- Nanotechnology-based self-cleaning fabrics
- A recent American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac briefly describes how Australian researchers have used nanotechnology to develop 'self-cleaning' wool and silk fabrics (scroll to article #4 in the PressPac). The researchers 'prepared wool fabrics with and without a nanoparticle coating composed of anatase titanium dioxide, a substance that is known...

- A Three-Stage Load-Balancing Switch
- This paper presents a three-stage load-balancing switch without the mis-sequencing problem. Analytical results indicate that this 3SLB switch is able to guarantee 100% throughput as an ideal OQ switch plus a bounded delay. Moreover, the switch architecture naturally minimizes the blocking problem without any scheduling computation. There is no speedup...

- Smart fabric mimicking knights armors
- Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC have created the world’s smallest chain-mail fabric. This fabric looks like the chain-mail armor worn by medieval knights, but can embed much more recent sensors to create some smart textiles. This fabric, which consists of "a network of small rings about...

- Layered Control to Enable Large Scale SOA Switch Fabric
- Increasingly sophisticated photonic integrated circuits with high numbers of active components such as multi-stage switch fabrics introduce complex control challenges. Studies on Semiconductor Optical Amplifier SOA based switch fabrics have shown low penalty operation for high levels of cascading for wavelength multiplexed packets. However, as the number of wavelengths, and...

- Blog swarm on Writely
- Google buys Writely and the blogosphere swarms. The aggregators/memetrackers, with some algorithmic help and hand kneading, provide ample evidence. It's a good example of how the blogosphere operates--thousands of bloggers converging on a hot topic and the aggregators/memetrackers sorting and filtering the output for human consumption. It's the hot conversation...
