Basis could be more stable than regular currency using stabilizing algorithms
Al-Naji is the cofounder and CEO of Intangible Labs, whose forthcoming product Basis (formerly known as Basecoin), is a cryptocurrency designed to do just the opposite of what Bitcoin has done: The price of a Basis coin is meant to stay at $1. Earlier this week, Basis announced that it had raised $133 million from …
US Army testing FORTIS exoskeleton that will let soldiers climb with 180 pounds of gear
The US Army is testing the Lockheed Martin FORTIS exoskeleton. Using independent actuators, motors and lightweight conformal structures, lithium ion battery powered FORTIS allows soldiers to carry 180 pounds up five flights of stairs while expending less energy. There is a 2017 Youtube video of the FORTIS exoskeleon Learn More sale promocode In May 2017, …
Google Algorithm speeds up internet by up to 14%
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) now features a cutting-edge new congestion control algorithm, TCP BBR, which achieves higher bandwidths and lower latencies for internet traffic. This is the same BBR that powers TCP traffic from google.com and that improved YouTube network throughput by 4 percent on average globally — and by more than 14 percent in …
Super tiny drones will be made with computer chips that are 100 times more energy efficient
Engineers have worked made drones the size of a bumblebee and loaded them with even tinier sensors and cameras. Almost every part of a drone has been made smaller, except for the brains of the entire operation — the computer chip. Standard computer chips for quadcoptors and other similarly sized drones process an enormous amount …
Optimum human input exoskeleton with 17-31% efficiency gains
Researchers at the College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a novel design approach for exoskeletons and prosthetic limbs that incorporates direct feedback from the human body. The findings were published this week in Science. This technique, called human-in-the-loop optimization, customizes walking assistance for individuals and significantly improves energy economy during walking. The …
Nanodrums near the quantum limit can be used for data encryption
Researchers at Aalto University and the University of Jyväskylä have developed a new method of measuring microwave signals extremely accurately. This method can be used for processing quantum information, for example by efficiently transforming signals from microwave circuits to the optical regime. Important quantum limit If you are trying to tune in a radio station …
Adding 1000 GWe of new nuclear energy capacity by 2050
The nuclear industry can achieve the momentum required to create an additional 1000 GWe of new capacity by 2050, Agneta Rising, director general of the World Nuclear Association said. This target is essential, she said, if the world is to ensure the International Energy Agency’s 2 Degree Scenario on climate change. Connections of new nuclear …
Baidu improves efficiency by 30 times and scaling by 16 time for Deep Learning on 128 GPU chips
Persistent RNNs: Stashing Recurrent Weights On-Chip Abstract This paper introduces a new technique for mapping Deep Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) efficiently onto GPUs. We show how it is possible to achieve substantially higher computational throughput at low mini-batch sizes than direct implementations of RNNs based on matrix multiplications. The key to our approach is the …
