Remote-control MRI exam performed over the Internet
10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!Radiologists have developed a remote-control mechanism that allows an experienced off-site operator to control a magnetic resonance imaging machine by logging onto the Internet from a personal computer. The quality of the images from remote-control scanning was found to be superior to images obtained by a less-experienced technologist onsite. The technique is outlined in the November issue of Radiology.

- Carnegie Mellon unveils Internet-controlled robots anyone can build
04-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed new robots that are simple enough for almost anyone to build with off-the-shelf parts, but are sophisticated machines that wirelessly connect to the Internet. They can take many forms and can be easily customized. Linking wirelessly to the Internet allows users to control and monitor them from any Internet-connected computer in the world. A single new piece of hardware and a set of "recipes" make this possible.

- Recreational cocaine use may impair inhibitory control
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a study published Nov. 7 in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, researchers at Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam, led by Lorenza Colzato, employed the 'stop-signal paradigm' to measure the length of time taken by subjects to initiate and suppress a prepared reaction. The results show that while both recreational users of cocaine and non-users performed similarly in terms of response initiation, users needed significantly more time to inhibit their responses.

- Study: Wireless sensors limit earthquake damage
04-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
An earthquake engineer at Washington University in St. Louis has successfully performed the first test of wireless sensors in the simulated structural control of a model laboratory building. Shirley J. Dyke, Ph.D., the Edward C. Dicke Professor of Civil Engineering and director of the Washington University Structural Control and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory, combined the wireless sensors with special controls called magnetorheological dampers to limit damage from a simulated earthquake load.
