Written by Mirna, Ljubljana, 2023
Apple is again at the forefront of technological innovation, this time with their groundbreaking Apple Vision Pro. This highly anticipated VR and AR device promises to redefine how we perceive and interact with digital content.
Join our exploration of the most promising features of Apple's Vision Pro, and find out the benefits of being the first in the market with this cutting-edge technology.
Can the case of Apple Vision Pro bring strategic advantage to Apple as being first to market? Apple promotes itself as an industry leader and sets the standard for future developments by introducing Vision Pro as one of the first gadgets in the VR And AR technology market. Early adopters get a competitive advantage by having exclusive access to cutting-edge features and the chance to determine the future of VR and AR applications.
But they are technically , not the first to enter the smart glasses market. At the end of 2020, Meta (formerly Facebook) started selling virtual reality glasses Meta Quest 2, for much less. Despite its low price, it is equipped with very high-quality screens. And just a few days before the big Apple’s launch they revealed a release date for their next major headset - Quest 3.
Source: Morning Brew
So with two “Big Player” headset releases this year, we are asking - what will each one bring to the table?
It's hard to compare the two devices with such different prices and overall purpose, but several key differences emerge when we compare the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 devices.
Tech optimists have predicted that Apple’s new technology has the potential to make screens redundant. Our team researched every bit of WWDC 2023 and handpicked the features of the Apple Vision Pro that we admire the most.
What did Apple’s biggest launch in years bring, and what can the most talked-about tech product of 2023 even do?
The one noticeable downside the Vison Pro headset has, for now, is its short battery life. The device can stay running unplugged for only 2 hours, as it is designed to be used while connected to a power source.
Developers interested in diving into the world of Vision OS have a fantastic opportunity to use Apple's strong platform and unleash their creativity. Apple delivers a full set of tools and resources with Vision OS, allowing developers to begin creating novel and immersive experiences.
Apple’s website is quite helpful for a start, as it provides instructions, tutorials, and even code samples! From complex computer vision frameworks to strong APIs, Vision OS enables developers to create cutting-edge applications that use the possibilities of augmented reality and machine learning. VisionOS is built to support familiar frameworks like SwiftUI, UIKit, RealityKit, and ARKit. And the tools you’ll need to grab on are Xcode, Reality Composer Pro, and Unity. Apple will provide direct support to anyone working with them to develop visionOS apps and games. You will get the opportunity to attend a Vision Pro developer lab when Apple Vision Pro is available to customers.
“It was like bringing together all of the work we've built over many years.” ~ Karim Morsy, CEO and co-founder of Algoriddim (talking about developing for visionOS)
Developing solutions on visionOS starts with building blocks of spatial computing. It is expected that hundreds of thousands of iPhone apps will run on visionOS as a result of working with Unity. You can already apply to be selected for Unity’s beta program for visions, where you can develop your solution with the help of their sample apps and templates.
While the hype around the metaverse has subsided a bit since 2021, Meta's and Apple's headsets prove that tech companies are still investing big funds in constructing virtual worlds and believe they will help us in the future.
Apple Vision Pro represents a significant leap forward in the realm of VR and AR technology. With its revolutionary features and being one of the first to market, Apple solidifies its position as an industry leader and sets the standard for future innovations. As Vision Pro opens up new possibilities across various sectors, the impact on gaming, education, and enterprise solutions is set to be transformative. Embrace the future of immersive experiences with Apple Vision Pro.


Augmented Reality – from Ice Cream to the Production Line
According to a study by the University of Washington, a full 65% of children have one or more imaginary friends. But that’s nothing compared to all the people out there chasing imaginary animals down real streets, or waiting with some help from their phone to give their ice cream just the right consistency. Augmented Reality (AR) is no longer just a figment of our imagination. And although it’s still currently most often used by game makers and advertisers, it’s now time to stop playing around and teach AR to work. Because we’re entering the age of imaginary co-workers who are constantly there to provide advice and aid while never complaining about anyone… including us.
The first words in the story of augmented reality were written in the late 1960s, but only today has reality enriched with computer-created elements become prominent. Just like with other technological inventions, the world had to wait for the arrival of affordable technologies that could support the original concept. Today, ordinary smartphones and tablets are ready to handle augmented reality.
The USA and China Lead the Way in the Implementation
According to research performed by Capgemini in 2018 among over 700 companies, more than half of the companies out there will be working to implement augmented reality during the next three years. In automotive, some say that it should become an absolute standard. The worldwide leaders in AR implementation are the USA, followed by China, France and Germany.
Boeing has made use of augmented reality in aircraft cabling assembly and, by providing instructions and blueprints to its technicians in AR, it has shortened manufacturing time by 25%, increased productivity by 40% and cut down on errors. Similar benefits can be achieved in other fields of industry as well. In automotive and in manufacturing overall, AR can help to increase efficiency and productivity and save significant time. Where? For example during quality control and at assembly centres.
Assembly Using Augmented Reality
During assembly, augmented reality can make operators’ jobs easier and save time that would otherwise be wasted on reworking. AR makes it possible to show instructions step by step – and to inform operators of mistakes in real time as well. In the Czech Republic, this approach is being used by Škoda Auto, who use video mapping to aid the process of packing pallets destined for export. Throughout every step, the projection shows an image of the required part and its placement on the pallet, and it highlights any misplaced parts in red.
A multitude of similar cases can be found throughout the industry. We are ourselves engaged in augmented reality at present, and we see primarily the following benefits for its deployment at assembly centres:
- faster manufacturing times,
- fewer errors,
- better final product quality,
- step-by-step displaying of instructions,
- faster worker onboarding.
Quality Control in Augmented Reality
The best manufacturing products for putting AR to work here are those that are standardised in their shape, dimensions and other parameters, while also having a number of variants. In some products, the differences among individual configurations are furthermore indistinguishable to the human eye, and this is a space for the application of technologies that can uncover even tiny differences.
Quality control in augmented reality
We can cite as a practical example the pilot project that Aimtec has implemented for a major supplier of door panels for passenger automobiles. Our goal was to provide them with a tool that would make it possible to assess situations quickly, simply and in the same way every time. Augmented reality automatically informs them of any deviations from the required state and enables them to not only detect these deviations but also comprehensively register them for traceability. It thus replaces a long checklist that inspectors must otherwise run through for every part.
AR’s benefits for quality control:
- processes become digitalised and automated,
- traceability data is recorded automatically,
- errors are reduced.
So – Does it Pay to Invest in AR?
More and more often, it does. Even though the use of augmented reality is still in its beginnings, we see a large future for it. Today’s technologies already enable satisfactory results using even widely available hardware, with software playing the key role. A specialised team of developers is engaged in future development within our AimtecLab R&D platform. Our implementations make use of both the latest technologies from market leaders and time-tested, still-unchallenged standards. Aimtec’s main advantage here lies in its ability to successfully integrate all of these technologies into a single functional unit and thus harness an information system’s true potential. In our labs, we are testing and preparing for the industrial deployment of e.g. video mapping systems, special hand scanners and advanced software AR tools such as Vuforia.

The metaverse is an emerging 3D-enabled advanced space that leverages virtual reality, augmented reality, and other advanced web and semiconductor technologies to enable individuals to have both personal and business experiences online.
The metaverse carries different meanings for different people. Some view it as a digital playground for socializing with friends, while others believe it holds the potential to become a thriving commercial space for companies and customers. We believe both interpretations are correct. In June 2022, McKinsey released “Value Creation in the Metaverse,” a new report based on surveys of more than 3,400 consumers and executives, along with interviews involving 13 senior leaders and metaverse experts. Based on this research, we define the metaverse as an evolution of today’s internet, something we are deeply immersed in rather than merely observing. It represents the convergence of digital technologies to enhance and expand the use of cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), spatial computing, and more. Furthermore, the “enterprise metaverse” may evolve to offer more opportunities beyond serving as a virtual space for social interaction.
At its core, the metaverse will have three fundamental features:
- Immersive experiences
- Real-time interactivity
- User engagement
Ultimately, the full vision of the metaverse will encompass:
- Seamless integration of platforms and devices
- The ability for thousands of people to connect simultaneously
- Use cases extending far beyond gaming
The metaverse isn’t about escaping reality, as futurist Cathy Hackl suggests. Instead, it’s about embracing and enhancing reality with virtual content and experiences that can make life more enjoyable, help us feel more connected to loved ones, be more productive at work, and lead to greater happiness. According to Brian Solis, Salesforce’s Global Innovation Evangelist, the essence of the metaverse revolves around community and the sense of belonging to this community. Users should feel like partners rather than mere “users.”
Just as blockchain has powered the decentralized creator economy, rapid technological advancements promise to facilitate future metaverse experiences and interoperability between virtual worlds. The widespread deployment of 5G will enable users to access vast virtual worlds on mobile devices. Several other advances will foster metaverse growth:
- Back-end engines will lower barriers to content creation, allowing broader audiences to develop advanced games and experiences, leading to a shift from 2D web spaces to fully immersive environments.
- Edge computing will provide the necessary computing power to operate the metaverse. This approach allows data to be captured, stored, and processed locally rather than in the cloud, addressing issues related to limited bandwidth and latency.
- Hardware devices will bridge the physical and virtual realms. In 2021, Meta shipped ten million Oculus Quest 2 headsets, and additional devices like gloves and bodysuits are gaining popularity.
- Software development will drive metaverse applications on top of the infrastructure.
It’s important to note that the technology required to fully realize the metaverse’s potential does not yet exist. Advancements will be necessary in computing infrastructure, network infrastructure, and interface hardware.
Despite the promise of the metaverse, there are lingering risks. As Charlie Bell, Microsoft’s Executive Vice President of Security, Compliance, Identity, and Management, pointed out in a recent blog post, many of the challenges faced on yesterday’s and today’s internet, such as impersonation, credential theft attempts, social engineering, nation-state surveillance, and inherent vulnerabilities, will persist within the metaverse.

The European space sector has undergone a drastic development in the last years, following the advent of the private spaceflight industry. Space is now more accessible than it was a decade ago, and this has made it interesting from an industrial and educational perspective. The European space economy is already valued at €50 billion and research in aerospace technologies is one of the priority areas covered in the Horizon 2020 section Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges. The European Commission and the European Investment Bank join forces to boost space sector investment with €200 million. The EuroSpaceHub project wants to leverage this financing structure from different funding opportunities with strong access to the space technology ecosystem.
EuroSpaceHub aims to connect digitally the space ecosystem in Europe, from tech transfer offices to industry, space accelerator networks, research centres, and other universities. The project will allow these actors to easily connect with financial opportunities from the Horizon Europe framework, the venture capital programme, and the InnovFin initiative. EuroSpaceHub will bridge the gap between academic institutions and industry using a collaborative mindset and entrepreneurship programmes inside the universities connected through tech transfer offices.
The EuroSpaceHub consortium has five full partners: Vilnius Gediminas Technical University in (Lithuania), International Space University (France), Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), Lunar Explorers Society (the Netherlands) and Collabwith Group (the Netherlands). These full partners are supported by 12 associate partners from the space ecosystem, including one ESA business incubation centre, two venture capital networks, three higher education institutions, two photonics and aerospace research centres, one technology park, one space foundation, and the Ministry of Economics in Lithuania.
Based on the full partners’ HEInnovate self-assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, the project aims to:
- create a new educational programme for entrepreneurship and innovation in space to leverage collaborative entrepreneurship;
- create a new tech transfer strategy and entrepreneurship liaison for universities to strengthen entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems;
- develop a strategy for space innovation ecosystems, including scaling a network of voluntary ambassadors inside every space-related organisation to ensure engagement;
- connect the space ecosystems of universities and industry via a EuroSpaceHub digital platform to increase collaboration and valorisation of tech transfer, and to leverage start-up projects with access to networks;
- connect events with students and non-academic staff to attract multi-disciplinary space professionals for innovation workshops, analogue missions, astronaut training, and space instrumentation and ecosystem networking events.

Difference between cloud solution and classic program
We need to clarify the term “cloud.” From a tech perspective, cloud means that the entire infrastructure is not real: it’s virtual and part of a large system. This is important: because of its architecture, it’s almost bulletproof. It can be easily changed, upgraded, and downgraded, and even hardware (processor, motherboard. memory, etc.) is virtual. It’s almost impossible that the instance on which the solution is running breaks.
From a user’s perspective, the only difference between cloud applications and traditional applications is that cloud applications run inside the browser, and classical applications are installed locally. This is a big difference because if a database is installed locally and grows, the user must upgrade the server (memory, CPU, etc.), and sometimes the server must be replaced by a more expensive one. Also, if the application and database are installed on a user’s server, the user must manage daily backups. Cloud applications don’t require any of this because everything is stored externally, and the personal managing that cloud must handle it. Even if your computer dies, you won’t lose any information. Cloud applications are obviously the future.

Space Ace: Why Is the Sun Orange?
ASK A SPACE SCIENTIST
Our universe is full of mysteries, and some of the most mind-boggling are in space. Curious kids asked questions, and we sent them to two Bahá’í scientists who work for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Send your questions (with your name and age) to firstname.lastname@example.org or use our Contact form.
Why is the Sun orange? —Domani, age 11
In space, the Sun looks white. White light is the combination of all the colors of the rainbow. On Earth, sunlight is scattered by the air, water, and dust in our atmosphere. The longer the path the light has to travel through the atmosphere, the more it gets scattered: purple first, then blue, then green, yellow, orange, and red. When overhead, the Sun looks yellow. But when it’s near the horizon at sunset or sunrise, the path of the light through the atmosphere is longer and the yellow light is scattered away, making the Sun look orange. The image above was produced by superimposing two wavelengths of ultraviolet light that we can’t see, so scientists colored them yellow and red to get the pretty orange color.—George
How fast is the fastest rocket?—Noura, age 11
The fastest rocket ever launched was the Atlas V (shown here), which carried the New Horizons probe into space. When it left Earth in 2006, the spacecraft was traveling 36,373 miles per hour. That’s 63 times faster than a passenger jet. At that speed, you could fly all the way around the Earth in 42 minutes. Even going that fast, it took New Horizons nine years to reach Pluto. That’s how big the solar system is. If you could walk to Pluto, it would take about 100,000 years!—George
Why is there gravity on Earth and not any gravity in space?—Safa, age 10
Gravity is a force that is found everywhere—in space as well as on Earth. If you were orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station, the gravity force there is only a little smaller than it is on Earth. However, you would think there is no gravity there, because you would feel weightless. The gravity of the Earth is what keeps the Space Station orbiting the Earth and not flying off into deep space. You feel weightless, because everything in the space station is moving toward Earth at the same speed, so it seems like there is no gravity. It is like being in freefall after jumping from an airplane—but because you are orbiting so fast, you never reach the ground.—Steve
Steve Scotti is a research engineer at NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia, U.S. He works to develop lighter, stronger materials and structures for aircraft and spacecraft. Watching the first astronaut launched into space inspired his interest in space exploration, and he enjoys sharing his enthusiasm about science and space with kids.
George Hatcher is an avionics engineer at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, U.S. He works on electrical systems of uncrewed rockets. He also studies planetary science at the University of Central Florida. Working for NASA is a dream come true for George. He’s aspired to be an astronaut since he was three. He’s one of 100 finalists in the Mars One Project, which aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.

Passive systems: photogrammetry and other image based methods
This page describes traditional photogrammetry and semi-automated image-based methods Structure-From-Motion (SFM) and Dense Multi-View 3D Reconstruction (DMVR).
Photogrammetry is the primary image-based method used to determine the 2D and 3D geometric properties of objects that are visible in an image set. The method involves calibrating stereo images, feature extraction, feature correspondence analysis and depth computation based on corresponding points. It is a simple and low cost (in terms of equipment) approach; its main challenge involves the task of correctly identifying common points between images.
The determination of the attitude, position and the intrinsic geometric characteristics of the camera are fundamental photogrammetric problems. It can be described as the determination of camera interior and exterior orientation parameters, and the determination of the 3D coordinates of points on the images.
Photogrammetry can be used both on the ground and in the air. In aerial photogrammetry, images are acquired from an aircraft or an UAV, whilst in terrestrial photogrammetry images are captured from near or on the surface of the earth. When the object size and the distance between the camera and object are less than 100m then terrestrial photogrammetry is also defined as close range photogrammetry.
Module 1.2 of the video training course illustrates methods for capturing overlapping images of small and large museum objects including camera setup and lighting.
The accuracy of photogrammetric measurements is largely a function of the camera’s optics quality and sensor resolution. Current commercial and open photogrammetric software solutions are able to quickly perform tasks such as camera calibration, epipolar geometry computations and textured map 3D mesh generation. Common digital images can be used and under suitable conditions high accuracy measurements can be obtained. The method can be considered objective and reliable. Using modern software solutions it can be relatively simple to apply and has a low cost. When combined with accurate measurements derived from a total station for example it can produce models of high accuracy for scales of 1:100 and even higher.
Overlapping area of images captured at A and B are resolved within the 3D model space to enable the precise and accurate measurement of the model.
In recent times, increase in the computation power has allowed the introduction of semi automated image-based methods. An example is the combination of Structure-From-Motion (SFM) and Dense Multi-View 3D Reconstruction (DMVR) methods. A number of software solutions implementing SFM-DMVR algorithms from unordered image collections are available to the broad public.
SFM is considered an extension of stereo vision. Instead of image pairs the method attempts to reconstruct depth from a number of unordered images that depict a static scene or an object from arbitrary viewpoints.
As well as feature extraction phase, the trajectories of corresponding features over the image collection are computed. The method mainly uses corresponding features, shared between different images that depict overlapping areas, to calculate the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera. These parameters are related to the focal length, the image format, the principal point, the lens distortion coefficients, the location of the projection centre and the image orientation in 3D space. Many systems include adjustment methods in to improve the accuracy of calculating the camera trajectory within the image collection, minimise the projection error and prevent the error-built up of the camera position tracking.
The principles of structure from motion (SFM) measurement from multiple overlapping images.

Consider this: Google won’t be making your phone. Nor does it plan to plaster it’s brand on the devices. Instead, it will work with four cell phone manufacturers who have agreed to use Google’s programs in their handsets. You, the Consumer, will have to buy a new phone to get the Google software because the bundle wasn’t made for existing handsets. But that’s ok right? Most people buy a new phone every year or so anyway.
Given the rush to buy the iphone, and every other smart phone, what will it be like when the Gphone is released? Even with its market debut months away, Google’s software looms as a significant threat to other mobile operating systems made by Microsoft, Research In Motion, Palm and Symbian, which is owned by Nokia and several other major phone makers.
Because Google’s software will be free, it could undercut rivals who charge handset makers to install their operating systems. It also promises to make smart phones less expensive since manufacturers won’t have to pay for software. So having said that, the other Smart phone carriers and manufacturers. They can either hold on to an already ridiculously high price point and get eaten alive, or drop their pricing to be more in line with the new phone.
Google’s system will be based on computer code that can be openly distributed among programmers. That, Google hopes, will encourage developers to create new applications and other software improvements that could spawn new uses for smart phones. Think Open Social.
The fallout from all of this though, positive as it may be, is that we are going to see an all out war when it comes to owning eyeballs and their handsets. The biggest beneficiary? The consumer.
So far, Motorola, Samsung Electronics Co., HTC and LG Electronics Inc. have agreed to use Google’s software in some of their phones. Both Motorola and Samsung already buy Microsoft’s Windows Mobile in some of their phones so the question begs, will Google force Motorola and Samsung to choose sides or can they coexist?
The list of wireless carriers that have agreed to provide service for the Google-powered phone in the United States include Sprint Nextel and Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile in the United States. China Mobile, Telefonica in Spain and Telecom Italia are among the carriers that have signed on to provide service outside the United States.
They are among a Google-led group of 34 companies that have formed the Open Handset Alliance. Other key players include major chip makers like Intel Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Broadcom Corp. and Nvidia Corp.
“This partnership will help unleash the potential of mobile technology for billions of users around the world,” said Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive.
Together, these companies will use Google’s Android platform –( Steven Spielberg, where are you?) Google says it will be available under “one of the most progressive, developer-friendly, open source licenses” — to develop new services for mobile devices.
In closing, watch in the coming months as the carriers and handset makers decide how they are going to price not only the new G, but also their other smart phones. They cannot possibly price the device so high that consumers start looking at the iphone as an attractive alternative. Thus this means that other smart phones have to fall in line. But I don’t think Google wants to own just smart phones. They want all consumers to use their bundled offerings on all phones. Not just the high priced smart devices. Again, know who wins? You.

The BT Group revealed in a recent survey, 86% of businesses plan to move all communications to mobile phones following the Big Switch Off in 2025.
But how ready are Facility Managers and the premises they manage?
Recently, The BT Group sent a gentle reminder of the Big Switch Off in 2025, when businesses will no longer have the option to use a landline, as the communications giant plans to move all UK phones lines from traditional Public Switched Telephone Network to fully digital.
Nick Hawke, Business Development Manager at Pan RF (pictured), the global leader in wireless connectivity, reveals that a recent Pan RF poll stated an incredible 78% of office workers already choose to use their mobile phones at their desks, in meetings, and in communal areas for work purposes.
So, how prepared are FM and building owners for every tenant in the building to be on their mobile phones in the office? Can your digital infrastructure cope with demand?
Poor mobile connectivity for whatever reason is the building owner’s responsibility, not the mobile phone operators. If you manage a building with already poor cellular mobile coverage, then this will only get worse, and it will affect your tenants daily and business will suffer.
How to make the most of mobile signals?
You can implement several strategies and solutions to boost the mobile signal connection in your offices. Here are some steps you can take:
- Begin by assessing the current 4G signal strength within your office building. Identify areas with weak or no signal reception using mobile devices or signal-strength apps. This will help you understand the scope of the problem and focus your efforts accordingly.
- Consider installing external antennas or signal boosters on the exterior of your office building. These devices capture and amplify the existing mobile signal from nearby macro cells and distribute it within the building. Then, signal boosters can be placed strategically to cover the areas with weak signal reception.
- Implement an Indoor Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to improve signal distribution throughout the office building. DAS consists of antennas and amplifiers that boost the 2G, 4G and 5G signal and distribute it evenly across multiple floors and rooms. This ensures better coverage and reduces signal attenuation caused by building materials that affect the mobile signal strength.
- If your office building has poor 4G coverage, consider deploying femtocells or small cells within the building. These devices act as miniature cell towers and provide localised 4G coverage in areas where the signal is weak. Femtocells are typically suitable for smaller office spaces, while small cells are more suitable for more significant buildings. But tread carefully. Several technical hoops need to be jumped through before being installed.
- Ensure that wireless routers, access points, or signal boosters are strategically positioned within the office building to optimise signal propagation. Experiment with different locations to find the best placement that maximises coverage and minimises interference.
- Evaluate the building materials used within your office building, some materials can significantly impact signal penetration. Materials like concrete, metal, and energy-efficient glass can impede 4G signals. Even buildings that have had the environments impact measured or external surroundings of the building can all have an impact. Where possible, plan to use signal-boosting window films, using signal-boosting paints, or strategically placing signal boosters near areas with signal interference.
- Engage with your mobile network provider to discuss the 4G coverage issues within your office building. They may provide insights, recommendations, or specific solutions tailored to your situation. They can also inform you about upcoming network infrastructure improvements or technologies that could enhance 4G connectivity.
- Once you have implemented the necessary solutions, ensure regular maintenance and periodic upgrades to keep the 4G network infrastructure functioning optimally. Stay updated with new technologies and advancements in in-building mobile telecoms to improve connectivity continuously.
There are many factors that will affect the signal in the building. For a site survey please contact: Nick Hawke, Business Development Manager, Pan RF

C&M Aquatic Management Group Ltd. – Remote Mapping of Sludge Lagoons
Over time, wastewater lagoons fill up with accumulations of sludge—a material whose pattern, position, and volume is both difficult to accurately assess and potentially dangerous due to the presence of harmful bacteria.
With sludge accumulation older lagoons can develop water flow patterns that no longer conform to the original engineered design, resulting in greatly compromised efficiency that often requires expensive operator intervention. The most common method of determining the status of sludge requires staff to enter the lagoon in a small boat with a pole to measure the sludge levels. It’s a time-consuming and potentially inaccurate method.
In collaboration with C&M Aquatic Management Group, the CAWT student team is integrating several components of engineering, low-level robotics, waste management understanding, data manipulation, and software into its research.
To take measurements of the sludge levels, C&M’s solution requires a shoreline radio controlled, sonar and GPS equipped floating device (a small boat). The solution integrates collected data with 3D mapping software that demonstrates depth, volume, and position of sludge.
With such accurate information, C&M will be able to engineer more efficient solutions for each lagoon, in turn reducing the overall cost of operating the facility. Not to mention, the results of those solutions could be physically validated with subsequent mapping.
The CAWT team works closely with industry and technology companies to design, develop, test or improve products and services, prototype and test new technology and processes, commercialize innovative technologies, and access research funding and partners.

In the following article sources claim that a new EM engine works in a vacuum even though it “violates the Law of Conservation of Momentum”.
Evaluating NASA’s Futuristic EM Drive
In my novels, Pomroy’s World: Arrival and Pomroy’s World: Alone, one of the main characters, Juan Garcia, develops a device to directly detect dark matter.
Perhaps the vacuum is not empty.
Perhaps the thrust NASA’s EM drive develops is a result of forces from the virtual particles of the Quantum vacuum interacting with dark matter and dark energy.
Perhaps Juan Garcia found something important.
Perhaps the secret of dark matter and energy lies in Pomroy’s World.
Good news, the Large Hadron Collider is going to search for dark matter.

Multi-layer PCBs are circuit boards made up of a lot more than two electrical layers (copper layers) superimposed on each other. The copper layers are bonded together by resin layers(prepreg). Multi-layer boards represent probably the most complex form of printed circuit boards. Their expense is relatively high, owing to the complexity of the manufacturing process, lower production yields and difficulty of re-working on them. The need for multi-layer boards has been necessitated by the increasing packaging density of PCB Spring Terminal Block, which give rise to high concentration of interconnecting lines.
The printed circuit layout results in unpredictable design problems like noise, stray capacitance, cross-talk etc. The PCB design, therefore, must aim at minimizing the size of the signal lines and avoiding parallel routing etc. Obviously, such kind of requirements could not really met satisfactory in single-sided and even double-sided printed circuit boards as a result of limited cross-over which could be realized. Thus, to achieve satisfactorily performance from the circuit in the existence of an extremely large number of interconnections and cross-over, the PCB should be extended beyond two-plane approach.
This offers rise to the idea of multi-layer circuit boards. Hence, the main intent of fabricating a multi-layer printed circuit board would be to provide an additional degree of freedom in your selection of suitable routing paths for complex Feed Through Terminal Block. Multi-layer boards have at the very least three layers of conductors, by which two layers are on the outside surface as the remaining the initial one is incorporated into the insulating boards. The electrical connector is often completed through plated through-holes, which can be transverse for the boards. Unless otherwise specified, multi-layer PCBs are assumed to become plated through hole similar to double-sided boards.
Multi-layer boards are fabricated by stacking several circuits on top of every other and establishing a trusted set of pre-determined interconnections between the two. The technique starts off with a departure from conventional processing in that all the layers are drilled and plated before these are laminated together. The 2 innermost layers will comprise conventional two-sided PCB as the various outer layers will likely be fabricated as separate single-sided PCBs.
Just before lamination, the inner layer boards will likely be drilled, plated through, imaged, developed and etched. The drilled outer layers, which are signal layers, are plated through in a manner that uniform donuts of copper are formed on the underside rims of the through-holes. This can be then lamination from the various layers in to a composite multi-layer with wave-solderable interconnections. The lamination may be done in a hydraulic press or in an over-pressure chamber (autoclave). Inside the case of Transformer Terminal Block, the prepared material (press stack) is put within the cold or pre-heated press (170 to 180 °C for material having a high glass transition point). The glass transition temperature will be the temperature in which the amorphous polymers (resins) or the amorphous areas of a partially crystalline polymer change from the hard and relatively brittle state to a viscous, rubbery state. Multi-layer boards find applications in professional eqrfdn (computers, military equipment), particularly whenever weight and volume are the over-riding considerations.
However, there should be a trade-off which is simply the cost for space and weight versus the board’s costs. Also, they are very beneficial in high-speed circuitry because more than two planes are offered to the PCB designer for running conductors and providing for big ground and offer areas.

The mitts will have a timing circuit mounted on them. When the player taps a bubble, the mitt IR LED will be on for a specific amount of time. The time will be different for each mitt, allowing individual mitts to be differentiated. Because the Wiimote IR camera refreshes at 100HZ, one mitt will be on for about 4/100th of a second, while the second will be on for about 15/100th of a second. This allows the software to know which mitt each IR spot is. It may even be possible to add a third or fourth mitt if we test it out the pulse lengths first.
The Wiimote Whiteboard software we were using was set into mouse cursor mode for our original game. This meant that only one bubble could be popped at a time, and that it wasn't possible to differentiate between players. Thus a mouse click will not function properly to pop a bubble with multiple players. The Wiimote software is written in C#, and I have looked at the source code. I can modify the software to track multiple IR spots. The issue is that the flash program will have to have a more complicated interface with the tracking software for it to work. In order for all the game calculations and logic to occur in the flash application, I think the best way for the C# software to talk to the flash program is for the C# software to just pass the player number and pixel location (in X,Y format, likely at 1024 x 768 resolution) of a mitten press to the flash app, with everything else being done in the flash app.
Here are some examples of adding .swf programs into .net framework applications, C# specifically.


Networked sound masking systems by Dynasound
Networked audio and addressable speaker systems have become the preferred approach to sound masking, paging and music distribution. While offering the utmost in flexibility and control, Dynasound networked systems consist of a few easy to specify components, use standard network hardware, are CobraNet ready and allow control of every speaker individually.
The industry's first PoE (power over Ethernet) sound masking system sets the standard for control. Every speaker can be individually configured to receive one, or more, of eight network audio channels, and the output of one, or more, of four sound masking generators. Privacy Manager software enables adjustments on a system-wide, per zone, or per speaker basis.
Dynasound's networked sound masking system features three easy to specify components. The DS3008 processor connects external paging and music signals into the digital network. Each DS8000 is an eight channel receiver and amplifier containing four sound masking generators and full DSP processing ability. Speaker connections are made with standard two conductor audio cable. Other connections use standard network CAT-5 cable.
Dynasound's DS8000 speaker controller is the industry's first power over Ethernet soundmasking controller. Power over Ethernet (PoE) and CAT5 cabling provide power and networked digital audio signals to the DS8000. Each DS8000 has eight speaker outputs designed to power Dynasound's DS1356 speakers. Each DS8000 is capable of receiving 8 network audio channels. In addition, each DS8000 contains four independent soundmasking generators each having full 1/3 octave EQ. Each speaker output has independent control and access to the eight audio network channels and the four internal soundmasking generators. A DSP matrix mixer allows any combination of channels to be delivered to any speaker.
The DS3008 is an eight channel DSP soundmasking processor with full networking capability. Each DS3008 has four internal soundmasking generators each having 1/3 octave band EQ. The DS3008 has eight audio inputs for paging and music signals. All eight audio channels are broadcast via digital network audio to the DS8000 speaker controllers. In addition the DS3008 provides eight standard balanced audio outputs for use with conventional soundmasking networks.
The DS1356 speaker is designed to be installed above suspended ceilings or in open-structure facilities. Speakers are available in white or black. The speakers are connected to the outputs of the DS8000 using standard 18 AWG two conductor wire. Speakers are suspended using a single point suspension. These speakers are 8 ohm speakers and should not be used on 70 volt systems.
Dynasound's networked soundmasking systems utilize industry standard PoE network switches. Our systems do not require expensive managed switches. We recommend the Netgear FS728TP for most installations. Smaller switches may be used when only a few DS8000s are required.
Dynasound Privacy Manager
Dynasound's Privacy Manager software allows access to every individual networked speaker. Volume, channel and tone (EQ) adjustments may be made on a per speaker basis.
When connected to a Dynasound Networked sound masking system, Privacy Manager's main screen offers simple tools for making sound level adjustments on a system-wide, per zone or per speaker basis. The main screen displays all network devices and provides access to detailed settings and functions.
In this example the display indicates that a DS3008 soundmasking and paging processor is transmitting via the network to multiple DS8000 speaker controllers.
Every Dynasound networked sound masking device contains four independent sound masking generators. The equalizer screen on the right provides access to the four generators. In the default configuration generators A and B are ganged allowing two channel masking signals to be adjusted with one EQ.
When connected to a DS8000 network speaker processor the Input Manager provides per channel equalization and level control for incoming network signals, such as paging or background music.
The Output Manager provides a matrix mixer which allows any mix of network channels and internal generators to be routed to any speaker. The standard configuration provides two channels of broadcast soundmasking on network channels 7 and 8, alternating between speakers. The individual volume, as well as the mix of audio channels , for each individual speaker can be adjusted.
