United States Hospitals Will Use Robots to Kill Ebola

With the increasing number of cases of the Ebola virus all around the world, it has been able to create an extreme level of panic in every person. Ebola being one of the deadliest viruses can kill a person within a few days after the symptoms appear. If people being informed about various precautionary measures, there is no doubt that this virus can spread as quickly as a wildfire.

With the remote decontamination service market expected to have a good growth, many countries are leaving no stone unturned to handle the virus. Authorities in Madrid have already declared that they will euthanize the dogs of the people who contract Ebola outside Africa. Dogs seem to be showing the symptoms later on. WHO has already declared this situation to be completely unavoidable with increasing number of Ebola cases in Europe.

What is the robot all about? 

With the recent incident of emergency landing of the US Airlines Flight 2791, it has again given rise to the fact that Ebola can be highly infectious in airplanes. Hospitals around the world are taking measures to tackle this virus and they have gone to the extent to using a robot, called Ebola bot or little more. This robot was made by texas-based Xenex Disinfection services, which is basically a UV bulb being moved around on wheels. Although the machine costs around $115000 also, nearly 250 hospitals in America have already started using the device. This robot is being used to treat the first person who was diagnosed with the virus.

The robot emits UV lights which can kill the bacteria, destroys virus, bacteria and other infectious bugs, where ever the light practically falls on. This virus has the tendency to survive for 6 days on solid surfaced and spreads through faces, urine, vomit and blood. The aim of this robot is to eliminate any potential source for virus spreading.

This robot has the capability to clean an entire hospital within 5 minutes and also destroy the Ebola virus. It has the capacity to scatter 1.5 pulses every second in every direction to kill the virus.

Uses of this Robot: 

This robot will be mainly used to protect the healthcare workers in the hospitals, so that they are healthy to treat the ailing patients. According to Mark Stibich, Xenex’s chief science officer, they are ultimately aiming to ensure that the virus doesn’t spread outside the hospital. The company is in touch with government and other agencies to find out ways to tackle the situation in Africa.

What is the Advantage? 

Currently, most of the hospitals are spraying chlorine on these workers, but it can’t guarantee complete disinfection. UV rays will ensure that nothing is missed out. Although currently this robot requires manual operation, the company is hoping to make it automatic so that it can send to infected areas to handle the situation. Recent reports have claimed that the use of this robot has reduced the number of infection cases bay nearly 50 percent.

How to Stop Android Devices from Lagging?

As we all know, now-a-days most of the people use Smartphone’s or Android devices for their daily use. Most people spend time playing games on handsets, develop new apps or very useful for developers and for many more purposes. For this reason, all people hate if their smart phone lags or get slower as it interrupts them from their routine work. People have become more impatience now-a-days, so they can’t tolerate a slight delay in their work and the same is going on with the android devices.

There are many reasons causing the Smartphone’s to lag from their original speed. To cope up with this, the user must first know about the cause of lagging and then be able to fix it for the better functioning of their handset as it used to be before.

With time every the smart phones slows down, so it’s important your devices by following these simple and easy steps and boost your device speed.

Updating the Firmware: 

Your Smartphone’s firmware plays crucial role in fixing up some lags, and other issues without your awareness. So having a regular update of your firmware may help you fix the lagging of your handset ensure its user with better performance.

Put apps into Hibernation: 

Your handset may have tons of apps out of which you might use hardly few. Others may be used occasionally by you. These apps not in use consume more of battery and causes lagging of your device.

So you can put these apps into hibernation and whenever you need them just tap on the app and they will wake up and perform as normal. You can perform this task by using Greenify app.

Once you install this app, click on the + button and tap the apps that you wish to put to sleep and then select Accept button.

Resetting your device: 

Resetting your device is a temporary solution. It helps you to erase everything and brings your phone to the original condition same as you received in the box. But after some days when you start using it, the same lagging problem arises.

Assure that you backup all your important contacts and other important data before heading towards resetting of your device.

Low internal memory: 

Having low internal memory may be the reason behind lagging of your device. So you can use some external storage device like SD card to store media files like songs, videos and other files. This will free your internal storage and prevents your device from lagging.

Some low-end phones come with low internal memories, so they might not observe much difference with this solution.

Rooting: 

Even rooting up your phone can help boost the speed of your Smartphone. This might be a risky one as unsuccessful rooting may brick your phone and if rooted successfully, it might void your handsets warranty. Voiding of warranty might not be the point of concern as you may enroot your phone and restore the warranty again.

After rooting you can over clock your phone’s processor which will boost up the speed of your device but will consume more battery than before.

Conclusion: 

Before performing any of the above steps, it is advisable that you backup your mobile data so that you do not lose any of them during the process.

The Rochester Cloak

Great headway has been done at the University of Rochester in New York by scientist who have created a cheap` invisibility cloak’, in an attempt to hide objects from view. Researchers at the University of Rochester probably were inspired by the invisibility cloak making several attempts with some simple as well as some involving new technologies and with the combination of optical lenses, any object which passes behind a particular line of sight would seem to disappear from view.

This latest creation which has been developed at the University of Rochester has not only overcome the limitations of earlier devices but has also used inexpensive and readily available products in a novel configuration.

This creation which has been dubbed `The Rochester Cloak’, has utilized simplified four lens system which bends light around an object that may be placed in the centre of the chain and one is able to view the normal area in the background, though not the item in the foreground. It can be scaled up with the use of any size lens according to its inventors and the team who have been responsible for the setup have utilised standard off the shelf hardware.

First Device – 3 Dimensional 

According to John Howell, professor of physics at the University of Rochester, several approaches to clocking have been made while the basic idea behind it all was to take light and pass it around something with the idea of it not being there, which is often done with the use of high tech or exotic material.

Howell together with Joseph Choi, a graduate student,by forgoing specialized components, created a combination of four standard lenses which tends to keep the object hidden while the viewer moves up to some degrees away from optimal position of the view.

Choi states that this has been the first device with a three dimensional continuously multi directional cloaking that works in transmitting rays in visible spectrum.Howell states that several designs on cloaking tend to work well when viewed straight on though, if the viewpoint is moved a little, it tends to become visible.

Choi adds further that the previous cloaking devices could also cause the background to shift greatly making the presence of the cloaking device obvious.

Mathematical Formalism for Cloaking

The researches in order to cloak the object as well as leave the background undisturbed tend to determine the type of lens together with the essential power and the precise distance to separate the four lenses.

In order to test their devices, the cloaked object is placed in front of a grid background and as they look through the lenses changing their viewing angle, done by moving from side to side, the grid shifts accordingly as though the cloaking device is not present.

There is no discontinuity in the grid lines behind the cloaked object when compared to the background and the matched grid sizes. Howell and Choi have provided a mathematical formalism for cloaking in a newspaper which was submitted to the journal Optics Express as well as available on arXiv.org, which can work for angles to 15 degrees and above.

A technique known as ABCD matrices is used to explain how light bends when passed through lenses, mirror or any other optical element. For More technology news visit Mono-live often.
