Robot performs laparoscopic surgery without guiding hand of a human

February 2, 2022 by Editor Leave a Comment

By Catherine Graham, Johns Hopkins University

In four experiments on pig tissues, the robot excelled at suturing two ends of intestine – one of the most intricate and delicate tasks in abdominal surgery

A robot has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human – a significant step toward fully automated surgery on humans.

Designed by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR, is described today in Science Robotics.

Senior author Axel Krieger, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins’ Whiting School of Engineering, says: “Our findings show that we can automate one of the most intricate and delicate tasks in surgery: the reconnection of two ends of an intestine.

Ceremorphic unveils plans to build supercomputer infrastructure on 5 nanometer chips

January 27, 2022 by Editor Leave a Comment

Supercomputing startup Ceremorphic has unveiled plans to deliver a complete silicon system built on 5 nanometer infrastructure.

The company says its system will provide the performance needed for next-generation applications such as artificial intelligence model training, high-performance computing, automotive processing, drug discovery, and metaverse processing.

Designed in advanced silicon geometry (TSMC 5nm node), this new architecture was built from the ground up to solve today’s high-performance computing problems in reliability, security and energy consumption to serve all performance-demanding market segments.

Significant otter helps couples communicate from the heart

May 27, 2021 by Editor

Even though people stayed in touch during the pandemic’s stay-at-home orders and social distancing, it was easy to feel out of touch with loved ones.

Technology and the internet have expanded the way humans communicate and added much to that communication – think emojis, GIFs and memes. But they can still fall short of being physically with someone.

“Our social cues are limited online,” said Fannie Liu, a research scientist at Snap Inc who earned her Ph.D. from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science. “We’re exploring a new way to support digital connection through a deeper and more internal cue.” [Read more…] about Significant otter helps couples communicate from the heart

Fressko’s eco-friendly water bottles highlight new outlook for eco-friendly living

April 30, 2019 by Editor

By Andrew Polin

Fressko, which manufactures premium glass- and bamboo-encased stainless steel flasks, has changed my outlook on how I can live an eco-friendlier life.

After writing about Fressko’s environmentally-friendly flasks for the past five months and reading about the plastic garbage that is polluting the world’s oceans – a whale died recently with 88 pounds of plastic in its stomach – I have slowly taken small steps to reduce my plastic-footprint on the world.

First, I leave a Fressko flask in my car and I use it whenever I visit a fast-food restaurant or movie theater. That way, I don’t need a plastic cup for water or soda. I go to at least 2-3 movies a week so that’s about 30 plastic cups saved over the past three months. Multiply my efforts by millions of people and it can really have an effect.

This week I ordered stainless steel utensils in a travel pack that I am going to use whenever I eat at any restaurant that uses plastic utensils. It cost about $12 and included two stainless steel straws with a cleaning brush. Once again, do the math and multiply my savings by millions of people.

I also take reusable non-plastic grocery bags to the supermarket and use them instead of plastic bags.

I just made three simple changes in my life. Anyone can do what I am doing. Together, we can have an impact.

“It is very satisfying to know our company’s mission is rubbing off on our consumers,” said Hayley Culley, marketing director for Fressko, which is based in Melbourne, Australia. “Our philosophy is simple: Be kind to mother earth, to others and yourself.”

Fressko flasks are durable, functional, leakproof, and can keep beverages cold for up to 12 hours or hot for up to six hours. Fressko also uses a third-party quality assurance company to make sure the company’s quality standards are met during production.

With an eco-friendly philosophy, Fressko has created sustainable, reusable alternatives to plastic, rubber or paper cups. These containers are 100 percent BPA-free and designed for durability and ease of use.

Fressko offers three product lines:

Original Series, which includes three glass and two bamboo flasks.

Color Collection, which is a series of infuser flasks in a variety of colors: lagoon, floss, coal, denim, snow and clay.

Camino, which is a 12-ounce reusable coffee cup featuring a color-coated, scratch-resistant exterior and a stainless steel interior and is designed for long-term durability. The cup can be placed under the spout of a coffee machine and includes internal barista markings.
