If you or your business would be interesting in sponsoring the FIRST robotics teams involved with this project and making future projects possible, please contact us. Disclaimer: DIY Segways, like any large machines, can be hazardous if appropriate safety precautions are not observed.

The DIY Segway made a trip out to Wayland HS, where it was put to the test by some of the designers, who also happen to be the more experienced riders.

Jargon translation for research papers. Intercontinental Challenge. Crash-Free Commutes. By KATHY KOWALENKO 6 January 2012 If an airplane crashed every other day in the United States, killing all 180 people on board, it wouldn’t take long for most Americans to stop flying, right?

But that’s about the average number of daily fatalities in the United States due to car accidents, and we continue to drive fearlessly. There are about 33 000 traffic deaths annually in the United States and 39 000 in European Union countries. Ninety percent of roadway deaths could be avoided simply by making cars smarter, according to Alberto Broggi and Azim Eskandarian of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS).

Their solution: Get rid of the drivers and let the cars drive themselves. That is not as farfetched as it might seem. Driverless vehicles were one of the safety innovations discussed during the ITSS annual conference, held in October in Washington, D.C. Each vehicle also carried three computers.

RE<C - A Google.org Project to Develop Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources. Our approach to RE<C Through RE<C, we made several investments in companies working on potentially breakthrough technologies. For instance, we invested in companies like Brightsource Energy and eSolar to help expand their work on concentrating solar power technology, and in Potter Drilling to advance its innovative geothermal drilling technology.

And we've also sponsored research to develop the most state of the art Geothermal Map of the US, helping better understand the potential for geothermal energy to provide renewable power that’s always available. And we’ve had an engineering team working to improve a type of concentrating solar power technology called the solar power tower. The solar power tower is an exciting technology that works by using a field of mirrors, called heliostats, to concentrate the sun’s rays onto a solar receiver on top of a tower. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of progress in clean energy. Computers & Accessories for Sale. Roberto (2) - Google Wave. As we announced in August 2010, we are not continuing active development of Google Wave as a stand-alone product.

Google Wave will be shut down in April 2012. This page details the implication of the turn down process for Google Wave. Stage 1: Google Wave is read-only -- January 31, 2012 In this stage, you will no longer be able to create or edit waves. Marking a wave as read will also not be saved. Robots that try to write to a wave will stop functioning. During this time, you will continue to be able to export your waves using the existing PDF export feature.

If you want to continue using Wave, there is an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature to import all your waves from Google. Home. Motion Analyzer Software. Total Immersion - November.
