Two Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Drafts Published: Format 1.0; Evaluation

The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group published two Working Drafts today: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 and Efficient XML Interchange Evaluation. The former specifies the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid approach drawn from the information and formal language theories, plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams.

Last Call: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0

Energy-Efficient Injection Moulding and Robotic Systems at Fakuma

Arburg is to present all aspects of its innovative injection moulding technology with ten machines on demonstration at Fakuma ‘08 on stand 3101 in hall A3. The main focus of the trade fair stand will be energy-efficient injection moulding production and innovations in the field of robotic systems. Trade visitors will also be introduced to a representative cross section of the current range of Arburg products, applications and services. “Energy Efficiency Allround” is an important Arburg corporate objective in 2008 and is consequently a major focus of the company's presence at the Fakuma. Arburg adopts a holistic approach to optimising energy consumption, both in terms of the company itself, and of its products and their scope of applications.

New method makes more efficient solar cell

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they have devised a method of slicing wafers of germanium for use in more efficient types of solar power cells.

Greener Skies: Quiet, Fuel-Efficient Airplanes Race in NASA Challenge

This past weekend, a NASA-sanctioned 400-mile "personal air vehicle" race was held in Santa Rosa, CA, to see who had created the quietest, most fuel-efficient plane that's still reasonably fast. Those involved hope pushing these ideas forward will make personal airplanes cost effective someday. These PAVs run as quiet as a pickup truck while averaging a fuel efficiency of 25 to 30 miles per gallon. Four planes showed up for the challenge and $100,000 in prize money was awarded, though the most intriguing craft of them all, a modded DA-20 that runs partially on biodiesel, was unable to compete because of a faulty sensor. In the end, the big winner was the Pipistrel Virus, a two-seater with tech-happy features such as three GPS modules, terrain visualization screen and a rocket-propelled parachute that deploys in the event of a mid-air

Robot Legs Not So Different from Our Own

Humans make walking look easy, but that's only because walking is a very efficient process in which our tendons and muscles work in conjunction to store and release 40% more energy than we exert. Obviously robots want in on this action. Oregon State University researchers have developed a leg that uses motors to drive a fiberglass spring-loaded knee joint. The result is a more efficient robot leg that operates more like a human leg. [NewScientist]

Using Neural Networks and OLAP Tools to Make Business Decisions

Neural networks (with and without external optimization) and online analytical processing (OLAP) are two mainstream tools for the efficient discovery of valuable non-obvious information from a large collection of data. Naturally, to be efficient, the information obtained must be worth more than the cost of processing the raw data. This article will focus on some ways these tools can be used to make better business decision. You will apply neural networks and OLAP separately to several business problems using a single data set.

Skyway Software & Atomikos Partner in Java EE App

Skyway Software announces a strategic partnership with Atomikos, a firm monitoring transaction processing (TP) activities in today's software development and delivery activities. TP monitor technology controls transaction applications and performs highly efficient business logic/rules computations and database updates, so in their technology partnership, Skyway Software relies on Atomikos for extreme transaction processing (XTP) to provide effective and efficient JDBC/JMS and JTA/XA management in distributed and nested Java EE development environments.

Nanotubes on the Brain

Metal electrodes are increasingly being used in brain implants that help treat depression and the tremors of Parkinson's disease, and in ever more sophisticated prosthetic devices. In spite of these successes, conventional metal electrodes have major limitations: performance deteriorates over time, and it's difficult to design electrodes that are efficient at both sending and receiving electrical signals. Now researchers at the University of Texas [profile] are developing electrodes that are more efficient at both sending and receiving electrical stimuli. These electrodes, which are coated with carbon nanotubes, could lead to neural implants that monitor how they affect the neurons that they stimulate, conserving battery life and reducing side effects.

MIT Secretly Built Mega-Efficient Nano Batteries

mattnyc99 writes "There was plenty of chatter last week about an MIT announcement that researcher Angela Belcher had developed a way to create virus-based nanoscale batteries to power mini gadgets of the future. In a fascinating followup at Popular Mechanics, Belcher now says that her unpublished work includes full-scale models of the batteries themselves, and that they could power everything from cars and laptops to medical devices and wearable armor. Quoting: 'We haven't ruled out cars. That's a lot of amplification. But right now the thing is trying to make the best material possible, and if we get a really great material, then we have to think about how do you scale it.'"
