This is the true integration of man and machine," says Eythor Bender, CEO of Ekso Bionics, a Californian research lab that has developed an intelligent "wearable robot". Drag Racing Faces Fundamental Changes Antron Brown in June at the N.H.R.A. SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J. (Auto Imagery, Inc./Associated Press) For as long as anyone can remember, the official length of a professional drag race has been a quarter of a mile, or 1,320 feet (though eighth-mile tracks exist as well).
SNAP Tutorial Microsoft Word 2013 Help Guide These SNAP Tutorial Notes are from Sections 1 & 2 of Word 2013. This is a step-by-step instruction on a vast majority of the tutorials from SNAP. Since the program is not very consistent on what the end-user should be doing for the test, I wanted to make a reference guide. There are no images here though, only steps that I took in the tutorial to complete them.
Dream of making artificial body parts becoming a reality It sounds like a sci-fi movie – doctors growing body parts to cure our ills. But thanks to incredible breakthroughs, bionic repairs for humans are fast becoming a reality. Experts yesterday revealed they are perfecting “off the shelf” blood vessels, which could revolutionise treatment of heart attacks and strokes. If the Cambridge University blood vessel team is successful, patients could be spared major operations. The test tube vessels may also treat kidney dialysis patients and repair injuries.
Competition Plus - Drag Racing Magazine - FEEDBACK FRIDAY - VANDERGRIFF: "WE'VE DIVERTED FROM THE REAL REASON FOR 1,000 FEET" I agree 100% with Bob Vandergriff about racing 1000 feet. Upgrade the problem tracks and let’s get back to quarter mile racing! Lets just hope we have drag racing in 2009 with all this financial woe. How to read EPUB books on your Kindle Amazon’s Kindle is probably the most popular ereader out there, but it doesn’t support the EPub format. Here’s how to convert your collection of books in the EPub format, maybe from Google Books, eBooks.com , AbeBooks, or another online collection, so that you can read those EPub files on your Kindle. They will appear on your book menu and can be read just like any other Kindle ebook. Yes, you can read an ePub book on your Amazon Kindle, but not in EPub format, you must convert it first.
Electronic Tattoo-Like Devices Monitor Brain, Heart and Muscles We might one day be able to monitor our bodies' internal functions — and prevent things like epileptic seizures before they happen — using a flexible circuit attached to the surface of skin. The National Science Foundation announced Monday that researchers are working on a prototype tattoo-like device that can detect heart, muscle and brain activity. Tiny curly wires in a flexible membrane make up these devices and work better than conventional hard, brittle circuits, because body tissue itself is soft and pliable. "We're trying to bridge that gap, from silicon, wafer-based electronics to biological, 'tissue-like' electronics, to really blur the distinction between electronics and the body," said materials scientist John Rogers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. "As the skin moves and deforms, the circuit can follow those deformations in a completely noninvasive way." SEE ALSO: Artificial Super-Skin Could Transform Phones, Robots and Artificial Limbs
NHRA By NHRA Communications NHRA Funny Car driver Robert Hight secured his second No. 1 qualifying position of the season and 45th of his career on Saturday with a track-record performance, and he will try for his third straight victory of the season on Sunday at the AAA Texas NHRA FallNationals at Texas Motorplex. Hight and his Auto Club Ford Mustang climbed to the top of the class with an impressive second round showing of 4.052 seconds at 311.85 mph. The red-hot Hight, who broke the elapsed time track record with the run, will open eliminations against two-time event winner Del Worsham.
