In the not so distant future the fish-bot could be put to use for covert science missions where it might be able to infiltrate schools of real fish to collect data about their behavior.
and it was found that the brain automatically assimilated data from multiple sensors in the palm of the hand.
At the Ecocloud center at EPFL Dr. Edouard Bugnion and Professor Babak Falsafi are carrying out research into energy-efficient memory architectures for data centres that can handle huge amounts of data.
and IP instead in the same way that Wolfram is talking about owning the database of the internet of things.
and quantifies this into data which enables physical therapists to provide accurate instruction on movement and patients to confirm their own movements. his robot has a force sensor
Based on data collected from these sensors calculations are made on the force of muscle contraction within the arm as well as on the amount of calories consumed by each muscle during training.
In addition we use augmented reality technology to make these results visible. y databasing measurement data collected during training the Tsuji Lab is constructing a rehabilitation cloud system
and pulse waveform storing the data in the cloud. hen we talked to people they often said that measuring each health indicator separately is time-consuming and bothersome.
If possible people want to obtain all their health data in one go. The equipment needed to do that is still large but wee made it as compact as possible.
Our idea is that people could check their health data regularly in places they often visit
Because the data is saved all the physician can give suitable advice while looking at the information the user has obtained so far.?
Once inspection is complete the data is analysed and suspicious areas are marked. Available data from earlier inspections is used to detect changes
and the damage map is updated. The next time a ship is due for inspection the damage map is checked
since the inspectors already have access to the data they can identify critical problems in advance
and control tasks (with the exception of a microcontroller for bundling sensor data) are executed on a base station that runs the Robot Operating system.
The robot uses four Sharp infrared distance sensors for edge and obstacle detection and an Invensense MPU 6050 IMU provides the operator with orientation data.
So for people whoe been thought of as totally immobile until now this system could open up a lot more possibilities based on scientific data such as shoulder movements for example. nother option is called Face Switch

The force on the tip of the robot is estimated from the air pressure data and that information is sent to the surgeon master robot.
in the case where external sensors are used (e g. 3d motion capture system) the data can be sent to the units over this wireless link.
The only information that a unit needs for flight is its local sensor data and its position with respect to the vehicle centre of mass.
we needed a very large robotic data set of visually salient image features paired with corresponding robotic state estimates,
and it was simply infeasible to gather all this data by ourselves. That where the Parrot AR.
We thought we could develop a game for the Parrot that would serve as a means for crowdsourcing the data we needed.
data-gathering could be done in a gaming context, making it fun for people to participate in the experiment.
which can be used send data over the internet. The code for communicating with Parrot is open source. Methodology The question we faced experimentally was how to couple the real-world object to the virtual space in which the drone would be flying.
Figure 1 shows two configurations that give exactly the same marker detection data. In the edcase, the marker is in the left part of the image
sending and receiving data from the drone, performing state estimation (X y z) with respect to the marker and rendering the 3d world.
After extracting the vision data and concatenating this with the state estimates, the data is encrypted for transmission.
Finally, since some players may use 3g for sending their data we considered that the data should be as compact as possible.
Therefore, the data is compressed on board the iphone before being sent. The data from 5 textured images on average takes around 77 kb.
Testing and Launch Our original plan was to work on the game from February to April 2012,
launch it in May or June, and analyze the data from August to September. In reality, we didn converge on the final code until November 2012.
Of course, when you are developing the app, you know the program inside out and by habit you may avoid playing the game in such a way that would make the program malfunction.
So in November we invited other people try out and rate the app. The ratings and comments were used to perform some final adjustments,
and 458 of these people had contributed already to our experiment by sending their data. This is a nice start,
it cannot send its data. There was no message that showed the absence of an internet connection (solved in version 1. 2). At the same time
we have started analyzing all the data that is coming in. In the future, we may also improve our crowdsourcing game in various ways,
In any case, it an adventure to work with this exciting new way of gathering robotic data n
#Kubi telemedicine device gets HIPAA clearance for streaming medical data Revolve Robotics and Swymed have collaborated to create a HIPAA compliant telepresence device called Kubi that can stream medical data.

Multiplexing is the process of separating streams of data that are traveling through a single medium
"Each frequency can carry a separate data stream, and the data receiver at the other end could pick up an individual stream by accepting radiation at a specific angle.

#Light-based memory chip is first to permanently store data Today electronic computer chips work at blazing speeds.

When electrons move through the basic parts of a computer chipogic circuits that manipulate data,

To write data in this layer, the scientists piped an intense pulse of light into the waveguide.
When the researchers wanted to read the data, they beamed in less intense pulses of light and measured how much light was transmitted through the waveguide.
they knew their data spot on the GST had an amorphous order; if more was absorbed, that meant it was crystalline.
and their colleagues also took steps to dramatically increase the amount of data they could store
and read multiple bits of data simultaneously, something you can do with electrical data storage devices. And, as they report this week in Nature Photonics,
by varying the intensity of their data-writing pulses, they were also able to control how much of each GST patch turned crystalline or amorphous at any one time.
With this method they could make one patch 90%amorphous but just 10%crystalline, and another 80%amorphous and 20%crystalline.
That made it possible to store data in eight different such combinations, not just the usual binary 1s and 0s that would be used for 100%amorphous or crystalline spots.
This dramatically boosts the amount of data each spot can store, Bhaskaran says. Photonic memories still have a long way to go
and the data are exciting, but we will need to move carefully, says Steven Deeks, an HIV/AIDS clinician at the University of California, San francisco (UCSF),
But perhaps more important than just a way to control a robot in the absence of knowing how to do it autonomously is being able to observe and collect data from the robot.

"Stroynowski said.""Nature would be really strange if we do not find something new.""SMU is active on the LHC's ATLAS detector experimentwithin the big LHC tunnel,
That's a lot of collision data, says SMU physicist Robert Kehoe, a member of the ATLAS particle detector experiment with Stroynowski and other SMU physicists.
Evaluating that much data isn't humanly possible so a computerized ATLAS hardware"trigger system"grabs the data,
makes a fast evaluation, decides if it might hold something of interest to physicists, than quickly discards
"That gets rid of 99.999 percent of the data, "Kehoe said.""This trigger hardware system makes measurements
"To further pare down the data, a custom-designed software program culls even more data from each nanosecond grab,
reducing 40 million events down to 200. Two groups from SMU, one led by Kehoe, helped develop software to monitor the performance of the trigger systems'thousands of computer processors."

Data from the ATLAS particle detector's Liquid Argon Calorimeter is transmitted via 1 524 small fiber-optic transmitters.
"Failure of any transmitter results in the loss of a chunk of valuable data. We're working to improve the design for future detectors because by 2017 and 2018,
the existing optical data-link design won't be able to carry all the data.""Each electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical signal converter transmits 1. 6 gigabytes of data per second.

Sekula said. 10 times as many Higgs particles means a flood of data to sift for gems LHC Run 2 will collide particles at a staggering 13 teraelectronvolts (Tev),

They designed a pixel that can not only measure incident light but also convert the incident light into electric power.
At the heart of any digital camera is an image sensor, a chip with millions of pixels.
The key enabling device in a pixel is the photodiode, which produces an electric current when exposed to light.
This mechanism enables each pixel to measure the intensity of light falling on it. The same photodiode is used also in solar panels to convert incident light to electric power.
The photodiode in a camera pixel is used in the photoconductive mode while in a solar cell it is used in the photovoltaic model.
Nayar, working with research engineer Daniel Sims BS'14 and consultant Mikhail Fridberg of ADSP Consulting, used off-the-shelf components to fabricate an image sensor with 30x40 pixels.
each pixel's photodiode is operated always in the photovoltaic mode. The pixel design is very simple,
and uses just two transistors. During each image capture cycle, the pixels are used first to record
and read out the image and then to harvest energy and charge the sensor's power supplyhe image sensor continuously toggles between image capture and power harvesting modes.

In a modern, multicore chip, every core or processor has its own small memory cache, where it stores frequently used data.
If one core tries to update data in the shared cache, other cores working on the same data need to know.
So the shared cache keeps a directory of which cores have copies of which data. That directory takes up a significant chunk of memory:
In a 64-core chip, it might be 12 percent of the shared cache. And that percentage will only increase with the core count.
When multiple cores are simply reading data stored at the same location, there no problem.
Conflicts arise only when one of the cores needs to update the shared data. With a directory system, the chip looks up
which cores are working on that data and sends them messages invalidating their locally stored copies of it. irectories guarantee that
no stale copies of the data exist, says Xiangyao Yu, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science and first author on the new paper. fter this write happens,
core A can keep working away on a piece of data that core B has provided since overwritten that the rest of the system treats core A work as having preceded core B. The ingenuity of Yu
and each data item in memory has associated an counter, too. When a program launches, all the counters are set to zero.
When a core reads a piece of data, it takes out a easeon it, meaning that it increments the data item counter to,
say, 10. As long as the core internal counter doesn exceed 10, its copy of the data is valid.
The particular numbers don matter much; what matters is their relative value. When a core needs to overwrite the data,
however, it takes wnershipof it. Other cores can continue working on their locally stored copies of the data,
but if they want to extend their leases, they have to coordinate with the data item owner.
The core that doing the writing increments its internal counter to a value that higher than the last value of the data item counter.
Say, for instance, that cores A through D have all read the same data, setting their internal counters to 1
and incrementing the data counter to 10. Core E needs to overwrite the data so it takes ownership of it
and sets its internal counter to 11. Its internal counter now designates it as operating at a later logical time than the other cores:
Theye way back at 1, and it ahead at 11. The idea of leaping forward in time is
Now, if core A tries to take out a new lease on the data, it will find it owned by core E, to
Core E writes the data back to the shared cache, and core A reads it,
Tardis also eliminates the need to broadcast invalidation messages to all the cores that are sharing a data item.
you can use this data for, say, 100 cycles, and I guarantee that nobody else is going to touch it in that amount of time.
because if somebody else immediately afterward wants to change the data, then theye got to wait 100 cycles before they can do so.
