Steve Jobs received 141 patents after Death
Rpp News /
The death of Steve Jobs in October 2011 enluteció millions of fans of his creations (particularly in its final stage as CEO of Apple), but this does not mean that the co-founder of technology giant no longer receives patents.
Steve Jobs has so far 458 patents to his name, 141 of them were granted in the three years after he died.
The MIT Technological Review recalls that the first patent in the name of Jobs is simply titled “personal computer.” After his death he gave the rights to the design as “dramatic nature” of an Apple store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Among the patents owned Jobs are also iPod, iPhone, iPad, wall adapters; among others.
However, Jobs is still far from other inventors. In 2000 Time magazine did a ranking of inventors. Thomas Edison claimed first place with 1,093 patents registered in the US
The study of 170 samples of deer bones in the Cantabrian cave Miron allowed to answer questions about how the environment was and what climatic changes occurred at different times, as prehistoric times.
The results have been published in the November issue of the prestigious journal “Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (Palaeo 3)”. As noted by the University of Cantabria in a statement, the Cantabrian cave Miron is an “extraordinary” file for information about the past.
Cataloging and analyzing the numerous archaeological remains recovered season after season , prehistorians reconstruct more than 40,000 years of human occupation: from the last Neanderthals to the early Bronze Age, with special density in the Magdalenian, a contemporary of the great concerns of caves like Altamira and El Castillo
.
The site not only provides data about our ancestors, but also information about its environment and landscape thanks to the remains of animals that the inhabitants of the cavity hunted and ate.
The work published now is the result of collaboration between the British researchers Rhiannon Stevens (University College London) and Xosé Hermoso-Buxán (University of Cambridge) and three prehistorians working in El Miron: Manuel González Morales and Ana Belén Marín Arroyo, the International Institute of Prehistoric Research in Cantabria (IIIPC) and Lawrence Straus, University of New Mexico (USA), member associated IIIPC and codirector of the excavations.
TRACES OF PLANTS
Deer depend for their livelihoods of local vegetation, food that leaves a mark in the bone tissue of these animals .
The scientists analyzed the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope bone, observing correlations between changes in carbon-13 and factors such as changes in temperature and water availability in the area.
The nitrogen cycle-15, meanwhile, is related to biological soil regeneration, which slows down in the cold moments and influences the development of vegetation.
The results of the study, first of its kind conducted in Spain from an archaeological site show accurately the changes in the landscape in the valley of Ason since late last glacial period until mid-Holocene.
Comparison of the data obtained in the Miron with other 300 deer in other regions of Europe allows to know the geographic variations in these changes, rhythm and magnitude, placing the Spaniard as a key site for the reconstruction of past climate change point in Western Europe.
Is it possible to keep cool a building in summer without recourse to fans or air conditioning
A team of researchers from Stanford University in California, says that yes, thanks to a new material developed to place on the roof, which has the ability to reflect up to 97% of visible light .
But it also functions as a heat radiator, preventing the building is heated by sunlight and emitting heat into space.
If you cover significant portions of the roof with this mirror you will see how much electricity can save
When the mirror is heated, it releases heat as infrared radiation.
This radiation travels at a longer wavelength than visible light and easily through the atmosphere to reach space.
The researchers believe this wallpaper cooler like a sort of mirror could reduce the amount of energy used to keep cool environment or even make completely unnecessary use of air conditioning.
“If you cover significant portions of the roof with this mirror will see how much electricity can save “explains Shanhui Fan, photonics expert at Stanford University and lead author of the study.
Multiple layers
This mirror, which gave released this week in the journal Nature, is made for several layers of very thin material and has a thickness of 1.8 microns (one micron equals one thousandth of a millimeter).
The first layer is silver, the latter will overlap other silicon oxide and hafnium dioxide.
These layers enhance the ability to reflect the material and transform the mirror on a radiator.

According to its creators, the material structure enables infrared exit directly into space without overheating the space around the building
“We can use the cold darkness of the universe as a renewable thermodynamic resource, even during the hottest part of the day,” the researchers say in the journal Nature.
When they covered the roof of a building this prototype, we managed to reduce the indoor temperature setting 5 ° C.
The roofs are only a very small surface part of the Earth, why not I think this can become a geoengineering solution
Install the mirror can cost between US $ 20 and US $ 70 per square meter, scientists say.
The coating serves to cool buildings, or any other object, for example to prevent overheating by the sun’s heat.
Yet not used to remove heat generated by themselves inside the building.
To do this, scientists believe they could use the mirror to cool water or other fluid, which could then be circulated inside the building.
Global Warming
But, this material has some potential to reduce global warming?
Fan completely rule this idea.
“The roofs are only a very small surface of the Earth lot, so I do not think this can become a solution geoengineering” he said.
“Our contribution to the emission of greenhouse gases is simply to reduce the consumption of electricity.”

Google announced the closure of the official stores of Google Glass , but do not panic! According have warned from the company, closing the 4 places worldwide that are in charge of selling the product, it is because users buy more this device through the store online .
So far these 4 stores were located in the United States , one in Los Angeles, one in San Franciscoo and another in New York ; in Europe, London was the city chosen by Google for addicts and not so addicted to technology could access their smart glasses. However, little has lasted display best reviews intelligent device last year since Google announced the closure of the shops in a post published by Spencer Kleyweg through your Google + account.
But users have nothing to fear for that part, because as announced from the company, selling ontinurá through Google Play, Google’s online store.
What we can invite the concern of the followers of Google Glass, is that many applications have been removed from the smart glasses. Twitter a few months ago ceased to provide technological support geek Google. Another thing that might also be of concern to users is the issue of reparations, although previously had a physical place to turn to for support, will now have to do so, as pointing from the American company, thank you ” It has been found online solutions and by phone at three purposes for which the stores are not needed now “were created.
But it seems that there is nothing to be afraid, and qu e as pointed Kleyweg, “some may think that this is the beginning of the death of the product but is just a smart business strategy by Google”

An international research consortium involving the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has validated the usefulness of mice for testing new therapies and drugs, considering that look similar to the human genome.
The validation result of a study published in the journal Nature, is based on A comprehensive description of the functional elements of the genome of mice and comparison with the human genome, reported Wednesday the CRG in a statement.
The mouse is one of the most used animal models to study human biology and is used to create models of human diseases and test new drugs and therapies, has highlighted one of the principal investigators of the study and coordinator of Bioinformatics and Genomics program at CRG, Roderic Guigó.
The study validates in much of the utility of this animal model and offers a “tremendous support” for use in human disease because they found that many cellular processes are highly conserved in both species, such as in embryonic development.
“Knowing these similarities will allow more precise studies of human biology,” said Guigó, which specified that the international work has discovered the keys that could explain why some processes and systems in mice, as the immune system, metabolism and stress response, are so different when it comes to humans. DATA FOR SCIENTISTS
Scientists have detailed functional parts of the mouse genome and compared with those of humans: it has resulted in a set of data-now available to the community that scientifically will be relevant to the investigation in mammalian biology, and for studying the mechanisms of human diseases.
The results of this comparison examines the genetic and biochemical processes that regulate genome activity in humans and mice, and find that, in general, the systems used to monitor the activity of the genome are very similar in both species have been preserved over time

Science. Scholars say that the microbial composition of saliva is more complex in people who have a regular partner. From Holland came the report. According to the Organisation for Scientific Research a passionate kiss transferred 80 million bacteria
Obviously, from the moment that has been given to the news have been many reactions that have taken place on this particular case.
It is not least because it has a special interest and well being tested in several Internet forums, social networks and media.
This is the main conclusion of a study published in the journal Microbiome. The authors of a research ensures that couples kissing at least nine times a day communities share similar oral bacteria.
The Most
as 50
80 million of microbiotic transferred during a kiss ten seconds long, according to a study published in Microbiome.
The ecosystem of over one hundred trillion microorganisms living in our body, the microbiome is essential for digestion and prevention of the disease. It is shaped by genetics, diet and age but also by the people with whom we interact. Dutch researchers studied 21 couples, including the frequency with which they kissed and taking samples of tongue and saliva.
The results showed that when the salivary microbiota intimately kissing couples at relatively high frequencies becomes similar and found that at least nine kisses intimate day cause couples share significantly its salivary microbiota.
In a controlled kisses experiment, a member of each of the partners took a probiotic drink that has specific strains of bacteria. After an intimate kiss, found that probiotic bacteria in saliva receptor tripled and 80 million bacteria transferred during a kiss ten seconds.
How could it be otherwise we will look at all developments as they arise on this case, which is attracting media attention in the country.
