he nanorobot is an artificial tiny machine that can move on its own. The nanorobot consists of a central unit which can operate inside the human organisms, and of a group of additional units that back the central unit. Its task is to implement certain medical operations on separate organs and tissues. With a successful technology today, the future nanorobots will be able to perform many actions and solve many problems which modern medicine cannot solve. In addition, the nanorobots can cause various atoms and molecules to connect and create new material which can be use as a substitute for important substances in the human body, and the role of certain organs.

Summary: Tim, Gordon, and Roy talk about items of interest from the past few days’ news

LAST NIGHT’S show covered a broad range of subjects including some of the above. Corresponding articles will be linked in OpenBytes’ show notes.

The show ends with “Casino Beach”, which is a track Tim selected. We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed.

HE previous post about validation with rotation put focus on large regions outside the heart, where there was greater separation between landmark points. In this case, initially I tested a general case where 120 points were put around a circular area in and outside the heart, showing more or less what got detected as the expected translation at each frame. I look at only one point at a time here, on purpose — meaning that for each point only its neighbours in the next frame are being compared and there is room for improvement if the whole spacial patch (e.g. 3×3 window) gets used in the current frame. This simplification was intentional here.

Summary: Tim and Roy talk about a 98-pound PC, Stuxnet, Android/ChromeOS, and copyright news

LAST NIGHT’S show started with some important GNU/Linux news from the UK and it then covered many different topics that are linked in OpenBytes’ show notes.

The show ends not with the usual opening/closing theme but with Marti’s promotional track for TechBytes.

his Octave ramble is an experimental video where I try to present some elements of the program before preparing something more professionally put. In this part of a series I go just through some elements of QtOctave and show how it is used in practice. In the future I will prepare something much more polished that is planned in advance.

S a first validation step I am running these basic sanity checks which track anatomy where the correct correspondences are known. These animations show how a collection of points spread around the boundary of a circle (but not put precisely on the circle, on purpose) move along with the image merely by tracking the signal, without any knowledge of what other points are doing or what rigid/affine transformation the image itself is subjected to. Moreover, the interpolation process causes little issue at all and even though points can only move up/down/left/right (and diagonally), they do manage to move consistently.

With a new Gaussian kernel-based filter I’ve put in place fusion that makes use of image gradient (x+y derivatives) possible alongside with image signal. The binary images resulting from edge detection might be of some use, but scaling is tricky.
