Kiwi Wifi - PLX Devices Inc - USA. SPARKvue for iOS. Projects :: hijack. HiJack is a hardware/software platform for creating cubic-inch sensor peripherals for the mobile phone. HiJack devices harvest power and use bandwidth from the mobile phone's headset interface. The HiJack platform enables a new class of small and cheap phone-centric sensor peripherals that support plug-and-play operation.
HiJack has been tested with the iPhone 3G/3GS/4G, iPod Touch, and iPad devices. Power. The HiJack energy harvester can supply 7.4 mW to a load with 47% power conversion efficiency when driven by a 22 kHz tone from the output from a single audio channel on the iPhone 3GS headset port, all using electronic components that cost just $2.34 in 10K volumes. We are exploring other approaches for achieving higher conversion efficiencies. Data. Sensing. iCelsius - Temperature Sensor for the iPad / iPhone / iPod touch.
Connect an iPhone/iPad to External Sensors with HiJack and techBASIC. Albuquerque, New Mexico (PRWEB) December 12, 2011 Now there’s an easy and powerful way to connect external devices to the iPhone/iPad using techBASIC and HiJack. techBASIC is a BASIC programming language that runs right on the iPhone/iPad. HiJack is an A-D converter that plugs into the headphone jack on the same devices. techBASIC makes it easy to manipulate data and plot the results from HiJack, creating a powerful tool to collect information from almost any external device without the need to write software first on a desktop computer. Scientists, engineers, students and hobbyists now have a way to connect the iPhone and iPad to the outside world, collect information and process it right on their iPhone or iPad.
The HiJack project from the University of Michigan, with participation from the University of Utah, created a hardware and software platform to do just that. HiJack is designed to create cubic inch peripherals that connect through the headphone jack on an iPhone or iPad.

Original text Contribute a better translation. Brain friendly technology: What is it? And why do we need it? Excerpted with permission from Technology Enhanced Learning and Cognition, edited By Itiel E. Dror, 1-7. London: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2011. Technology is so widespread and used that it is an integral part of people's lives and learning. However, too often technology is driving the development and its usage, and in many ways it is detached and even isolated from the human user.
Technology enhanced learning (TEL), should be built to maximize the learning for the learners. By setting up expectations, via consistency, the technology is guiding and helping the brain figure things out, and hence reducing cognitive load. Moving up to more complex ways of making eLearning more brain friendly is by having the technology do a lot of the work for the brain, and thus releasing cognitive resources. Using technology in such a brain friendly way helps the cognitive system learn. These were only illustrative examples of what brain friendly technology is, and why we need it.
Dr. College 2.0: Academics and Colleges Split Their Personalities for Social Media. By Jeffrey R. Young Christian Brady, an associate professor of classics and dean of the Schreyer Honors College at Pennsylvania State University, has created two Twitter accounts, one for personal comments and research (@targuman), and the other for his role as dean (@shcdean). Rosemary G. Feal, executive director of the Modern Language Association, recently experienced something of an identity crisis through her use of social media. Crashed on the couch at home one night, she sat watching the premiere of the PBS documentary Freedom Riders and tweeting her reactions to the film's footage of civil-rights activists in the 1960s.
After posting more than a dozen updates, she realized she was using the Twitter account she had set up for work, @mlaconvention, referring to the MLA's annual meeting, where she began using the microblogging service a few years ago. 'It's Not Schizophrenic' Deciding which account to post to is a matter of considering his audience, he says. Don't Be Creepy Kirsten A. Glogster – Poster Yourself | Text, Images, Music and Video.
