A new Wi-Fi Shield to connect your Arduino to the Internet

From www.open-electronics.org - Today, 1:38 AM

Since now on, it will be easy to provide your Arduino with Internet connectivity by using this shield. The shield sports a TCP/IP stack manager, in order to free up the Arduino from some basic tasks. It’s also essential to equip the board with a library, that communicates with the TCP/IP manager and makes it easier to program the Arduino and to let it communicate with other computers via the Internet. The WiFi shield Despite the proliferation of hardware to connect Arduino with the web, and especially despite YUN, we considered useful to design and propose a new WiFi shield for Arduino, which replaces the one already presented. This time we indeed added an interface processor that manages the TCP/IP protocol: a definitely too challenging task for Arduino. Anyway a network interface card becomes really useful if it’s driven by software which simplifies as much as possible its use, especially in a context of reduced hardware resources such as with [...]

GE develops high-tech fridge magnets that could save the world billions of dollars in energy costs | ExtremeTech

From www.extremetech.com - Today, 1:27 AM

One of the world's biggest draws of electricity is refrigeration and air conditioning. (Yes, it's somewhat ironic that, by trying to stay cool, we pump millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere).

General Electric, GE, believes it has discovered a new method of magnet-based refrigeration that is 20-30% more efficient than existing refrigeration technology, which almost universally uses a liquid refrigerant and compressor.


GE launched the first commercial electric refrigerator in 1927 -- and fridges have fundamentally remained unchanged for almost 100 years. GE hopes that its magnet-based tech can become the refrigeration method of choice for the next 100 years.

	Official AndreasCY's insight:
	Makes you wonder about whether you got your money's worth when you bought that crappy fridge magnet from Yosemite, eh?
