Tributes For Gozitan Woman Tragically Killed In Melbourne Freeway

Nov 8 2024

A 46-year-old Gozitan woman, MaryAnne Cutajar, tragically lost her life in a bizarre incident on a Melbourne freeway. Cutajar, who had moved to Australia 30 years ago and had just visited her homeland last month, was killed when a ramp detached from a truck and struck her vehicle.

The accident occurred on Thursday afternoon around 4pm on the Western Ring Road. The white truck, traveling towards Altona, lost its ramp, which flew into the Greensborough-bound lanes and hit Cutajar’s car near the Furlong Road exit in St Albans.

Authorities are searching for the driver of the truck, who fled the scene.

Police have urged anyone with dashcam footage to come forward. Inspector Craig McEvoy also appealed directly to the driver, asking them to check their vehicle, suggesting that they may have been unaware of the incident.

The ramp that fell is believed to be a Riv-Nail Driver system, a piece of specialized equipment used in industries such as mining and manufacturing.

Cutajar’s sister, Antonella, posted a heartfelt message on Facebook, asking for prayers for MaryAnne and her family during this devastating time.

‘& just like that – 17 years’, wrote Tamara.

‘It amazes me to think of everything we’ve been through together, and I can’t help but wonder what I did to deserve you? I can think of more flaws in myself than in you (though yes, you’re always the one running late, maaa).’

Scientists Reproduce Scents Through AI

Nov 8 2024

Osmo, a digital olfaction company, has made a breakthrough in “Scent Teleportation” using AI to analyse and reproduce scents remotely without human intervention.

By collecting scent data through a Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS), Osmo transmits this information to a molecular printer that synthesises the chemicals to recreate the scent. Previously, this process required human involvement at every stage, but Osmo has now automated it using AI.

The AI maps the scent onto Osmo’s Principal Odor Map (POM), a database that predicts molecular combinations corresponding to specific smells. The AI can then instruct a robotic system to replicate the scent.

The first successful scent digitisation involved a fresh summer plum, which Osmo CEO Alex Wiltschko described as an exciting achievement.

This advancement allows Osmo to process vast amounts of scent data with higher accuracy, even for subtle odour components. With the largest AI-compatible scent database, the company is also designing new scents for the fragrance industry.

Scent teleportation could revolutionise industries like virtual reality, where users could smell virtual environments, and have medical uses for conditions like anosmia.

While there are challenges, such as protecting proprietary fragrances, AI-driven scent reproduction holds significant potential across various fields.
