Nuggets Recovers TV Pot of Gold

Nuggets Recovers TV Pot of Gold










(PRWEB) April 30, 2005

The Nuggets project successfully created a software layer that will allow real-time networks to be used in broadcasting. “Broadcasting demands a very high Quality of Service (QoS), but up to now transfer speeds across networks were too slow for broadcasting applications,” says Jean-Pierre Lacotte, of Thompson Broadcast, coordinator of this IST-funded project.

“The optical cable is fast enough, but there are bottlenecks that cause a delay. That means the speed cannot be guaranteed,” he says.

As a result, broadcasters must send large production teams to cover live events, whether it’s parliamentary proceedings, football matches or Formula One events. Essentially, broadcasters must send a studio-worth of staff and equipment to these locations, turning them into mini-TV stations for the duration of the coverage at enormous cost. Meanwhile, studios at the home station remain unused.

If networks were fast and reliable enough to allow remote control, TV stations could simply send some technicians to set up the cameras and networks, and keep the producer, the ancillary staff and equipment at home, saving millions each year.

The Nuggets project means that in the near future broadcasters could keep that pot of gold. Nuggets pops open bottlenecks in networks by using compression technologies to get the data through faster. There are still problems.

“It’s no more a technical problem, but there are engineering issues. Decoding we have solved, but encoding is much more complex and we’d either need to use a bunch of PCs processing in parallel, or even better, a special chip to handle encoding. There is some progress on getting a chip designed but I’m not allowed to talk about it,” says Lacotte. There are also security and interface issues, though these too, can be addressed.

Once those problems are solved, and partners in the Nuggets project are actively pursuing solutions, broadcasting will finally have bombproof reliability as well as blistering speed.

With a service like that, running remote surgery centres will become far easier. Last year a surgeon in the US successfully operated on a patient in France, but this service requires very high standards of transmission. Nuggets is the solution.

Says Lacotte: “When we first started thinking about this remote surgery was one we wanted to see happen. And now it can.”

$ 100 Million Public Display: National Money Show™ Comes to Sacramento











The nearly nine-pound gold nugget recently found in Northern California (shown here next to a quarter-dollar for size perspective) will be displayed with over $ 100 million of historic rare coins and Gold Rush-era money at the American Numismatic Association’s National Money Show in the Sacramento Convention Center, March 17 – 19, 2011.

Sacramento, California (PRWEB) March 14, 2011

The headline-making, nine pound gold nugget recently discovered in Northern California will be publicly displayed for three days in Sacramento along with over $ 100 million of historic Gold Rush era money, famous rare coins and colorful, vintage currency at the National Money Show™, March 17 – 19, 2011 in the Sacramento Convention Center, 1400 J Street.

The educational, family event is sponsored by the nonprofit American Numismatic Association (http://www.money.org). Many of the 500 dealers from across the country who will be buying and selling at the show will also provide free, informal appraisals for the public’s old coins and currency.

Weighing just under 100 troy ounces (about nine pounds avoirdupois), the enormous gold nugget discovered last March in Nevada County is the largest verifiable California nugget in existence. It will be publicly exhibited courtesy of Holabird-Kagin Americana of Reno, Nevada.

Special exhibits from the American Numismatic Association Money Museum in Colorado Springs and from private collections nationwide include historic California Gold Rush era coins and century-old Sacramento paper money along with the first-ever display in Sacramento of:


The legendary Brasher Doubloon; struck by George Washington’s neighbor in 1787, it’s the first gold coin made for the young United States and insured today for $ 7.5 million.

One of the five known 1913 Liberty Head nickels; insured for $ 2.5 million, one former owner kept it in his pocket for decades to show strangers he owned the world’s most valuable nickel.

A famous 1804 U.S. silver dollar; known as “The King of Coins,” it is one of only 15 known and insured for $ 3.5 million.

An exhibit of autographs of U.S. Presidents with examples of vintage coins that circulated during their administrations.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people to see these historic, valuable treasures, and to rediscover gold in Sacramento,” said Larry Shepherd, Executive Director of the American Numismatic Association. The Congressionally chartered association is dedicated to educating and encouraging people to study and collect money and related items.

“Money is history you can hold in your hands,” said Clifford Mishler, President of the association. “There will be educational seminars, exhibits and a children’s treasure hunt trivia game with free prizes. Representatives of the United States Mint will showcase the latest commemorative coins, and over 500 professional coin and currency dealers will be buying and selling items with the public ranging from $ 1 to $ 1 million.”

Heritage Auctions of Dallas (http://www.HA.com) will conduct a major public auction of rare U.S. coins in conjunction with the show.

The National Money Show will be held in the Sacramento Convention Center, 1400 J Street, Thursday through Saturday, March 17 – 19, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. General admission is $ 6. Children 12 and under as well as ANA members under are admitted free.
