space station


A space station is an artificial structure designed for humans to live in outer space.Space stations are currently (as of 2007) used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human body as well as to provide platforms for greater number and length of scientific studies than available on other space vehicles.Space stations have been used for both military and civilian purposes. The last military-use space station was Salyut 5, which was used by the Almaz program of the Soviet Union in 1976 and 1977.

Gules

UK robotics researchers have taken up the task of creating a robot that would reproduce human facial expressions most accurately, and it seems they succeeded. Jules, the result of their combined efforts, is a bodyless talking robot head that can make use of its 34 under-skin servo motors in order to move its facial "muscles," such as lips, eyebrows or foreheadThe scientists from the University of Bristol have managed to develop a piece of software that would transmit images of a human face to the robot's "brain", which will appropriately adjust the motion of the engines, which in turn will move the rubber skin and the eyes in order for the robotic face to reflect the respective images. .

computer virus


A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer. Viruses aree sometimes confused with computer worms or Trojan horses.

3-D Printers




3D typing is a category of rapid prototyping technology. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use. This new technology is being used for medicine. One variation of 3D printers consists of an inkjat printing system.This technology is the only one that allows for the printing of full color prototypes. It is also recgonized as the fastest method.

Flying Cars



The people @ NASA have built something they call "the highway in the sky". It's a computer system that allows people to fly when ever they want, land or takeoff from where ever they want in their own cars. Good news-- alot of people are building machines one day people will be able to buy.Ther ewon't be any more traffic jam. Some will even drive themselves.

internet safety


The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.But that access can also pose hazards.
Smart Shirt
The Smart Shirt is manufactured by Sensatex, but was developed by the Georgia Institute and originally funded by the US military's 21st Century Land Warrior Program and the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (Bowie 2000). The shirt contains sensors that can be used to monitor vital signs such as heart rate, EKG, respiration, and blood pressure.

The Smart Shirt uses what the company calls interconnection technology that involves networking sensing, monitoring, and information processing devices (Sensatex 2005). Information from the optical sensing and electrical conducting fibers in the shirt are sent to a “transmitter at the base of the shirt where it is stored on a memory chip or sent to your doctor, coach, or personal server via a wireless network like Bluetooth, RF, wLAN, or cellular network”(Tollen 2001).

The Smart Shirt System designed for athletes can be used to maximize training and performance. The Athletic Smart Shirt System allows the athlete to track and monitor “biometric data, such as heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, caloric burn, and provides readouts via a wristwatch, PDA/smart phone, or voice” (Sensatex 2005). The information can also be stored and accessed using the internet in order for the athlete to track his or her progress over time.
