Sync Your Data without the Cloud

A piece of hardware called Somniloquy is the reason this system works. The USB device, which acts like a smarter version of an ordinary network card that connects a computer to the Internet, can wake a sleeping computer and retrieve data from it before powering it back down. It has its own low-power processor and a few gigabytes of storage to cache files sent its way while a computer wakes up.

Fixing Gnuplot on OS X 10.6.X and 10.7.X

 

The solution, though, is easy to understand and easy to implement:

1. Open /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot in your favorite text editor. This is a shell script that sets up several environment variables and runs the Gnuplot binary.
2. Find all instances of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in that script and replace them with DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.
3. Save the edited script.

MinION: a miniaturised sensing

MinION is a disposable device that contains a sensor chip, ASIC and the fluidics system that are needed to perform a complete single molecule sensing experiment. Plugging directly into a laptop or desktop computer through a USB port, it is a self contained device to deliver real time experimental data. 

The MinION is adaptable for DNA sequencing, protein sensing and other nanopore sensing techniques.

LUFA (2012)

LUFA (Lightweight USB Framework for AVRs, formerly known as MyUSB) is my first foray into the world of USB. It is an open-source complete USB stack for the USB-enabled Atmel AVR8 and (some of the) AVR32 microcontroller series, released under the permissive MIT License (see documentation or project source for full license details). The complete line of Atmel USB AVRs and USB AVR boards are supported by the library, as are any custom user boards, via custom board hardware drivers supplied by the user.

Android USB Host + Arduino: How to communicate without rooting your Android Tablet or Phone

This example consists of two parts:

• The Android application that makes use of the USB API
  A simple Android app that let’s you regulate the brightness of an LED on the Arduino using a slider. It also features a button to “enumerate” the USB device.
• Firmware for the Arduino that does some serial I/O with the Android app
  Very basic firmware for the Arduino. An interrupt is generated when a new byte is received. The received data controls the brightness of the Arduino’s on-board LED.
  (implemented via usleep-style software pwm in the main loop).

iRobot Goes to the Hospital

iRobot Corp., makers of the beloved Roomba (and a lot more), announced that it would be investing $6 million in InTouch Health, a telemedicine company operating in 80 hospitals around the world. Though $6 million represents just a minority stake in the company, it’s--needless to say--a substantial investment, and a strong expansion of a joint development and licensing agreement the two companies had announced last summer.

An Intro to Ensemble Learning in R

To create our initial ensemble, we will use the linear model, and a random forest. A random forest can be a powerful learning technique. It creates multiple decision trees from randomized sets of predictors and observations. It will be less useful here, as we only have three predictors, but will still illustrate the general point.

Accurately Measuring Temperature Using PSoC3/PSoC5

The PSoC Creator Component solves one part of the puzzle: converting the measured resistance accurately to temperature. The bigger part is finding the resistance accurately. AN70698 discusses the pros and cons of some circuits commonly used for measuring resistance and describes a method (shown below) where the resistance can be measured accurately using PSoC3/PSoC5 s IDAC, 20-bit delta sigma ADC and one precise external resistance.

蔡英文敗選感言：下一次我們要走完最後一里路

對於今天2012年總統選舉的結果，我們承認敗選，也願意接受台灣人民在這次選舉裡面所做的決定，並向大家致上最深的歉意。我們恭喜馬總統。希望他在往後四年，要傾聽人民的聲音，要用心執政，要公平的照顧每一個人民，千萬不要辜負人民的期待。

我知道此刻大家的心情。今天，我相信有很多人原本期待勝利，但是，現實不盡如人意。但是，我們要堅強，我們一定要比誰都堅強。我們是民進黨，我們過去在面對挫折的時候，我們從來沒有倒下過。以前不會，這一次也一定不會。

四年前，我們曾經是這麼的絕望，但是，我們咬著牙，整個黨團結在一起，在這四年，一步一步的往前走。

這樣的結果很遺憾，但我們不是一無所有：我們對小額募款的堅持，樹立了新的政治典範。我們提出的政策主張，在台灣未來的發展中，依然扮演關鍵的力量。

雖然我們未來沒有辦法執政，來實踐理想；但不代表在野就沒有力量。台灣不能沒有反對的聲音、不能沒有制衡的力量。我相信，只要大家繼續站在我們身後，給我們支持，給我們鞭策，我們一定還有未來！下一次，我們一定可以走完最後一哩路！

民進黨的轉型跟改革，不會停止。我們堅持和弱勢人民站在一起，我們堅持政策理性，我們堅持以小額募款擺脫對財團的依賴。我們會一直做下去，總有一天，我們會贏得多數人民的信任，這條路比我們想像得更漫長，我們還可以做得更好。面對今天的結果，民進黨會認真的做檢討，會把它當作警惕。

敗選的責任，由我一肩扛起來。我宣布辭去民主進步黨的黨主席。我相信，下一任的黨主席，一定會堅持，繼續堅持民進黨的改革轉型，帶領大家繼續走下去。

最後，蔡英文感謝大家一路相伴。這四年，是很美好的旅程，我們一起並肩作戰，在我的心中，你們不只是投票給我的人，你們是我最好的夥伴。

今晚，我相信大家都很難過。你可以哭泣，但不要洩氣。你可以悲傷，但是不要放棄。我們要像過去四年一樣勇敢並充滿著希望。因為，我們必須勇敢地扛起責任，我們必須繼續為台灣這塊土地打拼。無論我們在哪個位置上，這個國家，都需要我們繼續愛她、呵護她。

各位親愛的台灣人民，有一天，我們會再回來。在2012年的這一天，支持民進黨，支持蔡英文，我相信是一件驕傲的事。我們抬起頭，堅強勇敢的走下去。謝謝大家，我的心會永遠跟台灣人民站在一起

Device Brings $1,000 Genome Within Reach

At $149,000, the new machine is about three times the price of the Personal Genome Machine, the sequencer that the company debuted about a year ago. But the DNA-reading chip inside it is 1,000 times more powerful, according to Rothberg, allowing the device to sequence an entire human genome in a day for $1,000—a price the biotech industry has been working toward for years because it would bring the cost down to the level of a medical test.

日本最新研究發現：克流感容易讓感冒病毒出現抗藥性！

最近，日本的研究學者也發現，目前克流感的過度使用，已經使病毒的抗藥性提高，尤其是兒童病例。因此動不動就給小孩使用這類抗病毒藥物，極可能讓小孩日後罹患流感重症實無藥可用，提醒大家留意。

最後補充克流感可能引發的相關副作用，例如噁心、嘔吐、拉肚子、腹痛及頭痛，少數的人還會出現肝炎、肝指數升高、紅疹、皮膚反應甚至是嚴重的史蒂文‧強森這類嚴重甚至足以致命的自體免疫反應疾病。其他諸如毒性表皮壞死、心律不整、癲癇、意識模糊、糖尿病惡化以及出血性的結腸炎都有案例報告發表。

而對小孩來說，還有一類嚴重的副作用的發生率叫成人更容易出現，即精神症狀。這些案例出現最多的，就出現在抗流感被使用量極大的日本，約佔全世界用量的60％。

史上最成功募款 兩億多 小豬：「不會忘記人民期待」

【記者郭玉屏台北報導】民進黨三隻小豬，從去年十二月十號發出第一道回娘家召集令後，到昨〈六〉日總共回收十四萬三千隻小豬，總共獲得兩億一百二十萬的捐款。民進黨發言人林俊憲說，這是台灣史上最成功的小額募款運動。

蔡英文全國競選總部昨日召開「開心小豬、勝利成功」記者會，發言人林俊憲、鄭麗君表示，從12月10日發布「全國小豬召集令」至今，已有14萬3000隻小豬順利完成開心工程，而台灣人民省吃儉用，存到小豬撲滿的捐款已達到兩億零一百二十萬；人民透過一點一滴的捐款，表達他們對現任政府的失望以及對公平正義社會的渴望，因此小豬撲滿中的每一塊錢，都將投入對抗濫用國家機器輔選、對台灣社會不公不義的大野狼。

林俊憲說，去年10月9日在台一線的旅途上，台南一位阿公帶著三胞胎孫女，在晚會的舞台上送給蔡英文三隻小豬，希望蔡英文能帶領台灣，為下一個世代開創美好的未來，但這個小小的心願卻遭到監察院的打壓。因此，在10月25日起，民進黨發起「三隻小豬運動」，匯集全民的力量,打倒大野狼。

Augmented Reality with Processing [Tutorial, Processing]

CAN Augmented Reality Tutorial from Amnon Owed on Vimeo.

All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it’s open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. To do this in real-time NyArtoolkit uses markers – black and white images – to determine the three-dimensional position and orientation in the real world. Most likely you will have seen something like this before, but now you will learn how to do it yourself using freely available software.
