Nano Hummingbird

Posted: 19 Feb 2011 04:27 AM PST

AeroVironment, the California-based company behind the largest, highest and longest flying unmanned aircraft system (UAS), has now achieved a remarkable technical milestone with a much smaller aircraft which named Nano Hummingbird, is world’s first fully operational life-sized Humingbird like unmanned aircraft for SARPA.Nano Hummingbird features two wing,flapping aircraft hovers and flies in any directionand weighs in at 19 grams.This battery-powered drone has a front-facing camera and can fly for up to eight minutes at a time…….

AeroVironment Inc. announced it has accomplished a technical milestone never before achieved controlled precision hovering and fast-forward flight of a two-wing, flapping wing aircraft that carries its own energy source, and uses only the flapping wings for propulsion and control.The milestone was part of the Phase II contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to AV to design and build a flying prototype hummingbird-like aircraft for the Nano Air Vehicle (NAV) program.

The final concept demonstrator is called the Nano Hummingbird and is capable of climbing and descending vertically, flying sideways left and right, flying forward and backward, as well as rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise, under remote control and carrying a video camera payload. During the demonstration the Nano Hummingbird flew in and out of a building through a normal-size doorway.The hand-made prototype aircraft has a wingspan of 16 centimeters (6.5 inches) tip-to-tip and has a total flying weight of 19 grams (2/3 ounce) which is less than the weight of a common AA battery. This includes all the systems required for flight; batteries, motors, communications systems and video camera. The aircraft can be fitted with a removable body fairing which is shaped to have the appearance of a real hummingbird. The aircraft is larger and heavier than an average hummingbird, but is smaller and lighter than the largest hummingbird currently found in nature.

The technical goals for the Phase II effort were set out by DARPA as flight test milestones for the aircraft to achieve by the end of the contract effort. The Nano Hummingbird met all and exceeded many of the milestones:

  • Demonstrate precision hover flight within a virtual two-meter diameter sphere for one minute.
  • Demonstrate hover stability in a wind gust flight which required the aircraft to hover and tolerate a two-meter per second (five miles per hour) wind gust from the side, without drifting downwind more than one meter.
  • Demonstrate a continuous hover endurance of eight minutes with no external power source.
  • Fly and demonstrate controlled, transition flight from hover to 11 miles per hour fast forward flight and back to hover flight.
  • Demonstrate flying from outdoors to indoors, and back outdoors through a normal-size doorway.
  • Demonstrate flying indoors ‘heads-down’ where the pilot operates the aircraft only looking at the live video image stream from the aircraft, without looking at or hearing the aircraft directly.
  • Fly the aircraft in hover and fast forward flight with bird-shaped body and bird-shaped wings.

Twitter Suspends UberTwitter And Twidroyd

Posted: 19 Feb 2011 03:56 AM PST

Twitter suspends UberTwitter and Twidroyd for violating its policies,citing issues affecting many users and UberMedia to get new name with fixed apps, should be live soon……

Twitter has just posted a help document titled “I’m Having Problems Logging In to UberTwitter or twidroyd” that gives little hope for an immediate fix: turns out the company has outright suspended both apps among the most popular Twitter apps for the BlackBerry / iPhone and Android platforms, respectively for “violating [its] policies.” They go on to say that they suspend hundreds of apps on a daily basis for policy violations, but decided to call out these two in particular because of the high number of users potentially affected.

UberMedia explains “privacy issue” and “changing Tweets to make money” accusations below.

Twitter shut down the three UberMedia-owned apps for “violating our policies”, the company said in a short statement on its official blog.

This is big news in itself. UberMedia, which recently acquired UK-born TweetDeck, carries more than 20% of tweets sent daily, across the globe according to Seesmic founder Loic Le Meur. It could easily be construed as a vituperative broadside against Ubermedia with the backdrop of Twitter heavily promoting its own alternative mobile apps.

A fuller statement emailed to the press, however, sheds just a tantalising fraction of light on the ban. Twitter said (with our emphasis):

“Today we suspended several applications, including UberTwitter, twidroyd and UberCurrent, which have violated Twitter policies and trademarks in a variety of ways. These violations include, but aren’t limited to, a privacy issue with private Direct Messages longer than 140 characters, trademark infringement, and changing the content of users’ Tweets in order to make money.

“We’ve had conversations with UberMedia, the developer of these applications, about policy violations since April 2010, when they first launched under the name TweetUp – a term commonly used by Twitter users and a trademark violation. We continue to be in contact with UberMedia and hope that they will bring the suspended applications into compliance with our policies soon.”

UberMedia has since resubmitted its apps, with the UberTwitter BlackBerry app re-emerging as UberSocial. Twitter doesn’t like the marks “Tweet” or “Twitter” being used by third parties, we know that. And it could well be that today was simply a warning shot across UberMedia‘s bow on the eve (or aftermath) of its big TweetDeck acquisition.But how do you explain the “privacy issue” with direct messages? Or “changing the content of users’ tweets in order to make money”? At the time of posting, we’ve not had any clarification from the Bill Gross-fronted company, despite numerous requests for comment and an exclusive fireside chat with TechCrunch.

Gross said in UberMedia’s statement:

“We were immediately in touch with Twitter, and the changes they asked us to make were very small. As a result, we have completed the changes, and new apps are currently being posted to their respective stores. Twitter has assured us that as soon as those changes were complete, they would reactivate our applications.

“Twitter also asked us to modify the name of UberTwitter. We began a process of changing the name three weeks ago by polling our users, and we’ve decided based on their input to change the product name to UberSocial, which we completed today.”

Gross has just offered a fuller comment on each of Twitter’s accusations. Writing on Quora (where else?), the longtime entrepreneur explains:

“1. Twitter said that in UberTwitter and Twidroyd we use a tweet-elongation service named tmi.me that allows people to write more than 140 characters, and that this service may post private messages on a public website. At their request, we have removed this ability.

“2. Twitter said that in UberCurrent we change links that are part of an affiliate program to be our own links. We don’t currently do this, but we removed all changing of links to eliminate any possibility of this.

“3. Twitter said that they would like us to change the name UberTwitter, and we have changed the name to UberSocial, effective immediately.”

At present we know very little about TinyPwn and is also difficult to understand what kind of firmware customization will be possible with this tool. But you can assume that it will be a program much like Pwnage Tool (Dev Team) and sn0wbreeze (iH8sn0w), a tool that will allow then to create, through appropriate commands step-by-step, to restore a custom firmware through iTunes on device.

Even if you still do not know the release date of TinyPwn, the developer has announced that this tool will be compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux, and that, along with the edited files. Ipsw, will be introduced in other important news.

Before Swayne had died on September 2009, he was also spotted to be in the said Stanford Cancer Center as well while he had been having his pancreatic cancer that time.

Jobs' present features can be boldly decribed in the photos published by the US tabloids such as the National Enquirer.

The Enquirer reported that Jobs is suffering from pancreatic cancer and may have only six weeks to live.

According to Dr Jerome Spunberg, a physician with 40 years experience;

He is terminal. What you are seeing is extreme muscle wasting from calorie depravation, most likely caused by cancer. He has no muscle left in his buttocks, which is the last place to go.

Also, according to Dr Samuel Jacobson, Critical Care physician;

Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks. Only about 4 per cent of patients with any form of pancreatic cancer live longer than five years

Steven Paul Jobs, commonly known as Steve Jobs is a co-founder likewise the Chief Executive Officer of the Apple Incorporated.

He served the Pixar Animation Studios with the position of Chief Executive and in 2006 and then he was lifted to be one of the board members for the Walt Disney Company.

Make Free VoIP Call to your Facebook Friends With Facebook Messenger

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 09:09 PM PST

Facebook Messenger by Crisp App combines two services that many of us hold near and dear: Facebook chat and VoiP. The Facebook Messenger app is certainly workable on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 3.1.2 or later versions. The app aims to one-up Facebook’s existing chat service by adding its own free VoiP service to the mix, making it easy to engage in voice chats with your Facebook friends free of charge.

The Facebook Messenger app is more than a fine messenger as well.It offers a lot of other features fto enhance the Facebook chatting capabilities.The features added by this app to Facebook chatting services include sharing pictures, maintaining chat history etc. The app also supports Push Notifications and delivers all the messages to you in no time.

Features

* Chat with Facebook friends from your iPhone/iPod Touch
* Easy-to-use interface
* Get replies instantly with Apple Push Notifications
* Make free VoIP calls to Facebook friends on desktop or iPhone/iPod Touch
* Easily send photos from your album or camera
* Keep track of all your chats and calls with message history
* View your friend's Wall in the embedded browser without leaving the app

Using the application is really easy. Upon downloading, simply click the Facebook Connect button and allow the application to obtain the necessary permissions to connect to your account.

Once permitted, the application then lists all of your Facebook friends and groups them according to how you organised your friends on the social network, listing both online and offline contacts.

To chat to a contact, tap on their name and a new chat window will open, allowing you to choose whether to chat or to call them. Clicking chat will bring up a keyboard, allowing you to start an instant messaging session, whereas clicking call will begin a voice call allowing you to chat to your friends whether they are connected on their iPhone, iPod Touch or via the Facebook website.

If two iPhone or iPod Touch users are using the app, the call is initiated between the two devices but if the recipient is using their desktop computer, they are sent a unique link requesting a chat session that connects using the users' browser.

During out tests, the call quality was reasonable, although we did notice some lag between communications. However, when we tried this again, the call quality was drastically improved. We tested the call over a Wi-Fi connection.

Users can browse websites within the application, useful when links are sent via an IM session. Images can also be shared using the camera roll or via a live shot, something that Facebook's own application doesn't offer itself.

The Facebook Messenger is available for $2.99 at Apple's App Store right now.
