03 Technology Friday, September 06, 2019 | www.goantimes.titosgoa.com | 12 Pages Now selfies can keep a check on your BP ISRO a Step Closer to Historic Moon Mission as Lander 'Vikram' Separates from Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter U.S. to monitor people entering the country through fake social media accounts Apple is continuously working on improving the health-related features that it offers with its devices. A new report revealed that researchers have discovered a way to measure the blood pressure without the need for any external hardware. Currently, the Apple iPhone or any other smartphone can measure the blood pressure of the user. But the user needs to use an external device to actually measure the recordings and then send it to the device. The new report revealed that the new technology uses a short selfie video to measure the blood pressure. What is more interesting is that the report states that this is accurate about 95% of the time. This could be a lifechanger as high blood pressure does not showcase any symptoms. Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada and Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University in China posted a proof-of-concept video showcasing a user measuring his blood pressure using a short selfie video. The phone takes about 900 images in 30 seconds to read the blood pressure. The research team took the measurements and then used them to train a machine-learning algorithm which gave them over 95% accuracy. Transdermal optical imaging technology measures the BP by detecting blood flow changes in selfie videos. The sequence of soft landing of Vikram lander on the lunar surface (Image: ISRO) New Delhi: After successfully performing the fifth and final orbit manoeuvre to refine its circular path around the moon on Sunday, Chandrayaan 2 lander, 'Vikram', successfully separated from the orbiter on Monday. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed the development in a tweet. “The Vikram Lander successfully separated from Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter at 1315 hours IST today. The Vikram Lander is currently located in an orbit of 119 km x 127 km. The Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter continues to orbit the Moon in its existing orbit,” ISRO said in a statement. The next maneuver is scheduled for Tuesday between 8:45pm and 9:45pm. The separation of lander 'Vikram' from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter was scheduled between 12:45 pm and 01:45 pm (IST). Following this, there would be two deorbit manoeuvres of lander Hyundai makes micro-mobility easier with folding electric scooter Mounting to your vehicle for charging. After unveiling its redesigned 2020 Sonata, Hyundai has returned with its newest solution for mico-mobility: a foldable electric scooter prototype. Weighing at about 17 pounds, the scooter sees a compact tri-fold design that can be transformed into a briefcase-like size, making it highly portable. Some of its features include a digital display showing battery life and a screen that lets you know how fast you’re going. Thanks to its 10.5 Ah battery, the electric vehicle can travel up to 12 mph and also includes articulated LED lights at the front and rear for nighttime riding. As a final note, the scooter mounts to any Hyundai or Kia vehicle, where it gets charged from the electricity generated from driving. Though no further details have been disclosed about when the new electric scooter will come out or what it will be officially called, stay tuned for more information on its development. 'Vikram' to prepare for its landing in the south polar region of the moon. Chandrayaan-2 satellite began its journey towards the moon, leaving the earth's orbit in the dark hours, on August 14, after a crucial manoeuvre called Trans Lunar Insertion (TLI) carried out by ISRO to place the spacecraft on "Lunar Transfer Trajectory". India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV MkIII-M1, had successfully launched the 3,840-kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into the earth's orbit on July 22. Following the landing, the rover 'Pragyan' will roll out from lander 'Vikram' between 5:30-6:30 am on September 7 an carry out experiments on the lunar surface for a period of one lunar day, which is equal to 14 earth days. India's second lunar expedition would shed light on a completely unexplored section of the Moon, its South Polar region. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers can now use fake social media accounts to monitor immigrants seeking visas, green cards and citizenship. The new plan is a policy change from July that reverses a Homeland Security Department ban that cited privacy issues. A statement from USCIS said the agency will use the fake accounts only “to access social media content that is publicly available to all users of the social media platform,” adding its personnel will respect users' privacy settings and won’t "friend" or "follow" users. USCIS said it doesn’t proactively monitor social media accounts. “We use social media information to investigate an existing request for immigration benefits, as part of our background and security check process,” the statement said. However, the new USCIS policy may violate Facebook's and Twitter’s terms of use, which both prohibit users from creating fake accounts. Dave Maass, a senior investigative researcher for the civil liberties advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation, said the new policy "undermines our trust in social media companies and our ability to communicate and organize and stay in touch with people." Hackers cracked Jack Dorsey's Twitter account using a very simple technique Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey's official Twitter account was hacked on August 30, shocking his followers as his account spewed racial slurs, anti-Semitic tweets, and more offensive content, before all the tweets and retweets were eventually removed. According to an initial Twitter statement, a "security oversight" by the provider let the hackers gain control. Twitter's communications team later clarified that "the phone number associated with the account was compromised due to a security oversight by the mobile provider." The hack appears to be from the same group that attacked a number of account belonging to YouTube celebrities last week on Twitter, including beauty vlogger James Charles, Shane Dawson, and King Bach. Daniel "Keemstar" Keem, who has communicated with the hackers on several occasions, suggested in a tweet that the phone service provider was to blame, and alleged that the company inadvertently allowed hackers to call in and request a SIM card change on behalf of the high-profile accounts. The tactic lines up with Twitter's explanation for the Dorsey hack, which the company said was caused by hackers using a phone number to send the tweets through text messages. Such a tactic is often known as "SIM hacking." It occurs when a hacker tricks a mobile carrier into transferring the victim's cellphone number onto a new phone - one that's owned by the hackers. The hackers can then use Twitter's "text-to-tweet" service to publish tweets on the victim's account. Wired reported that smartphone userscan protect themselves from SIM swapping by adding a passcode to their carrier account or using a third-party app - such as Google Authenticator and Authy- for two-factor authentication.
