CRYONICS --- REVIVING FOR SURVIVAL

It just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference

between mostly dead and all dead. - Miracle Max

Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told that we will die. We

associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests

that death is not the terminal event we think it is.

Cryonics, freezing the dead with the hope of reviving them, is the preservation of humans in low

temperature who cannot be sustained by contemporary medicine, with the hope that healing and

resuscitation may be possible in the future.

Cryopreservation or cryoconservation is a process where cells, whole tissues, or other substances

susceptible to damage caused by chemical reactivity, are preserved by cooling to sub-zero temperatures.

Cryopreservation methods seek to reach low temperatures without causing additional damage caused

by the formation of ice during freezing.

Cryonicists believe that people can be frozen immediately after death and reanimated later when the

cure for what ailed them is found. Just to have an example, look at the frozen strawberries. During

freezing, the water within each cell expands, crystallizes, and ruptures the cell membranes. When

defrosted, all the intracellular goo oozes out, turning your strawberries into runny mush.

Blood circulation and breathing are artificially restored, keeping cells of the brain and the rest of the

body biologically alive during the early stages of the procedure. The blood chemistry and blood gases

(oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH) of a cryonics patient receiving good cardiopulmonary support is similar

to that of a living person. Cryonics patients are therefore legally dead, but biologically alive, depending

on how rapidly procedures are initiated after the heart stops.

Cryonics depends on many factors, such as the time one is cryopreserved, duration of cryopreservation,

however long it takes to develop life-extending technologies, and whether one’s friends or family are

interested in supporting the one being in cryopreservation.

Kim Suozzi, a 23- year old neuroscience student who was in the midst of battling terminal brain cancer

had a dying wish : to be cryonically preserved. After her death, charitable trusts were set up and the

funds were raised. After two fundraising efforts, enough money was raised for Suozzi to be cryonically

preserved at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

The most renown of those who have been cryogenically preserved, is baseball legend Ted Williams.

Even though people in cryonic suspension haven't been revived as yet, living organisms can be -- and

have been -- brought back from a dead or a near-dead state.

Cold preservation is not yet reversible with the present technology, but this says nothing about the

abilities of the future technology. Technology evolves every day, and it is possible to preserve the lives

of people, willing to use this technology, in the near future.

In Search of the Perfect CAPTCHA

You're using your computer to purchase tickets for concert at a local venue. Before you can buy the

tickets, you first have to pass a test. It's not a hard test -- in fact, that's the point. For you, the test

should be simple and straightforward. But for a computer, the test should be almost impossible to

solve.

This sort of test is a CAPTCHA, an acronym that stands for Completely Automated Public Turing

Test to tell computers and Humans apart. CAPTCHA exists to ensure that user input has not been

generated by a computer. They're also a type of Human Interaction Proof (HIP). You've probably seen

CAPTCHA tests in several Web sites. The most common form of CAPTCHA is an image of several

distorted letters. It's your job to type the correct series of letters into a form. If your letters match the

ones in the distorted image, you pass the test.

Why would anyone need to create a test that can tell humans and computers apart? It's because of

people trying to game the system -- they want to exploit weaknesses in the computers running the site.

While these individuals probably make up a minority of all the people on the Internet, their actions can

affect millions of users and Web sites. For example, a free e-mail service may find itself bombarded

by account accessing requests from an automated program. This automated program could be a part of

a larger attempt to send out spam mail to millions of people. The CAPTCHA test helps distinguish

between real human beings and the computer programs.

CAPTCHA technology has its foundation in an experiment called the Turing Test. Alan Turing,

sometimes called the father of modern computing, proposed the test as a way to examine whether or

not machines can think or appear to think like humans. The classic test is a game of imitation. In this

game, an interrogator asks two participants a series of questions. One of the participants is a machine

and the other is a human. The interrogator can't see or hear the participants and has no way of knowing

which is which. If the interrogator is unable to figure out which participant is a machine based on the

responses, the machine passes the Turing Test.

Of course, with a CAPTCHA, the goal is to create a test that humans can pass easily but machines

can't. It's also important that the CAPTCHA application is able to present different CAPTCHAs to

different users. If a visual CAPTCHA presented a static image that was the same for every user, it

wouldn't take long before a spammer spotted the form, deciphered the letters, and programmed an

application to type in the correct answer automatically.

Most, but not all, CAPTCHAs rely on a visual test. Computers lack the sophistication that human

beings have when it comes to processing visual data. We can look at an image and pick out patterns

more easily than a computer. The human mind sometimes perceives non-existent patterns. Ever see a

shape in the clouds or a face on the moon? That's your brain trying to associate random information

into patterns and shapes you are aware of.

‘I’ ROBOT

Page 9: ContentChennai, I am happy to release the magazine “ INTERCONNECT” , 2014. I am proud to proclaim that the magazine is the outcome of the exertion rendered by the credential people

But not all CAPTCHAs rely on visual patterns. In fact, it's important to have an alternative visual

CAPTCHA. Otherwise, the Web site administrator runs the risk of disenfranchising any Web user

who has a visual impairment. One alternative to a visual test is an audible one. An audio CAPTCHA

usually presents the user with a series of spoken letters or numbers. It's not unusual for the program to

distort the speaker's voice, and it's also common for the program to include background noise in the

recording. This helps thwart voice recognition programs.

The different CAPTCHAs used are,

TEXT RECOGNITION: users are asked to type distorted or scrambled text

LOGIC QUESTIONS: asked to answer simple questions like the 6th letter in “unrolled” is?

Or which of 3, twenty-nine, 70, 46 or 65 is the lowest?

IMAGE RECOGNITION: asks users to identify the object in an image

FRIEND RECOGNITION: provides authenticity by identifying friends from their photos

USER INTERACTION: It asks the visitor to “show your human side; slide the cursor to the

end of the line to create your account. Or show that you are human by reading the value of this

resistor.

Most people have a love-hate relationship with the CAPTCHA. We love them because they keep

people from spamming our sites (for the most part), but sometimes the make our eyes hurt and

frustrate us as we try to figure out what exactly the garbled words say. Sometimes, you can’t even

make them out and have to try, time and again, to prove that you are human. It has some

disadvantages like sometimes it is very difficult to read, not being compatible with disabled users,

being time consuming, and an unnecessary burden on the user.

The Perfect CAPTCHA

It would seem evident from years of use and research that CAPTCHAs are far from being a perfect

solution, when all these disadvantages are considered. Removing spammers from the equation and the

need for CAPTCHAs entirely; this is the final goal we are aiming for. The perfect CAPTCHA is no

CAPTCHA at all.

FPGA

INTRODUCTION:

FPGA stands for "Field Programmable Gate Array". As you may have guessed, FPGA is a huge array

of logic gates which can be programmed and reconfigured anytime and anywhere. FPGA is indeed much

more complex than simple array of gates. There are many gates inside the FPGA which can be arbitrarily

connected to create a circuit of your choice. FPGAs are manufactured by companies like Xilinx, Altera,

Actel etc. FPGAs are fundamentally similar to CPLDs except for its size and capability.

HOW FPGAS WORK:

Logic-cells:

FPGAs are built from one basic "logic-cell", duplicated hundreds or thousands of times. A logic-cell is

basically a small lookup table ("LUT"), a D flip-flop and a 2-to-1 mux (to bypass the flip-flop if desired).

The LUT is like a small RAM that can implement any logic function. It has typically a few inputs (4 in

the drawing above), so for example an AND gate with 3 inputs, whose result is then OR-ed with another

input would fit in one 4-input LUT.

Interconnect:

Each logic-cell can be connected to other logic-cells through interconnecting resources (wires/muxes

placed around the logic-cells). Each cell can do little, but with lots of them connected together, complex

logic functions can be established.

TECHTAB

Page 12: ContentChennai, I am happy to release the magazine “ INTERCONNECT” , 2014. I am proud to proclaim that the magazine is the outcome of the exertion rendered by the credential people

IO-cells:

The interconnect wires also go to the boundary of the device where I/O cells are implemented and

connected to the pins of the FPGAs.

Dedicated routing/carry chains:

In addition to general-purpose interconnect resources, FPGAs have fast dedicated lines in between

neighboring logic cells. The most common type of fast dedicated lines are "carry chains". Carry chains

allow creating arithmetic functions (like counters and adders) efficiently (low logic usage & high

operating speed).

Older programmable technologies (PAL/CPLD) don't have carry chains and so are quickly limited when

arithmetic operations are required.

FPGA vs MICROCONTROLLER:

In the world of electronics and digital circuitry, the term microcontroller is very widely used. Almost

every single device that is meant to connect and interact with a computer has an embedded

microcontroller inside to facilitate the communication. The structure of a microcontroller is comparable

Page 13: ContentChennai, I am happy to release the magazine “ INTERCONNECT” , 2014. I am proud to proclaim that the magazine is the outcome of the exertion rendered by the credential people

to a simple computer placed in a single chip with all of the necessary components like memory and

timers embedded inside. It is programmed to do some simple tasks for other hardware. A Field

Programmable Gate Array or FPGA is an integrated circuit that could contain millions of logic gates

that can be electrically configured to perform a certain task.

The very basic nature of FPGAs allows it to be more flexible than most microcontrollers. The term field

programmable already tells you that the whole FPGA device can be reprogrammed to do any logic task

that can be fitted into the number of gates that it has. You can rewire all the logic gates to configure it

to the task you had in mind. Microcontrollers already have their own circuitry and instruction set that

the programmer must follow in order to write code for that microcontroller which restricts it to certain

tasks.

FPGA DESIGN SOFTWARES: FPGA vendors provide design software that support their devices. It

does four main things:

Design-entry.

Simulation.

Synthesis / place-and-route.

Programming through special cables (JTAG).

There are usually two versions: one free that supports low to medium density FPGA devices, and a full

(non-free) version of the same software for big devices.

Xilinx's free software is named ISE WebPACK, which is a scaled-down version of the full ISE

software.

Altera's free software is named Quartus II Web Edition, which is a scaled-down version of the full

Quartus II software.

ADVANTAGES:

Compared to ASICs or ASSPs, FPGAs offer many design advantages, including:

Rapid prototyping

Shorter time to market

The ability to re-program in the field for debugging

Lower NRE costs

Long product life cycle to mitigate obsolescence risk

A farmer is traveling to the market with his cat, a chicken and some corn. He has to cross a river, and

the only way to cross it, is a small boat which can hold the farmer and just one of the three items he

has with him. The problem is, he has to be very careful about what he chooses to leave behind at any

time. If the cat and chicken are left alone, the cat will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are

left alone, the chicken will eat the corn. To solve the puzzle, you must show how the farmer can get

himself and his three items across the river without losing any of them. The goal of this project is to

design a simple electrical circuit that follows the puzzle. You'll need a 6 V battery, a flashlight bulb, a

bulb holder, some connecting wire, and four toggle switches: 3 SPDT (single-pole, double throw) and

1 DPDT (double-pole, double throw). Each switch represents one item: the farmer, the cat, the chicken

and the corn (you have to figure out which need to be SPDT switches and which one needs to be a

DPDT switch). The switches are mounted on a small panel, in a horizontal row (representing the river,

which you can draw in). Each switch is labelled ("Farmer", "Cat", "Chicken", "Corn"). The circuit is

to be designed so that if either of the problematic pairs (cat-chicken, or chicken-corn) are left alone on

the same side of the river, the bulb lights up, indicating an incorrect solution (you can add a 6 V

buzzer, too, if you like). Since the boat can hold only two items, players can use only two switches per

"move". See if you can figure this one out on your own. (Answer will be given in the next edition)

Today we had to clean our garage and it feel upon me to do so. Intriguingly, I found a tattered

notebook. It was a personal diary that once belonged to Mr. David. I remembered my grandfather

talking about his grandfather with the same name. So, if my calculations are right he should be my

great great grandfather, right? The diary was dated 2010, exactly 190 years before, and the entire diary

was fascinating! It talked about some ‘stable’ staircase which I’ve never ever heard of except in

history. Today we just use escalators. The word ‘staircase’ has gone into the good old times. My

grandfather had written about his dual SIM mobile phone which had been part of the 3G category.

This amused me, because the oldest type you get now is a 7G.

Although, it wasn’t obvious, he talked about his jeans and t – shirts, but how one could beat the

heat without air – conditioned outfits, is an unfathomable premise. In years to come, these outfits may

be rendered obsolete. He says that, there had been nearly 60 students in each class with a human

teacher teaching them. This is simply unimaginable incongruous with today’s scenario, where each

student has his own teacher, a “Humanoid”. We cultivate an “EACH ONE TEACH ONE” system. But

how could one human brain placate the doubts of 60, when my computer finds it difficult to handle

one human brain? That was just incredible. The next thing is that they followed some pen and paper

method, to write. Today each paper costs ₹. 300. All we use is a virtual screen, right from newspapers

reading to the examinations. The one thing that confuses me is that, with such a drastic change in our

technology, no one has come forward to put a full stop to the system of examination!

But, I will ascertain that even more changes will occur in our technology and my great great

grandson/ granddaughter will be quite amazed to read my diary during his/her own time.

What is said What it means

A number of different approaches are being

tried.

We don't know where we're going, but we're moving.

An extensive report is being prepared on a

fresh approach to the problem.

We just hired three guys. We'll let them kick it around for a

while.

Developed after years of intensive research. It was discovered by accident.

Modifications are underway to correct certain

minor difficulties.

We threw the whole thing out and are starting from scratch.

Preliminary operational tests were

inconclusive.

The darn thing blew up when we threw the switch.

Test results were extremely gratifying. It works and, boy, are we surprised!

The design will be finalised in the next

reporting period.

We haven't started this job yet, but we've got to say

something.

The entire concept is unworkable. The only guy who understood the thing just quit.

We need close project coordination. We should have asked someone else.

Alternate: Let's spread the responsibility for this.
