InstaLoad: A complete answer for your battery related issues.

Your mouse ceased working during an important online test? To restitute, you should replace the battery. The process by following the subprograms of + or - direction demands a large chunk of your time. Microsoft understands such situations and introduces InstaLoad™, a new technology for people like you.

An InstaLoad™ technology, designed batteries in a way that they can be positioned inside the device in direction irrespective of +ve or –ve sides. This technology will bring you into more convenience when you use an instrument that has multiple batteries or, your device calls for frequent switching of batteries. InstaLoad™ is very much relevant with machines, that get damaged with an wrong insertion of batteries. This technology is a better sales tool for battery controlled device manufacturers, as it extends an efficient customer experience. You can use InstaLoad™ technology with almost all types of batteries such as AA, AAA, C and D and other cylindrical form factor batteries either disposable or rechargeable, irrespective of its size.

Rather than having a complicated electronics, InstaLoad™ uses a mechanical contact design, with a positive and negative contacts at both the ends whereas other popular batteries engage a design with a single and opposing contact at each ends. The InstaLoad™ batteries can be an added benefit for products such as Portable lighting, flashlights, battery chargers, toys, consumer electronics, mice and keyboards, and all other battery operated devices.

If you want to have access to the use of the made out patent and patent applications and a detailed technical guide on the InstaLoad battery installation technology you can get it. Microsoft offers sensible licensing terms for this really valuable product. Once a company gets the Microsoft commercial license for the InstaLoad, it can use the InstaLoad Logo on the packaging and marketing materials of these batteries. 

Can you think of an Internet with100 fold speed?

Internet has simplified life by facilitating the world to become a small village, where we can have access to the life of from any part of the globe. What if this ‘accessing power’ becomes 1000 fold than it is today? Yes, life is easier now with the invention of a new network topology by a group of MIT researchers.

The new topology is proved to be delivering the Internet with a 100 or 1,000 times ‘accessing speed’. The core technology of internet lies in the span of high capacity optical fibers across the globe. The controlling routers cannot process optical signals of varying wavelength that come from different direction simultaneously, so they store these signals by converting them into electrical signals and vice versa after processing- a time consuming process.

 “Flow switching” the concept of MIT professor Vincent Chan found solution to save both time and energy. Chan’s technology emphasizes the idea of converting these fibers into unidirectional pathways. That means a single fiber will be carrying the signals of same wavelength and from the same direction, avoiding the queue of data from different direction. So, there may not be much traffic as well as saving of data and substantial saving of both time and energy.

The MIT has invested around 20 years for this invention. To implement the plan, it needs to replace large numbers of routers with new, optical-only models, which can prove to be very pricey. But it can be an addition for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Mozilla introduces Firefox 3.6.4 with Craft Protection

Mozilla Corporation, the producer of Mozilla Firefox, the free and open source browser announced the release of Firefox 3.6.4, the most novel edition of the popular web browser. Even though the company kept the entire world waiting it for quite a long time, the final product came out with a very big addition in the security part. The new version protects the browser from crashing due to third-party plugins, particularly Adobe Flash.

The modified version of the browser, that is available with dozens of glitch fixes and stability upgrades is again free and can be downloaded from the website of Mozilla. Firefox crash protection is the most attractive factor that will entice an average user of the browser. This crash protection is an outstanding characteristic of Google Chrome as well.

This innovative engineering of crash protection employs out-of-process plugins technology to execute third-party add-ins such as Flash, QuickTime, and Silver light in a freestanding process. Till the previous version of Firefox, a plugin crash could let down the total browser software, where as now, with the addition of crash protection, the browser will keep executing till disabling the plugins and the websites controlling it. After providing the complete protection, the browser will only demand you to restart or refresh the plugins.

The most flexible browser with a crash protection is available only for Windows, and Linux operating systems users. Mac OSX users should wait for a little bit longer to have access to this crash protection. The Mozilla Corporation promises it to be accessible for Mac users in Firefox 4, which is expected to have a debut by the end of the year. The company states that the Firefox program necessitates major alterations, to make it suitable to work in the Mac OSX. This can be a preparing period for apple software.

Robonaut

Robonaut is a project intentional to create a humanoid robot which can function as an equivalent to humans during extra-vehicular activity in space such as ‘space walks’. When social experts are exploring the question of ethics and behavior of Robots, the science move further to develop robots as a good companion for human beings, who can help us in dangerous tasks.  Encyclopedia Britannica defines a robot as "any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner". The developments in the robotic science made physically anthropomorphic robots. We expected them to do, and so programmed them to do all those hazardous jobs which are dangerous for human life and health. So the frequency of ‘robots in action’ was very high in fields such as medical and automotive.  They are found to be very much useful in Space explorations also.
The current space faring robots are mainly programmed to move large objects, like a crane. But the recent innovations of scientists in NASA are giving more concentration on the formulation of robots that are more flexible and can involve skillful physical movements especially with the hands. The scientists expect them to work along-side astronauts, rather than just obeying their instructions. The appointed robonaut project has been launched by NASA in its Dextrous Robotics Laboratory at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. NASA, along with many partners that include DARPA, gave life to the first series of Robonauts (R1A and R1B). Since 2007, NASA is working together with General Motors, for the next series of Robonauts- R2A and R2B.
R2 or Robonaut2, currently a prototype will be getting in its full-fledged form to be tested "in-doors" on STS-133 targeted for launch 16 September 2010 to the ISS, international space station. R2 will be the first human-like robot to space and will be a permanent resident of the International Space Station .The previous series of Robonaut was to be work as an end-effector for the robotic arm on the International Space Station. R1 was a substitute to human extravehicular activity such as external maintenance on the station. The leading edge control, sensor and vision technologies are expected to help the future robots to assist astronauts to undertake hazardous space missions. The new prototype R2 is adequate to move its arms up to 2 m/s and holds a 40 lb payload capacity. Each hands of R2 have a grasping force of around 5 lbs per finger. More than 350 numbers of sensors are used to create R2.

R2 will get provided with important intermediate environment, during its testing inside the destiny laboratory of International Space Station. The Robonaut will be subjected to undergo tests with microgravity and station's radiation and electromagnetic interference environments. The operations within the station will make R2 to perform better as a Robot who can work side-by-side with astronauts. The astronauts will be provided with enough tools to upgrade the R2 with both hardware and software while it is in the station operations. So, new tasks and new needs will become familiar for R2 with the help of astronauts. Currently R2 is going through extensive testing to make it prepare for the flight. The tests of Vibration, vacuum and radiation testing along with other procedures are also being conducted on it to make it suitable for both earth and space operations. General Motors prepares itself to use the technologies from R2 in future advanced vehicle safety systems and manufacturing plant applications.
.

The current prototype has a weight of 300-pounds and comprises of a head and a torso with two arms and two hands. R2 will be tested for its operations in weightlessness, once aboard the station by the astronauts. The Robonaut is confined to operate within the Destiny laboratory of the ISS. When launched, R2 will be enclosed within the station; it will get allocated with the work outside the station with future enhancements and modifications. R2 is a dream come true for science and a beginning of the future generation of robots, both in space and on earth. General Motors is planning to use R2 to build safer cars and plants. Both in earth and space, R2 will undertake roles as companions of human beings, unlike the previous robotic role as ‘replacements’. Once installed in its proper way R2 will take in charge of key supporting roles within the station.

General Motors also aims a lot on the research going on to create R2. Their expectation on R2 was evident in the words of Alan Taub, vice president of GM's global research and development, when he said "The extreme levels of testing R2 has undergone as it prepares to venture to the International Space Station are on par with the validation our vehicles and components go through on the path to production,".  "The work done by GM and NASA engineers also will help us validate manufacturing technologies that will improve the health and safety of our GM team members at our manufacturing plants throughout the world. Partnerships between organizations such as GM and NASA help ensure space exploration, road travel and manufacturing can become even safer in the future”, he added.

The comments on the project by the leaders of the company itself are witnessing the effectiveness of R2.  John Olson, director of NASA’s Exploration Systems Integration Office said today that “This project exemplifies the promise that a future generation of robots can have both in space and on Earth, not as replacements for humans but as companions that can carry out key supporting roles. The combined potential of humans and robots is a perfect example of the sum equaling more than the parts. It will allow us to go farther and achieve more than we can probably even imagine today.”  Doug Cooke, associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate commented that
"This cutting-edge robotics technology holds great promise, not only for NASA, but also for the nation,"  As NASA and General Motors are pursuing it, let’s wait and see what miracle an R2 brings into the future of the mankind.
