Comfortable running gear,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
My husband wears these for running in and finds them comfortable. They don't cause chaffing, they wick moisture away from the skin so are not sweaty, provide some compression without being too tight and can accommodate a more muscular than average leg. And, though a tight fit, the back pocket will stretch to hold an iPhone 4 or 4s if you use it for gps.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Oceans
As I have mentioned, IDL is our favorite package for dealing with satellite images even though many are available. Most tend to be inflexible and tailor-made for doing specific types of image analysis. IDL can do most of the same operations more cheaply and flexibly while allowing you to interact with the data and merge data from several sources. However, IDL is a programming language in its own right, so there is a learning curve inherent to using it.
The choice of other system components is not as critical as choosing the video card, motherboard, processor and monitor. When it comes to backing up our data, an Exabyte drive suits us nicely for backing up anything less than 5GB in size.
Again, IDL is the main processing software for this type of work. Many users feel they are comfortable using LaTeX under Linux too, although this appears to be a point of contention. Most of us are still locked into using MS Word for want of a cheap Linux word processor that is Word compatible and can handle multiple data formats and equations. We are now looking at some alternatives like Applixware.
Linux has reduced the computing cost of the Oceanography Department's satellite remote sensing group in terms of both time and money. Its stability has been its greatest asset in converting die-hard Windows fanatics into potential Linux gurus. For many of us Linux has enabled us to embark on a voyage of discovery into the computing world. We now have a deeper understanding of how our PCs work as Linux has brought us closer to the machine. We are currently reviewing the hardware and software requirements of the group for the next couple of years. We plan to continue using Linux well into the next millennium and are quite happy with the decision.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Fox News anchor calls the Obamas' fist pound 'a terrorist fist jab.'
Last week, when Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, he and his wife Michelle exchanged a fist pound greeting before he gave his speech. Teasing an upcoming "body language expert" segment on Friday, Fox News host E.D. Hill referred to the exchange as a possible "terrorist fist jab":
HILL: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently. We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says.
Watch it:
As Media Matters notes, at no point during the ensuing segment did Hill explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab."

Plains Folk
The Archives
Plains Folk, a commentary devoted to life on the great plains of North America, is now a special weekly feature on Main Street. Written by Tom Isern of West Fargo, North Dakota, and read in newspapers across the region for years, Plains Folk venerates fall suppers and barn dances and reminds us that "more important to our thoughts than lines on a map are the essential characteristics of the region–the things that tell what the plains are, not just where they are." You can hear Plains Folk once a week during Main Street, weekdays at 3 pm CT with a repeat at 7 pm CT.

Had a short visit to Ljungan.
Went down to Mörrum for one day to target the first salmons and then later 2 days of fishing in Em. Long story short, total blank for me but Martin manage to catch some nice sea trouts up to 6+kg.
Had a nice day, 3 fish up with biggest 4+ kg chrome. Insane fights in a wonderful spring weather.
Nice weekend fishing, lost one pretty big fish.
First trip of the year, so nice to be back. Managed to catch one sea trout in pool 2 that was around 70 cm long.
Finally I received my new vise from Marc Petitjean. I ordered I limited edition that is build in a beautiful blue steel color and a vise head made of Norwegian Damascus steel. The vise comes in a complete package with all tools and matching bags. I got #23!
Finally I was back to this beautiful river that has become my second home during the winter seasons for the last 3-4 years. Last season didn't turned out good due to very low water level during whole winter but this year it has started of much better. A lot of fish has been caught since the start of season 1st of January but I have managed to get away for a trip only once. I plan to fish in Nyköpingsån a couple of times each month until april when other rives will start to look more interesting.
Spend a couple of days at local sea trout river. Due to low water the fish was totalt vanished.
Nice and warm night but I blanked

I first discovered the joy of comics in 1980 when some girls on my school bus brought in their father's copies of Wendy and Richard Pini's "Elfquest" and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, I've written freelance interviews and articles for "Wizard" (going all the way back to the first issue), headed up the Small Press Expo and the Ignatz Awards, served as an Eisner judge and written reviews regularly since 1999 (first for iComics.com, then moving to my own site Read About Comics).
I moved to the Washington DC area in 1974 and have yet to leave. I design and develop training for the Federal government during the day, and I've had both fiction and non-fiction professionally published. In my spare time I train for marathons and triathlons. I've promised my friends one of these days I'll run a race dressed as the Flash.
FIRST COMIC: "Elfquest" #5
FAVORITE CHARACTER: Fone Bone, Captain Britain, Rachel Summers Grey
Showing results 1396-1415 of 2571
"iZombie" is about as dependable as they come, which is a good thing.
"Captain Atom" is pulling a "superhero as deity" storyline, but so far it's not new territory.
"Nightwing" has turned out to be a pleasant, by- the-books superhero comic.
Don't let the joking fool you, "X-Factor" is in some dark territory.
Little by little, "Justice League" is coming together, and by that I don't just mean the main characters.
Blink's back! But not the one you all knew and loved in "Exiles."
A slow build to a nasty revelation is part of what makes "Batman" so great.
"Superboy" continues to be pleasantly fun, with a last-page reveal that most figured out two issues ago.
Let's face it, this is really "Justice League Medieval."
"Huntress" brings a solid hero-versus-crime- family story to life.
This might be familiar ground for the Penguin, but it's so enjoyable I can't complain.
"Batgirl" is all over the place, but not in a good way.
This issue is more "Robin and Batman" than "Batman and Robin," and I like it.
"Batwing" isn't bad, but it's losing a bit of steam.
"Men of War" loses a bit of what made the first two issues more interesting, but at least the back-up story concludes.
It's the flashback within a flashback that will grab your attention.
"The Strange Talent of Luther Strode" is strange and disturbing, and its creators are talented. There's even someone called Luther Strode.
Never mind that this is part 2 of 3, "American Vampire" #20 stands on its own wonderfully.
"All-Star Western" adds an El Diablo backup to the mix, and it's devilishly fun.
The Legion's early days get re-examined and slightly tweaked in this new mini-series.

"Come on, Red, let's go!" - Luke Skywalker [Star Wars episode IV]
R5-D4 is the droid with the bad motivator that Uncle Owen almost buys from the Jawas.
This project is the same scale as, and based on the Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 set (10225).
The body has been modified with the correct coloured panels front and back. The head has been designed with studs facing outward on all four sides in order to capture the conical shape. More studs-not-on-top building have been used to facilitate the design of eight access panels on the top of the head.
If Lego were to adopt this idea, it could be done as an add-on to the R2 set or as a stand alone set. An R5 unit with a different colour scheme could be easily designed by swapping colours.
Some of the details built into the model are shown above. The eight access panels on the top are correctly depicted (the lego minifigure R5 units all have six panels).
Close-up of the head - showing the strip of lights around the 'neck' of R5-D4. The head is fully rotatable like the R2-D2 model that it is based on.

Gov. Rick Perry Poses, Grins for Mugshot
In his mugshot taken Tuesday at the Travis County Courthouse, Gov. Rick Perry sports that sly grin we've all come to know so well.
Perhaps that's because Perry thinks he's winning the public relations war that's erupted over his indictment. Following his indictment Friday on felony counts of abuse of power and coercion of a public servant, Perry called the charges "partisan political threats" that "rip away at the very fabric of our state's constitution." Tony Buzbee, Perry's lead defense attorney, later called the indictment "nothing more than banana republic politics."
As Forrest Wilder at the Texas Observer aptly points out, pundits across the country have followed suit, calling the indictment "unbelievably ridiculous," "sketchy," and even "weak sauce."
On Tuesday, ahead of Perry's scheduled mugshot and fingerprinting, RickPac, the governor's political action committee, actually began soliciting contributions, reminding us how this all started: how Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg got drunk, drove around, got caught, and threw a tantrum in jail; how Perry threatened to withhold $7.5 million in funding from the Travis County DA's Public Integrity Unit (which just so happens to investigate public corruption cases) following Lehmberg's arrest; and how Perry actually followed through on that threat and vetoed the funds when Lehmberg refused to step down.

After his booking, Perry reportedly greeted a throng of cheering supporters outside the Travis County Courthouse, vowing to "fight this injustice with every fiber of my being."
"I'm here today because I believe in the rule of law," Perry told the crowd. "I'm here today because I did the right thing."
It's way too early to definitively tell whether Perry's indictment amounts to more than just partisan politics. If the prosecutor appointed to investigate the complaint filed against Perry gives us any indication, there might be more to the charges than meets the eye. Michael McCrum, a former cop and prosecutor under the George H.W. Bush administration, simply doesn't have the reputation of a guy swayed by partisan whims. "He's very fair-minded and balanced, the kind of guy who would prosecute something only if he thinks the evidence is there," Gerald Reamey, the professor who taught McCrum at St. Mary's University law school, told the Dallas Morning News. "When I think of overzealous prosecution, he is not someone who comes to my mind."
We don't yet know what evidence was heard behind the grand-jury doors, and we won't unless Perry's case goes to trial (or unless someone in the media gets an awesome leak). Presumably, Perry's high-powered defense lawyers will do everything they can to keep this as far away from a trial as possible.
So for now, go back and watch Lehmberg's embarrassing arrest video, stare at Perry's remarkably unsettling mugshot, and laugh, or weep, at the fact that this is what politics has become in the State of Texas.

3 Days in Hong Kong
Discover Hong Kong's Living History by Tram
Hong Kong is not just for shopping, see the sites
It's been my first time being at High Street and found this small restaurant. It's quiet and clean. We ordered a curry from the chefs recommended list. It's good! Will surely come back. Good price, good food.
Low quality thai curry for the price - very disappointing! We ordered online through Food Panda and it arrived 90 minutes later. The portions were small and one of the curries was not as expected - I ordered a Massamun, but it was more like a red curry. No peanuts or potato. Won't be ordering from them again.
This restaurant changed the place. The good reviews are from a long time ago on old location. I ´am really disapointed. This is only fast food service, not a real restaurant any more. I come to Hong Kong since 9 Years and I know the restaurant from the past on the old place. Old place was perfect and this was...
heard this famous Thai eatery reopened in sai ying pun on high street next to metropolitan cafe. Friends birthday so decided to give it try. Heard good reviews since opening 2weeks ago.
When arrived was shocked to dee how small it was, thought i had the wrong place but manager told me, rentals high so now have downsized. Ok we...
Phukets Thai restaurant has finally reopened in new location High Street, Sai Yin Pun. Smaller then it's previous location in SOHO but cosy. I go to Thailand a lot and Phuket's dishes are just as authentic as dishes served in Thai if not better. Prices are very reasonable and staff friendly.
Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant in Hong Kong
I rolled by this place 100 times on the Soho escalator before I tried it, but since then I go every time I visit Hong Kong. The staff are a bit quirky, but really nice (gave me a free drink last time, which helps!). The food is as good as I've had outside of Thailand and if you get a...
It's a cozy, small place with great Thai food!
We have been there countless times, and always bring visitors to experiment their food.
The food is fresh, and beautifully cooked, the view to Soho is nice, and location is great! Prices are very reasonable!
If you are new to Thai food, this is the place to try out! :)
Good location in Soho, very friendly staff wiling to accomodate, food is very good. Price is reasonable. Good Thai restaurant.
Sometime I fear when there is too much choice on the menu, the qulaity is dropping. I have been there several times so far, and never disappointed.
Good deco, can nicely talks (can be good for date ;-) ), enjoy to be nearby happenning places but quietly seated on the 1rst floor
We went here for an impromptu dinner, the service was good and the food was tasty but for the price of drinks and food I would not go back, there are sooo many restaurants in HK to choose from so you can afford to shop around. But if you are looking for somewhere a little more special then go here....

We stayed here as a family of 4. The room was large, spacious and a half reasonable view out towards the west. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They offered us freshly baked biscuits each afternoon we stayed.
The breakfast was simple but fresh in a nice courtyard with plenty of areas to sit. The hotel itself is about a 5 minutes walk to beach. The pier is at the end of the street along with bars and restaurants along the way. There was a bike rental place next door in which we rode to Santa Monica along the foreshore. There was also under cover parking right beneath the building and if this is full there are more car parks just outside. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to any families.

Obstetric Hemorrhage Initiative (OHI)
In order to address Florida's pregnancy-related mortality, the FPQC's maternal health advisors developed a Florida quality improvement Obstetric Hemorrhage Initiative (OHI) to address one of the largest and most preventable causes of maternal mortality in Florida.
Antenatal Corticosteroid Treatment (ACT)
As part of the March of Dimes Big 5 Perinatal Collaborative, the FPQC will be exploring timely and appropriate administration of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS). Hospital Recruitment will begin Summer 2015 for a Fall 2015 kick-off.
Hypertension in Pregnancy (HIP) Initiative
Interest in an initiative focused on Hypertension in Pregnancy has grown in Florida and nationally. From 1999-2012 hypertensive disorders caused 15.5% of pregnancy-related deaths. Maternal mortality review reports from North Carolina and California found that maternal deaths due to hypertensive disorders had significant prevention opportunities. Hypertension will be the FPQC's next focus to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. Hospital Recruitment will begin Summer 2015 for a Fall 2015 kick-off.
Perinatal Quality Indicator System
A new statewide Perinatal Indicators System was developed to provide more timely and accurate indicators for all hospitals.
Early Elective Deliveries (EED)
With the success of its partnership in the March of Dimes (MOD) 2011 Big 5 Project to reduce non-medically indicated deliveries <39 weeks gestation, the FPQC has expanded this initiative to more Florida hospitals by continuing to work with the MOD and ACOG District XII.
Mothers Own Milk
The aim of this project is to increase the number of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in Florida who receive mothers own milk (MOM) at NICU discharge by focusing on intent to provide breast milk, establishing and maintaining mothers' supply, and transitioning to the breast.

Sponsored Post: Job Openings - Squarespace
There was a bit of drama earlier when I posted a free job opening for Zynga. It caused unfortunate and just plain wrong accusations. It also caused a number of requests for more free job posts, which I should have anticipated, but obviously I can't let this blog become cluttered with that kind of stuff. Earlier I tried a job board type service, but that never really worked out. So what to do? Someone suggested a sponsored post approach and I think that's a good compromise. It minimizes the noise, let's people know about work, and brings in a little revenue. It works like an advertisement. If you are interested please let me know. When we have any job openings there will be a sponsored post like this one, that you can easily ignore or pay attention to, depending on your situation.

When to migrate your database?
Why migrate your database? Efficiency and availability problems are harming your business – reports are out of date, your batch processing window is nearing its limits, outages (unplanned/planned) frequently halt work. Database consolidation – remove the costs that result from a heterogeneous database environment (DBAs time, database vendor pricing, database versions, hardware, OSs, patches, upgrades etc.). OK, so the driving forces for migration are clear, what now?

Twitter's Plan to Analyze 100 Billion Tweets
If Twitter is the "nervous system of the web" as some people think, then what is the brain that makes sense of all those signals (tweets) from the nervous system? That brain is the Twitter Analytics System and Kevin Weil, as Analytics Lead at Twitter, is the homunculus within in charge of figuring out what those over 100 billion tweets (approximately the number of neurons in the human brain) mean.
Twitter has only 10% of the expected 100 billion tweets now, but a good brain always plans ahead. Kevin gave a talk, Hadoop and Protocol Buffers at Twitter, at the Hadoop Meetup, explaining how Twitter plans to use all that data to an answer key business questions.

Scaling Ambition at StackOverflow
Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood are raising VC money for StackOverflow. This is interesting for three reasons: 1) Joel has always seemed like a keep it small and grow organically type of guy, so this is a big step in a different direction. 2) It means they think there's a very big market in the Q&A space and they mean to capture as much as the market as possible. 3) Most importantly for this blog, Joel gives some good advice on when to stay fresh and local and when it's time to jump for the brass ring, scale up your ambition, and go for VC money.

How FarmVille Scales to Harvest 75 Million Players a Month
Several readers had follow-up questions in response to this article. Luke's responses can be found in How FarmVille Scales - The Follow-up.
If real farming was as comforting as it is in Zynga's mega-hit Farmville then my family would have probably never left those harsh North Dakota winters. None of the scary bedtime stories my Grandma used to tell about farming are true in FarmVille. Farmers make money, plants grow, and animals never visit the red barn. I guess it's just that keep-your-shoes-clean back-to-the-land charm that has helped make FarmVille the "largest game in the world" in such an astonishingly short time.
How did FarmVille scale a web application to handle 75 million players a month? Fortunately FarmVille's Luke Rajlich has agreed to let us in on a few their challenges and secrets. Here's what Luke has to say...

The Future of Renewables Initiative
The Future of Renewables Initiative connects wind and solar
companies, researchers, and professionals with innovative
K-12 renewable energy education projects.
The Future of Renewables Initiative connects wind and solar
companies, researchers, and professionals with innovative
K-12 renewable energy education projects.
Renewable energy is quickly becoming prominent on the national energy landscape, yet many gaps remain in the public's understanding of these energy sources and factual information is difficult to find. Even today, half of the US population cannot correctly name one renewable energy source!
That's why creating high-quality educational programs for students is so critical. We want to collaborate with you to develop programming that helps students think critically about the energies that will fuel the future, building informed communities in your areas of interest. With your financial support and our expertise, we can broaden and deepen our impact to the public to build the future of renewable energy.
We are looking for sponsors, partners, individuals, and organizations to support KidWind's Future of Renewables Initiative. We are happy to tailor your needs to meet our own. Start small by sponsoring prizes in your name at a KidWind Challenge, or go for a bigger impact by hosting a REcharge Lab in an area where you have developed or proposed projects.
The Governer's STEM Advisory Council of Iowa is providing a substantial grant for KidWind to pilot our REcharge Labs program in the state between 2014-2015. This grant will be used to fund the training workshops and Renewable Energy Festivals (including wind and solar design Challenges).
In 2014, EDPR's sponsorship funded teachers from across the nation to come to our WindSenator training in Saint Paul, MN in the summer of 2014. EDPR selected teachers from communities where they have built or are developing wind farms to become local wind energy experts.
The Wind Energy Foundation helped sponsor the planning and implementation of the WindSenators training. Their funding also helped offset the costs of bringing KidWind staff to the National KidWind Challenge in Washington, DC.
KidWind has been working with educators and students nationwide since 2003, imparting knowledge of renewable energies to more than 10,000 teachers and 600,000 students. Each year, we involve more people while fostering existing connections to grow our network exponentially.
KidWind has developed effective, engaging, and sustainable methods of bringing renewable energy education to school districts and communities across the nation through our four core program areas:
"Thank you for bringing this to a level that our kids understand. The teamwork, cooperation, and problem solving, along with the engineering skills that they are developing, are amazing."

Sexism and the Petraeus Scandal
By Fem2pt0 on November 26, 2012
Featured BlogHer Network Post
[Editor's note: One of the fascinating aspects of the David Petraeus sex scandal that evolved over the past month is not so much the revelation that he cheated on his wife, Holly, with a much younger woman. (Though I do think the general is a scumbag for doing so. For that matter, I have no idea what Gen. John Allen was up to regarding the thousands of emails he was exchanging with Tampa "military liaison" Jill Kelley. Isn't he supposed to be running the war in Afghanistan or something?) But what has really fascinated me is how quickly the media savaged Paula Broadwell and blamed her for Petraeus's extraordinary fall. K. Salis has an interesting take on the whole sordid mess at Fem2pt.0. What do you think?--Mona]
To me the bigger concern is how the media coverage of this story is re-playing the same virgin/whore dichotomy about the women involved, and slut-shaming away through anonymous sources about trivial actions that apparently make someone a harlot. The fact that Petraeus is being alternatively portrayed as an extraordinary man who had a big lapse in judgment is sexist in that women, regardless of their status, do not get that consideration. This characterization of women as non-complex, good or evil, in this cartoon fashion is damaging.

Maersk Helps in UN Food Saving Initiative
Maersk Container Industry has joined the United Nations' SAVE FOOD Initiative to help make international food logistics more efficient. "Food should not be wasted, but too often it is, and we believe our technologies can help improve the food logistics chain," says Peter K. Nymand, CEO of Maersk Container Industry, MCI. Robert van Otterdijk, team leader in SAVE FOOD, says: "Using appropriate refrigeration technology to improve storage and transport conditions for harvested food can have a significant impact on reducing food losses and waste." The UN food organization FAO, under which SAVE FOOD is organised, estimates that globally up to 50 % of fruits and vegetables are lost between farm and fork. Transport and distribution may account for between 5% and 20% of the loss depending on the specific region of the world. Technologies like Star Cool CA and AV+ are used to control a refrigeration container's temperature, humidity, air flow and air composition. This enables longer transports and better care for fruits and vegetables. As part of SAVE FOOD, MCI and other companies in the food industry will share expertise. SAVE FOOD sees a benefit from sharing knowledge throughout the food logistics chain where actions in one link invariably affect the next. "Food is lost or wasted in all links of the food value chain, including transport and distribution

Arizona bill would ban all union work on city dime
PHOENIX — An Arizona Senate committee has approved a bill that would ban
cities and towns from paying employees for doing union work.
The Senate Committee on Government and Environment approved an amendment to
House Bill 2418 that strikes the entire bill and replaces it with language
banning paying for union duties on Monday.
The bill is in response to a legal battle between the Goldwater Institute and
the city of Phoenix.
Phoenix agreed to stop employees for time spent performing union work after a
Maricopa County Superior Court judge in January ruled "release time" violates
the Arizona Constitution and that it doesn't benefit the public. But the battle
continues after the Phoenix City Council voted to extend employee vacation
hours. Goldwater says that is a way to skirt the ruling.

AbstractABSTRACT: To provide longer operating time and reduced weight power supplies for military platforms including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and solider communication devices, transformative advances are needed to increase the electrochemical energy storage density of batteries. The energy densities of current batteries are restricted by their utilization of predominantly single electron per molecular site charge storage processes. Vanadium diboride (VB2) undergoes an extraordinary 11 electron per molecule electrochemical oxidation process. Coupling this anode with a high capacity air cathode provides VB2-air batteries that have a theoretical volumetric energy density greater than that of gasoline. During the Phase I, Lynntech demonstrated VB2-air batteries with high capacities and rate capabilities. The Phase II project involves developing VB2-air batteries which have practical anode thicknesses and which provide current densities and capacities needed for military applications. Specific work in the Phase II involves optimization of the material, development of thick, high performance VB2 electrodes, cell performance testing, and evaluation of cell performance under simulated conditions. The development of VB2-air cells can provide batteries with significantly longer operation time and/or reduced weight compared to existing batteries. BENEFIT: High energy density VB2-air batteries have significant commercial potential based on their substantially higher energy densities compared with current primary and rechargreable batteries. Specific benefits for DoD include extended duration unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight times, reduced carry weight for soldiers, and extended duration sensors. The battery has a dual use for both military and civilian applications. Military applications include UAVs, soldier power, communication systems, weapons systems, remote sensors, and surveillance systems. Private sector applications for Lynntech"s VB2-air batteries include consumer hearing aids, long endurance sensors, and a broad range of consumer electronic devices.
