Pictures over the weekend showed the tiny capsule which would be sent down to rescue the trapped miners. However, it won't be easy since the capsule can only carry one person for the long trip back to the service. With the additional plan that would mean the miners would have to climb a ladder out, if the Phoenix capsule fails.
Currently, the miners are going through training to prepare themselves for a escape out of the mine, which will hopefully take place a month from now.
""They have a two kilometre stretch of tunnels. The men are walking the tunnels and some are jogging. We are using US army fitness training, so the men sing while they jog."-Guardian

A new intelligent pill designed by Philips, the Dutch electronics company, promises to deliver medicine in the right place, at the right time, inside your body. The company, best known for consumer products like webcams and wireless headphones, is packing some of the same technology into the new pill, known as the iPill. Containing a microprocessor, battery, wireless radio, pump and a reservoir for medication, the inch-long capsule is designed to treat digestive tract disorders such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis [Times Online].
Once swallowed, the iPill allows researchers to keep track of its precise location through a wireless transmitter. It sends dispatches about the temperature and acidity of its surroundings to an outside receiver as it travels through the GI tract over the course of a day or two. The acidity, measured by pH, of the gut decreases as the pill gets further from the stomach, and that allows researchers to pinpoint the place where the drug is needed [San Francisco Chronicle]. Researchers can pre-program drug release when certain conditions are met or cue the drug release using a remote controller.A new intelligent pill designed by Philips, the Dutch electronics company, promises to... more
