CONNECT WITH MWRF [Education] Fractal Microstrip Antenna Aids Wideband Applications This fractal microstrip patch antenna is ideal for multiple-band and broadband applications over a total 45-GHz bandwidth from 5 to 50 GHz. Creative world at the Mesilla Valley Fractal Artists show They are artists with their own unique — and some say magical — visions of the world. Share their creative viewpoints at the Mesilla Valley Fractal Artists show this month at the Tombaugh Gallery of the Unitarian Universalist Church, 2000 S. Solano Drive. Revolutionary Military Antenna Approach Unveiled Eleven years of development have finally paid off for Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. The "Fractal" Limit Order Buster: The Latest Market Manipulation Algo Gimmick Yesterday, just after 8 pm Eastern we presented a very curious move in NatGas trading on the NYMEX when under very light volume, the NG performed something akin to a sine wave expansion, with about 12 peaks and troughs with ever increasing amplitude, until ultimately it triggered a major sell off when it appeared to touch off an avalanche of limit orders about 3% from the prevailing price ... Presenting The Natgas "Fractal" Algo Just when we thought we had seen it all, along comes another 19 year old math Ph.D. with the latest demonic-cum-fractal algo to show us just what cavemen we truly are... h/t Taro Using Fractal Interconnects To Improve Electronic Eyes An anonymous reader writes "Electronic eyes today remind me of Frankenstein with the way they jab electrodes from each pixel into the optic nerve and hope for the best. Some researchers claim to have solved this problem by growing fractal electrodes that mimic the way real eyes connect retinal cells to the optic nerve. If they are right — and their research will find out over the next year ... Visualized: the coolest desktop chassis at Computex, literally Having a gadget encased in ice is always a cool stunt (pun intended), but Fractal took one step further by using blocks of ice cut out of a Swedish river, and then have them shipped all the way to Computex in Taiwan. Apparently that's how Scandinavians roll. As for the actual products, frequent desktop builders may have already heard of Fractal for its silent, minimalistic chassis, which ... nanoflowers that will help people who've lost their sight Forecast calls for nanoflowers to help return eyesight, University of Oregon physicist Richard Taylor is leading effort to design fractal devices to put in eyes.EUGENE, Ore. -- University of Oregon researcher Richard Taylor is on a quest to grow flowers that will help people who've lost... The Story Of The Berserk Nat Gas Algo Just Got Really Strange We have already posted two articles on the case of the berserk "fractal" nat gas algo which caused a mini swoon in Nymex gas (NG) prices last night, preceded by some very abnormal trading patterns (discussed here and here ). However, per additional observations on what happened, courtesy of Nanex, this very odd case is about to take a very disturbing detour into the downright surreal. Per Nanex ... Goldman Goes Short Nat Gas Last week we had the advance stop order shake out warning courtesy of berserk inverted fractal HFT algos which were completely not accidental. Now we get the real thing. Just out from Goldman's Samantha Dart: "NYMEX natural gas prices have rallied 12% in the past three weeks, largely driven by strong cooling-related demand for natural gas on the back of significantly warmer-than-average ...
