  • Computer Gaming; Design Planning for Future Events

    Rating: 

    It should be quite obvious by now that in the future our aircraft will fly themselves and cars will drive themselves. It is therefore necessary when designing computer games to plan for such future events and put in the future for the gamer. In other words you will have to design vehicles, which go very fast and maneuver very quickly and can do it by themselves.Read more…
  • Healing the World: Telemetry Systems

    Rating: 

    Telemetry, derived from the Greek words, tele meaning remote, and metron meaning measure, is the technology of automatic measurement and transmission of information by wire, radio, or other means from remote sources, as from space vehicles, to receiving stations where the data may be evaluated. The primary purpose of telemetry systems is to collect data at a place that is remote or inconvenient, and to transmit the data back to a point where the data is recorded and analyzed. In general, these systems are used in the analysis of moving vehicles such as cars, aircrafts, missiles and orbiting satellites.Read more…
  • Abatement of Nano Pollution thru Combustion

    Rating: 

    As the private sector and free enterprise begine manufacturing Nano Tech materials which may in fact manufacture themselves through self replication and duplication; there will be issues where the Nano Tech particles which may be self replicating getaway from a laboratory or the building which is manufacturing them.If you will recall the book by Michael Creighton “Prey” you'll remember just how serious things got as the Nano Tech organic material started self replicating and taking over the area. Chances are we are a ways off from self replicating organic material in Nano Tech although we eventually we will get there, however non organic Nano Tech material that may be self replicating and used in manufacturing of materials will be so small and tiny that it will be very hard to control and thus, if it escapes the area in which is constructing itself it could cause the real problem for the local ecosystem and become a huge issue with water supplies and pollution.Read more…
  • Abatement of Comet Fragments

    Rating: 

    In the future mankind may need to be able to break up Comets, Asteroids and Meteors that are headed for Earth.

But how can we do this safely?Read more…
  • Abatement of Bacteria and Bio Warfare Combat

    Rating: 

    If we are to send troops into a foreign land and the enemy uses biological weapons to attack our troops, then we will need to defend against this and protect the human bio systems of each and every soldier. But we also have to worry about the abatement of bacteria and the problems that bio warfare combat compounds, chemicals and biological contaminants contain.For instance even if the soldiers put on their special gas masks and suits, this does not mean that the bacteria or biological contaminant or chemical is not all over the vehicles and equipment and that must all be cleaned too.Read more…
  • Abatement Color Coding

    Rating: 

    Various bacteria and virus threats and even biological weapons will show up on various light spectrums as different colors and if we have sensors which can pick up these various colors then we can better abate the situation and alleviate the problem without fear of loss of life or attacks on the human bio-system.If we use abatement color coding with special sensors we can know where the clustering of the biological threat is and then send out Nano Tech devices of a micro-scale to each area of concern. Although we will not be able to see all this in action we will be able to see the changes in color coding of light to let us know that it is either working or it is not working.Read more…
  • Abatement of Bacteria in Space Capsules

  • Bind Your Own Customized Yearbooks - By: Jeff McRitchie
    For small and medium sized schools, creating a high quality customized yearbook can often be cost prohibitive. The large companies that specialize in creating yearbooks for schools are not set up to handle small runs of just a few hundred yearbooks. As a result, smaller schools either have to pay a huge premium for their yearbooks or do without. However, there is now a new option for creating yearbooks that is far more reasonable for small and medium sized high schools.
