When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people’s minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen.
She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, “The Ghost in the Shell.”

When it comes to relocating a data center, Joel Gabel is an expert. But when the U.S.  Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) selected the company he works for, Pivot Technology Services , to help them with a project, he says that it more or less went against all the best practices. That’s because the project was relocating Colosseum . At first glance, Colosseum may look like a data center, but in reality, it’s a massive radio-frequency emulation testbed that DARPA built for its Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2). SC2 has been a three-year competition to demonstrate the validity of using artificial intelligences to work together in order to use wireless spectrum more efficiently than operating on pre-allocated bands would be. Colosseum was originally built and housed at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory . That changed at the beginning of October, when the testbed was dismantled and later trucked to Los Angeles for the competition’s finale, sche...

Universal Robots is planning six demonstrations featuring its collaborative robots at IMTS. | Source: UR Led by Universal Robots A/S, the collaborative robot market was valued at $1.23 billion in 2022. It is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 32.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to Grand View Research. Much of this growth is due to small or midsize enterprises (SMEs) adopting cobots, said the research firm. For these enterprises, a robot is only as good as the time it spends working. Every second of downtime means money lost. This is why Universal Robots  is seeking to increase uptime with its enhanced UR Care Service Plans . The Odense, Denmark-based company now offers preventative field service, onsite break-fix, and dedicated remote support. Its enhanced service plans also support secure cloud-based performance monitoring through UR Connect. “We want to be our customers’ steadfast ally, helping them optimize performance, maintain peak hardware conditio...
