Use Of Non-Lethal Weapons
Number of Words: 257 / Number of Pages: 1
... won't happen if
weapons such as tasers are used in everyday life. Another problem in our
society is violence such as riots and fights. These things can be
controlled with sticky foam, water cannons, or rubber bullets.
The main reason to choose tasers and new-age weapons over guns, is
the fact that they are non-lethal. Every year about 500 police officers are
killed by guns. This kind of death doesn't need to happen. In 1983, 10,895
people were killed by firearms. In 1973 over 100 innocent children were
killed by guns, and every year that number increases. So, if you would like
these numbers to d ...

... tune
into anything, anywhere, anytime.
The most extraordinary thing about the multimedia boom, is that so many
moguls are spending such vast sums to develop digital technologies, for the
delivering of programs and services which are still largely hypothetical.
So what is behind such grand prophecies? Primarily, two technological
advances known as digitization (including digital compression), and fibre
optics.
Both are indispensable to the high-speed networks that will deliver dynamic
new services to homes and offices. Digitization means translating
information, either video, audio, or text, in ...

The History And Future Of Computers
Number of Words: 953 / Number of Pages: 4
... Leibniz improved the machine
so that with the rearrangement of a few parts it could be used to multiply. The
next logical advance came from Thomas of Colmar in 1890, who produced a machine
that could perform all of the four basic operations, addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division. With the added versatility this device was in
operation up until the First World War.
Thomas of Colmar made the common calculator, but the real start of
computers as they are known today comes from Charles Babbage. Babbage designed
a machine that he called a Difference Engine. It was designed to mak ...

The Internet, Pornography, And Children
Number of Words: 2091 / Number of Pages: 8
... exactly is the Internet? It is a global
network of computers used to transmit all types of data between computers.
Text, numbers, programs, illustrations, photographs, audio, animation, and
video can all be transmitted over the Internet. Contrary to what some
people may think, the Internet is not a single computer nor is it a single
service. The Internet is not owned by or governed by anyone. It exists
solely through the support of the companies and institutions that access it.
Though the Internet seems relatively new, its roots actually start in the
1960s. In 1969, the Department of Defense starte ...

New Eye Tracking Techniques Improve Realism Of Aircraft Simulators
Number of Words: 458 / Number of Pages: 2
... work
was carried out in collaboration with CAE Electronics Ltd. of Montreal with
financial support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada.
Their eye-tracker can record and analyze accurately up to 500 eye
positions per second. The system works by means of capturing and processing
the reflections of a low-level beam o f invisible infra-red light shone
onto the eye.
Multi-element arrays capture the image of the eye and digitize the
information, which is then processed in real time by a fast, dedicated
signal processing unit. The difference in position between the l ...

... and a 16-bit data bus. The original
Apple Macintosh ,released in 1984, had the 8-MHz found at the core of it. It
was also found in the Macintosh Plus, the original Macintosh SE, the Apple
Laser-Writer IISC, and the Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet printer family. The
68000 was very efficient for its time for example it could address 16 megabytes
of memory, that is 16 more times the memory than the Intel 8088 which was found
in the IBM PC. Also the 68000 has a linear addressing architecture which was
better than the 8088's segmented memory architecture because it made making

... of the
procedures help to document the program and make it easier to understand.
Programs are easier to modify. When repeated actions are replaced by one
procedure call, it becomes much easier to modify the code at a later stage, and
also correct any errors. By building up the program in a modular fashion via
procedures it becomes much easier to update and replace sections of the program
at a later date, if all the code for the specific section is in a particular
module.
Programs take less time to compile. Replacing a sequence of statements with
once simple procedure call usually reduces the comp ...

Organic Molecules Challenge

... only a matter of time, hard work, and
some luck before molecular electronics start having a noticeable impact."
Molecular electronics is so named because it uses molecules to act as the
"wires" and "switches" of computer chips. Wires, may someday be replaced by
polymers that conduct electricity, such as polyacetylene and
polyphenylenesulfide. Another candidate might be organometallic compounds such
as porphyrins and phthalocyanines which also conduct electricity. When
crystallized, these flat molecules stack like pancakes, and metal ions in their
centers line up with one another to form a one-dime ...
