'Instagram for doctors' lets medics share photos to solve mystery cases
Doctors always have the desire to share the unknown, or complex. Last year, Shipes began using Figure 1, which is a photo sharing app. In this app, doctors would share photographs and information about their patients for learning and it is available in 19 countries. Landy, a medic, believes that this app will seek external opinions when treating a variety of patients. It was launched in May 2013; Figure-1 enables users to take an image, remove any identifying information, and upload the image for feedback from the community of healthcare users accessing the app. In the summer of 2014, there were 150, 000 users, and the number is expected to be higher today with images in the library being viewed on average about 1.5 million times a day.
The U.S Navy is looking for new technology that will help fire at sea. They have come to a conclusion that they should a send a fire resistant robot through smoky fire-stricken warships. This robot will have access to damage with a camera that can see through smoke. This robotic firefighter is called Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot (SAFFiR). The team at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) chose a humanoid-type robot as the best way of negotiating the narrow passageways, ladders and hatches (all designed for human mobility) of a modern ship. SAFFiR is 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 143 pounds. The team equipped the robot with a suite of sensors that include a camera, a gas sensor and a stereo infrared camera that will allow it to find its way through the choking black smoke that would prevent human firefighters.
This year I am taking English II which is one of my favorite classes. My English teacher is Mrs. Wallach. She is really funny, outgoing and makes everyone laugh. She knows how to grab everyone's attention even if the topic is really boring. She makes it really interesting and doesn't make it sound boring anymore. When class first started, I thought that it was going to be boring but Mrs. Wallach knows how to get the class going and knows how to captivate everyone's attention. Right now we are learning about feminism, which means that women should have the rights to have equality to men. As my teacher's grading policy, she makes us do a seminar that involves the class to contribute and ask questions about the book that we are reading at that moment. You get a grade based on your answer, how much you spoke, and whether you contributed in the seminar or not. We once had a seminar about the book "Of Mice and Men". And for homework, she briefly looks at the homework that we do; however, when we do journals, she would grade it on the day we hand it in. in this class, I like it when we read out loud and discuss about the book. And i also like it when she would ask us some stereotypical questions and asks for our opinions. For example, is a woman's place in the house, the kitchen? Technology is used in our class for our projects. For example, we used the computers for our farm project and our video for "A Rose for Emily". For our farm project we had to research how much our farm would be and the cost for the animals. Our video project was about the short story "A Rose for Emily", we used our phones and imported the videos to my friend's Macbook pro. We edited the video for THREE HOURS!!! Our video came out great and funny. And in class, we saw everyone's videos and they were really FUNNY!!! What I like about Mrs. Wallach's class is that we can actually talk about topics that we like and she knows how to make any situation funny and interesting.
Disney invents an adorable robot for making giant sand drawings
Disney's latest invention, or electromechanical project, is called BeachBot. It is 2 feet long and 15 inches wide and tall. This robot can draw images from "The Lion King" to "Finding Nemo" in under 10 minutes. It creates a variety of brush strokes that range from two to 15 inches wide. However, BeachBot does have some limitations. The fine motor controls of BeachBot does not work well sand and salty surf. RTo prevent this, they have to build rubberized seals into the design to protect the sensitive internal workings from the elements (extar care is required in maintenance).
Hey guys, welcome to my blog! My name is Kim and my favorite colors are pink, blue, and purple. I also like spending time with my family and friends, especially on my favorite holiday, Christmas!!!! I have a little sister and everyone says that we are like twins, But i don't see it. My favorite sport is volleyball because it is a lot of fun and I can spend time with my friends. My favorite food is waffles and berries because it is so delicious. Now what I don't like are bugs such as spiders, cockroaches, and centipedes. When I grow up, I hope to become a nurse or a dentist because I have always thought that the medical field was so interesting to me.
This article talks about the importance of copyrighting information off of the internet. Although plagiarizing is bad, there is a way that people can use the context. Such as using it for educational purposes. The cool thing that I just found out was that any of your work is copyrighted immediately and you don't have to fill out any paperwork!
Ray, the robot valet, is now a solution for those who just want to throw there keys at the parking valet. The creator of Ray, automated forklift truck, is Germany's Serva Transport. This aimed for business travelers in a hurry; however, all travelers have to drop their car off at a designated area. It can be controlled on an app and retrieves cars based on flight arrivals data. Furthermore, you can go to a nearby touch screen to confirm the car is empty and Ray does the rest. It costs $5.50 an hour for parking. Ray uses sensors to measure the car and photograph the car, then gently lifts it off the ground and takes it to one of 249 parking spots reserved for the robot, Ray.
