'Smart dust' aims to monitor everything

[zangtang]

nah, that was intelligent (memory) metal - waaay whole diffr'ent ball game - get wit the program !

[brekin]

Don't worry gang I've ordered some scientific equipment off the internet and I'm going to get to the bottom of these goo invaders who have been hanging out on Earth for 80,000 years (illegally I might add!) trying to creep up on us and not just take our jobs but our very own husks! I should add that I would do the same if it was White goo, them being Black goo has nothing to do with it.

[Harvey]

As well as John Dies at the End (great fun by the way) and the others mentioned it's also the central premise of the entire X-Files series and films that an ancient alien race living in natural oil deposits has taken over the world. Black goo.

In my humble, all of this is an example of the metaphor becoming the model, mystifying and conflating several discrete themes. The kind of mind control and enhancement suggested by Limitless and all of the above is not merely as old as Buddhism but probably as old as complex multicellular life. The other main theme is the mania of power and hierarchy inspired by the post-oil industrial revolution.

When the metaphor becomes the model, it's just a fucking nuisance.

[divideandconquer]

I think the "black goo" is meant to distract away from the real problem: Bioengineering, nanotechnology, transhumanism and other emerging technologies without our consent To synthetically re-engineer humanity without our consent. The merger of man with machine and integration with the manipulated reality matrix. without our consent.

Nanomaterials and or nano machines are in our food, in our clothes, cosmetics, in our air, water, in our cleaning products, etc., ...there is no escaping it. Public health is under assault. We’re bombarded with toxicity, radiation and synthetic materials through GMO foods, geoengineering, pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, toxic chemicals, electromagnetic smart grid, chemtrails, etc. We are all increasingly infested with non-natural fibers and god only knows what else in our blood stream of which most of us are unaware. Degenerative disease is epidemic. I have Morgellons. My sister has Lyme disease, and my other sister was diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 in her 40s with no history of diabetes in our family. Everywhere I go I meet people with some sort of degenerative disease...it's epidemic! Not to mention, the ever increasing numbers of autistic children. When medical technology is supposedly advancing at an exponential rate, why is that?

I say forget the "black goo" and aliens, and concentrate on what's we know is real.

Computers in your clothes? A milestone for wearable electronics
Clothes that receive and transmit digital information are closer to reality

By: Pam Frost Gorder

Published on April 13, 2016

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Researchers who are working to develop wearable electronics have reached a milestone: They are able to embroider circuits into fabric with 0.1 mm precision—the perfect size to integrate electronic components such as sensors and computer memory devices into clothing.

With this advance, the Ohio State University researchers have taken the next step toward the design of functional textiles—clothes that gather, store, or transmit digital information. With further development, the technology could lead to shirts that act as antennas for your smart phone or tablet, workout clothes that monitor your fitness level, sports equipment that monitors athletes’ performance, a bandage that tells your doctor how well the tissue beneath it is healing—or even a flexible fabric cap that senses activity in the brain.

That last item is one that John Volakis, director of the ElectroScience Laboratory at Ohio State, and research scientist Asimina Kiourti are investigating. The idea is to make brain implants, which are under development to treat conditions from epilepsy to addiction, more comfortable by eliminating the need for external wiring on the patient’s body.

“A revolution is happening in the textile industry,” said Volakis, who is also the Roy & Lois Chope Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at Ohio State. “We believe that functional textiles are an enabling technology for communications and sensing—and one day even medical applications like imaging and health monitoring.”

Recently, he and Kiourti refined their patented fabrication method to create prototype wearables at a fraction of the cost and in half the time as they could only two years ago. With new patents pending, they published the new results in the journal IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters.

John Volakis

In Volakis’ lab, the functional textiles, also called “e-textiles,” are created in part on a typical tabletop sewing machine—the kind that fabric artisans and hobbyists might have at home. Like other modern sewing machines, it embroiders thread into fabric automatically based on a pattern loaded via a computer file. The researchers substitute the thread with fine silver metal wires that, once embroidered, feel the same as traditional thread to the touch.

“We started with a technology that is very well known—machine embroidery—and we asked, how can we functionalize embroidered shapes? How do we make them transmit signals at useful frequencies, like for cell phones or health sensors?” Volakis said. “Now, for the first time, we’ve achieved the accuracy of printed metal circuit boards, so our new goal is to take advantage of the precision to incorporate receivers and other electronic components.”

The shape of the embroidery determines the frequency of operation of the antenna or circuit, explained Kiourti.

The shape of one broadband antenna, for instance, consists of more than half a dozen interlocking geometric shapes, each a little bigger than a fingernail, that form an intricate circle a few inches across. Each piece of the circle transmits energy at a different frequency, so that they cover a broad spectrum of energies when working together—hence the “broadband” capability of the antenna for cell phone and internet access.

“Shape determines function,” she said. “And you never really know what shape you will need from one application to the next. So we wanted to have a technology that could embroider any shape for any application.”

The researchers’ initial goal, Kiourti added, was just to increase the precision of the embroidery as much as possible, which necessitated working with fine silver wire. But that created a problem, in that fine wires couldn’t provide as much surface conductivity as thick wires. So they had to find a way to work the fine thread into embroidery densities and shapes that would boost the surface conductivity and, thus, the antenna/sensor performance.

Previously, the researchers had used silver-coated polymer thread with a 0.5-mm diameter, each thread made up of 600 even finer filaments twisted together. The new threads have a 0.1-mm diameter, made with only seven filaments. Each filament is copper at the center, enameled with pure silver.

They purchase the wire by the spool at a cost of 3 cents per foot; Kiourti estimated that embroidering a single broadband antenna like the one mentioned above consumes about 10 feet of thread, for a material cost of around 30 cents per antenna. That’s 24 times less expensive than when Volakis and Kiourti created similar antennas in 2014.

In part, the cost savings comes from using less thread per embroidery. The researchers previously had to stack the thicker thread in two layers, one on top of the other, to make the antenna carry a strong enough electrical signal. But by refining the technique that she and Volakis developed, Kiourti was able to create the new, high-precision antennas in only one embroidered layer of the finer thread. So now the process takes half the time: only about 15 minutes for the broadband antenna mentioned above.

She’s also incorporated some techniques common to microelectronics manufacturing to add parts to embroidered antennas and circuits.

One prototype antenna looks like a spiral and can be embroidered into clothing to improve cell phone signal reception. Another prototype, a stretchable antenna with an integrated RFID (radio-frequency identification) chip embedded in rubber, takes the applications for the technology beyond clothing. (The latter object was part of a study done for a tire manufacturer.)

Yet another circuit resembles the Ohio State Block “O” logo, with non-conductive scarlet and gray thread embroidered among the silver wires “to demonstrate that e-textiles can be both decorative and functional,” Kiourti said.

They may be decorative, but the embroidered antennas and circuits actually work. Tests showed that an embroidered spiral antenna measuring approximately six inches across transmitted signals at frequencies of 1 to 5 GHz with near-perfect efficiency. The performance suggests that the spiral would be well-suited to broadband internet and cellular communication.

In other words, the shirt on your back could help boost the reception of the smart phone or tablet that you’re holding – or send signals to your devices with health or athletic performance data.

The work fits well with Ohio State’s role as a founding partner of the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America Institute, a national manufacturing resource center for industry and government. The new institute, which joins some 50 universities and industrial partners, was announced earlier this month by U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.

Syscom Advanced Materials in Columbus provided the threads used in Volakis and Kiourti’s initial work. The finer threads used in this study were purchased from Swiss manufacturer Elektrisola. The research is funded by the National Science Foundation, and Ohio State will license the technology for further development.

Until then, Volakis is making out a shopping list for the next phase of the project.

“We want a bigger sewing machine,” he said.

Voltaire Articles on Morgellons & Comparison to Some of The Scientifc Information

Did the U.S. Army help spread Morgellons and other diseases?
by Hank P. Albarelli Jr., Zoe Martell
Last week’s Voltaire Network article concerning the mysterious spread of a fungus disease in the Northwest United States provoked a number of readers to contact Mr. H. P. Albarelli Jr., the author of both these articles, with new information concerning strange diseases and the U.S. Army’s covert biological warfare activities which involve the use of chemical and biological weapons against human beings. There is a history of U.S. secret human experimentation. In this case, it is unsuspecting U.S. citizens who are the victims.

http://www.voltairenet.org/article165450.html

(snip)

This substance was referred to as “FD-CPX.” Said the former Detrick scientist, who worked under project MK/NAOMI, a joint CIA-Army program for 6 years, “CPX was a problematic substance for us. We worked with it in mutated form, and a number of sub-contractors came down with the disease and that caused all sorts of additional problems. They were still working with it when I left the post. I don’t know if SO ever got it right.”

After all this time and the scientifci proof that something is indeed going on with morgellons and lyme Icky wiky is still in denial (they are delusional).

If this sounds farfetched, consider the following information from a 2004 article in theU.S. News and World Report: Susan Lindquist, director of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, has managed to do just this using a type of protein called aprion. “She triggered a chain reaction in which the yeast prions spin themselves into long, durable fibers,” the article reports. “Lindquist then genetically engineered these fibrous prions so they could bind to gold and silver nanoparticles. As she reported last spring, the result was prion fibers clad in precious metal—ultrafine conductive wires that could someday shuttle electrons around nano-size circuits.”

Note the above is using Prions which are found in all forms of prion conditions, Scrapie was one I know they were working on at Dugwary proving ground in Utah.

Morgellons and the CIA’s MK/NAOMI Project (Part 2)
by Hank P. Albarelli Jr., Zoe Martell
Why is it that the U.S. state apparatus is standing in the way of any serious medical investigation into Mogellons disease? For the simple reason that it would inexorably lead to the covert biological war programmes of the 1950’s. Hank Albarelli lifts the veil on a period - which may not necessarily be over - when the military-industrial complex proclaimed to safeguard the "free world" while testing new experiments on the civilian population that it purported to protect; a period when members of the medical profession - including the CDC - developed diseases that they should have been preventing but which they used instead to contaminate the very people they were supposed to protect.

the only veil the government wanted lifted was the ones on our bodies through the use of the mycoplasma and information can be found on that at this site:

[backtoiam]

I just finished these two articles from my previous post and saw a lot of morgellons info I never heard about before and I have done a good bit of research. Makes me lean much more heavily toward previous notions that Lyme, Morgellons, and some Prion related illnesses were released or escaped from mil intel labs. Scary articles. If there really are aliens among or aware of humans no wonder they stay hid and won't come near us. I wouldn't if I was them after reading these. Were fucking crazy, us humans.

"don't know how many people have to have nano-engineered shit crawling out of their skin lesions before we acknowledge we're now living in science fiction"

My thoughts exactly. The author could have simply watched somebody pull a fiber out of their skin and look at it under a microscope. Going to a conference for two days and listening to people talk does not seem very 'researchy' to me.

But thanks for the article Brekin. It was very interesting and a good look into the world of sufferers.
