ENCINO, CA, April 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Castellan provides professional IT services in Hollywood, whether you need a computer consultant in Hollywood or bookkeeping services in Los Angeles. The following are just a few troubleshooting tips for do-it-yourselfers with at-home computer wireless routers.
The signal strength of your wireless router or base station (wireless access point) is the factor that most affects the performance of your Wi-Fi home computer network.
Some of the issues which adversely affect a wireless connection are related to distance, obstructions, or interference.
If a wireless device moves out of range of the signal, the connection will obviously be dropped. For the best performance of your wireless equipment, choose the location of the router or access point carefully. The most practical way to determine the best positioning for reliable wireless performance is trial and error. You'll no doubt find best results in a location that's centrally positioned.
Avoid physical obstructions that could detract from the effectiveness of your wireless connection. Any barriers to the line of sight between the wireless device and the router will diminish the Wi-Fi signal. The worst obstructions tend to be brick or plaster walls, but cabinets and furniture will also weaken the signal. For this reason, it's helpful to install the router on or near the ceiling.
Keep in mind that reflective surfaces such as mirrors, windows, and metal file cabinets can cause Wi-Fi signals to bounce around, lessening the performance and range of the wireless network.
Don't install a wireless route any closer than 3 feet from home appliances that send wireless signals in the same frequency range. These types of devices include microwave ovens, baby monitors, and cordless telephones.
The motors in some types of electrical equipment can generate interference with your wireless device, such as electric fans and fluorescent lighting.

Caterpillars inspire new movements in soft robots
2011-04-27
Researchers have been examining the diverse behaviours of caterpillars to find solutions for the new generation of search and rescue soft robots.
Despite their extreme flexibility and adaptability, current soft-bodied robots are often limited by their slow speed, leading the researchers to turn to terrestrial soft-bodied animals for inspiration.
Some caterpillars have the extraordinary ability to rapidly curl themselves into a wheel and propel themselves away from predators. This highly dynamic process, called ballistic rolling, is one of the fastest wheeling behaviours ...
