This is the biggest lie of the outgoing week...Looking at this picture of the man's outfit testifies that this man will be LIAREST(Pardon my grammatical configuration which is non existent) on EARTH. He doesn't need self destructive drawn attention because it show the depths at which people just want to be a HERO without working for it. How on earth will someone kill this kind of animal, wearing a sneaker that's not dirty nor had any STAINS? His trouser is without any traces of dust on it and the MAN DIDN'T EVEN SWEAT! Simply taking up another man's glory. I BOW FOR THIS NIGERIAN ACTOR. Anyway,enjoy yourself

I'm a Christian and I'm totally against the killings, but what this 'man' did is wrong... Mr Suleiman, Christianity is totally against violence.... #weAreNotBokoHaram #WeAreNotFulaniHerdsmen

I pray Fulani to just cut one of yr leg or arm whether you will still say dis trash. The problem of Christianity are Christian. Let's just speak with one voice for once. What is bad is bad.

Dandsome:
Hmm this your money will buy two good Tecno phones o

We are talking of better phones you're are talking of Tecno... You better keep quiet if you don't have anything to say.

Currently using Samsung Galaxy Note 4...Even for #100k, I will not sell it. There are phones and there are phones!

Bought a 50" Samsung online via Nairaland from Acunon. Still serving me fine. Some trustworthy people still do good business online.

Just thinking aloud...Should you be faced with a mandatory choice of picking only one among Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter on your phone, which would you pick/prefer and why? Let's keep the ball rolling.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Wearables With Today’s Sensors and Wireless Technologies

A half century ago, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the overall processing power of computers would double every two years. This was aptly coined Moore’s Law. However, the foresight that he demonstrated could not have predicted how technology would end up constructing and defining markets so many decades later.

For example, just 10 years ago, fitness trackers were still in their infancy and represented a glimpse of things to come. Now, many analysts and stakeholders agree that the market has moved from its innovation to adoption stage. That, of course, brings new opportunities and challenges—particularly in wearable and medical applications.

DEEPER INSIGHTS

Wireless Manufacturing Test too High?

With wearable devices, miniaturization and low-power consumption have always been design concerns and are especially relevant now as we increase the functionality of these products. We have migrated from simple pedometers to advanced activity and health monitoring devices. In some cases, wearables include pressure sensors for altitude detection (i.e., stair climbing detection for calorie counting), optical sensors for heart rate monitoring, actuators that provide vibration for “alerts,” and even ambient light sensing to adjust the backlight on displays. This increased functionality requires more components in the same limited space and increased processing power from the power source. Design engineers are therefore always looking to push the limits on miniaturization and power consumption control. In response to these market demands, electronics manufacturers are developing sensors that enable a decreased footprint and extended battery life.

Another critical focus area is on medical applications. With an aging population, many companies are looking to sensor technology to measure the wellness of elderly care patients, especially in remote monitoring functions. Someone’s vital signs, exercise habits, and sleep patterns can be shared with doctors and family members at home and not just from a hospital. There are MEMS-based technologies, in which low-noise accelerometers are used to provide contactless patient monitoring. These sensors utilize ballistocardiology (BCG) techniques and ultra-sensitive MEMS accelerometers to provide vital sign information, such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variation (HRV), relative stroke volume (SV), respirator rate (RR), and bed occupancy.

BCG measures the repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection of blood into the heart vessels with each heartbeat. This vibration (BCG signal) can be detected using an ultra-sensitive MEMS accelerometer coupled with advanced algorithms. The accelerometer captures the signal and is then passed to a microcontroller to extract vital sign information, such as HR, HRV, SV, and RR. This information can be shared wireless via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interface without attaching leads or probes to the body. In addition, the output information from the sensor can be aggregated for more complex measurements, such as sleep quality monitoring and stress measurements. From the young to the old, the applications are nearly endless.

Building on this, and as more wearable and medical electronics hit the market, manufacturers are actively using science and technology expertise and focused R& efforts to anticipate and meet ever-evolving industry demands. Not only do developers require miniaturized, low-power consuming, highly reliable building blocks, but these solutions have to deliver advanced connectivity. Enter: wireless communications products—design challenges and all.

On the connectivity front, Bluetooth Smart 4.0/4.1 technology communicates readily with consumer devices like cell phones, tablets, laptops or the many other Bluetooth Smart-enabled applications, allowing greater wireless connections to sensors and other devices. Moreover, the rollout of Bluetooth Smart 4.2 has increased the need for streamlined functionality and connectivity. Security support is also becoming key due to HIPPA regulations. Further, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced earlier this year that its next release, Bluetooth 5, will launch either later this year or early next. The technology promises significantly increased range, speed, and broadcast messaging capacity to truly enable the future wearable market.

What other technology can drive this? Wi-Fi with 11ac technology can help medical applications that need super high throughputs. 11ac technology brings Ethernet speeds to wireless by enabling highly demanding applications. The next generation of 11ac technology allows high throughput at very low power levels. This feature makes it well suited for the wearables market, since transmissions happen at a very high speed in a short time but stay in sleep mode otherwise.

Over the next several years, the wearable market will be driven by smart wearables like activity trackers, smartwatches, and smart clothing in applications ranging from industrial, to tourism, to (of course) healthcare. Manufacturers that are continually pushing the envelope and actively at the forefront of realizing this connected world will be poised to carve out a stake in the challenging, dynamic, and fascinating wearables market.

Soon smartphone camera will come with health and food quality monitor
By Meenakshi Rawat - 29/11/2016
smartphone camera heart monitor


New applications for smartphone cameras is being found out allowing it to be integrated with a cloud-based system enabling monitoring of health, food quality and logistics. Scientists have perfected the first hyperspectral mobile device which can turn the smartphone camera into optical sensor which can sense food quality or human health. It must be remembered that hyperspectral cameras are quite expensive and is much sought for medical, industrial and space monitoring.

Now the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has perfected a cost effective optical MEMS or the Micro Opto Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) spectral technology, which is capable of a variety of applications for environmental policing, remote sensing and surveillance from vehicles as well as aerial drones. It is also finding wide applications in monitoring vital health parameters of individuals as well as ascertaining the quality of food.

Combining smart sensors with the web based sites will enabling 24 hours monitoring of health parameters like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, emergency procedures, checking different malignancies in the body, etc. It will also reveal in a jiffy if a particular food product is safe and edible.

Product verification can also be effected, and spurious and cheap imitation of premium products can be found out in an instant. The technology will also help in biometric identification helping the law enforcement officers to identify culprits without causing any nuance to the common public. The technology will also find application in autonomous vehicles and public transport systems.

The customized MEMS filter can be easily integrated into the camera lens, and the adjustment is synchronized with the smartphone camera’s image capture system. The spectral data can be used for image processing through various cloud-based services. Mass production of sensor technology will make the hyperspectral imaging in a wide range of devices in which cheap camera sensors are currently used.

Senate moves to convert Kadpoly, Yabatech to universities
The Senate on Wednesday commenced moves to convert Kaduna Polytechnic and Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) to universities.

Two bills on the conversion of the institutions scaled through first reading during today’s plenary.

The bill on the conversion of Kaduna Polytechnic, tagged City University of Technology Kaduna Bill, 2016 (SB. 360) was sponsored by Senator Jibrin Barau (APC, Kano) and the City University of Technology Yaba Bill (SB. 334) was sponsored by Senator Gbenga Ashafa (APC, Lagos).

Our correspondent reports that attempts were made to convert the two institutions to universities in 2010 during President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan era.

To this effect, a 20-man committee was set up by the then Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufai in November 2010.

The Kaduna Polytechnic was established in 1956 as a technical institution for the then Northern Nigeria and it was upgraded to Polytechnic in 1961.

On its part, the Yabatech was established in 1947 and the institution is acclaimed to be the first citadel of higher learning in the country.

Especially with this 'Samsung Connect auto', many road side mechanics go suffer...

Samsung launches a bunch of new accessories along with the Note7
20 AUGUST, 2016
The Galaxy Note7 isn’t only thing Samsung launched in the US yesterday. The company announced that it is releasing several new accessories which help to make up its new lineup of “collections” which promote different lifestyles as part of Samsung’s latest marketing campaign.

Move, Explore, Create, and Go with Galaxy - These collections focus on fitness, learning and experiencing VR, creating new content, and using products for a mobile lifestyle, respectively.

Samsung is launching a new updated Gear VR (hands-on here) which will work with Smartphones all the way back to the S6, the Gear 360 camera which is used to create 360 photos and videos viewable on Gear VR (hands-on here), Gear Icon X totally wireless earbuds, and Level Active headphones which are much like the PowerBeats2 wireless headphones.

Also not previously mentioned by Samsung, AT&T will be selling the “Samsung Connect auto”. It’s a device that you plug into your car’s ODBII interface port (which is used for programming and reading a vehicle’s diagnostics).

This device can provide your passengers with a Wi-Fi hotspot using AT&T’s LTE, and “send real-time alerts to the driver, improving efficiency and safety on the road”. You’ll also be able to track your car via GPS, and be alerted if your car’s location changes.

The 'Samsung Connect auto' works with its own app which can be installed on either Android or iOS.
