Solaren says it plans to generate the power using solar panels in earth orbit, then convert it to radio frequency energy for transmission to a receiving station in Fresno County. From there, the energy will be converted to electricity and fed into PG&E's power grid.

Fuzzy Future for the Internet 'Cloud'
Russ Daniels, the cloud services CTO at Hewlett-Packard, said this week: Cloud computing will allow people to bring technology to bear in the real activities that drive business and personal life, which are collaboration and information-sharing among people, according to an article in PCWorld. The Cloud will make data "programmatically accessible" so applications and services can tap into the information, rather than just having it be browsed by people. This will allow the Internet to solve new kinds of problems, Daniels said.
However, decisions made now concerning security and openness will largely dictate how the Internet of the future works, researchers say.

IBM Builds 3D World For Business Meetings
Big Blue's new Virtual Collaboration for Lotus Sametime service, launched Wednesday at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, offers a host of tools that allow employees and business partners to interact in 3D spaces without leaving their desks.
Users can select colleagues from their Lotus Sametime contact list and invite them, in avatar form, into the online world, where there's boardrooms, auditoriums, and collaboration spaces. The space supports a number of online chat, voice, and presentation tools to facilitate full communication. IBM worked with VoIP specialist Vivox on the voice component.

Feather fibers fluff up hydrogen storage capacity
Scientists at the University of Delaware say they have developed a new hydrogen storage method — carbonized chicken feather fibers — that can hold vast amounts of hydrogen, a promising but difficult to corral fuel source, and do it at a far lower cost than other hydrogen storage systems under consideration.
The research, presented Tuesday, June 23, at the 13th annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference being held in College Park, Md., could eventually help overcome some of the hurdles to using hydrogen fuel in cars, trucks and other machinery.

Dynamic Optical Tags (DOT)
The goal of the DARPA Dynamic Optical Tags (DOTs) program is to develop a small, robust, persistent, 2-way tagging, tracking and locating device that also supports communications at data rates greater than 100 kbps and can be interrogated at significant range. These tags will allow for two-way data exchange and tagging operations in friendly and denied areas. The DOTs will be passive and non-RF

Researcher Discovers Method to Fully Process Encrypted Data Without Knowing its Content
An IBM Researcher has solved a thorny mathematical problem that has confounded scientists since the invention of public-key encryption several decades ago. The breakthrough, called "privacy homomorphism," or "fully homomorphic encryption," makes possible the deep and unlimited analysis of encrypted information -- data that has been intentionally scrambled -- without sacrificing confidentiality.

Raytheon And Ultra Electronics Pursue Next-Gen Bomb Rack System
Raytheon and Ultra Electronics Precision Air Systems have teamed to pursue the BRU-69/A Multi-Purpose Bomb Rack (MPBR) program for the U.S. Navy's Naval Air Systems Command.
MPBR is a twin-store, non-pyrotechnic carriage system that will replace several legacy bomb racks currently deployed on the F/A-18 E/F. Advanced on-board avionics will ensure that MPBR is compatible with current and future "smart weapons." Use of a common, non-pyrotechnic bomb rack will provide substantial life-cycle cost savings.
