scottbomb writes Well, it did not take long: After only a few months at Google, Java founder James Gosling has left the giant search engine to access a small company specializing in ocean-based start-up robotics. In a brief blog about his new company, Gosling said: They have a growing fleet of autonomous vehicles that stray from the ocean to collect data from a variety of onboard sensors and uploading it to the cloud. Robots have a lot of satellite uplink / communication speed GSM / WiMax and redundant GPS units. They have a lot of deployments. For example, there is a set of robots patrolling the sea around the well in the Gulf Macondo Mexico in the water chemistry control.

They travel at 1-2 knots, which is a high speed data collection.

While the butanol-producing bacteria are not new, there are some important points about This particular bacterium. It is the first naturally occurring bacteria that directly converts cellulose, butanol, without the need for cellulose processing into sugar first, and it may do so in the presence of oxygen, which kills other bacteria that produce butanol. Streamlining the process could significantly reduce the production cost of butanol. This bacterium could allow virtually any plant product, such as newspaper clippings or grass to be used to produce fuel for vehicles conventional.
