MIT researchers have built a wearable sensor system that automatically creates a digital map of the environment through which the wearer is moving. The prototype system, described in a paper slated for the Intelligent Robots and Systems conference in Portugal next month, is envisioned as a tool to help emergency responders coordinate disaster response.
In experiments conducted on the MIT campus, a graduate student wearing the sensor system wandered the halls, and the sensors wirelessly relayed data to a laptop in a distant conference room. Observers in the conference room were able to track the student's progress on a map that sprang into being as he moved.
Connected to the array of sensors is a handheld pushbutton device that the wearer can use to annotate the map. In the prototype system, depressing the button simply designates a particular location as a point of interest. But the researchers envision that emergency responders could use a similar system to add voice or text tags to the map ? indicating, say, structural damage or a toxic spill.
"The operational scenario that was envisioned for this was a hazmat situation where people are suited up with the full suit, and they go in and explore an environment," says Maurice Fallon, a research scientist in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and lead author on the new paper. "The current approach would be to textually summarize what they had seen afterward ? 'I went into this room on the left, I saw this, I went into the next room,' and so on. We want to try to automate that."
Fallon is joined on the paper by professors John Leonard and Seth Teller, of, respectively, the departments of Mechanical Engineering and of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), and EECS grad students Hordur Johannsson and Jonathan Brookshire.
Shaky aim
The new work builds on previous research on systems that enable robots to map their environments. But adapting the system so that a human could wear it required a number of modifications.
One of the sensors that the system uses is a laser rangefinder, which sweeps a laser beam around a 270-degree arc and measures the time that it takes the light pulses to return. If the rangefinder is level, it can provide very accurate information about the distance of the nearest walls, but a walking human jostles it much more than a rolling robot does. Similarly, sensors in a robot's wheels can provide accurate information about its physical orientation and the distances it covers, but that's missing with humans. And as emergency workers responding to a disaster might have to move among several floors of a building, the system also has to recognize changes in altitude, so it doesn't inadvertently overlay the map of one floor with information about a different one.So in addition to the rangefinder, the researchers also equipped their sensor platform with a cluster of accelerometers and gyroscopes, a camera, and, in one group of experiments, a barometer (changes in air pressure proved to be a surprisingly good indicator of floor transitions). The gyroscopes could infer when the rangefinder was tilted ? information the mapping algorithms could use in interpreting its readings ? and the accelerometers provided some information about the wearer's velocity and very good information about changes in altitude.
Adjudicating the data from all the other sensors is the camera. Every few meters, the camera takes a snapshot of its surroundings, and software extracts a couple of hundred visual features from the image ? particular patterns of color, or contours, or inferred three-dimensional shapes. Each batch of features is associated with a particular location on the map.
Seeing is believing
If the person wearing the sensors returns to an area that he or she has previously visited, the system's location estimate could be off: For instance, its compensation for the tilt of the rangefinder might not have been perfect, and a wall now looks several feet farther away than it did, or its inference of position from accelerometer data could be off. In such cases, a fresh snapshot and a comparison of the visual features with those already stored can help correct its location estimate.
The prototype of the sensor platform consists of a handful of devices attached to a sheet of hard plastic about the size of an iPad, which is worn on the chest like a backward backpack. The only sensor whose volume can't be reduced significantly is the rangefinder, so in principle, the whole system could be shrunk to about the size of a coffee mug.

Getty ImagesThe standard for determining whether a call should be overturned by replay review, as once explained by former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, is whether 50 drunks in a bar would agree that it was a bad call.
As to the final play from last night?s Packers-Seahawks game, millions of sober people believe that the ruling on the field should have been overturned.? Those millions don?t include the league office ? and they definitely don?t include Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.
?They said that the call was correct, and after review [it] was correct . . . because it was a simultaneous catch,? Carroll said Tuesday, on ESPN 710?s Brock & Salk.? ?So that?s it.? And that?s the NFL who?s in charge of the whole thing.? That?s not the officials on the field, that?s the league office said that.? And so, you know, it?s hard for everybody to accept, but that?s what it is and I don?t care.?
Regardless of whether there was indisputable visual evidence to reverse the touchdown, Carroll seems to think that the call as made on the field was the correct call.
?They were right on the point, looking right at it,? Carroll said of the officials.?? ?Standing right over the thing.? And they reviewed it.? Whether they missed the push or not, obviously they missed the push in there, in the battle for the ball.? But that stuff goes on all time.? They see it, they don?t see it.? That happens with the official officials.? And so the result is they called it, the league backed it up, game over, we win.?
Carroll may feel that way, some of his players may feel that way, and some of the team?s fans may feel that way.? But most objective observers believe it was a bad call, that it should have been overturned, and that the NFL?s stubborn insistence on winning the negotiation with the locked-out officials has created one of the most dubious moments in league history.
Congratulations, NFL.? We can only wonder what the encore will be.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2012) ? The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced a sharp image of NGC 4634, a spiral galaxy seen exactly side-on. Its disk is slightly warped by ongoing interactions with a nearby galaxy, and it is crisscrossed by clearly defined dust lanes and bright nebulae.
NGC 4634, which lies around 70 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Coma Berenices, is one of a pair of interacting galaxies. Its neighbor, NGC 4633, lies just outside the upper right corner of the frame, and is visible in wide-field views of the galaxy. While it may be out of sight, it is not out of mind: its subtle effects on NGC 4634 are easy to see to a well-trained eye.
Gravitational interactions pull the neat spiral forms of galaxies out of shape as they get closer to each other, and the disruption to gas clouds triggers vigorous episodes of star formation. While this galaxy's spiral pattern is not directly visible thanks to our side-on perspective, its disk is slightly warped, and there is clear evidence of star formation.
Along the full length of the galaxy, and scattered around parts of its halo, are bright pink nebulae. Similar to the Orion Nebula in the Milky Way, these are clouds of gas that are gradually coalescing into stars. The powerful radiation from the stars excites the gas and makes it light up, much like a fluorescent sign. The large number of these star formation regions is a telltale sign of gravitational interaction.
The dark filamentary structures that are scattered along the length of the galaxy are caused by cold interstellar dust blocking some of the starlight.
Hubble's image is a combination of exposures in visible light produced by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.

Go vegetarian at Scarpetta.Photo: Noah Sheldon/New York Magazine
As always, we kick off the week with Eat Well, our guide to great food that isn't totally terrible for your well being. This week brings us Scarpetta's vegetarian menu, the early details on an awesome one-off family-style meal at Court St. Grocers, healthy drinks, and lots, lots more. Keep on reading to see where to find it.
Monday, September 24: Scarpetta's Veggies
Amazingly, it?s still hard to find an NYC chef who gives equal love to his vegetables as he does to his meats and starches, so Scott Conant gets big props for introducing an all-vegetarian menu at Scarpetta. With hearty dishes like rosemary-braised lentils and vegetables, and farro risotto to choose from, you won't even realize it's missing meat.
Tuesday, September 25: Food Science at Rouge Tomate
Food synergy: It's the idea that pairing foods strategically results in ultimate health benefits (e.g., beans and rice make a complete protein; tomatoes with olive oil makes for maximum nutrient absorption). That?s one of the guiding principles at local, seasonal Rouge Tomate, where everything on the menu is deceptively healthy.
Wednesday, September 26: Healthy Drinks the Beagle
Sherry, the fortified, oxidized wine that?s been making somewhat of a comeback lately, is good for your heart. It seems that the palomino grape from whence it comes has compounds that help out with your cholesterol ratios (raising the good, lowering the bad ? you know the deal). Try a glass at the Beagle, which has a wide array of the stuff, plus a fun diagram of sherry?s flavor spectrum on their menu.
Thursday, September 27: Inspired Raw Fish in Soho
The new restaurant at the Mondrian Soho, Isola Trattoria & Crudo Bar, is an omega-3 party. Do your cardiovascular system a favor and make a meal of fluke, Meyer lemon, and olive oil, snapper with cantaloupe and fuji apple, and other choices from the crudo menu.
Friday, September 28: Friday Night Dinner at Court St. Grocers
Every Friday, this charming Cobble Hill specialty foods shop serves a killer meal. You normally have to pay attention to their Twitter feed to find out last minute what?s on offer, but Eat Well?s got your back: This week?s menu features humanely raised, antibiotic-free roasted pork shoulder from Heritage USA; black-eyed peas; collards; and macaroni and cheese. Not health food by any stretch, but good-quality, ethically sourced, cozy food ? like going home but tastier.
Kate Lowenstein is the senior features editor at Health Magazine.

Having put the phat back in phablet with its original 4:3 aspect ratio, 5-inch Optimus Vu, LG seems bent on releasing a successor already, the Optimus Vu II, according to a leak from Korean blog Bad IT Tong. The new Galaxy Note II challenger would carry the same form factor and 1080 x 768 IPS screen as the current Vu model, while doubling the RAM to 2GB, bumping the Qualcomm processor to an 8960 1.5GHz dual-core model (not the international quad-core version) and keeping the LTE radio from its US Intuition variant. It would come out of the box with Android 4.0, an 8-megapixel rear shooter, 32GB of storage and a 2080 mAh battery, judging by the leaked image above -- all specs we've seen before. There's no word yet on US pricing, availability, a stylus or an intriguing universal remote app teased by LG, but recent purchasers of the original Optimus Vu might be feeling left in a technology wake.

MADRID (AP) ? Fans trying to attend a free event hosted by MTV rioted outside a Madrid theater early Saturday after it closed its doors to avoid exceeding capacity limits, officials said. About 60 people sustained minor injuries and 11 others were arrested.
Thousands of people had turned up at the venue late Friday for the lineup of Spanish Indie music acts, police said. Once the theater was full, scuffles broke out in the streets outside and people began throwing bottles.
Riot police, some on horseback, were deployed to the area after garbage containers were set ablaze. Several parked cars were damaged in the unrest and blazing objects were placed in the road to obstruct the arrival of police vehicles.
Hundreds of youngsters ran away from the scene as police vans began to arrive, according to video footage on the website of news agency Europa Press.
"I saw thousands of young people blocking roads near the theater as fire trucks and ambulances began to arrive," taxi driver Jesus Gonzalez said after driving past the area at 3 a.m.
The Metropolitan Police Union said the popularity of the event had however caught Madrid city council, a co-sponsor of the event, by surprise.
Another free pop concert, with a lineup of Spanish pop-music acts, was scheduled at the same venue by MTV for Saturday night.
MTV officials didn't immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
"Once again MTV causes mayhem in Madrid with two days of concerts," according to posters advertising the event, called "MTV Madrid Beach."

ScienceDaily (Sep. 21, 2012) ? Why do many heavy smokers evade lung cancer while others who have never lit up die of the disease? The question has vexed scientists for decades.
Now, new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests a key immune cell may play a role in lung cancer susceptibility. Working in mice, they found evidence that the genetic diversity in natural killer cells, which typically seek out and destroy tumor cells, contributes to whether or not the animals develop lung cancer.
The research is published in September in Cancer Research.
?Overall, humans are genetically very similar but their immune systems are incredibly diverse,? explains senior author Alexander Krupnick, MD, a thoracic surgeon at the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. ?Our findings add to the growing body of evidence suggesting that innate differences in immunity may determine not only a person?s susceptibility to colds but also to lung cancer.?
Based on the findings in mice, Krupnick says he and his colleagues now are studying whether humans have a similar genetic diversity in their natural killer cells. As part of a new clinical study, they?re analyzing the blood of heavy smokers with and without lung cancer and never-smokers with and without lung cancer to look for differences.
?We want to know whether heavy smokers who don?t get lung cancer have natural killer cells that are somehow better at destroying newly developing lung cancer cells,? says Krupnick, associate professor of surgery. ?And, by comparison, do patients who have never smoked but develop lung cancer have weak natural killer cells??
For the mouse study, the scientists evaluated three groups of mice with varying susceptibilities to lung tumors. After the mice were exposed to a carcinogen that causes lung cancer, one group readily developed the disease while another showed little evidence of the tumors. A third group experienced moderate tumor growth.
When the researchers depleted natural killers cells from the mice using an antibody, those that had been resistant to lung cancer developed large, aggressive tumors.
Further, in mice susceptible to lung cancer, the scientists showed that manipulating the immune system with a bone marrow transplant could significantly block the development of lung cancer. Their studies indicate that natural killer cells, not other types of immune cells like T cells or inflammatory cells, are responsible for this phenomenon.
In other types of cancers, including those of the breast, colon and prostate, T cells are capable of destroying tumor cells. But in lung cancer, scientists suspect that T cells become inactivated, which may give natural killer cells a more prominent role.
The researchers also traced the genetic diversity of the natural killer cells in the mice to a region of chromosome 6, which includes numerous genes that influence the effectiveness of these cells.
Moving forward, Krupnick and his team want to learn whether natural killer cells influence lung cancer susceptibility in people. ?We need to identify those patients who are resistant to lung cancer and ask, ?What is unique about their natural killer cells ? are they more potent or do they produce more of them than people with lung cancer?? The answer will determine our next steps.?
