Philips iPill

Computer Indside Body, Future Treatment, Philips Plls, Tiny Digital Camera

A tiny device delivers drugs exactly where they’re needed.

Electronic pills have been used for diagnostic applications such as imaging, but the iPill from Philips Research, designed to treat gastrointestinal disorders, goes a step further, dispensing medication at a location and rate programmed by a physician. The disposable capsule, which is about the same size as an ordinary pill, contains a tiny computer, a wireless transmitter, and a series of sensors; it passes naturally through the digestive system after being swallowed with food or water. Although the iPill is still a prototype, Philips is about to begin testing it in animals and is working with pharmaceutical companies to evaluate what drugs might work best with it.

Pan-Delhi Geeks’ & Quizzers’ Meet 2008

Pan-Delhi Geeks and Quizzers Meet 2008

Date & time
Saturday, July 5, 2008
11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Venue
PVR Plaza
Connaught Place
New Delhi, Delhi 110001

Before all the geeky folk of New Delhi schools (batch of 2008) set off to join their respective colleges (or prepare to drop a year), how about having a meeting of quizzers and computer club members of all schools across Delhi at some place! No competitions this time. 🙂 ‘Juniors’ (those who aren’t from Delhi Geeks Batch of 2008) and ‘alumni’ Delhi Geeks (who’re already studying in college are welcome too).
Right now, there’s a venue issue – we have none – so this is being kept an informal meet with no particular agenda. Basically going to be a ‘working lunch’ sort of meeting at some restaurant, at Connaught Place. PVR Plaza is simply going to be the meeting point, because CP is a big place and this is a good landmark everyone can get to. The actual restaurant (not at the end of the Universe) we end up going to would be dictated by the number of people turning up and the vacancies, but going by the current list I’d say that the Nirula’s, Outer Circle CP might be a place which will be able to accomodate an expected turnout of 20-25 people – other places, I don’t think they’ll be able to accomodate that many. Still, any suggestions are welcome. Oh, and since nobody is sponsoring this, everyone chips in to the bill.

IMPORTANT: There’s just ONE request Click the link http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/814201/ and IF you’re attending / planning to attend the event, please click on the “I’m Going” / “I’m Watching” buttons and add your name. We really need to know at the meeting point whether everyone has turned up, and possibly inform any stragglers on the event day where we’re leaving for from the meeting place.
