Predicting adhesion Using this data, the researchers created a model to help them alter the composition of the material depending on the circumstances.
one of their biggest limitations is the capacity of their tiny batteries to deliver enough power to transmit data.
which are needed for brief transmissions of data from wearable devices such as heart-rate monitors, computers, or smartphones, the researchers say.

The data, the researchers say, are most valuable for testing and refining computer models.""Our measurements are both fairly time-consuming,
In the past researchers could obtain either high-resolution optical images or electrophysiological data but not both at the same time.
The teams created two types of quantum bits or qubits the building blocks for quantum computers that each process quantum data with an accuracy above 99%.
Researchers are therefore searching for ways to harness other properties of electrons such as the'spin'of an electron as data carriers in the hope that this will lead to devices that consume less power.
They expect that such devices could play a role in developing microelectronic circuits that would use light instead of electrons to carry data
Analyzing the data using a sophisticated model developed at MIT the researchers discovered that only a small percentage of nanoparticles absorbed and released ions during charging even

#How Scott Collis Is Harnessing New Data To Improve Climate models Each year Popular Science seeks out the brightest young scientists and engineers and names them the Brilliant Ten.
--The Editorsargonne National Laboratoryharnessing new data to improve climate modelsclouds are one of the great challenges for climate scientists.
But rudimentary data has simplified their role in simulations leading to variability among climate models. Scott Collis discovered a way to add accuracy to forecasts of future climate by tapping new sources of cloud data.
Collis has extensive experience watching clouds first as a ski bum during grad school in Australia and then as a professional meteorologist.
and Climate research he realized there was an immense source of cloud data that climate modelers weren't using:
In one stroke Collis unlocked years of weather data. We were able to build such robust algorithms that they could work over thousands of radar volumes without human intervention says Collis.
When the U s. Department of energy caught wind of his project it recruited him to work with a new radar network designed to collect high-quality cloud data from all over the globe.
but already the data that Collis and his collaborators have collected is improving next-generation climate models.
The data he has gathered explains how pathogens ride on wind currents and provides a glimpse into an almost unknown ecosystem far above our heads.
With the data he has collected thus far Schmale has built a model of atmospheric circulation that shows large sections of air sweeping across the face of the planet like waves across an ocean transporting dust and microbes thousands of miles.

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.
This compliance is a big deal: no longer do MDS have to rely only upon what they see,
they can use data streaming directly to the app to help make decisions. In smaller rural hospitals or even in ambulances, where a specialist cannot be physically there,
HIPAA compliance means that medical data can be streamed. A simple MD telepresence consult, which is similar to a telephone call,

#Light-based memory chip is first to permanently store data Today electronic computer chips work at blazing speeds.
and moves data with photons of light instead of electrons would make today chips look like proverbial horses and buggies.
When electrons move through the basic parts of a computer chipogic circuits that manipulate data,
can store data only if they have a steady supply of power. When the power is turned off,
the data disappear, too. Now, researchers led by Harish Bhaskaran, a nanoengineering expert at the University of Oxford in the United kingdom,
and CDS and DVDS use this difference to store data. To read out the datatored as patterns of tiny spots with a crystalline

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.
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.
Given hours of data recording the details of human strategies for balance and pose adjustment,
(I/O)- intensive applications such as server farms is required the energy consumption to transport bits of data around.
Into the microprocessor foundryadvances in microprocessor performance increasingly are limited by the ability to feed data into the microprocessor
