If you've been following along closely in the media -- and we'd be kind of shocked if you failed to notice especially given that eyebrow raising Entertainment Weekly cover -- you know or have heard countless times that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway spend a lot of time naked in Ed Zwick's dram-com "Love And Other Drugs." Loosely based on Jamie Reidy's memoir "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman," Zwick's "Love And Other Drugs," tells the story of a fledgling relationship as it plays out against the pharmaceutical boom of the 1990s. Hathaway plays Maggie whose uninhibited sexual appetite and free-spiritedness come head to head with Jamie, a cocky, self-assured Pfizer sales rep. His world is thrown for a curve twice over -- he finds out the beautiful Maggie is stricken with first stage Parkinson's and moreover, he's falling madly in love with her. What follows is an intriguing story about two young, lively singles who have love as the last thing on their minds but find that their fucking-for-sport relationship takes on a dimension far beyond the physical.
We sat down one on one with Ed Zwick late last week and he told us about his dislike for the Oscars as sport, what attracted him to non-epic material, and finally, tapping his TV-centric sensibilities for the big screen. But we also attended several press conferences and Q&As with Zwick, Gyllenhaal and Hathaway and here's seven things we learned about the making of "Love And Other Drugs."
Cast & Directors Talk Love, Sex, Intimacy, Bonds & More
1. Anne Hathaway was initially disinterested in the role and had to be convinced.
"It took her a little while to decide whether she wanted to play the part, because she said the [her] character, the love interest the movie portrayed was too simple for her at first," Gyllenhaal said, a sentiment that Zwick also echoed. "It wasn't fully reading, living and breathing for her and she's had enough experience to say 'Well I'm going to give you some ideas and if you're up for that then I'll play the part. As a result, I think her character, -- who you meet yet you don't know her parents, you don't know where she comes from, you know very little about her -- you know everything about her when she first comes in."
2. Jake Gyllenhaal cried when he first read the script.
"I will say this with, like, absolute honesty," he said. "I think that the moment that I read the first 10 pages of the script, I was just like, "That was it." And when I got to the end I was
like "Okay." I was crying, you know, from the moment I read it."
3. Gyllenhaal and Hathaway's "Brokeback Mountain" sex scenes meant they already had a sense of mutual trust when it came to filming the many intimate scenes here
"[The nude scenes made us] vulnerable, but we all really supported each other and I felt so supported by these two men," Hathaway said. "So if there was vulnerability, it was tempered by love and support, and every time you act, it's vulnerable if you're telling a love story, if you're taking your clothes off, if you're making a comedy, it's all kind of putting yourself out there for people to hopefully enjoy. But with 'Brokeback Mountain,' I think it just established that we had chemistry and that Jake was someone I really enjoyed spending time with, and I think we really bonded over that experience."
4. Being naked was just natural for these characters and wasn't meant to be a "thing."
Well one of the things that we talked about was the fact that when you're in the early throws of passion and lust and love, you spend a lot of time unclothed," Hathaway said. "And the beginning of our characters relationship is in that moment and then, obviously we go to a deeper place of love and companionship and intimacy. It's so funny, [Jake] said the intimate scenes usually go quick, I think there are many different definitions for intimacy, I would say the sex scenes go quick, but the thing that makes our scenes intimate is the fact that we stay in it for so long, and I don't know, I haven't gotten a complaint so far."
5. Ed Zwick getting naked in a moment of solidarity did not help Jake Gyllenhaal out.
"No, it didn't help me at all," Gyllenhaal laughed. "I wish we were shooting some kind of horror film and it could have been used as a close-up. It terrified me, I was terrified! I wasn't for a moment comfortable and he was so eager to do it! I'm sorry to ruin your impeccable reputation, Ed."
6. Anne Hathaway pushed for her character to be carnal.
"[When Anne wanted to change things in the script] it had to do in a larger degree with her sexuality, to understand that, that this character who was doomed, and whose youth and beauty would be fading more quickly even then it will fade in all of us was compensating. For her to own her sexuality which was a wonderful thing to do was also a means of not coming into it, one way of keeping people at bay. There's there's a wonderful French expression that says, kisses are also invented for shutting them out. And, and you know that was a wonderful contribution on her part to recognize that."
7. Both actors did their respective homework. Deep Throat sources came to Gyllenhaal.
"I got a lot help getting started, particularly on Parkinson's disease," Hathaway said. "That turned me on to the American Parkinson's Association and they were instrumental in putting me in touch with a few people who had been diagnosed around the age that my character had been diagnosed. One of those was actually in the film — Lucy, the woman at the Parkinson's convention, the dark-haired woman who's incredibly funny. She was one of the key people who I talked to and she had a big impact."
By contrast, Gyllenhaal says "I would go online and look things up and only find weird YouTube videos of girls in bikinis in Ferraris saying, "become a pharmaceutical sales rep" with like weird Europop behind it. And then I started asking my own doctors and my grandfather happens to be a doctor and he was like, 'Whaddaya mean, detail men?' cause that's what they were called. And so I started meeting people and not all people from Pfizer, it was really hard to get inside Pfizer. And then Ed – before we started shooting, weirdly -- found this diamond in the rough which was on the Pfizer website they have the descriptions of every single one of their drugs and side effects and reactions, anything you need, the chemical make-up. And I would highlight things and memorize them and Ed would have me spew them randomly in between takes to people who were cast as doctors. And then I would find that people would come to me and randomly, as if it were some big secret and be like, 'Hey my brother is a pharmaceutical rep for Pfzier and he wanted to give you this' and he would hand me a pamphlet that only the reps get and it slowly started to open up. But I talked with a dozen pharmaceutical reps and they all came from my own doctors."
And certainly, the research paid off. Both actors are at the top of their game in "Love And Other Drugs" and you can check it out when it opens tomorrow, Wednesday, November 24. Read our early review from CMJ.

Clemson University's Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies is identifying new uses for optical fibers in the medical field and others. (Photo/Provided)
By Liz Segrist
Published Jan. 9, 2012
Optical fiber technology and its many applications can be a source of economic growth for South Carolina.
Around 100 photonics-based companies already are creating an industry cluster that stretches across the Carolinas.
"It's an industry with tremendous growth potential for our region," said John Ballato, a Clemson University materials science and engineering professor. "The expanding market for optical fiber and other photonics-related technologies offers numerous possibilities for new high-paying and homegrown jobs."

"Light in some ways has a publicity problem because it can become so ubiquitous that we forgot how we use it," Ballato said.
Regional industry
North and South Carolina have more than 100 photonics-based companies, with about a fourth of them in South Carolina. The majority are near the Research Triangle Park and Charlotte in North Carolina.
"Between Atlanta and Charlotte, there's a huge fiber optic community all along this corridor of I-85," said Duane Dinkel, president of OpTek Systems in Greenville.
North Carolina is about 30 years ahead of the game for the optical fiber industry compared to South Carolina.
"South Carolina is fairly new in some ways to this," Ballato said.
North Carolina's head start therefore increased the amount of jobs within the state, fueled in part by the universities in the state. Clemson University and the University of South Carolina are following suit with research in the field.
South Carolina has unique capabilities with people, labs, universities and equipment, and Ballato believes it will drive the growth of companies and jobs in South Carolina over time.
The optical fiber industry can be seen as a regional strength and marketed that way, rather than a competition between states.
"All of the optical fiber work in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia is complementary," Ballato said. "We have enough competition fighting with other countries; we don't need fighting across counties or state lines."
Technology applications
Optical fiber technology can be used to increase efficiencies in overhead lighting or to improve cars' energy consumption. Automotive companies can benefit by increasing precision of welding production processes. The military benefits by using lasers or lights from optical fiber technology to sense biological or chemical agents nearby or to shoot down missiles.
"Whether you're talking offensively or defensively, it can be done optically so people don't have to be there," said Ballato, the director of Clemson's COMSET, or the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies, where he performs research on optical fibers.
The use of it for medical applications during surgery and therapy continues to grow. Optical fiber technology enables less invasive versions of more traditional methods. Surgeons can now use a fiber the size of a hair to cut a tumor out with a laser, for example.
"The science of light plays an increasingly important role in the way we live," Ballato said. "Optical fiber is the enabling technology behind modern communications and is finding growing use in medical, sensing and defense systems."
OpTek Systems of Greenville uses the technology for guidance systems and temperate systems for military applications; catheters and probes for medical applications; and daily uses for the telecommunications market.
Optic fiber companies tend to cluster, Ballato said, with most of the S.C. companies along the I-85 corridor in the Upstate.
AFL of Spartanburg, a subsidiary of Fujikura, is one such company. As a worldwide fiber cable manufacturer, AFL provides products and services to the electric utility, broadband, communications, OEM, enterprise, wireless and transit rail markets, as well as the emerging markets of oil and gas, mining, nuclear, avionics, medical, renewable and intelligent grids.
Dinkel began operations in Greenville five years ago and has hired 12 employees. OpTek Systems found the available engineering resources in and around Greenville appealing, as well as the labor, cost of living, international access and close proximity to the airport for shipping.
OpTek Systems, with facilities in China and the UK, builds high-powered laser systems used for material processing. It serves the solar energy markets, electronic devices, laser processes and optical fiber, as well as the manufacturing of optical fiber for use in machines.
Another Upstate example is Tetramer Technologies. Founded in 2011 as a COMSET spin-off, it makes a variety of optical and non-optical materials. It began as a startup company commercializing high-value optical polymer research activities at Clemson University and now has 26 employees in Pendleton.
Workforce education
South Carolina needs more engineers, physicists, and technicians for the industry, Dinkel said. Applicants with good hand-eye coordination, the ability to work in clean-room environments and the ability to work under magnification for extended areas of time are preferred.
Tri-County Technical College established additional fiber optics training courses this fall as the demand for certified technicians increased across the Upstate. Tri-County Technical College's Corporate and Community Education Division, in association with BDI Datalynk, hosted the series of training sessions.
Students had the option to become certified fiber optics technicians; certified fiber optics specialists in testing and maintenance; or certified fiber optics specialists in splicing, which focuses on mechanical and fusion splicing of fiber optics networks.
Bob Ballard, owner of BDI Data Lynk, which partnered for the Tri-County training, said demand increased as opportunity within the industry increased. The telecommunications industry in particular requires fiber optic cable because of bandwidth.
Ballard, an instructor for the certification courses, said this will only continue to grow and students getting certified increase their chances of employment within the industry.
As director of COMSET, Ballato oversees interdisciplinary research conducted by more than two dozen faculty from five Clemson departments. COMSET's focus is the science and engineering of light and the development of advanced materials, devices, and systems that generate, transmit, manipulate and utilize light.
Ballato said the most distinctive COMSET research is seen in optical fiber capabilities that can be applied to industrial, manufacturing and commercial arenas. He wants to keep students interested in this field throughout college, as well as in early education.
"I try to keep the pipeline populated," Ballato said. "It's in the industry's best interest that we continue to have the workforce trained in this industry. We don't want the work to slow."
Ballato said in his experience students are interested in receiving an education for the optical fiber industry, but often leave the state for their careers. The support from the Upstate SC Alliance and the S.C. Department of Commerce helps to recruit companies for these students to begin putting their education to use in the field.
Ballato was recently named a fellow of the Optical Society of America, an academic and trade association for optics and photonics.

May 25, 2016
Tallahassee, Florida--
Leon County Commissioners took up the issue of Animal Control tonight at their meeting.
They discussed a proposed ordinance to keep animals from bad people, and keep people safe from bad animals. One of the most highly debated topics was tethering, or keeping your dog chained up.
Tula Motta is a volunteer for the Boxer Aid and Rescue Coalition. She said, "Dogs in that position, they can hang themselves, they can become aggressive. They become a safety hazard to the community. We know that dogs that aren't socialized are three times more likely to attack another person."
People shared their opinions at the meeting for more than an hour.
Many people talked about the animal cruelty case we covered in Wakulla County. The Ordinance passed with a stipulation that staff will continue to monitor the changes and report back to the commission.

5 construction tips that defeat the drips
Building for the great outdoors calls for a little extra thought at the design and assembly stages. Here are five things you can do to keep your project from falling prey to the rain.
Build to shed water
Birdbaths and planters should catch rainwater; your patio table should not. Instead of edge-joining lumber for a large, flat tabletop, leave 1/8" gaps between each piece. The gaps allow rain to drain, and let the wood move. Likewise, leave the spaces between slats open so water falls through, or caulk to prevent trapped water.

Our New York Car Insurance Will Always Remain Affordable No Matter How High Gas Prices Rise!
Are you cringing every time you see the gas prices rise? This is a sentiment the entire nation is feeling, but there are still ways you can save on costs related to your car. Your primary concern should be the protection of your family both on and off the road. By teaching safe practices and always wearing a seatbelt, you can help prevent serious accidents. However, in case the unpredictable arises, you need our New York car insurance by your side.
According to Main Street, gas prices are steadily on the rise, pushing the price of a gallon to $3.58, up 20 cents from a month ago. Each time you get gas for your car, the money you save will begin to dwindle. However, the following are some tips for spending less on gas:
Find the Cheapest Station
Usually when you see two or more gas stations in the same general area, their prices will be very similar. But Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor for car site Edmunds.com, says stations in different parts of town can have very different prices, so it pays to shop around. Reed recommends using a site such as GasBuddy, which tracks gas prices at stations in your area and has a free iPhone app.
Fill It Up With Regular, Please
Do you have a tendency to treat your car to premium gasoline at the pump? If so, you're probably wasting money. "There are a lot of cars that recommend premium gas, but they would run just fine on regular," Reed says. "If premium is required, then you have to put it in, but 'recommended' is the key word."
Drive More Efficiently
Arguably the best way to save on gas is to use less of it. There are a number of ways to accomplish this – when it comes time to buy a car you can, for instance, switch to a hybrid or electric vehicle that gets better mileage. But in the meantime, you can use less gas by simply driving like less of a maniac.
At The Clausen Agency, we know that navigating the road can be a difficult skill to master. With gas prices increasing, many are becoming more conscious of where they drive and how they are driving. Safety should always be number one on your list, which is why we can offer you the best New York car insurance around!
The risk exposures you face on the road are different from any others you will come across on a daily basis. Not everyone follows the rules of the road, but our policy will protect you from mishaps you may face. In addition, we offer discounts for those who own multiple cars, have a record of safe driving, have a family member in the military, and more. So don't hesitate, provide you family with the security they deserve through our New York car insurance!

Real talk. It's mad cold in New England. Not quite Minnesota-polar-vortex cold, but cold enough to make me think I can totally pull off sweatpants-chic right now. Yesterday was a snow day, and while I would have been perfectly content under a pile of blankets my kids – of course – wanted to go outside and play.
I did the whole "Go to the bathroom. Seriously, go now, because after I Velcro you in under eight layers of fabric, I reeeeeally don't want to hear 'Wait! I need to go to the bathroom!'" After that came the eight layers of clothing, then the snowsuits and the boots and the mittens and the hats, until they looked like three puffballs lined up in my living room. Overheating puffballs.
Oh right. Outside. After about ten minutes of making snow angels and building a really, really sad version of Olaf the Snowman, I suggested going inside, and my girls looked at me as if I had suggested that we run around the neighborhood and start slashing tires.
The cold. The wind. The wind chill. None of it fazed my toddler, preschooler, or kindergartner.
"I can't feel my face. You guys, I can't feel my face."
"How long before frostbite becomes a concern here?"
"Doesn't hot chocolate sound reeeeeally good right now?"
I'm no scientist or doctor or really expert in any field other than maybe heating up Pop-Tarts, now that I think about it, but how does this even work? When babies are born, we're supposed to wrap them in an extra layer because they're all tiny and wee and need the extra warmth. How is it that they hit 21 months, and I'm claiming hypothermia, but they look positively cozy knee deep in snow?
My littlest one totally smashed snow into her face, and still had no cares in the world.
Maybe the solution is that I need a full body snowsuit, too. Super hot, right? I'll check the latest issue of Glamour magazine to see if they're selling them at Nordstrom.

This is one party favor parents would never expect, but will certainly appreciate when their children return home from your child's birthday party and discover in their favor bags. The personalized luggage tags are sold individually and feature a sturdy laminated design that makes them resilient against standard wear and tear.
These tags are 3" x 4.125" and come with an attached 6" lanyard that can be securely fastened to any standard luggage bag. You can customize your order with tags that fit the personal interests of each of your birthday boy or girl's guests or get one theme to match the party. We have a huge selection of themes that will surely be perfect for any child. A few boy's themes we offer are space, medieval knights, and dinosaurs and a few girl's themes are kitty, fairytale, and princesses.
Each tag also features a reserved space to print custom text in a bold, bright font, so the guests will certainly enjoy finding one of these favors in their bags and seeing their names printed on it. This extra step in party supply catering will make a big difference. After the party, you will get phone calls from parents thanking you for providing such a practical favor, and they'll make sure to ask you where they can pick up similar party supplies for their child's birthday.

On this Labor Day let us remember that it is free labor that is to be honored. How is that to come about? By having a government that is "instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed," That ideal of legitimate consent and government can only be maintained by a clear and vigorous defense of its principles.
America is the hegemon in today's world, the acknowledged superpower. That rankles some, causes others to apologize, some others to fear, still others to breathe a sigh of relief. Commentators speak of America's disproportionate power, its global reach, its pervasive pop culture. Its detractors say America paternalistically tells other countries how to live, that she even violates other nation's sovereignty. In Obama's speech in Egypt in March, 2009 he said the Middle East's problems can be attributed to Colonialism, the Cold War, and Western decadence, coincidentally all products of the West. This was the ideological pretext for Obama's "apology" tour, and remains his position and that of the cultural Left.
But on the contrary, Americans like to think of themselves as exceptional, an "empire of liberty" in Jefferson's words. But others, in a less congratulatory tone, will say that we are self-absorbed, even infamous, and have run amuck in the world. That our sins are so egregious that we are actually dangerous, i.e. more a threat to the world than the likes of Saddam Hussein, Kim Jung Il, or even Hugo Chavez? Such were the sentiments of many on the eve of the liberation of Iraq and the years following it.
But the liberation of Iraq is exactly what the Iraq War accomplished. Sovereignty is no longer a guarantee in the modern globalized world. Even Secretary General of the United Nations Kofi Anan proclaimed that several policies of a nation like genocide, use of WMD, repeated aggression, and violations of the NPT will not insure that nation's sovereignty, but in fact endanger it. In other words, such violations of international norms can be used as a pretext to intervene militarily. However, ironically enough, the UN had little to do with the liberation of Iraq in 2003 and restoration of legitimate sovereignty. That role was left to the US and its allies. Thus Operation Iraqi Freedom was undertaken to restore legitimate sovereignty to Iraq and assert America's hegemony in the region.
America is the world's hegemon, that is clear, and though she stands heads and tails above all others, she shares a situation common to all; for we are all in the same boat – on the same ship of the international system, on the same sea of anarchy. It would do well for the "blame-America-firsters" to remember that. Anarchy is the defining condition of international relations – no clear over-arching authority to govern international politics. That state of affairs existed long before America came on the scene. To invoke a cliché: "the world is what it is". To paraphrase President Bartlett (a la the TV show The West Wing), "we live in a .357 magnum world".
But this is a reality that Obama seems unaware of. In June 2009 he said "No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons". Really? So should anybody have a personal sidearm? No. Children should not, nor felons and mentally disturbed people. So it is legitimate to discriminate between those who are responsible enough for the responsibility to possess guns as well as nuclear weapons. This is what maturity and leadership is supposed to help us figure out. In other words, what hegemony is supposed to mean in the international system. If America was to abnegate its leadership position in the world, then more instability arises, not less. What we don't want, but have in the White House, is "a .22 caliber mind in a .357 magnum world."
Now of course America is not without faults and has made mistakes. That doesn't make us especially egregious. It does, however, make us rather like everyone else in a sense. But one significant difference, among others, is that America's foibles are pretty much open to view. There is transparency -- look at Abu Ghraib and the election 2000 controversy. There is still respect for the rule of law, sanctity of a free press and freedom of speech.
However, if we are looking for naked, unrepentant violations of sovereignty, that do not meet the criteria stated by the UN, we need look no further than the former USSR, its usurpation of Eastern European countries after WWII and their constant subjugation until the USSR's demise in 1991. We need look no further than China with its invasion and occupation of Tibet. Is there any question that China would violate Taiwan's sovereignty without the presence in the Pacific of the US Seventh Fleet? Is there any question that North Korea would violate South Korea's sovereignty if the DMZ were not an armed camp backed up by the US Eighth Army? This is what "violation of sovereignty" really means and hegemonic leadership against it.
Could anyone call the post-WWII Marshal Plan and the rebuilding of Japan and Germany violations of sovereignty; or the allied zones of occupation in those countries, or the numerous reconstruction projects throughout the world in the last few decades?
From the "blame-America-firsters" perspective, what missed opportunities America had in its grasp at that time; a chance to show the world how to really violate sovereignty and gobble up vast swaths of territory. But we didn't. We must have been asleep at the wheel. But we weren't. Territorial aggrandizement is antithetical to liberal democracy. But the nay-sayers are unyielding. They say we are bungling fools undeserving of our global might and incompetent to wield hegemonic leadership. If America has an attention deficit disorder, as Niall Ferguson has said, it is the shallow memory of that which should make it proud.
After all, never mind the leadership shown in WWII, the leadership of the UN forces in the Korean War, the guidance and support during the Cold War, the leadership in resolving the Balkan crises, brokering a formal peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, and the leadership in coalition building in the first and second Gulf wars. America is the guarantor of the sovereignty of South Korea, of Taiwan, and even Japan. It is the nation that keeps the sea lanes open. Throughout the Cold War, NATO with America at its head guaranteed the sovereignty of Western Europe and Check-Point Charlie in Berlin was the tip of the spear.
Yes, America's influence is profound, but it is vastly inaccurate to say that its foreign policy violates other countries sovereignty or is a threat to world peace. Have there been abuses? Yes. Are they corrected? Yes. Should this conduct and transparency serve as an example for the world? It already does, but it rankles some; so let them be rankled.

I went out for a quick viewing session this evening after checking the forecast and saw that it was going to cloud up by 8pm local. So what was visible? Luna! Using my TEC-140 and 11mm Nagler Luna was framed nicely with a jet black background and very good detail. Then I noticed what looked like a rille just south of Mare Serenitatis. Later after charting this feature I discovered it was Rima Ariadaeus. Between Rima Ariadaeus and Mare Serenitatis was Crater Juilus Caesar. The rims of the crater showed lots of detail. I quickly moved up to Mare Serenitatis and was amazed at the number of craters and craterlets in this mare. I moved down to a 7mm Nagler and started counted. 1,2,3…33,34,35. It was very nice just to get out, but even nicer to have been able to see some lunar features I haven't observed before.

Dhwanienables information theoretically secure Near Field Communication (NFC) on existing mobile phones without requiring any special hardware or PKI infrastructure. It uses existing microphones and speakers on phones to perform acoustic NFC. It uses a novel self-jamming based physical layer security technique called SecureJam.

Near Field Communication (NFC)
Near-Field Communication (NFC) enables low data rate, bidirectional communication between devices within close proximity, usually within a few centimeters, in a peer-to-peer manner. The key advantage of NFC is that it eliminates the need for cumbersome network configuration efforts required to set up a communication channel using alternatives such as Bluetooth or WiFi. This is due to its inherent property of association by physical proximity --- if two devices can communicate using NFC, then it implies that they must be co-located. As an example, using an NFC enabled mobile phone, a user can make payments by simply bringing the phone close to a reader at the checkout counter, without having to first identify the reader or connect to it. Several NFC-based applications have been proposed or demonstrated, e.g., contact-less payment, access control, social networking, ticketing, museum services, etc. In many cases, NFC is used to automatically initiate and set up a high data rate communication channel such as WiFi or Bluetooth.
Present Day Challenges
NFC faces two key challenges today,
- Low adoption due to low levels of hardware penetration - 3-5% penetration in phones worldwide today. Only 5% Point of Sale terminals are NFC enabled.
- Lack of security -- No security in Phy-Mac layers. NFC is perceived as difficult to intercept due to close range. However, eavesdropping has been demonstrated using off-the-shelf devices from 1 m away.
Acoustic NFC
Almost all mobile phones have a speaker and a microphone. Dhwani implements an OFDM based acoustic Software Defined Radio (SDR) to transmit data. Acoustic NFC has to overcome several challenges inherent in the Acoustic domain,
- frequency selective speaker/microphone characteristics due to electromechanical conversion
- large multipath or echos
- ambient noise sources
Dhwani solves these problems in order to make acoustic NFC communication practical.
The basic idea of SecureJam is that the transmitter jams the incoming signal by transmitting a Psuedo Noise sequence in such a way that information theoretically, an eavesdropper cannot extract any information from the jammed signal. However, knowing the jamming signal, the receiver can perform self-interference cancelation and subtract the effects of its own jamming signal. Self-interference cancelation is especially difficult in the acoustic domain due to multipath and frequency selectivity. SecureJam leverages a property unique to acoustic communication -- the fact that most of the transformation between the transmitted signal and the received signal is in fact due to the static speaker and microphone characteristics.
