Well I had received the results for my previous course on PHP which is pass, and also the current CMA score on Web basics. Cma280

The video on the Storm Launcher would be delayed, because the propellors were damaged. Still waiting for the 3 blades counter rotating props, due to landing upside down and breaking the props, and I am adding sides fins because the horizontal stabilizer broke too. Going to be cutting the U shaped air con ducts for the side fins.

Cockroach the thing that make many people says eeeww, but look what I found, a mini robot that is controlled by a cockroach. :) Not bad for a pest that could be used in dangerous situation. This cockroach moves the ball which senses the direction, and then drives the robot.

That’s a roachbot

So what is the point of having a cockroach robot, other that attracting it to some waste food. See the rational in this way, the insect could be replaced with another that has special sensors to gas, chemical or objects.

Biopreneur

The next seminar is on Technology commercialisation in biotech industry held on 08 Mar at SIM University and I would be attending it.

Biopreneur a word thats from Biology and Entrepreneur, what it means is combining biotechnology with entrepreneurship. Technology moves in a break neck speed, and many exciting innovations are unavailable and unknown to most people.

Engineering has came a long way, in the order of time line from mechanical, electrical, electronics, computers, and then biomedical. Managing the field of engineering and injecting with new business models have been the critical aspects in the development of biotech firms.

Business intelligence and marketing are important to decision making and the right implementation would lead to competitive advantage in the local to global markets. Allocation of investments have on value creation for the companies.

Global supply chains such as product development, logistic and distribution are the fundamentals, and knowledge to manage operations effectively. Integrating technology with business requires skills that allows the creation of new investment opportunities.

Strategic and organisational collaboration would generate growth and value for the companies. Innovation could leverage on technological advantage and joint ventures are used to promote the new products.

Organisational practice on the leading edge technological trends in the context of business development. Various social, economic and public policies affects the outcome of the competitiveness of the business model. Legislative procedures are needed to carry out other sources of private and public listed funds.

The business plan has to conceptualise the technological implementation and supported with case studies. Be it a SME or a MNC, the analysis of the technological model and overcoming problems for a high growth biotechnology venture.

Submited my TMA01 for Biomedical report on 29 Feb before the cut off date. I had also met up with the Project supervisor Mr Jasper Tong today to discuss the details of the project, Reduction of plantar loading pressure of the foot with different padding materials.

The recent case of the JI(Jemaah Islamiah) leader Mas Selamat Kastari, escaping from a toilet break in Whitley Detention Center has made headlines in Singapore and news in other countries. It is a serious matter, as Kastari had previously planned to crash a plane into Changi Airport, and now no one knows for sure his location. Some mentioned that Kastari was deliberately released to find the real hiding place.

We wouldn’t discount the possibility of that happening. I think David Copperfield, the well known escape artist could learn a trick to make himself disappear while going for a toilet break.
