kenwood 1.5.1 firmware update
OpenPCD firmware 220
OpenPCD is a free and open RFID reader reference design platform. more>>
OpenPCD is a free hardware design for Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD) based on 13,56MHz communication. This device is able to screen informations from Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) conforming to vendor-independent standards such as ISO 14443, ISO 15693 as well as proprietary protocols such as Mifare Classic. Contactless cards like these are for example used in the new electronic passports.
The intention of the OpenPCD project is to offer the users full hardware control of the RFID signal and to provide different output signals for screening the communication. With already existing Free Software from the OpenMRTD project for implementing the PCD side protocol stack of various RFID protocols, this project will happily extend the free toolchain around RFID verification.
Enhancements:
- This is the initial version of the firmware.
- It supports basic RFID reader functionality for the ISO14443A.

Look at the screenshots page for more detailed features.
SODIUM 1.5.1
SODIUM it arranges ions around biological macromolecules. more>>
The ions are placed in the nodes of a cubic grid, in which the electrostatic energy achieves the smallest values. The energy is re-computed after placement of each ion. A simple Coulombic formula is used for the energy:
Energy(R) = Sum(i_atoms,ions) Q_i / |R-R_i|
All the constants are dropped out from this formula, resulting in some weird energy units; that doesnt matter for the purpose of energy comparison. To speed the program up, the atoms of the macromolecule are re-located to the grid nodes, closest to their original locations.
The resulting error is believed to be minor, compared to that resulting from the one-by-one ions placement, or from using the simplified energy function. The coordinates of the placed ions are printed out in the PDB format for further usage.
It is recommended that the placed ions are equilibrated in a separate Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics simulation. Trivial modifications to the program should allow the placement of any combination of multivalent ions of different charges.
leJOS 0.3.0 Alpha (NXT)
leJOS is a Java-based replacement firmware (OS) for LEGO Mindstorms programmable bricks, including RCX and NXT. more>>

ModAssy 1.5.1
This is an advanced portable C++ library with 80 variations of the ASSERT macro, to add expressions, levels and optional actions. 48 are modular because they can also use Rich Boolies, allowing much more combinations than non-modular ASSERT macros. It is very flexible because it allows you to create custom loggers and assertion displayers, but you can also use the provided ones for Windows, wxWidgets or console applications. more>>
ModAssy - This is an advanced portable C++ library with 80 variations of the ASSERT macro, to add expressions, levels and optional actions. 48 are modular because they can also use Rich Boolies, allowing much more combinations than non-modular ASSERT macros. It is very flexible because it allows you to create custom loggers and assertion displayers, but you can also use the provided ones for Windows, wxWidgets or console applications. The loggers and displayers show extra information, like the date and time, the thread id, the current working directory, etc. and you can add infoprovider objects to ModAssy, to provide similar custom information.
It has eight basic assertions, that each have 16 variations, by adding four suffixes that add functionality.
It is very reliable and portable, as it has been tested with five different compilers (VC++ 6.0, .NET 2003, .NET 2005, gcc on Windows and Linux), with nearly all warnings enabled.
The Rich Boolies can do all kinds of checks and generate elaborate information:
* Relations between two objects: rbEQUAL, rbLESS, ...
* Bitwise comparisons: rbEQUAL_BITWISE, rbBITS_ON, rbBITS_OFF, ...
* Type checking (with RTTI): rbEQUAL_TYPES, rbHAS_TYPE, ...
* Working on ranges and containers: rbIN_RANGE, rbIN_RANGES, rbIN_CONTAINER, rbIN_CONTAINERS, ... These have an extra argument that tells what kind of check to do, e.g. Sorted, Compare, Has, Unique, ...
* String comparisons: rbSTRING, rbSTRING_BEGINS_WITH, rbSTRING_ENDS_WITH, rbSTRING_CONTAINS. These have an extra argument that tells what kind of check to do, e.g. case sensitive or not.
* Logical expressions: rbAND, rbOR, rbXOR. These can have Rich Boolies or plain boolean expressions as their arguments.
* Exceptions: rbEXCEPTION takes an exception as its argument, and uses the information in it.

System Requirements:<<less
Taverna 1.5.1
Taverna is a distributed compute workflow components in Java. more>>
Taverna core data models include the object representations of the workflow itself, all entities within the workflow (processors, ports, data links etc) and the model for the data values flowing along data links during a workflow enactment.
Taverna task extensions sit within an enactment engine - in this case FreeFluo - and provide concrete implementations of the abstract tasks specified by Processor objects within the workflow object model. It is these tasks which contain the logic required to contact web services, run local java classes and perform the other actions associated with their Processor entities.
Instances of the task extensions are created when a workflow and associated input objects are submitted through the Workflow Submission Interface. This interface may be an in process java method call or may be invoked across some transport such as SOAP in the case of a remote service based enactment engine. FreeFluo is capable of acting in both modes, the Taverna workbench incorporates an instance of the FreeFluo enactor to provide basic enactment services to users without a central workflow engine server.
The graphical user interface classes sit on a client machine and allow interaction with the core data model classes as well as with running workflow instance objects within an enactment engine. This allows workflow construction, editing and visualisation as well as enactor management and data browsing across the results and intermediate values within a workflow instance.
The storage interface is a plugable framework that allows external data and metadata stores to observe events within the workflow enactment service and collection information about those events. This could include a provenance collection plugin which watches the workflow enactment and records metadata about it in RDF form, or a storage plugin which streams results back to a relation database, possibly a Life Science Identifier (LSID) authority, as the enactment runs.
The LSID authority interface is a read only access point to data stored within a data store, and can potentially be used by the Taverna graphical user interface components to fetch results of previous workflows and make use of them as inputs to successive ones.

OpenWrt 1.0 RC5
OpenWrt is a Linux distribution for wireless routers. more>>
For users this means the ability to custom tune features, removing unwanted packages to make room for other packages and for developers this means being able to focus on packages without having to test and release an entire firmware.
Enhancements:
- Countless bugfixes, various security patches, improved Failsafe, faster installation (new firstboot script), a multilingual Web interface (Cesky, Deutsch, Dansk, Eesti, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Norsk, and Polski), and ethernet switch configuration (/proc/switch).
firmware-tools 1.0.19
firmware-tools is an architecture that utilizes native Linux packaging formats. more>>
The architecture is easy as PIE: splitting Payload, Inventory, and Executable components into separate packages, using package format Requires/Provides language to handle dependencies at a package installation level, and using matching Requires/Provides language to handle runtime dependency resolution and installation ordering.
The framework then provides unifying applications such as inventory_firmware and apply_updates that handle runtime ordering of inventory, execution, and conflict resolution/ notification for all of the plug-ins. These are the commands a system administrator runs. Once all of the separate payload, inventory, and execution packages are in package manager format, and are put into package manager repositories, then standard tools can retreive, install, and execute them:
# yum install $(inventory_firmware -b)
# apply_updates
Enhancements:
- Initial stable proposed API and initial CLI.
- Several small typos for names of commands have been fixed.
- Tested with the first public release of firmware-addon-dell for updating select Dell system BIOSs across Dell servers, desktops, and laptops.
