BMWs E Ink color changing technology stole the show at CES 2022. Even non-car journalists and tech fans were wowed by the fascinating new technology, which allowed the BMW iX to change its exterior color from white to black and back again. However, some car enthusiasts, while impressed by the tech itself, struggled to find a real-world use-case scenarios for the tech, other than showing off. So we thought wed list off a few genuinely useful applications of the E Ink tech, to prove that it could be a worthwhile technological pursuit.

Ever been to a car dealership that just doesnt have the car you want in the color you want but you dont want to order it without seeing the color in person? Happens all the time, as dealers cant always stock every color option. With one E Ink demo on the showroom floor, the dealer could, in theory, cycle through all of the cars colors, to show customers what they look like in the flesh. Not only would that cut back on dealer stock, making inventory more convenient for them, it would provide customers a better experience.

Admittedly, the tech would have to improve for that to happen, as even the best versions of this technology are limited to a handful of colors, but the project lead on BMWs E Ink tech, Dr. Stella Clarke, said a wider color gamut was possible in the future.

During BMWs presentations of the BMW iX Flow with E Ink technology, one of the use cases for the tech was finding your lost car in a parking lot. With the push of a keyfob button, the car could flash its entire body colors back and forth, making it easier to spot. But what if we take that one step further and use it for emergency flashers?

Lets say your car is stuck on the side of the road in a snow storm, having the entire vehicles exterior flash from your body color to red and back, constantly, would make your car far easier to spot for emergency personnel. It could also potentially be used to flash specific warnings on the body of the car, to help emergency personnel understand the situation before they even get out of the car.

Spouses, partners, or whoever cohabitates and shares the same car, could each have the color they want. Raise your hands, whos ever bought a car and you wanted one specific color but your partner wanted another and you just couldnt agree? Happened to me, when we bought my wifes Volkswagen Tiguan. I wanted Dark Moss Green and my wife wanted white. Guess which color we got?

With BMWs E Ink technology, both partners could have the color they want and just switch the color back and forth, depending on whos driving it. At the moment, the tech only works with two colors it could be any two colors but only two but thats all a couple would need. One color for each partner and everyones happy.

This one more helps other motorists than it does the owner of the E Inked BMW. While charging, you can easily see your cars battery status from whatever connected app it has. However, for people searching for a charging port to use, it could be helpful to see just how close a car is to being done charging. If youre searching a packed charging station and you see that the BMW iXs E Ink exterior is displaying a nearly full charge, you might hang out a bit to see if the owner leaves soon, this way you dont miss the spot.

Also, for the owner, its a bit more convenient, if the car is in your driveway, to just take a look out of your window to see your cars battery status, rather than opening up the app and waiting for it to load and connect. It might not be the most necessary function but nice things make life nicer.

So there are some genuine real-world applications for BMWs E Ink technology that could make ownership better, safer, and more enjoyable. At the moment, its just a flashy tech exercise but, if given the development money and resources, BMWs E Ink could be a hugely helpful technology moving forward.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Category Creation and Digital Ecosystems in Wearable Technology" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This approximately 25,000-word (99 pages) report provides a well-organized thematic analysis of the statements and activities of wearable technology companies.

It deconstructs the business concepts of category creation and digital ecosystems, providing a framework that informs business innovation and investments in new areas.

The launch of Apple's streaming service and the recently declared pivot by Facebook, now a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, increased the importance of an up-to-date and forward-thinking understanding of hardware-supported digital worlds. Additionally, the pandemic has made health/wellness-supporting tools more relevant.

New or evolving categories might initially allow for higher prices, either to reflect the novelty or the newfound benefit that novelty represents, such as increased convenience or even social status. This is the case with wearable technologies.

Through these premiums or sheer volume, category-creating businesses often achieve faster revenue growth, as well as higher valuations, especially if they actively build buzz or rewrite narratives.

However, the long-term consumer interest in maintaining pricey subscriptions that add value to wearable technology use is unclear and possibly overestimated.

The report is structured as follows:

This report will provide comprehensive answers to the following key questions:

Key Topics Covered:

In this issue: delivering tangible climate change regulation, the role of cryptocurrency in power, and the Ukrainian debt dispute.

Could 2022 be the year that climate change regulation gets tangible? Environmentalists have been urging the worlds governments, companies and leading decision-makers to take environmental protection more seriously for years, but in the wake of COP26, and with increasingly dire warnings about the worlds climate and the impacts of human activity on its fragile nature, 2022 could be the year that those warnings are finally heeded.

Indeed, with financial pressures also pushing many producers away from fossil fuels, and towards renewables, there is genuine hope that clean power becomes a project of not only environmental benefit, but profitable enterprise too. Of course, challenges remain to realising these ambitions on a global scale, but there remains cause for optimism.

Elsewhere, we consider the potential impacts of the increasingly popular, and energy-intensive, cryptocurrency mining industry, which threatens to disrupt both traditional ways of conducting business, and the power infrastructure behind those transactions. We also investigate the Ukrainian power debt dispute, and ask whether mandatory power auctions are harming the countrys stuttering renewables sector.

Building real change: the new issue of Future Power Technology is out now - Power Technology

This column is an opinionby Kate Schneider,a master's student at the University of Oxford from Waterloo, Ont.For more information aboutCBC's Opinion section, please see theFAQ.

Last month, CBC released a report divulging new details about the Toronto Police Service's use of Clearview AI's controversial surveillance technology. The findings confirmed that Toronto police had employed facial recognition software to identify both suspects and victims in several dozen police investigations.

These findings built on news from February 2020 that initially revealed several officers had used a trial version of the software, despite their denial of its use a month prior.

This news in itself is deeply unsettling, and not just for the privacy implications. It reveals a concerning degree of power held by police forces and how certain technologies can enable the abuse of that power.

The Toronto Police Service is not the only law enforcement agency in Canada to have come under fire for its relationship with Clearview AI. These revelations were announced in the wake of Canada's Privacy Commissioner ruling in June that the RCMP's use of Clearview AI to scrape online images of Canadians without their consent violated the federal Privacy Act. Police departments in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa have also disclosed using or "testing" this software in the past.

Clearview AI is based in the United States, yet is well-known globally for its facial recognition software. Multiple police departments around the world have admitted to using this technology, including departments in the United States, France, Australia, and the United Kingdom.Most of these countries have asked Clearview to purge its database of images collected there. It is projected that one-quarter of U.S. police forces have facial recognition tools at their disposal.

This facial recognition technology can be applied in a number of situations. Police have been criticized for using it to identify protestors at public demonstrations. They can also pull footage from CCTV cameras near crime scenes and attempt to match the identified faces with Clearview AI's alarmingly vast database of over 10 billion images scraped from social media websites.

Clearview AI's capabilities are becoming even more terrifyingly sophisticated. In October 2021, CEO Hoan Ton-That announced that Clearview was developing new facial recognition tools that could unblur faces disguised for privacy reasons or identify someone even when masked.

In a time when law enforcement agencies have already come under heightened scrutiny through movements like Defund the Police, Canadian police forces' relationship with Clearview AI should make us even more skeptical of expanding police power.

In particular, the ability of police to surveil Canadians is most concerning for the potential impacts on racialized people, especially Black and Indigenous individuals.

Although we sometimes pretend that racism is exclusively an American problem, Canada has its own established history of racial discrimination carried out by police. As activist and writer Desmond Cole has documented, Canadian police have upheld racially discriminatory programs, such as carding. An Ontario Human Rights Commission report in 2020 also found that Toronto police disproportionately targeted Black Canadians.

Technology is often portrayed as less biased due to assumptions that it eliminates human prejudice. However, police surveillance software has been shown to misidentify racialized individuals at a higher rate than white suspects.

With all these factors compounded together, it's clear that police employing surveillance technology is not only an issue of privacy. It's also an issue of racism.

Canadian police forces' use of Clearview AI demonstrates a need to regulate facial recognition surveillance technologies due to their disturbing abilities to violate our privacy. More fundamentally, it also shows the need to be increasingly wary of the power wielded by police in Canada.

As shown, the speed of technological innovation and the correspondingly more sophisticated tools available to law enforcement will only continue to exacerbate the risks of allowing extensive police power. While all Canadians should be concerned, our country's previous history of policing shows that racialized individuals will most likely disproportionately suffer the consequences.

Experts and advocates against police violence have already laid out multiple suggestions for how we can limit police power and keep our communities safer in alternative ways. The findings about Canadian police and Clearview AI demonstrate that it's time we paidcareful attention to these demands and act upon them.

Do you have a strong opinion that could add insight, illuminate an issue in the news, or change how people think about an issue? We want to hear from you. Here'show to pitch to us.

Use of controversial surveillance technology demonstrates the need to limit police power - CBC News

Lyten, an advanced materials company developing lithium-sulfur battery technology based on Lyten 3D Graphene, has announced that it secured a prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreement in support of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) around high-specific energy storage and management solutions.

A core objective of the agreement is to demonstrate a lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery solution that will significantly increase the duty cycle of small satellites for the U.S. Space Force, which is one of many applications for the new Li-S battery technology. The ultimate goal of the effort is to develop a lithium-sulfur rechargeable battery capable of three times the energy storage capacity of current lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, enabling the use of higher duty cycle spacecraft and those that function longer during an eclipse.

Lyten has been developing its pristine, 3-dimensional graphene material that can be formulated and tuned at the molecular level and used to significantly improve batteries among other applications. When formulated into its advanced Li-S battery chemistry, Lyten's batteries reportedly deliver greater energy density, superior temperature performance, faster recharging time, and greatly improved safety.

Additionally, Lyten's cell technology is based on sustainable materials, requiring no cobalt, nickel or other rare minerals and provides the lowest carbon footprint of any battery. Through its unique Li-S batteries and proprietary, 3-dimensional graphene technology, Lyten is poised for additional improvements in the near future.

"Our state-of-the-art battery solution gives the DIU and U.S. Space Force a tool that will enable the use of smaller, lighter battery packs, better positioning them to use smaller spacecrafts, reduce the overall cost to orbit, and sustain Low Earth Orbit operations during eclipse," said Shawn Black, President of Government, Aerospace & Defense at Lyten. "We look forward to successfully fulfilling the testing phase of this project and engaging with the DIU again in the future."

With advanced energy and materials being a key part of the DIU's initiative, Lyten was first awarded the contract in spring 2020 and since then has rapidly and successfully prototyped three different battery configurations, including pouch cells and cylindrical cells. The batteries will undergo a comprehensive level of testing as requested by the Space Systems Command, prior to production implementation.

Ryan Phelan: How gene technology can save species on the brink of extinction - NPR

I was browsing through some of the sources I have used for this column recently and one from the past (September 19, 2016) caught my interest again, I used to be a Human Being by Andrew Sullivan. It was a criticism of the social outcomes wrought by, you guessed it, the internet, but it was the subtitle that really interested me: An endless bombardment of news and gossip and images has rendered us manic information addicts. It broke me. It might break you, too. He backs up his claims that range from spread of misinformation to the mechanisms it uses that will lead to addiction. If your search engine can find the article, I highly recommend reading it if only for the line, If the internet killed you, I used to joke, then I would be the first to find out.

My initial reaction was if that was true over five years ago, is it better now or worse? Well, to cut to the chase, some things are better and some are worse.

PROS AND CONS

On the positive side, the internet has a plethora of videos from showing you how to fix your washing machine to dealing with your computer (most of the time). Its an easy way to keep in touch with friends, make travel plans, arrange your photos, shop, and, well, you fill in the rest. One can subscribe to receive current news on the Washington Post, The New York Times, Wikipedia and the Wall Street Journal to check or explore source materials for their column. Just sayin.

On the negative side there also exist sites that can cause harm to the user and thus harm society. For example, consider the truly evil websites like the how to commit suicide website directed at teens which can be easily spread via the Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok sites. Additionally, the TikTok site has an app that recommends teens to take extreme measures to lose weight with diets ranging from 300 calories per day to taking laxatives after overeating and if they find that they just cant adhere to the stupid and spartan diet, other teens resort to shaming them, You realize giving up after a week. Isnt going to get you anywhere, right? ... Youre disgusting, its really embarrassing.

To be fair, TikTok said it would adjust its recommendation algorithms to avoid showing users too much of the same content, as part of a broad reevaluation of social media platforms and the potential harm they pose to younger users.

To test this out I tried typing how to commit suicide in google search and got 322,000,000 hits and the first page looked like this

RUMOR TO DANGER

The internet is exceptionally good at spreading most any unsubstantiated rumor. like the Pizzagate affair which included the outragious claims that Hilary Clinton was using a pizza shop to snare unsuspecting children that were to be sold to sex traffickers.

Pizzagate was so effective in convincing one man that pedophile Democrats were abusing children in the basement of a Washington pizza restaurant that in 2016, he showed up with an AR-15 to rescue the nonexistent children. He was sentenced to four years in prison for the three shots he fired into the restaurant. Pizzagate was a cautionary tale, showing how online conspiracy theories about sex-trafficked children could lead to real-life violence. But that did nothing to stop more made-up stories from spreading.

For a more comprehensive analysis, search on:

Pizzagate: From rumor, to hashtag, to gunfire in D.C 2016 on washingtonpost.com

For another horrific example of the internet amplifying rumors and presenting them as facts, search on Wayfair hoax Washington Post where a weird combination of circumstance and a propensity to believe conspiracy theories turned a harmless two-day run-away by a teen into another sex-trafficking bundle of misinformation, harming many folks along the way. The article is too long to describe all of the mayhem caused, not least that the police and social services personnel were reassigned from real jobs to work on this fake one.

A less deadly but important example is from the Dec 13, 2021 article in the New York Times,

Now in Your Inbox: Political Misinformation

At least eight Republican lawmakers sent fund-raising emails containing a brazen distortion of a potential settlement with migrants separated from their families during the Trump administration. One of them, Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana, falsely claimed that President Biden was giving every illegal immigrant that comes into our country $450,000.

Those claims were grounded in news that the Justice Department was negotiating payments to settle lawsuits filed on behalf of immigrant families whom the Trump administration had separated, some of whom have not been reunited. But the payments, which are not final and could end up being smaller, would be limited to that small fraction of migrants.

SPINNING PLATES

This is a good example of fibbing by omission. What the Inbox article omitted was an explanation of why it might actually be a cheaper and a more efficient way to control the current flood of immigrants into this country. It could cost more money for continuing to enforce the illegal immigrant problem we already are confronted with. But, then again we are dealing with politicians, and as the old saying goes, The best way to tell if a politician is lying is that his lips are moving.

The Mathematician and Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead (18611947) states in his book The Aims of Education a viewpoint that I have always thought as a given: Civilization advances in direct proportion to the number of operations humanity can perform without thinking about them. And I still believe it applies to many things today such as elevators, air conditioners, and automobiles, but it seems to me that this viewpoint is not entirely true about the internet. Along with its many conveniences come unforeseen problems that can only be solved by thinking about them.

TRIBECA, Manhattan If you ever feel like someone is watching you or tracking your every move, you might be right. Its something model Brooks Nader said happened to her in what she calls the scariest moment of her life.

And experts told PIX11 News that Naders story is far from unusual.

Nadar said she realized a stranger planted an Airtag in her coat pocket while she was out at a Lower Manhattan bar, using it to follow her for at least five hours.

The technology is supposed to be used for convenience, but security expert Manny Gomez said its being used for more nefarious purposes as well.

He said, its an easy, inexpensive way to stalk people.

In a statement, an Apple spokesperson said the Airtag is designed with a set of proactive features to discourage unwanted tracking.

However, Gomez said those safeguards dont protect people who dont have an Apple device.

If you have an Android it is close to impossible right now, even though Apple is working on ways to track it on other devices, he said.

Fortunately, Nader was not hurt in the incident just shaken up. Gomez offered PIX11 News his advice on how to protect against the technology.

Check yourself, he said, check your bag and your clothing to make sure you dont have any devices on you.

AIKEN, S.C. (WJBF) According to recent data, NewsChannel 6 has learned crime is down by 18 percent in the city of Aiken. Law enforcement says that is in part to new personnel and new technology.

Compared to last year, homicides, aggravated assaults, and car thefts are down in the city of Aiken. Fraud is slightly up. Although the department lost an officer due to COVID-19, leaders say 2021 was a good year. No officers were seriously injured or killed, and we kept our community as safe as we could, Capt. Marty Sawyer, with the investigations division of the Aiken Department of Public Safety, told NewsChannel 6s Aiken Bureau Chief Shawn Cabbagestalk. Were particularly proud because our crimes were down in 2021, he added.

To help keep the community safe, ADPS hired a crime analyst to determine where crimes are happening the most. I run the numbers and present them every week to the department heads and the shift leaders that way they know if there is a rise this week compared to last week and what the numbers look like this year compared to last year, crime analyst Kristin Hontz said. Whether its a violent crime, whether its speeding, whether theres a lot of wrecks, car break-ins, catalytic converter theft, whatever it may be. They can see that in their computer, and they can go focus on the areas more, and we can put more people in the area, Capt. Sawyer added.

The department now has a partnership with Aiken Barnwell Mental Health that has helped reduce crime. The partnership is to provide extra help for officers because confrontations involving people with mental illness can escalate quickly without it. If theres a problem with mental health or somebody that we think has mental health problems that we cant handle on our own, theyll come out and assist us by talking to the person, making a decision or whether they need to go to the hospital, making a decision where they need, you know, follow up later on whatever the case may be, he shared.

Law enforcement says that COVID-19 prevented them from getting out to hold community-building events. They plan to get that back underway this year. The law-abiding citizens are happy to see us and want us around, Capt. Sawyer recalled. The ones who are breaking law dont want us there, he added.

He also said that those events are to spend time in the community to have their officers know the neighborhoods and the people who live in them.

Authorities say another tool they have in reducing crime is you. If you see something, say something, if you have information about a crime or about activity thats suspicious in your neighborhood, call and let us know, Hontz said. Weve been putting up certain cases on Facebook asking for the publics assistance. It can be completely anonymous, but the more information that they can provide, then the more we can bring justice to the victims of the crime, she added.

Meanwhile, numbers are continuing to be larger for larceny charges. Law enforcement suggests it could be due to thefts of catalytic converters.
