Robots at PARC
Email Notice
Tomorrow, Dec. 17, I will host three visitors who are bringing their robot to PARC. They will be “exploring” the hallways and the cafeteria with scanning laser range finders and video cameras.
They will engage in 3 activities:
1. Collect a dataset for use by the robotics research community to study localization and mapping.
2. Give a demonstration of the robot and allow interested people to tele-operate it.
3. Collect a dataset with people around.
Does this happen a lot?
It just so happened that I hosted a visitor to PARC over lunch on the 17th. As we chatted in the cafeteria, the robot came toward us. My visitor was not fazed and thought that this happens regularly at PARC.
Well, sort of. We do have a separate lab space for land-bound and flying robots. We don't usually let them out in cafeteria though.

Flexible Electronics: Materials and Applications
The Textbook
Flexible Electronics: Materials and Applications
Given PARC's work in flexible and printed electronics. It is little surprise that we also write the textbook on this topic. And, this is my reference reading material before attending Printed Electronics USA 2009.
Printed Electronics at PARC
Here are some of the areas that we are working on right now:
- PEN substrate
- Ink-jet printing (nanoparticle)
- Polymer dielectrics
- Polymer semiconductor
In our facility, we support different print head technologies and can customize to each project's specific needs. So far, we have done work with Microfab, Spectra, and Xerox print heads.
Sensors and applications
An area that we are seeing a lot of interests in is printed flexible sensors. We have a project that measures acceleration, pressure, acoustic, and thermal status then incorporates memory and CMOS (logic) into a single printed sensor tape. The initial work is for DARPA but it would have wide civilian applications once the technical kinks have been worked out.

Printed Electronics USA 2009 Report
PARC's Printed Electronics
PARC participated in PEUSA09 as technical presenter, facility tour sponsor, and exhibitor. Come to this annoucnement if you like to download the assets that you have seen in the show.
PEUSA09 Field Report
Several people commented that printed electronics seem to have developed a robust vendor/supplier base. And, as people stake out their claim in the upstream value-chain, the next step would be for early adopter consumers/buyers to set the application directions.
Beyond the traditional application of OLED (organic light-emitting diode - bendable display screen), flexible and disposable sensors seem to be another area that can be high value-add yet difficult to achieve with traditional silicon based solutions.
Looking at the value-chain, "system integrators" services probably will play an important match making role for the immediate future as the buyers often do not have the development capabilities in-house for printed electronics while the suppliers may be too limited, albeit very in-depth, on the modules and materials.
Not surprisingly, these are the services (characterization & optimization, application development, and full-system prototyping) that PARC offers. More importantly, we have had a lot of interesting conversations with both vendors and buyers to work with PARC.
If you are interested in what PARC can do for you in printed electronics, pls contact PEUSA09@parc.com

What do Mr IP and Mr TCP talk about?
Hero Worshiping
Vint Cerf, commonly referred to as father of IP, came to talk at PARC's Forum last week on the topic of "Information on the go".
Before the Forum talk, he came to visit with PARC and mostly hung out near the area where I sit. So, for a while, my area was pretty busy with people coming by to say hi to Vint.
Naturally, more as a brush with greatness opportunity, I emptied my mug and decided to go to the same area for a bit of star sighting.
What do father of IP and father of TCP talk about?
In case you do not know, Van Jacobson, father of TCP, works a few doors from me.
So, as I was doing my beverage refill, Vint, Van, and a couple other people were making tea and chatting. So, what do those groundbreaking great minds spending their time chin wagging about at PARC?
Eggs. How to prepare an egg. Specifically, comparing methods in making softboil eggs - how to get a hard yoke, a soft yoke, or a runny yoke.
Now you know.

Going Mainstream - Cloud Computing's First Black Eye
When a technology goes mainstream
Technology is often known for the hype it generates but less is discussed about when it has gone mainstream. One reason is that when it is integrated into the fabric of everyone usage, it is no longer visible or hype-able (if there is such a word).
Put it another way, when a technology is talked about in the context of violating an unspoken norm of everyday, it is a good indicator that it has gone mainstream.
Cloud Computing's first black eye
So, after all the accolades and fear surrounding Cloud Computing in recent years, this is the first time that it has a specific impact to a substantial number of unfortunate users when T-Mobile, Microsoft 'almost certainly' destroyed users' Sidekick data
Ironic twists of event
The first irony is that this was not high on the list of potential issues that people have been predicting about Cloud Computing.
The second level irony is that this is actually a pretty simple fix that should have been caught/designed-in when the system was being architected.
The third level of irony is that, at the end of day, human remains the biggest variable in the use of a technology.

Roman Polanski and Sentiments
Polanski in the news
Recently heard that Roman Polanski was captured and there has been lively debate on what to do with him.
I thought this could be an interesting case to see if there is any patterns on sentiments in the digital world. Unlike the Sonia Sotomayor analysis though, this is just a single slice of time look.
In the top 30 terms in the three major web results, most of them seems to be factual with a few negative terms such as "avoided."
(Correction: I originally used "repulsion" as an example of negative term, turns out that it is the title of one of Polanski's films and considered a milestone in the psychological thriller genre. My bad!)
More on the results
A reminder, if you are interested in finding out more about the result details or the inference engine used in this analysis, please let me know at yfjuan (at) parc (dot) com.

What is Next for Internet, a 40 years Anniversary
Internet is 40 years old
September 2nd, 1969 marked the birth of ARPANET which converted to TCP/IP in 1983 into what we think of as internet today.
Speaking of which, the person behind TCP, Van Jacobson, sits a few doors down from me. And, no, I am not above name dropping.
CCN and Internet
But, more critically, Van is leading the Content Centric Networking effort which will address issues confronting all the internet stakeholders.
The traditional model is to connect devices via IP addresses. With CCN, it would be content based. So, instead of having millions of connections to a single website to watch an Olympic event live (and crash the site), the content can be propagated in a way that ensures high "perceived" throughput without actually requiring a new infrastructure.
Here is a video of Van talking about the content networking idea.

The term "111th" which refers to the fact that Justice Sotomayor is the 111th for the Supreme Court, continued its appearance in the top 20.
For the first time, "Malesko" and "Alito" both showed up in all three rankings. Would this presage the basis for the first analysis of the Supreme Court once she is sworn in and decisions are rendered?

Firefighters made the top 20 list this week. Litigator also made the top 20. Two timely entries on the current discussion. We will see how long they last.
As noted last week, "racist" made an appearance. It disappeared this week and "centrist" actually made its appearance. Gingrich completely dropped off in all three results. Also interesting to note that Foxnews dropped significantly in one of the rankings.
More on the results
A reminder, if you are interested in finding out more about the result details or the inference engine used in this analysis, please let me know at yfjuan (at) parc (dot) com.

Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 6
New items and faded topics
Jarring but interesting to see that "racist" made the top 20 this week. Palin also vaulted to into the top 20 this week. Letterman made a come back to the top 20.
As noted last week, CNN indeed dropped off the list as suspected. Nightline probably did a program on this topic so it made the top 20, we will see if it stays next week. And, finally, instead of making a run for the top spot that Foxnews occupies, Gingrich lost ranking in all three results. It may be time for him to say a few new things.

Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 5
New items and faded topics
"Gingrich" is mounting a come back. It has gone up a bit on the ranking in both Yahoo and Microsoft and is just one place shy of making it into the top 20 for the Google result. Interesting to see CNN popping up high in the Yahoo result; I wonder if it will fade next week. Even more interesting, Google show up in the top 20 for Yahoo results. Not sure what is the explanation on that one.
www.foxnews.com retained its #1 ranking in two of the three search engines. I don't suppose Gingrich would make a run for the #1 spot?

Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 4
New items and faded topics
Meteor rise of "Gingrich" had an equally hasty retreat on Google. #1 last week and #30 this week. The interesting new entrant for this week is Letterman of the TV talk show fame. Do you think that is the amount of time it takes for Letterman's writers to come up with a good line on this topic?
www.foxnews.com keeps coming back up. I suppose this confirms its position as the voice of the opposition to her nomination.

Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 3
New items and faded topics
It is interesting to see how the three search engines find relevant. The new item that caught my eye for this week was the word "Gingrich" which was not in the top 20 from the prior weeks. This week, it showed up as top 20 in all three.
On the other hand, "www.huffingtonpost.com" completely disappeared in the result; not just the top 20 but the top 1,000 entries. I wonder if this means that www.huffingtonpost.com's voice is being overwhelmed?
