Enfucell batteries won't power your digital camera, your flashlight or your watch. At 1.5 volts they might be sufficiently powerful, but they don't last long enough. Rather, Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of rfid (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. rfid tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered rfid tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered...
...turn like the one he is contemplating now: to give up on his dream of turning Babylon into an oasis of freedom and democracy and instead begin a staged withdrawal from Iraq, rewrite the mission of the 150,000 U.S. troops there as they begin to draw down, and launch a diplomatic Olympics across the Middle East and between Israel and the Palestinians. Even calling all that a reversal is a misnomer; it would be more like a personality transplant...
...when the kids turned 14, Apted convened them again for "an interim report," 7 Plus Seven. That made the habit official, and every seven years since the British telly audience has watched the tykes grow up and old, take their lumps, fight life to a draw - and talk about almost all of it - in a unique string of bio-docs. The series now comprises 21 (1977), 28 Up (1984), 35 Up (1991), 42: forty two up (1998) and 49 Up (2005), which opened in U.S. theaters last month. The latest essay is now available on DVD from First Run Features...
...demonstrate Harvard’s commitment to the field to potential donors.Once the Faculty commits its resources, the Sanskrit and Indian Studies department (which, incidentally, will benefit from a new name consistent with other regional departments, such as “South Asian Languages and Cultures”) must draw on alumni resources to fund it. (This is how other regional departments at Harvard have successfully grown.) Former University President Lawrence H. Summers was committed to such fundraising efforts, as exemplified by his organizing an alumni conference in Mumbai last year. Yet, the conference failed to raise much support, partially...
...important "art of medicine" issue is sensitivity to the individual's right to self-determination. We work hard to respect patient choice. Lots of explaining, rebutting and cleaning up messes. And as the government should, we draw a line. I won't prescribe cyanide for a patient in pain, even if he asks for it, and the government shouldn't permit home nuclear bomb experiments, even for garage-inventors who promise to be careful...
