  • Converts RGB values to Hex (they’re smaller)
  • Converts Hex values in the format #RRBBGG to #RGB.
  • Changes zero values with a size specified to 0. (0px would change to 0)
  • Changes values such as border: 1px 2px 1px 2px; to border: 1px 2px;
  • Converts multiple background, font, margin, padding, list attributes into a single attribute
  • Converts multiple border values into single attributes

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
