Fearing that too much gorging on spicy delicacies this festive season might leave you breaking the wind in front of anybody and everybody? Well, then here’s a solution for the ’stinky’ problem-pants that absorb the bad wind when people fart!Scientists at a US firm have developed strips of an activated carbon fabric, called Subtle Butt, which, when secured in underwear with self-adhesive strips, can neutralise the gas.

The firm markets a range of products to tackle embarrassing human excretions, such as underarm sweat stains.

Available at 6 pounds for five sheets, the product is flying off the shelves.

A spokeswoman revealed that initially the strips were designed to combat sweat smells.

But the firm’s boss got the idea of its new use after catching a plane from Mexico.

“The passengers had drunk a lot of beer and eaten too many fajitas. The owner had the idea that the fabric could be used to prevent the smells,” The Daily Express quoted her as saying.

She added: “The strips are simply attached to underwear and will filter flatulence all day. Some of our customers say they have waited their whole lives for this product.”

Whenever there is a seminar or a symposium we immediately think of PowerPoint presentations. Power point presentations are very commonly used nowadays for presentations and the software has its own advantages. We always feel pictures talk more than words. PowerPoint presentations allow people to depict their ideas in sequence of pictures displayed as slides. Power point presentation need not be always picture but can also contain the subjects in points which enable people to read it clearly than giving them in congested paragraphs. One more added merit is the animation feature of the PowerPoint presentations where we just need to set the timing after which the slides should change and it is done automatically. Also there are styles and fonts and templates available already based on the presentation and situation where you are going to present it. PowerPoint presentation makes the presentation job easier. Nowadays sophisticated multimedia facilities are available along with Power Point presentations to make life easier. You can add pictures and quotes from books and add it directly to the presentations and make it more informative instead of typing each and every word or drawing the picture all by yourself. You just need to add your creativity and ideas to make the presentations more lively and interactive.

Wireless Power Consortium to Unleash Electronic Gadgets

Friday, December 19th, 2008

The Wireless Power Consortium hopes to make powering portable electronic devices simpler by offering a standard way to recharge them without wires.Devices such as phones, music players and digital cameras all come with their own power adaptors or chargers. Each brand or model seems to have a different plug, incompatible with the others.

Companies such as Fulton Innovation or ConvenientPower aim to replace all those plugs with flat charging panels based on magnetic induction: just laying a device equipped for wireless recharging on the panel is sufficient to charge it. Induction refers to the way in which an oscillating electric current in a coil of wire creates a changing magnetic field around it, which can induce a corresponding electric current in another coil nearby.

Fulton, ConvenientPower and six other electronics companies have formed the Wireless Power Consortium to ensure that we don’t simply swap a plethora of incompatible chargers for a similar number of incompatible wireless chargers, they announced Thursday.

Magnetic induction devices from another two of the consortium members, Philips and Sanyo Electric, neatly illustrate that danger. Philips uses it in chargers for electric toothbrushes, table lights and intimate massagers, while Sanyo Electric offers a wireless charger for the remote control of Nintendo’s Wii game console. However, those chargers are shaped to fit the devices they are sold with, and are not interchangeable.

Beyond their physical form, there are other ways in which magnetic induction chargers from different manufacturers may be incompatible: they may operate at different frequencies, or with inductors of different sizes or impedances — all factors which can limit the current passed between a charger of one brand and a device of another.

The consortium’s first goal is to create an international standard for magnetic induction chargers capable of delivering up to 5 watts of power, enough to recharge a mobile phone in the same time as a wired charger. It will follow that with a standard for more power-hungry devices such as laptops, some of which have power adapters capable of delivering around 100 watts.

The other consortium members are mouse maker Logitech; Shenzhen Sang Fei Consumer Communications, a Chinese company that makes phones for Philips, and chip makers National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments. TI said last month it will make chips that work with Fulton’s eCoupled wireless charging system.

The consortium is open to other manufacturers, and intends to make its specification and logo available to all on a non-discriminatory basis. It hopes to attract manufacturers of mobile phones, music and video players, computer accessories, cameras, remote controls, toys, and games.

Fulton sees a wider market for the technology, as a clean way of delivering power not just to geek gadgets but also to kitchen utensils such as blenders, through wireless power transmitters embedded in counter tops. It was one of two companies that demonstrated magnetic induction chargers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last January. It has since bought the other, Splashpower, which ran into financial difficulties in March.

Stone inscription solves mystery of King Tut’s father

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

New evidence in the form of an inscribed limestone block in Egypt might have solved the mystery about the identity of boy pharaoh King Tutankhamun’s father.The best-known pharaoh of ancient Egypt, King Tut has been puzzling scientists ever since his mummy and treasure-packed tomb was discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter.

“We can now say that Tutankhamun was the child of Akhenaten,” Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told Discovery News.

The finding offers evidence against another leading theory that King Tut was sired by the minor king Smenkhkare.

Hawass discovered the missing part of a broken limestone block a few months ago in a storeroom at el Ashmunein, a village on the west bank of the Nile some 150 miles south of Cairo.

Found among other sandstone slabs in the storeroom of El Ashmunein’s archaeological site, the block was used in the construction of the temple of Thoth during the reign of Ramesses II, who ruled around 1279-1213 B.C.

Once reassembled, the slab has become “an accurate piece of evidence that proves Tut lived in el Amarna with Akhenaten and he married his wife, Ankhesenamun,” while living in el Amarna, Hawass said.

According to Hawass, the block comes from the temple of Aton in Amarna and the forms of the inscribed names clearly date it to the reign of Akhenaten.

The text also suggests that the young Tutankhamun married his father’s daughter - his half sister.

“The block shows the young Tutankhamun and his wife, Ankhesenamun, seated together. The text identifies Tutankhamun as the ‘king’s son of his body, Tutankhaten,’ and his wife as the ‘king’s daughter of his body, Ankhesenaten’,” Hawass said.

“We know that the only king to whom the text could refer as the father of both children is Akhenaten, himself. We know from other sources that Ankhesenamun was the daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Now, because of this block, we can say that Tutankhamun was the child of Akhenaten as well,” he explained.

Doubts also remain about King Tut’s mother.

Scholars have long debated whether he is the son of Kiya, Akhenaten’s minor wife, or Queen Nefertiti, Akhenaten’s other wife.

Egyptian researchers are currently carrying out DNA testing on two mummified fetuses found in King Tut’s tomb, believed to be his offspring.

“If the fetus DNA matches King Tut’s DNA and Ankhesenamun’s DNA, then we would know that they shared the same mother,” Hawass said.

Found: The Dimmest Bulbs in Space

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

A pair of failed stars takes the record of being the dimmest bulbs ever detected, astronomers find.

Each of the substellar objects, called brown dwarfs, is one million times fainter than the sun in total light on the electromagnetic spectrum, and at least one billion times fainter in visible light alone.

A brown dwarf is a compact ball of gas floating freely in space that’s too cool and lightweight to generate the thermonuclear fusion that powers real stars, but too warm and massive to be considered a planet.

“These brown dwarfs are the lowest-power stellar light bulbs in the sky that we know of,” said lead researcher Adam Burgasser, a physicist at MIT.

The findings were published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters on Dec. 10.

Until now, astronomers thought this dim duo was a single, faint brown dwarf. Past research has shown the object is the fifth closest known brown dwarf to us, 17 light-years away toward the constellation Antlia. One light-year is the distance light will travel in a year, or about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).

Here’s how the team found the singlet was actually twins: They observed the object in infrared light using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The data showed that what was still thought to be a single object had a warm atmospheric temperature of 560 to 680 degrees Fahrenheit (293 to 360 degrees Celsius). While this is hundreds of degrees hotter than Jupiter, it’s still downright cold as far as stars go.

In fact, the brown dwarfs, called 2MASS J09393548-2448279, or 2M 0939 for short, are among the coldest brown dwarfs measured so far.

They also estimated the brightness, which they found to be twice what would be expected for a brown dwarf with its particular temperature. The solution: The object must have twice the surface area. So each body shines only half as bright, and each has a mass of 30 to 40 times that of Jupiter.

Burgasser said that studying these objects could help astronomers understand details of brown dwarf structure and evolution.
