[AI] Wireless speed freaks set to leave Wi-Fi standing
Can Wi-Fi rise to the challenge of super-fast, high-definition downloads or are its days as the "killer app" of connectivity numbered? by Wendy Zukerman WI-FI as we know it is reaching the limits of its usefulness. It just can't keep up with our appetite for services, such as new video formats, that gobble up bandwidth. So what's next in the world of blisteringly fast home-based wireless technologies? For clues to where Wi-Fi is going, it helps to delve into the soup of standards that will shape the future of wireless communications. To date, most Wi-Fi hotspots use one of three connectivity standards, 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g - the current favourite. Wi-Fi devices connect to the internet over the radio waves in bands around the 2.4 gigahertz and 5 GHz frequencies, as defined by the international standards body, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Last year, the IEEE agreed the specification for a new Wi-Fi standard, 802.11n, which operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This standard is theoretically capable of transmitting data at 300 megabits per second - up from 802.11g's paltry 54 Mbps. The new Wi-Fi standard should make streaming high-definition video a less jerky experience than it has been so far. And further changes may take speeds up to 600 Mbps. Even so, based on past experience, additional bandwidth will soon get eaten up by data-hungry services, so what are the prospects for even faster wireless transmission? One method being considered is to transmit data in a different band of frequencies - generally speaking, the higher the frequency, the more data can be shifted. Several consortiums are already building systems which can operate around the 60 GHz band, including the IEEE's proposed 802.11ad standard. In mid-2009, the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig), a consortium of technology companies including Microsoft and Intel, published its specification for 60 GHz wireless communication technology. Ali Sadri, president of WiGig, says that its protocol will support data transmission rates up to 7 Gbps. At that speed, you could download the equivalent of a Blu-ray disc onto your laptop in seconds. At 60 gigahertz you can download the equivalent of a Blu-ray disc onto your laptop in seconds While WiGig's speed would easily surpass that of Wi-Fi, its range will be far shorter, at around 10 metres in open air. This is because radio waves at 60 GHz are subject to interference in the air, as the bonds in oxygen molecules resonate with the waves. That means it will not penetrate walls, confining your super-fast internet to a single room. Sadri thinks that may actually be an advantage, improving users' security by preventing outsiders tapping into your network. The big advantage of 60 GHz is that it is free, says Stan Skafidas, an electrical engineer at Australia's national technology research group, NICTA. This is because governments considered it unusable, so it doesn't require a licence, he says. Skafidas has been developing a chip that has all the components needed for 60 GHz connectivity built in. NICTA's so-called Gi-Fi chip will comply with the 802.11ad standard when it's finalised and allow downloads of up to 5 Gbps. Because the chip is built in the same way as most silicon chips, it should be possible to make them cheaply enough to compete with Wi-Fi, says Skafidas. NICTA demonstrated prototype chips last year and expects to go into full-scale production soon. "Because it's very cheap, you could envisage a situation where every power point in your house has this chip set into it," says Skafidas, so the short transmission range of 60 GHz won't be a problem. Elsewhere, the IEEE has working groups looking at improvements to Wi-Fi's capability. Its 802.11ac standard will operate around the 5 GHz band, like 802.11a, but data will be transmitted over a greater range of frequencies around that band to boost data rates. The standard isn't expected to be finalised until 2012, though it expects to exceed 1 Gbps. Others think we should abandon the overcrowded airwaves altogether and concentrate on light. Mohsen Kavehrad, an electrical engineer at Pennsylvania State University in University Park and his team have been working on an optical transmission system that is capable of high data-transmission rates. One problem with using light is that you normally need a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver. Kavehrad's system gets round this by using a high-power laser diode to generate pulses of infrared light, which can be bounced off the ceiling. The reflected light is captured and refocused at the receiver, where a special semiconductor known as an avalanche photo diode turns light into a digital signal. The team have been able to transmit data at 1 Gbps, and think it can go even faster. They presented the work at the SPIE Phonotics West Conference in San Francisco last month. Adding reflectors and more sensors could

[AI] Stem Cells From Own Eyes Restore Vision To Blinded Patients, Study Shows
June 18 (Bloomberg) -- Patients blinded in one or both eyes by chemical burns regained their vision after healthy stem cells were extracted from their eyes and reimplanted, according to a report by Italian researchers at a scientific meeting. The tissue was drawn from the limbus, an area at the junction of the cornea and white part of the eye. It was grown on a fibrous tissue, then layered onto the damaged eyes. The cells grew into healthy corneal tissue, transforming disfigured, opaque eyes into functioning ones with normal appearance and color, said researchers led by Graziella Pellegrini of the University of Modena’s Center for Regenerative Medicine. The stem-cell treatment restored sight to more than three- quarters of the 112 patients treated, Pellegrini said yesterday in a presentation at the International Society for Stem Cell Research meeting. The patients were followed for an average of three years and some for as long as a decade, Pellegrini said. “The patients, they are happy, even the partial successes,” she said in an interview at the meeting in San Francisco. “We have a couple of patients who were blind in both eyes. Can you imagine for these patients the change in their quality of life?” The work was praised by Ivan Schwab, an ophthalmology professor and stem cell researcher at the University of California, Davis, who has treated patients in clinical trials with a procedure based on Pellegrini’s work. While his patients improved for a time, the benefits didn’t endure, he said in a June 15 telephone interview. Pellegrini’s patients appear to have long-term improvement, he said. “The powerful part of her work is she has such long-term follow-up,” Schwab said. Many of the patients she treated had been blind for years as result of tissue and blood vessels growing over damaged parts of the eye. Some had been through failed surgeries and alternative treatments. Pellegrini estimated 1,000 to 2,000 patients in Europe suffer from burns with chemicals such as bleach or industrial solvents and may benefit from the procedure. The key to success is to be certain that when the stem cells extracted from the limbus are grown in culture they have the right mix of stem cells and the differentiated cells that form the corneal tissue, Pellegrini said. If there are too few stem cells in the transplant, the improvement won’t last because there will be no reservoir to form the new corneal cells needed with the normal recycling of cells over time, she said. The procedure succeeded after a single transplant in 69 percent of cases. A second procedure was performed on some patients, boosting the success rate to 77 percent, she said. The procedure was deemed a partial success in 13 percent of cases and a failure in 10 percent, she said. Depending on the depth of the injury, some patients regained sight in as little as two months, Pellegrini said. Others with deeper injuries needed a second procedure and waited a year before sight was restored, she said. The applications of the work may extend to other organs, Schwab said. “This is bigger than just the surface of the eye,” he said. “She may be making a model for how to regenerate livers or other organs.” Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Hi everyone, I wrote to the developer of Doc Scanner yesterday to suggest they look into a specifically designed for visually impaired people app for OCR and I got the best response ever back from them. What a company. Jussi Forsstrom, Jun 24 09:47 (EEST): Hi Andy! Thank you so much for your message. We are very pleased to hear your thoughts and really appreciate it! It's almost ironic that you contacted us now about using DocScanner as a reading tool, as we are just launching an app called SayText. SayText is an app designed especially for the visually impaired and by the way, it's free! In a few words to describe it's use, you need to place the iPhone on the center of a document. There's a big button for starting the tool, tap it. Slowly elevate the iPohne upwards from the document until you hear an beep sound - this indicates, that the document is now fully in frame and the camera will shoot automatically, when the picture is stable / focused. Now only thing you have to do, is to wait for a while (You can tap the screen to hear the OCR progress, e.g. OCR 35%). When the OCR is ready you can start the voiceover to read the document out loud. The app should come to Appstore in a week or so. We're happy to give you more info about SayText. There is a website for SayText: http://www.docscannerapp.com/saytext/ There's also a video, where Mr. Heikki Ekola, totally blind person uses it. He's representing the Finnish Federation of the Visually Impaired - You can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlWJF27IdX4 This video is also at the SayText homepage.

Re: [AI] Jobs in Maharashtra for the disabled
I am not restricting anything. I have personally told some leaders of the deaf community that they should intervene in these matters. By the way Spastic society is a litigant too. If the documents come to me from the government as promised and ordered on Monday then whichever organisation shows up at my office can take a copy of the set. Its for everyone to try to protect their rights. I have come back from court and immediately put it on this list. Everyone can share it and spread it. In these matters I represent the NAB. I always request a representative to be in Court. Luckily today even NFB showed up. I cant personally go through these ads and check what is wrong. I need help and more than that I need instructions. If I have to stop any wrong practise I have to do it immediately there is no more time.

Re: [AI] Jobs in Maharashtra for the disabled
Definitely a wonderful job! However, we should not count the chickens before they are hatched, more so if the eggs are being laid in Maharashtra! With erroneous identifications and so on, I am only cautiously optimistic about jobs for the severely disabled.. Totally hearing impaired, i.e. those with more than 75% impairment, are, as a rule, not allowed to apply. I don't have firsthand experience about them, and have not heard any protests in this behalf or even for denying jobs to totally orthopedically disabled individuals. However, cannot expect much from a government, which, blatantly violating the central identification, refuses to identify any lecturer's post except music for blind. It would be good, if all the advertisements are scanned and uploaded somewhere by any NGO. Otherwise, I am ready to do so, if hardcopies are mailed to me. And, yes, how can a government produce advertisements out of hat for six hundred jobs within a couple of days at the court directive, without having them duly published on their website or prominent newspapers or having them notified through employment exchanges is beyond my comprehension. And, is it the proper way of advertising jobs, in a constitutional democracy? Articles 14 and 16 mandate equal access to public employment, so a fare and transparent procedure has to be followed with due and systematic publicity and not haphazard and hasty one. And, yes, who knows government has consulted with its expert committee consisting of ophthalmologists or not before giving assurance to court!? (Smile) Anyway, kudos to Kanchan for this much, at least Regards "If you believe that there is a God, a God that made your body, and yet you think that you can do anything with that body that's dirty, then the fault lies with the manufacturer." --Lenny Bruce (Rajesh Asudani) Assistant General Manager, Reserve Bank of India Nagpur 09420397185 O: 0712 2806676 Res: 0712 2591349 -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of SC Vashishth Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 3:27 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Jobs in Maharashtra for the disabled Then I would request you to consider letting this information reach the cross disability organisations across the Maharashtra State and not restrict to NAB and few others!

Re: [AI] Pls Advise - Case of Shalini Sethi from Delhi
This is certainly a case of serious and extreme harassment. It is disappointing to know that CCPD, who is supposed to protect our rights and due enforcement of the disability law, has abandoned the cause so shamelessly and decided to side with the bank. Sometimes, you can't help but accede to the cynicism of those in this list who sometimes we -the over-optimists- often disagree with. Let us consider a few things we can do: I am no legal specialist... All that I can think of is to take this up as a citizen journalist exercise by one of us, record the statements of all those involved (if possible on camera) and pass the tape to a news channel. The best way is to name and shame those who show their courage to persons with disability. Let them face the public... Another thing I can think of is an open public campaign through press conference (making the person involved nd her father speak to the press) and explain the whole thing. Third thing is to take this to IBA and see if some remedy can be sought. The person in question here has been subjected to emotional stress for efficiently discharging her duty. The officials who should have supported her in situations like this and who failed utterly in their duties have to be brought to some sort of an open court and questioned in full public glair. Let us see if they can still taunt persons with disability again. This is not merely the experience of one person, but a forewarning that something similar may happen to any person with disability in future. This has to be severely dealt with.

I joined the IDBI Bank at its Chandni Chowk branch on 26.11.2007(later shifted to its Rajouri Garden Branch) as Executive , based on my selection in the all India Test conducted by the said Bank, under the quota for persons with disabilities, as per the PwD Act, 1995. This post was initially on contract, to be renewed year-to-year, to be absorbed in the services of the Bank as Assistant Manager, an A category post, on availability of vacancies, performance and a further selection process. 2. I was performing well, doing multi-task duties, as a Teller, handling cash, preparation of demand drafts, handling Demat accounts, tax collection matters. I also worked on cheque clearing seat. During this period I also participated in two training seminars, conducted by the Bank. Trouble started for me when Shri Rajesh Kumar joined this Branch as Head in July, 2008. He was harassing me for no reasons, teasing me on my disabilities, calling me mad, threatening the non-renewal of my contract etc. Things came to peak on 21.11.2008, when I could not bear the daily bickering and indignities any longer, I talked on my mobile to Shri K.P.Nair, Head HRD, who sits at Bombay Headquarters of the Bank, because he had earlier helped me in my posting problem, expecting that he will again sort out my problem. But instead of getting any relief I got a fax from his office at 5.00pm on 25.11.2008, when I was leaving the Bank, after my days work, informing me that my contract is not renewed and that I should apply to the Bank for encashment of my leave etc. I talked to him in the evening the same day on returning home but he informed me that the contract has not been renewed because of performance. When I talked to him about my complaint, he told me that he was looking into the matter. It took the Bank nearly 6 months and several e-mails to honor encashment. 3. Not getting any response, my father wrote to him on 1.1.2009 seeking proper justice, considering that I got this job quite late in my life and now at the age of 38 yrs. I had no further job opportunities; pleading that the state policy is to properly rehabilitate persons like me so that they could live their lives with dignity and self respect to become a part of the mainstream of the Society, but this letter failed to get any response. 4. Realizing that waiting further for justice from the Bank was futility, my father formally lodged the first complaint with the Chief Commissioner for persons with disabilities 24.2.2009, under Sec.59 of the PwD Act, 1995 This relevant Section reads that apart from taking steps to safeguard the rights and facilities made available for persons with disabilities, the Chief Commissioner, on his own

Both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (released here in the UK yesterday) have a built-in screen reader called VoiceOver which provides very good access to most built-in applications and a number of third-party apps. the older iPhone 3G available in India doesn't have any accessibility features. There is also a magnification feature called Zoom in 3GS and 4.

oh! really so bad! but these things are very common with the disabled person because our society is not ready to accept the existence of disabled people in the society. this matter must be discussed in the group and we should have come forward to help the victim. I am really sorry to say that no government agency or voluntary organizations are taking any steppes to avoid such incidents in different government agencies or departments with the disabled peoples. I am sorry to say that most of the voluntary organizations for the blind are being headed by the old and useless people so that they are not able to function properly. In most of the voluntary organizations in India peoples are using the organizations for their own interest and enjoying the donations is being given for the welfare of disabled people.

Re: [AI] Pls Advise - Case of Shalini Sethi from Delhi
Hi: FYI a few of this group members are themselves heading organisations and they are good at what they do. The need of the hour is to raise the voice when such things happen. You need not be a member or head of an organisation, you can do it as an individual. Ms. Jayakumar, for instance, has done her bit by bringing the issue to our attention. The question now is whether some of our members, especially those in the same region or state as the person in question, can do something about this?

Re: [AI] Problem in MS outlook
There could be several reasons: 1. The e-mail addresses of the messages stuck in the outbox may be wrong. This often occurs when you paste an address from another location and inadvertently include a >, <, or a period sign with it. 2. Your Internet connection might be patchy. >From your Outbox, open each mail and resend it by pressing ctrl-Enter. If this does not work and if your Internet connection is fine, the e-mail addresses could be causing the problem.

Re: [AI] Screen reading software for iphone
As I mentioned a few months before, I used the 3gs and it's very good and the touch screen has been really made accesible. As soon as you activate the voiceover, the touch screen interface changes and they have different sounds to indicate various menus. Typing could be a bit problematic thing, but Iphones and Ipod touch clearly demonstrate the fact that it is possible to produce phones/computers with in-build accesibility features that are very reasonable.

[AI] Indian professor devises method to use cellphone for eye
The Hindu : Today's Paper / NATIONAL : Indian professor devises method to use cellphone for eye tests BOSTON, June 26, 2010 tests A team led by an Indian-origin professor has devised a method of using mobile phones for conducting eye tests, a technique it hopes will be useful in places lacking hi-tech eye equipment. The device NETRA (Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment), has been designed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab Associate Professor Ramesh Raskar, visiting Professor Manuel Oliveira, student Vitor Pamplona and post-doctoral research associate Ankit Mohan. The two-minute eye test can be carried out using a small plastic device clipped in front of a cellphone's screen. The patient looks into a small lens, presses the phone's arrow keys until sets of parallel green and red lines just overlap. The process is repeated eight times with the lines at different angles for each eye. The process takes less than two minutes, after which software loaded in the phone provides prescription data. "Our device has the potential to make routine refractive eye exams simpler and cheaper, and, therefore, more accessible to millions of people in developing countries," Professor Oliveira said in a statement. The technology takes advantage of huge improvements in the resolution of digital displays and their widespread proliferation in cellphones. Apart from the software to run on the phone, all that is needed is the snap-on plastic device, which, Professor Mohan says, can be produced at a cost of about $1 to $2, but cost a few cents more in large quantities. The team is preparing to conduct clinical trials, preliminary testing with about 20 people and objective tests using camera lenses have shown that it can achieve results comparable to the standard aberrometer test, which shines a laser into the eye and uses an array of tiny lenses to measure its characteristics. The group plans to launch production of the device, initially targeting parts of Africa and Asia. It also hopes to produce an advanced version that will be able to detect other conditions, such as cataract, which could be sold in the developed world as well. NETRA is a quicker, simpler and cheaper way to test eye sight, said the team, which has already applied for a patent. According to the World Health Organisation, uncorrected refractive errors are the world's second-highest cause of blindness, affecting about two per cent of the world's population. Nearly two billion people have refractive errors and they could be potential beneficiaries of the new system. - PTI .
