Multiple BION implants can be injected directly into the sites requiring stimulating or sensing channels, where they receive power and digital commands by inductive coupling to an externally generated radio-frequency magnetic field. This article describes some of the novel technology required to achieve the required microminiaturization, hermeticity, power efficiency and clinical performance. The BION1 implants are now being used to electrically exercise paralyzed and weak muscles to prevent or reverse disuse atrophy. This modular, wireless approach to interfacing with the peripheral nervous system should facilitate the development of progressively more complex systems required to address a growing range of clinical applications, leading ultimately to synthesizing complete voluntary functions such as reach and grasp. 2001 IPEM.

  • Nacldroid: Native Code Isolation for Android Applications
    NaClDroid: Native Code Isolation for Android Applications Elias Athanasopoulos1, Vasileios P. Kemerlis2, Georgios Portokalidis3, and Angelos D. Keromytis4 1 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] 2 Brown University, Providence, RI, USA [email protected] 3 Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA [email protected] 4 Columbia University, New York, NY, USA [email protected] Abstract. Android apps frequently incorporate third-party libraries that contain native code; this not only facilitates rapid application develop- ment and distribution, but also provides new ways to generate revenue. As a matter of fact, one in two apps in Google Play are linked with a library providing ad network services. However, linking applications with third-party code can have severe security implications: malicious libraries written in native code can exfiltrate sensitive information from a running app, or completely modify the execution runtime, since all native code is mapped inside the same address space with the execution environment, namely the Dalvik/ART VM. We propose NaClDroid, a framework that addresses these problems, while still allowing apps to include third-party code. NaClDroid prevents malicious native-code libraries from hijacking Android applications using Software Fault Isolation. More specifically, we place all native code in a Native Client sandbox that prevents uncon- strained reads, or writes, inside the process address space. NaClDroid has little overhead; for native code running inside the NaCl sandbox the slowdown is less than 10% on average. Keywords: SFI, NaCl, Android 1 Introduction Android is undoubtedly the most rapidly growing platform for mobile devices, with estimates predicting one billion Android-based smartphones shipping in 2017 [12].

After a brief rebound in 2Q, the overall smartphone market returned to a downturn again. The weak shipment was mainly due to: 1) the launch of new iPhone 12, the first 5G handset of Apple, postponed to 4Q; 2) Huawei’s shipment decline caused by the new U.S. ban 915 on its supply chain; in our view. As a few of hot models will be launched in 4Q, including new iPhone 12, Huawei’s Mate 40, and OPPO’s new flagship equipped with the new hybrid optical zoom, we believe the weakness was short-lived and the shipment could recover in 4Q. On the 5G side, the total shipment in mainland China was 44.1mn units in 3Q, down 11.0% QoQ, but the 5G penetration had increased to 60.7% in 3Q from 47.6% last quarter, indicating that 5G has begun to dominate the smartphone market in China.

Abstract-Wearable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are attires and accessories integrating computer and highly developed electronic technologies. The blueprints frequently integrate realistic purposes and facets, but may also have a solely serious or artistic plan Wearable technology is connected to both the field of omnipresent computing and the history and growth of wearable computers. With omnipresent computing, wearable technology reveal the foresight of interweaving technology into the day by day life, of making technology persistent and communication friction less. In this research paper our main emphasis will be on wearable technology called Google glass. We will discuss its features & working. We will further discuss about its applications & alternatives to google glass. I. INTRODUCTION Google glass is a technology which is developed by Google X. It is a types of wearable technology which run on android operating system. Google made it available for glass explorer in april15,2013 for a specific period for $1,500 whereas it became accessible for public on May 15, 2014. Glass imparts information in a Smartphone-like, hands-free set-up. Wearers of Glass interact with the Internet via natural language voice instructions. Google proposed four frame choices. The Google Glass sample bear a resemblance to customary eyeglasses with the lens substitute by ahead-up display. The invention began testing in April 2012. Sergey Brin wore a trial product of the Glass ,Foundation Fighting Blindness event in San Francisco.
