Moore, Kevin Hood A.E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California, 1042 West 36th Place, Room B-12, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1112, USA Received 5 October 2000; received in revised form 18 January 2001; accepted 26 January 2001 Abstract We have developed the first in a planned series of neural prosthetic interfaces that allow multichannel systems to be assembled from single-channel micromodules called BIONs (BIOnic Neurons). 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.

  • Peter Johnston 2011
    The London School Of Improvised Economics - Peter Johnston 2011 This excerpt from my dissertation was included in the reader for the course MUS 211: Music Cultures of the City at Ryerson University. Introduction The following reading is a reduction of a chapter from my dissertation, which is titled Fields of Production and Streams of Conscious: Negotiating the Musical and Social Practices of Improvised Music in London, England. The object of my research for this work was a group of musicians living in London who self-identified as improvisers, and who are part of a distinct music scene that emerged in the mid-1960s based on the idea of free improvisation. Most of this research was conducted between Sept 2006 and June 2007, during which time I lived in London and conducted interviews with both older individuals who were involved in the creation of this scene, and with younger improvisers who are building on the formative work of the previous generation. This chapter addresses the practical aspects of how improvised music is produced in London, and follows a more theoretical analysis in the previous chapters of why the music sounds like it does. Before moving on to the main content, it will be helpful to give a brief explanation of two of the key terms that occur throughout this chapter: “free improvisation” and the “improvised music field.” “Free improvisation” refers to the creation of musical performances without any pre- determined materials, such as form, tonality, melody, or rhythmic feel. This practice emerged out of developments in jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in the work of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, who began performing music without using the song-forms, harmonic progressions, and steady rhythms that characterized jazz until that time.

  • On the Danger of Artificial Intelligence
    On The Danger of Artificial Intelligence Saba Samiei A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computing and Information Sciences (MCIS) July 2019 School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences 1 | P a g e Abstract In 2017, the world economic forum announced that AI would increase the global economy by USD 16 trillion by 2030 (World Economic Forum, 2017). Yet, at the same time, some of the world’s most influential leaders warned us about the danger of AI. Is AI good or bad? Of utmost importance, is AI an existential threat to humanity? This thesis examines the latter question by breaking it down into three sub-questions, is the danger real?, is the defence adequate?, and how a doomsday scenario could happen?, and critically reviewing the literature in search for an answer. If true, and sadly it is, I conclude that AI is an existential threat to humanity. The arguments are as follows. The current rapid developments of robots, the success of machine learning, and the emergence of highly profitable AI companies will guarantee the rise of the machines among us. Sadly, among them are machines that are destructive, and the danger becomes real. A review of current ideas preventing such a doomsday event is, however, shown to be inadequate and a futuristic look at how doomsday could emerge is, unfortunately, promising! Keywords: AI, artificial intelligence, ethics, the danger of AI. 2 | P a g e Acknowledgements No work of art, science, anything in between or beyond is possible without the help of those currently around us and those who have previously laid the foundation of success for us.

  • 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].
