LOST AIRPLANES

Two planes were lost in the oceans within this month. Search efforts failed to get the black boxes. Now I’m suggesting: why not all airplanes have their black boxes equipped with powerful GPS devices with unique ID codes. This means that if a craft disappeared on screens. it wouldn't be lost for GPS satellites. And hence could be easily located... that is of extreme importance for saving some victims' lives within the early hours.

Awake Anesthesia

Are we one step from the era of awake anesthesia! I’m not sure if someone has already suggested this … On reading about the basics of MRI technology, a few weeks ago, an idea arose in my mind .. It's rather a hope. I Hope, about the prospects of our fellows in the fields of physics and biomedical engineering, to develop some new technology for blocking nerve impulse propagation (particularly the pain sensation), via non-invasive techniques or devices, which may work by something like –say- “targeted focal electromagnetic field modulation”, or a new technical principle, that do allow interference with, or stabilization of the resting membrane potential of specific nerves (selected or targeted), as what local anesthetics do to nerves, but with the advantage of being non-invasive, precisely targeting the selected nerves and accessing nerves that were practically inaccessible or difficult to block by the traditional techniques with the local anesthetic agents. If that proposed technolo...

BIO-ROBOTS

Bio-Robots I'm not sure if someone has suggested this before... It's about using genetic engineering to modify certain strains of bacteria or other micro-organisms, in a way that renders them producing certain substances we need, hence becoming bio-robots. Logically, parallel modifications in these bacteria genetics should be done in the form of creating some weak points into such creatures that would allow us to eradicate them easily once becoming a source of threat or danger at any time. An unlimited number of applications might exist. These bio-robots would allow production of purer substances, & newer molecules. The photosynthesis process may be modified so that the solar energy would be stored into a cleaner and newer form of fuel rather than sugar and starch, hence being a biological replacement of the conventional solar energy systems. Some strain of bacteria might be designed genetically to produce water out of whatever abundant substrates that would finally provide...

UID - SKY PC SYSTEM

UID TO MY SKY-PC SYSTEM UPDATE .. (Oct 2025): [Actually, this post had been published in 2007 before I downloaded it, & re-publish it again, in 2009 .. & as you can see, it could be considered as one of the early insights into "Cloud Computing & Storage"]..  -------  I’m not sure if someone has suggested this before… A few years back Microsoft launched among their online services the “Microsoft virtual machine” to their customers. That service got a considerable popularity then. Encouraged by the growing widespread popularity of the broadband and the other modern high speed massive data transmission technology, Microsoft launched the ”sky drive” service which also gained much more popularity. Other companies, whether little earlier, little after or concurrently with Microsoft, introduced similar online storage services. The growing high speed internet service together with the more and more declining cost of the service, were the major factors behind the widesprea...
