Fujitsu announces a new device that harvests solar and thermal energy - GREEN.BLORGE.com. Fujitsu has developed a single device that can be used to harvest energy from either light or heat. Previously, dual harvesting of energy could only be done by combining two different devices. Because Fujitsu has been able to create a single device that creates electricity from two different sources it will also be more economical to manufacture.
The company sees the main use of this device as a way to power medical devices and sensors. The company created an organic material that works as a generator for both photovoltaic and thermalelectric harvesting. Along with the organic material that works as a generator from both light and heat, Fujitsu also used two different semiconductor materials so that the electrical circuits could could change from one mode to the other. Since Fujitsu’s new device doubles the amount of energy that can be captured, it doesn’t have the disadvantages of solar or thermoelectric only devices.

Most Popular Free Mac Downloads of 2010. @nosnibort: I used to have a program called MacTheRipper, that was able to make lossless (as in no compression, big files) copies of movies.
It's since been discontinued but you should be able to find it with some effort. Handbrake really isn't that difficult, just read a tutorial. But MacTheRipper was dead simple. @nosnibort: You want RipIt. It will do what you want, which is primarily take the whole movie and get it to your hard drive in a singular format. The files are .dvdmedia (I think, not sure what that is) or the familiar folder structure (video_ts audio_ts) format that can be played in lots of media players and on Plex, Windows Media Center (with add ons), etc. To burn it, you need a DVD authoring tool, like Toast from Roxio (or whomever they are now). @nosnibort: I use Ripit to make an exact copy my DVD and then use Handbrake to extract the movie only, usually an mp4 file. @nosnibort: It's not free but I swear by RipIt. It's a great piece of software. [thelittleappfactory.com] READING LIST FOR THE QUALIFYING EXAMINATION IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Water, Meet Blood - JP Morgan Admits To, Reduces Massive Silver Short Position, Proves Millions Of Conspiracy Theorists Correct | zero hedge. In the latest example that virtually every conspiracy theory is almost always inevitably proven to be fact, the Financial Times reports that JP Morgan, the firm targeted by thousands of "tin foil hat" wearing, conspiratorially-oriented "gold bugs", has cut back on its US silver futures.
"JPMorgan has quietly reduced a large position in the US silver futures market which had been at the centre of a controversy about its impact on global prices for the precious metal. " And in what can only be considered an unprecedented victory for all those who have over the past year agitated to putting JP Morgan out of business, most recently spearheded by the likes of Mike Krieger and Max Keiser, by forcing a massive short squeeze on its commodities trading desk, we learn that "the decision by JPMorgan was an attempt to deflect public criticism of the bank’s dealings in silver, a person familiar with the matter said. From FT: A $16 pocket spectrum analyzer. ShmooCon was, once again, a fantastic experience this year.
One of many highlights of this year's event for me was hacking on some radio devices with Travis Goodspeed in the hotel bar for hours on end. This included playing with the IM-Me that he brought. As soon as I got home I ordered one. I found mine for $15.99 and free shipping on eBay. Since then I've written custom firmware to turn my IM-Me into a pocket spectrum analyzer, shown here displaying activity of a frequency hopping system at a grocery store.
The software tunes the IM-Me's radio chip to one frequency at a time, uses the chip's RSSI measurement function, and plots the result as one column on the LCD. The frequency ranges supported by my device are 281 - 361, 378 - 481, and 749 - 962 MHz. The software supports three bandwidth modes: wide (default), narrow, and ultrawide. The code is open and available here. The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment - Chapter One. Who Are We? We are equal beings and the universe is our relations with each other. The universe is made of one kind of entity: each one is alive, each determines the course of his own existence. That is really all you need to know to understand this book or write your own. Everything I say has its roots in that first paragraph, and it is possible to resolve any question by going back to it and thinking it through for yourself. The universe is made of one kind of whatever-it-is, which cannot be defined.
For our purpose, it isn't necessary to try to define it. All we need to do is assume that there is only one kind of whatever-it-is, and see if it leads to a reasonable explanation for the world as we know it. The basic function of each being is expanding and contracting. A completely expanded being is space. We experience expansion as awareness, comprehension, understanding, or whatever we wish to call it. When a being is totally contracted, he is a mass particle, completely imploded. DIASPORA*
