In an effort to help eliminate the "Paper Weight" confusion problem, we have compiled the comprehensive table listed below.

Paper Weight - Conversion Chart

Now you can compare various types of paper and their "Equivalent Weights. " Definitions: Basis Weight The basis weight of a paper is the designated fixed weight of 500 sheets, measured in pounds, in that paper's basic sheet size. It is important to note that the "basic sheet size" is not the same for all types of paper.Caliper Caliper refers to the thickness of a sheet of paper expressed in thousandth of an inch. Corner Rounder 1/8" (3 mm) by Lybrary.com : Lybrary.com.

WiFi-Extending Robot

Published 2012/07/12. The beast above is a robotic system intended to be operated remotely in hazardous areas where network infrastructure is scarce. The robot is controlled over a WiFi network that originates on the robot and is extended by dropping the black repeater units on its back. I and seven other computer and electrical engineers built this monster as part of a senior design project at Northeastern University. Quick Overview Robot controlled over WiFi 40" long, 28" wide, 16" tall, about 150 lbs. For God's sake WHY? In the summer of 2011, we began what is known at Northeastern University as our Capstone design program. Our group thought that the need for a WiFi deployment system was high enough to justify further exploration, and eventually we hit upon the idea that we could also use a robot to deploy a network while doing reconnaissance, and that this robot could also be controlled over the network it was deploying.

S. Magor on Apr 25Rating: The Wi-Fi Predator is totally modded router that lets you grab free Internet from far away places and comes courtesy of the folks at i-Hacked. All it takes is a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router, a high-powered HyperLink 2.4GHz 14.5 Yagi Antenna, a tripod, some custom firmware and a little technical know-how to reconstruct, thanks to the thorough documentation efforts of the i-Hacked crew. On startup, the Predator begins scanning for open access points, testing them for Internet connectivity and determining the strongest signal.

To get the correct time I used a RTC Module (=Real Time Clock) with the common DS1307 integrated circuit. Hotel Key Hack. Bad news: With less than $50 of off-the-shelf hardware and a little bit of programming, it’s possible for a hacker to gain instant, untraceable access to millions of key card-protected hotel rooms. This hack was demonstrated by Cody Brocious, a Mozilla software developer, at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. At risk are four million hotel rooms secured by Onity programmable key card locks. According to Brocious, who should be scolded for not disclosing the hack to Onity before going public, there is no easy fix: There isn’t a firmware upgrade — if hotels want to secure their guests, every single lock will have to be changed.
