A camera in the security lines at Dallas Love Field is scanning every passerby for elevated temperatures, in a test by the airport and Southwest Airlines to find out if it can detect sick people before they board flights.
In the back hallways, employees are getting temperature checks at kiosks before they start work each day, trying to keep sick employees out of the airport, too.
As airlines, companies and governments scramble to reopen a battered economy facing the eighth month of a worldwide pandemic, airports are now the frontline for evolving thermal imaging technologies designed to pick out infected travelers before they can spread COVID-19 further.
Temperature scanning device makers such as Dallas-based Wello Inc. and Beaumont’s Infared Cameras Inc. have suddenly been inundated with requests for their technology. Even small restaurants, hotels and schools are asking about it.
“It’s not just convention centers and airlines,” said Gary Strahan,

The focus of the Army is ground combat and the way the Army fights is through fire and maneuver.
So, it makes sense that the job of figuring out where technological advances, doctrine and tactics meet would be at the epicenter of innovations in ground combat — the Maneuver Center of Excellence in Columbus, Ga.
To see how the center brings those ideas together in a fast-changing force, Army Times talked with Maj. Gen. Patrick Donahoe, commander of MCOE, ahead of this year’s virtual Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition, which begins Oct. 13.
While tech gets the headlines and cool videos, it’s how that technology is implemented by the service that makes the difference, Donahoe argued.
Some of that can produce fairly large-scale changes, and so soldiers are likely to see a rethinking of formations, such as the brigade combat team, that have been around for
There are many places in this world that are hard for researchers to study, mainly because it’s too dangerous for people to get there.
Now University of Washington researchers have created one potential solution: A 98 milligram sensor system — about one tenth the weight of a jellybean, or less than one hundredth of an ounce — that can ride aboard a small drone or an insect, such as a moth, until it gets to its destination. Then, when a researcher sends a Bluetooth command, the sensor is released from its perch and can fall up to 72 feet — from about the sixth floor of a building — and land without breaking. Once on the ground, the sensor can collect data, such as temperature or humidity, for almost three years.
The team presented this research Sept. 24 at MobiCom 2020.

Cody Rasmussen sat in a computer science class a decade ago at Dell Rapids High School. The computer teacher disassembled a computer in front of the entire class, and Rasmussen said he was hooked.
That classroom demonstration was the first time he’d gotten the itch to pursue a career in the computer and gaming industry. Now living on the east side of Sioux Falls, Rasmussen and business partner Calen Kusler have opened Ground Zero Gaming in Brandon. The store is located at 1316 East Cedar Street.
Ironically, the computer industry isn’t one Rasmussen pursued. He went to culinary school, but the gaming bug was too big to ignore.
A South Korean company specialising in genome editing has announced plans to initiate the development of treatments for genetic diseases in Qatar with local collaboration.
“Qatar stands out in the Gulf region as a centre for medical excellence, having global educational institutions providing research and development (R&D), training, and education for the future pioneers in the field of medicine and science. “We at G+FLAS have recognised this and have initiated our goal of establishing a centre in Doha to share our R&D experience in genome editing, CRISPR PLUS technology,” the company said in a statement. G+FLAS, which is based in South Korea, was founded in 2014 by its CEO, Dr Sunghwa Choe, and specialises in CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology and applicational technology development; product development and production of biomedicine, and anti-cancer drugs, among others; plant-derived pharmaceuticals; genetic disease treatment; precision targeted therapy; CRISPR Cancerase; non-GMO; novel seed for arid lands;

INDIANA – Under the shade of the Oak Grove trees on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus Wednesday, members of the school’s administration, board of trustees and alumni gathered to break ground on the new science and mathematics building.
The John J. and Char Kopchick Hall will be a state-of-the-art, $90 million facility offering 142,536 square feet of laboratories, collaborative space, formal teaching areas, flexible classrooms and housing the Kopchick College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
John and Char Kopchick graduated from the university in the 1970s and donated $23 million to the university in April 2018 for the science and mathematics initiatives at IUP, the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the school.
“This is a milestone moment for IUP,” Vice President for University Advancement Khatmeh Osseiran-Hanna said at the groundbreaking.
Osseiran-Hanna led a series of speakers that featured the Kopchicks; university President Michael Driscoll; and alumnus, trustee
