This PancakeBot, Pancake Maker Machine Made of LEGO.

Who is not familiar with a plastic blocks that can be made into a variety of forms. Yup very true, LEGO is a plaything or a chunk of plastic pieces which is very famous in this world are very familiar with children and adolescents, both male and female.










LEGO began in a wooden craft in Denmark in 1916, is now a game that a lot of inspiring and proven to increase creativity by playing LEGO requires imagination and thinking power of the players.

And the following is a form of innovation that is very interesting and tasty of course, is a genius by the name of Miguel Valenzuela, an American living in Hokksund, Norway is making a PancakeBot, which is a simple pancake making machine that is mostly made of LEGO blocks and some engine enhancements.

As I quoted through Makezine, Miguel said that he was inspired by their two daughters and the device takes about nine months to be completed perfectly. And now Miguel has just launched a campaign on Indiegogo PancakeBot his inventions and bring them to an event at the 2013 Maker Faire Bay Area in May.

Billions of Year Again, Alien'll Find It Photographs on Satellite.

There is a unique project which is being produced by Trevor Paglen. He was named as The Last Pictures. Here he will choose 100 images depicting human life, save in the satellite, then flew out the space.









The goal?

Billions of years from now, if humans disappeared off the face of the earth, the satellite will remain in orbit in space. Therein will remain the photographs show that no man ever lived on this earth. Be evidence that there was once a real life on earth.

If billions of years after humans disappear, no new life again. Whether it's a new man, or beings from another planet (aliens), he hopes one day discovered satellites and a proof of the existence of human beings.

The challenge

To realize this project, there are some pretty tough challenges. First, the problem of a photo. Of the many photos of human life, they should be able to select the 100 photos that depict the life of human beings. It was not easy. The issue is a photo submitted to Anya Ventura. He must choose from 10,000 to 500 to see 100 pictures selected.

Second, the material image. It would be very difficult to find photo material can last up to billions of years. MIT Professor Brian Wardle, said that the movement of molecules slowly in time billions of years will make the picture loses sharpness.

But it can be overcome by using a single material, namely silicon. Photos will be engraved with nano technology in silicon, then covered with a gold-plated aluminum. That way the photos can last up to billions of years.

Record Video from Above Heaven by Android Smartphone

With the growing technological sophistication 'craze', it seems there is no work that can not be done with a smartphone. In fact, if you want to make a video that was taken from the air maybe you can do it from the Android smartphone.



In a video uploaded on Youtube under the name "Always inovating MeCam", it seems the little helicopter that is controlled by an Android smartphone application called MeCam.

MeCam can run on Android smarthphone equipped Cortex A-9 processor with 1GB of RAM, micro SD for storage media, and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Used mini choppers made ​​with precise calculations to keep the device in flight.

As in the video, streaming video MeCam can connect with Android smartphone and if you like, you can publish in any social networking preferred.

Astronomers Japanese Find TwoGiant Planet

TOKYO - Astronomers Norio Narita National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) discovered two giant planets and one star in a planetary system HAT-P-7.



In redorbit pages (25/1) said astronomers using the Subaru telescope to find the first evidence of the orbits of extrasolar planets were detected in 2008. They tried to explain the object of HAT-P-7b, which is located about 1040 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

They then took the imaging system with high-contrast instrument Subaru telescope latest generation adaptive optics (HiCIAO) to reveal a more complete picture of the object.

From measurements of the motion of objects during the three years up to 2012, they confirmed that one of the two candidate objects is the companion star HAT-P-7, known as HAT-P-7B.

On the other hand confirmation of the existence of giant planets orbiting other co-star, HAT-P-7 c which is outside or retrograde planet HAT-P-7b. It offers new insights into how the formation of the planets.

The team managed to confirm the long-term radial velocity of the system that shows the existence of the other giant planets, HAT-P-7 c, orbits between the orbits of HAT-P-7b and HAT-P-7B.

They believe that the existence of new stars and the outer planets may play an important role in shaping and maintaining the retrograde orbit of the innermost planet through the Kozai mechanism.

When a planet orbits tend to be pretty, HAT-P-7c changing inner planets orbit through Kozai mechanism, thus being backward. The evolution of the orbit of this planet is one scenario that could explain the origin of planetary retrograde / tilt / eccentric. (esy / JPNN)

This Man Managed to Make Transformer Robot in Small Size Comes True

Remember the movie Transformer? Or are you really a movie maniac robots that can change shape, the movie displays about robots from the planet Ciber tron. that has the ability to be transformed into cars, trucks, guns, tanks or aircraft.

Along with the development of Robotic technology is currently growing, it allows the development process of transformation of a toy robot to car and vice verse, and it can already be done but still in small scale, by BRAVE ROBOTICS originating from Japan.



Here you can see a display of photos and a robot car that is "Robot" is the same but has the ability to transform from one form to another. The brain behind all this sophisticated mini robot is Kenji Ishida, a great hobby with Robot and have managed to do so after his business for more than 10 years where he started the first leg of the transformation of a robot alone in 2002.

Kenji Ishida is still not stopped being able to make full-sized robot that can transform into a car that can be driven by artificial intelligence in 2030.

Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets

Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets (ASTEP) is a program established by NASA to sponsor research projects that advance the technology and techniques used in planetary exploration. The objective is to enable the study of astrobiology and to aid the planning of extraterrestrial exploration missions while prioritizing science, technology, and field campaigns.



Overview

ASTEP is one of four elements of NASA’s Astrobiology Program, which falls under the Planetary Science Division of the Science Mission Directorate. According to the formal description from NASA, “The ASTEP program sponsors the development of technologies that enable remote searches for, and identification of life in extreme environments, including planetary surfaces and subsurfaces. ASTEP is concerned with discovering technologies which will enable scientists to study astrobiology both on the surface of the Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies. A central focus of ASTEP’s research is terrestrial field campaigns, or long-duration expeditions where researchers live in the same region they are studying. These are conducted on Earth in remote or hostile locations, such as Antarctica or the bottom of the ocean. Through understanding complex and exotic life on Earth, scientists hope to better define the characteristics they should look for and the locations they should seek when attempting to discover extraterrestrial life

Methodology

ASTEP funded projects typically perform research by searching for and studying extremophile biology in Earth’s harshest environments through the use of field research campaigns. The environments where this research is conducted is meant to simulate the expected conditions on extraterrestrial worlds in our solar system. Past field work has typically targeted two regions. Arctic and Antarctic climates simulate the low temperatures expected on many other planets such as Mars, near rover landing sites. Underwater regions are also an area of study because they simulate high pressure, low light and variable temperature conditions. This region simulates proposed missions to explore the vast liquid water ocean that is expected to reside under Jupiter’s moon, Europa.

ASTEP promotes the development of new exploration technologies and techniques that can search, identify, and study life in extreme conditions in locations that are difficult to access. There is a broad range of things that can fall into this category. Previous examples include laboratories such as the Mars Science Laboratory, sampling techniques, the Mars rovers, the Titan lander, and submersibles. Autonomous systems are preferred because data can be collected without the presence of humans near the test area. The field campaigns are used as a proof-of-concept for the proposed technologies as well as a demonstration. They are generally tested with mock-mission where conditions and challenges simulate those that might be experienced on an actual mission. This helps identify their strengths and weaknesses in the technology’s mission execution and structural endurance.

Beyond the practice of new technologies, ASTEP strives to learn more about astrobiology through observation and study on the field campaigns. Analyzing the collected samples helps researchers determine the thermal, photonic, pressure, and chemical boundary conditions for living organisms. Understanding how these organisms adapt and evolve in these extreme conditions may be similar to the methods used by extraterrestrial biology, and thus offers clues about where life may be found. Another area of study is the environmental footprint that extremophile life leaves behind, such as chemical trails, geological formations, etc. Identifying these clues often inspires new biology searching techniques, and simplifies mission planning.

Tobii Gaze - Operate Computers Through Eye View

Since the rise of the modern computer revolution, a mouse is a device that is practical and efficient enough for users to operate a computer. But announcing you that there is already the latest technology that allows you to operate the computer with the eye alone.



Is a technology called Tobii Gaze, with the help of this technology for computer users will no longer need a mouse to direct the pointer to a particular application or run the application.

Technology from Tobii Gaze is equipped with a camera that can detect eye movements of the user computer, so it means a computer equipped by this technology will be able to know where the direction of the user's eye gaze computer.

Tobii Gaze parties claimed that they made this system is still not perfect. For example, when users want to perform zooming, it is still quite difficult to do, and users should be assisted by using the scroll button on the mouse contained. In addition, when computer users inadvertently turned a certain direction, there is the possibility of running applications on the screen will be covered by accident.

This Tent World's First Space

Whether you're a very adventurous type hobby with camping activities, someday maybe you can consider doing the activity outside of Space.



In May, four people were recorded as The Vangonauts illustrated, four dolls that will act as a passenger and was launched into space with a tent manufactured by AirBeam.

As quoted by orange.co.uk, which aims to realize the mission of "democratizing space tourism" that the experiment this time they managed to reach a height of 104,000 feet or a height of more than three and a half times the height of Mount Everest.

According to data from the mission control of land located in the Scottish Highlands, tents or Vangotents are launched using a weather balloon was initially moved southeast before turning northeast.

Mobile Radiation Produces Negative Effects on Spinach

In recent years, many researchers believe that mobile phone radiation has a negative impact on humans, especially children. However, it is still getting a lot of opposition. And, things are different only recently discovered by researchers from Gujarat, India.



The researchers said that the radiation generated by a mobile phone has a devastating effect on crops. In their study, the plant in question is spinach. In that study, both plants are planted as usual. Every day was given nutrition and water and has a temperature controlled in the laboratory. At the same time, both types of plants were also exposed to 900 MHz electromagnetic wave with the power of 1.9 milli-tesla for 72 hours.

As a result, there are changes in morphology or structure at the level of development of the plant. As a result of radiation exposure, the number of branches and leaves of the plant is reduced. Not only that, the amount of protein content is also reduced.

Apparently Destroy Software for Email It There!

Have you ever heard of Software destroyer email, it's software does exist you know. A security software company from India called Seclore managed to make the program.

Software made ​​by Seclore This is a tool that serves to create an email that can be destroyed by itself. In other words will email accounts that use this tool can only be viewed by a certain time. After the deadline passed, the email will be deleted automatically from the email recipient's inbox.

Unique Ways Charging Smartphone and Tablet with Rocking Chair

Since the era of old school phone to enter a new phase as the era of smartphones and tablets today, the ritual to charge the battery or power source of the phone are generally the same, using a charger that is connected to an electric current.



But along with the advances in technology today, if you're one of those who want to find a unique electronic device, perhaps you can consider to have a tool called iRocks.

What is iRocks? As I quoted by Softpedia, iRocks this is one electronic device that functions as a mobile phone or tablet charger. Uniquely, this device is also a rocking chair that is generally preferred by parents.
The device developed by Lab Micassa can generate electricity from the movement of the chair wobble.

And by doing this, you can use a bit of environmentally friendly technologies. Because of the energy you use comes from the rocking motion of the rocking chair.Unfortunately, the Lab Micassa not mention the efficiency of this one unique device. Regarding the price, addition iRock also comes also comes with a price tag that is very expensive, even more expensive than the price of a high end smartphone or tablet. To obtain this device, you must provide the sum of $ 1300 USD or approximately IDR - 12.7 Billion

Computers Now Can Recognize Human Figure Sketches Withdrawal!

Ah .. the more sophisticated wrote today's technological world. Recently, researchers from Brown and the Technical University in Berlin have developed a program that can recognize human-drawn sketches. Even the program can recognize sketches drawn in real time!



When I first saw the video, me really amazed with the accuracy of sketch recognition program.

The researchers even had time to compare the ability of this program and the human ability to recognize sketches drawn. The result? The program is able to provide the level of accuracy up to 56%, while men give up to 73% accuracy rate. Pretty good for a program that is still in the development stage.

Currently the program is not ready to be released because it is still confined to recognize 250 categories. Researchers say that the future of this program will be developed in order to learn directly from the data and inputs entered by the user.

It seems like a smart program will be developed into games for smartphones or tablets. Mmmm .. maybe some kind of a guessing game between humans and computers, where do you draw the sketch and the computer will tell you the results of the drawing.

This program makes the computer a smart step to be able to recognize sketches like human beings.

But as the old saying goes "Men Behind the Success .. No Good Woman Behind", as it was also the sophistication of a computer: "Behind the computer / advanced program .. exist researcher / programmer / coder behind terrific".

Kuratas - This is The Advanced Combat Robot Made in Japan

The world is increasingly becoming a real movie alone. If you're a fan of Gundam films or other combat robots, now Japan is really producing advanced combat robot named Kuratas!

Advanced robot leg is equipped with two motors, each providing power at the knee and ankle. With a weight of 4.5 pounds and is controlled by the brain, the robot's legs to cost up to $ 8 million

This Radiation Hazard Wi-fi Network

Is it true that wireless networks Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) can threaten human health?

According to the findings of Panorama (British television program, BBC), the level of radiation emitted by Wi-Fi equipment at a school in Norwich, which has more than a thousand students, higher than the level of radiation emitted from cell phone transmission tower operators generally. Measurements Panorama shows the signal strength Wi-Fi in the classroom was three times stronger than the intensity of radiation from cell phone towers.



Effect of radiation on health, according to Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, who interviewed Panorama, "If you look at the literature, you can find a number of the effects of radiation, such as chromosomal damage, impact on the capacity of concentration and decreased short-term memory, and increased incidence of various types of cancer. "

Another scientist, Dr Gerd Oberfeld of Salzburg, say it's time Wi-Fi removed from schools. "The reason is, if you look at the data, it would seem clear picture, like a puzzle and all the match, from the outbreak of DNA at the level of animal research to epidemiological events, such as increased symptoms and the cancer rate." he added.

Another study carried out by Wageningen University found that trees growing in areas that have Wi-Fi high activity, particularly in residential areas, suffer from symptoms such as bleeding, cracks in the skin, the demise of a certain part of the leaf, as well as abnormal growth. To test whether the cause of the mysterious illness was caused by radiation Wi-Fi, the researchers used 20 of the ash or Fraxinus and provide different levels of radiation on the trees for 3 months.

Apparently, trees are exposed to Wi-Fi signal to show signs of radiation-induced diseases, including colors such as lead in the leaves, indicating that these leaves will soon die. But, unfortunately, unfortunately, to date, there is no solution that can be given to trees due to adverse effects such use WiFi.
