 Off-screen stage hands ensured the automatic doors on shows like Star Trek and The Next Generation always opened with impeccable timing and speed. And now Japanese robotics  stanley cup website researchers have developed an intelligent sensor that could make the automatic doors at your local grocery store far less stupid.     To be more specific, the sensors used on most automatic doors are easily fooled by people simply walking past them, and are often very slow to react when someone is approaching. But using lasers and advanced algorithms, these doors will attempt to guess if someone actually wants to pass through, and based on their rate of approach, it will adjust the speed of the opening doors so t gourde stanley he person doesn ;t have to slow down.  Unfortunately, the researchers estimate their new sensors could add as much as $1, stanley cups 000 to the price of an automatic door.

 A former FBI agent accused  stanley cup of conspiring in a mob murder spree has been cleared of the sensational charges, but the vaunted law enforcement agency received a scathing rebuke from a judge in the process.In a four-page decision that brought the trial of ex-agent Lindley DeVecchio to a stunning end Thursday, state Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach said the FBI violated its own rules by allowing DeVecchio to court a known killer as an informant for well over a decade. In the face of the o stanley cup bvious menace posed by organized crime, the FBI was willing ... to make a deal with the devil,  Reichbach said in a hushed Brooklyn courtroom.  At best, the FBI engaged in a policy of self-deception, not wanting to know the true facts about this informant-murderer whom they chose to employ.

Babies are at the greatest risk of death from the disease, and two babies have indeed died in California so far this year. We urge all pregnant women to get vaccinated, Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health told the L.A. Times. We also urge parents to vaccinate infants as soon as possible. Babies can ;t be vaccinated until they reach 6 weeks of age, which is why public health officials often urge pregnant mothers to get vaccinated, giving their newborns some degree of immunity. As Time notes, the last whooping cough epidemic in California back in 2010 was a direct result of parents choosing not to vaccinate their children.

 Until today, scientists only knew of three classes of 3 dimensional solids. Now they ;ve got a fourth. This new flavor of shapes are called Goldberg polyhedrons, and they are the first new class of shapes discovered in over four hundred years.     The criteria for being your own type of three dimensional solid is all about whet stanley mugg her your edges are equal lengths, and whether your faces are regular polygons. Discovered by UCLA neuroscientist Stan Schein and UCLA neuroscientist James Gayed, Goldberg polyhedra  pictured left  do have sides that are all the same length, but it   polygonal faces have equal angles. And surprisingly enough, that   a combo that   actually never been seen before. The Goldberg polyhedra   properties, specifically their equal angles, give them a rounded, spherical appearance. The mathematicians who discovered these unique shapes don ;t see them solving any problems right now, but envision at least a few fun applications. Their distinctive roundedness could improve the way a golf ball slices through air. In another way, they do strongly resemble viruses. If it turned out that viruses obeyed Goldberg polyhedron geometry that could really help to inform the development of drugs. But most important for this team, they will join the ranks of three very influential thinkers in textbooks al stanley spain l across the world.

 With oil already up 2 stanley cup spain 0 percent this year, economists are ask stanley cup ing how long it will take before it puts the breaks on the recovery. If you re looking for the cheapest gas in the country, you ll have to drive all the way to Wyoming, the only state where gas still averages under $3.50 a gallon.The national average, now $3.79 per gallon, is just 32 cents away from the all-time high set in July 2008. Prices have been driven up by the global economic recovery, record speculation and unrest in the Middle East.John Kingston of Platt s says supplies have been strained by the civil war in Libya. You ve lost 1.3 million barrels a day of the world s best crude in Libya. You have to account for that somewhere,  Kingston said.        As oil prices have climbed back to $110 a barrel, it poses a growing threat to the economy. Ellen Zentner, an economist with the Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi, said high gas prices could almost certainly take some of the momentum of the recent economic recovery. Economists have already marked down some of their growth forecasts for the first quarter of consumer spending,  Zentner said.Zentner says gas and food inflation are eroding Americans  paychecks. If we adjust wages for inflation, they not only declined month to month in March, they re declining on a year-over-year basis,  Zentner said.            The American consumer drives two-thirds of the economy. So far, spending at retail stores is holding up. It rose again more than 2 percent in March, but  stanley cup spending on Ppmz Heat Wave Broils The West
 Well this is something you certainly don ;t see every day. It   a tiny droplet of alcohol that   autonomously navigating a maze in an effort to reach a target. The researchers who set up the experiment say it could lead to some interesting new technologies.     We don ;t typically think of droplets 鈥?simple spheres of fluid 鈥?as the most dynamic things in nature. Typically, the ability to self-move is an attribute reserved for living organisms. But as new research from the Univer stanley flask sity of Southern Denmark and the Institute of stanley bottles  Chemical Technology in Prague, Czech Republic, demonstrates, non- stanley taza living entities can move to. Now it might not seem like a big deal, but the ability to coax the movement and directionality of droplets 鈥?in this case a tiny ball of decanol 鈥?may be used as a technology to physically move chemistry to a place where it   needed. For example, it could act as a lubricant, targeting an area in a machine. Or, the droplet could be used as a carrier for critical chemical agents; once the parameters are set it, droplets could be used to find a destination and release its content, such as medicine or even flavoring. The key ingredient to the process is salt, which attracts alcohol. It   the stimulus that makes the droplets move. And they move because the salt gradient provides a different energy landscape. Lead investigator Martin Hanczyc put it this way in a University of Southern Denmark release: It is like taking a ball that is la

 The design world hyperventilated when it was announced that Marc Newson would be going to work with his best bud Jony Ive at Apple. But that doesn ;t mean all of his work will be done inside the spaceship, and now Newson has revealed another project: Redesigning one of the most iconic firearms in history.     Newson   design for the Beretta 486 debuted at an event in London last night as a modern overhaul of the traditional side-by-side shotgun. Basically, Ne stanley thermos mug wson gave the shotgun a 21st century indus stanley cups uk trial design makeover, consolidating and reconfiguring all the elements, but making some aesthetic adjustments as well. Some of the changes are material. By bringing the walnut wood up and over the receiver, he   able to add an element of warmth and craftsmanship to what are normally cold steel parts. The receiver is now completely edgeless, without any noticeable breaks between wood and steel. He also had all the parts re-machined into more streamlined, ergonomic shapes, including a brand-new opening lever design, relocated trigger guard, and a narrowed forend. Of particular note are brand-new barrels that are completely devoid of any welding lines. But Newson also aimed to make the shotgun a bit more pretty. Covering the shotgun are lacy laser-etched engravings inspired by ancient pheasant-hunting depictions from Japan. In a statement, Newson seems to have forged a technological bridge between his own work and the tradi stanley cups uk tions of the centuries-old manufacturer.
