Efficient single-beam light manipulation of 3D microstructures in azobenzene-containing materials |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 19, pp. 18687-18695 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (932 KB)
Large aspect ratio 3D microstructures (arrays of square posts and linear rectangular gratings) fabricated in a number of azobenzene-containing materials by soft lithography were manipulated by a single beam of polarized light. The materials exhibited different response to the beam orientation and the direction of light polarization. An elongation of the square posts both along and perpendicular to the polarization plane was observed depending on material. Reversibility of the deformation has been demonstrated. Broadening of the hills, amplitude and shape changing were observed for linear gratings. A slanted expose led to the blazed asymmetric structures. Some aspects of light-induced deformation mechanisms in azobenzene-containing materials are discussed. The approach developed in the paper can be useful both for the understanding of mass transport mechanism in azobenzene-containing materials and for the fabrication of diffracted optical structures.

Ohio and other parts of the nation may be frozen, but an expert says the world is still warming. Lonnie Thompson, an Ohio State University professor who has studied the effects of climate on glaciers around the globe, said public opinion on climate change tends to shift in response to cold weather patterns. "We have a tendency to say, 'Well, if it's cold here; the world must be getting colder.' Well, this is not true," he said. "We live on a huge planet. It's a complex system, and that natural variability that's always been with us continues, even though the longer-term trend is toward warming."
A sergeant in the Village of Genoa Police Department who mocked a neighboring police chief in Facebook post cartoons has been disciplined for his actions. Sgt. Todd Mocniak took down the Facebook posts referencing Clay Township Police Chief Terry Mitchell and had "corrective counseling" in a one-on-one session with Chief Bob Bratton in early December, the chief said. Clay Township borders part of Genoa and the departments regularly assist one another with mutual aid calls.
Northwood officials are continuing to discuss the possibility of being part of a regional dispatch center with other communities in Wood County, but nothing yet has been decided. Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer recently gave a presentation on the topic to Northwood City Council. Hummer, who is leading the effort, has made similar presentations to Lake Township, Walbridge and Rossford, which would also be part of the center.
Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of Oregon's Recreation and Parks Committee, last summer told the president of the James "Wes" Hancock Senior Center that accurate information on a proposed 0.5-mill senior services levy should be provided to voters to increase chances of getting it passed. Seferian and Reeves told Bob Marquette, president of the center, that voters don't like to be "duped."
An upgrade in the village administration's telephone system is almost complete in Genoa. The communications update was necessary given the old system was nearly 15 years old, administrator Kevin Gladden said. Liberty Consulting, also known as ISSO, is the company charged with handling the changeover. The estimated cost is about $12,000 but the final bill won't be issued until the project is finished in the next few weeks, according to Chuck Brinkman, village fiscal officer. |

CHAMBLEE,GA—Construction is under way here for a four-story, 124-room Value Place extended-stay hotel, with completion planned for February 2015. Last fall, Value Place announced plans to expand in the Atlanta area and the company continues to seek real estate in the region for future corporate and franchised hotels. EMJ Hospitality of Chattanooga, TN, is managing the project at 2877 Dresden Drive, near the intersection of the I-85 Northeast Expressway and Chamblee Tucker Road. "Atlanta is a great market and we look forward to expanding our presence in the local community," stated Value Place Development, LLC, President David Redfern. Value Place has more than 180 hotels located in 32 states. The company owns 75 of the properties and provides management services for both company- and franchise-owned locations.

I'm using VS2012 mostly because there is no other alternative to use 2010, other that getting an MSDN subscription which is a bit too expensive for me. And although I've peeked at the upcoming 2013 it really didn't appeal to me. A "social media" option right on the main screen?
What's disturbing to me is the speed in which this new version came out. 2010 was released in, well, 2010 whereas 2012 got released at the end of 2012, basically 2 years later. And considering the fact that there's still a lot amiss in version 2012 I think it's quite disturbing that instead of addressing all of those (self inflicted!) issues they're now trying to sell us yet another version.
And of course; unlike with regular software products you don't have to expect a discount from Microsoft. If you're already using Visual Studio then prepare to cough up the full price again to "upgrade".
The reason this upsets me should be obvious... One of the new features (link to "What's new in VS2013) is: "You may notice the more than 400 modified icons with greater differentiation and increased use of color".
That feature would be a welcome one had it not been Microsoft themselves which removed those colours to begin with leaving at least 13 THOUSAND developers to demand their colour back (link to official VS feedback forum thread).
In all fairness they did give us a "theme editor" which managed to undo some of the damage. But the black, hard to recognize, icons still remained in place.
And so here is Microsoft's official answer: "Sorry we messed up, we fixed the colours for you, please cough up the same amount of cash to get 2013 and be on your way".
Yeah right...
This isn't merely a rant of how I think Microsoft is screwing us over. It's also a rant about how Microsoft are screwing themselves over. There are a lot of VS2010 users out there who know better than to upgrade to the flakeyness which we got now.
The problem, as I see it, is that Microsoft doesn't try to appeal to all those developers in order to persuade them to get into VS2012. Instead they simply sped up their release cycle, apparently hoping that all the suckers "valued customers" who bought 2012 are now going to buy into 2013 to get rid of their problems.
With an attitude like that, and with the competition that's all around us, I think Microsoft are going to have a rough time ahead.
Personally I don't see the need to upgrade, but if I did I'd simply run an 2013 Express version along side my licensed 2012. Because why should I spend money on something which might have bugs or inconsistencies in it which may never get fixed in the first place?
Don't get me wrong: In general I think quite highly of Visual Studio. It honestly has come a long way, I love how I can easily combine an ASP.NET web project with a desktop project, all in the same solution where both projects utilize a 3rd (mutual) supporting project. The interface in general (when talking 2012: WITH theme editor in place) is pretty slick and straight forward and I'm actually happily impressed with the way I can find my way around C# with all my Java knowledge.
And a strictly personal opinion, but I really think the IIS web / application server can be more extensive, or easier to use, than Java's Glassfish. Even though I also admire that project as well.
THAT is why I rant. I think Microsoft has some huge potential, but they're throwing it away with crappy marketing and a seemingly disdain for their customers. "We listen to our customers" they say, yet when millions of VS2012 users cry out about a shoddy interface they're met with silence at first. Followed up with a theme editor, fair is fair.
But it seems that the real issues with some people have (myself excluded; I'm relatively happy with VS2012 in the way it is now) will only go away if they cough up yet another amount of cash for a new license.
THAT is poor customer service.

I thought the ending was okay. Still mad about Lancer being interpreted as a (relatively) small fry, but I'll get over it. I don't like how Shirou and Saber had to be separated; I like happy endings. Also kind of surprised that they didn't explore Archer's past more. Guess they want you to play the game. Sadly, I can't do that until I learn Japanese . |

Is Tohko a true Magician? I thought she was "just" an insanely powerful magus. But power has little to do with the ability to use one of the Magics...
Oh, and the ending was awesome. Not even Sir Yakumo could ruin it. 9 for the episode (I was expecting Kirei to do something cool...) |

One for each of the five magics. The Second is Zeltrech's, the Fourth's is Aoko's. The Third, I think, is Justica von Einzbern's, but that's just my guess. The First and the Fourth are long gone, or dead, but I think they still count even if their identities are unknown.

Touko doesn't wield magic, but she is a very very good mage
On the other hand, Aoko wields magic, but is not so good at sorcery. She's one track minded. She can only use her magic for one thing. Kinda like Shirou, I guess. the difference? think of magic as in literally.. magic.. every other mage try to figure out how to replicate it until their hair turns grey, but no success while sorcery is something that can be studied and learned by anyone. It's equivalent to another form of science. |

Regarding this ending episode, bad CG strikes again! Not that it's very noticeable, but the whole tentacles behind Kotomine aren't that smoothly CG-fied. I'm just nitpicking, of course. Here's wishing for Fate/Stay Night remake: UBW! XD;

I have to say that I'm a tad more harsh than you, so I'll give the series as a whole a 7. It suffers from a huge amount of inconsistency, from ideas (let's not show that they have sex and go with a "circuit-eating dragon", then later on imply that they indeed have sex), to animation quality, to pacing. The series felt like being in a car driven by someone who constantly knee-jerks on the accelerator and the brakes. Most agree on which episodes were good, great, and bad. As much as I like the story, I can't bring myself to re-watch it marathon style like I would on other great series like FMP:TSR or Ouran, but good enough to check certain parts of it repeatedly (oh how many times have I replayed the farewell and Saber's final slumber. Goddamn glad we're in the digital age and not to have to worry about VHS tape wear-and-tear). That ending though. Wow. I agree that they dropped the ball on this one, because the story itself deserves a 10, if not an 11 in my book. It truely is an amazing story and (corny speech incomming) finding/watching/reading such great stories is what makes me happy to be an anime buff. I mentioned earlier that it's a tad sad that there are no other Type-Moon franchise to look forward to (are they working on anything new??).

The ending itself was really nice. Very nice touch with the wind. Although I don´t really understand why the female teacher felt it too.
Other than that. I think this show started out great but when Archer disappeared it got more and more boring. Even though it had some very nice episodes after that too. The only thing I absolutely didn´t like was the relationship between Emiya and Saber.

You know, I was sort of hoping for a OVA or something where Saber will reappear again and we'll get to see Shirou using his UBW and all....Don't get me wrong though. I love the ending. What Shirou was thinking in the end was exactly what I'm thinking. Though Saber may not be alive now, though both Saber and Shirou were separated by time, their heart will always be linked as long as they still love each other. And even though Saber interpret the whole ordeal as a dream, the feelings she felt for Shirou will never be a dream. As much as I want to see Saber and Shirou stayed with each other, I'll still prefer this ending over the latter.

Also, are those titles Big/Complex/Popular enough to generate a whole series? And are any of them post FSN? I don't see why they would animate something older...

Here is Kara no Kyokai. Angel Notes are in Beast's Lair if you're interested. Those are mostly set in Nasuverse, but are not continuations of Tsukihime or Fate/Stay Night. They have the same concepts and ideas since they occur in the same universe. Really, the beauty of Nasuverse aren't just Tsukihime or Fate, but how Nasu spins stories about the world he's created.

To those that say Saber died: how does that remotely make sense? Was she fatally wounded? No. Did she have some sort of fatal disease? No. What reason does she have to just die? Plotwise I can see this making some form of sense, but logical sense? Absolutely not. Bedivere had that reaction because she's going to be sleeping far beyond his (her?) time.

dc.description.abstract | Periderm is a protective tissue that replaces the epidermis in woody plants and consists of three layers: phellogen, phellem, and phelloderm with cells in discrete radial files. Lenticels and cork wings deviate from this arrangement. Stems of Ulmus alata were examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy to determine the site of phellogen initiation, lenticel initiation, cork wing initiation and their development. Phellogen is initiated in the subepidermal parenchyma which is consistent with other members of Ulmus. Phellogen initiation does not appear to be associated with structures of the epidermis or underlying stem. Lenticels are initiated by irregular divisions of the lenticel phellogen and the radial expansion and lateral separation of the cells produced. Mature lenticels have alternating layers of complementary cells and closing layers. Cork wings are initiated by the radial expansion of phellem followed by increased divisions of cork wing phellogen compared to the rest of the periderm. | en |

A word of caution for those expecting a boy!!!
Posted 06/25/2013
This is my 3rd pregnancy and with my last (my only boy), my BTDT sisters neglected to inform me about little boys' fire hoses! I had my son circumcised and the way it was done, the ring caused his little wee wee to face up (toward his face) until it healed. Needless to say it took me about 2 weeks of constantly bathing him and changing his outfits bc no matter how tight I made his diaper, the pee managed to escape everytime. Finally, I got smart and put 2 Kleenex down the top of his diaper where the pee was escaping and it worked perfectly until he healed! Don't be like me!!! Save yourself the trouble, also they will pee on you when changing them, I always put a clean Kleenex or wipe over it to ensure I wouldn't get hosed during the change also. I have also heard now of teepee tents that they sale and a nurse told me she always put a Dixie cup over it when she would change boys in the nursery... I wish I had this info prior to my 2 week ordeal! Best of luck!
Posted 06/25/2013
I was just talking to my SO about that, thanks for the info. I didn't know anything about the circumcision, I'll definitely try wipes or a Kleenex!

Yep, you can point it down. You just have to hold it down while you are putting the diaper on!!!
Posted 06/26/2013
The tee pee tents don't work well. The fall off as soon as the babes wiggle their legs around..better off just throwing a wet cloth (for weight) on top...

I just put a wipe over him when I changed him and made sure his penis was pointing down when I put the new diaper on. Make sure the front of the diaper sits right at his belly button (for newborns, the cut out for the cord should literally fit around the cord "button"). Boys need the diaper to sit higher in the front than girls do.

Best camera to take on a safari?
I'm spending 2 weeks on a game reserve next year and want to buy the best camera that will allow me to take photos from a distance.
Can anyone recommend one please?
Will you need the camera for anything afterwards, or are you buying one just for the trip? Keep in mind that you'll likely be dropping about $1000 on a body and then additional for lenses.
If you just need the camera for that one trip, I'd be tempted to suggest renting a body and lenses instead.I am responsible for what I say; not what you understand.

absolutely, the problem though is that you will not know how to use it in time to make it work for you on tour.
My suggestion, unless you want to start a photo expedition - get something that you can use easily, that carries and packs easily AND you can get charged. That way you can be sure to collect great memories of your trip.
For pictures of the animals, but a coffee table book. Most reserves have books of the area done by people who spent months working on them.
You will get home and have 1000 pictures of whatever animal and none will be as good as the book.
Apologies if this sounds negative... but I do a heap of safaris and unless you have really good kit and know how to use it, it is not worth the hassle of carrying it all.
The tour is 2 weeks; even renting the gear for an additional week or two would allow for at least effective general use. User just needs to know to set the ISO to a reasonable level for the light conditions, set the aperture in A, and set the camera to continuous.
Let's assume you're going with the basics: 2 bodies, a few basic safari lenses (24-70, 70-200, 200-400).
D300s: $1700
24-70: $1900
70-200: $2400
200-400: $7000
Even cutting that down to a D300s, 16-85, and 70-300 VR you still have a tab of almost $3k, you lose out on the long end and low-light, have to swap lenses a LOT more often (not a good idea on safari) and are STILL costing a helluva lot more than a rental:
30 Day Rental: (Lensrentals.com)
D300s: $370
24-70: $230
70-200: $280
200-400: $970
Include a fairly comprehensive insurance rider for a month, and you're probably still under $3k, and if not, you're not off by much. This is, of course, also for top-end gear: switch it up to a lower-rent version and you're really saving.
That allows for 2 weeks of learning and practice and 2 weeks of use. Pretty much a slam dunk if you ask me.
Buying a coffee table book is all fine and good, but I'd feel much more accomplished showing off a book of my OWN more mediocre photos than having guests come over and go "Oh, look at the animals some other guy saw in the same park!"Last edited by OsmosisStudios; 12-12-2011 at 02:42 PM.

Buying or renting top line equipment still wont make person a better photographer, especially in 2 weeks. A valid option is take a superzoom point and shoot - easy to carry etc, cheap, and will get photos, certainly good enough to show your friends. If its a tour, there will likely be someone along with a good kit. Befriend them, get copies :-) Buy the book as well, good for local economy.

To me it looks like the OP has zero idea, just by the general nature of the post.
I move hundreds of people on safari every year... I stand by what I wrote.
Get the easiest camera to use (at your comfort level) to capture the human moments and landscapes. The coffee table book is the best way to get great animal shots.

The bracelets look very colorful in the pictures. What I received was bronze silver, gold and rose gold shades. returning it.
Nice assortment of style, etching, colors. Since more than one of each type can layer effectively.
Got these for my granddaughter along with 2 other sets. She says these are her favorite. She loves the colors and the width. Easy to put on, look good and so many to choose from
LOTS of bangles for the price. I can mix and match the bangles, making it very versatile. Little noisy when I wear them, but super cute.
I ordered these bracelets because some of them look pink in the photos. They are not pink AT ALL!!! They are a bronzy color, not even a rose gold color. UGH. cannot wear them for an event I wanted them for. So disappointed.
I love these bracelets! I mix them up and sometimes only wear a few and other times I stack them. They are fun and I am enjoying wearing them with different outfits to create a little something extra. I would highly recommend this bracelet set.
I was sooo glad the bracelets came so soon after ordering because I had an occasion to attend and they were the perfect compliment.

Though the scientific community has done wonders for our society, in recent years scientist and popular science writers have had a ballooning antagonism toward religious thought. In The Devil's Delusion, mathematician David Berlinski sets out to examine the so-called "militant atheism" pushed by such voices as Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, and offer his own defense for religion. Veteran narrator, Dennis Holland's casual yet confident voice enhances the authority and humor of Berlinski's intelligently designed arguments. So, whether you are coming to this audiobook to reaffirm your stance on religion or you side with science and are looking for a smart, counter-argument, Berlinski's The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Delusion makes for a great listen.
Militant atheism is on the rise. In recent years, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have produced a steady stream of best-selling books denigrating religious belief. These authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community.
In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil's Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.
©2009 David Berlinski (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"A Logical and Concise Criticism of Modern Atheism"
Berlinski's prose is second-to-none. I could read his writings all day long and never tire.
Berlinski's ability to see "behind the curtain", as it were, and expose the nonsensical nature of modern, militant atheism and cosmology.
Not really applicable for this book...
"Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions"
The official subtitle works great.
(Taken from my Amazon review)
After [listening] this book for the [third] time, I have to say that it comprises one of the most logical and well developed criticisms of atheism in the modern day. Berlinski is clear in stating that he himself is not a believer, but an agnostic Jew. Only, he can see the glaring holes in conventional cosmology and atheism clearly enough to feel the need to defend the often derided alternative world view of a higher power. And this is something he does extremely well.
For a topic so ensnared by controversy and ad-hominem debate, Berlinski remains level headed and admits when his points are less than certain. This is not to say that his arguments lack evidence or efficacy, just that he's willing to admit when something is simply unprovable when so many others will not.
If you're open enough to critically challenge your world view, I can't recommend this book enough. It is superlative among its peers and remains one if the best works in this ever fiery category.
"Riddled With Problems"
I'm currently in the middle of this book, but even if I found the rest of it completely revelatory and satisfying I would still be writing this review.
Also, before I get into the problems with content, I have to say that Dennis Holland's narration is pretty monochromatic and robotic. I wondered for a moment if they'd gotten a more sophisticated Microsoft Sam or Siri type of program to read this book, so take that into consideration.
I came to this book as someone who's currently trying to figure out what I really believe about the nature of the universe and the existence of God. I've been reading books on science, theology, various religions, etc. - so I worked this one into the rotation in the hope that it would continue to broaden my perspectives and help me learn about things I've yet to.
I have been severely disappointed.
To begin with, Berlinski's prose - while well-worded - is absolutely dripping with disdain and condescension. Time after time he strays so far into self-congratulatory narcissism with his word choice and style that this book practically grinds to a halt. He spends paragraphs just calling people names and outlining how he doesn't like this person or what they've said; but rarely does he offer specific reasons as to why he finds someone "odious" or enumerate counterpoints to their hypotheses. Where something resembling a counterpoint can be offered, he invokes philosophers and thinkers of history - sometimes ancient history - without any consistency. At one point he uses David Hume against one of his targets, and then later turns his sneering condescension on David Hume's thinking itself. Moreover his dependence on historical philosophy and science flies in the face of history and science; two things that are constantly having to be updated as new facts come to light.
His big opening argument is one of the most tired and well-addressed of all: Nazis. To paraphrase and simplify "The Nazis were atheists, obviously the Nazis were evil, so clearly atheism is evil." Apart from the fact this argument completely ignores the socio-political history of Germany, numerous psychological factors on an individual and group scale, and grossly oversimplifies geopolitical climate - it's simply not true. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord" ... That's a two-fer, Hitler invoking traditional Christian thought and creationist ideology. But Himmler and Rosenberg espoused pagan beliefs founded in the myths of Germanic folklore. Kerrl even believed that Christianity could be integrated into Nazism as part of the official party platform. So if you're going to call out the Nazis for being atheists, you've got to contend with a mountain of evidence that says the opposite - or at the very least that they were simply moral degenerates who used whatever philosophical and religious means they could get their hands on to manipulate the people and justify their actions. But calling that behavior "atheism" instead of just "evil" is unforgivably reductive and inaccurate, and Berlinski marches right past those more complex ideas while patting himself on the back for so thoroughly revealing atheism to be the real reason Nazi Germany happened in the first place.
The book is filled with these kinds of oversimplifications and logical fallacies. When he's not invoking ad hominem argument attacks against those he deems intellectually inferior, he's rattling off war/genocide statistics for several minutes. I mean this quite literally; at one point in his riposte against the idea that the 20th century has seen a largely improved human condition (historically speaking) he lists all the wars and genocides and dictatorships that occurred during the 20th century along with their estimated death tolls. I don't know how long it took, but it felt like an eternity listening to the almost robotic narrator go on and on and on when the same point could just have easily been made in a few short sentences. Berlinski seems, however, far too interested in making his point as laborious and pretentious as possible.
Elsewhere he says "Science has no method - like golf - beyond the trivial." This, by the way, in a paragraph denouncing what he perceives as the pretentiousness of the scientific method and the arrogance of those who invoke it. I am genuinely stumped by how a man so demonstrably brilliant (his bibliography touches on topics of mathematics far more complex than I personally can claim to fully understand) can so arrogantly accuse others of arrogance. I'm even more stumped at how an agnostic and self proclaimed secular Jew with no active belief in the supernatural can so abhor the scientific method; arguably the cornerstone of empirical thought and research.
There are sparks of good arguments in here, there really are. There is so much fertile ground for intelligent discussion and debate regarding NOMA, or how Big Bang cosmology squares and/or doesn't square with the ideas of creationism and intelligent design, or the difficulties that Darwinian evolution still has to overcome from a theoretical standpoint, or the havoc wreaked by even the most well-intentioned scientific endeavors...the list goes on. But in place of thoughtful arguments (meaning an explanation of the shortcomings/strengths, and then an offer of counter-argument against/in favor) Berlinski is only interested in poking holes and then using his considerably impressive vocabulary (the man is undoubtedly a wordsmith) to stand back and admire his own intellect. If this book were drained of its ad hominem arguments, false dilemmas, arguments from incredulity, snarky rhetorical questions, laborious lists, insufferable arrogance in the face of easily cited fact, and some plain-old-playground-name-calling...it could fit on a napkin. And that's just the kind of catty putdown with which this book is filled, by the way.
The entire book is effectively one long argument from its own conclusion, so if you're just looking for some cleverly-worded phrases and putdowns to spit at atheists during your next rant - you have come to the right place and you won't find a more gleefully kindred spirit in that endeavor than David Berlinski. But if you're currently trying to find well-constructed arguments for belief in the supernatural, you would be much better off in the hands of C.S. Lewis, Francis Collins, John Lennox, or even Ravi Zacharias.
Yes. Because this book clearly lays out the case for a Designer and casts shadows on the Evolution Model,
Clear voice and easy to understand.
It made me sit up and listen closely, Then gave me good reason to research this subject.
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"Brilliant analysis..."
I read this book after Tina Beattie's penetrating critique of the new atheists, a growing group led by the ill informed and ego driven Dawkins. Berlinski's book drives deeper into the problems of the atheist militants, and the hard clear logic presented here shows the political and personal motives, not to mention the gross contradictions and inconsistencies, of a new wave of non believing fundamentalists. A must read for a thinking person.
Jim R
the author is brilliant witty and hilarious. the reader was in lock step with the authors tone. highly recommended, I am buying this book for all my friends that try to keep up on the gush of info on these issues/debate.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Pat Romanski Since 2008 and for the first time in history, more than half of humans live in urban areas, urging cities to become "smart." Today, cities can leverage the wide availability of smartphones combined with new technologies such as Beacons or NFC to connect their urban furniture and environment to create citizen-first services that improve transportation, way-finding and information delivery.

By Liz McMillan Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tom Wesselman, Director of Communications Ecosystem Architecture at Plantronics, will examine the still nascent IoT as it is coalescing, including what it is today, what it might ultimately be, the role of wearable tech, and technology gaps stil...

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 2, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,070 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Carmen Gonzalez The industrial software market has treated data with the mentality of "collect everything now, worry about how to use it later." We now find ourselves buried in data, with the pervasive connectivity of the (Industrial) Internet of Things only piling on more numbers. There's too much data and not enough information.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Bob Gates, Global Marketing Director, GE's Intelligent Platforms business, to discuss how realizing the power of IoT, software developers are now focused on understanding how industrial data can create intelligence for industrial operations.

By Carmen Gonzalez Operational Hadoop and the Lambda Architecture for Streaming Data
Apache Hadoop is emerging as a distributed platform for handling large and fast incoming streams of data. Predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing and analyzing streaming data is the Lambda Architecture, representing a model of how to analyze rea... Mar. 1, 2015 02:00 PM EST Reads: 1,385 |
