On July 20, 1969, the world was watching the CBS News broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing. As Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface for the first time, the music millions of viewers heard was an otherworldly, futuristic soundtrack by Mort Garson. Without Garson, “electronic music as we know it today would not exist,” says Caleb Braaten of Sacred Bones Records, a Brooklyn, New York, label that specializes in lost and obscure recordings. Garson wrote popular songs, including Our Day Will Come, a hit for Ruby and the Romantics, among other artists. He was an arranger on…
Dr. Ir Hari Agus Sujono MSc when presenting the results of his dissertation at an open session of his doctoral promotion at ITS Electrical Engineering ITS Campus, ITS News – Diagnosis of asthma using Gas Chromatography (GC) is very expensive. This condition inspired Dr. Ir Hari Agus Sujono MSc to develop a diagnosis method of breathing air using Electronic Nose in his doctoral dissertation at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), Surabaya. In fact, Hari claimed the results of research conducted since 2009 were able to save up to 90 percent of the cost of…
In living organisms, cells have a very high capacity to process and communicate information by moving molecules or ions through tiny channels that span the cell membrane. UC Santa Cruz Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Marco Rolandi’s lab and collaborators at MIT have created a device that mimics this biological concept in order to detect disease. Using their bioprotonic system, a device that integrates electronic components with biological components and uses electrical currents of protons, the researchers can detect biomolecules that indicate the presence of human disease, among other applications. Details on this device were newly published in the…
Kansas authorities must destroy all electronic copies they made of a small newspaper’s files when police raided its office this month, a judge ordered Tuesday, nearly two weeks after computers and cellphones seized in the search were returned. The Aug. 11 searches of the Marion County Record’s office and the homes of its publisher and a City Council member have been sharply criticized, putting Marion, a central Kansas town of about 1,900 people, at the center of a debate over the press protections offered by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Attorney Bernie Rhodes, who represents the newspaper, said…
USS Pinckney (DDG-91) underway in San Diego Bay on Nov. 7, 2023. San Diego Web Cam Photo ARLINGTON, Va. – A quartet of destroyers will be the test case for the Navy’s $17 billion plan to add a major electronic warfare upgrade to Flight IIA destroyers, service officials outlined last week.Late last year, USS Pinckney (DDG-91) wrapped up the first part of a two-step modernization availability and left General Dynamics’ NASSCO shipyard in San Diego, Calif., for sea-trails with what some in the service have compared to Carrie Fisher’s double bun hairstyle in Star Wars. Standing two decks high, the…
The Communications Security Establishment (CSE), one of the federal agencies tasked with countering foreign interference, is experiencing a “major staffing crisis,” a former CSE spy told Radio-Canada/CBC. The CSE intercepts and decodes communications of foreign targets that seek to harm Canada. It is also responsible for protecting the federal government’s computer network and advising critical infrastructure operators, such as banks and hospitals, on how to protect themselves against cyberattacks. In a rare interview, the CSE’s chief, Caroline Xavier, did not deny that there is a crisis, but said the shortage of cybersecurity experts is a global problem. “Talk to any…
