| Cleveland court struggling over computer contract | | Posted Friday, January 05, 2007 2:50:58 PM by Blog57 Team | | CLEVELAND Juvenile court judges in Cleveland have learned what happens when you argue with your computer tech guys. The court system is locked in a contract fight with Cincinnati's Proware computer maintenance company. The court is trying to switch to a new contractor and says Proware now has installed software which could disable its computer system. Proware denies that and says its original installed software cannot be shared with a new contractor. Proware attorney William Danko says the disabling software has always been in place and wasn't secretly installed. Court officials are trying to resolve the dispute before the next disabling software deadline is set to go off January 31st. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

| | | Sensor-to-computer interface units | | Posted Wednesday, December 13, 2006 12:52:06 PM by Blog57 Team | | Advantech's ADAM-4000 series modules are compact, versatile sensor-to-computer interface units designed for reliable operation in harsh environments. Their built-in microprocessors, encased in rugged industrial grade plastic, independently provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O, data display and RS485 communication. ADAM-4000 modules accommodate multiple types and ranges of analog input. Both type and range can be remotely selected by issuing commands from the host computer. One type of module satisfies different tasks, simplifying design and maintenance. A single type of module can handle the measurement needs of an entire plant. A watchdog timer automatically resets the modules if required, and since all modules are remotely configured by the host computer, physical adjustments are unnecessary.... | |

| | | Phase plane projections in computer algorithms show it is possible to detach time from spatial dimensions | | Posted Monday, November 13, 2006 2:55:01 AM by Blog57 Team | | Scientists are using something called phase plane projections and simulating the effects using super computer driven complex algorithms. It is clear now that time and space does separate out in the areas where there are singularities in a black hole. It is also clearly evident that time can be easily reversed at those mathematically real complex areas. The whole issue came to light while solving complex higher order differential equations. Scientists and engineers have used qualitative approach to solve these problems as they become very complex to handle numerically. But the availability of fast computers and super smart numerical analysis algorithms are making it possible to go deep into the heart of the complex zones and simulate what really happens there. The simulation is showing detachment of time and space.... | |

| | | Experts analysing computer data | | Posted Monday, November 06, 2006 2:54:49 PM by Blog57 Team | | Experts were ascertaining if the computer seized by the police during a raid here was used by Mohammed Fahad, one of the two Pakistani militants arrested in Mysore recently, for carrying out covert transactions with the Al-Badr terror outfit and for sending e-mails to Pakistan. "We are in the process of finding out if the computer was used by Fahad during his stay here to send e-mail messages to Pakistan and other activities like communicating with Al Badr outfit," Police Commissioner Balramkumar Upadhyaya told reporters. However, he said, the seized material would soon be produced in the court and all actions would be carried out legally. He replied in the negative when asked if any arrests had been made since the seizure of the computer last night. The computer was reportedly shifted to a neighbouring house from the residence of the first wife of Fahad's father at Kappad near here.... | |
