Notes:
By aligning the photonic band gaps for all visible frequencies it renders the ship invisible to those frequenceis. The ship can also do this for a wide range of selective frequencies… such as radar.
Anti-Gravity:
This craft uses Superfluid Helium 3 as opposed to the TR-3B and the Nazi Bell craft which use Mercury Plasma centrifuges. Both systems work to produce the same effect. A warped gravitational field around the ship and the creation of an isolated inertial reference frame.

Response to XOmniverse – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTieA27Yugo
The definition of knowledge as ‘justified true belief’ prompts me to think about what we mean when we say something is ‘true’ and how this relates to ‘belief’. Broadly speaking there are two general categories according to which truth is established; these are ‘correspondence’ and ‘coherence’. A correspondence theory would say that a proposition is true if it corresponds to some phenomena in the physical world. My thought that there is a cat on the mat, as expressed by my saying ‘the cat is on the mat’, is true if, and only if, there is indeed a domesticated feline atop a floor covering. Correspondence theories therefore depend upon both an event in ‘the outside world’ and a cognitive state ‘in my head’ which I might call my belief. When these two components are in alignment then the proposition is true.
Coherence theories of truth work differently however. In this case a proposition is true if it can be shown to be coherent within the system of concepts and proposition that it is claimed to be a part. So for example, the statement ‘2 + 2 = 4′ is true if and only if it is coherent within the system of mathematics. This could be tested by imagining substituting the phrase ‘2 + 2′ is any equation in place of the number 4. If the result is the same when these equations are solved then it has been shown that, within the system of mathematics, ‘2 + 2′ is substitutable for the character ‘4′ and therefore the proposition ‘2 + 2 = 4′ is shown to be true. A second example might be a statement such as ‘this man is my brother-in-law’. Again, this proposition would be true not because if corresponds to some internal state within my cognition but if, and only if, he is married to my sister. That is, if the system of familial relationships which determines what we call one another supports the claim that the man is my brother-in-law as coherent.
The significance of this distinction in relation to knowledge is that, whilst correspondence theories of knowledge require that there be a person or at least a cognitive process with which the material phenomena might or might not correspond, this is not the case with coherence theories. In the latter, a proposition is true or false only in relation to the system of which it is a part, and makes no reference to the internal state of any being. This suggests to me that there may be two forms of ‘knowing’ (which I personally would distinguish into ‘knowledge’ and information’); one which is based on correspondence and the felt sense of belief that accompanies that type of truth, and another based on coherence, which is the acceptance of the truth status of information but without the requirement that it be intuitively or emotionally ‘felt’.

John Chuang, Associate Professor, UC Berkeley School of Information
Abstract:
Are we investing too little in information security? Are we investing too much? Since Anderson and Varian posed these questions in 2002, much progress has been made in understanding rational decision-making in information security. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of applying risk management to security, highlight the public goods nature of interdependent security, explore the tradeoffs between protection and insurance, and motivate a new “weakest target” game to investigate the incentive dynamics of botnets and other classes of attacks.
Bio:
John Chuang is Associate Professor at the School of Information at UC Berkeley. He received a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University at Southern California and Stanford University respectively, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. His research focus is on economics-informed design of computer networks and distributed systems, including incentive mechanisms for peer-to-peer systems, economics of network security, and economics of network architectures.

For centuries, scientists have attempted to identify and document analytical laws that underlie physical phenomena in nature. Despite the prevalence of computing power, finding natural laws and their corresponding equations has resisted automation. A key challenge to finding analytic relationships automatically is defining algorithmically what makes a correlation in observed data important and insightful. We have developed a technique for extracting the laws of nature from experimental data by identifying invariant and conservation equations. We demonstrate this approach by automatically searching motion-tracking data captured from various physical systems, ranging from simple harmonic oscillators to chaotic double-pendula. Without any prior knowledge about physics, kinematics or geometry, the algorithm discovered Hamiltonians, Lagrangians, and other laws of geometric and momentum conservation. The discovery rate accelerated as laws found for simpler systems were used to bootstrap explanations for more complex systems, gradually uncovering the “alphabet” used to describe those systems.

Intelligence for the Humanoid Robot ASIMO: A Synthetic Approach to Understanding Principles of Processing in the Brain.
I would like to welcome you to the web site of the Honda Research Institute Europe (HRI-EU).
The Honda Research Institute Europe is one of three basic research units Honda inaugurated in a bold and foresighted move in 2003. It is our mission to contribute to the future of our society and thereby to the future of Honda by pursuing emerging technologies.
By translating principles of biological information processing systems into unique and innovative technology, the team at the Honda Research Institute Europe strives towards becoming the Centre of Excellence for Intelligent Systems Research in Honda.
The human brain demonstrates that robustness, functional autonomy and cognition in unconstrained environments are possible. Hence, an understanding of the brain is the most promising way towards the creation of intelligent systems.
In order to understand the brain, we follow an “analysis through synthesis” philosophy. We set the architectural and processing constraints for self-assembly through evolution and learning of the artificial system in interaction with the environment.
To progress from pre-programmed skills to learnt and thereby actively acquired behaviour provides us with the key for a new class of systems: systems whose architecture and dynamics provide the basis for brain-like intelligence.
I hope you enjoy this concise introduction to the work of our institute.
