 New Scientist Breaking News - Solar wind space capsule crashes
A space capsule containing solar wind ions, due to be captured in mid-air by helicopter, crashed into the Utah desert without deploying either of its two parachutes at 1158 EDT (1658 BST) on Wednesday.
The capsule was supposed to have been rushed to a clean room at an air base in Utah and purged of any atmospheric gases that could contaminate its samples.
Scientists had hoped the billion billion ions in the capsule would reveal the chemical composition of the cloud from which the Sun and planets condensed 4.5 billion years ago.

 Time Capsule
"Time Capsule" is a work-experience that lies somewhere between a local event-installation, a site-specific work in which the site itself is both my body and a remote database, a simulcast on TV and the Web, and interactive webscanning of my body.
The temporal scale of the work is stretched between the ephemeral and the permanent; i.e., between the few minutes necessary for the completion of the basic procedure, the microchip implantation, and the permanent character of the implant.
As with other underground time capsules, it is under the skin that this digital time capsule projects itself into the future.

The Capsule, a 5' x 5' x 5' sculpture of welded stainless steel, was designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, whose entry was chosen from among 50 proposals.
Calatrava's capsule design was chosen in an international design competition launched by The New York Times Magazine in 1999 that attracted some of the foremost names in architecture, design, and engineering from 15 countries.
The competition sought the best design for a capsule to preserve key artifacts from today for the next 1,000 years: a design that would be both a work of art and an educational ambassador to future generations.

SB Capsule Endoscope is a naturally ingested device for use in the gastrointestinal tract.
As the small intestine is to a large extent a "diagnostic gap", the diagnosis of diseases in the small intestine is often delayed, incomplete or the suspected diagnosis remains unconfirmed despite multiple diagnostic procedures.
SB Capsule has demonstrated to be an effective diagnostic tool in many patients with suspected small bowel disease, presenting with symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, unexplained abominal pain, weight loss, iron deficiency anemia and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

 Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
The diagnostic yield of wireless capsule endoscopy was compared with that of push enteroscopy in two studies and with radiographic small-bowel barium evaluation in two studies.
Wireless capsule endoscopy results were interpreted blindly by at least one investigator (i.e., without knowledge of the results of push enteroscopy) in both studies compared with push enteroscopy; while wireless capsule endoscopy findings were interpreted without knowledge of radiographic small-bowel study results in one study and with knowledge of small-bowel enteroclysis results in another study.
In yet another case, wireless capsule endoscopy excluded the presence of distal angioectasia in a patient with multiple jejunal angioectasias, and this patient responded to surgical resection of the proximal small bowel and did not require further transfusion.

Time capsules are created to commemorate special events such as church, school or town centennial, the raising of a building, or the dawning of a new millennium.
Survival of the items held within the capsule is dependent on the physical quality of the materials selected, the structure of the container, and the documentation of the event, contents, and location to retain a memory of its existence.
To help insure the capsule will be remembered by future generations, mark it’s location with a plaque describing the mission of the contents and the date to be opened.

 ICPC So you want to do a time capsule?
The irrepressible urge to create a time capsule commemorating new or renovated buildings or other community activity is still an active social formula despite contrary claims of logic and ample evidence of frequent failure.
There are three principal concerns to address: the physical quality of the materials you select for inclusion in the time capsule, the structure of the time capsule, and documentation of the contents and location.
Label the outside of the capsule clearly with a permanent material; create a checklist of the contents in duplicate (one copy for the time capsule enclosure and one file copy); and insure that a record of the time capsule along with the contents list is kept in several places.
