Data handling in the smart grid: do we know enough?
We propose here a research agenda to appropriately balance the advantages of fine-grained energy usage data with the associated privacy risks.

Evidence Shows How the Right Use of Technology Can Increase Math Learning
SRI researchers published a series of studies that examine whether technology is effective and how it helps. Our findings show that technology can increase students’ understanding of math concepts, but only as part of a more comprehensive learning approach—one that also includes curricular content and teacher professional development.

SXSW: Sharing SRI’s Secrets to Successful Innovation
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at SXSW. My session on “commercialization secrets at SRI” was over-subscribed, with a few hundred attending, and many being turned away. This was a pleasant surprise, given the time of the talk was 9:30am on a Saturday morning! Anthony Ha of TechCrunch was a superb interviewer, and for…

Flexible, large-area sensor circuits fabricated by additive printing
Organic materials have been demonstrated as good candidates for large-area flexible sensors, because they allow wide tolerance of sensor geometry and thickness, which would ease fabrication problems such as strain induced cracking on deformable platforms.

Growing the Bay Area Robotics Scene: Nine Companies to Watch
Silicon Valley Robotics (SVR) recently held its first Investor Breakfast at SRI headquarters in Menlo Park, with kudos from attending investors and the 10 participating early-stage companies. Part of SVR’s mission is to help nurture early-stage robotics companies in the greater Silicon Valley area. Both a growing list of start-up robotics companies in the Bay Area…

Towards a Theory of Application Compartmentalisation
Drawing a comparison with capability systems, we consider how a distributed system interpretation supports an argument that compartmentalisation improves application security.

Understanding the Roles of Strictly Conserved Tryptophan Residues in O-2 Producing Chlorite Dismutases
The chlorite dismutases (Clds) degrade ClO2− to O2 and Cl− in perchlorate respiring bacteria, and they serve still poorly defined cellular roles in other diverse microbes.

Ferritin and Ferrihydrite Nanoparticles as Iron Sources for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to acquire iron from exogenous ferritin was assessed; ferritin is an iron-concentrating and antioxidant protein complex composed of a catalytic protein and caged ferrihydrite nanomineral synthesized from Fe(II) and O2 or H2O2.

β-Carotene Biosynthesis in Probiotic Bacteria
To increase vitamin A coverage in malnourished children, we propose to engineer a probiotic bacterium that will produce β-carotene in the intestine, which will be metabolized to vitamin A.
