They may come with a hefty price tag but these earphones reportedly take sound onto a new level. Denon's latest AH-C751 earphones cost ?150 but the "Metal Bullet" design uses ultra-rigid machined aluminum that does not resonate, unlike plastic housings used in less expensive products. Denon's "Acoustic Optimiser" balances the sound pressure before and behind the diaphragm to reportedly give greater dynamics and fast transient response. All the contacts are made of gold, as is the 3.5 mm plug. They come with three pairs of ear adapters, a 0.8 m extension cord and rigid travel case.

Breakthrough product will be music to your ears
The Intempo Rebel allows you to listen to new music recorded from the radio free-of-charge. Rebel is a novel music sampling system that records the most-played tracks from any FM station then saves these as MP3 files. Moreover, the saved files have back-to-back music as DJ chats and adverts have been cut out. To start you need to leave it running for 12 hours or so to enable the system to get accustomed to the station. After this it'll start recognizing songs and digitally recording them. Once complete, simply download to your iPod or MP3 player.

A robot you can control from anywhere in the world!
Made by Meccano, Spyke is the first robot to be built that can be controlled from a computer through a WiFi connection. So, wherever you are in this world you can control your Spyke over the Internet! Moreover it comes with a video camera, a microphone, a loudspeaker and two motors. The technology means this Robot can move, watch, hear, speak, take pictures, as well as having light and sound effects and record video and sound. It can even be a telephone as it can be used as a VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phone and webcam and is compatible with Skype 3.0. So, with Spyke, you can watch and experiment in another laboratory, record events from that experiment and also observe who else is watching.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
