Reversing Paralysis
Scientists are making remarkable progress at using brain implants to restore the freedom of movement that spinal cord injuries take away.
Scientists are wirelessly connecting brain-reading technology directly to electrical stimulators on the body, creating a “neural bypass” so that people’s thoughts can again move their limbs for paralyzed people. The science is still in beginning stages, but their is a great desire for these solutions.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

From human limitations, to potentials
BIONICS
2. Introduction
▪ Since time immemorial, human has done inventions to mimic the Mother
Nature. Necessities has forced him to discover technologies to help the
ailing society. So, it must be accepted that if social disabilities persist, the
person is not crippled; rather the technology is crippled, broken. A century
ago,Tuberculosis had no cure. Surely, technology that time was crippled!
▪ Many people around us challenge the physical disabilities like deafness,
blindness, amputations, etc. But we are not bestowed with regeneration
capabilities to overcome these.The technology remained crippled for
many years until research in STEM CELLS, BIONICS, and SENSORY
SUBSTITUTION took place.
▪ Bionics has been practically implemented and many people have
overcome their disability to much extent by this technology.
3. What is ‘Bionics’?
▪ Bionics - as the name suggests is the interplay of ‘BIOlogy’ and
‘electrONICS’. By dictionary, bionics means “comprising or made up of
artificial body parts that enhance or substitute for a natural biological
capability”[1]
. Generally, a mechatronic prosthetic system is interfaced to
the biological body to overcome the disability.
▪ It is seen in most of the cases that even if the body part is not working
well (say the ear, eye or body part is amputated), the part of brain
responsible for controlling it, works fine. So, if one is amputated, his
brain’s motor cortex works fine. Bionics exploits this idea. As ideology, it
believes that the signals from the brain could be extracted, deciphered
and then implemented by mechatronic prosthetic system . Even more, it
believes sending back the feedback/stimulus to brain, say by the
prosthetic system.
4. History[2]
1958 : The first artificial pacemaker byWilson Greatbatch
1971 : Bausch & Lomb develop the world’s first soft contact lens.
1978 : The multi-channel cochlear implant, which allows the recipient to hear by mimicking the function of the cochlea, is
first used.
1983 : A person born blind implanted with bionic eye by Joao Lobo Antunes
2000 : An artificial silicon retina is implanted into a human eye.The artificial retina is made from silicon microchips which
contain thousands of tiny light-converting units.
2001 : Amputee Jesse Sullivan receives a fully robotic arm developed by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.The arm has
a nerve muscle graft which allows him to use his own thoughts to move the artificial limb.
2002 : Argus I, Bionic Eye, clinically tested on 6 patients
2002 : Project Cyborg - Array of 100 Electrodes implanted to nervous system of KevinWarwick.The signal produced was
transmitted, and felicitated a prosthetic arm to mimicWarwick’s hand movements. Later Warwick’s nervous system was
connected to internet.
2004 : The Rheo Knee, Hugh Herr, Bionic Knee for walking, running.
2006 : Argus II, Bionic Eye, approved for commercial use in Europe.
5. PROSTHETIC LIMB
Human Limitation: Due to accidents in military scenarios, road, trekking, etc 10
million people worldwide[3]
has been victimized to amputation (till September, 2008). Due
to this moral, physical, social, and economic life of the victim gets affected and slowed.
7. Bionics in Prosthesis
HOW DOESTHE MOTION IN HUMAN OCCUR ACTUALLY ?
Upper motor neurons(Cortico-spinal) inter-neurons arise from the motor cortex and
descend to the spinal cord.They activate the lower motor-neurons through
synapses.These lower motor neurons innervate the muscles.The alpha motor
neurons innervate the extrafusal muscle fibers.These muscle fibers cause fast and
rough motion.The gamma motor neurons are responsible for precise motion.
HOW DOES BIONICS INCORPORATE IT ?
Bionics uses the fact that even if a part is amputated, the concerned brain portion
works fine. In case of amputated hand/legs or other locomotors, the MOTOR
CORTEX works fine. It exploits this fact that lower motor neurons innervate the
muscle fibers. So if some mechanism is involved that could get signals from these
innervated nerves (that cause motion) prosthesis could be given a new dimension.
8. HOW DOES BIONICS INCORPORATE IT ? contd..
Using surface electrodes, EMG, EEG sensors that could read the
signals from nerve.They are generally stickered to human body
muscle (hand/leg/thighs). In some cases they could be injected
inside the body. In Project Cyborg 100 electrodes were implanted
in the nervous system.
9. Analysis of advancement:
▪ Many nerves innervate the muscles responsible for control and precision of
movement. Still among the many electrical signals sent from brain for motion,
we make use of few that gives the prosthetic design to function roughly. For
more preciseness we need to decipher among many electrical signals and noise,
the meaning of instructions.
▪ The hand has 27 degrees of freedom naturally. Still, we are not able to achieve
the number.The system remains underactuated.
▪ Research work is under process to use other muscles to control body parts. Ex:
neck muscles could control the movement of prosthetic hand.This needs
rigorous training and research.
▪ Sensing, or sending stimulations back to brain is still under research.
10. COCHLEAR IMPLANT
Human Limitation: Many persons worldwide are profoundly deaf due
to damage to sensory hair cells in the Cochleas. More than 4 lacs
people worldwide are deaf by this cause.
12. Bionics in Cochlear Implant
HOW DOES HEARING IN HUMAN OCCUR ACTUALLY ?
Ear is made of thousands of hair cells.They get stimulated by sound and begin to
vibrate, thereby passing electrical impulses to cochlear/auditory nerve.
HOW DOES BIONICS INCORPORATE IT ?
In many cases of deafness (sensorineural), the hair cells do not function well, and
thus could not send signals to brain. Bionics, which sees brain working fine, tries
to sort out the issue with hair cells. An external stimulator is used to stimulate the
cochlear nerve.
13. HOW DOES BIONICS INCORPORATE IT ? Contd..
As stated the hair cells do not function properly.
As a solution, a lead of electrodes is implanted in
the ear. This help in replication of what hair cells
do. The implantation may contain from 1 to 22
electrodes, each being stimulated for different
frequencies and pitches. These electrodes then
stimulate the nerves, thereby sending signals to
brain. The electrodes are wound through the
cochlea.
External System:
•Microphone : Receives the sound frequencies.
•Speech processor : Acts on the frequencies received, filters out the audio frequency, divides the filtered
output in channel and send to the transmitter.
•Transmitter : Sends the channelized output to internally placed receiver.
Internal System: (Implanted Inside the ear)
•Receiver : It receives the signal transmitted externally.
•Stimulator: It converts the signal into electrical impulses and sends them via internal cable to
electrodes.
•Electrodes : They send the impulse to the cochlear nerve.
14. Analysis of advancement:
▪ The sound quality is not natural, as no o f electrodes used limit the natural
quality.
▪ Research is still going on how the brain interprets loudness, quality, direction of
sound, and pitch of sound. Further advancements will lead to improved
efficiency in performance of Implants.
▪ It is able to send feedback signal to brain as compared to prosthetic limb.
15. BIONIC EYE (VISUAL PROSTHESIS)
Human Limitation : Many persons lose their vision partially or fully due to
degraded photoreceptors. Disabilities like Retinitis pigmentosa,
choroideremia cause human to lose their vision.
18. •The biocompatibility of the implant and the human host is still under
research.
•The stimulation caused by the ARCC (Artificial Retina Component Chip)
could affect the retinal and cortical tissue because of the intensity needed to
stimulate the nerve endings in order for a retinal response.
•Many further projects[4]
are being researched for improvement in retinal
prosthesis.
Analysis of advancement:
