Beach Advisory in Place for Five Duluth Beaches

September 5, 2013 Updated Sep 5, 2013 at 12:23 PM CDT

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Five Duluth beaches have been placed under a beach advisory due to elevated E. coli levels in the water.

The following beaches have a No Water Contact Advisory: - Brighton Beach located in Duluth in Gitche Gummi Park.

- Leif Erikson Park Beach located in Duluth, below Leif Erikson Park.

- Franklin Park / 13th Street South Beach located on the lakeside of Park Point in Duluth at 13th Street.

- Minnesota Point Harborside / 15th Street Beach located on the harbor-side of Park Point in Duluth at 15th Street.

- 20th Street / Hearding Island Canal Beach located on the harbor-side of Park Point, at 20th Street.

The elevated E. coli levels could be due to the presence of fecal contamination. The water at each beach will be tested again later today.

If you become sick after coming into contact with the water at any of the beaches listed above, you are asked to call the Minnesota Health Department.

Could This New Artificial Intelligence Revolutionize Health Care?

Posted on by

To most investors, Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) is best known as the creator of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) virtual assistant, Siri.

However, Nuance's voice recognition products also have a major presence in the artificial intelligence and health care fields -- two major areas of growth benefiting from the rising demand for more cloud-based products and services.

Bringing Wintermute to lifeMost of Nuance's products aren't as easily recognizable as those from Apple or Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) , but they are equally ambitious, if not more so.

Nuance's Project Wintermute (sarcastically named after the insane AI of William Gibson's Neuromancer) is aiming to become the first cross-platform synchronized cloud assistant that can cross all boundaries between devices, brands, and operating systems. This means that if users were to pause a song or video on their Android phones, it could be resumed from the same spot on a different device, such as a tablet or a PC.

Wintermute originated from Nuance's Dragon TV voice control system, which was designed for set-top boxes, cable boxes, and smart TVs. The voice recognition system is a major improvement over Siri in that it understands complex, casual commands, such as "keep playing the song I was listening to" or "throw on the game." Like Siri, Wintermute is also programmed to interact with more natural and possibly humorous responses.

Building the perfect, seamless cloudAlthough Wintermute is still in the early stages of development, it will be a step up from current cloud services. For example, Google's cloud-based ecosystem -- which includes Maps, YouTube, Chrome and other services -- can save favorites, preferences and settings over the Internet so they can be accessed from other devices. However, with the exception of Google Docs, these settings and changes are not saved in real time. For example, a YouTube video can be saved, but not resumed, from another device.

More importantly, Wintermute saves a user's queries and learns from themin a similar way to Google's collection of stored Internet data, to predict future behavior and needs.

However, both Google and Apple are working on their own projects. Google is following up on AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton's research, known as "deep learning" technology, and Apple is working on a "Nuance-free" version of Siri that could cut the company out of the loop.

Applications in health careThat desire to create a perfect cross-platform cloud solution opens the door to fascinating opportunities in the health care industry, where real-time results are a necessity in medical situations.

Nuance's health care business is already booming. Last quarter, the company's health care unit reported a 29.1% year-on-year gain in revenue -- a stark contrast to its slumping mobile and consumer business, which reported a 16.2% decline. Nuance's main health care products includeClintegrity 360, Dragon Medical 360 and PowerScribe 360 -- all of which use voice capture, recognition, and documentation to aid physicians in the improvement of their daily workflow.

UTC Aerospace Systems Selected by Aeroflot to Provide Wheels and Carbon Brakes on 737NG Fleet

Posted on by

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --UTC Aerospace Systems has been selected by Aeroflot, Russia's flagship airline, to supply the wheels and carbon brakes for its new fleet of 50 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX), will provide the equipment through its Wheels & Brakes business in Troy, Ohio. The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery in September, 2013.

The 737 Next Generation carbon brakes use proprietary DURACARB carbon heat sink material. The DURACARB carbon provides exceptional brake performance and a 35 percent brake life advantage over competitive products. The wheels and carbon brakes provide a weight savings of approximately 700 pounds (318kg) per aircraft compared to high capacity steel brakes.

"This latest contract with Aeroflot is a nice addition to the previously announced B777ER selection," said Cory May, vice president of commercial programs, Wheels & Brakes. "We are pleased to provide Aeroflot with a lower total cost of ownership for their 737 Next Generation fleet."

"We enjoy excellent product performance, reliability and customer support on our current fleets equipped from UTC Aerospace Systems," stated Igor Parakhin, technical director for Aeroflot Russian Airlines. "We look forward to realizing the benefits associated with their brake life advantage on our new 737-800 Next Generation fleet."
