a dissolvable tablet that treats seizures. Aprecia Pharmaceuticals said Monday the FDA approved its drug Spritam for adults
The tablet is manufactured through a layered process via 3d printing and dissolves when taken with liquid. The Ohio-based company says its printing system can package potent drug doses of up to 1, 000 milligrams into individual tablets.
It expects to launch Spritam in the first quarter of 2016. The FDA has approved previously medical devices including prosthetics made with 3d printing.
An agency spokeswoman confirmed the new drug is the first prescription tablet approved that uses the process.

#Your Pill Is Printing: FDA Approves First 3-D-Printed Drug In a first, the Food and Drug Administration has given approval to a drug that is produced on a 3-D printer.
The pill, produced by Aprecia Pharmaceuticals, treats seizures. It's expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2016.
"The new tablets are manufactured using 3-D printing, which creates objects by very precisely spewing out one layer of a substance on top of another. 3-D printing is being used to make all sorts of things these days."
"The FDA had approved previously medical devices made with 3-D printing. The company that makes Spritam says the 3-D-printed version of the drug allows it to dissolve more quickly,
which makes it easier to swallow.""Another benefit of the process, says Aprecia, the drug's maker, is that it allows a high drug load up to 1,

Recently, researchers have looked to DNA as a method to store large amounts of digital information that are saved currently on hard drives.
Our hard drives may seem pretty stable for now, but because of what they're made of,
our hard drives can store up to five terabytes of data, encoded with the zeros and ones of binary code.
if the DNA would be able to retain information longer than a hard drive does now
It not likely that your next computer will store your data in DNA. It still prohibitively expensive,
The project, called Restoring Active Memory (RAM), could help people suffering from traumatic brain injury. The Defense department research wing shared both milestones last week at a conference called ait, What?
#The Future Of The DNA Hard drive Back in August at a chemistry conference, the worlds of science fiction and fact merged with the announcement of a technological advancement in data storage.
After all, imagine being able to store the entirety of the world data on one hard drive.
However, for one group of computer experts, better known as IBM, venturing into this foray is par fort the course.
The company has been part of computer history and known for developing such famous names as Mark 1, PC, ig Blue, and Watson.
I reached out to Dr. Spike Narayan. He the Director of Science and Technology at IBM Research and has a passion for taking the computerized world to new heights.
For him the DNA technology isn as new as we might think but hasn gained momentum for one particular reason:
This stability can provide far more than just a hard drive to last the ages. Because DNA is always present in a variety of biological environments
the idea of a personal DNA hard drive within the body may also be possible. According to Dr. Narayan, it already happening at the microbial level. everal years ago researchers built the first self-replicating bacterial cell
what we currently do today with computers. But while this may be possible, Dr. Narayan wonders if this might be the best approach.
There also another reason why this personalized biological hard drive may not be the best option. We do not yet have the technology to read it.
There is little doubt the future of the DNA hard drive is bright. Yet while the biological aspects may be suited perfectly for a variety of applications
For Dr. Narayan, the answer to the future of the DNA hard drive is clear. NA as a medium for archival storage may have place in digital storage.
For now, the devices need to be attached to a computer using a thin cable, but could someday connect wirelessly via Bluetooth,

when an adversary is able to remotely access a computer, bypassing authentication such as a login screen.
A second example of attack is called heap feng shui where attackers hijack the control of a browser by manipulating its memory layout.
Another example of attack is called directory harvesting where spammers interact with vulnerable mail servers to steal valid email addresses.

"Stealthy attacks buried in long execution paths of a software program cannot be revealed by examining fragments of the path,"Yao,
"Over time, these stealthy attacks on computer systems have just become more and more sophisticated. The Virginia Tech computer scientists'secret formula in finding a stealth attack is in their algorithms.
With specific matrix-based pattern recognition, the three were able to analyze the execution path of a software program
