2012 is the most anticipated year for the tech enthusiasts. With a taste of developer preview of Windows 8 to rumors of retina display in the iPad 3 everyone has focused their attention to the latest tech news to get a glimpse of what these new gadgets will come with. One of the major attractions is the Samsung S2 which was declared the 'best smart phone of the year 2011′ by several reviewers is expected to come in another avatar – Samsung
Galaxy S3
Let us now check some rumored features of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
OS and Processor
According to some reputed tech-geeks, the Samsung S3 is expected to have the latest Android 4 or the Ice Cream Sandwich OS. It may also come with a quad core processor. However some rumors say that the phone will be available in two variants- dual core as well as quad core. The S3 is expected to house the quad core Samsung Exynos 4212 super fast 1.8GHz processor which will be a delight for playing games as well as performing other functions.
Also the Samsung team has supposedly added 2 GB RAM in the new beast. If it is so then it will be the highest among smart phones.
The latest unofficial information on the camera is that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will have a 12 MP camera. Now that will entice all the Samsung fans considering the Samsung image quality. It will definitely give tough completion to other phone models with 12 MP cameras. Also some people say it will come with 3D video recording capabilities. Now this is something the iPhones or lumias must be wary about. Some tech pundits also speculate on a 16 MP camera. Now that will be a feature nobody can't resist!

Design and Display:
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is supposedly designed on its predecessor Samsung Galaxy Nexus/ Galaxy S2. However it is expected to feature a bigger 4.6î screen. The phone supposedly lacks button on the front screen unlike the S2 which at least had a home button on the bottom of the screen. Also as everyone knows (info. leaked by Samsung) the Samsung will use the new FOLED technology in its screen- So you can expect the phone to come in an unusual shape. (Maybe not)
One of the major complaints with the Samsung Galaxy S2 was its battery support. A 1650mAh battery couldn't do justice to the large 4.3″ screen and the phone pretty soon ran out of power. A little bird told me that the successor will have a battery with better configuration and at the same time other hardware features (like energy efficient FOLED screen) are carefully chosen so that the phone efficiency is increased considerably.
Release Date:
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is expected to be launched in April 2012. Before that however we would be real thankful if the phone is displayed in the Mobile Congress set to begin from 27th March, (to 1st April) so that we can feast our eyes beforehand we grab the new Samsung Galaxy S3 with the Ice cream Sandwich. Yummy!

Cytomegalovirus, Molecular Detection, Quantitative PCR, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Only orderable as a reflex. For further information see CMVQU Cytomegalovirus DNA Detection and Quantification, Plasma
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is 1 of the most important infectious agents of transplant recipients, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Direct effects of infection include fever, leukopenia, hepatitis, colitis, and retinitis. Other manifestations of CMV infection in this population may be more subtle and include allograft injury and loss, increased susceptibility to infections with other organisms, and decreased patient survival (ie, indirect effects).(1) The risk of CMV disease in solid organ allograft recipients is highest in patients who have a negative CMV serostatus prior to transplantation, and receive an allograft from a CMV seropositive individual. Other factors, such as the type of immunosuppressive protocol, age of the recipient, and comorbidities, may also be associated with an increased risk of CMV disease.
Available diagnostic techniques for CMV include serology (which for transplant recipients is used to determine the pretransplant serologic status of the donor and recipient), viral culture (conventional tube culture and shell vial cell culture), antigen detection, and nucleic acid detection by PCR. Of these, PCR assays demonstrate the most sensitive and specific detection of CMV, while allowing for quantitative monitoring of CMV DNA levels in peripheral blood over time.
In general, higher viral loads are associated with tissue-invasive disease, while lower levels are associated with asymptomatic infection. However, there is a wide degree of overlap in viral load and CMV disease. For this reason, trends in viral load over time may be more important in predicting CMV disease than a single absolute value. Recommendations for serial monitoring of transplant recipients with quantitative CMV PCR have been published.(2,3) In general, changes of >0.5 log(10) may represent a biologically significant changes in virus replication.

Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Only orderable as a reflex. For further information see CMVQU Cytomegalovirus DNA Detection and Quantification, Plasma.
A positive test result indicates the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA; a quantitative value (copies/mL) is reported.
A result of "none detected" does not rule out the presence of CMV DNA (see Cautions).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Only orderable as a reflex. For further information see CMVQU Cytomegalovirus DNA Detection and Quantification, Plasma
This test should not be used as the only criterion to form a clinical conclusion; instead, results should be correlated with other test results, patient symptoms, and clinical presentation. The trend of viral loads over time may be more useful than a single absolute value for predicting the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease.
A result of "none detected" does not necessarily indicate the absence of CMV infection. False-negative results may be due to suppression of virus replication to levels below the detection threshold.
Some patients with tissue invasive disease may not have detectable viral load levels in peripheral blood. In these cases, qualitative detection of CMV DNA from tissue biopsy may provide useful adjunctive information.
This assay is only to be used for patients with a clinical history and symptoms consistent with CMV infection, and must be interpreted in the context of the clinical picture. This test should not be used to screen asymptomatic patients without risk factors for disease.
There is poor standardization between commercially available CMV PCR tests, and results from different institutions should not be directly compared. Quantitative results are best monitored using a single institution.
Inadequate specimen collection or storage may invalidate test results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Version 2.5 of the ArduCopter code is now available in the AP Mission Planner and in the downloads area!
The default PIDs are optimized for a 3DR/Jdrones quad with 850 motors and 10" props. If you're using more powerful motors/props, start by turning down Rate Roll P in 25% steps.
While some testers have reported very good flights with the default PIDs, some have reported that this release is a little "sharper" due to the DCM improvements and have found they needed to:
reduce stabilize P by 10% (i.e. 4.5 -> 4.2)
reduce stabilize D by 30% (i.e. 0.15 -> 0.10)
increase rate D from 0 to 0.001
Tuning loiter can be tricky. Refer to the discussions which will appear below for more community feedback on what parameters work best.
Please post your feedback in this discussion. For enhancement requests and bug report, please add them to the arducopter issues list. When possible please include logs (tlog and/or dataflash) and tell us whether you're using APM1 or APM2 and what version of the software you're using (presumably 2.5 but tell us anyway!).
Thanks for this release go to the developers (both in the core team but also those who have provided bug fixes through the issues list) and also the community members who participated in the previous release thread and provided some great detailed information in the form of issue reports and logs which allowed us to nail some bugs!
Nice :D welcome to the sky
Hi all, I'd like to show you how my hexa flies :-)
Guys I am really getting frustrated these days with tuning. And honestly, I'm about ready to go buy a skywalker and set that up instead. My copter used to fly like the above video from the above previous post or better. My hexacopter is running the latest version from the mission planner. I am having a few different issues and would love some opinions on them:
1. My aileron and elevator channels responds abnormally with it being very numb around the center but when it does move it is very abrupt. It takes quite a bit of stick deflection to get it to pitch forward and then when it does it is extremely abrupt resulting in massive stick deflection in the opposite direction to try and keep it from rocketing away. I had upped the stabilize_P value from 4.5 to 4.9 and then 5.0 and it seemed things got a bit better (still no oscillations). 4.0 was completely unstable. I moved the Stab_D value down to .020 as I read it might have worked on another similar setup and I think it helped. I'm honestly tuning blindly. Making random changes it seems and hoping for the best. I've read all of the tuning guides but nothing really seems to be working. All the motors are calibrated correctly.
I tried playing with the dampening values but could not really get them to work. I'd rather set my expo values in my radio personally if that is what it refers to.
2. My sonar was working half decently and tests fine in the terminal. When I switch to alt hold while flying ,with my sonar enabled, the copter now wants to slowly rise or fall without any signs of stopping.Is this because the copter is rising or falling when I engage it?
3. I'd like you guys to see the below video to see my setup. I was flying the below setup minus the landing gear, floating camera plate and fpv gear very well around the 2.0.46-2.0.49 time period. I was out of the game for a while while I was planning a rebuild after a crash and did not have time to commit to fixing it. Now that I have reloaded and tested everything, I am having just utter shit flight qualities. It seems like the copter is always wanting to drift and it seems like my compass is always adding on about 5-10 degrees to the left after I stop yawing with the stick.
So I am wondering if the landing gear is creating any major issues with the sensors from a pendulum effect? Does that have any bearing or should I be compensating in the tuning values somehow? I would mount the batteries above the APM if it helped.
I would love to help, but here's the problem. You have changed everything and had a crash. You say it flew fine before you rebuilt on older code, but now it flies bad and your assumption here is that the code is the problem. I respectfully disagree as 2.5.5 fixed just about all the issues I had, it workes fine on my hexa and quad.
By your comments about it wanting to yaw and the compass seems to be pulling is likely is your battery wiring is near the compass and throwing it off. Again, stuff you likley messed with in the rebuild, Try twisting any power wires, and moving them as far away from the APM as possible. Simply turning the battery around in the mount so when you plug in the leads it goes another way around can make a difference here. Again, if this is happeing, no amount of tuning will matter because you basically glitch the compass and the slow auto correction to the gyros is happpening in the code.
Hi Grips. Please post your settings and what motors and battery you're using. My hexa is a bit smaller than yours, but I'm using much smaller STAB P values and I'm happy with it. I'm in version 2.5.4 but don't think there's much difference regarding stabilization laws. I'm using STAB P of 3.2 STAB_D 0.090 and RATE P of 0.100, RATE_I of 0.010 and RATE_D of 0.001 . Of course our settings are different but you may want to start with this values and see if it gets better or worse. Regarding those stick strange beahaviours, are you sure you don't have exponential curves on the channels ? Try them linear, also you might want to check the I terms, or set them to 0 just to give it a try. Avoid metallic objects near the compass (5 / 10cm) . Also if you're using a switched uBEC, put it the far away as you can from your RX since it may cause interference. If nothing this works, try yo re calibrate your ESCs one by one. Also, in order to level the hexa, what I do is use a bubble level to make it as levelled as possible (measure from top of motor to top of motor across using small thing underneath the landing gear to level it and connected to the mission planner, hit the "level" button. I noticed that doing this, in the air, without wind, my hexa has almost 0 drift :)
Hi Grips,
Don't give up !
Then, don't bash the code if it doesn't perform on your own, unique design.
Remember, the code is written, and tested, on factory standard platforms.
Personally, I'm happy with that.
It seems to work there, the videos prove it :-)
If you want large, well, there are "off the shelve" products out there.
Just add another zero or two to the price, and good luck with support and spares.
As for Fixed Wing, go for it !
I also have a ST Models Discovery fitted with an APM1, from day one it performed beautifully :-)
Can you post your dataflash logs? At least for #2 (altitude hold) it should be pretty clear if it's the landing gear that's interfering with the sonar. There's a CTUN message that appears in the log and it has "Sonar Alt" and "Baro Alt". If the two are wildly different then there's likely a problem. Or if there are lots of spikes in the sonar message is a command issue people face (usually EMI is the cause).
Also the poor roll/pitch control should show up in the ATT messages by comparing the "Roll IN" to the "Roll". Of course that just makes the problem visible, not an immediate solution but it should show us something.
For #3..there is a "yaw bounce" at the moment in which the yaw overshoots. I was looking at this over the weekend and I have a partial fix but it's tied up with a bigger change..
Randy. I have attached two screen shots of the roll vs roll-in and the baro-alt vs sonar-alt. Looks like some discrepancies in the altitude one for sure.
Right now my values are as follows
ok, your sonar is definitely bad. you can see it's constantly showing 20cm with occasional spikes. It's hard to say what's wrong with the sonar, it could be something blocking it's beam or a wiring issues. It's slightly possible (but unlikely) that there's an issue with the ADC on your board (I guess you have an APM1).
The best thing (as you might have guessed) is to try a bunch of tests to identify where the problem is (apm or sonar). I guess removing the landing gear and testing the sonar using the CLI would be the first thing (go to the MP's terminal screen, then type "test", "sonar") and see if when you wave your quad around the distances change.
If that doesn't work then try disconnecting the signal line from the sonar and connect to a volt meter (hopefully you have one) and see if the voltage changes as you point the sonar at various targets at different distances. if the voltage doesn't change then the problem is likely the sonar is broken (althought this is very rare) or the power/ground voltage to the sonar is messed up. By the way, if your hearing is good you can actually hearing the click-click-click of the sonar.
If the volt read with the voltmeter does change then it's likely a problem with the APM. I'd then try applying a ground, then a voltage (i.e. GND or 5v from some other part of the APM) to the signal pin that the sonar is normally attached to and make sure the CLI test shows 20cm, then 700cm.
Anway, thats's probably enough steps to get started..
Ah, your Roll In vs Roll looks ok really...basically the green line is following the red line..the slight delay is totally expected as it takes a moment for the commands from the APM to get to the engines etc..
Hey Randy,
I'll take those suggestions and try them later today to see if it helps. I actually do hear the clicking of the sonar so I guess that means it is working. Perhaps it is off centre a pinch and the landing gear leg is messing with the values.
What do you think of mounting the sonar out under a motor to get it away from the gear? I presumed that it would be a bad idea due to EMI from the ESC to motor wires.
hey all,
I've got a large hex that I'm having trouble tuning. I've got rate_P at 0.04 and tried stabilize_P at 3.0 and 3.5 (couldn't tell a difference). I can't fly as much as I like, so my testing opportunities are few.
Is there an actual guide to tuning somewhere? I can find a sentence here or a snippet there, but no actual guide. There is a page of instructions on the wiki, but it doesn't seem to be all that helpful unless you've got a normal sized quad.
Besides the controllability issues, it seems to be confused about what level is. In this video clip, you can see about 10 seconds in and again about 2:15 in where the hex pitches back and flies toward me (I'm to the right of the camera) it's doing so with the stick neutral. I've ran the "level" calibration multiple times. Any clues?
log files attached below; sorry, forgot to get the params file before I left for the weekend.
here's another clip of it lifting 8lb of payload, for a GVW of just over 20lb / 9kg:
Jason, just going on the video it looks pretty stable to me. Likely its flying in ground wash affect if your below a meter which might be giving it the instability you see. Try some test flights above 1.5 to 2 meters. By the way, how heavy is it without pay load? I also see you have the batteries on the arms which might need different PID settings for good stability?

By: Linda Villarosa Posted: July 20 2012 12:19 AM 0 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images (The Root) -- On Monday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first pill to prevent HIV infection in adults who do not have the virus -- but are at risk of becoming infected. Studies have shown that Truvada, a little blue tablet taken once a day, can dramatically reduce transmission of the virus. This development, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, adds to a growing list of recent breakthrough medical strategies that reduce the spread of the disease. It also comes as a good-news curtain raiser to the International AIDS Conference, which kicks off in Washington, D.C., this weekend -- the first time on U.S. soil in more than 20 years. African Americans have been slammed by HIV since the beginning of the epidemic 30 years ago, and desperately need new ways to stop the virus. More of us are living with HIV/AIDS, newly infected or dying of the disease than any other ethnic group in this country. Of the 1.1 million Americans infected with HIV, 510,000 are black. Still, as HIV advocates across the country called the FDA approval of Truvada for prevention "historic," "groundbreaking" and "lifesaving," African-American activists reacted with much more guarded optimism and a healthy dose of caution. "Yes, this is an important advancement for African Americans and gives us another prevention option," says Ronald Johnson, vice president of policy and advocacy at AIDS United in Washington, D.C. "But it's not a magic bullet. This isn't something that you can take every once in a while when you're going out. It does not replace safer sex and must be used in conjunction with consistent practices, including condom usage. " Phill Wilson, president and CEO of the Black AIDS Institute, is more blunt. "The FDA got this one right, but here's what I'm worried about," he said in a statement. "We do not know if our community will embrace this new tool. Will we get the information that will allow us to learn what PrEP is and what PrEP is not, who should be taking it and who should not, where to find it and how to use it?" Even with these caveats, Wilson and other activists hope the medication can provide added protection for the two groups most at risk of contracting the virus in the U.S.: heterosexual black women and black gay and bisexual men. Of all the women living with HIV in this country, approximately 66 percent are African American. In fact, one out of every 32 black women will be diagnosed with HIV infection during her lifetime -- a rate higher than in many African countries. The vast majority of these women become infected with HIV by having unprotected sex with a man, often in what they consider to be a "committed relationship." Truvada may also slow the spread of HIV among black gay and bisexual men. According to a new report released this week by the Black AIDS Institute, black gay and bisexual men make up nearly one in four new HIV infections, though they account for only one in 500 people living in the U.S. By the time a black gay man reaches age 25, he stands a roughly 1-in-4 chance of being infected with HIV. "For the most at-risk population on the planet -- black gay and bisexual men -- this approval is not a moment too soon," says Wilson. The challenge will be reaching them. Many have been driven away from health care and other services by negative experiences and are isolated from family and other support because of homophobia. "We now need to find a way to deliver this drug to where they are," Wilson adds. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Two University of Colorado faculty members have received prestigious National Science Foundation Early Career Development, or CAREER awards.
A half-billion years ago, vertebrates lacked the ability to chew their food. They did not have jaws. Instead, their heads consisted of a flexible, fused basket of cartilage.
University of Colorado at Boulder undergraduates, who have been helping to control five NASA satellites from campus, participated in the unusual decommissioning of a functioning satellite with a failed science payload in recent days, bringing the craft into Earth re-entry to burn up yesterday.
Large changes in the sun's energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth's outer atmosphere, new research indicates. A study published today links a recent, temporary shrinking of a high atmospheric layer with a sharp drop in the sun's ultraviolet radiation levels.
While the common perception of asteroids is that they are giant rocks lumbering about in orbit, a new study shows they actually are constantly changing "little worlds" that can give birth to smaller asteroids that split off to start their own lives as they circle around the sun.
A new study of the High Arctic climate roughly 50 million years ago led by the University of Colorado at Boulder helps to explain how ancient alligators and giant tortoises were able to thrive on Ellesmere Island well above the Arctic Circle, even as they endured six months of darkness each year.
A thick blanket of yellow haze hovering over Houston as a result of chemical pollution produced by manufacturing petroleum products may be getting a little bit thinner, according to a new study.
An international science team involving the University of Colorado at Boulder that is working on the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling project hit bedrock July 27 after two summers of work, drilling down more than 1.5 miles in an effort to help assess the risks of abrupt future climate change on Earth.
A new study examining death sentences in North Carolina over a 28-year period ending in 2007 shows that among similar homicides, the odds of a death sentence for those who are suspected of killing whites are approximately three times higher than the odds of a death sentence for those suspected of killing blacks.
Forest fires that have burned thousands of acres near Durango over the last several years may be responsible for unlocking the mercury trapped beneath the soil in the San Juan National Forest and allowing it to wash into Vallecito Reservoir northeast of Durango, according to preliminary findings by a University of Colorado at Boulder engineering professor.
