A post for airplane nerds only...

Mountains climbing nearly to 12,000' separate the Los Angeles basin from the Palm Springs and Joshua Tree area.  A layer of clouds between 4000' and 6000' covered all of the Los Angeles airports.  Thus it was necessary to proceed from Sedona into Los Angeles on an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) clearance.  The minimum enroute altitude on the direct airway from Twentynine Palms into LA is 13,500' due to the fact that this airway goes straight over some of the tallest peaks.  I was flying along at 14,000', breathing bottled oxygen, and got called by ATC:  "Fly heading 230 for a train."

I banked the airplane and looked down wondering what kind of monster freight train they might have out West that would require an airplane at 14,000' to adjust its course.

Then I realized that perhaps the call was "Flying heading 230 for terrain."

(Default branch) 03/31/2005 07:22 AM
Traffic Control Super Script implements traffic shaping for IP traffic passing through a NAT/bridge box with a single configuration file with one line per host. It can manage bandwidth to user-specified speeds based on the u32 classifier, and can identify traffic by source, destination, source and destination port, protocol, and ToS field. It then limits the rate of connection in either a single or a bidirectional fashion.

Adaptive Cruise Control May Solve
Traffic Jams

Adaptive Cruise Control May Solve
Traffic Jams 07/30/2004 03:51 PM
More and more luxury cars these days are coming with adaptive cruise control -- which is mainly considered a safety feature. The idea is that if you're getting too close to the car in front of you, your car automatically begins to slow down, avoiding the possibility of an accident. However, one of the nice "unintended benefits" of such systems is they may create much more efficient traffic flow. Apparently, if just 20% of the cars on the road had such systems on a normal highway, most traffic jams would simply go away. The article goes into details on how this works, but the basic summary is that most drivers are either idiots or err on the side of caution by braking too hard when someone in front of them brakes, leading to a chain reaction that causes the slow down. With a computer braking more appropriately, the chain reaction has a much smaller impact, allowing traffic flow to continue smoothly. Yet another situation where a technology designed for one purpose, actually has a very useful alternative benefit.

Control your computer with your brain?

Control your computer with your brain? 03/25/2005 01:28 AM
Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, a company based in Foxborough, MA, has developed software to enable quadriplegics to use computers as well as any enable-bodied person. The hardware, called BrainGate, requires a silicon chip to be placed on the motor functions of the brain that control arms and legs, and a hole to be drilled in to the skull to allow a plug to interface with the chip and computer.
Available on normal desktop computers, this hardware will allow quadriplegics to surf the 'Net, write e-mails, and even play video games as well as the next person, and all by simply thinking the action.

The beginning of The Matrix, or just the greatest step in technology ever conceived? Either way, the future is here.
