Future smartwatches will be able to better analyse and understand  our activities by automatically discovering when we engage in some new type of activity. London Scientists have created a new algorithm that enables smartwatches to not only record your exercise session but also detect when you are brushing your teeth or cooking, an advance that will provide a richer and more accurate picture of your daily life. Current smartwatches can recognise a limited number of particular activities, including yoga and running, but these are programmed in advance. The new method, developed by researchers from University of Sussex in the UK, enables the technology to discover activities as they happen, not just simply when exercising, but also when brushing your teeth or cutting vegetables. Traditional models "cluster" together bursts of activity to estimate what a person has been doing, and for how long, researchers said. For example, a series of continuous steps may be clustered i

A new type of smart fabric developed at the University of Washington could pave the way for jackets that store invisible passcodes and open the door to your apartment or office. The UW computer scientists have created fabrics and fashion accessories that can store data -- from security codes to identification tags -- without needing any on-board electronics or sensors. Using magnetic properties of conductive thread, University of Washington researchers are able to store data in fabric. In this example, the code to unlock a door is stored in a fabric patch and read by an array of magnetometers. As described in a paper presented Oct. 25 at the Association for Computing Machinery's User Interface Software and Technology Symposium (UIST 2017), they leveraged previously unexplored magnetic properties of off-the-shelf conductive thread. The data can be read using an instrument embedded in existing smartphones to enable navigation apps. "This is a completely electronic-f

An Arabic teacher (Bashiru Isah) has been confirmed to remain in police custody by a Magistrates’ Court sitting in Minna, for allegedly strangling his own son. The 38-years-old, Isah was indicted on a one count charge of culpable homicide, punishable under Section 221 of the Penal Code Law. The Police prosecutor, Insp. Emmanuel Danladi, said in court that Aisha Bashiru, wife of the suspect, reported the matter at Lapai Police Division on Sept. 19. Danladi said the complainant alleged that on the same date at about 1:15 am, her husband, a resident of Ebbo village in Lapai, took their son into his room and strangled him to death with his hands without any reasonable excuse. However, the Magistrate, Maryam King, said the court would not record the plea of the accused because it lacked jurisdiction to try the case. King therefore directed the police to forward the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice. The case has been adjourned to Oct. 26,

The Economic Community of West African States, in partnership with a technology firm, Skill ‘G’ Nigeria Limited , says it will train no fewer than 12,000 pupils in the sub-region on technical education and science annually. According to a statement from ECOWAS , in order to achieve this target, the organisation held a two-day stakeholders’ meeting on education on Thursday and Friday in Abuja to draw out a road map. The theme of the meeting was, “Better harmonisation of the educational system of the region and the development of the human capital based on knowledge economy.” The Managing Director, Skill ‘G’ Limited , Dr Gregory Ibe , told journalists after the meeting that the firm would “design the strategies for ECOWAS technical and vocational education as well as skills improvement for employability in the region.” He said, “ ECOWAS decided to partner with us in the delivery of specialised vocational education in 15 member countries. We started this with the United Nati

Alvaro Morata scored a hat-trick as third-placed Chelsea kept up their pursuit of Manchester's Premier League pace-setters by routing Stoke City 4-0 today. Having taken four points from home games against Arsenal and Manchester United, Stoke could hardly have anticipated their terrible start when they conceded on 83 seconds to a neat finish from Morata, his fourth goal of the season and first with his boot. But without three defenders including Kurt Zouma, Stoke struggled to stifle Chelsea's counter-attacks and conceded again after half-an-hour when Darren Fletcher mistakenly chested the ball into the path of Pedro, whose right-foot shot gave keeper Jack Butland no chance. Chelsea wrapped up victory with 12 minutes remaining thanks to more dreadful Stoke defending and another fine Morata finish, first dinking the ball over Butland and then tapping in to take his season's tally to six. Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois suffered an injury after falling heavily but p
