Atmel's new Indoor ANTARIS GPS Engine

Atmel's new Indoor ANTARIS GPS Engine 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
Using GPS on robots that will operate indoors has been a problem due to the difficulties of receiving weak GPS signals. Atmel and U-Bloc have addressed this problem with a specially designed GPS engine that Atmel calls the ANTARIS. When combined with special firmware developed by U-Bloc called SuperSense, the resulting sensor module can track GPS signals beyond -158 dBm. For more details see the Atmel press release or the U-Bloc press release. No pricing was announced for the ANTARIS/SuperSense chipsets but a full evaluation kit with enclosure, power supply, antenna, and serial interface is priced at $549. U-Bloc has also posted field test documentation (PDF format) of the module in a variety of indoor and automotive applications.

Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots

Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots 12/02/2003 12:24 AM
topazx2 pointed out a recent BetterHumans.com article on indoor robot navigation. It describes a research paper (PDF format) written by Philipp Althaus of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Althaus proposes improving indoor mobile robot navigation by making the robot remember less. Instead of making maps showing walls and obstacles, robots using Philipp's method remember only specific positions, greatly reducing the computation load.

West Wing's indoor and outdoor voice

West Wing's indoor and outdoor voice 03/29/2005 09:25 AM
My wife and I have been catching up on TiVo'ed West Wings and the pattern seems obvious: The ones on the campaign trail are good while the ones inside the White House suck. The cause seems just as obvious: Without the natural drama of a campaign, the writers are at a loss. Adam Sorkin's genius was his ability to create compelling scripts out of two elements that traditionally are drama-free: a group of people who like one another and political issues/ideas. The new writers have fragmented the group and are relying on ridiculous plot twists: CJ's elevation to chief of...

Sputnik launches new Linux-based
indoor/outdoor AP for only $250!

Sputnik launches new Linux-based
indoor/outdoor AP for only $250! 04/09/2004 09:17 PM
My friends over at Sputnik just launched a new, indoor/outdoor AP, the Sputnik AP 200. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night shall stay these rugged, high-powered APs from distributing Wi-Fi for a distance of miles, with optional external antenna, of course.

The specs rock:

• 200 mW transmit antenna
• environmentally sealed and tested in temperatures ranging from -4° F to 158° F
• works with a variety of directional and omni-directional antennas (Sputnik sells a bunch)
• supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), so you can deploy them anywhere
• uses transmit power control, so you can reduce interference and increase bandwidth
• plug-n-play provisioning, making it a snap to grow your network
• WDS repeater range of over 3 miles

Of course, the real magic is in the Sputnik Control Center software (disclaimer, I had something to do with developing it...) that lets you authenticate and track users centrally, and build a managed wireless network from the ground up just by plugging APs into broadband.

Best news of all: this baby is only $250. You can start a hotzone for as little as $595, which is the special price for a Sputnik AP 200, a Sputnik AP 160 and corresponding Sputnik Central Control license.

Great work, guys!

The Underground History of American Education
You aren’t compelled to loan your car to anyone who wants it, but you are compelled to surrender your school-age child to strangers who process children for a livelihood.... If I demanded you give up your television to an anonymous, itinerant repairman who needed work you’d think I was crazy; if I came with a policeman who forced you to pay that repairman even after he broke your set, you would be outraged. Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

Fireworks for free

Fireworks for free 08/07/2004 10:55 PM

Last night I went to see fireworks. There were approximately 22,000 fireworks ignited and an expected turnout of about 320,000 people. You could pay 30,000 yen (around 300 dollars) and get a special seat as a sponsor. Otherwise, you could, like the 320,000 or so other people, find a nice spot and watch the fireworks for free. In fact, there were two other fireworks festivals (Japanese love fireworks) going on within view of the nice spot in the park that we had chosen.

Fireworks shows in Japan are sponsored by companies and local governments. The sponsors usually get the best seats and they are thanked over the PA system for the people watching the show up close. For 99% of the people who watch the fireworks from far away, the sponsors are invisible. These people are, to use Hollywood's favorite word, "stealing" this content. They don't view ads, they don't pay. They do consume a lot of beer, buy stuff in local shops which pay taxes and generally feel good about the "public good" they've just been a part of. Like me, they take pictures and videos of the fireworks and post them to the web and send them to their friends.

I wonder if there is some sort of equivalent business model for other content businesses. Charge a small number of people a large amount of money and give it to 99% of the people for free. Get sponsored by companies and other organizations like local governments that benefit from the secondary consumption increase and follow-on derivative works creation and sharing.

Two years ago, I wrote an entry that endures as one of my all-time favorites.

It's timely and topical, and (most importantly) frees me up this weekend to hang out with my wife.

Longtime readers will probably remember this, and I hope that new readers enjoy it as much as I do.

It's called Fireworks.

Macromedia's Fireworks is the established standard application for creating and optimizing graphics for the Web. The company has given it an overhaul as part of the Studio MX 2004 release, but we were curious as to how much Macromedia would improve the new version with added features and enhancements.

AP - Some Americans this Fourth of July plan to get a bang out of blowing Osama bin Laden's head off. The bin Laden Noggin, a cone-shaped pyrotechnic device with a cartoon of bin Laden's face, has been a hot seller at some fireworks stores around the country. When lit, the bin Laden cone erupts in blood-red flames and screeches for 60 seconds. Two shots blow his head off.
