Room Acoustics

There are a variety of methods and criteria for the evaluation and design of an acoustic space. Acoustic spaces can have a variety of uses which may or may not share common desired acoustic characteristics. Sound Propagation in a Room Sound waves travel at about 345 meters/second, so that the sound coming directly from a source within a large room will generally reach a listener after a time of anywhere from 0.01 to 0.2 seconds. Shortly after the arrival of the direct sound, a series of semi-distinct reflections from various reflecting surfaces (walls and ceiling) will reach the listener. Direct Sound and Early Reflections Direct sound will decrease by 6 dB for each doubling of propagated distance.

Late Reflections Calculating Reverberation Time Air Absorption Air contributes a substantial amount to the absorption of high frequency sound. The world's first 3d printed twin tip skateboard. Aug.26, 2013 Sam Abbot from the Netherlands, a talented artist who works at a pioneering company of 3D printed designs won the competition hosted by CGTrader and 3D Print UK last month.

He is the winner of the Best 3D Printable Model Portfolio. "Sam Abbott Design has bribed the jury with his objects that are simple, but delicately modeled to the smallest parts. " writes CGTrader. "Abbot won for the most versatile collection and intricate details in all of the 30 models submitted".

Sam Abbot won his prize: a 3D printer and his own modeled Skateboard got printed. 3D Print UK shared the video and photos of the 3D printing process of the Skateboard last week (see below). "It wasn't quite as strait forward as just a print as the board is longer than our build tray, meaning that we had to cut it into 3 sections, joining it together with some connector pins to ensure accuracy and to give it some strength over a simple butt joint.

« La conception à l’ère de l’Internet des Objets » : modèles et principes pour le design de produits aux fonctions augmentées par des applications

On continue notre matinée par le document de soutenance de la thèse de Pierrick Thébault, jeune designer et chercheur. Son sujet de thèse était : « La conception à l’ère de l’Internet des Objets, modèles et principes pour le design de produits aux fonctions augmentées par des applications ». Tout un sujet assez vaste mais terriblement actuel ! Sujet que je vous présente résumé ci-dessous. « L’Internet des Objets, dont la vision et les technologies provoquent la rencontre des mondes physique et numérique, amène aujourd’hui à la création de nouveaux types d’applications permettant d’interopérer les services du World Wide Web avec les produits du quotidien. Amoeba-inspired Self-Organizing Systems. Amoebas (or Amebas as the kids today call them) are interesting little animals that have inspired lots of thought among roboticists on how life interacts with an environment.

Now they've inspired a team of researchers to develop a new self-organizing particle system.

66 job interview questions for data scientists

These are mostly open-ended questions, to assess the technical horizontal knowledge of a senior candidate for a rather high level position, e.g. director. What is the biggest data set that you processed, and how did you process it, what were the results? Tell me two success stories about your analytic or computer science projects? Personality types. ArduSat. ArduSat is an open source, Arduino based Nanosatellite, based on the CubeSat standard.

ArduSat

It contains a set of Arduino boards and sensors. The general public will be allowed to use these Arduinos and sensors for their own creative purposes while they are in space.[1] ArduSat is created by Nanosatisfi LLC, an aerospace company which in the word of Phil Plait[2] has "the goal to democratize access to space" and was founded by 4 graduate students from the International Space University in 2012. ArduSat is the first open source satellite which will provide such open access to the general public to space.[3] Timeline of the project[edit] Aug. 9, 2013 - The International Space Station's Canadarm2 grapples the unpiloted Japanese "Kounotori" H2 Transfer Vehicle-4 (HTV-4) as it approaches the station, carrying ArduSat-1 and ArduSat-X among 3.6 tons of science experiments.
