◆BaiduChina’s leading search engine companyhas unveiled its own eyewear called Baidu EyeIt is said to be a different product from Google Glass in terms of functionality
The company demonstrated a working prototype on September 3 at its annual Technology Innovation Conference in BeijingIt bears a similarity to Google Glassbut it has no screenInsteadthe device uses a camera to scan objectsand focuses on analyzing information around its user and beaming that to a smart phone
Baidu says the device is designed to support image searchThe company’s CEO Robin Li believes in five years’ timepeople will get used to searching by image and audio rather than textLi has given an example of how one can take advantage of Baidu EyeIf you are in a shopping mall and come across a woman whose skirt looks really attractiveyou take a photo of her skirt using Baidu Eyeand you’ll get to know where to buy one for yourself
According to Kaiser KuoBaidu’s director of international communicationsBaidu Eye can also recognize voice and gestureYou can use voice commandsor gesture commandslike expanding to zoomor circling an object in your field of view with your finger
Baidu is yet to announce a release date or marketing plans for Baidu Eye

◆By 2050 the world’s population is projected to rise to 9 billion from just over 7 billion currently Proponents of genetically modified foods say they are safe and can boost harvests even in bad conditions by protecting against pests weeds and drought This they argue will be essential to meeting the needs of a booming population in decades to come and avoiding starvation
However Doug GurianSherman senior scientist for the food and environment program at the Union of Concerned Scientists an advocacy group said genetic engineering for insect resistance has provided only a modest increase in yields since the 1990s and droughtresistant strains have only modestly reduced losses from drought
Moreover he said conventional crossbreeding or crosspollinating of different varieties for desirable traits along with improved farming is getting better results boosting yields at a lower cost In fact much of the food Americans eat has been genetically modified by those conventional methods over thousands of years before genetic engineering came into practice
Overall genetic engineering does not get nearly the bang for the buck as conventional breeding and improve agricultural practices GurianSherman said His organization advises caution on GM foods and favors labeling though it acknowledges the risks of genetic engineering have sometimes been exaggerated
Andrea Roberto Sonnino chief of research at the UN food agency said total food production at present is enough to feed the entire global population The problem is uneven distribution leaving 870 million suffering from hunger He said world food production will need to increase by 60 percent to meet the demands of 9 billion by 2050 This must be achieved by increasing yields he added because there is little room to expand cultivated land used for agriculture
Genetically modified foods in some instances can help if the individual product has been assessed as safe he said It’s an opportunity that we cannot just miss

Do you prefer coffee or teaThe answer to that question might in part be down to your genesresearch suggests
Scientists say a genetic predisposition to perceiving the bitterness of particular substances appears to nudge us towards one beverage or the other
The studypublished in the Scientific Reports journalinvolved two sets of dataThe first was a large twin study which showed thatat least in those of European ancestryparticular genetic variants are linked to the strength of perception of different tastes one specific variant was associated with slightly higher ratings of bitterness for caffeineanother to greater bitterness for quinine and a third to greater bitterness for a drug known as propylthiouracilor prop
The team found people with a greater genetic predisposition to perceiving the bitterness of caffeine drank a little more coffeebut an increased perception of the bitterness of quinine and prop were linked to a small reduction in coffee drinking
While the effect of perception on your daily coffee intake might be relatively smallonly a 015 cup per day increasefrom a normal caffeine taster to a strong caffeine tasterit actually makes you 20 more likely to become a heavy drinkerdrinking more than four cups per day said Jue Sheng Ongfirst author of the research from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Australia
Our taste genes partially play a role in how much coffeetea or alcohol we drink he saidThe preference towards tea can be seen as a consequence of abstaining from coffeebecause our genes might have made coffee a little too bitter for our palates to handle

◆Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobsThese researchers tinker(修补)with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devicesThey’re the best toys out theresays Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in PittsburghChoset is a roboticista person who designsbuilds or programs robots
When Choset was a kidhe was interested in anything that movedcarstrainsanimalsHe put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them moveLaterin high schoolhe built mobile robots similar to small cars
Hoping to continue working on robotshe studied computer science in collegeBut when he got to graduate school at the Califomia Institute of Technology in PasadenaChoset’s lab mates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars：robotic snakesSome robots can move only forwardbackwardleft and rightBut snakes can twist (扭曲)in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain(形)Snakes are far more interesting than the carsChose t concluded
After he started working at Carnegie MellonChose t and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robotsChoset’s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakessuch as sliding and inching forwardThe robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don’tsuch as rolling
Choset’s snake robots could crawl(爬行)through the grassswim in a pond and even climb a flagpole
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as wellFor some heart surgeriesthe doctor has to open a patient’s chestcutting through the breastboneRecovering from these surgeries can be very painful What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenatia heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical Schoolto investigate the ideaZenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs
A company called Med robotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people
Even after 15 years of working with his team’s creationsI still don’t get bored of watching the motion of my robotsChose t says

◆Here’s a crazy ideaCombine bioprinting and tissue engineering toprintanimal products and tackle some of the planet’s biggest problemsAnimal farmingafter allaccounts for about half of all humancaused greenhouse gasestaking place on onethird of the availablenonfrozen land on EarthAll to feed people’s appetites for 300 million tons of meat a year
Modern Meadow is a Miss ourbased start up that engineers tissues to create labgrown edible meatin a process that eliminates many of the negative environment effects associated with traditional livestock practices
The company claims that by carefully layering mixtures of cells of different types in a specific structureinvitro meat production becomes feasibleIt’s set a shortterm goal of printing as liver of meat around two centimeters by one centimeterand less than half a millimeter thickwhich is edible
The company explains in a submission to the United States Department of Agriculture：The technology has several advantages in comparison to earlier attempts to engineer meat in vitroThe bioink particles can be reproducibly prepared with mixtures of cells of different typePrinting ensures consistent shapewhile postprinting structure formation and maturation in the bioreactor facilitates conditioning
Howeverit admits that the road ahead is strewn with difficultiesThe consumer acceptance of such products may not be without challengesWe expect it will first appeal to culinary earlyadopter consumers and the segment of the vegetarian community that rejects meat for ethical reasonsWith reduction in priceit can reach the masses with religious restrictions on meat consumption(people restricted to HinduKosherHalal diets)and finally populations with limited access to safe meat production
Whatever the final outcomelabgrown edible meat is no longer in the realm of science fictionIt is coming

◆Kenya has east Africa’s largest economy Its capital city is growing quickly but so is the city’s crime rate Thieves in the capital steal an average of 10 cars each day
Kelvin Macharia has invented a tracking device that uses computers and wireless technology to help owners know where their cars are and find them if they are stolen Mr Macharia is just 24 years old He is
the CEO of Sunrise Tracking
He began working on his invention in 2012 Using 300 from his savings he improved a system that
was already being used to find stolen cars His smart antitheft system uses a computer or a mobile phone to
tell owners where their cars are Mr Macharia says if a car is stolen the owner can find it using his tracking
device The owner is able to send a command signal to the vehicle through a text message It immediately
stops the car from moving Experts say this shows the power of security solutions that involve mobile
technology
Mr Macharia used material available in Kenya to make his first tracker device When he was satisfied
with the design he outsourced the making of the device to a factory in China 5 He says his company is now
worth more than 100 000 and has more than 100 companies as clients Tony Wanga is one of those clients
He owns three minibus taxis Car thieves in the capital have targeted these vehicles Mr Wanga bought
trackers for each of his vehicles The trackers cost 250 each He says the trackers tell him where his vehicles
are He says when the tracker is placed in one of his vehicles he can follow its travels as he sits in his office
Mr Macharia continues to develop other security products His other security products include car
alarms and a camera hidden inside a pen And he says he is building a wireless security camera that will be
able to store video information for long periods of time
Mr Macharia hopes his technological innovations give his clients the security and safety they want and
need

◆My mother fought breast cancer for almost a decade and died at 56My children never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she wasWe often speak of Mommy’s mommy and they asked if the same could happen to meI have always told them not to worrybut the truth is I carry a faulty geneBRCA 1which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer
My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancerOnce I knew that this was my realityI decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could
My own process began on Feb2 with a procedure known as a nipple delay which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the areaThis causes some pain and a lot of bruisesbut it increases the chance of saving the nipple
Two weeks later I had the major surgerywhere the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in placeThe operation took eight hours
Nine weeks laterthe final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implantOn April 27I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easyBut it is one I am very happy that I madeMy chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percentI can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer
The cost of testing for BRCA 1 and BRCA 2at more than 3000 in the United Statesremains an obstacle for many womenLife comes with many challengesThe ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of

◆Something else could becoming soon to a vehicle near you：more technologythe kind that could help your car talk to others around itUnlike some proposed cars of the futureit would not actually do the driving for youBut it could warn you about what other drivers are doingThe USgovernment may require this feature in the futurebut it would add to the cost of the car
Vehicles of the future could be cars that talk to the driver and each otherThe USgovernment wants them on the road soonpushing for technology that would warn drivers of danger coming from any direction
It’s called vehicletovehicle technologyCars would send wireless messages to each other within about 300 yardscommunicating information like speeddirection and GPS position ten times per secondWhen cars share this informationthey can account for all the vehicles around themwhich means they are able to identify possible crashes
The technology sees around cornersover hills and through other vehiclesFor examplemy car will tell me that there are five cars just ahead of meand I can slowdown beforehand while the vehicle ahead sends my car a message giving me enough time to react
33000 Americans are killed and 23 million injured in car crashes every yearThe Department of Transportation(Do T)predictstalking cars could prevent up to 80 percent of crashes involving sober drivers
Five major car companies have been working with Do T on developing and testing the technology3000 cars are already using it as part of a government pilot testSome tine after 2016the USgovernment hopes your car will be able to communicate with you
While Do T hopes to make this technology the rule by 2016it will still need the public to weigh in before anything is finalizedNowas for privacythe government says that data sent between cars doesn’t record personal informationso your privacy should not be compromised

◆BaiduChina’s leading search engine companyhas unveiled its own eyewear called Baidu EyeIt is said to be a different product from Google Glass in terms of functionality
The company demonstrated a working prototype on September 3 at its annual Technology Innovation Conference in BeijingIt bears a similarity to Google Glassbut it has no screenInsteadthe device uses a camera to scan objectsand focuses on analyzing information around its user and beaming that to a smart phone
Baidu says the device is designed to support image searchThe company’s CEO Robin Li believes in five years’ timepeople will get used to searching by image and audio rather than textLi has given an example of how one can take advantage of Baidu EyeIf you are in a shopping mall and come across a woman whose skirt looks really attractiveyou take a photo of her skirt using Baidu Eyeand you’ll get to know where to buy one for yourself
According to Kaiser KuoBaidu’s director of international communicationsBaidu Eye can also recognize voice and gestureYou can use voice commandsor gesture commandslike expanding to zoomor circling an object in your field of view with your finger

◆By 2050 the world’s population is projected to rise to 9 billion from just over 7 billion currently Proponents of genetically modified foods say they are safe and can boost harvests even in bad conditions by protecting against pests weeds and drought This they argue will be essential to meeting the needs of a booming population in decades to come and avoiding starvation
However Doug GurianSherman senior scientist for the food and environment program at the Union of Concerned Scientists an advocacy group said genetic engineering for insect resistance has provided only a modest increase in yields since the 1990s and droughtresistant strains have only modestly reduced losses from drought
Moreover he said conventional crossbreeding or crosspollinating of different varieties for desirable traits along with improved farming is getting better results boosting yields at a lower cost In fact much of the food Americans eat has been genetically modified by those conventional methods over thousands of years before genetic engineering came into practice
Overall genetic engineering does not get nearly the bang for the buck as conventional breeding and improve agricultural practices GurianSherman said His organization advises caution on GM foods and favors labeling though it acknowledges the risks of genetic engineering have sometimes been exaggerated
Andrea Roberto Sonnino chief of research at the UN food agency said total food production at present is enough to feed the entire global population The problem is uneven distribution leaving 870 million suffering from hunger He said world food production will need to increase by 60 percent to meet the demands of 9 billion by 2050 This must be achieved by increasing yields he added because there is little room to expand cultivated land used for agriculture
Genetically modified foods in some instances can help if the individual product has been assessed as safe he said It’s an opportunity that we cannot just miss

Do you prefer coffee or teaThe answer to that question might in part be down to your genesresearch suggests
Scientists say a genetic predisposition to perceiving the bitterness of particular substances appears to nudge us towards one beverage or the other
The studypublished in the Scientific Reports journalinvolved two sets of dataThe first was a large twin study which showed thatat least in those of European ancestryparticular genetic variants are linked to the strength of perception of different tastes one specific variant was associated with slightly higher ratings of bitterness for caffeineanother to greater bitterness for quinine and a third to greater bitterness for a drug known as propylthiouracilor prop
The team found people with a greater genetic predisposition to perceiving the bitterness of caffeine drank a little more coffeebut an increased perception of the bitterness of quinine and prop were linked to a small reduction in coffee drinking
While the effect of perception on your daily coffee intake might be relatively smallonly a 015 cup per day increasefrom a normal caffeine taster to a strong caffeine tasterit actually makes you 20 more likely to become a heavy drinkerdrinking more than four cups per day said Jue Sheng Ongfirst author of the research from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Australia
Our taste genes partially play a role in how much coffeetea or alcohol we drink he saidThe preference towards tea can be seen as a consequence of abstaining from coffeebecause our genes might have made coffee a little too bitter for our palates to handle

◆Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobsThese researchers tinker(修补)with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devicesThey’re the best toys out theresays Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in PittsburghChoset is a roboticista person who designsbuilds or programs robots
When Choset was a kidhe was interested in anything that movedcarstrainsanimalsHe put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them moveLaterin high schoolhe built mobile robots similar to small cars
Hoping to continue working on robotshe studied computer science in collegeBut when he got to graduate school at the Califomia Institute of Technology in PasadenaChoset’s lab mates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars：robotic snakesSome robots can move only forwardbackwardleft and rightBut snakes can twist (扭曲)in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain(形)Snakes are far more interesting than the carsChose t concluded
After he started working at Carnegie MellonChose t and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robotsChoset’s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakessuch as sliding and inching forwardThe robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don’tsuch as rolling
Choset’s snake robots could crawl(爬行)through the grassswim in a pond and even climb a flagpole
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as wellFor some heart surgeriesthe doctor has to open a patient’s chestcutting through the breastboneRecovering from these surgeries can be very painful What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenatia heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical Schoolto investigate the ideaZenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs
A company called Med robotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people
Even after 15 years of working with his team’s creationsI still don’t get bored of watching the motion of my robotsChose t says

◆Here’s a crazy ideaCombine bioprinting and tissue engineering toprintanimal products and tackle some of the planet’s biggest problemsAnimal farmingafter allaccounts for about half of all humancaused greenhouse gasestaking place on onethird of the availablenonfrozen land on EarthAll to feed people’s appetites for 300 million tons of meat a year
Modern Meadow is a Miss ourbased start up that engineers tissues to create labgrown edible meatin a process that eliminates many of the negative environment effects associated with traditional livestock practices
The company claims that by carefully layering mixtures of cells of different types in a specific structureinvitro meat production becomes feasibleIt’s set a shortterm goal of printing as liver of meat around two centimeters by one centimeterand less than half a millimeter thickwhich is edible
The company explains in a submission to the United States Department of Agriculture：The technology has several advantages in comparison to earlier attempts to engineer meat in vitroThe bioink particles can be reproducibly prepared with mixtures of cells of different typePrinting ensures consistent shapewhile postprinting structure formation and maturation in the bioreactor facilitates conditioning
Howeverit admits that the road ahead is strewn with difficultiesThe consumer acceptance of such products may not be without challengesWe expect it will first appeal to culinary earlyadopter consumers and the segment of the vegetarian community that rejects meat for ethical reasonsWith reduction in priceit can reach the masses with religious restrictions on meat consumption(people restricted to HinduKosherHalal diets)and finally populations with limited access to safe meat production
Whatever the final outcomelabgrown edible meat is no longer in the realm of science fictionIt is coming

◆Kenya has east Africa’s largest economy Its capital city is growing quickly but so is the city’s crime rate Thieves in the capital steal an average of 10 cars each day
Kelvin Macharia has invented a tracking device that uses computers and wireless technology to help owners know where their cars are and find them if they are stolen Mr Macharia is just 24 years old He is
the CEO of Sunrise Tracking
He began working on his invention in 2012 Using 300 from his savings he improved a system that
was already being used to find stolen cars His smart antitheft system uses a computer or a mobile phone to
tell owners where their cars are Mr Macharia says if a car is stolen the owner can find it using his tracking
device The owner is able to send a command signal to the vehicle through a text message It immediately
stops the car from moving Experts say this shows the power of security solutions that involve mobile
technology
Mr Macharia used material available in Kenya to make his first tracker device When he was satisfied
with the design he outsourced the making of the device to a factory in China 5 He says his company is now
worth more than 100 000 and has more than 100 companies as clients Tony Wanga is one of those clients
He owns three minibus taxis Car thieves in the capital have targeted these vehicles Mr Wanga bought
trackers for each of his vehicles The trackers cost 250 each He says the trackers tell him where his vehicles
are He says when the tracker is placed in one of his vehicles he can follow its travels as he sits in his office
Mr Macharia continues to develop other security products His other security products include car
alarms and a camera hidden inside a pen And he says he is building a wireless security camera that will be
able to store video information for long periods of time
Mr Macharia hopes his technological innovations give his clients the security and safety they want and
need

◆My mother fought breast cancer for almost a decade and died at 56My children never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she wasWe often speak of Mommy’s mommy and they asked if the same could happen to meI have always told them not to worrybut the truth is I carry a faulty geneBRCA 1which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer
My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancerOnce I knew that this was my realityI decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could
My own process began on Feb2 with a procedure known as a nipple delay which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the areaThis causes some pain and a lot of bruisesbut it increases the chance of saving the nipple
Two weeks later I had the major surgerywhere the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in placeThe operation took eight hours
Nine weeks laterthe final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implantOn April 27I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easyBut it is one I am very happy that I madeMy chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percentI can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer
The cost of testing for BRCA 1 and BRCA 2at more than 3000 in the United Statesremains an obstacle for many womenLife comes with many challengesThe ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of

◆Something else could becoming soon to a vehicle near you：more technologythe kind that could help your car talk to others around itUnlike some proposed cars of the futureit would not actually do the driving for youBut it could warn you about what other drivers are doingThe USgovernment may require this feature in the futurebut it would add to the cost of the car
Vehicles of the future could be cars that talk to the driver and each otherThe USgovernment wants them on the road soonpushing for technology that would warn drivers of danger coming from any direction
It’s called vehicletovehicle technologyCars would send wireless messages to each other within about 300 yardscommunicating information like speeddirection and GPS position ten times per secondWhen cars share this informationthey can account for all the vehicles around themwhich means they are able to identify possible crashes
The technology sees around cornersover hills and through other vehiclesFor examplemy car will tell me that there are five cars just ahead of meand I can slowdown beforehand while the vehicle ahead sends my car a message giving me enough time to react
