(Fatec 2007) Com base no texto, é possível afirmar que pesquisadores da Universidade de Paris relataram recentemente que tinham encontrado uma forma de OPTICAL FIBERS Optical fibers carry a dizzying amount of data each second, but a great deal of communication still gets beamed, via slower microwaves, from one dish antenna to another. Engineers didnt think there was any improvement to tease out of this technology, but researchers at the University of Paris recently reported in the journal Science that theyd found a way of focusing microwaves into a narrow beam, tripling the data rate.

(FATEC- 2007) MAPPING CRIME Police around the world are using technology to anticipate where the bad guys will strike next. A decade ago, Bogot had a bad name. Violent crime was out of control. Rather than buying more guns or patrol cars, Bogots cops went for something bigger: science. The city began superimposing millions of police bulletins onto digitized city maps to pinpoint which bandits were at work and where, down to the doorstep. By displaying crime data on easy-to-read city maps, police were able to target urban hot spots and optimize street patrols. Murders have since fallen by a third in the past five years and the polices approval rating has soared. Crime mapping has made us faster and more efficient, says Gen. Luiz Alberto Gmez, head of Bogot Metropolitan Police. We are serving the neighborhoods better. So are police in several countries, as the virtues of high-tech crimefighting become clear. Spiking crime rates everywhere from Colombia to Brazil, India to South Africa, have encouraged more and more cops to draw on technology to anticipate where criminals are going to strike next, so their thinly stretched forces can be at the right place at the right time. Without computerized crime analysis, says Alexandre Peres, a government security strategist in Pernambuco, northeast Brazil, policing is guesswork. The trend goes back to the early 1990s, when New York City police started using CompStat, a computer-driven mapping tool. In the next decade or so, violent crimes tumbled by 70 percent; the city now ranks 222nd in the country in crime. Major cities across the United States and Europe followed New Yorks lead, and now the rest of the world is catching on.
