The Bird and The Train

Posted: 13 Dec 2010 04:05 AM PST

The distance between Station Atena and Station Barcena is 78 miles. A train starts from Atena towards Barcena. A bird starts at the same time from Barcena straight towards the moving train. On reaching the train, it instantaneously turns back and returns to Barcena. The bird makes these journeys from Barcena to the train and back to Barcena continuously till the train reaches Barcena. The bird finally returns to Barcena and rests. Calculate the total distance in miles the bird travels when the bird flies at 70 miles per hour and the speed of the train is 60 miles per hour.

Telensa’sPLANet system to manage Birmingham’s street lighting

Posted: 13 Dec 2010 03:21 AM PST

Cambridge, UK, 13th December 2010 – Telensa Ltd., the leader in the remote control and monitoring of street lighting, has announced that Amey has chosen its PLANet system to support the 25 year, £2.7bn Birmingham Highways maintenance and management service. Telensa's initial five-year contract is worth £4m.

The Highways partnership between Amey and Birmingham City Council is responsible for nearly 100,000 streetlights as well as roads, bridges and tunnels. PLANet will be used on all new and existing streetlights to control their switching and dimming; it will also monitor the performance of each light on a daily basis. From Amey's operations centre, Telensa'sPLANet system communicates with all the lights using advanced wireless technology.

"The centrally managed control and monitoring of all the Birmingham street lights presents an enormous opportunity to improve their operating efficiency and deliver better street lighting to the people of Birmingham," said Mike Notman, Amey Project Director for the Birmingham management and maintenance service. "The new LED street lights, in conjunction with Telensa'sPLANet system will be central in delivering the UK's most advanced and efficient street lighting network, saving about 40% energy compared to conventional street lighting."

Cllr Timothy Huxtable, Cabinet Member for Transportation and Regeneration, said: "As well as the significant environmental advantages of this work I have no doubt that the management of the LED street lights will also help to greatly improve the safety, security and the general environment of streets in the city."

"Amey's selection of the PLANet system is an important milestone in Telensa's emergence as leader in street lighting management", said Will Gibson, Telensa's Managing Director. "Amey have supported us over several years in the testing of the system and we are delighted to see it now being deployed at significant scale across Birmingham."

ToumazSensium Platform successfully monitors health of record-breaking Transantarctic

Posted: 13 Dec 2010 02:47 AM PST

Abingdon, United Kingdom, 13 December 2010 – Toumaz, the leading provider of ultra-low power wireless telemetry technologies for medical monitoring and internet-connected consumer devices, today announces that Sensium™-enabled devices are being used to monitor the health status of a team of explorers and scientists involved in a record-breaking expedition across the Antarctic. On Thursday 9th December 2010, the 10-man expedition team carried out the fastest ever vehicle crossing of the continent – the driest and coldest place on Earth – and aims to be the first vehicle-based team ever to complete the return journey.

The Moon Regan Transantarctic Expedition is using state-of-the-art technology to complete its record-breaking journey, including wireless Sensium-enabled vital signs monitors. The expedition is being partnered by scientists from Imperial College London and supported by main sponsor Imperial alumnus Professor Winston Wong Dsc, who has also helped to develop the technology.

The team is travelling in six-wheeled drive Science Support Vehicles (SSVs) – which function as mobile laboratories – and the Winston Wong Bio-Inspired Ice Vehicle that runs on bio-fuel and glides on skis. The research-led team have already achieved two new records by being the first to use biofuels extensively in Antarctica, and through being the first bio-fuelled vehicle ever to reach the South Pole. The researchers aim to collect data in several important areas, including measuring the body's response to the extreme environmental conditions using wireless body monitoring technology developed by expedition sponsor Toumaz and originally pioneered by its CEO Professor Chris Toumazou FRS. Professor Toumazou, who is also Director of the Winston Wong Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology at Imperial College London, is leading the science programme for the expedition.

The explorers are equipped with wearable Sensium-based devices that are wirelessly and continuously monitoring the physical effect on the body of the inhospitable minus 40 degree temperatures. Based on Toumaz'sSensium technology, these small sized, unobtrusive devices provide ultra-low power, continuous wireless monitoring and can be worn on the chest with complete freedom of movement. The devices are being used to capture and locally process key vital signs information from the team, including ECG, heart rate, physical activity and other markers of stress. The data is being transmitted in real-time to computers in the SSVs and data sets have been sent via satellite phone to researchers back at Imperial College London for further analysis, providing a unique insight into the physiological impact of life in the harshest environment on the planet. Ray Thompson, Senior Research Associate at the Winston Wong Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology at Imperial College London, confirmed that the devices are functioning well in the extreme conditions, and gave his experience of the trip so far: "Nothing can adequately prepare you for Antarctica. It's the coldest, windiest, driest place on Earth, and this year the conditions have been the worst for eighteen years. Temperatures have averaged minus 35 degrees since we began the crossing but add the wind-chill which is well into the minus 40s."

He continues: "This is the experience of a lifetime for mind and body and I feel hugely privileged to be here. And when you're standing at the bottom of the world at the South Pole, you think of the hardy men who travelled here almost 100 years ago without the benefit of our modern technology. What effect is the temperature, the hard work of keeping warm, the stress and the altitude having on my London born-and-bred body? It's going to be very interesting to see the results."

The expedition team set off from the west coast of Antarctica at Union Glacier on November 25th 2010 and arrived in the South Pole on December 2nd, retracing the steps of the famous Fuchs and Hillary crossing. The team completed their coast-to-coast crossing on December 9th at the Ross Ice Shelf and will now retrace their tracks to Union Glacier.

Commenting on the expedition's success so far, Toumaz CEO Professor Chris Toumazou said: "We are absolutely thrilled that the team has been able to accomplish these unique achievements in one of the most challenging environments on Earth. We are all looking forward to the expedition team arriving safely back from its record-breaking return journey and being able to analyse the previously unavailable data that has been collected. Sensium technology is revolutionising health monitoring and enabling a new depth of insight into physiological responses that simply wasn't possible before. Toumaz is delighted to be providing the core technology that is delivering these important research aims."

Toumaz'sSensium Platform is an ultra-low power technology platform that enables the rapid development of complete systems and devices for non-intrusive wireless vital signs monitoring solutions, including health, fitness and "out of hospital" applications.

Don't Use Internet Explorer To Browse CrazyEngineers

Use FireFox, Chrome, Opera Or Safari To Browse CE. Say NO to Internet Explorer.

Posted: 12 Dec 2010 08:48 PM PST

CEans,

When we upgraded CE nearly an year ago; we took a hard decision of not supporting Internet Explorer browser. We've found that Internet Explorer does not adhere to web standards and has remained a buggy software throughout its development.

The web has evolved and the web browsers have quickly adopted to the new Internet. Sadly, Microsoft's Internet Explorer has been a disappointing experience.

I strongly recommend all our members and guest visitors to use any of the modern browsers like "Firefox", "Google Chrome", "Apple Safari" or "Opera" to browse CE.
