Augmented Reality in a Contact Lens
A new generation of contact lenses built with very small circuits and LEDs promises bionic eyesight

The human eye is a perceptual powerhouse. It can see millions of colors, adjust easily to shifting light conditions, and transmit information to the brain at a rate exceeding that of a high-speed Internet connection.
But why stop there?

ABSTRACT
Long checkout lines at the grocery store are one of the biggest complaints about the shopping experience. This is mainly due to the time consuming use of UPC barcodes. These codes act as product fingerprints made of machine-readable parallel bars that store binary data.
Created in 1970s to speed up the checkout process, barcodes have certain disadvantages:
It is a read-only technology, which means it cannot send information.
It can easily be forged.
Barcode scanning is time consuming.
To ov ....etc

INTRODUCTION
When we talk about optical communication, most people think about optical-fiber. But optical communication is also possible without optical-fiber. We know that light travels through air for a lot less money. This makes possible the optical communication without optical-fiber. Optical communication without fiber is known as Free Space Optics. It is used due to economic advantages. Since the introduction of internet the backbone traffic is increasing at the rate greater than 100%, hence the owner of the backbone ....etc

A virtual retinal display (VRD), also known as a retinal scan display (RSD), is a new display technology that draws a raster display (like a television) directly onto the retina of the eye. The user sees what appears to be a conventional display floating in space in front of them. In the past similar systems have been made by projecting a defocused image directly in front of the user's eye on a small screen, normally in the form of large sunglasses. The user focused their eyes on the background, where the screen appeared to be floating. The d ....etc

Abstract”
In this paper, a real-time system to create a talking head from a video
sequence without any user intervention is presented. In the proposed
system, a probabilistic approach, to decide whether or not extracted
facial features are appropriate for creating a three-dimensional (3-D)
face model, is presented. Automatically extracted two-dimensional
facial features from a video sequence are fed into the proposed
probabilistic framework before a corresponding 3-D face model is built
to avoid g ....etc

ABSTRACT
In an era where energy conservation has become the latest topic of discussion not only among the erudite but also among the ordinary responsible denizens , fuel efficiency along with minimum pollution has become the benchmark for any new automobile.
And in the same context Hybrid Cars come as the latest addition. By the name itself it can be inferred that a hybrid car is an improvisation to the traditional gasoline engine run car combined with the power of an electr ....etc

Modeling Surprise
INTRODUCTION
Much of modern life depends on forecasts: where the next hurricane will make landfall, how the stock market will react to falling home prices, who will win the next primary. While existing computer models predict many things fairly accurately, surprises still crop up, and we probably can't eliminate them. But Eric Horvitz, head of the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research, thinks we can at least minimize them, using a technique called surprise modeling.
Surpr ....etc

1. Nephele: Efficient Parallel Data Processing in the Cloud
Requirement: Java

In recent years Cloud Computing has emerged as a promising new approach for adhoc parallel data processing. Major cloud computing companies have started to integrate frameworks for parallel data processing in their product portfolio, making it easy for customers to access these services and to deploy their programs. However, the processing frameworks which are currently used stem from the field of cluster computing and disregard the ....etc

Seattle: A Platform for Educational Cloud Computing


Introduction:

Cloud Computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid. The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet based on how the internet is described in computer network diagrams; which means it is an abstraction hiding the complex infrastructure of the internet. Cloud computing is a general concept that utilizes software as a service (SaaS),and othe ....etc

AIR MUSCLES.
Abstract
Air muscle is essentially a robotic actuator which is replacing the conventional pneumatic cylinders at a rapid pace. Due to their low production costs and very high power to weight ratio, as high as 400:1, the preference for Air Muscles is increasing. Air Muscles find huge applications in biorobotics and development of fully functional prosthetic limbs, having superior controlling as well as functional capabilities compared with the current models. This paper discusses Air Muscles in general, the ....etc
