Cargo-Positioning System for Next-Generation Spacecraft

A report discusses a proposed system for mounting loaded pallets in the cargo bay of a next-generation space-shuttle-like spacecraft, such that the center of mass of the cargo would lie within a 1-in. (2.54- cm) cube that would also contain the center of mass of the spacecraft. The system would include (1) an algorithm for planning the locations of the pallets, given the geometric and weight properties of the pallets, and the geometric restrictions of the cargo bay; (2) quick-connect/ quick-disconnect mounting mechanisms similar to those now used on air hoses; (3) other mounting mechanisms, comprising mostly spring-loaded pins, in a locking subsystem that would prevent shifting of the pallets under load; and (4) mechanisms for performing fine position adjustments to satisfy the center-of-mass requirement.

E=mc^2 Verified In Quantum Chromodynamic Calculation

chirishnique and other readers sent in a story in AFP about a heroic supercomputer computation that has verified Einstein's most famous equation at the level of subatomic particles for the first time. "A brainpower consortium led by Laurent Lellouch of France's Centre for Theoretical Physics, using some of the world's mightiest supercomputers, have set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms. ... [T]he mass of gluons is zero and the mass of quarks is only five per cent. Where, therefore, is the missing 95 per cent? The answer, according to the study published in the US journal Science on Thursday, comes from the energy from the movements and interactions of quarks and gluons.

Handheld Mass Spectrometer Offers Potential for Public Safety

A new hand-held mass spectrometer, the smallest complete device developed thus far, has been developed by Purdue University researchers. Liang Gao, Andy Sugiarto, Jason D. Harper, R. Graham Cooks and Zheng Ouyang detail the specs of the new device and the potential for its use in an article recently published in Analytical Chemistry, on the American Chemical Society's website.

Samsung Mass Produces Fast 256GB SSDs

Lucas123 writes "Samsung said it's now mass producing a 256GB solid state disk that it says has sequential read/write rates of 220MB/sec and 200/MBsec, respectively. Samsung said it focused on narrowing the disparity of read/write rates on its SSD drive with this model by interleaving NAND flash chips using eight channels, the same way Intel boosts its X25 SSD. The drive doubles the performance of Samsung's previous 64GB and 128GB SSDs. 'The 256GB SSD launches applications 10 times faster than the fastest 7200rpm notebook HDD,' Samsung said in a statement."

Business Expert Explains Secret To Mass Communications at Micro Level

Business Expert Explains Secret To Mass Communications at Micro Level - It might be an unusual sounding term, but "micro-blogging" could be a great opportunity for businesses to connect with their community of users at the same time as providing individual customer care, according to marketing and business expert Robb Hecht. In his latest business TV show screening on yourBusinessChannel, Hecht explains that big companies like Dell, Comcast, and South West Airlines are already using micro-blogging to do this. Popular marketing blogger and Digital Strategy Director at IMC Strategy Lab, Hecht explains the background to micro-blogging and why it can be such a valuable tool to reach customers. "The companies who offer a micro-blogging service are Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed.

First Look: Apple's iPhone 2.2 software hits the street (and Street View)

It takes exactly an hour and 25 minutes via mass transit to ride from the Test Center's lab on Long Island to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. You can find this out, even if you're not a Yankee fan, by downloading iPhone 2.2 and clicking on Google Maps -- which Apple has now made enormously more valuable on its device by adding mass transit and walking directions from point-to-point.
