a series of articles written for Examiner on the subject of Audio Visual Technology in my native Pittsburgh - the living buiding city. Lots of great stuff.
The light fantastic audio visual in the age of nanotechnology

The light fantastic: Audio-visual technology in the cloud
Claro Holographic Projection TV with speaker setup
Gizmag - Claro
After the winter of 2010, the storm of the century has been transformed into a minor heat wave - I
begin this new examiner column as the wearing of the Green - St. Patrick's day dawns. Technology is
beginning to surpass the wildest visions of science fiction - it is my purpose to look behind the scenes of
these amazing developments and provide insights into the theory and the technology itself ....the
actual fabric of space time.
This 'ubiquity of audio/visual technology' in its 3G/4G networking glory has many phases. What is the
most remarkable and useful A/V systems that you have experienced - please send me a description. The
role of software in this grand phenomenon will not be neglected....either.
Pittsburgh has undergone a remarkable transformation over the decades and is showing signs of
becoming a 'green community'. As the dark cloud of industrial grit is cleansed from its sandstone
churches, libraries, and monuments - a bright green place with an honorable (if troubled past) has
emerged. This is especially true in the marketplace of ideas where communicating with others is the key
to success. Audio/Visual technologies are emerging on a daily basis - these developments are vital to
realizing the full potential of what the millennial generation (also called Generation Green) know as
cloud computing. The virtuality of cyberspace.empowers the tremendous efficiency and high quality of
communication devices; today social networking networks can utilize audio/visual in almost any form
(live or recorded) from almost anywhere on-demand. This alone is a tremendous accomplishment - but
is only the bottom line here.
One organization that has greatly accelerated this potential is the 1400 member Pittsburgh Technology
Council (PTC) which is helping 'Old Allegheny' which hosted the World's G20 Summit to pay for the
infrastructure changes which make this 'green revolution' so timely.....yet expensive. Recreating the
vital industrial base of the Ohio Valley region is no mean feat but one can tune into the PTC Tech Vibe
radio program on KQV Am 1410 and learn about what is going on - Saturdays at 1 P.M...
If there is to be an economic recovery worth talking about then these efforts and energies need to
become highly focused. To help accomplish this the Pittsburgh Technology Council has founded -
an Entrepreneur Resource Center designed to achieve success through collaboration, programming and
exposure - coordinated with sales channels and marketing initiatives and funding available through the
Urban Redevelopment Authority.
2. Green Internet patterns and practices are providing the way to accomplish this; today. The recycling of
electronic devices is a reality in most major appliance 'super stores'. Community relations must be
improved if the potential of this great transformation is to be realized; especially in the vital area of
economic recovery. There is a need to develop community - idea-sharing. This can help to provide the
infrastructure for this. Planning resources are needed to keep regional manufacturers competitive in the
global market. We need to advocate these issues to government and promote action.
green technology - leverage strategic plans to present the region as an energy hub
G20 conference - need for enlightened resource mgmt.
funding sources - investor awareness - intensely competitive business environment
software to produce
Engineering concepts that utilize the quantum field and its nanotechnology - are now integral to all
computers and their audio/visual networking capabilities.
for collaboration - strategic planning research and development
social networking resources and technology
building community - personal introductions and roundtables
Energy strategy for the green building industry
How ideas shape visualization rests squarely upon the ethics of using these technologies for economic
recovery - promoting their introduction into the marketplace. This is essential considering the
discreteness of nanoconvergence - nanomaterial’s, bioengineering, information systems and cognitive
science (psychology). The critical paradigms of sustainability; holistic health; and energy efficiency
underwrite this realization - the realization of a bottom line which can reverse the present downward
spiral of economic stagnation and long term debt. People who live in glass houses should not throw
stones is one adage that comes to mind.
This 'quantum leap' must be synchronized with open source education - those who will perform the
work must understand the basic principles they will be using. It is an important point to remember
when considering nanoconvergent technology in the workplace - look before you leap.
Has the storm caused us to pause for a moment of suspense - perhaps some insight from my own recent
audio/visual experience can help. This morning I watched the 1983 release - Koyaanisqati (Life out of
Balance - from the Hopi language) by Francis Ford Coppola after attending a heartwarming movie - The
Last Station about Tolstoyan society the night before. Changes as vast as the apocalyptic vision of
Koyaanisqati become expedient for survival or as sublime as the messianic one of The Last Train depict a
serious contrast. What can help us 'keep it together' in the immense journey of life and hopefully anchor
our soul. The light fantastic does not have to be a vision of doom - this much generation green and its
millennials are proving....even in the face of our world's biblical proportions.
The Hub - Mobile Infrastructure - Optical WIFI system and Human Ecology
As a student at Penn State University in the days of Jimmy Carter I experienced a rejection of my ideas
and theories......little did they know - they were not my own. One thing I did not forget - the spirit of
cooperation in spite of criticism; could not deter me from seeking to get Mr. President to sign a bill
which was passed by the Congress in 3 separate administrations - The Rural Abandoned Mine Program -
It eventually became the Superfund Project. Yesterday Congress passed a comprehensive Health Care
3. Bill 219-212 in spite of massive campaigns to prevent its passage......health care needs 'rapid
development' of existing technologies.
Real reclamation began within a year of the Presidents signing of the bill and its 35 cents a ton tax on
Coal was more than adequate funding; yet our project had scarcely finished before the Treasury Dept.
impounded our programs funds...and it wasn't until 2002 when Ed Rendell became the Pennsylvania’s
Governor and sued the Federal Government to recover the reclamation funds that recovery and 'healing
of the land' continued. The Superfund sites will receive the management that they require to complete
the job of Environmental Protection. Costs may be a real question here; how would you solve this type
of geophysical information gathering operation?
During this time I also experienced a profound conversion - to seek God emphatically in my life - now
today I can understand what it means where it is written - "Eye has not seen; neither has any ear heard -
the things that God has prepared for those who love him. The power of light should be taken
seriously....Here are laser powered photonic systems which may provide some insight into how these
systems work.
Here are a few new technologies which will greatly affect they way we live and work:
The Wi-Fi connection in the HUB-Robeson Center at Penn State proves that networks in the future could
use lighting systems to help transmit data (Images: Penn State). This virtual networking with in house
infrastructure points to ambiance with environmental resources. University engineers have developed a
system where a high-powered laser diode transmits data by converting electricity into infrared
light, This wireless optical system offers one gigabit per second transmission. Is this an example of
Human Ecology.
Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) has announced the completion of its unified wireless specification
which provides data transmission rates of up to 7 gigabits per second – more than ten times that of
current 802.11 Wi-Fi. “When we launched the WiGig Alliance in May, we announced our plan to
complete the industry’s first unified 60 GHz specification by Q4 2009, and we are proud to deliver on
this promise to the industry,” said Dr. Ali Sadri, president and chairman of the Wireless Gigabit Alliance.
“We’re rapidly paving the way for the introduction of the next generation of high? performance wireless
products – PCs, mobile handsets, TVs and displays, Blue ray disc players, digital cameras and much more.”
Super symmetry is the paradigm of convergence - Mobile Infrastructure developments prove this.
4. At present, Light Blue Optics has a lab-based demonstrator, which converts a standard composite video
signal into high-quality 2D holographic video, in real time. The hologram generation engine runs in a
commercially available FPGA (field-programmable gate array) chip, whose design extends naturally to
cheap mass production. Other processing platforms including low-power digital signal processing (DSP)
ICs are also under development. Blue SCENAR Technology is available right now......the device had its
lineage as part of the Russian Space Program led by Dr. Alexander Karasev who invented the SCENAR, or
Self-Controlled Energo-Neuro-Adaptive Regulation technology. Scenar has been aptly compared to
the 'TriCorder' device of the entertainment medias 'STAR TREK' program.
Summary Results of 50,000 Cases in Russian Literature Percentage Success Rate by Category
1. A device for monitoring, treating and alleviating non-specific disease, injury or handicap by supplying
low-level electrical energy to the body system in a form that may reduce pain, edema and inflammation
in a manner that allows the natural resources of that body to restore homeostasis more rapidly than if it
were left alone......(by) electrical action on the skin surface activating tissues in the "somatic and
autonomous" nervous system...(leading to) the possibility of a therapeutic effect in addition to
mediating pain by the production of endorphins. In simple terms Scenar Treatment is currently
permitted to claim positive efficacy for pain relief and pain management for to use in all countries in the
European Union, and is a 'safe device'.
The fields of Integrative Medicine advocates SCENAR…..see this website.
Building a Enterprise level Business Intelligence system has taken on added dimensions. Holography and
Photonics are converging rapidly with highly developed Virtual Reality Systems to enable technical
training in 'real-time' without the hazard of real world consequences - thereby facilitating education and
training. It's use in remote diagnosis and treatment is thought to be limited at present; due to lack of
experience and professional level certification
5. Scientists don't fully understand how consciousness works Physorg.com
Petroleum has become obselete; audio/visual enthusiasts should be telling the story to your friends and
colleagues. The economic law of 'free market capitalism' demands competition to control inflation and
its greed. America is not a free market system or our economy would be in much better shape than it
is. Waste not - want not! One on-line solution which is available now is - "Better Place delivers the
network and services that make an electric car affordable to buy, easy to use, and amazing to own.".
Counterfeit intelligence agencies inform the public that nanotechnology is 'years away' and 'not yet
practical'......nothing could be further from the truth. Audio/Visual networking technologies have been
using it for many years; sustainable energy technologies like wind, solar, wave and hydro are using it at
an ever accelerating pace - yet America's main stream economy is a decade away from implementation;
Green Building Technologies hold the promise of 500 Billion dollars a year income - where are they;
Internet technologies hold the promise of much more - yet according to a recent Pittsburgh Post
"Gazette article;
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ignores its own study (Berkman) in plan for Internet
Future......"if open access is the key to how so many countries solve the problem of Internet Access and
Speed, it makes no sense to ignore it ". This phenomenon goes back to the Railroad Trust of "The
Robber Barons" which Buckminster Fuller decried in his book - Spaceship Earth; 40 years later his work
with the 'quanta' is yielding technologic innovation on a global scale. As a man thinketh; it is written -
perhaps most people just don't understand these things properly. Think globally - act locally.
"The main message to emerge from all these studies is that when it comes to mesoscopic scales,
common wisdom has to be revised, i.e. the 'rules of the game' concerning textbook electronics have to
be rewritten. From the more applied point-of-view this field constitutes the basis for future micro- and
Nano-electronics." Yuval Gefen - Dept. of Condensed Matter Physics
History is revealed - like the layers of an onion being peeled. Keystone Research; in their 21st century
economic development policy advocates that good jobs and strong industries are developed at home
6. not by providing 'expensive subsidies' to foreign industries. Developing new companies must be the
first priority of local and state government - here in Pennsylvania. Audio Visual communication systems
are a logical candidate for this and their supporting nanotechnogies as well. Cloud Computing is another
mega-development area - consulting; implementation; conversion; training and general education are
all global developments which require local presence. The failed strategy of the FCC and their 'National
Broadband Plan for the future of the internet' will need to be overcome; strategically. Convergence in
the fields of Quantum Computing, Holographic Systems, and Photonics is providing the tools and
concepts necessary for innovation - Laser technology and electrical power systems are another
area where development is mandated.
I am watching the Charlie Rose show on PBS - he is using A/V teleconferencing technology to facilitate
collaboration for a series of Programs about 'The Human Brain' - this installment is about 'Aging and the
Brain'. Aerobic exercise and intellectual activity help to overcome the symptoms of aging is one
consensus of opinion which this group of experts reached. My research into what is termed 'Quantum
Consciousness' agrees with this prognosis as well - QC is problematic to say the least;
So far, no classical theories can explain consciousness in the brain. In light of this lack of understanding,
some researchers suggest that quantum mechanics may play a significant role in the workings of the
mind and the brain. Quantum consciousness theories have always been controversial, and now a recent
study has undercut one more component of these proposals.
Wi-Fi Connection and the potential of Audio/Visual Mi-Fi
Thanks to Verizon and Novatel Wireless for developing the MiFi 2200 Mobile Intelligent Hotspot
It sounds like a nursery rhyme - come and Wi-Fi - I got the MiFi for my 5; but this technology is not
designed only for the simple minded but is complex adaptive; a true multi-faceted
system. Infrastructure and Software Platform Architecture are going to need careful consideration
before implementing - planning is a must. The new electronics have created Cloud Computing and
realized a new concept -Ubiquity - WiFi is the fabric of the cloud. The key to utilizing this technology is
to count the cost of what you already have and decide where you want to go - or need to go in the
future; even today.
Pittsburgh was one of the first major cities to adopt the cloud as a service to its visitors and citizens; this
shows that people here are interested in technologic innovations - in the marketplace. The region is
also becoming a member of the green cities 'PERMACULTURE' phenomenon - which will fulfill its cultural
history in a practical way......the garden party and the building trades workers will co-exist in an aura of
cooperation and commonality. Audio/Visual Technologies are hierarchical and admit to the same
gimmickry and collusion as the rest of the marketplace with one vital difference - they are an integral
part of the communications technology now reaching their full development potential; evaluating them
as part of green tech is important as well.
7. The WebCam, Texting, VoiceIP, and file sharing have given Teleconferencing an aspect of Live
Collaboration - messaging from anywhere at virtually anytime - in virtually any mime format; the merger
of wireless and Bluetooth capabilities make Mobile Networks 'ubiquitous'. This quality enables live
communications and interactivity from remote areas - but not anywhere; of course (you may need a
satellite 'uplink' to complete the teleconferencing; and the cloud grows daily and it's data tsunami too.
Data throughput is an important aspect of Cloud Computing Networks
It's estimated that a single smart phone generates 10 times the volume of data traffic than a
conventional cell phone while a laptop generates a whopping 1,300 times more.
A new report from Cisco (now doing its own market research and analysis because it can), forecasts
that mobile data traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39 times between 2009 and
2014, reaching 3.6 exabytes per month by 2014. And over 60 percent of the world’s mobile data traffic,
they say, will be IP-based video.
Wii - From Wikipedia Nintendo Wii Gaming System with Wii Sports… see this video (see Appendix)
The Wii (????, pronounced /?wi?/, like the pronoun we) is a home video game console released by Nintendo. As a
seventh-generation console......as of March 2010, the Wii leads the generation over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
in worldwide sales, in December 2009 broke the record for best-selling console in a single month in the United
States.
Virtual Reality and Photonics –the new electronics
virtual reality system
A computer-based system that interacts with the user to create a three-dimensional, artificially
simulated world that appears "real.'' Through the use of head-mounted displays, wraparound screens,
audio synthesizers and computerized gloves with sensors, the user can manipulate his/her surroundings
using voice commands, head movements, finger pointing and other natural gestures; it also is called
cyberspace.

8. Virtual Ambiance – ethereal generation – energy flow RCA's Airenergy charger is a virtual energy
'Harvestor' but works remotely providing electronic energy converted from infrared power sources to
cellphones and other 'smart devices'. PDC innovations continue and are accelerating daily - as 3G/4G
networks are empowered; Fiber Optic technology is beginning to reach its full potential this e factor
(Exabyte) is what global networking faces. Information intelligence is a systems operation in which Info
Channels use this new 'unified' protocol and electronic paradigms are developed to conserve bandwidth
and energy usage. Then green IT will be a reality. Systems are the children of this information age and
as the millennials take the stage of human development their importance in maintaining the large
economic infrastructure will increase dramatically.
What does the average PDC cellphone include as main features........power management; video and still
camera; memory and file storage monitoring; IP smart phone; text messaging; application services
synchronization with holographic projection capabilities, IT help desk connectivity w/ Mobile Web
collaboration capabilities. All this at one's fingertips - programmable webcams that support network
equipment?.....that may be needed for large scale projects. Mobile Networks utilize the 802.1 - 802.11n
or whatever.....the unified communications protocol will eliminate a lot of guess work - one to many;
one to one; many to one; many to many such that troubleshooting your networks A/V capabilities will
become the "hidden manna"; this cloud has a silver lining [fabric} - get it.

The Power of Green Technology
Solar power is efficient for everyday use - big changes are taking place in the economics of scale aspect
of the global market place - In Australia for example Technique Solar's expansion into partnership with
public utilities has provided the capital for rapid expansion of an important new technology. Consider
that audio/visual cyberspace is a parallel development to eco-friendly 'green' technology; now beginning
a powerful 'across the board' convergence with it. Another example of public - private partnership
transforming infrastructure to ultra-clean and efficient technologies is ‘Better Place - an Electric car
9. system’ designed to conserve the power grid; end petroleum dependency and provide optimum
transportation services.
National economies develop industries based upon competitive advantages; local expertise and the
quest for excellence. In one sense this reality has not changed - in another sense; the information age
and communications in 'the global village' have leveled the playing field especially in high tech
industries. A local company - Calgon Carbon Corporation, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is
a global leader in services and solutions for making water and air safer and cleaner. As the world's
leader in activated carbon technology and with ultraviolet light disinfection and oxidation expertise,
Calgon Carbon Corporation has pioneered leading-edge purification systems for drinking water,
wastewater, odor control, pollution abatement, and a variety of industrial and commercial
manufacturing processes. Pittsburgh has a mandate to upgrade its waste water collection system - the
traditional shovel and dump truck approach is prohibitively expense; ultra filters and companies like
Calgon hold the key to correct the problems and do so without digging up the city again.
Green Building Technologies are also analytic; elimination of negative energy and energy technologies is
both efficient and effective in maintaining long term healthy living conditions for your family and
community as well. Here is one from EXTECH which the Green Building Industry recommends as an
assessment project.
EMF/ELF Meter - Detect and measures EMF - Electro-Magnetic Field | EMI - Electro-Magnetic
10. Interference RF and ELF. Electromagnetic fields are known to cause health problems and interference
and other electronic equipment. With the CellSensor you will be able to detect and the measure
electromagnetic fields - to find sources to avoid or the cause of interference.
Audio/Visual Hardware is becoming more efficient energy wise and more powerful in terms of capability;
making a remote workplace like the home - an economical and effective choice for conservation. In the
workplace energy efficiency and optic resolution have made a quantum leap.....inquire within.

Let your light shine - a good friday message on holography
4 leaf clovers are extremely rare; so it takes patience and time to find one. Beginning my Examiner
column on St. Patrick's Day has proven to be fortuitous. It is written in the Book of Genesis - man is
made in God's image; after his likeness the human family is formed...so the Bible says and in this
Passover/Easter season - 2010 (the earliest for Easter in a 250 year time cycle) a resemblance which
many are taking seriously. Today is good friday - a solemn day to remember; Jesus is quoted as
admonishing - 'be children of the light' and even states in the gospel of John that: 'God is light'.
11. My hometown of Pittsburgh is known as a leader in business and technology innovations; especially
where 'the cutting edge' is concerned....and of course this is true of many other places in the world -
many of whom are partners with corporate entities in this area. Holography is no exception.
The Future Lies in Holography
"PITTSBURGH -- Small and round, it provides enjoyable, crackle-free, crystal-clear sound, and it set off an
acoustic revolution 25 years ago: the first pop CD to be made from Bayer Material Science's (BMS) high-
tech material Makrolon([R]) polycarbonate (PC) was ABBA's album "The Visitors" in 1982. The compact
disc produced the songs of the Swedish cult band in a sound quality that was totally new at the time, so
that this shiny object totally changed the international music industry.............Researchers at BMS are
already working with companies such as InPhase Technologies of Colorado on holographic storage
media (manufacturing partner: Maxell) which are set to continue the revolution in digital data discs. The
new disc type - called Tapestry(TM) - has a capacity of 300 gigabytes and is currently in its test phase.
Unlike a conventional CD or DVD, data is no longer written and read bit by bit, but stored in the form of
holograms, i.e., in entire data blocks all at once. This means that the read/write process can be
accelerated many times over."
"Digital in-line holography with numerical reconstruction has been developed into a new tool,
specifically for biological applications, that routinely achieves both lateral and depth resolution, at least
at the micron level, in three-dimensional imaging. The experimental and numerical procedures have
been incorporated into a program package with a very fast reconstruction algorithm that is now capable
of real-time reconstruction."
Shroud of Turin (from Garden Tomb) a lens to visualize the world A pure and clean energy movement
All you need to project a 3D holographic image:
The TransScreen™ 3D holographic projection screen
Your high contrast video shot against a black background
Your display area with low to medium ambient light
Your projector yielding 2000 ANSI lumens or more
Tangible hologram projector - 06 Aug 2009
12. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a holographic projector that displays three-dimensional virtual objects
you can feel with your bare hands. Compare this technology with Wii and Microsoft Surface and we have another superb tool
for our audio/visual toolkits.
Holographic audio/visual communications are actually highly developed - many developments are being perfected
currently. The use of light as correspondence for representation needs interpretation and study - as Hillel aptly stated;
"The world stands on three foundations - on study; on service and on benevolence." c/o Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation
The new metaphysics and its Quantum Field Theory depends upon interpretation of physical phenomena - here are two:
Interferometric microscopies - from Wikipedia - see also Broadband Beam Sampler
The hologram keeps the information on the amplitude and phase of the field. Several holograms may
keep information about the same distribution of light, emitted to various directions.
Dynamic holography - from Wikipedia as well
In static holography, recording, developing and reconstructing occur sequentially and a permanent
hologram is produced. There also exist holographic materials which do not need the developing process
and can record a hologram in a very short time. This allows one to use holography to perform some
simple operations in an all-optical way. Examples of applications of such real-time holograms include
phase-conjugate mirrors ("time-reversal" of light), optical cache memories, image processing (pattern
recognition of time-varying images), and optical computing.
An upcoming article will present an acoustic lens which is designed to improve ultrasound and materials
science instrumentation. These powerful implications also serve to 'magnify' a biblical prophecy - 'they
shall beat their swords into plowshares - their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not more lift up
sword against nation - neither shall man learn to make war any more."
Putting it all together - what is your 'green energy' idea?
This is my seventh article - what has been presented........audio visual technologies are an enigma to the
common man. First of all they are far more advanced than 'science' will admit to and this is because of
confusion concerning the actual theory of their operation. As this moment of history becomes more
meaningful to the global village - these 'advancements' are seen in a sublime light:
Neuropathic - Scenar Therapy (using biorhythm feedback)
Wi-Fi communications - cloud computing's silver lining
Green Energy Technologies - on a global scale
Ambience - energy conversion/generation
13. Holography - 3d touch screens - 2D projections
Economic Stimulus using private - public partnership networking
nanoconversion - new features for 3G/4G unified networks
The Pittsburgh region and Pennsylvania in general are blessed with the planning infrastructure
to facilitate this kind of economic development. The Pgh Business Times reports that Idea Forge and
Digital Greenhouse have 'landed' state of Pennsylvania 'Community and Economic Development' funds
to help local entrepreneurs to plan for this hoped for recovery. Here are a few well developed ideas
from Pure Energy Systems and its 'Congress'. As the American nation and
its Appalachian region mourns the loss of coalminers in yet another disaster - a moratorium on ideas
and concepts of science is in order.....because obviously one side of this argument is right and the other
seriously wrong. There is incredible potential for right action.
The spirit exhorts us to 'godliness' and rebukes the seven deadly sins that plague all earthly enterprises -
including social networking - be conscientious in how you use these powerful audio/visual tools and
communication skills; some would exploit human weakness to temptations of 'the flesh' in order to
fleece the unsuspecting.....overcome these impulses and use these technologies for the good of all
yourself included. Send me your idea for a green energy project and I will present it as an examiner
article.
As the millennial generation takes center stage
As the McNeil Report on PBS aptly identified and Morley Safer of 60 minutes proclaimed - the
millennials are taking 'center stage' in history - a positive admonition like 'good and faithful servant' can
easily be applied - especially in their response to the global economic and ecologic crisis. On daily basis
new and incredibly amazing technologies are unveiled - ones that utilize the abundant resources
available to everyone - the oceanic realms and the daily sunshine which lights everyone's path in our
'diurnal' world. Word up - green energy; as even Word Girl would agree; is a quality of conceptuality
and design. Human flight and mobility are two objectives of people since ancient times - here are two
giant steps that are happening today.
Gizmag (gizmag.com) is an excellent source for info about these new technologies. The Solar Impulse
HB SIA fulfilled its moniker of solar powered airplane on its maiden flight over Payerne, Switzerland. Yuji
14. Fujimura and his concept Electric Bike Version 2 has proven that convergence is the rule not the
exception - his design pictured above includes a charging station for electronic equipment - making the
owner of the bicycle a mobile audio/visual studio on the scale of the common man. New concepts
require new designs - often.
This is a long term development scenario - looking at the explosive growth of 3G/4G technologies one
thing becomes evident - all of the major players in the PDC/mobile phone market are offering great
advancements in functionality - across the board; yet there is little difference in these features - why is
this. To this observer the reason must lie behind the scenes at the research and development
level......and how can a global phenomenon like this be so focused. Think globally - act locally; the
unified concept of quantum physics is responsible for the quality of this convergence - no doubt.
Realization of the economic benefits - especially on a large scale; is a matter of planning, strategy,
political support and an intangible quality of desire - which in a community results in dedication to the
purpose of success. My hometown of Pittsburgh which is a cornerstone of many developing industries
has in recent times failed to realize the benefits from important technologies developed in this region:
Skybus......which was realized by the state of California as B.A.R.T. (Bay Area Rapid Transit) was a major
development effort of the public/private partnership between Westinghouse and local government. An
experiment in mass transportation - it was a physical success but never allowed to develop beyond that.
Continuous Caster......an essential improvement in the steel making process - 80% more efficient than all
of the other steel making processes combined. It was sold to China....for a swan song.
Silicon Wafer Solar Power Generation.....another Westinghouse project in partnership with the federal
government which is only now 10-15 years later being developed on a large scale.
There are many more of course.....some even more important perhaps that these but they point to an
establishment of 19th century technologies - which even in their most modern instance cannot claim to
meet the demands of 21st ecologic and economic problems. One idea which has developed through the
failure of the ominous 'old boys network' mindset is the Digital Greenhouse and Idea Factory produced
through a trust which has worked consistently since the earliest dawn of the American Revolution - in
the spirit of entrepreneurship which Benjamin Franklin exemplified. Economic Recovery in a country
like the United States is not a mean feat.....it will require change from the very ground work of
society.....even unto its highest branches. It will also require tough decision making concerning obsolete
technology and redundant financial structures......reenergizing America is a 500 billion dollar
opportunity........across the board.
15. MAC vs. PC; in general things mix - Pittsburgh Universities and the global village
The new second law of thermodynamics states - In general things mix.
One thing that the developments in computing over the two decades which history deems - the
millennium; is that the new 2nd Law of Thermodynamics has been proven - ubiquitously. A new theory
of electronics is being written - but not into textbooks; rather in the global marketplace of
ideas. Originally the Apple Macintosh was the cornerstones along in spite of its competitor the so-called
'micro-computer' which Microsoft utilized to more fully develop the Xerox company's Graphic User
Interface using Berkley's 'nebulous' operating system now called Windows. Today nearly 3 decades later
- who could have predicted the results?
Kyoto Institute of Technology introduced a new photovoltaic cell that is capable of generating electricity
not only from visible light, but from ultraviolet and infrared light as well. Quantum films (using quantum
dots) can image scenes with more pixel resolution, according to their inventors, InVisage Inc., offering
four-times better sensitivity for ultra-high resolution sensors that are cheaper to manufacture.
Apple’s new iPad has already generated an impressive inventory of accessories - this provides Mac users
with a dedicated wireless platform for the new unified protocol. The itab is sitting there waiting to help
run through a song with you, providing a prompt or helping you learn - the iTab songbook is a
performance tool.
The Digital Greenhouse and its association with the Pittsburgh Technology Center are the product of
high level collaboration between the elite universities of the world......the University of Pittsburgh and
Carnegie Mellon University have continued a partnership which spans many decades but today is
become a virtual global campus with campus outreaches on many continents......this effort is focused in
the Pittsburgh area on the medical profession and the implementation of the Human Genome Project
and the development of bioinformatics to give it commutative expressivity. However this global
development has also spawned the advent of bioethics to challenge many of its Genetic Engineering
products - it has also failed to produce economic recovery locally.
16. Using your Audio/Visual tools to communicate
The communication possibilities today are absolutely without measure - it is possible to provide eye
witness type communications from virtually anywhere and in almost any format required. Once again
the Pittsburgh community is making a lasting impression - mainly on the stage of public/private
partnership in 'venture capitalism'. Innovation Works according to Tech Vibe radio on KQV 1410 AM -
has brought nearly 3/4 of a billion dollars to the Pittsburgh region; much of it going into the industrial
mobile robotic field. This is servo-mechanical systems thinking at its very best.....global economic
development in robotics shows not signs of subsiding. However there is a strict division when applying
these concepts and ideas to living systems where purpose is found - here is an 'on-line' book which deals
in much more depth with these 'age-old' ideas.
HTC alternative – here is an excellent review of one aspect of choice in the 3G/4G networking tools.
HTC Desire vs. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 iPad Launch Party
Here is an example of this technology – the mobile web; which is available off the shelf and free of
charge via Windows Live literally from a walk through the woods straight onto the internet.......To save a
special natural sanctuary where people can walk their dogs and enjoy the joy of a natural habitat at any
time of the year.....is very important - that is why American Indian Ethics require that each of us thinks
of seven generations when we make decisions about 'Mother Earth' and her children.
I am not a reactionary; so as a progressive I am sorry to learn that Westinghouse is being revived but not
as the cutting edge technology provider that it’s history recounts but as a servant to the fossil fuel
industry in its interfacing with Power Utility Industries. This is sad – not only because of the lost
opportunity for real progress that this usurpation of purpose envisions but also because of the waste of
talent and elite resources which carbon based fuels represent.
Newton's cradle – this child’s toy inspired a technologic innovation of the first magnitude
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have built a device that produces highly
focused, high-amplitude acoustic signals dubbed "sound bullets."
17. "Called a nonlinear acoustic lens, the device could produce acoustic images superior to conventional
medical ultrasound imaging, probe for damage in the interior of nontransparent objects like bridges,
ship hulls, and airplane wings, and be used to develop non-invasive scalpels."
This ‘quantum effect’ is also found in classical physics as well – the difference being linear vs non-linear
and the use of ‘phonon ‘ energy – acoustic waves focused by a composite lens – the construction
engineering and design concepts of which coalesce into an important instrument for many different
kinds of analysis – essentially ‘materials science’ and ultra-sound imaging.
10 technologies that will change the World - this list is not the technology which I would choose to
actually change the world - because it requires a fundamental departure from the ground state of
nature and its bounteous goodness. Also I believe that many traditional interpretations of quantum
physics and classical physics as well are simple wrong - and this idea is not my own but the same
argument which the founders encountered in the development of our modern technology.
I like your smiling face - appreciation for the millennials
The beauty of the internet and its cyberspace is that seeing can also be believing - these developments
which are being revealed for practical use are only the sign of what lies ahead. It is also important to
realize the historical perspective of green energy as well; this could save us the trouble of expecting too
much when what is being offered is truly sufficient.

A trusted spiritual leader once confided in me - "I would rather be alive now; than at any other time
period in history." Of course everybody should feel this way - but the present moment reminds me to
appreciate why I believe in the first place. The things that have been shown in the first ten articles are
indeed true and no less compelling as every day passes - no kidding; a vision of the future is being
presented - in real time. If we want to add some audio affects for your listening pleasure they click on

Green Energy is a concept based upon the idea that light is most sublime - the idea of a Green
Generation - for: none is too young and no one too old.........everyone belongs. Write a song - tell a
story; join a spiritual cause - save yourself and the ones you love; this is your acceptable duty - like
joining the Coast Guard or dedicating oneself to a more perfect understanding of things in general. My
general theme topic of Pittsburgh Audio/Visual Examiner requires me to 'examine' Pittsburgh - an era is
passing slowly in my home town; it causes me some emotional pain to consider what could have been -
few remember that Buckminster Fuller
18. The Igloo as it was 'christened' - is a Geodesic Dome the Fairhaven Greenway
and his Geodesic Dome were the vision behind the Civic Arena - "some want to save it' - with this
'new quantum technology' this could prove expedient. Just make sure that you plan for its use in your
networks of the future - economy and efficiency may well prove to be the keys to financial survival.
The Tech Vibe Radio program once again delivered something to think about - if economic recovery and
future developments are important to you. The reason why quantum physics and its nanotechnology
are producing these inventions is the perfection of abstract concepts – which utilize physical perfection
as well......the concept of convergence. ''The legacy of Westinghouse is still an important part of the
Pittsburgh research and development scene - specifically in the realm of "thin film coatings" and as Mr.
Lesker advised the listeners "now remember - these films are measured in Angstrom units - that is one
t/1,000,000th of a millimeter - the technology that produces this technology is a great accomplishment
in itself - Lesker's Vacuum System is advancing Quantum Science by leaps and bounds with nearly
30,000 products worldwide at this writing. So when we go to sleep tonight say some prayers for the
23,000 people working on the Deepwater Horizon Disaster - their fathers and grandfathers might have
listened to Zenner and Fuller (in some cases they did).......subsequently a lot of waste would have been
averted and conservation used wisely and profitably. Conflicts based upon need and greed would be
relegated to the realm of "to be forgotten" but not until this immense crisis and its cleanup is complete.
I don't want to appear facetious - but the future is now
It is not a good thing to 'rub salt into the wound' - if petroleum is indeed an impediment to progress and
if recent history is a good measure - extremely dangerous for this planet's well-being. Deepwater
Horizon like the Exxon Valdez and numerous oil spill disasters worldwide actually needs intercession by
the U.S. Congress to insure that BP will 'soak up' the entire cost of their disaster in the Gulf of
Mexico. Catastrophic events like this ongoing disaster (generating the greatest cleanup response in
history) happen because 'powers that be' in general mismanage the risk involved by pretending that it
doesn't exist or is somehow less than it really is. The truth about BP and its relationship to the drilling
company () accentuates this lack of vision and lack of respect for proper safety and operational
safeguards - costing 14 men their lives. The future is now - the global village needs to greatly
accelerate the conversion of transportation and power production into sustainable and manageable
technologies - these technologies are available today.
19. The GM EV - concept car is needed NOW Nanotechnology mimics platinum Feul Cell
Bioenergy is the bottom line for this green technology - can you believe it..........there is transportation
technology which is based upon the concept of photosynthesis - here is a quote from the GIZMAG
article: “We hope that it is possible for man, vehicle and Nature to blend into one by 2030, and achieve
a truly harmonious co-existence between man and Nature,” Dr. Liu Qihua of SAIC's Shanghai Automotive
Technical Center said to the journalist.
Innovative energy conversion technology The design of the concept vehicle “YeZ” takes electricity as its
main source of power, and the technical core is the natural energy conversion technology, which
includes the photoelectric conversion technology, wind power conversion technology and carbon
dioxide absorption and conversion technology
.
SAIC YeZ Concept Car inhales C02, emits oxygen - this technology is being tested TODAY
The Pittsburgh region knows all about Energy and its Greed - being victimized by King Coal these nearly
two centuries......dirt is not air; fire is not necessarily light. The world needs to learn and understand the
difference.
Mr. President - your re - election is looking dim
The old Iroquois legend of Hondegayas (Conotocarious) is certainly true of the “Millennium Presidents”
and as with most of the ‘puffed up’ chief executives of the U.S.A is prone to making foolish and rash
decisions based on ‘misinformation’ generated by their political opponents. Know your enemies?
20. Mr. President taking the oath of office. United Press International UK Guardian
According to legitimate sources the Deepwater Horizon disaster was committed with deliberate
intent. Our president Barak Obama doesn't want to understand this - while he is busy trying to change
traditional morality for our military (which is already quite liberal for a Christian nation) the same
criminals who have failed the American people for the past 150 years have once again using the
Executive Branch of government as a shield (immunity from prosecution) for their crimes and as the lead
financial source for just retribution for their incompetence. Mr. Obama has been given a golden
opportunity to change the course of history – one highlight is emerging; he has ceased from pandering
to the ultra-rich and will change financial accountancy - for the better. Mr. President here is a message
from the 'trenches' - of the war against environmental degradation:
Hold BP, Halliburton and TransOcean Fully Responsible For the Gulf Oil Catastrophe
Barak Obama will be defeated in the 2012 elections if he continues to pursue his current course of
decision making - even though his presidency shows great promise. BP and Trans-Oceanic could have
prevented this incident - which will become one of the worst ecologic disasters in our planets tragic
history - the question is why the government allows them to get away with it. Regarding Israel - it is
written "I will bless those who bless you but I will curse those who curse you!" - It is also written - he
who touches Israel touches the apple of God's eye.
Super Nova 1987a is a 'cosmic event' which corresponds to the millennia celebrations
Pittsburgh has been the source of some 'counterfeit intelligent' over the past few decades but has
succeeded in protecting its roots by preserving the first newspaper of the 'west' - The Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette; where this author's father worked - for 50 years as a pressman. The head of the Ohio
Valley region is today noted for its parochial attitude towards justice and provincial political graft - but
this was not always the case. If Audio/Visual collections are any consideration of history then Drop of
Light Communications has a small collection of historic DVD's that give insight into the early and ongoing
21. history of this region which includes both the Indian People - colonial powers and the American
revolution......A new book on this subject - The Point of Pittsburgh: Production and Struggle at the Forks
of the Ohio By Charles McCollester for the sake of argument this excellent work can be compared to
another one which includes this 'hidden manna' - essential history; Wampum Belts and Peace Trees
(Hardcover) by Gregory Schaaf. Obama made a good show at the G20 conference even if it were for
show.......the proverbial ‘third world’ can be encouraged and find some help on this horizon.
History in a world such as ours is a contentious subject - the question of America and its secret
government will one day - be a serious bone of contention; too bad that the criminals who run this
harlequin charade will never be brought to justice; not earthly justice anyway.
The new metaphysics requires a quantum leap in reasoning
Salonverte - Paris airshow 2010 Gizmag - courtesy of
One adage of the American Indian people which is found in other cultures as well is the idea of "don't
judge another person until you've 'walked a mile in his moccasins (shoes)." This article from Gizmag
illuminates the present moment in history superbly - yet man has his feet in quicksand. Just like what
happened on millennium day 2000 the ecologic disaster known as Deepwater Horizon keeps attention
focused upon the failed policies and technologies of the past.....let us not be fooled by the 'God of this
World' - read the Book of Job (not written by the children of Israel - but adopted as a testimony of God's
love for everyone).........by Jove. The millennia are real - time is no illusion; put your trust in the Lord
while he still can be found.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Down through the ages an adage of the ancient world has caused tremendous grief to the human family
- 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'; Messiah himself commented upon this passage from the
Torah (or Books of Moses). Yeshua advised those who trusted in him to 'turn the other cheek' and to do
good to those who hate you and spitefully use you.....for of such are the children of god. This 'millennial
moment' so to speak is bringing forth the fulfillment of both the Torah and the intercession of Messiah.

Nanofilm could bring dead teeth back to life - by Karen Sprey Gizmag
The amazing new dental implant technology nonlinear_acoustic_lens (non invasive)
Nanostructured Assemblies for Dental Application
The words "You need root canal treatment" are not what you want to hear when you visit the dentist,
even though millions of teeth are saved every year by the procedure. While the root canal procedure
24. has a high success rate, it still leaves a dead tooth in the mouth. That will change, however, with
scientists reporting development of a Nano-sized dental film that may bring diseased teeth back to life.

Synthetic cornea offers hope to thousands By Tannith Cattermole
The specifications for a synthetic cornea are precise: the synthetic material must bond with the cells of
the surrounding tissue, but it must not bond in the middle optical region of the artificial cornea. The
outer side of the cornea must moisten with tear fluids and allow the eyelid to slide across without
friction. Any deviation from these specifications would decrease the effectiveness of the cornea, impair
sight, and perhaps require a new prosthesis after a short time.
Donor corneas are extremely rare, but for 40,000 people in Europe corneal transplantation from donors
offer the only hope of addressing blindness in one or both eyes. That was, until Dr. Joachim Storsberg of
the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm created the first artificial
cornea, which has been successfully trialed and has been in use now since 2009. For this contribution to
medical science, Dr. Storsberg has been awarded the 2010 Joseph von Fraunhofer Prize.
Audio/Visual technology and the Green Energy Phenomenon
After considerable testing the 75 ton cap of the well head appears to be sealed. - MSNBC
Amazing how republicanism seems to adversely affect the American Workplace - the Obama
administration is learning how to use political pressure to get Congress to act upon the problems which
are affecting the greatest numbers of Americans and can also resolve long term problems which are
capable of preventing a full economic recovery - like Financial Reform. Stuck on stupid; big oil says no to
green jobs. Thanks for answered prayer on this well cap holding.
This author is happy to report that the capping of the deepwater horizon's undersea gusher is a good
omen for what philosophy has long considered as 'consolation'. There is nothing good about this
disaster - it may serve to make people aware of the need for change but it has also wasted valuable
human resources in the development of the new green technology. This technology outclasses its 'rust
belt' precursors by leaps and bounds - on a daily basis the saying "eye has not seen neither has any ear
heard what God has prepared for those who love him' is proven on a great and diverse panorama of
25. social and political fronts - transportation; communications; energy production; medical practice - etc.
etc. My theory is that this is about the Millennia - here is a new book to consider.

A true 3 dimensional Viewer is in development - no special glasses or need to stand like a statue.
The key to Microsoft's experimental system is a peculiar lens that projects the light toward a viewer by
switching on and off light-emitting diodes placed along its bottom edge. Thanks to an optical trick, light
enters through the bottom edge of the lens and then refracts within the lens itself to reach the desired
angle, after which it's finally sent to the viewer. This method also means that unlike traditional
projectors, the structure — including the lens itself — is thin and could be embedded into a standard
LCD display without too much hassle.
This is a great wonder indeed - but how does it compare to thousands of lightening bugs illuminating a

existing base programs. The goal of the youth initiative is to develop new ways to engage youth in
nature and help them achieve an environmental awareness and respect for resources. The initiative
builds upon existing youth education programs in BLM, USGS, FWS, and NPS to instill in youth a life-
long interest in public lands and help prepare the next generation of natural resource professionals.
The initiative includes:
• Environmental Education involving students and teachers and provides outdoor laboratories
• Recreation programs, such as hiking, fishing, wildlife observation, and hunting on public lands
• Youth Conservation Corps providing opportunities for young adults to work on conservation projects
• Volunteer and Community Service Programs for parks, refuges, and other public lands
• Student Career Experience Program, established to support equal employment opportunity
objectives, provide exposure to public service, and promote education
• Student Temporary Employment Program, designed to combine academic study with on-the-job
work experience in parks, refuges, and other public lands

Phipps project green heart || sustainable-landscaping || eco-design
A greener greenhouse. Pretty obvious, right? But when Phipps Conservatory began planning a three-phrase, multi-
year expansion at the turn of the new millennium, "green" building principles and practices had not yet reached
broad public awareness. No model existed for how a major public garden could integrate sustainable building
design, construction and operation into a long-range master plan.
Like many other gardens, Phipps was planning to update the visitor experience and support facilities in our 100+
year-old institution. Initially, the idea of going green was not part of the design. Inspiration to create one of the
world's most energy efficient and sustainable conservatories came from the region's main "green building"
pioneers and advocates. Read more about how Phipps took the lead in this "green" revolution.
Hot off the presses……conservation gets a major boost
In this case Generation Green began as a club chapter at the South Lake Tahoe High School – soon the
Forest Service in its need for people who have both a love for nature and a sound understanding of
living and working in areas where as the 1964 Wilderness Act states – “man is a visitor and does not
stay”. Naturally Lake Tahoe adopted its Generation Green youth with open arms and in the space of
two years had accomplished more with this cooperative effort than 25 years previously......no kidding.
This program is a model which should be adopted across America if not the world.....few would argue
that most young people have little respect for the natural world or desire to care for it.....this is obvious
not only in the state of natural habitats which are not cared for directly by government authorities with
police powers or underfunded and poorly managed. All of the work of conservation is profitable:
seventh generation is one excellent example of this - every aspect of conservation can become efficient
and profitable.....the advent of nanotechnology in biofuels production will insure that this relationship
will remain strong for the foreseeable future – the prevention of forest fires; the improvement of
ecologic quality in prime natural habitats are a first order priority for everyone who breathes oxygen and
needs clean pure water for their health and wellbeing.
The future belongs to the young – this is proverbial; Green Energy Technology and Environmental
Conservation go hand in hand........if our great country is to reach its true potential Generation Green
and its spirit of cooperation and hands on training must be promoted and allowed to succeed – not only
for forest management but for the other changes which our economy must undergo if it is to survive in
the rapidly changing world marketplace.......we have the ideas – now let’s go..
29. What exactly is Generation Green - our most valuable resource!
Slideshow: Jewel of the Sierras - Generation Green
Last summer I had the opportunity to work with the U.S. Forest Service at their Lake Tahoe Basin Mgmt.
Unit in South Lake Tahoe California. The program was a summer camp for the Central California
Consortium’s Generation Green Program. This was no ordinary program but a cooperative effort
between over 300 conservation organizations and the Forest Service to preserve “The Jewel of the
Sierras” – Lake Tahoe. As the focal point of one of North Americas most diverse and spectacular geologic
areas. Its great natural resources offer breath taking wonders to all ages and recreational energies.
These kids had a perfect attitude about their mission of ecologic improvement and fire management
projects. The most incredible and amazing thing about this program is the cooperation with other really
great programs in this area and region - is light years ahead of anything in the rest of the world;
including the impressive cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Lake Tahoe is one of the most
lucrative resort areas on earth - this alone puts an incredible stress upon the natural buffers of its
pristine Alpine environment.
In this case Generation Green began as a club at the South Lake Tahoe High School – soon the Forest
Service in its need for people who have both a love for nature and a sound understanding of living and
working in areas where as the 1964 Wilderness Act states – “man is a visitor and does not
stay”. Naturally Lake Tahoe adopted its Generation Green youth with open arms and in the brief space
of two months had accomplished more with this cooperative effort along the California - Nevada border
than 25 years previously......due to lack of comprehensive cooperation. This program is a model which
should be adopted across America if not the world.....few would argue that many young people have
little respect for the natural world or desire to care for it.....this is obvious not only in the rundown state
of natural habitats which are not cared for directly by government authorities with police powers or are
generally underfunded and poorly managed. All of the work of conservation is profitable: seventh
generation is one excellent example of this - every aspect of conservation can become efficient and
profitable.....the advent of nanotechnology in biofuels production will insure that this relationship will
remain strong for the foreseeable future – the prevention of forest fires; the improvement of ecologic

30. for forest management but for the other changes which our economy must undergo if it is to survive in
the rapidly changing world marketplace.......we have the ideas – now let’s go.

This may be deemed 'way above my head' or sound 'intellectual' but how nature and its ecology manage
to survive and succeed in ever changing environmental conditions and climates is important to every
living things survival. Adaptation is the key - it is more than just knowing the parts of something but
how those parts work and interact together.
a·dap·tive adj. Showing or having a capacity to make fit for new or special situations; flexible; a
successful adjustment.
The success of the Deepwater Horizon cleanup effort reminds me of an experience I had last summer at
Lake Tahoe on the California/Nevada border in which all of the issues of today came into a clear historic
perspective. Here is the story in a more compelling form.
Many computer gurus have discounted the idea of artificial intelligence as self-supporting; yet this
generalized response is due more to the avowed purpose of scientists and engineers to build an
android robot which can think and act independently - much like a few humans do; than the true
31. potential of 'intelligence' in all of its many and variegated modalities. For anyone who read my book
and was appalled at all the errors - I humbly apologize......here is the completed version.....Including the
entire historic period which one might call 'the millennial jubilee'.. Ambient Intelligence and the natural
world is a profound revelation - bioethics required.
It is also an important part of the basic programming that allows all computer languages to function in

Ambiance is such a great idea - too bad it is so poorly understood and appreciated as a concept which
makes life both enjoyable and worthwhile. The living world we inhabit provides this for everyone.....the
failure to recognize this relationship generally leads to violence and destruction.
City Councilman Doug Shields today introduced a bill that would ban Marcellus shale drilling within
Pittsburgh's borders, potentially setting the stage for a legal fight with gas companies. The very idea of
fracking the environment of Pennsylvania and the Appalachian Area in general is the greatest mistake
that the idiotic people of the United States have ever made - this is because of the failure to realize the
potential of green energy - especially as a means to redeem the American Economy from its premature
death. A very good video about this phenomenon - Coal Country speaks volumes of what Marcellus
shale fracking will cause.
33. Intelligence has many facets - perhaps a better way to think about computers and audio/video
networking is information intelligence. It is also written - be not deceived; God is not mocked.....for
whatever a man sows - the same shall he reap. In many ways the U.S. energy production is such
mockery.
The United States government has been deceiving its people since its inception hence the saying of
Abraham Lincoln and his Gettysburg address......in the Pittsburgh region this deception is in the
depiction of Marcellus Shale as somehow beneficial to our economy - this is the biggest lie for many a
year. Destroying the geologic foundations of the world we live upon in order to 'loosen' more carbon
based fuels is not only very dangerous but almost suicidal......Fracking as this process is called is one of
the most dangerous technologies to ever develop.....the federal government claims to have no
information about it - but has 'scheduled' studies...........even while it is being implemented. Just like the
lies about Coal usage in the previous generation - fracking will prove disastrous to what is left of the
viable environment.
A fractal is a complex shape which, when viewed in finer and finer detail, shows itself to be constructed
of ever smaller parts, similar to the original. Just as a stone at the base of a foothill can resemble in
miniature the mountain from which it originally tumbled down, so are fractals self-similar whether one
looks at them from close up or very far away.

Researchers regenerate nerve connections after spinal injury By Darren Quick August 8, 2010
PTEN - mTOR dynamic ontogeny of the nervous system - complex adaptive system
Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation has announced a major breakthrough - about two percent of
Americans – more than six million people – have some form of paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury,
which is due primarily to the interruption of connections between the brain and spinal cord. Such
paralysis and loss of function has long been considered untreatable, but a new approach has, for the
first time, induced robust regeneration of nerve connections that control voluntary movement, showing
the potential for new therapeutic approaches to paralysis and other motor function impairments and
offering hope to sufferers.
Dynamic Interaction of an Integrated Doubly-Fed Induction generator and a Fuel Cell connected to Grid
For the past decade, the deregulation of the electric power industry has created an environment where
traditional generation is being reexamined and new forms of generation are being created. Most likely
wind turbines and fuel cells will be the dominant grid connected distributed generators. This paper
proposes a novel integration of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a fuel cell. With the
proposed scheme, it is possible to inject power from a DC power source like a fuel cell into the AC grid
without using an expensive inverter. The fuel cell is connected across the DC link of the back-back
34. converters of a DFIG and power from the fuel cell is either injected into the generator or the grid
depending upon wind conditions and energy requirements at the site. This is achieved by a low voltage
DC link which also results in considerable savings. Dynamic models of DFIG and fuel cell have been
derived which are used to simulate the proposed integrated system. Vector control schemes to operate
the DFIG both as a power source and as an active filter compensating for harmful harmonics generated
by non-linear loads are described. It has been shown that active and reactive power generated can be
controlled. Power factor correction and reactive power control can also be achieved. Complete system
has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results showing interaction of DFIG and fuel cell with
the AC grid have been presented. Power flow between these systems has been analyzed
New-catalyst-makes-electrolyzers-more-efficient
Although wave power is attracting a lot of attention as a renewable energy source, it is possible to
generate power from still water. All you need is electrolyzers, which separates water into its two
components, hydrogen and oxygen, then feeds them into a fuel cell. Electrolyzers, however, require
catalysts to get the process rolling. While hydrogen production catalysts aren’t much of a problem, the
platinum catalysts used for oxygen production are expensive, don’t last very long, and the creation of
them incorporates toxic chemicals. This Monday, however, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) announced the development of a new oxygen production catalyst that is 200 percent more
efficient than platinum. The nickel-borate-based catalyst has been licensed to Sun Catalytix, which is
hoping to be producing safe, super-efficient electrolyzers within two years.
What is a fractal? Here are some definitions:
1) A shape that can be repeatedly subdivided into parts, each of which is a smaller copy of the whole.
Fractals are generally self-similar and independent of scale.
2) A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and so which appears
to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Some of the best examples can be divided into parts, each of which is
similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and they may actually have a
self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of magnification.
3) A term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 to refer to items with fractional dimensions as opposed
to the integer dimensions such as 1, 2 and 3 associated with length, area and volume. This term is often
used to refer to a structure bearing statistically similar details over a wide range of scales. Fractals
describe shapes that are "self-similar" -- that is, shapes that look the same at different magnifications.
To create a fractal, you start with a simple shape and duplicate it successively according to a set of fixed
rules. Oddly enough, such a simple formula for creating shapes can produce very complex structures,
some of which have a striking resemblance to objects that appear in the real world.
4) Fractals share holographic properties.
5) A geometric shape or pattern that is self-similar and has fractional dimensions. Natural phenomena
such as the formation of snowflakes, clouds, mountain ranges, and landscapes involve patterns. Their
pictorial representations are fractals and are usually generated by computers. They are repeated at
every scale and so cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals have statistical self-similarity at
all resolutions and is generated by an infinitely recursive process. An algorithm, or shape, characterized
35. by self-similarity and produced by recursive sub-division; more generally the branch of mathematics
named and explored by Benoit Mandelbrot.
6) Fractals are like clouds. When looking at the same cloud some see flowers, others may see bunnies,
or Viking warlords frolicking in the snow. Each person sees something different. What do you see?
the enigma of metaphysics - directly engineering the ambient potential of the vacuum
Adding Whittaker's engineer-able hidden variable theory to classical electro-magnetics, quantum
mechanics, and general relativity produces supersets of each discipline. These supersets are joined by
the common Whittaker subset, producing a unified field theory that is engineer-able and tested.
Examples of fractal properties - From Quantum Theory Made Easy (part one):
Quantum physics
"....shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we
penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated 'basic building blocks', but rather appears
as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always
include the observer in an essential way."
Chaos theory
“The fractal geometry of chaos theory offers a curious picture of wholeness, rather than sheer disorder
or perfectly crafted design -- something between symmetry and anarchy: broken symmetry. These
fractals are like the fragments of a shattered hologram. If a hologram should be broken into pieces, an
approximation of the whole picture could still be seen in each of its many shards. Woolley suggests that
the universe is like the many fragments of a shattered hologram, and scientists can discover secrets of
the whole "enfolded" universe by examining these fractured crystals that are "unfolded" and
consequently accessible to our investigation. Holography, like fractal geometry, is of great practical
value in the compressing and decompressing of digital data and images.
Let's take a moment to regroup. There should be some sense of non-local connection emerging here
entangling Dali's illusions, fractals, spirals, holograms, compaction's dimensions, encoding, symmetry,
asymmetry, broken symmetry, stereograms, and all those ideas yet to materialize. Chaos puts our
fragmented world back together as a crystal of broken symmetries with many facets -- as fractals . We
must come to appreciate the mystery of the diamond mind, which attains its true beauty only when it is
broken by the hand of an artist. These swirling images of the whole raise us to dizzying heights, but the
wholeness we experience is not the limitless expanse of the universe, but a passageway through
creation in which we also have a hand to play.
From Fractals In Nature:
Most mathematics that we study in school is old knowledge. Around 300 B.C. a mathematician by the
name of Euclid organized the geometry we have been studying this year in class. You can thank him for
all the beautiful postulate and theorems that we now have in our math toolboxes. Much of fractal
geometry, however, is new knowledge. Fractal geometry and chaos theory are providing us with a new
way to describe the world. Many objects in nature aren't formed of Euclid’s squares or triangles, but of
more complicated geometric figures. Many natural objects - ferns, clouds, seashells - are shaped like
36. fractals. Fractal geometry is a new language used to describe, model and analyze complex forms found
in nature. Chaos science uses this new fractal geometry.
How it all works:
The basic technique of these fractals can actually be explained without resorting to confusing
mathematical equations and jargon. It's rather simple, really.
First, give every point on the screen a unique number. Now take that number and stick it into a formula;
you'll get a result from the formula. Take that result and stick it back into the formula. Keep doing this
and watch what happens to the numbers you get. Color each point based on what happens.
That's it. Really—that's it. Now, with most formulas it probably won't do much of interest, but with the
formulas used in fractal creation, some interesting things happen. Sometimes the numbers you get by
feeding the results of a formula back into the formula (iterating) explode into enormous numbers, that
just keep getting bigger and bigger. Those points get colored one way. Other times, the numbers "home
in" on a number, getting closer and closer to it. They get colored a different way.
The interesting thing—and the reason fractals work at all—is that sometimes, just a tiny little change in
the number you start with can completely change what happens as you keep iterating the number. And
the boundary between numbers that explode and numbers that home in is complicated and twisted—
it's the shape of the fractal.
The enormous task at hand:
Calculating fractals this way involves a lot of work. A small fractal image—perhaps only 640x480—
contains over 300,000 points. Each of those points may require running a number through the fractal
formula more than 1,000 times. This means the formula has to be computed more than three hundred
million times. And that's a mild example. Extreme images (such as poster-size fractals) can involve more
than one trillion calculations. Fortunately for the impatient among us, modern computers are fast
enough to do the job in a few minutes. Large fractals might take hours or days, but exploring fractals has
never been easier.

People in Western Pennsylvania are experiencing the onslaught of drilling rigs known as Marcellus Shale;

nothing could be further from the truth.......according to Energy and Capital - the real profits are being
taken in the alternative energy power generation and their consumer support industries - read it for
yourself. The police state tactics of the 19th century have returned.....the so-called election results
prove this.

38. Corporate greed has won the day in America and the 'writing is upon the wall' for our future. Diebold
voting machines; untimely death of up and coming political leaders and a generalized inability of the
American people themselves to use their own memory to discern the truth. Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is
no exception to this rule the difference is that freedom has provided an opportunity to make a
difference - out of internet pages of the millennial generation has come the astounding truth of what
the 19th century discerned as quantum physics.
Here is another insight into the truth of this new metaphysics and its relationship to everyday life.
Plastic solar cell technology - with advanced production this technology should be a great success - or
will it?
This spray on technology utilizes the very heart of nanotechnology - single walled nanotubes copolymer
composites provide the nanostructure to embed organic solar cell technology into the substrate - ideal
for rooftop installations using microwave induction into the 'power grid'. What does this have to do
with audio/visual technology - the quantum dot; no less will boost the efficiency of this system beyond
what 'dirty coal and their oil industry masters' can resist the implementation of - 30% of solar radiation
is infrared (heat) this technology will work even on cloudy days. This 'thin-film' technology can also be
used a 'tinting' for windows.
For you gamesters - here is a new board game which demonstrates the fundamentals of magnetism and
superconductivity for educational fun. Ambiance is ambient intelligence - plain and simple; what the
millennia have wrought who can put asunder.......here is my real email address for those who what to
assail these far out ideas. Is it an insult to think that solar photovoltaics where available over 50 years
ago and the U.S. government has been concealing it ever since. Has anyone ever considered that the
reason our government is in constant turmoil is that we are actually broke and the national debt is much
larger than is generally realized. America does not need another bloody tea-party but a green
revolution which the millennials have worked diligently to produce............this alone can 'turn the tide' -
and 'save the day'.
I like your smiling face - your baby can read; WYSIWYG
A good friend of mine once wrote - we must protect the lens through which concepts are visualized. I
am convinced that the new technology for learning entitled - Your Baby Can Read; is a major step
forward in helping children to lead more positive and emotionally fulfilling lives. Here is a literal
smorgasbord of audio visual offerings which promote this viewpoint.
One stipulation at Examiner.com is that my articles should include information about Audio/Visual
technology in Pittsburgh; presently the best I can do is present 'The City of Champions' in a surprising
guise; as a champion of Green Building Engineering - a positive effort is being made to change course in
time for a quickly arriving future which is not necessarily 'progressive'. A small city would hardly seem
the candidate for being a champion of spectator sports in which the 'big buck' normally rules.....yet if
spirit is any indication of results - a can do attitude and an open mind to truth regarding change makes
this city a winner - in spite of itself.
When speaking of spirit - it is normal to consider religious beliefs; America itself has the advantage of
being the cradle for the spirit of brotherhood known as The Brethren......this is where unity is restored
