Conductor paths in sensor systems have to be correctly ‘wired’. Now, instead of using obtrusive connecting wires, researchers print the conductor paths. The connections thus produced are thinner, and the sensor delivers more accurate measurements.

New Method for Rendering Particles Outlined

Tomb Raider: Anniversary coder Mike Krazanowski has outlined a new method for rendering particles using pixel shaders and a little bit of math. "Although this method has been employed in games for many years, this article defines a method using shader technology to more physically represent these volumetric particles. This method will give a more accurate visual representation of the simulated volumes as well as potentially decreasing the necessary number of particles, which in turn will help to improve render performance. It should first be stated that the method defined in this article is limited to particles that represent volumes of sub-particles. It is also noted that the analysis that is to follow assumes a uniform density of the particles.

Nanotech Wages War on Infections

Made of pure silver, these particles measure about 10 nm in diameter. We manufacture them in a proprietary solution and then treat the devices we coat in the same solution. SilvaGard-treated surfaces can provide for a programmable duration of antimicrobial efficacy — lasting days, weeks or months. Our patent-pending process basically grows nanotech particles on the surface of medical devices. SilvaGard particles tightly adhere to these surfaces, requiring no intermediate binder layer. Nor do these particles change the mechanical or physical properties of the device to which they are applied.

Our patent-pending process basically grows nanotech particles on the surface of medical devices. SilvaGard particles tightly adhere to these surfaces, requiring no intermediate binder layer. Nor do these particles change the mechanical or physical properties of the device to which they are applied. Why was this new material developed? We started our company about 15 years ago, developing wound-care products, such as gels and dressings that incorporate the antimicrobial p

Silver Nanoparticles May Be Killing Beneficial Bacteria In Wastewater Treatment

Too much of a good thing could be harmful to the environment. For years, scientists have known about silver's ability to kill harmful bacteria and, recently, have used this knowledge to create consumer products containing silver nanoparticles. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has found that silver nanoparticles also may destroy benign bacteria that are used to remove ammonia from wastewater treatment systems.

National study examines health risks of coarse particle pollution

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have conducted the largest nationwide study on the acute health effects of coarse particle pollution. Coarse particles are airborne pollutants that fall between 2.5 and 10 microns in diameter. These particles are larger than fine particles (less than 2.5 microns) and are produced by processes such as mechanical grinding, windblown dust and agriculture. These particles are of interest from both public health and regulatory perspectives.

Sun's Movement Through Milky Way Regularly Sends Comets Hurtling, Coinciding With Mass Life Extinctions

The sun's movement through the Milky Way regularly sends comets hurtling into the inner solar system -- coinciding with mass life extinctions on earth, a new study claims. The study suggests a link between comet bombardment and the movement through the galaxy.

A New Way to Search on eBay: Through Your Favorite Stores

Sometimes I'll be surfing through eBay and feel completely stumped. I'll know I want a cute little bag, but don't know what brand or even, particularly, what color, and typing in "little bag" will garner an overwhelming amount of (often hideous) results. But then today, I was just vine-swinging through the site and realized that a lot of sellers tell you where they bought the item that's for sale. So literally, you can type the name of a store that you like into the Clothing, Shoes, & Accessories section and have your search considerably narrowed down. Here are a couple of stores I played with:

Inkredible Cartridge Launches Online Ink & Toner Store

Customers can now log on and buy their ink and toner cartridges via the web without ever having to leave their home or office.

Model of Image Artifacts From Dust Particles

A mathematical model of image artifacts produced by dust particles on lenses has been derived. Machinevision systems often have to work with camera lenses that become dusty during use. Dust particles on the front surface of a lens produce image artifacts that can potentially affect the performance of a machine-vision algorithm. The present model satisfies a need for a means of synthesizing dust image artifacts for testing machine-vision algorithms for robustness (or the lack thereof) in the presence of dust on lenses.

Tactile Robotic Topographical Mapping Without Force or Contact Sensors

A method of topographical mapping of a local solid surface within the range of motion of a robot arm is based on detection of contact between the surface and the end effector (the fixture or tool at the tip of the robot arm). The method was conceived to enable mapping of local terrain by an exploratory robot on a remote planet, without need to incorporate delicate contact switches, force sensors, a vision system, or other additional, costly hardware. The method could also be used on Earth for determining the size and shape of an unknown surface in the vicinity of a robot, perhaps in an unanticipated situation in which other means of mapping (e.g., stereoscopic imaging or laser scanning with triangulation) are not available.
