| Pain of artificial legs could be eased by real-time monitoring Jul 23rd 2013, 19:50 Engineers have developed a device that tracks how much a person's limb swells and shrinks when inside a prosthetic socket. The data could help doctors and patients predict how and when their limbs will swell, which could be used to build smarter sockets. |  | Could HYCCUPS boost phone battery life? Jul 22nd 2013, 16:30 A new system that goes by the name of "hybrid contextual cloud in ubiquitous platforms comprising of smart phones" or HYCCUPS for short, has been developed by computer scientists. The system boosts phone battery life by booting power-consuming computational tasks on to an on-the-fly ad-hoc cloud in which smart phones are both clients and computing resources. | | Could HYCCUPS boost phone battery life?
