X-Message-Number: 17141 Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2001 10:03:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Driven FromThePack <> Subject: CryoProtect: Surveillance and Alert System for Cryonics I have just begun a project that I have wanted to work on for a long time. Last night I gathered the first data for a rudimentary surveillance and alert system for cryonicists. This system would use the very inexpensive x10 home automation devices (such as motion sensors) hooked up to a personal computer, which could run a program to monitor movement patterns, and then go online and alert other cryonicists through the internet. Other cryonicists could then interface with a webcam or other devices to determine the condition of the cryonicist in question, and possibly take remote action to enhance cryopreservation. Last night I gathered data via my computer and two hooked-up motion sensors. The data gathered was quite encouraging (a max of about 45 minutes elapsed without any motion while I was asleep). However, I have some obstacles to overcome before I can move onto the development of the main driver programs. I have posted a complete writeup here: http://www.mylinuxisp.com/~cryofan/ I would very much appreciate the help of any computer savvy people, as I work many hours, and so have limited time available, but I will continue to work on this, and will continue to post updates. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
