Sleep Therapist improved

with one comment

st-screen1SleepTherapist analyzes your sleep patterns: you will see when and for how long time you were in deep sleep and when you were rolling around. Background noises are visualized also, so you may check if and how they affect your sleep.

SleepTherapist also includes a bio-ergonomic alarm clock. Set the alarm time when you need to wake up, and set the earliest time when alarm should start (e.g. half hour before target). If you are just rolling around in the bed between earliest and target time, the alarm will start and your time is not wasted in bed. So you will have more time in the day, and sleep better the following night…

Place iPhone besides your pillow before going to sleep – you may put it to Airplane mode if you want to ensure no electromagnetic waves. Connect to charger and set auto-lock state to ‘Never’. See your sleep statistics after waking up – you may take a screen shot or save to diary for future reference.

The new and improved Sleep Therapist application – featuring more ergonomic user interface and more help text – for iPhone platform is now available in Apple AppStore, follow this link: Health & Fitness / Sleep Therapist

The Energy Book

without comments

The purpose of this document (electronic book and site) is to raise awareness of the need to act now to secure our future energy supply. 
page1_1
With appropriate awareness of Thorium-fueled nuclear fission technology as a most viable current energy option, and Polywell fusion concept is as a promising future energy option, there is a chance of avoiding a global downturn that would be caused by fast approaching energy scarcity scenario.

The history of world energy consumption is an eye-popping graph: over 60% growth in 25 years. Continuing the path of economic growth is a MUST under current debt-based monetary system.

Stabilizing economies is not an option – and downsizing is even much less so – as without economic growth debts plus interest cannot be paid back, and all money simply disappears from economy.

TeleFOT press article

without comments

On June, 24 and 25 2008, Partners from 24 European organizations gave the “kick-off “ to TeleFOT, a Large Scale Collaborative Project under the Seventh Framework Programme, co-funded with 9,7 million Euro by the European Commission DG Information Society and Media within the strategic objective “ICT for Cooperative Systems”.

Officially started on June 1st 2008, TeleFOT acts in response to a need recognised by the European Commission, namely to test the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task with large fleets of test drivers in real-life driving conditions. In particular, TeleFOT intends to assess the impacts of functions provided by aftermarket and nomadic devices, including future interactive traffic services that will become part of driving environment systems within the next five years.

BroadBit is involved in TeleFOT as responsible of supplying test vehicles with driver activity logging technology.

CAR 2 CAR Demonstration

without comments

Dudenhofen, Germany, 10/22/08 – In the course of its second international forum the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium, in short C2C-CC, has demonstrated manufacturer spanning applications of the Car-to-X-Communication system independent of vehicle-type to a worldwide public for the first time ever.

Results from related EU projects developing cooperative systems technology will be incorporate into future C2C-CC demonstrations as projects results become available. The BroadBit-contributed GeoNet project is a major anticipated building block, providing multi-hop geo-networked information delivery and its IPv6 integration.

With driving demonstrations at the testing areas of the Adam Opel GmbH cars, trucks and motorbikes of the manufacturers involved exemplify traffic situations where the Car-to-X-Communication system can particularly assist the driver, such as at urban crossroads with line-of-sight obstruction where motorbikes, emergency vehicles are approaching Even at construction sites and in situations involving breakdown vans, Car-to-X-Communications is very effective. In lectures and workgroups the participants of the meeting collectively discuss and elaborate the future of Car-to-X-Communication systems.

The world premier will be supported technically by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) who will evaluate the specifications and scenarios used during the interoperability demonstrations in relation to their potential for future use in standardization.
