Animalfree allergy tests would pinpoint the winning spot – New Technology

       

The use of animals to test cosmetics is no longer allowed in the EU, and the industry is looking high and low for new testing methods. Lund company Senzagen has developed a test which instead uses human cells to investigate whether a substance is allergenic.

– Our test shows right with 90 percent security, while animal experiments just came up in 75 percent, says CEO Anki Malmborg Hager.

Senzagen is one of the nominees for this year’s edition of new technologies and business world list of the country’s 33 hottest young technology companies. Already on Tuesday, the company has a chance to secure a spot on the list when the regional final is decided in Lund.

The test method is based on research at Lund University. It is based on a type of human cells that play an important role in our immune system.

By measuring the 200 selected genes react to the substance to be tested so you can judge whether the substance can cause allergies.

The company has made a small profit in the last two years and in the order book for this year are already test orders with a value of over five million. In the spring the company moves to new premises and recruits in order to increase capacity.

An important event of the year is the trade association Cosmetics Europe’s high evaluation of test methods that can replace the old animal testing. At the end of the year, the association must select the methods that will be recommended.

– From the beginning there were 16 tests in the evaluation, and Senzagen is one of the four or five who have gone on to the next phase. So far it’s our test that gave the safest answer, says Anki Malmborg Hager.

On the regional finals in Lund compete Senzagen against the D Laboratory, analyzes the slightest disturbance in the electricity grid and warns of blackouts, and InfraSight Labs, which developed software for analyzing and monitoring the company’s IT systems. The combatants are grilled by a jury.

In addition, they can submit a separate so-called “elevator pitch”, a powerful quick presentation as energetic entrepreneurs should To burn off if they end up in the same elevator as a potential investor. After a deliberation crowned the winner goes straight into the year’s 33 list.

The last regional finals held in Gothenburg on Wednesday next week, and you can read about it in next week’s newspaper. Follow both on nyteknik.se.

New software can restrict the NSA’s Surveillance – New Technology

       

“There is no software that can fully replace the massive collection, when it comes to exploring new måltavlors past.”

Det finds a committee of renowned US IT researchers and cyber experts led by Robert F. Sproull, Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Massachussettes and former Director of Oracle Labs. The group is also persons of high-level working in US intelligence.

They now – on behalf of US President Barack Obama – examined how the NSA signals intelligence organization, the National Security Agency, may reduce or limit his acclaimed large-scale electronic mass surveillance, as revealed by Edward Snowden.

Obama held last January a speech to the nation regarding Snow Dens revelations about NSA.s work.

Shortly thereafter, he issued a presidential decree who was that man should investigate the possibility of creating software that clearer than today makes intelligence gathering focused on certain goals.

The aim would be to reduce the controversial so-called mass or bulk collection and thus integritetsintrången in people’s private lives.

The answer is yes, according to the American researchers Now in a report published on Thursday and can be read here.

NSA’s search of information via the internet and telecom systems in the world partly carried out manually to other parts through automated systems and software.

The latter is possible to develop and hone in different ways, now state committee. Among other things, so that the search rules become more stringent and creates more control over the collection, compared to today.

New algorithms are proposed also developed in order that with more automation than today curtail NSA personnel’s ability to search for information in databases. It also wants to increase opportunities to subsequently be able to automatically revise and examine how data is used and how the logs look.

The Committee also points that the boundaries between the collection of bulk and information gathering directed towards specific goals or targets, is vague.

The breakdown suggests that targeted intelligence is not the same as massive collection.

But even gathering called oriented and covers only selected targets can in itself constitute the bulk of data collection, finds man.

The group believes instead that the bulk collection should be defined as a gathering where a significant amount of collected data can not be linked to the goal or target (current targets) which signal detection is supposed to cover.

“From a technical view, involves a circumscribed bulk collection that analysts are deprived of certain information, says committee leader Robert F. Sproull, to The New York Times.

But, he says, too. This “does not necessarily mean that the current bulkínsamlingen must continue.

Looking to the future tracks Committee that mass surveillance will spread to cover new areas, such as Stuff The Internet. But even technologies that protect electronic information is rapidly developing.

Simplivity boosts Cisco Servers – Computer Sweden

(CS / Milan) Last fall Cisco began a collaboration with Simplivity, a company that specializes in the so-called hyperkonvergerad architecture. The result of this collaboration is called the Cisco C240 ​​with Omnistack based on Cisco’s servers instead of the Dell Servers Simplivity normally use.

– With our servers in combination with Simplivitys accelerator cards and software gives customers the best of both worlds. You get a system with hyper-convergence and tight integration with VMware from Simplivity in combination with fast, easy provisioning and monitoring of infrastructure with UCS Manager, says Cisco systems expert Greger Jerlehagen.

Simplivity is a relatively new player in the market and it was only last year that the company established a Swedish office.

– A years ago we were only 230 employees and now we’re up to 400 and seen a fivefold growth, says Simplivitys Sweden head Anders Perlinger.

He says cooperation with Cisco had great significance for these successes because it meant increased awareness about the company’s products.

In Simplivitys range includes a number of different versions of Omnicube the simplest model costs 24,000 dollars while the Cisco Collaboration C240 which have higher capacity, has an entry price of 51,000 dollars.

Anders Perlinger state that it managed to sell 18 Omnicube so far in Sweden. The common denominator is that they are based on the proprietary technology for pre-deduplication that deduplicate data in real time before it is stored and it is performed by an accelerator card. The system also includes built-in support for backing up and restoring data without additional licensing costs. Simplivity also stresses happy that they have features to replace not only traditional storage systems, but also WAN accelerators, cloud gateways and products for backup processing.

WiFi logger desired – PC All

put the question in another forum but where I called for applications for Android.

Have searched and tried a Some apps but have not (yet) made a search on the program for Linux, OS X, or Windows.

Want thus have a program that controls the WiFi network in terms of “connectivity”.

A log that either shows a trend curve if the network has been “up” or not.

Alternatively, someone who only logs when the network is “down”.

Do not need to keep track of signal strength, channel, other networks, etc.

The reason is that some devices are constantly dropping, and regains, connection to the network while this is not shown in some other devices.

I do not just reboot the router or switch channels etc. and take a chance that the problem ceases.

We have “proof” that it either is, or is not, the network / router that is malfunctioning.

Ideally, for free of course, but a 15-day Trial of something really good program would surely also work.

5GHz is not visible – PC All

Searched on “5GHz” there are lots of threads about this but none seem to fit …

Keeps going crazy!

Have a wireless router Belkin N600 Dual band.

Self I drive by wire of 100 Mb / s (actually about 95) and has nothing to complain on but ….

My wife run wireless on laptop, in addition we have two phones and a tablet and a Chromecast to the wireless.

The wife surf the most and do not really have complained and the phones and the plate is not used very much but I began to think it was a little dull anyway watched Bredbandskollen, missus had only about 40-50 Mb / s, it does not help to put the computer next to the router

Once we had strange as he looked he saw our network, yes both the ordinary and 5GHz

What then 5 Ghz? I pulled remember that when I installed the router then it was two frequency bands / routers synthesis, 2.4 and 5 GHz, saw only 2.4 GHz.

I also have an old laptop with XP that I use sporadic but it has only “G” standard on the internal card.

Now I found at a flea market a DWL-AG650 Dualband Wireless Cardbus Adapter for 15 crowns, I plugged it into the old retainers and there I see both bands !!

But not on other devices?

It can not then be a problem with the router but I have not changed anything on my wife’s PC, the two phones and tablet ??

To program existed preloaded on Lenovo’s consumer machines have been discussed in various user forums and post complaints shall Lenovo in late January temporarily have removed the program from the new machines delivered. Company spokesperson, according to The Next Web in the same forum defended the program that helps users find cheaper products.
 

According to the spokesperson, it should also be possible to prevent the program is installed on a new computer by refusing to accept a user agreement when the computer is first started. However, it seems most users according to The Next Web have missed.

A Swedish users on the Lenovo forums also point to a greater risk with Superfish. On a screen shot shows he or she will Superfish installed its own cryptographic certificat in the computer that opens to a so-called man-in-middle attack where traffic against an encrypted webbisda, such as a bank, could be intercepted and read unencrypted by Superfish despite the fact that the browser shows that the traffic is safe.

The reason that Super Fish wants to “hijack” the encrypted traffic is likely to be able to insert their own ads also on encrypted pages.

According to the site Ars Technica has the problem of certificates confirmed also by security researcher Chris Palmer yesterday bought a new Lenovo Yoga 2 with Superfish installed. He has also been seen that the security certificate that Superfish installed on his computer and replacing it his bank would have used are the same on other users’ computers which according to him increases the risk that someone with bad intentions could create a false certificate for a secure Web users with Lenovo could not discover.

IDG.se during ‘m talking to Lenovo in Sweden who say they have too little information about Superfish for be able to comment.
