Techtalk - Raspberry Pi 💻

After years of development, the Stanford Biomechatronics Laboratory—led by Steve Collins, associate professor of mechanical engineering—has created a boot-like exoskeleton that results in exceptional improvements in walking speed and energy economy (9% faster with 17% less energy expended per distance traveled, to be exact).

Now that the exoskeleton has proven itself in the wild, outside of the lab, it could transform the lives of older adults and people who are beginning to experience mobility decline due to disability.

The robotic boot has a motor that works with calf muscles to give the wearer a push with every step—a literal extra spring in your step. Because the device relies on a machine learning model, the push is personalized for each person who wears it. In fact, it only takes about one hour of walking for the exoskeleton to customize to a new user. The team’s machine learning model is based on years of collecting motion and energy expenditure data to understand how the way a person walks with the exoskeleton relates to how much energy they are using.

“We’ve been working towards this goal for about 20 years, and I’m honestly a little stunned that we were finally able to do it,” says Collins. “I really think this technology is going to help a lot of people.”

JDM Tribute 😍

1997 Toyota Crown 4 door Hardtop Royal Saloon G EMV-GPS. (JZS151).

Originally released in Japan in August '95, the (10th generation) Crown S150 lineup received a facelift in July '97. From that range is which the car in the picture belongs to.

There was a 4door hardtop and 4 door sedan plus the bigger Majesta (a 4 door hardtop too).

The Royal Saloon G was the top-of-the-line one of the hardtop range back in July '97.

It was powered by an in-line-6 3L. DOHC 24-Valve VVT-i Beams 2JZ-GE unit able to pump 220ps (JIS) to the rear wheels via a 4-speed auto transmission.
Length:4,82m. Weight:1.560kg.

Looking at the technical data in the last pages of the dealer catalogue I see a basic Royal Saloon G, another with the multifuncton "EMV" screen and a last one that has GPS navigation in addition to that EMV screen.

Externally, the Royal Saloon G had some 15" alloys but it wasn't too different from other lower versions.
Of course features such as ABS, VSC or the CCD to detect (perpendicular) incoming obstacles, (specially useful when coming out from garages or narrow streets) were all part of the deal.

Anyway, with the same 3L. 2JZ-GE unit there were also a lower level Royal Saloon and a Royal Saloon Four (4WD).

What a ride. The perfect car to float along the highway in total comfort.
Hopefully there will be hardtop Crowns in the future.

Movie Review - One Piece Flim Red

*Spoilers Alert*

Uta is the core of the film; everything is centered around her character development and back story. She is the film's protagonist, antagonist, and victim all in one. Each act of the film digs a bit deeper into her past, building tragic revelation upon tragic revelation—each time redefining her actions with newly-gleaned context.

Uta's “evil plan” revolves around the fact that the world of One Piece would suck to live in for the general populace. While it is a world full of exciting adventures if you're one of the numerous superpowered pirates, it's a horrible place for normal civilians just trying to get by. At any moment, some superpowered as***le could wipe out your village, enslave you and your family, or just take all your food leaving you to starve. Meanwhile the closest thing to a police force, the Marines, seem to care more about defeating pirates than the civilians caught in the crossfire. Simply put, the entire world order is a disaster and massive change is needed. Uta can singlehandedly bring this change.

Without going into spoilery specifics, Uta has the power to create a new world—one free of violence and hunger where people can basically party and have fun every day. Those who try to upset this new order—i.e., pirates—are basically put into time out and are forced to watch as everyone else has fun. Uta doesn't want to kill anyone—her sole goal is to make everyone happy. Even pirates who give up on being pirates are welcome in her new world. This makes her an interesting antagonist for our usual heroes to be pit against because her goals are so non-violent and pure.

All in all, One Piece Film Red is a surprisingly deep and emotionally affecting movie. Even if you've never seen an episode of the TV show, the film gives you all you need to connect with the core of the film—i.e., Uta—and those who are important to her. The film itself explores themes of free will and suffering while delivering tons of action set to an absolutely amazing soundtrack. Just don't expect to come out of it feeling good about the world.

1989 Toyota Celsior (UCF10) and Lexus LS400

Some of the exclusive features that this first Lexus car introduced to the world were also some of the most intensely studied and meticulously analyzed by other automakers of the time.

The instrument cluster featuring glowing indicators that seemed to optically float inside the pod, called "Optitron Meter" instantly drew the attention of anyone who first encountered it on a test drive. It displayed the information only as needed and nothing else.

SLSS was the new cabin audio equipment development method, and in the case of the Lexus LS and Toyota Celsior, acoustic engineers from Yamaha and Toyota, calibrated the interior acoustics space, every surface and dynamically at every speed, and was handed off to Nakamichi and Pioneer engineers to develop an audio system with not only power, but with superb audio fidelity in a car that featured unprecedented levels of silence in the cabin of mechanical and outside noises.

Timing of different frequencies of sound emanating from sound drivers, in different locations were digitally tuned to calibration figures, for the cabin occupants.
And the frequencies altered depending on the speed, not just volume levels.

It was said that 14 changes were requested and made in the engine and suspension department to help enhance the silence of unwanted noises and vibrations, some going as far as redesigning several bearing to tolerances of less than 1 micron, and changing the fluid viscosity of the engine mount damping. Bushings in the suspension were altered again, and sound deadening materials were selected reflecting the study data.

The fact is that every component of the audio system was an integral part of the cabin and mechanical engineering of the car itself, and was one signature character of the Celsior/LS400 that could not be duplicated in any other automobile unless every task was repeated on another car.

Tribute of Queen Elizabeth II:

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her life and served as monarch of 15 of them at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any British monarch and the longest recorded of any female head of state in history.

She met everyone worth meeting, traveled over a million miles and visited over 115 countries, welcomed 15 British prime ministers to office — all without doing anything other than being her often silent royal self. That made her, in a sense, history’s greatest spectator.

During Elizabeth’s time, however, per-capita GDP in the United Kingdom more than tripled, part of a wave of economic growth that began in the 1800s with the Industrial Revolution, and truly took off globally in the postwar era. Life expectancy in the UK was just under 70 years in 1953 — today it is north of 80.

Queen Elizabeth II did not cause any of these changes of her reign, but she did witness them from a uniquely privileged vantage. And her passing is a reminder of just how long 70 years really is — especially these 70 years.

Malaysia as one of the previous colonies of Great Britain and a member of the Commonwealth are grateful for the contribution and support that were given. It serves as a foundation for Malaya’s Independence in 1957. Without the colonisation of British, there won’t be the existence of Malaysia.

Team Byteable extend our condolences to the Royal Family and the citizens of UK.

God Save the King
