AES found to be 'mathematically wrong'

18 July 2013

Jul 18: PAS’s Anti-Summons Campaign (KASE) movement has claimed that RM13.55 million paid to the Automatic Enforcement System providers Beta Tegap and ATES Sdn Bhd is mathematically wrong.

KASE legal advisor Zulhazmi Shariff said the figure provided by the Transport ministry on distribution of profits between AES providers and the government did not tally.

With 66,735 of 673,339 summonses paid, Zulhazmi questioned why AES providers were paid RM13.55 million when they were only entitled for RM1.07 million at the rate of RM16 per ticket.

“If the companies have been paid RM13.55 million from the total compound RM20.02 million collected, the balance is RM6.5 million. But the government only took RM3.429 million. Where is the remaining RM3.039 million?” he asked.

Under the 'three tier' payment scheme, AES providers are entitled to get RM16 per summons for the first 5 million summonses issued in the first stage. Once this mark is reached, AES providers get to share 50 percent of profit with the government with revenue up to maximum of RM270 million annually and 7.5 percent profit sharing for any amount exceeding the previous level.

Zulhazmi said even if the government had collected the full payment for 673,339 summonses issued, Beta Tegap and ATES should only be entitled to RM10.77 million and not RM13.55 million, based on the reply in parliament by the Transport ministry.

Despite coming under fire over its secretive agreement with AES providers, the government went ahead with AES last September. But prior to the 13th general election, the Attorney-General’s Chambers ordered a freeze on court proceedings related to summonses issued under AES.

In addition to the current 14 cameras, 404 more cameras will be installed under a roll-out plan targeted for September.

Man Hears People Speak Before Their Lips Move!

Who hasn’t made fun of old, out-of-sync kung fu movies or Godzilla movies?

But what if you woke up one day and that’s how you actually saw/heard the world?

That’s currently how only one person ever known to science now hears/sees the world.

After surgery for a heart problem, the guy, simply known as PH started noticing something odd:

“I was staying with my daughter and they like to have the television on in their house. I turned to my daughter and said ‘you ought to get a decent telly, one where the sound and programme are synchronised’. I gave a little chuckle. But they said ‘there’s nothing wrong with the TV I told my daughter her living room TV was out of sync. Then I noticed the kitchen telly was also dubbed badly. Suddenly I noticed that her voice was out of sync too. It wasn’t the TV, it was me.”

While there is a TON of medical terminology that we could throw around here to explain in detail what’s going on, we’ll simplify it.

PH actually hears people BEFORE he sees their lips move! Not only that but PH also realized that it’s not just other people he’s looking at as they speak..it’s his own words too! PH hears the words he’s saying BEFORE he feels his jaw move!

Since light and sound move at different speeds from the point of origin our brain is set up to process them so that they all sync. While no one’s really sure how the brain makes all this work, scientists are even more confused now that PH and his unique situation has entered the playing field.

Scientists are continuing to study what’s happened to PH because he’s the only person in the world to ever have this happen…

Unless it’s triggered in all of us while we watch late-night kung fu and Godzilla movies.

Robot labah-labah

Peminat teknologi kejuruteraan tentu teruja dengan berita bahawa satu robot labah-labah bakal dijual lewat tahun ini.

“Jika anda tahu sesiapa yang takut kepada labah-labah, anda mungkin mahu usik mereka dengan T8 Spiderbot,” kata laman web teknologi Ubergizmo. 

Robot labah-labah berkenaan adalah hasil cetakan printer 3D dan dicipta dengan meniru cara labah-labah bergerak dengan menggunakan lapan kaki. 

Robot T8 Spiderbot ini dicipta oleh Robugtix. Bagi menggerakkan tubuhnya, T8 mempunyai 26 mesin ‘servo motor’ untuk tujuan itu.

Mesin berkenaan membantu T8 untuk bergerak seperti labah-labah asli yang boleh digunakan dalam apa jua keadaan termasuk dalam air.

Malah, pengendalian T8 cukup mudah kerana pengguna tak perlu memahami mengenai program dan teknik pergerakannya kerana mempunyai alat kawalan ‘XBee nirkabel.’
T8 dijangka mula dijual pada September depan dengan harga AS$1,350 (RM4,050) tetapi perlu membeli alat kawalannya yang berharga AS$85 (RM255).
Jika tidak mampu atau menganggapnya mahal, ada satu lagi robot labah-labah diberi nama ‘iitsii hexapod’ berkaki enam dan mula dijual pada bulan Ogos dengan harga AS$250 (RM750) satu. Labah-labah itu menandakan teknologi robot semakin baik.
