Best Online flash game for Engineers # 4

Today I have found a very straight forward game for you pals. Its like completing a circuit for a continuous flow of current from the source to the desired output (like colored LEDs, requiring different voltages with respect to their colors).

It is very addicting game and easy to play... just needs a wider sense to solve. These (<-- and -->)images show the level 10 of the game and its solution...

Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)

Driving alone and need a companion? Well thanks to Artificial Intelligence and MIT researchers, you can buy one and put it on your car's dashboard. This is not just any bouncy head decoration, its a high tech robot that can learn and interact. Its a personal assistant that will first learn and observe the driver's personality and his destinations. Next it offers suggestions accordingly. AIDA can observe driver's mood from his/her facial expressions and interact in a very social and informative manner. Smiling or blinking eyes are a couple of examples. 

The system builds its own understanding of the city, integrating real-time event data regarding the environmental conditions, along with commercial activity, different tourist attractions, and uptown areas. AIDA can also  give its own suggestions about driving skills and help to get more efficient drive. It makes the drive safer by preventing the driver from dizziness.

Hey friends, I have just found an other awesome game that will heat up your brains a little bit. Its brainy, technical and of course funny. Here have a look...

As the name suggests, you have to navigate the robots by providing them with line of motion. The mission is to collect gears and return to blue marker. The bots will move on the given track continuously, so be careful as you will encounter the guard bots and hurdles.The fun part will begin when you are going to control more than one robot...

Extraordinary CCTV Camera

 

Can there be a CCTV camera which can not only scan but identify 36 million faces in just a second? The answer is yes!

Japan has invented such a camera which can recognize each and every face that lies in its sight. Its a biometric facial - recognition camera that records details of every person that passes in front of its lens. It can store a whole library of faces and pick out and recognize any face from a huge crowd. Hitachi Kokusai Electric are the inventors of this marvelous technology.

Its going to be a breakthrough in present surveillance technologies. Security law enforcement agencies can use it to identify any wanted person and it will be available for general consumers pretty soon.

7 A transmission line formed by two concentric conductors separated by a dielectric designed to confine the fields and their energy in the medium between said conductors. It is often used in applications where signal interference between the cable and itssurrounds must be kept to a minimum.

Choose your own dream!

Hell folks, I just came across this outstanding technology. Its a phone App that let you choose a dream. Soundscape actually effects user mind when they are asleep. User can walk in beautiful gardens, drive in busy traffic or start an adventurous hiking. Even the track for hiking can be selected through this App.

Dream:ON user can create and simulate an entire world in there dreams. This program was produced by Prof. Richard Wireman. He talks bout his program saying that people suffering from depression and anxiety can use this program to get dramatic results.

This app can be used by placing your i-phone near your pillow upside down and choosing a right dream. Later phone will detect the time when the user is asleep and started having a dream through motion sensors. Most interesting thing is that the app is freeware

Working really hard for hours? Are you stuck in something and cannot come out with a solution? Unable to solve simple math problems which you have solved hundreds of time?
This points to only one thing, YOU NEED A BREAK!!!
Games are a good source of entertainment and relaxation. Most of the times you don't want to leave your workstation, so all you need is an internet connection and a good source of mini flash games. There is a huge collection of games available on internet divided into a lot of categories. But being an engineer, you should have "standards". Fun with mental exercise, that's what engineers want.
So fellows, following is one of my favorite games which is entertaining, challenging, addicting(be careful, don't forget you have work to do) and of course a lot of fun to play.

sugar, sugar

This is a very nice game. Can you see the 'coma' in between "sugar, sugar"? This is the point from which grains of sugar fall freely. All you have to do is, design a path to put 100 grains in each cup provided, fulfilling the given conditions

 

 

Startram ... the SPACE Train!

A train design is now complete which can transport from earth to space. This will be implemented within next 20 years. This train will be capable to transport 4 million passengers through out the year.

The inventor of the 'magnetic levitation train' is among the designers of this project. The cost of the implementation of this project is about $20 billion. The source of fuel of this tram will be solar power which will readily lower the cost of transportation.

It will be a break through in space travel and asteroid mining. A whole industrial network will work in space and will provide us great amounts of resources. If earth faces any catastrophe, this system let the human race to live in space. It will be a giant leap for technology and our transportation system.   

Total amount of weight which this tram can carry is 0.1 million kg at a cost of $40 per kg.  It can achieve 5 miles / sec of speed. The whole system will work on electromagnetism.
