The name of this man is Grant Thompson, who had a 13-year old Toshiba 50-inch flat screen TV and nothing to do with it. Of course you cannot watch High Definition videos on such an old version television which might not be working properly at this period. Well then the man named Thompson converted it into a solar-powered death ray, that is

Thompson took the TV and splintered it and ripped through layer after layer until he reached the plastic sheet that he calls a “giant virgin Fresnel lens.” By hoisting them on a wooden frame, he managed to make it focus the sun’s ray’s in a miniscule point (like a magnifying glass). That spot reached 2,000 degree Fahrenheit; this elevated temperature allows him to do whatever we have written on the first paragraph. We shall recommend you watching the video on youtube.

This is real progress, real hope for amputees. It will be the first prosthetic that will provide real-time sensory feedback for grasping. It is clear that the more sensory feeling an amputee has, the more likely you will get full acceptance of that limb. We could be on the cusp of providing new and more effective clinical solutions to amputees in the next year.

The idea would be that it could deliver two or more sensations. You could have a pinch and receive information from three fingers, or feel movement in the hand and wrist. We have refined the interface [connecting the hand to the patient], so we hope to see much more detailed movement and control of the hand.

Another problem is to somehow hide the wiring which would connect the hand to make it less conspicuous. At present it will be attached on the skin, but further improvements to the coming models may somehow enable to hand to be connected to the patients nerves form beneath the skin.

The novel ship will be created by CSC Jinling Shipyard, and will be operated by Palmer’s Blue Star Line (a parallel to the original Titanic’s White Star Line). The new ship will house approximately 2,600 passengers along with 900 crew members. The ship features 18 motor powered lifeboats competent enough of carrying 150 people each, as well as two life rafts that can bear 400 people. The calculations confirm that in case of a mishap the life boats will be enough of carrying 2,600 personals. The main flaw in the original Titanic was the shortage of life boats on the ship which led to a distasteful disaster and claimed 1,500 lives along with the engineer team.

The new Titanic is very much similar to the original Titanic in aesthetics and interior decorations, including Turkish baths, a grand staircase, etc. The new Titanic 2 is going to be 3 inches longer than the original one, also it hold many modern upgrades, including the air conditioning system.

Mr Orfield of Orfield Laboratories explained, “When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating: sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. In the anechnoic chamber, you become the sound. How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance the maneuver. If you are in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.”

The longest a person has been able to sit in the room is 45 minutes. Sitting in the room for too long makes you have hallucinations. A number of companies use this room to test the sound of different products such as the sound of the display of a cellphone, Harley-Davidson used it for making their bikes less noisy without losing the Harley sound and NASA used this room to test their astronaut’s mental capacity to withstand vacuum before hallucinations kick in.

Three University of Leicester physics students have recently published a paper named “Doing whatever a spider can” in which they tried to ascertain the physical aspect of the stunt. With all the data it became easy to evaluate the Young’s Modulus (measure of elasticity) and material toughness which comes out to be 3.12 GPa and 500 MJ per cubic meter.

A normal orb-weaver spider weaves a web upto 12 GPa Young’s Modulus. While the toughness of Kevlar (the material used in bulletproof vests) is 33 MJ per cubic meter. The toughest spider slik is that of Darwin’s bark spider, in Madagascar, which measures up to 520 MJ per cubic meter.

With the data available, it is possible for a person with extra tough silk web to make it sustain the load of a fast moving train provided that they get a place to anchor their web from.

The name is “systemic” computer, the self-repairing machine given to the computer which is now operational at University College London (UCL). The system permits the drones, robots and war machines to reprogram themselves in order to adapt the changing situations of the battlefield.  The machine also helps to develop more and more realistic models which will demonstrate the working of human brain more effectively.

Now days the computer systems being developed are not properly suited to the modeling and simulation problems.  UCL computer scientist says, “Its processes are distributed, decentralised and probabilistic. And they are fault tolerant, able to heal them. A computer should be able to do that.”

There are various different systems of the computer each of which has its own individual memory containing context-sensitive data that means it can only cooperate with other, similar systems. The computer utilizes pseudorandom number generator inorder to execute the systems this rather than using a program counter. This has been designed to mimic nature’s haphazardness.  Every individual system carry out their task and all of these systems work at same level of precedence.

Bentley says “The pool of systems interacts in parallel, and randomly, and the result of a computation simply emerges from those interactions.”

The product was in its developmental stages from many years and the company is now able to produce the working prototype of transparent smartphone in year 2013. The product is made from Polytron’s Polyvision Privacy Glass. The glass is impervious when the cell phone is powered off, but its appearance transforms when electricity is applied. According to Polytron’s website, “the liquid crystal molecules line up, the incident light passes through, and Polyvision looks clear.”

The glass is not totally transparent because the battery and SIM card remain visible even when the cell phone powered up. The otherwise translucent concept design, with its dual-sided, multi-touch display, currently runs no operating system — it’s just hardware. Sam Yu, Polytron’s general manager, told Macworld, however, that “All handset makers are looking to work with us. The technology is mature.” Mashable

Mobile Geeks reported that the company of Taiwan, Polytron is going to develop only limited number of smart phones with such technology by the end of this year. This is one invisible hand set you will soon witness to be produced in the coming years if this prototype smartphone attracted massive positive response. Many smartphone companies are working on the same technology lets see who is going to win the race for the transparent screen competition.

Pakistan to build world’s tallest building in the capital of state of Sindh, Karachi. UAE’s Abu Dhabi Group and Pakistani real estate industrialist Malik Riaz on Friday has signed a contract to capitalize $45 billion (Dh165.15 billion) in Pakistan including building the world’s tallest building in Karachi.

The news channel of Pakistan named GEO reported a few days ago that 35 billion USD will be pushed to the state of Sindh whereas rest of the budget will be applied on development projects of Lahore and Islamabad. Under the deal, Sports City, International City, Media City, Educational and Medical City will be built in Pakistan’s financial capital. The news channel said that world’s Seven Wonders will also be built as part of the project. This mega project has expected to produce nearly 2.5 million jobs in Pakistan.

This mega project will mark the first and biggest investment ever made in this country. The Abu Dhabi Group has previously completed many projects in past for Pakistan some of these includes the establishment of Bank Alfalah, Warid Telecom and Wateen Telecom.

As reported by the news channels the project includes the construction of the tallest building of the world, taller than Burj Khalifa, Dubai, in Karachi. The project also includes the construction of small of Seven Wonders of the World. These projects promises to boost the economy of Pakistan and will house the jobs for nearly 2.5 million people and will employ more than 55 industries like cement, bricks, iron, steel and glass. However there is still no starting and completion dates, yet announced.

The blame was put to the company of Coca-Cola, but the company refused to accept the blame disagreed that it could not be explained that the death of Natasha Harris was due to their coke intake. The investigation sessions conducted by the city reporters suggest that the woman was highly addicted toward Coca-Cola and acts in a very similar way as an addict of marijuana if she gets void of her proper dose. Her heart rate gets unpredictable if she couldn’t get Coca-Cola.

The Argus II by Second Sight possesses two parts an artificial retina with fixed electrodes that’s surgically fixed into the eye and a pair of glasses equipped with a camera and visual processor. The functioning of Argus II can be explained by the utility of two parts of the Argus II. The video camera captures surrounding scenes and sends the captured video to the processor which then transmits the feed to the bionic eye thus permitting the patient to visualize, what he was unable before wearing the Argus II. That said, the Argus II doesn’t bring back absolute vision and only allows people to see just adequate light to help them move around. It’s just like you are watching a Television on a screen of only 60 pixels.

Now let’s come to the price listing of this bionic eye by Second Sights, as we all expect such kinds of technologies are not cheap similarly Argus II comes up to our expectations it roughly costs $150,000 which doesn’t include the surgery and training, according to The New York Times. The product will be available at seven hospitals in five states including California, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.  This is one great achievement in the field of science towards curing blindness.
