MIB MP3 Alarm Clock

MIB MP3 Alarm Clock 04/01/2005 10:59 AM

Continuing with the USB memory news today is MIB and their "Wakeup+" alarm clock. The Wakeup+ really isn't the first time we've seen an alarm clock that supports playback of MP3, but it may be the first time we've seen it done right. It supports the USB On-The-Go standard, so you can plug USB memory devices right into the port found on the reverse of the unit. MIB has also confirmed the clock to work with the iPod mini and iPod shuffle.

Alarm clock that hides

Alarm clock that hides 03/29/2005 08:54 PM
David Pescovitz: Clocky is an alarm clock that hides when you hit its snooze button. It was developed by Gauri Nanda at the MIT Media Lab. From the project description:

When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day.

I don't like being told when to wake up but I've come to terms with the idea that I have to. In designing Clocky, I was in part inspired by kittens I've had that would bite my toes every morning.

Jigsaw Puzzle Alarm Clock

Jigsaw Puzzle Alarm Clock 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

Classic, modern style. Smooth, refined form. Oh, and possibly the most obnoxious feature set possible in an alarm clock (aside from a clock that actually flees away from you): You must complete a jigsaw puzzle to deactivate the alarm. No cord to cut, since it's battery operated, and "recommended for ages 3 or over"—really, anyone old enough to wield a hammer.

It addition to the ability to 'Wake to iPod,' the iH5 also features the standard AM/FM radio and alarms you've learned to hate.

On closer inspection, that's carpet, although Gauri Nanda might've done better with a more vibrant color. Regardless, Clocky rolls off your nightstand, bounces off your startled dog and finds a new place to hide once you press the snooze button. Maybe one day, we'll have an alarm clock that just crawls on your chest and wets itself. We can dream, can't we?

Hilton Hotels Line-In Alarm Clock

Hilton Hotels Line-In Alarm Clock 03/30/2005 09:10 AM

Hilton Hotels are rolling out new radio alarm clocks to their rooms, complete with a line-in jack for plugging in your MP3 player. In addition, the new units are supposed to be a lot easier to set yourself, and can wake you up with the sound of one of four pre-set radio stations instead of the jarring clang of the hotel wake-up call (although, I sort of like that, especially when the friendly robot calls).

Of course, it'd be cooler if the clock could wake you up with your music, but that would probably morph into 'iPod only.' Line-in is the future!

Alarm clock waits for light sleep to

Cory Doctorow: The difference between being woken from a dream and woken from light sleep is the difference between a rotten wake up and an easy one -- for me at least. I have long dreamt (heh) of an alarm clock that is smart enough to tell the difference, and now I've found one:

The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

Update: d3 sez, "They mention a prototype might be ready by the end of the year, but there already is an alarm clock that performs a similar function available now called the SleepT racker."

Einstein flip 01/05/2005 06:31 AM
David Pescovitz: Cambridge physicist Helen Czerski and BMX pro Ben Wallace have collaboratively designed a new bike trick in honor of the centenary celebration of Einstein's most influential scientific publications.

In the stunt, 18-year-old Wallace, a competitor in extreme sports events around the world, launched off a six-feet high ramp and spun backwards through 360 degrees while simultaneously folding his bike underneath him in a move known to BMX devotees as a ‘tabletop’. At one point, onlookers saw Wallace upside down, travelling at 15mph, with his head 12-feet off the floor.

Czerski, a keen sportswoman and diver herself, said: “I spent a lot of time looking at the physics behind various stunts, trying to understand the limits of what is physically possible to determine how far we could push the parameters with our new creation. I then tested our ideas using a computer simulation to plot a new stunt.”

The stunt draws upon a variety of physics theories including the conservation of angular momentum and Newton's laws of motion.

Flip-switch day

Flip-switch day 11/16/2003 08:29 PM

Lots of changes today, but ones with (Murphy-willing) very small impact on the user interface. In fact, unless they don't work, you shouldn't see any difference at all. Since this is Scripting News, and not Knitting News, we'll go ahead and say which switches got flipped.

First, www.scripting.com now resides on the east coast instead of the west. The new Monster servers, the 3GHz meat-eaters that climb skyscrapers, are now both managing the content and doing the serving for everything on scripting.com.

The picture of King Kong to the right will appear when the new server is visible through DNS to your browser. If you see a broken image and want to see what the picture looks like just click on it.

Second, a big change in the way the outliner works. We used to have to tell it how to format a day of weblog posts using Rules, a great feature if you want a lot of control over how things look, but a pain in the butt if every day looks exactly like every other day, as is always true in my weblog.

Third, this is going to be a product, not one that I plan to sell (although I may give it to UserLand and they might sell it). It's a new kind of outliner-based Web CMS, that does weblogs and all the other stuff you see popping up here on Scripting. I spent much of the day exploring ideas for how to package, test and then ship this. Should it be a Manila plug-in? Or something that's linked to Manila on a sort of peer basis? Or should it be completely independent of Manila? I want to deliberate on this decision, because I expect to live with it for a long time.

Evolved antenna designs

Evolved antenna designs 06/28/2004 11:35 AM
This antenna (and may others on the linked page) was evolved by NASA using a genetic algorithm. While highly effective, its design is counter-intuitive.

First, there is the potential of needing less power. Antenna ST5-3-10 achieves high gain (2-4dB) across a wider range of elevation angles. This allows a broader range of angles over which maximum data throughput can be achieved. Also, less power from the solar array and batteries may be required.

Second, the evolved antenna does not require a matching network nor a phasing circuit, removing two steps in design and fabrication of the antenna. A trivial transmission line may be used for the match on the flight antenna, but simulation results suggest that one is not required.

Third, the evolved antenna has more uniform coverage in that it has a uniform pattern with small ripples in the elevations of greatest interest (between 40 and 80 degrees). This allows for reliable performance as elevation angle relative to the ground changes.

I have a new article online at TheFeature.com about a 60-year-old ham radio head who may have revolutionized antenna design:

Rob Vincent couldn't let anything interfere with love, even interference itself. In 1995, the ham radio buff moved in to his girlfriend's small Rhode Island house to live happily ever after. But there was a hitch. Her small piece of property wasn't big enough for Vincent, his significant other, and the 140-foot antenna he needed to reach his wireless buddies around the world.

Dedicated to both his future wife and his hobby, Vincent spent nearly a decade designing the antenna now standing in his backyard. The 40-foot-high pole bests conventional antennas three times taller. This week, the inventor and his employer, the University of Rhode Island, are filing a patent on the technology...

"The people saying that I'm a snake oil salesman... will have to order a great big plate of crow very soon," Vincent says. Link

According to testing performed by URI (ah HA!), the antennas are one-third to one-ninth the size of a full-size counterpart while retaining 80 to 100 percent efficiency.
