines which element it is, but for each element the number of neutrons can vary. Known as isotopes, these differing forms of each element are distinguished by a number written as a superscript to the left of the atomic symbol (indicating the total number of protons and neutrons), and vary in their stability. For some elements, just one isotope is stable, for some two or more isotopes are stable, while for many of the heavy elements none of their isotopes are stable. For example, hydrogen occurs as three isotopes: protium (1H), whose nucleus consists of just a proton, deuterium (2H), whose nucleus consists of a proton and one neutron, and tritium (3H), whose nucleus consists of a proton and two neutrons. 1H and 2H are stable, while tritium decays in a process known as beta decay to an isotope of helium, called helium-3 (3He, consisting of two protons and one neutron), though most helium found on Earth is of another isotope, 4He, containing two neutrons.
Specifically, the radioactive decay occurring in tritium is known as beta- decay. Essentially what happens is that one of the two neutrons converts to a proton, in the process creating an electron, which is emitted from the atom as a negatively-charged beta particle (plus a particle known as an electron antineutrino). Stable isotopes of carbon are 12C, with six neutrons, and 13C, with seven neutrons, while 14C (eight neutrons) and 11C (five neutrons) are unstable. Like tritium, 14C undergoes beta- decay; this results in the conversion of 14C to a nitrogen isotope, 14N. In contrast 11C, undergoes a process called beta+ decay, resulting in boron-11 (11B). Unlike beta- decay, beta+ yields a positively-charged beta particle known as a positron (plus a particle known as an electron neutrino). Another example of beta+ decay is fluorine-18 (18F), which decays to oxygen-18 (18O). It’s important to know about 18F beta+ decay, as this is the most common isotope used in positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, a vital imaging modality in medicine. Similarly, phosphorus-32, phosphorus-33, and sulfur-35, all of which undergo beta- decay, are used extensively in biology research. Beta particles also are called beta radiation.
Another type of radioactive decay is characterized by the emission from an atomic nucleus of a particle much larger than a beta particle. It can be a proton or neutron, or a cluster protons and neutrons. Mostly commonly, it is a cluster known as an alpha particle, also called alpha radiation, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, which is to say a nucleus of 4He. This form of decay occurs in certain very large atoms such as uranium-238 (238U) , radium-226, and radon-222. Finally, there is a type of radioactivity characterized by a transfer of energy from the nucleus, not as a beta particle or a larger particle, but as high-energy electromagnetic radiation. The most common subtype of this category is gamma decay, characterized by a nucleus releasing a very high energy photon (particle of electromagnetic radiation) known as a gamma ray, or gamma radiation.
Whether decaying through beta, alpha, or gamma decay, each radioactive isotope has a specific rate by which it decay into something else. This rate of decay is defined mathematically by the half-life, the amount of time that it takes for half of the atoms of a sample of an unstable element to decay to a different element. The duration of the half-life varies enormously from isotope to isotope, and often the product is itself unstable and thus subsequently decays into yet something else.

For the last few weeks I’ve been exploring Augmented Reality (AR)Â and how it might aid mobile learning by testing various AR apps available for the iPhone. As is often the case with cutting edge ideas, the potential is much more exciting than the currently possible. (See my take on Google Wave as another example of this phenomenon) Most of the AR I’ve seen so far I’d call more “proof of concept” than really useful.
Many of the iPhone apps available now provide a type of “walking tour” of an area. You point the camera of your iPhone or Android phone at a point of interest and the app overlays interesting information about the object or place on the screen. The two main problems with this type of AR app at this time are limited points of interest (depending on where you live), or information of questionable interest or value. (Wikitude is a good example of both.)
However, there are a few intriguing examples of what the future may hold. Professor Steven Feiner and his student, Steve Henderson, of Columbia University, have created a prototype of an AR system to help marine mechanics more quickly repair military vehicles.
This example of an Augmented Reality catalog by Metaio suggests exciting ideas for future applications in training. What if a clerk could hold an infrequently used but vital form in front of a camera on his computer and the screen would automatically display information on how to correctly complete and submit it? Or in my household, what if I could hold the remote control for the entertainment system up to the TV and it would present an interactive display on how to set the system to watch a DVD or record a show?
What interesting applications or uses for Augmented Reality in mobile learning have you found?

The temperature of lightning is far hotter than you might imagine. In fact, it can exceed the temperature of even the surface of the Sun.
The Thermal Dynamics of Lightning
A lightning bolt is a sudden electrostatic discharge during a thunderstorm. This discharge occurs between electrically charged regions of a cloud, between two clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. The rapid heating and cooling of the air near the lightning channel causes a shock wave, resulting in thunder.
The temperature within the lightning channel can soar to approximately 30,000 Kelvin. In contrast, the surface temperature of the Sun is estimated to be around 5,500 Kelvin. The stark difference in temperature underlines the concentrated energy release within the brief lifespan of a lightning strike.
Comparing the Temperature of Lightning and the Sun
The Sun, at its core, reaches temperatures of about 15 million Kelvin, due to nuclear fusion processes that power the star. However, the Sun’s surface, or photosphere, is cooler. When comparing the temperatures of a lightning bolt and the Sun’s surface, it is the localized, intense heat of the lightning that surpasses the Sun’s surface temperature.
This comparison is intriguing because it juxtaposes the vast, nuclear-powered furnace of our star with the transient atmospheric phenomenon on Earth, illustrating the range of natural thermal processes in the universe.
The extreme temperature of lightning has several implications. Firstly, it is responsible for the ionization of the air, which facilitates the electrical discharge that we see as lightning. Secondly, the high temperature is capable of splitting nitrogen molecules in the air, allowing them to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides, compounds that play a crucial role in the formation of smog and acid rain but also contribute to the natural fertilization of plant life.
Understanding Atmospheric Electricity
The study of lightning and its temperature contributes to our broader understanding of atmospheric electricity and weather phenomena. By analyzing lightning, scientists can improve predictive models of thunderstorms and better understand the electrical and thermal dynamics of our atmosphere.
Furthermore, insights gained from studying lightning are applied in developing technologies for lightning prediction and protection, minimizing its threat to life and property.
The Fascinating Nature of the Temperature of Lightning
The fact that a lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun encapsulates the fascinating nature of atmospheric phenomena. It reminds us of the powerful forces at play within our own planet’s weather systems and the dynamic conditions that govern life on Earth.
The study of lightning stands at the intersection of meteorology, physics, and environmental science, offering a window into the complex interactions that define our world.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is an academic field of study which studies the goal of creating intelligence. Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines". (Poole, Mackworth & Goebel 1998, 1).

Ding - a light less ordinary
Des Burns, a leading designer in the Australian car manufacturing industry, has developed a new bike headlight which provides not only superior lighting on the path ahead but also an innovative safety feature of illuminating the bike itself. He is about to launch his Safer Bike Light Design on Kickstarter in two weeks.
The DING bike light is designed in Adelaide and will be made in South Australia. Des says "We wanted a beam pattern that provided the optimum riding condition for both the rider and other road users. Our additional downward beam is inventive and we have applied for patents. Car lighting has improved over the last 10 years, it is now time for bicycle lighting".
I like the improved lighting on the path ahead and to the sides, which would be much more useful than a puny spot on the road ahead. You should get a better idea of what the wheel is about to hit.
The downwards light onto the front of the bike will enable drivers to see the shape of the bike and its direction of movement much more clearly, which should make riding at night safer. For those of us with e-bikes and bright battery indicators on the bars, it may also reduce the relative glare of the LEDs. They reckon "Having two beams also improves light adaption times whilst riding at night".
Get more details from the Ding webpage. And keep an eye out for the launch on Kickstarter, where you can support this project and pick up a Ding light of your own ahead of the crowd and at a special early bird price.

Take a Look

A typical solar system, whether ground or roof, contains three major parts: the solar panels, the mounting structure, and the inverters. The panels are supported by the mounting structure, which will vary based on whether the system is ground or roof mounted. The panels typically consist of lightweight panels with metal frames and a glass surface that protects the solar cells, and can range from four to six feet in length.
Similar to a lightning rod, the solar cells draw in energy from the sunlight and convert it into direct current, or DC electricity. The DC energy then flows into the inverters, which convert it into alternating current, or AC electricity.
Like water, electricity flows down the path of least resistance, and so the AC electricity will flow from the inverters into the building that the system was designed to power. Once enough electricity is in the building to power it, any excess energy is siphoned off onto the electric grid. Additionally, for every 1000 kilowatt hours produced by the system, regardless of where that energy goes, the owner will be awarded one Solar Renewable Energy Credit, or SREC.

Belden Takes Home its First-Ever Emmy® Award
The Emmys® are one of the most prestigious awards in Hollywood. The red carpet. The designer dresses. The acceptance speeches.
This year, we’re thrilled to announce that the Emmy® goes to … Belden! Who would’ve thought that a cable and connector could win such a prestigious award?!
We recently found out that we have been named a 2020 Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award winner, recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (one of three Emmy® organizations, each focusing on a specific sector of television and broadcasting). The award is for our “Standardization and Commercialization of Television – Broadcast, Hybrid Electrical and Fiber-Optic Camera Cable and Connectors.”
Each year, the Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards recognize talented and innovative leaders and companies making the world of television possible. This year, Belden is being honored for its significant impact on the broadcast industry and vital role in standardizing SMPTE cables.
As a broadcast engineer in the 1990s, and lead design engineer for our SMPTE cables, I remember when video first began its shift from analog
to digital. Belden has been at the helm of this transition from the very beginning.
At that time, Sony was working on high-definition video cameras but struggling to transmit the signals. A traditional copper camera cable couldn't transfer that amount of data over long distances (across a golf course or from the top of a mountain, for example), so they were looking for ways to use fiber instead.
In addition to distance, the cable would also need to provide power to the camera-they're rarely close to an outlet. We combined our broadcast technology knowledge with the expertise of fiber experts from Mohawk-a Belden brand-to create a new solution.
The result: the development and commercialization of the first SMPTE cables to meet North American standards. Commercially available since 1999, Belden SMPTE cables are still used today for various indoor and outdoor broadcast applications. The hybrid electrical and fiber-optic camera cable and connectors were standardized as SMPTE 304M/311M. This innovation accelerated adoption of digital video and allowed networks to confidently invest in digital camera equipment.
After these cables were developed, major broadcasters—from ESPN to NBC and CBS— started buying digital camera technology and the cables and connectors needed to support it. Rose Lockwood, Belden’s broadcast global accounts director, was instrumental in working with these networks and camera manufacturers to facilitate a successful transition from analog to digital cable.
Belden's SMPTE cable has performed through many technology changes and is an integral part of broadcast television. Now the industry is headed down a new path-ultra-high definition-and we're ready to support that transition, too.
Holding true to our reputation for constant technology innovation, we recently introduced a new solution to support this change to ultra-high definition (UHD) for 4K video.
Belden’s 4K UHD Coax Cable for 12G-SDI supports 4K or UHD content without an overhaul to IP or fiber. It maintains a 12 GHz bandwidth and maximizes 4K/UHD transmission distance over a single link, decreasing bulk associated with dual-link and quad-link configurations. Now manufacturers can integrate 12G-SDI ports into equipment to support traditional coax or upgrades to IP or fiber to support 4K/UHD broadcasting.
Having the best products in the world is one thing, but it also takes the right team: people who understand technical issues and why certain approaches are better than others. That combination is what leads to products becoming industry standard, just like our SMPTE cables. Winning this Emmy® was a team effort-and proof of Belden's ongoing commitment to innovation.

It is a known fact that the most important aspect of a circuit is its diagram. Without a circuit diagram one cannot assemble a circuit. At the same time without a circuit diagram it is very difficult to pinpoint the electrical faults and take steps to rectify the same. This is more important in today’s world because most of the wiring today is concealed behind the walls of the house. Without a diagram it becomes very difficult to establish which wire goes where. One way to identify is to use wires of different colors. That is not usually done because there is a uniform color code of wires which the electrician has to adhere to. Whenever a new installation is made, the circuit diagram is drawn and handed over to the client for safekeeping. The client should ensure that the circuit diagram is made available to the electricien velizy villacoublay when he is summoned to rectify an electrical fault.
With the aid of the circuit diagram, he would be able to understand the wiring of the house and this enables him to arrive at the location of the fault quickly. Once the fault is located, the remedial measures can follow swiftly. This is the importance of circuit diagrams that people should understand. It may be a diagram of lines, dots and dashes to the common man but for the electrician it is an encyclopaedia. He can decipher the lines and dashes perfectly as he has been adequately trained to do so. It should be ensured that the circuit diagram is kept in a safe place. One can take a copy of the diagram and paste it at a prominent place near the main panel board. It should be easily accessible during an emergency as the circuit diagram is the heart of the wiring system in a house.

Charles Hages, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, has received a National Science Foundation CAREER award. His research focuses on developing next-generation semiconductors for energy research.
With this award, Dr. Hages aims to develop solution-based, thin-film semiconductor materials that would lead to an improved method of generating clean and renewable solar energy.
“Renewable energy is an inevitable part of our future, so it’s important to put the effort in now to discover promising new materials which can make this a reality,” said Dr. Hages. “I think we have an exciting vision and talented graduate students which can make a significant contribution to this effort. Though research is only half the battle – I’m excited this award also supports our goals for cross-generational public outreach in renewable energy education.”
This prestigious award will allow Dr. Hages’ research group to develop a new class of materials, chalcogenide perovskites, as a low-cost, non-toxic, and stable photovoltaic material which can replace existing technologies due to their improved properties. Chalcogenide perovskites are an emerging class of semiconductor with the potential to replace the ubiquitous organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites as a high-performance photovoltaic absorber due to their improved stability and use of earth-abundant constituents. To meet this challenge, Hages proposes a paradigm shift in the approach used to synthesize chalcogenide perovskites by using reactive nanomaterials – a research area in which Hages’ lab specializes in.
This award will also support the development of cross-generational STEM education and outreach in renewable energy, which includes developing and delivering tailored educational modules for the underserved local aging community and K-12 students. Research is also integrated with training and education for graduate and undergraduate students in teaching, technical communication, and in emerging energy technologies.
“Dr. Hages’s research to develop materials for clean and renewable solar energy through a combination of nanoscale synthesis and state-of-the-art materials characterization is an exciting example of the relevance and impact of chemical engineering research in solving one of society’s most pressing problems,” said Dr. Carlos M. Rinaldi-Ramos, Chair of Chemical Engineering at UF.
Dr. Hages holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was also a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Structure & Dynamics of Energy Materials at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin in Germany prior to his appointment at UF.
CAREER awards are the NSF’s most prestigious award for early-career faculty and are designed to help provide a foundation for a lifetime of scientific leadership. The awards are given to an outstanding scientist who exemplifies the role of teacher-scholars through research, education and the integration of education and research.

What is an IP address?
Every machine connected to any network, whether it's a laptop, PC, printer, or a smartphone, always has a unique identifier. This identifier is the address of that machine on the network and it's called its IP address. So, just as we would address a letter to a postal address before sending it via mail, computers use IP Addresses to identify where/who to send and receive information to or from on a network.
Hence, the router which acts as a gateway between your office LAN network and the internet world, is identified via an IP address(es). Every time someone from your office LAN network connects to the internet, the machine they use for connected is identified via an IP address on your LAN.
What are IP restrictions on sumHR?
sumHR lets you define your office LAN IP address inside your sumHR account such that no other IP addresses (outside your office LAN network) are allowed to perform online attendance logging (clocking in/out).
This way, you can ensure that every employee who wishes to clock in or out, has to do it from a computer that's present in office.

spike discrimination in digitized data. J. Neurosci. Meth.
Abstract. A spike discrimination algorithm based on the analysis of spike up-
and down-slopes can advantageously replace those based only on amplitude with a
minimal increase of programming complexity and processing time. Such an
algorithm was developed to sort muscle depolarizations from nerve spikes in
electromyograms in insects. It could also be used to sort spikes according to
their direction of travel in bipolar recordings from mixed nerves.

When it comes to vaping weed, most seasoned stoners are usually on the search for the best marijuana concentrate or flower possible. But seldom will consumers give the same amount of scrutiny and consideration to the actual battery that powers their vaporizer.
It might not seem like the most integral part of the vape experience, but the selection of the battery is more important than one might expect. Some devices have built-in rechargeable batteries that can't be removed, taking this burdensome decision out of the user's hands, but others can be removed and replaced.
For e-juice vape mods, 18650 batteries are among the most popular of the pack — and for no shortage of good reasons. Newer options used by manufacturers include 20700 and 21700 batteries, but many still default to 18650 batteries due to the compact size and extensively tested performance. A number of cannabis vape devices, such as the Arizer Air, X MAX Starry, Davinci IQ, and others, also operate using a swappable 18650 battery.
“We settled on the 18650 because it has the best shape for the most amount of power, and it's easily findable because so many people are using it for box mods,” said Shauntel Ludwig, Vice President of Operations at DaVinci, a Las Vegas-based cannabis vaporizer manufacturer. “We wanted to have something that was really convenient for our users, that's the main reason we made it swappable and didn't build a proprietary battery.”
It's important to distinguish, however, that vape mods and cannabis vaporizers usually have different needs when it comes to 18650 batteries. The best option for a cloud chaser who vapes e-juice isn't the same as for the cannabis consumer looking to control the temperature and curate the cannabis by-products that are activated during the vape sesh. But before you can understand the specific battery traits you should be looking for, you should have a basic understanding of what 18650 batteries actually have to offer.
What is a 18650 Battery? How is it Used for Vaping?
An 18650 battery is a lithium-ion battery cell that has made its way into a diverse set of devices, such as laptop batteries and flashlights, and even the Tesla Roadster, which contains thousands of these lithium-ion batteries. Most 18650 batteries have a capacity somewhere in the range of 1800 milliampere hours (mAh) to 3500 mAh, as well as an output of 3.7 volts. Considered to be the industry standard for vaporizers, 18650 batteries are compatible with a vast range of devices.
The 18650 battery has a diameter of around 18 millimeters and a length of 650 millimeters, hence its five-digit name. What makes 18650 batteries so coveted by the vape industry is the compact size, above-average output, and long-lasting lifespan, which reduces the risk of being stuck with a dead vaporizer or need to carry extra components. Some devices are equipped with integrated batteries, while others have removable batteries, giving the user full control over the battery selection process.
Characteristics that are usually taken into account when searching for 18650 battery for vaping include:
- Continuous discharge rating (CDR): The maximum current that a battery can be continuously and safely discharged without damaging the battery.
- Voltage: How hard a vaporizer hits is dependent on the voltage the battery is able to maintain midway through the cycle. There are batteries that maintain 3.7 volts to 3.6 volts, which will provide a more powerful draw than others that dip to around 3.2 volts.
- Capacity: The capacity of the battery, which is measured in milliampere-hours, refers to how many milliamps you can draw from the battery in a specific amount of time, giving you a rough estimate of how long the battery will last.
Ideally, the best 18650 battery for e-juice vape mods will offer a balance between a high capacity and high current rating. High-drain batteries are 18650 batteries with a high continuous discharge rating (CDR), which means it's capable of discharging large amounts of current at once without damaging the battery. For weed vaporizers, however, there are certain factors to take into account when shopping for 18650 batteries.
“For box mods, they usually go for a high discharge battery with higher amperage on them, because they want max power to the coil instantly,” said Hector Marron, a technician for DaVinci. “The only difference that I see is that they want a higher discharge rate faster, usually in the 25 to 30 amperage range. We use a 10 amperage battery because the current is controlled by unit.”
Which are the Best 18650 Batteries for Weed Vaporizers?
Most vape mod users tend to prefer batteries with a high CDR, as this will affect how fast the coil heats up. Cannabis vaporizers, on the other hand, are more compatible with a battery that heats up a bit slower, as this gives the user more precise control over the temperature. Different parts of the cannabis plant are activated at specific temperatures, so having an 18650 battery that offers more temperature control is more important than finding one that quickly heats the coil up.
“As far as the battery is concerned, we use a 10 amp battery, which doesn't have as quick as a discharge, however it's more controllable,” Ludwig said. “With our vaporizers specifically, we really focus on moderating that temperature to give the user a really tailored and custom experience.”
Ludwig recommends that DaVinci users utilize the 18650 battery that comes with the device, as it has been specifically selected to optimize the vaporizer's performance. The vape manufacturer tested 30 to 40 batteries until finding that the Sanyo NCR18650GA provided the best user experience.
“They can put their own battery in there, but we always recommend they use the batteries we provide,” she explained. “Just because a battery manufacturer will put 10 amp, 2500 mAh on the outside of that battery doesn't make it true.”
If you do decide to venture outside of the manufacturer's recommendation, don't blindly settle for the cheapest option. There is a real possibility of coming across a counterfeit 18650 battery, as rewrapped knockoffs can be hard to identify. It's important to research and find reputable resellers that have legitimate 18650 batteries to create the safest and most effective vape experience. Counterfeits may make false claims about the specifications of the battery and not follow regulations, and could even potentially explode.
Needless to say, to find the safest and most effective 18650 battery for your cannabis vaporizer, check to see what the device manufacturer recommends. Most cannabis vaporizers come equipped with a battery that is carefully selected by the manufacturer to offer the optimal user experience.
For those who want to experiment with other 18650 batteries, look for reputable sellers, such as the 18650 Battery Store, to guarantee that you receive authentic batteries. To figure out whether a battery is counterfeit or not, cross-reference the battery with the manufacturer's specifications, checking various aspects like the weight of the battery and production date listed on the wrapper to match what the manufacturer lists.

LiPo batteries are the best in terms of performance, but they need to be treated with respect. If they are not charged, stored, and used correctly, they will not only quickly become unusable, but they can become explosively flammable.
Before Charging LiPo Batteries
- read the lipo battery manual and charging instructions
- Always check the voltage of batteries before each charge session in order to ensure they are at or above the minimum safe starting voltage. If their starting voltage is below recommended levels then your batteries have been over-discharged or have experienced a failure and should NOT be charged.
- Always check the battery before charging for any type of damage. Check the battery packaging, wires and connectors for defects, which may cause a short circuit and eventual battery failure.
Charging LiPo batteries
- Only use a charger designed for a lithium polymer or lithium-ion battery. Many chargers have multiple modes for different types of batteries. Check out our chargers here.
- You should charge lipos away from any flammable martials.
- Never charge batteries inside of your model
- Never charge batteries below freezing (0°C, 32°F)
- Never charge Batteries that are hot to the touch (above 100° F).
- The charger should never be set to charge batteries at a rate greater than 1C (one times the capacity of the battery in amp hours)
- Never overcharge batteries over their rated maximal voltage (4.2V/cell for a LiPo).
- Using a LiPo pouch to charge will prevent fire expanding if there is a fire
- Charge away from your living area. i.e. do it in an out building
- NEVER charge in the house over night near flammable objects.
How to discharging LiPo batteries
- Never discharge batteries at amperage rates higher than specified on the label
- Never allow the temperature of batteries to exceed 140° F during discharge.
- Never discharge battery to a level below 3V per cell under load. For most drone batteries, the recommended cut off voltage is 3.5V per cell.
- Batteries can still accidentally leak for about an hour after discharge, and that reaction with air may cause the chemicals to ignite. Keep batteries in a safe area away from any combustible materials and observe them for an hour after discharge.
How to store LiPo batteries
- Never store loose batteries together. The batteries’ terminals may contact one another, causing a short circuit.
- Never store batteries in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. The battery should be stored within -10℃~45℃ range environmental condition. If the battery has to be stored for a long time (more than 3 months), the environmental condition should be:
- Temperature: 23±5℃ Humidity: 65±20%RH
- The voltage should be 3.6V~3.9V range per cell.
- Always disconnect Batteries when not in use and store batteries in a non-conductive and fireproof container.
- Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or related components.
Spotting a broken liPo battery
- The RC servo for steering will work, but the speed controller will not function. This is because the ESC will
- LiPo batteries that are beyond repair will typically show no voltage from one cell or more. The Spotting a broken liPo battery chargers we sell are able to act as a battery meter and will allow you to check each cell.
- Broken batteries will typically be “puffed up” in that they are larger than they were originally
- Any battery with these symptoms should be separated from other batteries and disposed of as soon as possible.
General LiPo battery Safety
- Keep your batteries away from your living area when unsupervised or charging
- Never strike a battery with any sharp edges
- Never open or deform the folding edge of a cell
- Never drop, hit or bend batteries
- Never disassemble the cells. The disassembling may generate an internal short circuit in the cell, which may cause gassing, firing, or other problems
- Never incinerate nor dispose of batteries in fire. These may cause firing of the cells, which is very dangerous. Additionally, never be soak batteries with liquids such as water, and especially not soft drinks, juices or coffee (never thought I would have to add that one as a tip!).

Research & Development
Capula is able to provide support for innovative research projects. One such project is the ITER Project, which is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today. Capula is combining its control system expertise with its knowledge of the traditional nuclear industry to address the needs of the mission.
In southern France, 35 nations are collaborating to build the world’s largest magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy.
Capula is working as a member of the AMCE Foster Wheeler led ERHA alliance to develop and deliver the Neutral Beam Cell Remote Handling System.
This Remote Handling system in the Neutral Beam Cell is crucial to the success of ITER. Neutral Beam injectors are used to heat up the plasma inside the reactor until it is hot enough for fusion to take place. For this package of work Capula will design and supply the control system.
The system will allow the repair and maintenance of these complex internal systems during outages.

So let’s say you’re a voiceover artist like yours truly and you decide that rather than just buy a computer to use as your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), you’d rather build one yourself so that you have greater control over the components that go into it and, hopefully, will end up with a purpose-built system that does the job well and costs less than one you’d buy from a manufacturer who specializes in pre-fab DAW machines.
If you have some experience inside the case of a computer, this is entirely do-able. As to whether or not it’s the best solution is totally up to you and your situation. It could in fact save you money, or it could end up costing you more. It will almost certainly take much more time and effort than buying one pre-fab, but sometimes just the process itself is worth a little effort if you have fun with this sort of thing or want to learn about building PCs. Plus, then you end up with something that is, hopefully, exactly what you want without being less or more.
First let’s just go through a run-down of the components you’ll need:
Sound Card or Audio Interface
Monitor / Display
Keyboard / Mouse
Whew…that’s a fair amount of stuff, huh?
Now, before you even start to think about that there list, you need to ask yourself what OS you’re going to run. Vista is spiffy and looks great and has some really cool features. I’ve also found it to be quite stable. However, many audio hardware manufacturers have been extremely slow to release stable, efficient Vista drivers for their hardware. Please note this is no fault of Vista but of the manufacturers themselves. So if you already have a favorite bit of hardware that doesn’t run under Vista yet, contact the manufacturer and ask them what’s taking them so darn long!
Note that on 2/12/08, Microsoft released a number of Windows updates for Vista and to be honest, it’s the first time I’ve encountered ANY stability issues with the OS. I’m not sure what part of those updates, specifically, has caused this flakiness, and it seems to have mostly corrected itself (perhaps with another couple of updates on 2/13), but I’m hopeful that the remaining issues are resolved asap since, again, up til now, I’ve had extremely stable performance from Vista on every machine I’ve run it on.
Ok, since everybody’s going to have different preferences and needs from their system, I’m not saying that my choices for components are the “right” way to do it, but one example. In fact there are a couple of things I would (and might) change, but I’ll talk about those in a few minutes. My main goal here is to shed some light on the process and things you need to consider when building your own DAW.
Before I get into how I made my selections, let’s just spend a few minutes going over what each of the above components is and how it relates to the others.
- Case – This is the shell that the majority of the computer’s bits fit inside of. Sometimes people call this the “tower”. I’ve heard many people mistakenly call this the “hard drive” but a hard drive is a component that goes inside the case.
- Motherboard – The primary electronic component of the computer, the motherboard or mainboard as it’s sometimes called, is a large circuitboard that everything gets connected to either directly or indirectly.
- Power Supply – Fits inside the case and supplies power to the system.
- Processor – The processor, or CPU, is the primary computing component of the whole system. Some people like to call this the “computer’s brain”. Those people usually have trouble answering their cell phones (just kidding!)
- Memory – Memory, or RAM, is where programs and files are loaded while they’re being used. The more memory your system has (up to a point) the faster it’ll run, because the computer can load more programs and files into memory, which is accessed very quickly. RAM only operates while the computer is turned on.
- Hard Drives – These, also known as disk drives, are the “permanent” storage for your computer, meaning data stored on the hard drive isn’t lost when the computer is turned off, as it is with RAM.
- Sound Card or Audio Interface – This is what takes your voice, by way of a microphone and any other components you add to your audio chain, such as a pre-amplifier or mixer, and turns it from an analog audio signal to a digital one that can be stored as data on your computer.
- Monitor / Display – This is the part that looks kind of like a TV and it’s what you’re looking at right now. And now. And again now.
- Speakers, Keyboard / Mouse, Printer – If I have to explain these, I’m afraid this article isn’t going to do you much good. Sorry :)
Case, Motherboard, Processor & Power Supply
Why are these four things all lumped together? Well, in many ways, the choice of one directly affects the choice of the others, or at least limits the choices you’ll make. In the case of building a DAW, and in fact in building any computer, what you’re going for are tailoring the equipment to your specific needs. In my case, I’d determined that I wanted a machine with very good performance and longevity, but without paying a premium for everything when all was said and done.
With that in mind, I started by thinking about what kind of processor, or CPU, I’d want to use. I knew that I wanted an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and the one I chose was fast without being the fastest thing on the market at the time, which will save you a lot of money in most cases. Generally one or two steps down from the absolute state of the art in processors is where you’ll find the best value – the best performance for the money. Sometimes, the 2nd fastest processor available at a given time is half the cost of the fastest one, but only 5% to 10% slower, so it’s a pretty good deal.
Now that I had decided on a processor, it was time to pick a motherboard for the system. Different motherboards only accept certain CPUs, so again, some forethought has to go into what you’re planning for the whole system so that the various components match up.
So once I’d selected my processor, I did some research and found a motherboard that seemed to suit all of my needs. Obviously, the motherboard had to support the processor that I’d chosen, so that was step one. I also wanted one that had eSATA controllers for the hard drives. An eSATA connection is a very fast hard drive controller technology. Fast drives are important in a DAW because you want to make sure that your hard drives, where your audio will be recorded to and saved, are fast enough to keep up with the bit-rate (how fast the data is processed) of your audio and the software that you use to record it. Just FYI the motherboard I chose is the Asus P5B Deluxe.
Not only did this motherboard have eSATA controllers, but it also included a SATA RAID controller. RAID, which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, is a way of using multiple hard drives together either to improve the performance of them, add redundancy to safeguard your data, or both. RAID use is a bit technical…there are various “levels” of RAID, meaning various ways to use the technology depending on your needs. I chose RAID-5, which means that with at least three disks in the array working together, your data is safe even if one disk fails. Pretty cool stuff…there’s a bit of a performance hit with RAID-5, especially when compared to RAID-0, which is very fast, but RAID-0 is vulnerable because if a disk goes bad, your data is lost.
RAID-5 can survive a disk failure without losing data. If this happens, you simply replace the drive that failed with new one (of the same type) and the data is “rebuilt” onto the new drive. This process is generally done by the RAID controller itself and invisible to the user, which is pretty handy.
I figured that with the speed of the eSATA controller and the speed of drives available these days, the slight performance hit by using RAID-5 would be overcome enough to not have any issues with recording audio at sustained bitrates (and true enough, this has never been an issue…the system performs great).
The motherboard I chose also has an IEEE 1394, or FireWire, controller built in, and it’s controlled by a Texas Instruments chipset. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t need to know (or care) who makes the FireWire controller, but in researching DAWs online as well as audio interfaces (we’ll get to those later), I noticed that a number of manufacturers claimed that their hardware only worked with Texas Instruments FireWire chipsets. I have no idea if this is true, and at the time I didn’t even know what type of audio interface I would be using, but I figured since this motherboard used the TI chipset anyway, it was a good bet because it would offer another level of flexibility in terms of choosing the audio interface when I got to that point.
So now that I’d decided on a processor and motherboard, it was time to pick a case. Cases are generally standardized in certain respects, such as layout of the attachment points for the motherboard, the I/O panel cutout (the area where the various ports will be available on the back of the machine), where the power supply goes, etc. Of course their are always exceptions, but for today’s PCs, generally what you’ll be looking at are some variant of what’s called an ATX case. This isn’t a brand, but a sort of “standard” for cases. There are also a number of BTX cases available as well. ATX and BTX cases are not compatible with each other, as they have their I/O panels and expansion slots in different places. This comes into play when selecting a motherboard (motherboards are also identified by their layout standard), so you’ll need to pair an ATX motherboard with an ATX case, etc.
Call me silly, but one of the things I was looking for in a case was something that was a little bit different looking and that had a certain “cool factor” to it. For this reason, I chose the red Vento case by Asus. It didn’t look like much else on the market, the color was vibrant and it definitely looked high tech and cool. I also read a little about it and found that people thought it had very good airflow characteristics, which is good, because I was going to try to use a minimal number of fans within my DAW, so a case with better airflow is going to make better use of the fans that are there.
Ok, so the last component in this group is the power supply. There are a couple of hard and fast requirements here. First, the power supply has to have the right connectors for your motherboard and second, it has to supply enough power for the other components that you’ll build into your DAW. The one component in a system that will often require a beefy power supply is the video card, since many current video cards, especially those designed for gaming and advanced 3D graphics, use a LOT of power. Fortunately, for my needs, cutting edge graphics aren’t a requirement, so I figured that based on what components I’d be using, a 500W power supply should do the trick. I did some research and found that the Thermaltake W0093RU power supply had gotten good reviews both for reliablity and noise, meaning that it wasn’t too loud.
This should serve as a mildly annoying reminder that you simply can’t trust the opinions of people you don’t know. While I’m sure the power supply is much quieter than many, it certainly isn’t “quiet” empirically. In fact, I’ll probably swap out this power supply at some point because it simply is too loud.
Now, with regard to the power supply, you need to make sure that the power supply you choose has the proper connectors for your motherboard and video card, especially if you’re building a system with a high-end card, because they often require their own power connector. As an example, your motherboard may require a 20+4 pin connector, a 12v 4-pin connector or both. This one has both as well as plenty of peripheral connectors. But again, it’s not as quiet as I would have liked. Moving on then.
When you look at motherboards, you’ll see that they’re rated for memory up to a certain speed, and this can be determined by the rating of the Front Side Bus or FSB. So if your motherboard has an 800MHz FSB, then you can use memory rated up to that speed. Many motherboards support different speeds of memory so that if you want to use slower / cheaper memory for now, then upgrade later, you have the ability to do that. However, I would recommend buying the fastest memory you can afford to buy for the FSB of your motherboard, and to get at least 2GB of memory.
Since memory is where your applications and data are loaded into while you’re using them, fast memory means faster performance in your computer. And having 2GB of memory means that your software will run fast even when you have multiple programs open. This is good, because it means your system won’t “page” software to disk…if it did this, there’s a good chance your audio would be glitchy since the computer would be trying to stream audio to disk at the same time it’s trying to swap program data to and from disk.
While disk access is very fast, it’s not nearly as fast as RAM access, so again, my recommendation is to have at least 2GB of the fastest memory your system supports.
Note that under Windows XP, only 2GB of memory is supported. Under Vista (the 32-bit version), you can have up to 4GB of memory in the system, not all of which will be usable by the system. This is due to some technical limitations with 32-bit computing and system architecture that I won’t go into, but for most people, 32-bit is still a good idea, especially if you’re more interested in software compatibility than you are the “ultimate” processing performance. Again, given that the audio manufacturers and developers aren’t known for having bleeding-edge, stable hardware and software, I would recommend, at least for the time being, sticking with a 32-bit OS (Win XP, Vista 32-bit) for now.
Ok, again, this is an area that people always disagree on. And there’s no right or wrong here, so just give this a little thought and make the best decision for you.
As I mentioned when talking about my motherboard above, I wanted to implement RAID-5 so that I’d have data redundancy. But it’s also a good idea to have your data on a different drive than your operating system and software. Fortunately, I was able to do this with my system, because the motherboard has the SATA RAID controller AND a secondary SATA controller. So I used the secondary SATA controller for the system’s primary (boot) disk, and set up the SATA RAID to use 3 hard drives for the RAID array, where all my data would be stored.
So far, this has worked out extremely well and as I mentioned, I haven’t had any performance issues at all. Part of this, though, is selecting fast hard drives. SATA and eSATA are already fast technologies, with very good data throughput. And you’ll see, for instance, that if you look at a SATA 3.0 drives, that they all are rated at 7200RPM, so there’s not a ton of variation in performance between drives. You’ll see things like seek times and write times expressed in milliseconds, and you’ll notice that they’re all very close.
I chose some Seagate drives, because I’ve had very good luck with Seagate products in the past and these drives, which use “perpendicular recording” are supposed to have some of the best performance times and quietest operation among SATA 3.0 drives.
Now, with RAID-5, again, you need at least three drives, and the capacity of your RAID array is the total of all your drives minus one. In my case, I got three 250GB drives, so my RAID array is 500GB (250 * 3 = 750, minus one drive at 250 = 500 total). RAID-5 supports more than three drives…just use the same formula to calculate your total…and of course you can also get higher capacity drives which, at the time, were too expensive for the budget I’d set for myself. Also, the SATA RAID controller only would allow for 3 drives (there are dedicated RAID controllers that allow for more) so this is where I ended up.
Actually I got four drives, because as I mentioned, there are three in the RAID array and one used for the system’s boot and program disk.
Sound Card or Audio Interface
Let’s not forget we’re not just building an “ordinary” PC here, we’re building a Digital Audio Workstation. So the Sound Card or Audio Interface is one of the most directly important parts of the system. There are many, many options to choose from and, again, what you choose is going to be dictated by a lot of factors.
First let’s discuss the difference between a Sound Card and an Audio Interface. Both serve the same purpose…to bring in an analog audio signal and convert it to a digital signal that can be manipulated on the computer and stored as digital audio. A sound card goes inside your computer and gets plugged into one of the slots on the motherboard. If you’ve ever owned a desktop PC with a variation of a Sound Blaster, then you’re already familiar with sound cards, as that’s what the Sound Blaster is. In a higher-end or pro-audio sound card, there’s usually an additional component in the form of either a bundle of cables coming out of the back of the card (such as XLR connectors to plug in pro microphones) or what’s called a breakout box, which is another device connected to the back of the soundcard. Usually the breakout box includes the various I/O (input / output) connectors.
An audio interface, on the other hand, is an external device that usually attaches to the computer through either a USB or FireWire port. Instead of the computer’s sound card doing the analog-to-digital (and reverse) work, this is done inside the audio interface and then sent to the computer through the USB or FireWire connection.
In each case, the hardware you choose will have drivers that allow your chosen audio software to use your hardware to send sound to the computer and, subsequently, your software.
When I built my DAW, because of some of the things I’d read about various audio interfaces, such as trouble with certain USB or FireWire connections causing dropouts in the audio, or flaky drivers, I decided instead to go with a pro sound card and chose the E-MU 1616m PCI. E-MU, by the way, is the pro audio division of Creative Labs, the company that makes the Sound Blaster products. This was one of the reasons I chose this product. For one thing, Creative Labs has a long-standing reputation for pretty good and stable drivers. I assumed this would carry over into the E-MU line of products. For another thing, they’ve also had a pretty good track record for developing drivers for new operating systems quicker than most audio hardware manufacturers.
This was another bonus, because I figured that although I was going to use Windows XP for now (more on that later), that if / when I decided to upgrade to Vista, E-MU would likely have stable Vista drivers ready long before many other manufacturers.
Either way you go, there are a few things you want to make sure of. First, your chosen hardware should supply 48V Phantom Power to your mic input(s), as almost all non-tube microphones require this. Many tube mics have their own pre-amp / power supply, but non-powered microphones generally require Phantom Power making this a necessity (and in fact it’s available on just about all pro-grade sound cards and audio interfaces, but just make sure!).
XLR connectors for your mic(s) are another requirement. Unlike the “normal” PC sound card, which takes an 1/8th inch headphone-style jack as its input source, pro audio equipment generally uses 3-pin XLR connectors, so in order to keep your audio chain (the series of devices you have connected together) as “clean” as possible, you want to not use any more cables or adapters than are necessary. The best way to do this is to choose hardware that accepts the type of connectors you’ll likely be using.
There are plenty of features that sound cards and audio interfaces have and will try to sell you on. Other than what I mentioned above, make sure that if you plan to (or think you might) record with more than one mic at some point, or with instruments, etc., that the hardware you choose has multiple inputs. Also, good DACs (digital-to-analog convertors) are important since they’re what does the conversion of the audio to a digital form. Your hardware’s sampling rate should be at least 44kHz (the sampling frequency used on CDs, for example) for good audio fidelity.
One final note here. Many motherboards include audio hardware. If yours does, you may need to disable it so that it doesn’t interfere with your sound card or audio interface that you’ve decided on. At the very least, having more than one sound card or audio hardware option on a PC can be confusing and can lead to a lot of frustration if you’re recording into one and wondering why the speakers hooked up to the other aren’t playing any sound! Much of this comes down to the configuration of your hardware and software settings as relates to audio hardware, so just keep this in mind if you find yourself frustrated with such things.
Monitor / Display
These days, it’s almost impossible to find a CRT monitor for a computer. CRTs are the “old style” tube-based monitors that essentially look like a traditional analog TV set. They’re deep and heavy, thanks to the cathode ray tube (CRT) assembly and front glass required to create the on-screen image. But just like with newer hi-def and digital TVs, computer monitors these days are primarily flat-panels and, more recently, widescreen. Not only are flat-panel displays lighter and take up less room, they can be easily wall mounted and have exceptional image quality. Plus, their ubiquity in recent years has made them quite affordable for their size, as well.
Having a widescreen display is great, because obviously you can see more at once. This is especially useful when using an audio program where you’re going to be looking at your audio tracks…widescreen displays allow you to see more of your tracks at once, or to see the same amount (as you would on a traditional 4:3, or “TV-shape” monitor) at a bigger size, making it easier to see and work with.
Just like with most other electronics, many people have their favorite brands. Personally, I really like Samsung flat-panel displays and usually purchase them when I’m building or upgrading a system.
Now, in addition to the display itself, there’s also the video card or display adapter. I mentioned this briefly when I said that I’d chosen one without a fan, to make for a quieter system. Note that many motherboards include video hardware on the motherboard itself, but that the included circuitry may not offer you all the features you want. For instance, widescreen displays run at different resolutions (the number of dots horizontally by the number of dots vertically) than traditional 4:3 displays, since they’re a different shape. Integrated video hardware on a particular motherboard may not offer widescreen resolutions, or ones that are as high-resolution as the monitor you choose, so it’s important to make sure that your display adapter runs at your monitor’s “native” (default) resolution at a minimum.
There’s also a good reason to consider a video card as opposed to relying on video hardware that’s integrated into the motherboard, and that’s that many video cards offer dual outputs. Why would you want this? Well, you may want to use two monitors side-by-side to get an extended desktop and see more at once. Or, as in my situation, you may want to have one monitor on your desk and one inside your booth or recording space, so that you can control the computer from either location.
Some motherboards do have dual display outputs but they’re less common than are dual displays on video cards, so again, just make sure your hardware will be able to do what you want it to do.
For my system, I chose the Asus EAX 1600 Pro Silent video card with dual outputs and fan-less operation. For my monitors, I have a 20″ Samsung widescreen display on my desk and a 17″ Samsung widescreen display for in the booth. Note, though, that I haven’t yet mounted the 17″ display inside the booth and may in fact swap it out for another 20″ display since the 20″ and 17″ displays have different native resolutions…this was a mistake on my part. Oops!
Like microphones, people have very passionate opinions on speakers and speaker technology. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, because as I was putting together my DAW, and knowing that I would likely be the only person ever to listen to them, I opted for about the least expensive “studio monitors” I could find that would connect to my E-MU’s breakout box. At the time, these turned out to be the M-Audio StudioPro DX4 powered monitors. Actually there were cheaper speakers available, but they were, inconveniently for me, out of stock at the time and I needed something, so these had to do. They sound great as far as I’m concerned. I likely could have found cheaper “computer speakers” and just used an adaptor to connect them to the E-MU, but even “computer speakers” that sound decent are getting kind of expensive these days, so I figured that I’d spend a couple extra $$ and get something designed for this particular application (and with the right connectors already).
Keyboard / Mouse
Now, you can go to Target and get a cheapo keyboard for about $10 and a mouse for probably $5, but I prefer to spend a bit more on my kb / mouse because I’m kind of particular about both typing and mousing. When I built this sytem, I just set it up with an old IBM keyboard I had lying around along with a nice, ergonomic Logitech mouse that I like.
This past week, however, I purchased a Bluetooth wireless keyboard / mouse combo by Rocketfish from Best Buy. The reason for this is that I’m finally getting around to getting my phone patch (not ordered yet, though) and I want to be able to control my DAW not only from the desk outside the booth but from inside as well. So I have a flat-panel mount and a keyboard / mouse arm that I have to put into the inside of the booth, but the Bluetooth kb/mouse will allow me to simply carry the mouse & keyboard to the inside of the booth when I’m recording and then just bring them out again when I’m going to be working at the desk.
It’s a pretty convenient solution and Rocketfish claims a 60′ range which is way more than I need, but means that at about 6′ away, the signal should be plenty strong. I’ve yet to hook it up, so I’m hoping that the Bluetooth doesn’t cause any residual interference with my audio chain.
I won’t spend too much time on this either, but just don’t forget that you’ll likely want to have a printer so that you can print out scripts, script revisions, script notes, etc. And a place to put it. Most printers are either USB or ethernet (network) connected these days so, again, just make sure what you buy fits in with your whole setup.
Putting It All Together
Hmm, I thought about a step by step here, but I think that’s beyond the scope of this post as well as being too specific to the particulars of anybody’s setup. So instead, I’ll just quickly go over the general order of getting things put together.
I started by putting the motherboard into the case and connecting all of its various fan and system wires such as the wire for the power button, the wires that go to the front panel USB and FireWire ports, etc. Depending on your case layout, you may want to put the power supply in first, but if not, you’ll likely put it in after you get the motherboard in.
After the motherboard and power supply, next I would put in the processor and its heatsink / fan and get those connected. Then I’d put in the RAM. After that, any expansion cards (such as my E-MU 1616 and Asus video card).
Next I’d attach all the hard drives. Note that in my particular case, I had to do a fair amount of finagling with the hard drives, because I connected the drives for the RAID array first, but doing this, there was no way to then later connect the fourth drive (to the secondary SATA controller) and have that be the system’s boot disk. So I then had to disconnect the RAID drives, connect the boot disk, re-install Windows XP (ugh) and supply the Asus motherboard driver for the secondary SATA controller during Windows installation. Once this was done and Windows was installed on the boot drive, I reconnected the RAID drives and they became my D:\ drive. To be perfectly honest, this whole thing was the most difficult and annoying part of building my DAW, especially since the Asus tech support guy I talked to said it wasn’t possible to do what I was trying to do (have a drive on the secondary SATA controller be the system disk). But in fact, it was possible and has worked flawlessly.
After that, the system is pretty much built…you just need to close up the case, attach your monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers and you should be good to go.
Finally, once your OS is installed and you’ve gotten your various hardware drivers installed, you can install your other software, such as audio recording software, e-mail and word processing programs if you use them, etc.
I personally wouldn’t recommend isntalling anti-virus software on a DAW, only because all anti-virus software slows down system performance while it’s running. This could cause audio dropouts and other problems (such as issues with file permissions) that can lead to major headaches.
Instead, I would recommend keeping your system free of anti-virus software and connecting it to your internet connection through a broadband firewall / router such as any number of those manufactured by Linksys, for example. The reason for this is the firewall / router will NAT your computer, meaning it’ll connect to your ISP and pass that connection to your computer through a technology called NAT (Network Address Translation). When your computer’s connected through NAT, Windows File and Printer Sharing cannot work on the other side of the firewall / router…they can only work on computers on the inside of your network. This, combined with common sense when surfing the web and opening e-mail, should keep you pretty safe.
I hate to suggest it, but if you feel like you don’t HAVE any common sense when it comes to surfing the web or opening e-mail, then just don’t do any of those things as aren’t specifically related to your audio work. Only go to sites that you already know are safe and don’t open any attachments you weren’t expecting to receive, unless you’re sure they’re audio files or image files, etc.
Wow, this was a long post. But hopefully somebody will find it useful. Again, the idea here wasn’t to say what’s right / wrong as much as to describe a bit of the thought process that went into building my system so that in the event you’re thinking about building one, too, you can perhaps learn from some of the successes and failures of my own experience.
This is by no means the only way to go. As I mentioned briefly, there are companies who specialize in building and selling DAWs, and I have a friend who just “went out and bought a laptop” with Windows Vista, hooked up an Audio Interface and microphone and installed some audio software and she’s happy as a clam. But I like building PCs and this was a fun project. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it’s the right choice for you, taking into considering how you like to work, your particular hardware or software preferences, your space and your budget.

Welcome to Eco Wireless CCTV
Welcome to Eco Wireless CCTV. At Eco Wireless CCTV we produce simple and highly effective systems that provide high quality video in HD (SD available as well). With the use of our optional solar panels or small wind turbines for power they are environmentally friendly, allowing installations in non-traditional areas that do not have electrical infrastructure. This allows us to cover a large area, and provide rapid and simple installation, thus eliminating the need for great lengths of expensive video cables. We eliminate the high cost of running those cables through conduits, or trenching to bury the cables in ground in outdoor applications, which is particularly useful in existing urban areas that would require cabling through walls and floors, or tearing up existing pavement to bury video cables.
Our systems use proprietary long range RF equipment, and therefore have much longer range than standard Wi-Fi, at much lower data rates. They are available on custom frequencies, and with the ability to create a MESH network for multiple cameras operating in range of each other they can act as repeaters for each other, extending the system range further.
Our proprietary NVRs provide massive storage capacity, with the option for redundant hot swappable hard drives, and cloud back up. They provide huge storage, premium functions, and a low cost, providing outstanding value relative to our competition. Download our brochure

10 May Nordic Tankers and partners test new emissions monitoring technology
Nordic Tankers, Dania Ship Management, and Danfoss IXA have tested a new sensor technology designed to monitor emissions.
As part of the test, the technology has been installed on the Nordic Mari chemical tanker, which is owned by Nordic Tankers and managed by Dania Ship Management.
Results from the test showed that the technology has helped the vessel to consume less fuel and allowed Dania Ship Management to monitor the engines’ performance.
Developed by Danfoss IXA, the sensor is capable of measuring the emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and ammonia (NH3).
The technology is also designed to provide data to both ship owners and authorities using a cloud-based solution.

I’ve been interested in operating systems development for a while, and last year worked on a small hobby kernel in C++, using the excellent resources from http://wiki.osdev.org. Recently, I decided to start on a new hobby kernel using the Rust programming language.
Recently, I’ve been working on an Aurelia-based webapp for work. I have a basic layout with a bootstrap navbar and different pages linked in the navbar using an Aurelia router. One of the things I wanted to do was have route-specific actions exposed as buttons in the navbar.

The enormous role played by science — especially government-sponsored science — in our everyday lives is barely appreciated.
Start with modern medicine. We, the public, paid for it through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and research universities where the medical researchers, surgeons, doctors and nurses were trained, and where tools like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) developed. Modern drugs were also developed through basic research sponsored by NIH. Modern medicine is the dividend of our investment over decades in medical science.
Next, computers. Computer science didn’t just appear. It was developed through grants from National Science Foundation (NSF) and Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARP). The Internet was developed by the Defense Department. It was originally called the Arpanet. Satellites were developed through NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Defense Department, with vast amount of new science: rocket fuels, physics, new materials for rocket shells, advances…

Weather radar is an aviation and meteorological instrument used to detect and measure precipitation and atmospheric motion over a wide area. The operational process of weather radar involves the following steps:
1. Transmission of Radio Waves: The radar sends out radio waves into the desired area for observation. The transmitted signals typically have high frequencies to enable the detection of small particles.
2. Pulsed Signals: The radar emits pulses of signals with varying lengths, allowing the measurement of distances. The time taken for the transmitted signal to travel to a target and back is used to calculate the distance.
3. Reception of Return Signals: When the transmitted radio waves encounter objects or atmospheric conditions that cause reflection, the radar receives these signals back.
4. Intensity Measurement: The radar measures the intensity of the received signals, providing information about the amount of precipitation or the characteristics of the passing weather.
5. Data Analysis:The received data is analyzed to create a representation of the location and quantity of the observed precipitation.
6. Display of Results: The analyzed results are displayed in the form of radar images, indicating the intensity of rainfall and the movement of the weather.
Weather radar plays a crucial role in weather forecasting, water resource management, and aviation safety. The information obtained from radar systems aids in making decisions related to flight operations, flood forecasting, and continuous tracking of storms. The data from weather radar systems contribute to real-time assessments of weather conditions and enhance our ability to respond to changing atmospheric phenomena.

Technology has transformed our lifestyles. The majority of homes today, quite unlike in the past, have mobile phones, tablets, PCs, TVs and air conditioning. These gadgets have raised our quality of life, but they have also pushed up electricity consumption in homes.
To support the higher electricity consumption, newer HDB blocks are provided with 40 amps main switches. In comparison, HDB blocks built before 1990 were provided with 30 amps main switches. This was based on the prevailing standard specification.
Since 1995, HDB has been carrying out electrical upgrading works to bring these old blocks on par with the newer ones. They provide a higher electrical loading and thus, minimise electrical power trips.
Nearly 2,400 blocks have been upgraded so far, at a cost of nearly $1 billion, fully borne by HDB.
Electrical upgrading is costly as the works are extensive and involve building new infrastructure such as electrical substations and laying higher capacity underground cables. To minimise inconvenience to residents, the works are carried out in tandem with other upgrading programmes and implemented progressively across Singapore.
Our work is not yet finished, as another 4,000 blocks have yet to be upgraded. But they will be in due course.
To find out if your block has been upgraded to a higher electrical loading, you may check the HDB InfoWEB.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were millions of lovely cameras and handheld light meters manufactured—many of which remain perfectly usable today. Except for one little problem. Their light-measuring circuits were designed to be powered using a mercury battery.
What made mercury button cells so appealing was that their voltage stayed absolutely ruler-flat, until the last of the chemicals were depleted. After that, the battery quickly died. Most camera makers omitted any voltage compensation in their meter circuits, and simply used the battery itself as a voltage reference.
Mercury PX-13 battery, curse of vintage camera-dom
By far the most common size used in older cameras was the PX-13 or PX-625 type. Its case had a raised shoulder around its minus end, making it look vaguely muffin-like.
Today we recognize mercury to be a highly toxic metal; and worldwide, mercury battery production has been phased out. Any stocks of mercury batteries now remaining are from old production runs—a safe guess being from sometime in the last millennium.
If you go shopping for a PX625 today, you’ll discover lookalike replacements being sold. But they are alkaline cells, not mercury. And the problem is, a mercury cell is a 1.35 volt battery. An alkaline cell starts out at about 1.55 volts instead.
In a calculator, kitchen timer, etc., this voltage discrepancy is unimportant. But a light meter works by measuring the exact current flowing through a photocell: so the wrong voltage can wreak havoc with accurate readings. A few cameras (notably Pentax) used a meter circuit which was insensitive to voltage variations—but for most meters, wrong voltage means wrong exposure.
Worse, an alkaline battery actually drops off in voltage as it’s used, so the error is not even consistent—really you get the worst of both worlds. (The same drooping-voltage problem applies with 3-volt lithium batteries, in applications where those could be used.)
But silver-oxide batteries are widely available, and maintain a flat voltage (of about 1.58 volts) over their whole lifetime. The long life of silver-oxide cells make them the first choice anywhere it’s possible to use them.
Meter-Battery Voltage: Myths & Reality
Sometimes you read confused internet discussions about whether this o.2-volt error is important. And some rather questionable assertions get repeated. One claim is: “modern film has such wide exposure latitude that it doesn’t matter.” Another is, “you can just change the ASA setting to compensate.”
Fortunately, I am lucky to own one last genuine, mercury PX-13 cell, which still has some juice to it. So I decided to make a definitive test for myself.
I took light meter readings using two classic old-school SLRs (an Olympus OM-1 and a Canon FTb), and compared them to a known-accurate Pentax V spotmeter. Using the intended mercury battery, I got the camera and the spotmeter to agree within about 1/2 stop, over the entire range from full sun to dim indoor light.
But with the higher voltage of a silver-oxide battery, the cameras’ meters gave incorrect readings—and with a strange pattern: In bright sunlight, the indicated readings would yield two and a half stops underexposure! Yet in dim indoor light (at about the limit for handheld shooting) the meter readings were nearly correct. Between those two extremes, there was a variable amount of underexposure.
Well, this demolishes both of the internet myths I mentioned. First, 2-1/2 stops of underexposure is a terrible idea with any negative film I know of. (You’d get ugly grain and totally blank shadows.) Second, there is no simplistic way to adjust the ASA to compensate, because the error is not consistent as you go from bright to dim light.
The errors could certainly be different for other brands of cameras, using different circuit designs. There is no substitute for checking your own equipment against a known-good meter. But obviously the problem is a real one.
Frans De Gruijter has written the definitive article on this problem, along with several solutions, downloadable here (500 kB PDF). This article goes into dense technical detail; but at the very least, look at the graph he provides on page 3, showing the voltage curves for several different battery chemistries.
And there you’ll notice an intriguing possibility: Zinc-air batteries.
Zinc-air is an interesting battery chemistry, giving excellent energy density at low cost—advantages that have made them the preferred power supply for hearing aids. Happily, zinc-air cells have a voltage quite close to that of mercury cells. And this voltage stays consistent over the battery’s lifetime, just as we’d like.
Pull the blue tab to activate the battery
Zinc-air chemistry is also the basis of the “Wein cell,” often sold in camera stores as the correct-voltage replacement for mercury photo batteries. However the cost of vanilla #675 hearing-aid batteries is much lower—about $6 for a pack of 8.
To use either of these types, you must pull off a sticky tab first, which allows air to enter pinholes in the battery case. The battery does not produce any voltage until oxygen reaches the interior. Unopened cells can be stored for many years and remain fresh.
But one downside is that the inside of a zinc cell must remain moist for the chemical reaction to work. In arid environments, the cell can dry out and stop working after just a month or two, before its electrical capacity has been used up.
Putting the sticker back over the air holes will prolong the battery’s life, if you can remember to do it. But with the low cost of hearing-aid cells you might just consider them expendable, replacing them often.
The 675 size hearing-aid battery is a little bit thinner than a PX13 mercury cell; also it lacks the “muffin” shoulder and so is smaller in diameter. Sometimes you will need to add a little spacer ring to keep it centered in the battery compartment.
For this, I just slice rings off the end of a piece of tubing of the proper diameter:
Now, the voltage of the zinc-air battery is not perfect—it can be a shade too high. In fact, both the Wein cell and hearing-aid solutions have some voltage quirks, which I plan to write about in another article. However let’s keep things in perspective:
Over 40 years, any light meter might drift out of calibration—even if supplied with the textbook 1.35 volts. The shutter speeds on a vintage camera could easily be out of adjustment by a half a stop or so. There can be some slop in aperture linkages, so that you aren’t getting precisely the marked f/number. Vintage cameras are not the place to look for 3-digit precision.
But my tests say that a zinc-air hearing aid battery will get you to within half a stop of the exposure reading you’d get using a mercury battery. And any error will be worst in bright sun—the one situation where it’s most reliable to trust those old “Sunny 16” instincts.
So if all that’s stopping you from taking some nice old camera for a spin is the mercury battery issue, go with the zinc-air cells. It’ll get you out there shooting after one quick, inexpensive trip to the drugstore.
Then you can explore other, techier solutions to the problem later, if you choose to go that route.
Update: More on the quirks of zinc-air battery voltage in this follow-up post.

Solar Panel Repairs
HomeFix Contractors can repair and maintain a wide range of solar panel systems, from small domestic systems to commercial systems containing hundreds of panels.
Solar panel systems are usually very reliable but, as with most things, they can occasionally go wrong. If your solar panel system has stopped generating energy or seems to be generating less energy than usual, one of our expert solar panel engineers can come and assess the system, identify the problem and resolve it as soon as possible to ensure that your Solar Panel System is back up to full working order.
As with most electrical repairs, we suggest you do not attempt to fix solar panel issues problem yourself if you are not qualified to do so. Not only will it be potentially very dangerous, but you could also void the manufactures warranty agreement. We highly recommend getting a professional and trained specialist (such as HomeFix Contractors) to inspect and repair any Solar Panel issues you may have.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Keeping solar panels clean, free from shade and in good working order is vital to solar panel maintenance and performance. Any reduction in the amount of the suns energy your solar panel receives will affect the efficiency and energy produced by the panels. Most commonly used solar panels consist of solar cells covered by a protective glass coating. The dirtier this glass barrier becomes, the more the efficiency of the solar panel will decrease.
More attention should be given to panels situated in dusty or high traffic areas, for example; next to a main road, or near farmland. These solar panels will need cleaning more frequently than others as the dust and dirt build up will be significantly more.

Most people understand that the electrical circuit is at the heart of the welding operation. What you might not be aware of, however, is how easy it is for disruptions in this circuit to interfere with productivity, weld quality and equipment service life.
|Understanding the role conductivity plays in the welding operation and how to troubleshoot problems that can reduce downtime, rework and unnecessary equipment costs.|
All of these factors are ultimately affected by conductivity: the ability of the electrical current to flow along the welding circuit. Conductivity can also be referred to through its inverse: resistance, or the interference of electricity to flow freely along the circuit. If the electrical current moves with very little resistance, the material is very conductive. Gold, for example, is one of the most conductive materials on earth (which is why it was used in early telephones and other electrical equipment), but its cost prevents its use in welding equipment.
Copper, aluminum and other metals are used in welding equipment because they strike a good balance between cost and conductivity. The copper used in welding equipment does a good job allowing the electrical current to flow. There is still a very small amount of resistance inherent in the properties of the material, but it is not enough to interfere with the welding operation. Excessive resistance along the circuit, however, can cause weld defects, reduce productivity and lead to premature equipment failure.
To understand exactly how conductivity impacts almost every aspect of your welding operation, it helps to think about the welding circuit like a garden hose. The water flowing through the hose is analogous to the electrical current in the circuit. If you squeeze the hose in one spot, it reduces the amount of water that is able to flow from the hose. Likewise, an area of electrical resistance, such as a worn out or dirty power pin connection, restricts electrical flow along the entire length of the circuit
When resistance prevents the electrons from continuing along the circuit, they convert their energy to heat, which is absorbed by the surrounding components. Heat causes plastic and metal components to expand and to contract when cooled, creating mechanical stress that can lead to premature equipment failure.
Interestingly, heat itself is a source of resistance, which is why high heat welding processes, such as with metal-cored wire, demand that the contact tip be recessed as far from the welding arc as practicable. As the contact tip absorbs the heat from the arc, it loses its ability to transfer the current to the wire, resulting in increasingly poor welding performance.
Excessive resistance anywhere along the circuit can result in a wide range of problems, including a sputtering or erratic arc, inconsistent weld appearance and frequent contact tip burn-back. These problems occur because resistance in the circuit reduces the amount of current that can flow to the welding arc. When the power source senses the reduced current at the arc, it sends a surge of voltage in order to overcome the restricted current flow. This increased voltage causes the popping and sputtering that leads to poor and inconsistent weld quality.
Being able to correctly identify and troubleshoot excessive electrical resistance is critical to reducing the equipment and rework costs.
|As seen in this schematic, there are many areas for interruptions in conductivity to occur. Routinely checking the mechanical connections between the components can avoid problems before they arise.|
The mechanical connections between the welding components account for most interruptions in conductivity. These include: the connection between the power source and the gun’s power cable plug; the fittings and connections between the gun’s power cable, neck, diffuser, contact tip and welding wire; and the connections between the work lead, welding table and power source. Routinely check these connections before problems arise in order to avoid compounded problems down the road.
|The neck, diffuser and contact tip are exposed to repeated mechanical stress as they absorb the heat from the arc and then cool down after welding is completed.|
There are three main types of power cable terminations: compression, set screw and crimped. Compression fittings typically provide the best combination of durability and reparability. Set screw fittings are easily repaired, but often come loose and require frequent tightening. Crimped fittings provide good contact between the cable and gun, but are also susceptible to overheating and gradual degradation. Loose cable, gun and power source connections should be tightened to manufacturer specifications or replaced if damaged.
Because the welding wire wears the bore over time, the contact tip should be one of the first areas checked during troubleshooting. A contact tip that doesn’t maintain constant connection to the welding wire should be replaced, regardless of whether it is the primary source of the conductivity problem.
Paint and other surface contaminants can reduce the conductivity of the work lead connection. To ensure maximum electrical flow, attach the work lead clamp to clean, unpainted metal and as close to the weld joint as possible. If using rotating work leads, such as turntables and positioners, conductive grease can help increase the conductive surface area between the moving and non-moving parts.
The other most frequent source of interruptions in conductivity is frayed copper stranding within the gun or, less frequently, in the work lead cables. These strands can fray and break due to repeated bending and twisting, particularly on guns that don’t contain strain relief components at the connection points with the gun and power source. Also, thermal stresses can cause the copper stranding to become brittle, increasing the likelihood of fatigue failure.
For this reason, the gun cable should only be bent or twisted if absolutely necessary. The resistive heat caused by frayed cable stranding, in addition to causing poor weld performance, can also accelerate the degradation of the remaining intact strands and cause the eventual failure of the cable.
|The power pin connection can become loose and cause increased resistance. The strain relief feature on this gun reduces the chances of the cable stranding breaking at the connection to the power pin.|
Unfortunately, it is difficult and often impractical to inspect the cable for damage as a preventative measure. Check the mechanical connections and fittings first if poor conductivity is the suspected source of a welding problem, and then proceed to check the condition of the cable.
It may be possible to cut and re-terminate the cable if the damage occurs near the connections to the power source or gun. Severe cable damage or damage near the middle of the cable may require replacement of the cable or the entire gun.
Welding technology has advanced substantially since the days of DC ‘buzz boxes,’ but one thing that has remained constant throughout the decades is the need to establish and maintain a robust electrical circuit. Resistance from loose fittings and connections will occur as a natural part of the wear and tear that welding equipment undergoes during normal use. However, knowing the common signs of poor conductivity and following a regular inspection routine will help ensure that built-up resistance doesn’t cause undue equipment and rework costs.

In the ever-evolving landscape of software security, multiple layers of protection are essential to safeguard both users and developers from cyber threats. Two critical components of software security are code signing certificates and antivirus software. Code signing certificates assure users that software is legitimate and untampered, while antivirus software detects and removes malicious code. In this article, we will explore how code signing certificates and antivirus software complement each other to provide comprehensive software security, dispelling the notion of redundancy.
Furthermore, we understand the importance of cost-effectiveness in software security. We will emphasize that even in this context, affordable options like cheap code signing certificates can be part of a well-rounded security strategy.
The Roles of Code Signing Certificates and Antivirus Software
Before delving into their complementarity, let’s understand the individual roles that code signing certificates and antivirus software play in software security.
Code Signing Certificates
Code signing certificates are digital certificates issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). They are used to sign software applications, scripts, drivers, and other executable files. Code signing serves several critical purposes:
Authenticity: It assures users that the software they are about to install or run comes from a legitimate and verified source.
Integrity: It verifies that the software has not been tampered with or modified since it was signed.
Trustworthiness: It enhances the trustworthiness of software by providing users with a visual indication (such as a digital signature) that the software has been signed.
Security: It prevents unauthorized or malicious code from running on a user’s device, as the code must be signed to execute.
Antivirus software, also known as anti-malware software, is designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious code or software, commonly referred to as malware. The primary functions of antivirus software include:
Malware Detection: It scans files, applications, and the system for known patterns or behaviors associated with malware, such as viruses, worms, Trojans, and ransomware.
Real-Time Protection: It offers real-time protection by monitoring the system’s activities and blocking suspicious or malicious processes.
Quarantine and Removal: When malware is detected, antivirus software quarantines or isolates the infected files and removes or disinfects them, preventing further harm.
Update and Database Management: Antivirus software relies on regular updates to its malware definition database to detect new threats effectively.
The Complementary Nature of Code Signing Certificates and Antivirus Software
Now that we understand their respective roles, let’s explore how code signing certificates and antivirus software complement each other to provide comprehensive software security.
1. Preventative and Reactive Measures
Code Signing Certificates (Preventative): Code signing certificates primarily serve as a preventative measure. They establish trust in software before it is downloaded or executed. Users can confidently install signed software, knowing it comes from a verified source and has not been tampered with.
Antivirus Software (Reactive): Antivirus software operates reactively, scanning and identifying threats that have already made their way onto a user’s device. It acts as a last line of defense, identifying and removing malicious code after it’s been executed.
Complementarity: Code signing certificates prevent users from installing or running untrusted or tampered software, while antivirus software provides a safety net by detecting and neutralizing threats that may have evaded preventative measures.
2. Verification and Detection
Code Signing Certificates (Verification): Code signing certificates verify the authenticity and integrity of software. They ensure that software comes from a trusted source and hasn’t been altered.
Antivirus Software (Detection): Antivirus software detects and identifies malicious code based on known patterns and behaviors. It flags or removes any software exhibiting these characteristics.
Complementarity: Code signing certificates provide verification, while antivirus software focuses on detection. Together, they create a comprehensive security approach that covers both trusted software and the identification of malicious code.
3. Behavioral Analysis
Code Signing Certificates (Limited Behavioral Analysis): Code signing certificates do not directly analyze the behavior of software. They primarily focus on the software’s origin and integrity.
Antivirus Software (Behavioral Analysis): Antivirus software employs behavioral analysis to identify suspicious activities, even in previously unknown threats. It looks for patterns of behavior that may indicate malicious intent.
Complementarity: Antivirus software’s behavioral analysis complements code signing certificates by identifying threats based on their actions, even if they come from a seemingly legitimate source.
4. Protection Throughout the Software Lifecycle
Code Signing Certificates (Pre-Execution): Code signing certificates protect software before it is executed. They ensure that users only run trusted and unaltered code.
Antivirus Software (Runtime and Post-Execution): Antivirus software offers protection during runtime and post-execution. It continuously monitors the system for suspicious activities and can detect threats that manifest after software execution.
Complementarity: Code signing certificates are crucial for establishing trust before execution, while antivirus software maintains security during software operation and beyond.
5. Trust and Reputation
Code Signing Certificates (Trust Establishment): Code signing certificates contribute to the establishment of trust and a positive reputation for software publishers. Users are more likely to trust signed software.
Antivirus Software (Reputation Verification): Antivirus software verifies the reputation of software based on its behavior and known threats.
Complementarity: Code signing certificates help build trust, while antivirus software verifies the reputation of software in real-time, providing an additional layer of assurance.
6. Customization and Flexibility
Code Signing Certificates (Customization): Code signing certificates are customizable, allowing developers and organizations to sign their software with their unique digital signature.
Antivirus Software (Flexibility): Antivirus software offers flexibility by providing customizable settings for scanning and threat detection. Users and organizations can configure it to meet their specific security needs.
Complementarity: Customizable code signing certificates enable software publishers to establish their identity, while flexible antivirus software adapts to the user’s or organization’s security requirements.
In the complex landscape of software security, code signing certificates and antivirus software are not redundant but rather highly complementary. They serve different yet essential functions, addressing distinct aspects of security, trust, and threat detection.
Code signing certificates play a pivotal role in establishing trust and verifying the authenticity and integrity of software before it is executed. They act as a preventative measure that builds user confidence in the software’s source.
Antivirus software, on the other hand, operates reactively, focusing on the detection and removal of known and unknown threats during runtime and post-execution. It serves as a safety net, identifying and neutralizing threats that may have evaded code signing’s preventative measures.
When used together, code signing certificates and antivirus software create a robust and comprehensive security strategy. This combination provides both prevention and detection, verification and behavior analysis, trust establishment, and reputation verification throughout the software’s lifecycle.
Moreover, it’s essential to emphasize that cost-effective options like cheap code signing can be part of a well-rounded security strategy. These certificates offer an accessible means of establishing trust and authenticity, making them an essential component of a comprehensive software security approach.
In conclusion, developers and organizations should view code signing certificates and antivirus software not as redundant but as complementary tools in their arsenal, working together to ensure the security, trustworthiness, and integrity of their software in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

A New Type of Neutron Star Observed
An international collaboration of scientists, led by Dr Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney, has just announced the detection of an unusually slowly rotating neutron star emitting strange radio pulses.
One of the perks of discovery that excites astronomers most is when they stumble across something odd, weird and not fitting the regular models of what they were originally searching for. There are good reasons why these models exist - as many prior observations are refined through historical work to create data sets that feature baselines, regular parameters, and observable / testable phenomena - but that is not to say the outliers don’t pop up.
Sometimes the outliers can be far fetched - too good to be true, artefacts of instrumentation issues or the like. And sometimes, well, they can be remarkably interesting - with the potential to change our understanding of science, introduce new objects we never knew about, and even flip those models on their heads.
Today, a new paper has been published in Nature Astronomy by Dr Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney which describes an outlier in the population of neutron stars - and it might be one of those cases that could change our understanding of this population across the Galaxy.
In the new article, Dr Caleb and her collaborators describe the strange new source they found as a neutron star giving off pulsed radio emission as it rotates once every 76 seconds. Pulsed radio signals from neutron stars is nothing new - an entire class of neutron stars exists known as pulsars (with the majority of the neutron star population observed being pulsars) - but none are known to rotate this slowly.
The discovery itself was somewhat serendipitous as Dr Caleb and her group used the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa (an array of 64 dishes, each 13.5-metres in diameter and spread over a larger region) to piggyback on observations being undertaken by another science group which was looking for different types of radio transients.
"Our data pipeline had originally identified this emission as radio frequency interference (RFI) due to its wide pulse duration, but luckily we always manually inspect the output," Dr Caleb told us.
The new object, named PSR J0901-4046, is somewhat weird when looking at the models of neutron stars. It is unlike the known pulsar population which have spin periods that start around 1.4 milliseconds and go up to 23.5 seconds. Nor is it just a regular neutron star, as it is emitting unique radio pulses, periodically. Its magnetic field is extremely powerful, about a quadrillion times that of your regular fridge magnet at home - giving some similarity to a handful of extremely magnetised objects known as Magnetars.
What makes this neutron star really special, is that its long rotation period and complex magnetic field structure seem to point toward a new type of object. Dr Caleb and her team think it could belong in a theorised class of objects known as the ‘ultra-long period magnetars” - of which only one other source, found using the Murchison Widefield Array, might be associated.
“Amazingly, we only detect radio emission from this source for 0.5% of its rotation period. This means that it is very fortuitous that the radio beam intersected with the Earth,” said Dr Caleb. “It is therefore likely that there are many more of these very slowly spinning sources in the Galaxy which has important implications for how neutron stars are born and age.”
PSR J0901-4046 is located in the constellation of Vela - an area of the sky that has been searched and catalogued over many decades in the radio regime - in fact, one of the most famous pulsars resides here (the Vela pulsar, and its associated supernova remnant). So how did this new object evade detection until this point in time?
It all came down to the way pulsar searches are conducted - often requiring astronomers to search for periods that they think the pulsar might be spinning in. And of course, according to the known population of pulsars so far, nothing really spins slower than 23.5 seconds. Until now.
“The majority of pulsar surveys do not search for periods this long and so we have no idea how many of these sources there might be,” said Dr Caleb. “In this case, the source was bright enough that we could detect the single pulses with the MeerTRAP instrument at MeerKAT.”
Evolving Compact Remnant Objects
Neutron stars exist because of the quirky quantum behaviour of subatomic particles. They form after supergiant stars, about 8 - 25 times more massive than our Sun, become unstable at the ends of their lives and explode as spectacular supernovae. During these events, the remaining stellar core falls inwards due to gravity, and the only thing preventing the core from total collapse is an effect known as neutron degeneracy pressure - which pushes the particles away from one another and prevents neutrons to be squeezed in any closer than a certain, limited configuration within a finite volume.
The rotation of these objects is the result of a shrinking radius that occurs during the core collapse event - where the progenitor star once used to be very big in size, it is remarkably small afterwards the supernova. This is a similar effect to seeing an ice skater spinning on the spot with their arms extended and then bringing them in - as they do, their rotational velocity increases. This means that the resulting neutron star contains approximately one to two times the mass of the Sun squeezed into about a millionth of the size - with most neutron stars being around 20 kilometres in diameter - making neutron star matter the densest material in the known universe.
Intense magnetic fields on the surfaces of these tightly packed objects tend to be upwards of 10 billion times the strength of Earth’s magnetic field and can accelerate electrons up towards the star’s magnetic poles (as well as other regions) to produce luminous radiation. This emission generally detected most prominently at radio wavelengths, often creates a pulse-like effect as the rotation of the neutron star shifts the direction of this radiative beam periodically; creating a lighthouse-style effect which is why astronomers term them ‘pulsars’.
Often, neutron stars and pulsars are referred to as one of the final evolutionary phases of massive main-sequence stars, and this is true - once these giants have exhausted their fuel reserves and undergone their supernovae events, they have transitioned into new, compact remnants.
But even neutron stars and pulsars evolve over time. For neutron stars, their surfaces cool down eventually, no longer emitting in the high-energy regime. In the case of pulsars, they lose angular velocity and their magnetic field levels subside, eventually falling below a threshold known as the ‘pulsar death line’ - where they are no longer capable of producing pulsed radio emissions due to the low magnetic field levels and slow spin periods. At this point, they just revert to becoming cooling neutron stars.
For some of these now ‘dead’ pulsars, who reside in binary pairs, they can have their angular velocity spun up again through the accretion of materials from their companions, as they evolve (these are a sub-class known as millisecond pulsars).
What makes J0901-4046 interesting is that it resides within the ‘pulsar graveyard zone’ - its spin is too slow to be doing what the other pulsars are doing - generating radio emissions. Unless of course, we are looking at an entirely new sub-class of neutron stars that have powerful magnetic fields but slow angular rotational velocities.
“The sensitivity that MeerKAT provides, combined with the sophisticated searching that was possible with MeerTRAP and an ability to make simultaneous images of the sky made this discovery possible. Even then it took an eagle eye to recognise it for something that was possibly a real source because it was so unusual looking!” said Dr Ian Heywood from the ThunderKAT team and the University of Oxford who collaborated on this study.
The Dawn of a New Population of Neutron Stars
Following the initial discovery and a review of the data, Dr Caleb set out to conduct follow-up observations to confirm the findings and the timing solution of this peculiar source, as well as other observations at different wavelengths, in the hopes that it might shed some light on this fascinating object.
At first, they observed with the MeerKAT radio telescope and later used the CSIRO Murriyang Parkes telescope to obtain precise timing measurements confirming the periodicity of the pulses that they had observed at radio wavelengths, and then additionally, they followed up using the space-based x-ray Swift Observatory to look for any detections at these frequencies. Unfortunately, none were found in this high-energy band.
However, the discovery of J0901-4046 does open up a range of new questions that has scientists excited - such as the possibility that many more of these types of objects exist across the Milky Way Galaxy which are not able to be seen from Earth due to their beams pointing away from our field of view.
Or maybe what we are finally observing is a missing link of the evolutionary phases of these compact objects, as they transition from magnetar to neutron star and pulsars or vice versa.
There’s even discussion that these objects might be linked to a relatively new, and yet not-fully-understood phenomena in radio astronomy - Fast Radio Bursts - with some theories suggesting these are generated by magnetars.
With this case now announced, further studies will hopefully find more of these objects, increasing the population that can be analysed by astrophysicists and revealing a little more about the outliers. Flipping the model on its head.
The paper is now available in the journal, Nature Astronomy

The car will be road tested at Toyota City in Japan. Solar charging technology for the vehicle will then be further optimized before the vehicle goes on sale.
The car has large portions of its surface covered in indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) triple-junction cells and has a power output of 860 W.
Toyota has had a solar version of its Prius model since 2017, when a version was revealed which featured a small 180 W solar roof panel supplied by Kyocera. The model was only available in Japan and lacked the oomph to charge the vehicle’s battery for a range of more than 6km.
Now though, Toyota has returned to the concept and begun road testing a new generation of solar improved Prius’. This time Toyota collaborated with Sharp and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for a different cell tech that purports to offer a massive 34% conversion efficiency. The cell was developed in 2016 by Toyota’s two partners. Combining indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) the result is a triple-junction cell.
The solar Prius of two years ago had only a small part of its roof covered with solar cells, the new version blankets the entire roof, bonnet and boot lid with high efficiency cells, resulting in a considerably higher generation output. The result can charge the vehicle battery while driving rather than just while stationary.
|Prius PHV (solar charging system)
|New demo car
|Solar battery cell conversion efficiency
|Rated power generation output
|Approximately 860 W
|Maximum charge to the driving battery while the vehicle is parked (per day)
|BEV-mode cruising range equivalent to 6.1km
|BEV-mode cruising range equivalent to 44.5km
|Maximum charge and power supply to the driving and auxiliary battery while the vehicle is being driven (per day)
|Supplies power only to auxiliary battery, which powers car navigation system etc.
|BEV-mode cruising range equivalent to 56.3km
Toyota will test the new demo car in Toyota City in Japan’s Aichi prefecture and other areas. The carmaker wants real-world data on generation output and battery charging levels to develop the onboard solar charging system further.
“Toyota plans to share a selection of trial data results with NEDO and Sharp,” said a company statement. “The PV-powered vehicle strategy committee and other entities will evaluate the benefits from improvement in the reduction of CO2 emissions and the improvement in convenience, including the number of times a vehicle requires charging. The goal is to further contribute to the creation of a new solar battery panel market, including the transport sector, and find solutions for energy and environmental issues.”
The announcement comes after Netherlands startup Lightyear announced its take on a solar powered car – the Lightyear One. While that EV boasts a 450-mile driving range its solar surface provides only 40-50 miles, outlasting the new Prius demonstration model. The Lightyear One will begin commercial production in 2021 with reservations available for 500 units. For those interested, the manufacturer’s suggested starting retail price is a casual $136,000. There are no price disclosures for the Prius as yet.

CyberOptics Reports Stronger Than Forecasted Third Quarter Operating Results
October 24, 2007 at 16:00 PM EDT
CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq:CYBE) today reported operating results for the third quarter of 2007 ended September 30:
Kathleen P. Iverson, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Our above-plan operating results in the third quarter were paced by much stronger than anticipated sales of electronic assembly sensors and continued robust demand for inspection systems. Sales of electronic assembly sensors to our primary OEM customers were at their strongest level within the past two years, reflecting an upturn in the global electronic assembly market that we believe started strengthening during this year’s second quarter. Our third quarter sales also benefited from the shipment of the remaining half of 37 SE 300 solder paste inspection systems from an earlier order. In addition, significant orders for both solder paste and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems were received from original design manufacturers (ODMs) and electronics manufacturing services companies. We also completed our first Flex Ultra AOI sales to key ODM and memory module customers, who previously had only used our SE 300 solder paste inspection systems. We ended the third quarter with a solid backlog of inspections systems and believe that fourth quarter revenue from inspection systems should increase from the third quarter level.”
Iverson continued: “Order bookings of both electronic assembly sensors and inspection systems totaled $15.7 million in the third quarter, and we ended this period with a backlog totaling $8.1 million. The majority of this backlog is scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter. Sales of electronic assembly sensors are forecasted to remain robust, although we expect the fourth quarter sensor order rate to moderate somewhat from the exceptionally strong third quarter level. As a result, we are forecasting sales of $13.5 to $14.5 million and earnings of $0.12 to $0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007 ending December 31. Our fourth quarter guidance incorporates the continuation of higher R&D investment related to the development of next-generation solder paste and AOI systems.”
Steven K. Case, Ph.D., chairman and founder, added: “We believe that the upturn in the global electronics assembly market should continue into 2008. To fully capitalize upon positive market conditions, we will continue the accelerated R&D program that we implemented in the third quarter, which is aimed at keeping our systems offerings on the leading edge of inspection technology. We see substantial opportunities for inspection solutions based on faster production through-put speeds, programming ease of use, and improved imaging resolutions. We believe the next-generation systems now under development will also serve us well in future market environments, since demand for inspection systems is not driven solely by increases in production capacity. To help ensure end-product quality, automated inspection is increasingly required for inspecting the progressively smaller and nearly microscopic components now used in a growing range of end-user electronics. For this reason, CyberOptics long-term future will benefit from today’s investments.”
Founded in 1984, CyberOptics Corporation is a leading provider of sensors and inspection systems that provide process yield and through-put improvement solutions for the global electronic assembly and semiconductor capital equipment markets. Our products are deployed on production lines that manufacture surface mount technology circuit boards and semiconductor process equipment. By increasing productivity and product quality, our sensors and inspection systems enable electronics manufacturers to strengthen their competitive positions in highly price-sensitive markets. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we conduct worldwide operations through facilities in North America, Asia and Europe.
Statements regarding the Company’s anticipated performance are forward-looking and therefore involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: market conditions in the global SMT and semiconductor capital equipment industries; increasing price competition and price pressure on our product sales, particularly our SMT systems; the level of orders from our OEM customers; the availability of parts required for meeting customer orders; the effect of world events on our sales, the majority of which are from foreign customers; product introductions and pricing by our competitors; and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
