Volvo has developed a self parking car in collaboration with Linköping University"In the project, four ultrasound sensors have been fitted on a Volvo S60, pointing in the directions indicated in the right figure above. When the driver initiates a parking space scan, the system fires and reads the sensors. A number of clever algorithms turn the measurement data into knowledge about the space position and size. When the space is identified and is determined to be large enough for the car, the system tells the driver that a pocket exists. The driver stops and reverses and the prototype electric power steering as well as braking is controlled by the parking computer so that the car is driven into the pocket safely, as shown in the left movie.

Just in yesterday from reader Michael Hoffman. Below, the Ananova story: Stilton launch blue cheese perfume The makers of the famously pungent Stilton blue cheese have launched their own perfume [top]. And they have approached Cat Deeley (below) to be the face of Eau de Stilton. It claims to "recreate the earthy and fruity aroma" of the cheese "in an eminently wearable perfume". The perfume, blended by a Manchester-based aromatics company, features a "symphony of natural base notes including yarrow, angelica seed, clary sage and valerian". It was commissioned by the Stilton Cheesemakers' Association as part of a campaign to persuade more people to eat their product.

I just received the email below to my spam folder. The sender address is someone @ntlworld.com and the 'to' address is nio0205 @yahoo.com which is definitely not my email address.I'm totally confused about this email. It could be a regular spam/advertising email but on the other hand it could be a psychological warfare attempt by Spammers fighting against Blue Security and its users. For background about Blue Security and Spammers wars read here.The email recommends a company that sells anti DDOS device and mentions that its founder is Blue Security CEO Eran Reshef.The structure of the email is strange since in the company profile section it just mentions two executives.
