The London Film museum which was once known as the Movieum of London is situated in the County hall building on Westminster Bridge Road in the City of London. The museum is a must for film fanatics as it offers an incredible amount of things to do and see. Movie going enthusiasts will be in their element. As well as great fun it is also educational, you can learn about the history of film and famous directors.

The museum is one of its own kind in Great Britain. It was founded and created in February 2008 by Jonathan Sands following the signing of a 25 year lease at the County Hall London. Jonathan started his career as a commercial and advertising photographer and opened his first own studio at the young age of 17. He then went on and moved to the Elstree Film Studios and became resident photographer in 1997. At the studios he met Nick Harrison who owned a prop and events company called ‘Weird and Wonderful’. He worked with Nick on many special projects which included The Aliens Resurrection party at BAFTA.

When Nick Harrison’s life was cut short aged 37, Jonathan when on to buy the company and collection and built it up into a full production company. He created many attractions including ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’ at Thorpe Park and the Chelsea Football Club Centenary Museum at Stamford Bridge. In 2006 Lucasfilm requested that the 30th Anniversary Exhibition be hosted in London and Jonathan was asked by a promoter to host the event. He did just this and negotiated a short term license to present it at County Hall. ‘Star Wars The Exhibition’ opened on May 4th 2007 and was a great success. It got Jonathan thinking and when that exhibition was closed, Jonathan went about looking into signing a 25 year lease at the County Hall so he could move his entire collection in. He did just this in Feb of 2008. Over the next couple of years he was introduced to Rick Senat who was an ex-senior executive at Warner Bros. and well known within the British film industry. In the following year Rick Senat became Chairman with

Ultrasensitive detectors to pinpoint fetal heart beat

At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the most powerful magnetic detectors in the world is helping screen high-risk pregnant patients for rare but very serious fetal heart rhythm problems. The translational research program allows pediatric cardiologists and obstetricians from around the country to gather additional data and offer their patients the best treatment options. “It’s the only place in the country dedicated to evaluating rare and very serious fetal heart rhythm problems using biomagnetism,” says Dr. Ron Wakai, the professor of medical physics at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health who created the lab. “In a typical year, we see between 50 and 70 patients, the vast majority around their 25th week of pregnancy.” he added. The hearts of the fetuses referred for evaluation may skip beats, race or beat too slowly. Structural abnormalities may also affect cardiac performance. Doctors must know exactly what’s happening so they can treat accordingly. Results of the recordings, in conjunction with data obtained from current technologies such as ultrasound, allow physicians to offer appropriate treatment options – from cautiously waiting and seeing, to prescribing medications, to delivering the fetus as soon as possible. The passive detector, mounted on a track above a table upon which the patient lies, is positioned over the pregnant woman’s belly, where it picks up the faintest magnetic signals and sends the information back to a computer in an adjacent room. The safe, non-invasive test takes about an hour.

Cellphone towers to predict floods

Atmospheric humidity can strongly influence radio signals by scattering them in all directions, weakening and making it much harder to detect on the receiving end. A team of researchers from the University of Tel Aviv has now found a new, promising way of exploiting this phenomenon to accurately predict the intensity of imminent floods and other natural catastrophes. By monitoring the attenuation of signals received across a grid of cellphone towers located near the cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv over two periods of one month each, a team led by Prof. Pinhas Alpert, currently working with NASA to develop models describing global warming weather patterns, managed to demonstrate the accuracy of their system.
The areas were an ideal choice to test the technology for the abundance of both cellphone towers and sudden, often unpredictable floods. Analyzing the data provided to them by two cellular providers, the team confirmed the accuracy of the system and now plans to export this technology the American grid. “By monitoring the specific and fluctuating atmospheric moisture around cellphone towers throughout America, we can cheaply, effectively and reliably provide a more accurate ‘critical moisture distribution’ level for fine-tuning model predictions of big floods,” Alpert said. The technology is quite inexpensive to implement since it merely analyzes data from towers that are already in place.

Microrings – the future era of telecommunication

“What enables this technology is that our devices generate ultrabroad bandwidth radio frequencies needed to transmit the high data rates required for high resolution displays,” Weiner said. Although the technology might eventually be developed to both receive and transmit signals, initially it is likely to be commercialized in devices that only receive signals, for “one-way” traffic, such as television sets, projectors, monitors and printers, say the researchers. This is because the sending unit for transmitting data is still a little bulky. If its size can be reduced enough to allow it to be integrated into the devices, it would enable full two-way traffic, making possible the wireless operation of things like hard-disc drives and computers. The approach could also be used for transmitting wireless signals inside cars. The researchers first create laser pulses with specific “shapes” that characterize the changing intensity of light from the beginning to end of each pulse. The pulses are then converted into radio frequency signals.
A key factor making the advance potentially useful is that the pulses transmit radio frequencies of up to 60 gigahertz, a frequency included in the window of the radio spectrum not reserved for military communications. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission does not require a license to transmit signals from 57-64 gigahertz and this unlicensed band also is permitted globally, meaning systems using 60 gigahertz could be compatible worldwide. “There is only a very limited window for civil operations, and 60 gigahertz falls within this window,” Qi said.

In a step that could see communication wires banished from homes and offices researchers have developed a miniature device capable of converting ultra-fast laser pulses into bursts of radio-frequency signals. The advance could enable all communications, from HDTV broadcasts to secure computer connections, to be transmitted from a single base station. “This base station would be sort of a computer by itself, perhaps a card inserted into one of the expansion slots in a central computer. The central computer would take charge of all the information processing, a single point of contact that interacts with the external world in receiving and sending information,” said Minghao Qi, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University. Ordinarily, the continuous waves of conventional radio-frequency transmissions encounter interference from stray signals reflecting off of the walls and object inside a house or office. However, the pulsing nature of the signals produced by the new “chip-based spectral shaper” reduces the interference that normally plagues radio frequency communications, said Andrew Weiner, Purdue’s Scifres Family Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Each laser pulse lasts about 100 femto seconds, or one-tenth of a trillionth of a second. These pulses are processed using “optical arbitrary waveform technology” pioneered by Purdue researchers led by Weiner. More about this technology continued in my next blog.

Helicopters to investigate nuclear disasters

Students at Virginia Tech’s Unmanned Systems Laboratory are perfecting an autonomous helicopter they hope will never be used for its intended purpose. Roughly six feet long and weighing 200 pounds, the re-engineered aircraft is designed to fly into American cities blasted by a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb. The helicopter’s main mission would be to assist military investigators in the unthinkable: Enter an American city after a nuclear attack in order to detect radiation levels, map and photograph damage. To carry out various missions, the researchers outfitted the helicopter with various “plug-and-play payloads” as the vehicle’s weight capacity is limited. The payloads are easily loadable and unloadable boxes that fit snugly under the helicopter’s main body, carrying devices that would detect radiation levels in the atmosphere and on the ground, and take video and still images of damage. Flight control software would allow the mission to be changed mid-flight. A miniature tray-like robot on treads can be launched via a tether wire from the helicopter to collect evidence. The helicopter would hover over the robot, and pull it back via the wire. The robot is expected to easily maneuver any terrain, including expected bomb craters. The team plans to make the robot water proof, in the event that it comes across water – busted water mains, lakes, rain puddles, etc.
