Forget the batteries, soon your phone can be powered by Wi-Fi

To send a message to charge your phone, or stand on a chair to get the signal soon be a thing of the past.

American engineers recently converted to WiFi signals and power that taps into the 'ambient backscatter' is known as the technology - and has created a prototype rotor.

During the trials, these so-called routers PoWiFi battery away free cameras 17ft (5 meter) power and homeowners' did so without interfering with the speed.

To send a message to charge your phone, or stand on a chair to get the signal soon be a thing of the past. American engineers recently converted to WiFi signals and power that taps into the 'ambient backscatter' is known as the technology - and now the houses have tested a prototype Router

In a recent conference EmTech digital technology demonstration prototype rotor lead engineer Shyam Gollakota but in August by researchers at Washington University was introduced.

His team PoWiFi router installed in six houses and 24 hours for normal Internet access homeowners asked to use it for.

Which is also based on technology known as Wi-Fi backscatter ,, ambient backscatter, wireless signal current 'backscattering' by two battery-free RF communication enables the equipment.

RF power and RF signal-counting computers that crop are small devices that only the use of force.

'Thin air' power

Ambient backscatter a communication medium between the power source and replace the current wireless signal.

The current two wireless signals to communicate by backscattering enables battery-free devices. It's around us that are already widely uses radio frequency signals, since it does not require a dedicated power infrastructure.

The test used is known as a router using a direct current voltage, which was converted into radio waves sent out 'rectifier's.'

A DC-DC converter or the microcontroller needs to match the sensor signal voltage level increase was used to.

Finally, the technology without the need for batteries, instruments and to exchange information reflects the current signal sent by the sensor network data can lead to.

The test used is known as a router using a direct current voltage, which was converted into radio waves sent out 'rectifier's.'

Convert light energy into electrical energy that is similar to how solar panels.

A DC-DC converter or the microcontroller needs to match the sensor signal voltage level increase was used to.

Assistant Professor Gollakota technology to harvest ambient RF energy is not the first, to connect to this website, such as an RFID reader, do not need a dedicated gateway that is the first.

In particular, the re-use their existing Wi-Fi infrastructure for low-power devices to provide connectivity.

It's around us that are already widely uses radio frequency signals, and since it does not require a dedicated power infrastructure.

Four houses from customers, their experience had not been informed of any significant difference. " Said

Home to the user in a significant improvement in page load times and Hulu, Amazon Prime streaming sites including YouTube and mentions on experience.

The original house with five specifications researchers worse was using an inexpensive low-grade router that was mainly because, although explained.

6 user at home for a period of 30 minutes a slight decline in the YouTube viewing experience. " Noted

But researchers from outside sources, it was suggested, then dipped traffic typically found on the network.

In terms of powering the devices, research is a battery free power of the camera can capture an image with the router, the router 17 feet (5 meters) appeared to be every 35 minutes

(Illustrated) + 3The technology first introduced by researchers at Washington University in August but was Gollakota engineer Shyam EmTech Digital conference recently demonstrated prototype router. A router 'rectifier's, using a direct current voltage sends radio waves which are changed.

Four houses from customers' experience of consumers did not perceive any significant difference. " In terms of powering the devices, the truth (left) from a battery could power the camera rotor 17 feet (5 meters) from the router, as well as a battery-free temperature sensor, placed and showed Chargers

It also has a battery powered temperature sensor free.

The team's paper, the 'Wi-Fi devices powering the next billion ", the researchers said: small sensors and mobile computing devices are embedded in everyday objects and environments where there is growing interest in the Internet of things.

A major problem is that they become smaller and more numerous as the power of these devices is how.

Waste is hidden gems

Fantasy 'upcycling' waste without using more energy to create something new is re-used in the process is applied.

Kuala Lumpur: hipster culture, especially the Blessed palette and raw materials using the old and rustic furniture design is brought to life.

The demand for home decoration such as industrial design, furniture made from wastes in the market are starting to gain popularity.

RM20 and RM300, DIY such banners, plastic bottles, diesel drums, wooden pallets and scrap metal made from old and unused items (do it yourself) between product price. Most of the items found in the home or factory rejects, beauty cabinets, tables, chairs and bags are replaced.

Welcome Biji-biji, a social enterprise using recycled materials aim to share innovative ideas and progressive.

Biji-biji initiative workshops, participants explore their creative side and create something new waste get to know the basic tool skills.

The price of RM300 each, these chairs are made from unwanted diesel drums.

Creator and Biji-biji.com, William Kong, according to the builder, 'upcycling', a concept largely reproductions without implementing the waste re-used for energy.

"This is a used item and a bicycle factory in the same product, the materials used to produce again breaks into small sections where recycling is different.

"Upcycling process, however, we need a complete break down of parts means that cycle, to run away. No wasted energy, manpower will be the only means," Kong said.

Internet as a source for creative ideas to help, Kong said the possibilities are endless. Most importantly, they also bring in money.

"We already have diesel drum chair is a sellable product. It was not our idea, but we found in the Internet and tried it out. Plus, there are no copyright in open source.

"For instance, you can also collect plastic bottles to create a good lamp can put together. So all these ideas online or if you Google, pinterest or find them on Instagram can. "



"We used to belt the color specification or the RTD (Road Transport Department) comply with the law. If we did not use them to make bags factory was rejected," he said.

It's the first time in a recent workshop in Biji-biji wooden palette was making her own jewelry box as student Hani Hazira, he was excited.

"I really like it. First, you can save the environment rather than a store ready to buy the item, you can actually do it yourself. You learn something new At the same time can, "said 21-year-old Hani.

To reuse unwanted items not only a unique and creative way, upcycling concept of reducing waste in the long term, the most important thing.

During the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s - -. Human beings to create new things using natural resources and waste began to think there was an issue in those days, however, there were "hundreds of years before this concept as far as is very important since many trees, woods and landfills, but now they are getting less and less. "

Demand for products made from waste, so it's very important to continue upcycling lifestyle Why is it so simple that even though "it. Is., 100,000 people do so, Act 100 , shall be multiplied by 000 times., there will be supply. This waste and at the same time bring benefits to builders and creators is the best way to reduce, "Kong said.

Buk missile rocket downed Russian maker says MH17

All 298 passengers and crew on board the Malaysia Airlines jetliner -- the majority of them Dutch -- died when it was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine last year.

MOSCOW: The Russian firm making missiles similar to the one the West claims downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in Ukraine said on Tuesday the passenger jet was likely hit by a BUK missile system.

All 298 passengers and crew on board the Malaysia Airlines jetliner -- the majority of them Dutch -- died when it was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine last year.

Officials from state-controlled missile producer Almaz-Antey said they could not pinpoint which side shot down the plane, but intimated that the Ukrainian army was responsible as they unveiled their own report into the incident based on publicly available photographs of the wreckage.

"The first stage of our analysis showed that the type of missile system used was a BUK-M1," company official Mikhail Malyshevsky said at a press conference, Russian news agencies reported.

Company officials said that the BUK-M1 missile had not been produced in Russia since 1999 and was in the arsenal of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Almaz-Antey alleged that the missile was probably fired from close to the village of Zaroshchenske to the south of the jet's flight path.

"We cannot comment on who was stationed there" at the time, company director Yan Novikov said.

Ukraine and the West have accused pro-Moscow rebels of shooting down the plane with a BUK missile supplied by Russia.

Russia's defence ministry has denied any involvement and pointed blame at either a Ukrainian missile system or another jet.

Dutch investigators have collected wreckage of the plane and are expected to release a final report into the cause of the crash by around October.

British citizen journalist group Bellingcat released a report on Sunday claiming to show the Russian defence ministry had doctored satellite images to bolster its claims.

"GOD willing, film adaptation, You're The One is set to debut soon. Most likely, it will be shown at the end of this year or early next year.

"Now, the process of filming has been completed except for a slight touch again at the level of editing and other processes to beautify the effect of cinematography," the publisher said.

Asked about the election of the novel as film copies, Kak Ton said that the storyline and intriguing lesson in it is able to make this film as the best film production and cooperation with the parties concerned.

"While travel stories rather 'cliche', but I believe that this novel is its own followers that among its readers. In fact, I am sure, many readers who wanted to watch it visually on a larger screen.

"At the Global Station, we are more selective in choosing manuscripts. Furthermore, I was the one who liked the storyline of love and romance genre. After all, I do not know how to tell them horror movie or action.

"Elections are not a novel to be adapted because we've run out of ideas to produce outstanding work. However, it is the current trend. As an artist, I just want to suspect the viewers in every corner," he said, expect a warm welcome among fans of the novel and the audience in the cinema.

First time with Osman Ali

"The first time you read the story of this novel, I have seen, Osman Ali is the most qualified directors to develop this story very well.

"Remember his films, Ombak Rindu. However, I am measuring the film not only on the basis of the collection, but the storytelling and how Osman took it.

"To me, Osman has a soul that 'soft' and can lull the audience into his work. He is good at emotional games with the audience," he said.

Add Kak Ton, since this film is not yet completed, he only saw only part of the movie ride.

"Thank God, what I saw, it meets my needs and I am very satisfied with the work of Osman although only see parts of it.
