e-Sniffer, Lost Mobile Tracking Solution (LMTS), developed in India
by madhuresh.singhal 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

You might be interested to know this news item. e-Sniffer, a Lost Mobile Tracking Solution (LMTS) is developed by P Sekhar, chairman and managing director of Micro Technologies, and his team to trace lost mobiles. This software allows the owner of the lost mobile to track the exact location of the handset and the number of the new SIM (subscriber identity module) card that has been inserted. The code, downloadable at Rs 200 to Rs 300 a year on most handsets from Micro's website. Explaining the technology, Sekhar said that when a phone is stolen, the thief generally sells the device in the grey market. When a new SIM card is inserted, the solution embedded in the phone will send an email or voice message to the original owner notifying him of the number on the new SIM card and the location of the phone. In this situation the third party has to return the gadget procured from the grey market. The e-Sniffer is awaiting a patent right. It was created with an investment of Rs 50 lakh. ************************************************************************************************ This email and its attachments are confidential and proprietary to Advinus Therapeutics Pvt.

Using Your Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive
by madhuresh.singhal 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Dear Friends, You may like to read the article "Using Your Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive" available at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=435697&rl=1 This article tells how you can use Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive. A gist of the article is as below. "People use online email account as a way to store important files, which they mail to themselves as attachments. Many uses Gmail for this purpose as it is offering more than 2 GB space. For this purpose, one has to create a message, attach the desired file, and then send message, which is time consuming. This article introduce you to GMail Drive, a shell namespace extension that lets you use its Gmail account on its Windows operating system-just as if it were a real drive on your hard disk. You can probably retire your USB drive." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- Recent news about Google is that you can do Google search without typing the keywords. This is targeted for mobile users. Short news item is as below. For details, refer to http://infotech.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1493312.cms "The search giant Google is developing a service wherein you are needless to give any text based search queries, just say it loud. Google has patented its new search innovation - voice based search. Instead of using text-based search queries Google would be able to receive voice-activated search queries. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user. Users can have a demo of Google voice search on Google Labs, Google's pre-beta-test site. The application is targetted at cell phone users." Regards Madhuresh Singhal Assoc. Res. Scientist - Inf. Sc.

Re: [km4dev-l] Knowledge Management Capacity for African Research
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Friends: One of the key components of "Knowledge Management Capacity for Research Institutes and Networks" in East Africa or elsewhere is setting up of interoperable institutional archives (such as in CERN, Geneva, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), AND more importantly mandating open access for all publications resulting from publicly-funded research. Unlike parts of corporate information, research information leads to maximum benefit only when it is allowed to flow freely and is shared with other researchers worldwide. I suggest that GDN, WBI and ACBF include a session on open access and invite experts like Dr Leslie Chan of the University of Toronto, who is especially passionate about promoting OA in the developing world. I would also like to draw the attention of the workshop organisers and participants to a paper written by Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop and Subbiah Arunachalam for SciDev.Net on "OPEN ACCESS ARCHIVING: THE FAST TRACK TO BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES" and to another paper I coauthored with Peter Suber: "Open Access to Science in the Developing World" [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/wsis2.htm] Subbiah Arunachalam Distinguished Fellow MSSRF, Chennai 600 113 India > Dear All, > > The Global Development Network (GDN) in cooperation with the World Bank > Institute (WBI) and the Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) is > organizing a workshop entitled "Knowledge Management Capacity for African > Research Institutes and Networks: East Africa Workshop".
