Wi-Fi ''dead zones'' may soon be history

Washington, Sept 26 : Getting away with Wi-Fi "dead zones" in large wireless networks that cover whole neighborhoods or cities can take a toll on your pocket. But now, thanks to a new technology, the whole procedure can be cheap and easy – without any dead zones. 

Usually pre-deployment testing turns out to be so costly that majority of WiFi providers simply build their networks first and fill in the gaps later. 

However, it’s still not easy, because of the paucity of inexpensive techniques for mapping out precisely which areas lack coverage. 

100-year-old problem’s solution may enhance fuel efficiency of cars, planes

Washington, September 26 : Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have opened the door for significant improvements in the fuel efficiency of cars and aeroplanes by solving a century old engineering problem regarding how fluids—such as gasses and liquids—move. 

The researchers say that their new mathematical and experimental work can help predict where the airflow around a vehicle cannot keep up and will detach from it, a phenomenon scientifically known as aerodynamic separation.

Fluid flows affect everything in our world, from blood flow to geophysical convection, and, thus, engineers constantly seek ways of controlling separation in such flows to reduce losses and increase efficiency.

Age-Determining Software On Its Way To Be Launched

Extraordinary software is under the process of creation by University of Illinois, Age-Determining Software On Its Way To Be Launched which can determine your exact age just by looking at your face. 

As reported by Thomas S. Huang, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Illinois, “Age-estimation software is useful in applications where you don't need to specifically identify someone but would like to know their age.”
