Computer Vision System Detects Foreign Objects In Processed Poultry An
Although metal detectors help commercial food processors keep metal fragments from ending up in finished products, these detectors can't identify plastic and other foreign objects. And as plastic becomes more widespread, used in everything from conveyor belts to latex gloves, plastic contamination is a growing concern for many food processing operations. For the past year, John Stewart, a research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, has been leading a development team in building a computer-vision system that identifies plastic and other unwanted elements in finished food products. Anti-Rollover Tech Required
The federal government wants all vehicles to have stability control technology by 2012, and bless 'em for forcing the change. In Autopia. Washington's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy
This document outlines the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's "management framework for the protection of Washington [state]'s species and habitats in greatest need of conservation."Topics covered include water quality, salmon recovery, forest conservation, agriculture and livestock, species of concern in the state, and related areas. Includes background, information about Washington state's "ecoregions,"a glossary, and a list of acronyms. More Insight Into Alzheimer's Disease With Discovery Of Possible Cause
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine discovered that when a molecule responsible for dialing down the immune system malfunctions in the brain cells of mice, the rodents develop symptoms of the degenerative brain disease. MIT Researcher Presents New View Of How The Cortex Forms
How does the cortex, the brain's executive in charge of high-level thinking and planning, go from a uniform blob of brain matter to well-defined areas with specific sensing, cognition and movement tasks? JitterBugs Could Turn Your Computer Keyboard Against You, Warn Enginee
Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania warn against an entirely new threat to computer security: bugs implanted in peripheral devices, such as keyboards or mice. This new class of devices could covertly transmit data across an existing network connection without the user's knowledge. They are named "JitterBugs,"for both the way they transmit stolen data in "jittery"chunks and for the "jitters"they could inspire in anyone with secure data to safeguard. Optical Innovator Uses Soda-straw-like Tubes To Solve Widespread Sensi
Sending weak beams of light through inexpensive glass tubes that resemble soda straws, Sandia National Laboratories researcher Jonathan Weiss -- dubbed by some the "light wizard"-- can inexpensively solve problems ranging from the migration of waste through a landfill to detecting when an automobile battery soon will be too weak to start a car. New Allergy Vaccine Provides Long-lasting Hay Fever Relief After Just
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have successfully used an experimental DNA-based vaccine to protect against ragweed allergies, commonly known as hay fever, after just six injections. Patients receiving the vaccine showed an average 60 percent reduction in allergy symptoms compared to those receiving a placebo. Novel Approach For Rapid Identification And Development Of Malaria Vac
Malaria is the world?s most frequent parasitic disease, affecting more than 100 countries in the tropical zones, mostly in Africa, and 40% of the world population, with more than a million deaths per year. The development of a vaccine constitutes a major scientific and health challenge. Recent research has established a novel approach for the rapid discovery and development of vaccine candidates. Avian Flu Virus Unlikely To Spread Through Water Systems
Cornell researchers studied a virus related to the avian influenza virus to see whether a hypothetical mutated form of H5N1 could infect people through drinking and wastewater systems.
