Using air to charge cellphones?

 
By abhinavbsbbec at Mon, 2006-07-10 11:44 | Article

All you need to charge your mobile is -- air!

Students at the Department of Industrial Design at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi have attached a turbine with a mobile phone that helps charge it even when the user is travelling, Head of the Department Professor Lalit Kumar Das told PTI.

"The electricity generated by the turbine when moved by wind energy could charge a cellphone in an emergency. It generates electricity to the tune of 3 to 4 watts which is sufficient to charge a mobile phone," he said.

The specially designed turbine, which costs about Rs 200 to be developed inside a laboratory, is so small that it could be easily kept in a pocket, he said.

KOLKATA: Blending cybernetics and principles of the 'gurukul' system of education, a new software claims to help an average student crack exams without burning the midnight oil.

Named 'CLEaRS,' acronym for Compuertised Learning, Evaluation and Review System, the software has been developed by New York-based multinational, Learning Accord (L A).

"The software teaches exactly what the student does not know, what he needs to know and is knowable to him, in the time frame available before his exams," L A CEO Rear Admiral B R Vasanth told PTI.

The software has two versions -- one for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) for students in the U S and Canada and another for Indians taking the board examinations and entrance tests for medical and engineering institutions.

Computer code that exploits a "critical" vulnerability in Windows has been released on the Internet, prompting Microsoft to issue a security advisory.

The attack code takes advantage of a flawed Windows routing and remote access component for which Microsoft released a patch two weeks ago, the company said in its advisory published late on Friday. The company is not aware of any actual cyber attacks that use the exploit code, it said.

Microsoft said: "An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system."

The company urges users to apply the fix delivered with security bulletin MS06-025, which will remove the vulnerability. "We have confirmed that the exploit code does not affect users who have installed the update," Microsoft said.

New Standards For Website Access

New guidelines on how to make websites more user-friendly for disabled people have been developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI).

The work was sponsored by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) after an investigation in April 2004.

The DRC's report into web accessibility found that more than 80% of sites posed barriers to disabled people.

Called PAS 78, the guidance is intended for any organisation that has a public-facing website.

PAS - or Publicly Available Specification - 78 describes itself as a guide to good practice in commissioning accessible websites.
