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.

Soultion of the Crosswords # 2


Best Online flash game for Engineers # 2

Icebreaker

Vikings are imprisoned in ice (don't know how), you have to save them. How? its simple, break the ice (Please refer to "Break The Ice for Dummies").

Use your mouse to slash through ice and make sure the vikings fall in their boat. This game is physics based and don't forget the ice is frictionless.

Crosswords # 2




ACROSS:
1 the reciprocal of the impedance of an electric circuit.
3 a device that opens or closes a contact when energized.
4 the act of turning a timecontinuous signal into a signal that is timediscrete or time-discontinuous.
5 prefix for metric unit that indicates division by one billion.


.
DOWN:
2 a controllable four-layer (pnpn) power semiconductor switching device that can only be on or off, with no intermediate operating states like transistors
6 103
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

Nice Photography!


Best Online flash game for Engineers # 1


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.
