A telescope as big as the Earth: A week ago, seven telescopes around the world were linked together to watch a distant galaxy called 3C273 in real time and create a single world telescope. The data from these telescopes, which are located in Australia, China and Europe, was streamed around the world at a rate of 256...; Tags: Earth, Network, Europe, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-09-06
Ready for a virtual beer?: If you're attending SIGGRAPH 2007 next week in San Diego, don't miss a demonstration done by Australian and South Korean researchers. They will pour virtual beer during the conference. They say that 'the physics of bubble creation in carbonated drinks like beer is complex,' but add that their fluid special...; Tags: Fluid, Beer, Bubble, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-04
Muni Wi-Fi threatened by patent decision: Muni Wi-Fi threatened by patent decisionWi Fi patentCSIRO, the patent holder, has said it expects royalties only from manufacturers, not users, so the title is misleading. CSIRO is a government agency.Patents Both Do and Don't WorkMoney rules government, and the government houses the branch running our illegitimate court system....; Tags: Vertical industries, Wireless LANs, innovator, government, sociopath, jewelry, USD, Wi-Fi, CSIRO, municipal Wi-Fi; Discussion threads 2006-11-27
Will Aussie patents turn Wi-Fi into a house of cards?: Get ready for the WiFi tax. Theres no way vendors can back away from the Wi-Fi "standard" (in other words, this is a house of cards that probably wont come down) even though it appears as if the 54 mbps Wi-Fi standards 802.11a and 802.11g as well as the...; Tags: Wireless LANs, OFDM, WIRELESS, CSIRO, patent, Wi-Fi, Tyler; Blog posts 2006-11-21
Wi-Fi standards face patent threat: Wi-Fi standards face patent threatAll patents must die [nt].This is not a software patent - so it should be valid...... and monies should be paid to the CSIRO. Unlike RAMBUST, who hid the fact they owned patents to the standards committee, the CSIRO made it known from the...; Tags: Chipsets, Semiconductors, Network technology, patent, chipset, CSIRO, Wi-Fi; Discussion threads 2006-11-20

Self-repairing spacecrafts: NASA and CSIRO in Australia are working together to build future spacecrafts able to detect, diagnose and fix damage, whether inflicted by impacts or caused by equipment failures. The CSIRO team has developed a spacecraft skin based on the concept of a multi-cellular sensor and communication network. The current model...; Tags: CSIRO team, cell, CSIRO; Blog posts 2005-09-25

Wirelessly networking cows: U.S. researchers have developed a Walkman-like headset for cows. This device enables them to 'whisper wireless commands to cows to control their movements across a landscape -- and even remotely gather them into a corral.' In fact, it could help farmers to maintain cows behind virtual fences. According to the...; Tags: Animal, Network, Cow, GPS, Handhelds, Productivity, Network Technology, Consumer Electronics, Personal Technology, Hardware, Networking, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-06-08
Plastic to help water and gas industries: Researchers have lots of imagination. After developing plastic as solid as steel, other scientists from in Australia, Korea and in the U.S. have created a plastic which could cut CO2 emissions and purify water. Their new material mimics pores found in plants and is exceptionally efficient. As said one of...; Tags: Membrane, Researcher, Carbon Dioxide, Separation, Industry, Polymer, Molecule, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-10-15
