Google introduces ‘Smart Contact Lens’ to measure glucose levels.

Google has begun testing on an intelligent contact lens that’s built to help control diabetes – a disease affecting one in every 19 people on the planet – by measuring glucose levels with mini embedded electronics. developed by brian otis and babak parviz, the project uses a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material. as glucose levels change frequently with normal activity like exercising or eating or even sweating, the concept aims to continuously monitor body fluids such as tears instead of blood drops, which require users to prick themselves for samples throughout the day. the sensors and chips will measure approximately the same size as bits of glitter, and the antenna thinner than a human hair.

‘we’re testing prototypes that can generate a reading once per second,’ explain otis and parviz. ‘we’re also investigating the potential for this to serve as an early warning for the wearer, so we’re exploring integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed above or below certain thresholds. it’s still early days for this technology, but we’ve completed multiple clinical research studies which are helping to refine our prototype. we hope this could someday lead to a new way for people with diabetes to manage their disease.’ according to google, the concept is currently in discussions with the FDA.

22 Companies Bid For NITEL

 

Telecommunication Limited (NITEL) and Mobile Telecommunications Ltd (MTEL) have attracted as many as 17 bidders who are attracted to their core assets in the ongoing guided liquidation exercise of the national telecommunications carrier.

According to dailyindependentnig.com, BPE’s Director General Benjamin Diki, made the disclosure to media at an interactive session on how President Goodluck Jonathan has, through his current transformation agenda, initiated policies that would ensure that the ongoing guided liquidation of the national telecom carrier would open up the nation’s telecom industry for both local and international investors to thrive.

Diki stated that, “Efforts by President Jonathan to open up the telecom industry have started yielding fruitful results as 17 investors have signified their interests to buy the Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd and its mobile arm, Mobile Telecommunications Ltd (MTEL), in the ongoing guided liquidation exercise of the national telecom carrier.”

According to Diki, 22 companies originally showed interest in the telecommunication giant; however, 5 were excluded due to lateness and were not accommodated due to strict compliance to the company’s rules.

The remaining 17 bidders are currently being evaluated and are expected to go through a strict approval process. This was according to Diki.

According to dailyindependentnig.com Diki, who argued that the guided liquidation was not outright auctioning of the various parts of the company “but that the 17 bidders would be given a chance to do due diligence, and then at the appropriate time be asked to submit technical and financial bids.”

On the N350 billion liabilities of NITEL, he said, “The Federal Government, in line with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) had sought for protection so that the balance from liabilities would not go back to the treasury, as he insisted that the liabilities are huge and this is why guided liquidation option was adopted.

“We are selling the company as a business unit that must continue doing business in the telecoms sector, because NITEL is the first national carrier. We have done similar things before with the AFCON, the fertiliser company, which is today known as Notore,” he said.

Diki noted that the government had opted for a guided liquidation option because the expected proceeds from the NITEL would likely be less than its debts value.

Armored UAZ Vehicles For Frontier Guards

These “UAZ” vehicles were modified specially for Ukrainian border troops. They have already left for the Lugansk region to participate in an anti-terrorist operation.

Any armor means extra weight, so it’s not easy to make a vehicle good enough to protect people and to perform other functions. They have done the job rather well at the Nikolaevsk Locomotive Repair Plant. 

Such vehicles have not participated in combat operations yet, it’s gonna be their first time.
