COMPUTER-ASSISTED TRANSLATION

 Spell checkers, either built into word processing software, or add-on programs.  Grammar checkers, again either built into word processing software, or add-on programs.  Terminology managers, allowing the translator to manage his own terminology bank in an electronic form. Dictionaries on CD-ROM, either unilingual or bilingual.  Full-text search tools (or indexers), which allow the user to query already translated texts or reference documents of various kinds. In the translation industry one finds such indexers as Natural, ISYS Search Software and dtSearch.  Bitexts, a fairly recent development, the result of merging a source text and its translation, which can then be analyzed using a full-text search tool or a concordancer.  Translation memory managers (TMM), tools consisting of a database of text segments in a source language and their translations in one or more target languages.

COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING

 Computer-Based Trainings (CBTs) are self-paced learning activities accessible via a computer or handheld device.  CBTs typically present content in a linear fashion, much like reading an online book or manual. For this reason they are often used to teach static processes, such as using software or completing mathematical equations.  The term Computer-Based Training is often used interchangeably with Web-based training (WBT) with the primary difference being the delivery method.  CBTs provide learning stimulus beyond traditional learning methodology from textbook, manual, or classroom-based instruction. For example, CBTs offer user- friendly solutions for satisfying continuing education requirements.  CBTs can be a good alternative to printed learning materials since rich media, including videos or animations, can easily be embedded to enhance the learning.  Another advantage to CBTs are that they can be easily distributed to a wide audience at a relatively low cost once the initial development is completed.

Microsoft Confirms Critical Ie Bug, Works On Fix  Microsoft late Wednesday confirmed that all versions of Internet Explorer (IE) contain a critical vulnerability that attackers can exploit by persuading users to visit a rigged Web site.  Although the company said it would patch the problem, it is not planning to rush out an emergency update.  "The issue does not currently meet the criteria for an out-of-band release," said Carlene Chmaj, a spokeswoman for the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), in an entry on the center's blog. "However, we are monitoring the threat landscape very closely and if the situation changes, we will post updates."  Chmaj also downplayed the threat posed by the bug. "Currently the impact of this vulnerability is limited and we are not aware of any affected customers or active attacks targeting customers," she said.  The vulnerability in IE6, IE7 and IE8 surfaced several weeks ago when French security firm Vupen disclosed a flaw in IE's HTML engine. Tuesday, researchers posted a video demonstration of an attack, and added a reliable exploit to the Metasploit penetration toolkit.  That exploit used a technique revealed earlier this year by McAfee researchers that defeats a pair of important Windows defensive technologies -- ASLR (address

News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 03.01.2011 Beast Trojan- Most Dangerous Computer Virus

 Beast is a Windows-based backdoor trojan horse more commonly known in the underground "script-kiddie" community as a RAT (Remote Administration Tool).  It is capable of infecting almost all Windows versions i.e. 95 through XP. Written in Delphi and released first by its author Tataye in 2002, it became quite popular due to its unique features.  It used the typical client/server mechanism where the client would be under operation by the attacker and the server is what would infect the victim.  Beast was one of the first trojans to feature a 'reverse connection' to its victims and once established, it gave the attacker complete control over the infected computer.  Using the 'reverse connection' there was no need for the attacker to know the target IP, instead the server itself connected to a predefined DNS, which was redirected to the attacker IP.  Its targeted infection sites were mainly three:

 C:\Windows\msagent\ms****.com (Size ranging from 30KB to 49KB)  C:\Windows\System32\ms****.com (Size ranging from 30KB to 49KB)  C:\Windows\dxdgns.dll or C:\Windows\System32\dxdgns.dll (Location dependent on attacker's choice)

 It also came with a binder that could be used to join two or more files together and then change their icon.

The iPhone and iPad could soon hit Verizon with 4G

 It's been another busy and interesting day when it comes to speculation about Apple's relationship with Verizon both in terms of the carrier getting a CDMA version of the iPhone early next year .  First off, the news about a Verizon iPhone. While speculation's been brewing for months about a CDMA iPhone 4 to deployed on the largest U.S. carrier .  A recent analyst report noted that Verizon was willing to make concessions and put Apple in "the driver's seat" of negotiations in return for promising that exclusivity wouldn't expand beyond Verizon and AT&T, the current exclusive U.S. carrier.  More recently, reports of Verizon's smartphone sales have indicated that the company may need to offer the iPhone if it wants to remain the largest U.S. mobile carrier.  Sales of BlackBerries for Verizon have slipped significantly and while Android has become the lead platform for Verizon, it is becoming accepted wisdom that this is only because Android handsets are the most iPhone-like devices that Verizon can offer.  If true, then it would certainly be in the company's interest to try and secure as exclusive a deal as possible and to give into Apple's demands. In more recent and significant reports, a Verizon iPhone would support LTE, Verizon's 4G-branded service, which went live just over a week ago.

News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 08.01.2011 GRID COMPUTING  Grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal.

 The Grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. What distinguishes grid computing from conventional high performance computing systems such as cluster computing is that grids tend to be more loosely coupled, heterogeneous, and geographically dispersed.

 A grid can be dedicated to a specialized application; Grids are often constructed with the aid of general-purpose grid software libraries known as middleware. Grid size can vary by a considerable amount.

 Grids are a form of distributed computing whereby a ―super virtual computer‖ is composed of many networked loosely coupled computers acting together to perform very large tasks.

 ―Distributed‖ or ―grid‖ computing in general is a special type of parallel computing thatrelies on complete computers (with onboard CPUs, storage, power supplies, network interfaces, etc.) connected to a network (private, public or the Internet) by a conventional network interface, such as Ethernet.

 Apple tried to prevent a father from publicising that his daughter's iPod MP3 player blew up last month, according to new reports today.The Times said that 47 year old Ken Stanborough from Liverpool reported to Apple that his daughter's device had begun to hiss and overheat, so he threw it into the garden where it exploded in a puff of smoke. However, the hardware giant apparently sent Stanborough a letter offering a refund only if he kept the settlement confidential.

 In what appears to be an attempt by Cupertino to hush up any incidents where its devices are seen to have overheated, the firm warned Stanborough that any breach of this confidentiality "may result in Apple seeking injunctive relief, damages and legal costs against the defaulting persons or parties".

 Apple has since told Sky News that it is "standard practice to have a letter of settlement" in these cases, and that it wasn't an attempt to gag the family. You know how they say that there's no such thing as bad publicity? Er, that might not strictly speaking be true.

JAVA CARD

 Java Card refers to a technology that allows Java-based applications (applets) to be run securely on smart cards and similar small memory footprint devices.  Java Card is the tiniest of Java targeted for embedded devices. Java Card gives the user ability to program the device and make them application specific.  It is widely used in SIM cards (used in GSM mobile phones) and ATM cards. The first Java Card was introduced in 1996 by Schlumberger's card division which later merged with Gemplus to form Gemalto. Java Card products are based on the Java Card Platform specifications developed by Sun Microsystems, a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation.  Many Java card products also rely on the GlobalPlatform specifications for the secure management of applications on the card (download, installation, personalization, deletion)  Java Card aims at defining a standard smart card computing environment allowing the same Java Card applet to run on different smart cards, much like a Java applet runs on different computers.  Java Card technology was originally developed for the purpose of securing sensitive information stored on smart cards. Security is determined by various aspects of this technology (Data encapsulation, Applet Firewall, Cryptography, Applet) M.JAGADEESH

AIRBORNE INTERNET  The Airborne Internet is network in which all nodes would be located in aircraft. The network is intended for use in aviation communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) and would also be useful to businesses, private Internet users, and military.

 In time of war, for example, an airborne network might enable military planes to operate without the need for a communications infrastructure on the ground.

 The aircrafts will carry the "hub" of a wireless network having a star topology. The aircrafts will fly in shifts to provide continuous service, 24 hour per day by 7 days per week, with an overall system reliability of 99.9% or greater.

 At least three different methods have been proposed for putting communication nodes aloft. The first method would employ manned aircraft, the second method would use unmanned aircraft, and the third method would use blimps.

 The nodes would provide air-to-air, surface-to-air, and surface-to-surface communications. The aircraft or blimps would fly at altitudes of around 16 km, and would cover regions of about 40 mi (64 mi) in radius.

 Any subscriber within this region will be able to access the network„ ubiquitous multi- gigabit per second "bit cloud" upon demand. What the airborne internet will do is provide an infrastructure that can reach areas that don't have broadband cables & wires.

BUBBLE SENSING

 We propose bubble-sensing, a new sensor network abstraction that allows mobile phone users to create a binding between sensing tasks and the physical world at locations of interest, that remains active for a duration set by the user.  We envision mobile phones being able to affix sensing task bubbles at places of interest and then receive sensed data as it becomes available in a delay-tolerant fashion, in essence, creating a living documentary of places of interest in the physical world.  The system relies on other mobile phones that opportunistically pass through bubble- sensing locations to acquire tasks and do the sensing on behalf of the initiator, and deliver the data to the bubble-sensing server for retrieval by the user who initiated the task.  We describe an implementation of the bubble-sensing system using sensor-enabled mobile phones, specifically, Nokia’s N80 and N95 (with GPS, accelerometers, microphone, camera).  Task bubbles are maintained at locations through the interaction of ‖bubble carriers‖, which carry the sensing task into the area of interest, and ‖bubble anchors‖, which maintain the task bubble in the area when the bubble carrier is no longer present.  In our implementation, bubble carriers and bubble anchors implement a number of simple mobile phone based protocols that refresh the task bubble state as new mobile phones move through the area.

SKY X TECHNOLOGY

Satellites are ideal for providing internet and private network access over long distance and to remote locations.

The Sky X Gateway and Sky X Client/Servers systems replaces TCP over satellite link with a protocol optimized for the long latency, high loss and asymmetric bandwidth conditions of the typical satellite communication.

The Sky X Client and the Sky X Server enhance the performance of data transmissions over satellites directly to end user PC's, thereby increasing Web performance by 3 times or more and file transfer speeds by 10 to 100 timesThe geosynchronous satellites, orbiting at an altitude of 22,300 miles has round trip times of approximately 540 m/s, an order of magnitude larger than terrestrial networks.

The journey through the atmosphere can also introduce bit errors into the data stream. These factors, combined with backchannel bandwidth typically much smaller than that available on the forward channel.

But the satellite conditions adversely interact with a number of elements of the TCP architecture, including it s window sizing, congestion avoidance algorithms, and data acknowledgment mechanisms. R.MEENAKSHI

INFRASECURE

-SOFTWARE TO CUT PC POWER

 An Indian startup See Beyond Technologies (SBT) has developed a software named Infrasecure, which can reduce the power consumption of desktops by 35-40 percent.

 We launched Infrasecure in 2009, and since then we have won 15 large customers in India and the Middle East with an average deal size of 2,500 desktops. MindTree is the largest customer with deployment across 10,000 desktops.

 According to SBT, Infrasecure can save Rs. 24 lakh per annum in electricity costs for a company with 1,000-desktop infrastructure.

 A typical PC uses three units of electricity for the entire day. By using the smart power management features of Infrasecure, the consumption can be reduced by one- third or one unit. At Rs. 5 per unit, this works out to a savings of Rs. 24 lakh per annum for 1,000 nodes. In addition, this amounts to 300 tons of CO2 reduction per annum.

 At Rs. 1,200 for a perpetual license and Rs. 480 per year for a 3-year subscription license, the ROI for a typical 1,000-node customer works out to less than six months. The client can be remotely distributed by using Microsoft’s System Center Manager on desktops with any Windows OS supporting ACPI Power Management.

 It hibernates the desktop when not in use, and also wakes it up at predefined times to run batch schedules like antivirus updates.

POWER MACINTOSH G3  The Power Macintosh G3, commonly called "beige G3s" or "platinum G3s" for the color of their cases, was a series of personal computers designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc.

 It was the first Macintosh to use the PowerPC G3 (PPC750) microprocessor, and replaced a number of earlier Power Macintosh models, in particular the 7300, 8600 and 9600 models.

 The introduction of the Desktop and Minitower G3 models coincided with Apple starting to sell user-configurable Macs directly from its web site in an online store, which was innovative for the time as Dell was the only other major manufacturer then doing this.

 The Power Mac G3 introduced a fast and large Level 2 backside cache to Apple's product lineup, running at half processor speed. As a result, these machines were widely considered to be faster than Intel PCs of similar CPU clock speed at launch, an assertion that was backed up by benchmarks performed by Byte Magazine, which prompted Apple to create the "Snail" and "Toasted Bunnies" television commercials.

 The Power Macintosh G3 was originally intended to be a midrange series, between the low-end Performa/LC models and the six-PCI slot Power Macintosh 9600.

 Apple developed a prototype G3-based six-slot full tower to be designated the Power Macintosh 9700. Despite demand from high-end users for more PCI slots in a G3 powered computer.

TYPES OF COMPUTER VIRUS Virus:  A virus is an independent program that reproduces itself.It can attach itself to other programs and make copies of itself(i.e.,companion viruses).  It can damage or corrupt data, or lower the performance of your system by using resources like memory or disk space. Trojans:  Another unsavory breed of malicious code are Trojans or Trojan horses,which unlike viruses do not reproduce by infecting other files, nor do they self-replicate like worms. Boot Virus:  This type of virus affects the boot sector of a floppy or hard disk.This is a crucial part of a disk, in which information on the disk itself is stored together with a program that makes it possible to boot (start) the computer from the disk. Examples: Poly boot B, Anti EXE . Macro Virus:  Macro viruses infect files that are created using certain application programs that contain macros. These mini-programs make it possible to automate series of operations so that they are performed as a single actions, thereby saving the user from having to carry them one by one.

Hackers turn back the clock with Telnet attacks

 A new report from Akamai Technologies shows that hackers appear to be increasingly using the Telnet remote access protocol to attack corporate servers over mobile networks.  Akamai, which specializes in managing content and Web traffic, issues quarterly reports on Internet traffic trends.  The latest report, which covers the third quarter of 2010, shows that 10% of attacks that came from mobile networks are directed at Port 23, which Telnet uses. That marks a somewhat unusual spike for the aging protocol.  Telnet is a remote access tool used to log into remote servers, but it has been gradually replaced by SSH, also known as Secure Shell.  Administrators are generally advised to disable Telnet if the protocol is not used to prevent attacks targeting it, but some forget.  Including all types of attack traffic sources, about 17% of attacks were directed at Telnet. Port 23 was "overwhelmingly the top targeted port for attacks" in Egypt, Peru and Turkey, Akamai said.  "It is not clear if there is a common thread that connects these three countries, nor whether these observed attacks were brute-force login attempts or some other botnet- related traffic," the report said.

News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 03.02.2011 IRIS RECOGNITION

 Iris recognition is a method of biometric authentication that uses pattern-recognition techniques based on high-resolution images of the irides of an individual's eyes.  Not to be confused with another, less prevalent, ocular-based technology, retina scanning, iris recognition uses camera technology, with subtle infrared illumination reducing specular reflection from the convex cornea, to create images of the detail-rich, intricate structures of the iris.  Converted into digital templates, these images provide mathematical representations of the iris that yield unambiguous positive identification of an individual.  Iris recognition efficacy is rarely impeded by glasses or contact lenses. Iris technology has the smallest outlier (those who cannot use/enroll) group of all biometric technologies. A key advantage of iris recognition is its stability, or template longevity, as, barring trauma, a single enrollment can last a lifetime.  Breakthrough work to create the iris-recognition algorithms required for image acquisition and one-to-many matching was pioneered by John G. Daugman, Ph.D, OBE (University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory).  These were utilized to effectively debut commercialization of the technology in conjunction with an early version of the IrisAccess system designed and manufactured by Korea's LG Electronics. Daugman's algorithms are the basis of almost all currently (as of 2006) commercially deployed iris-recognition systems.

GIANT RING OF BLACK HOLES

 This composite image of Arp 147, a pair of interacting galaxies located about 430 million light years from Earth, shows X-rays from the NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (pink) and optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope (red, green, blue) produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md.  Arp 147 contains the remnant of a spiral galaxy (right) that collided with the elliptical galaxy on the left. This collision has produced an expanding wave of star formation that shows up as a blue ring containing in abundance of massive young stars.  These stars race through their evolution in a few million years or less and explode as supernovas, leaving behind neutron stars and black holes.  The nine X-ray sources scattered around the ring in Arp 147 are so bright that they must be black holes, with masses that are likely ten to twenty times that of the Sun.  An X-ray source is also detected in the nucleus of the red galaxy on the left and may be powered by a poorly-fed supermassive black hole.

DOC: 3D GAMING WON'T PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES

Dr. Mark Borchert  An L.A.-based ophthalmologist has said that prolonged exposure to 3D images in games consoles will not have any permanent adverse effects for adults and children over four years of age.  Eye scientist Dr. Mark Borchert has refuted claims that upcoming 3D technology for Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's 3DS will prove to be damaging for hardcore games players.  "It's not likely to cause any permanent harm to vision," he said to Gamasutra. He should know what he's talking about - the L.A.  Times ranked him as one of the best in the profession in the Southern California area last year.  "There are people who get uncomfortable with it, and get eyestrain or headaches, or on much rarer occasions, a sense of imbalance or nausea.  But there's no evidence it can cause permanent harm to your vision or use of both eyes together or anything like that."

Cryptographic Algorithms

The conversion of data into a secret code for transmission over a public network. Its purpose is Confidentiality, Non-refutation, Integrity and verification. There is wide range of cryptographic algorithms in use.

DES : This is the 'Data Encryption Standard'. This is a cipher that operates on 64-bit blocks of data, using a 56-bit key. It is a 'private key' system.

HASH : A 'hash algorithm' is used for computing a condensed representation of a fixed length message/file. This is sometimes known as a 'message digest', or a 'fingerprint'..

MD5 : MD5 is a 128 bit message digest function. It was developed by Ron Rivest.

SHA-1 : It is a hashing algorithm similar in structure to MD5, but producing a digest of 160 bits. Because of the large digest size, it is less likely that two different messages will have the same SHA-1 message digest. For this reason it is recommended in preference to MD5.

IBM Develops Denser, Faster Chip Memory

 IBM has developed a prototype of what the company claims is the smallest, densest and fastest on-chip memory, which could lead to higher performing electronics from servers to consumer gear.  IBM built the technology for use in next-generation 32-nanometer processors.  The embedded dynamic random access memory, or eDRAM, is integrated on the same die as a multi-core processor, instead of using external DRAM modules and transistor- based static random access memory, or SRAM, that's typically used for caches.  IBM built its eDRAM using 32-nm, silicon-on-insulator technology that protects the transistors on the chip with a "blanket" of insulation that reduces electrical leakage.  In comparing its eDRAM cell with 32-nm embedded SRAM, IBM says its technology is up to four times as dense, which means it can help produce smaller, more efficient processors that can process more data.  IBM claims its embedded memory is the fastest today, achieving latency and cycle times of less than 2 nanoseconds.

SELF-RECONFIGURING ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

 Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology.  Self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new circumstances, perform new tasks.

 They can contain electronics, sensors, computer processors, memory, and power supplies; they can also contain actuators that are used for manipulating their location.

 A feature found in some cases is the ability of the modules to automatically connect and disconnect themselves to and from each other, and to form into many objects or perform many tasks moving or manipulating the environment.

 The ―self-reconfiguring‖ or ―self-reconfigurable is a mechanism or device is capable of utilizing its own system of control such as with actuators or stochastic means to change its overall structural shape.

 There are two basic types of methods of that self-reconfigurable mechanisms can utilize to reshape their structures, chain reconfiguration and lattice reconfiguration.
