Service dogs have long improved the lives of countless numbers of people, whether by facilitating the day-to-day life of someone who is disabled, participating in search and rescue operations, or lending their unique abilities to enhance safety and security.

Can Wearable Computing lead to “talking” dogs? - Softbinator

However, communication between humans and their canine counterparts is currently limited, and prone to potentially dangerous misunderstanding. What if a dog could “talk” with their handler? What would it say? Providing service animals with the ability to communicate unambiguously with their handlers is certainly life changing, and possibly even life saving. The pilot study designed and evaluated wearable technology by creating 4 different interface designs, in the form of rectangular and oval bite sensors, proximity sensors, a tug sensor, combined with Arduino microcontrollers, integrated into vests worn by three assistance dogs. Wearable technology for dogs may help in situations such as….

Magnum – The first class part awning with BIG ideas. Free-Roaming Planar Motors - Projects - Microdynamic Systems Laboratory. Tom Lauwers, Zack Edmondson, and Ralph Hollis Autonomous planar motors for precision positioning Imagine a mobile robot that could move over arbitrarily large distances in the plane at speeds on the order of a meter per second, yet be able to position itself with sub-micrometer motion resolution.

Further, imagine that this robot is essentially an ideal frictionless mass with a single moving part. We are working to produce such a robot based on the concept of a free-roaming planar motor. Autonomous precision planar robots based on free-roaming planar motors would constitute a new class of mobile robots. Background Bruce Sawyer in 1968 introduced the concept of the planar motor, commonly referred to nowadays as the "Sawyer'' motor.

Contributed By: BAG Editors With a floor area averaging around 6’ x 3’, most bicycle storage sheds are suitable for getting more than just one bike in them. For this reason, if you own multiple bikes or if you have a family that enjoys cycling and you have bikes of all different sizes, a dedicated bike shed may well be the perfect storage solution for all of your bikes in one place. Bicycle sheds are a great solution if you do not have a lot of extra garage storage space and if you don’t have the room – or the need – for a larger shed. Bike sheds are manufactured in three main types of material and this article looks at the pros and cons of each. Wood You can get a wooden bike shed that is similar to the construction of a normal wooden shed, so this will be either overlap or tongue and groove construction.

Metal If wooden bike sheds sound like a little bit too much maintenance is required from you, then you can always look for a powder coated steel version instead.

Furniture. Fireplaces. Jose Hurtados’s Extraordinary Hubless Twist Bike Can be Turned into a Tandem Twist Bike by Jose Hurtado. Apple iPad mini vs Google Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD 7-inch. Rather than take on the mighty iPad, Google and Amazon decided to try a different tactic: they targeted an area Apple wasn't interested in, where tablets would have small screens and even smaller price tags.

Apple iPad mini vs Google Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD 7-inch

The result was the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, tablets that were warmly received by pundits and punters alike. Now, Apple's moving its tanks onto their lawns, and the iPad mini is the smallest, cheapest iPad yet. So how does it compare to its rivals? Let's find out. Apple iPad mini vs Google Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD 7-inch: release date Both the Google Nexus 7 and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD are already on sale. Apple iPad mini vs Google Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD 7-inch: price The Wi-Fi version of the iPad mini starts at £269 (US$329, AU$369) for the 16GB model, rising to £349 (US$429, AU$479) for the 32GB model and £429(US$529, AU$589) for the 64GB.
