			<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it is better to see one time than try to imagine things - especially in electronics. When trying to design something in electronics, probably it is a best way to take some sort of circuit simulator and make a simple model of it to see how it works before putting in to real worlds design. If you want to make quite complex circuit simulations, you probably should choose professional Spice based electronic circuit simulation tools. But what if you need a simple &quot;pocket sized? simulator that would remind you simple basics how circuits work, how current flows in one or another situation. For this you should try this Java based circuit simulator. IT can be run directly on the web page or downloaded and started locally. It takes very little space, but has many useful features including: Lots of premade circuits that are ready to run; Customizable animated simulation where you can select current speed, simulation speed or other specific parameters; Scope views; Ability to build your own circuits. Of course it can&apos;t beat the real simulators, but can serve as quick checklist on how things work. This java based circuit simulator seems to be updated constantly with new features and units. Just give a try and see how well you know basic electronics. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[On the quarter-mile walk between his office at the ?cole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne in Switzerland and the nerve center of his research across campus, Henry Markram gets a brisk reminder of the rapidly narrowing gap between human and machine. At one point he passes a museumlike display filled with the relics of old supercomputers, a memorial to their technological limitations. At the end of his trip he confronts his IBM Blue Gene/P-shiny, black, and sloped on one side like a sports car. That new supercomputer is the center?piece of the Blue Brain Project, tasked with simulating every aspect of the workings of a living brain. Markram, the 47-year-old founder and codirector of the Brain Mind Institute at the EPFL, is the project&apos;s leader and cheerleader. A South African neuroscientist, he received his doctorate from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and studied as a Fulbright Scholar at the National Institutes of Health. For the past 15 years he and his team have been collecting data on the neocortex, the part of the brain that lets us think, speak, and remember. The plan is to use the data from these studies to create a comprehensive, three-dimensional simulation of a mammalian brain. Such a digital re-creation that matches all the behaviors and structures of a biological brain would provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the fundamental nature of cognition and of disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. Until recently there was no computer powerful enough to take all our knowledge of the brain and apply it to a model. Blue Gene has changed that. It contains four monolithic, refrigerator-size machines, each of which processes data at a peak speed of 56 tera?flops (teraflops being one trillion floating-point operations per second). At $2 million per rack, this Blue Gene is not cheap, but it is affordable enough to give Markram a shot with this ambitious project. Each of Blue Gene&apos;s more than 16,000 processors is used to simulate approximately one thousand virtual neurons. By getting the neurons to interact with one another, Markram&apos;s team makes the computer operate like a brain. In its trial runs Markram&apos;s Blue Gene has emulated just a single neocortical column in a two-week-old rat. But in principle, the simulated brain will continue to get more and more powerful as it attempts to rival the one in its creator&apos;s head. &quot;We&apos;ve reached the end of phase one, which for us is the proof of concept,&quot; Markram says. &quot;We can, I think, categorically say that it is possible to build a model of the brain.&quot; In fact, he insists that a fully functioning model of a human brain can be built within a decade. Markram spent some time with DISCOVER to explain how.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[An engineering team at Princeton has created an energy-generating device that can be powered by movements of the human body. The team used rubber films made of silicone and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) to harness mechanical energy from body movements and then convert the energy to an electric current. The films were developed by creating PZT nanoribbons (small enough to fit 100 of them side-by-side within the space of a millimeter) and then printing them onto the silicone rubber. By using small, implantable chips, the team believes the rubber could be used to power pacemakers and hearing aids, among other devices. What lured team member Yi Qi to the project was the devices&apos; potential to cut costs. &quot;Think about how much it costs for surgery to replace the battery for a pacemaker,&quot; she says.]]></description>
