Machines talking to machines No doubt that the Olympics will have a profound effect in shaping London's future. By the time the Games begin, for instance, it will have Europe's largest free WiFi zone, with the city's iconic red phone booths converted, fittingly, into hotspots. But another opportunity London landed earlier this month could have just as much impact, perhaps more. A company called Living PlanIt announced that it will begin testing its "Urban Operating System" in the Greenwich section of the city. What does that mean? Put simply, London would have its own operating system, much as your PC runs on Windows or your Mac runs on Apple's IOS. This ties into the latest hot buzz phrase, "the internet of things," which describes a world where machines talk to other machines. No human interaction required. So, for a city, this means sensors in buildings would connect to sensors in water treatment plants which would connect to sensors in stoplights. It would be one gigantic, computerized urban nervous system, which a lot of experts think is the only way cities can survive a future when they'll contain more than two out of every three people on Earth. Based on what sensors reveal about the location and movement of humans in a section of a city, for instance, buildings will automatically adjust their temperatures, streetlights will dim or brighten, water flow will increase or slow. Or, in the event of a disaster, emergency services would have real-time access to traffic data, trauma unit availability, building blueprints. And soon enough, our smart phones will be able to tap in to the Urban OS. So will our household appliances. This is not some 21st century analogue of the personal jet pack. The Urban OS is the driving force behind a smart city being built from the ground up in northern Portugal. Construction is scheduled to be completed in three years; eventually it will have about 150,000 residents. It will also have more than 100 million sen

IonOptix is proud to announce the release of the MyoStretcher, our new cardiomyocyte force measurement system. Facilitated by the arrival of IonOptix MyoTak, our bio-compatible cell adhesive, we've developed the MyoStretcher with a focus on simplicity, ease-of-use and reliability. The MyoStretcher includes all of the necessary components to stretch as well as record force in isolated myocytes. In addition to the sensitive force transducer, motorized micro-manipulators and all component fittings, we also offer an optional piezo-electric translator for programmable stretching and a kit to facilitate attachment of glass rods to the MyoStretcher arms.

'Anti-Troll' Marblar Unites NASA Patents, Samsung to Crowdsource New Products - 1 views
-
can be found in NASA technology, and the new crowdsourcing website Marblar is taking advantage of that to find the next big thing.
-
The site Wednesday announced that several hundred patents from NASA and other organizations would be available for its users to play with.
-
many companies' research and development departments spend millions of dollars on such patents, more than 95 percent of them sit unused.
