esources make these decisions difficult. HOMER's optimization and sensitivity analysis algorithms make it easier to evaluate the many possible system configurations. To use HOMER, you provide the model with inputs, which describe technology options, component costs, and resource availability. HOMER uses these inputs to simulate different system configurations, or combinations of components, and generates results that you can view as a list of feasible configurations sorted by net present cost. HOMER also displays simulation results in a wide variety of tables and graphs that help you compare configurations and evaluate them on their economic and technical merits. Soon, they could become even more versatile— with the help ofchewing gum. Scientists report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces a unique sensing device made of gum and carbon nanotubes that can move with your most bendable parts and track your breathing. Most conventional sensors used today are made out of metal. When they’re twisted or pulled too much, they stop working. But for sensors to monitor the full range of a body’s bending and stretching, they need a lot more to give. To meet that need, some researchers have tried developing sensors using stretchy plastics and silicones. But what they gainedin flexibility, they lost in sensitivity. Malcolm Xing and colleagues found a better solution right under their noses—and in their mouths. A L S S Bhargavi IV yr II sem EEE NEW STRETCHABLE, WEARABLE SENSOR MADE WITH CHEWING GUM Body sensors, which were once restricted to doctors’ offices, have come a long way. They now allow any wearer to easily track heart rate, steps and sleep cycles around the clock. To make their supple sensor, a team member chewed a typical piece of gum for 30 min, washed it with ethanol and let it sit overnight. The researchers then added a solution of carbon nanotubes, the sensing material. Simple pulling and folding coaxed the tubes to align properly. Human finger-bending and headturning tests showed the material could keep working with high sensitivity even when strained 530%. The sensor also could detect humidity changes, a feature that could be used to track breathing, which releases water vapor with every exhale.

THE WORLD’S LIGHTEST METAL – MICRO LATTICE Airplane maker Boeing has created the "The Lightest Metal Ever" called Micro Lattice. It is developed by HRL Laboratories in California, made out of 99.9 percent air. It looks like sponge or a mesh and is flexible and strong. It is light enough to be balanced on top of Dandelion, yet It maintains tructural integrity when under stress. This gives high energy absorption with ability to completely recover from compression exceeding 50 percent strain. Its impressive properties makes its use forbattery electrodes, acoustic vibration or shock energy damping. Because of the strength and unprecedented lightness of material, the structural components in planes can be replaced to reduce the weight and make planes more fuel efficient.

Listening Station Instead of pairing with a smartphone and taptap-tapping your way to the right Spotify playlist, you can simply shout “Alexa, play A Charlie Brown Christmas album” and it will. (Echo commands are triggered by the word “Alexa”. Organizing Principles This is where Alexa starts to get handy. You can use Echo to create a to-do list and shopping list. Echo can link with your Google calendar.You can also find out how long it’ll take to get where you’re going (“Alexa, what’s the traffic like?”) and how much you should bundle up before you head out (“Alexa, what’s the weather today?”). The most helpful personal assistant is that Echo works with IFTTT (If This Then That) recipies that create a cross-app cause and effect.dozens of IFTTT Alexa recipes available, including gems like: find your phone by asking Alexa turn on the television. Amazon Echo is versatile, it’s original, it’s weird, it’s useful. Amazon Echo This Year’s Perfect Lazy Gift Echo is a cylindrical Bluetooth speaker that listens when you talk to it. This alone makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys making noise or Sushma. K II Yr II sem CSE B “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” – Goldsmith 6
