Is advanced control-loop tuning a mystery?
Some
operators think so, observes Terry Blevins, principal technologist with
Austin, Texas-headquartered Emerson Process Management’s (www.emersonprocess.com)
DeltaV Product Engineering group. “They’ll tune a loop using some
procedure and get good performance. But the next day, the same loop
operates differently.”

The term 'Virtual Reality' (VR) was initially coined by Jaron Lanier,
founder of VPL Research (1989). Other related terms include 'Artificial
Reality' (Myron Krueger, 1970s), 'Cyberspace' (William Gibson, 1984), and,
more recently, 'Virtual Worlds' and 'Virtual Environments' (1990s).
Today, 'Virtual Reality' is used in a variety of ways and often in a
confusing and misleading manner. Originally, the term referred to
'Immersive Virtual Reality.' In immersive VR, the user becomes fully
immersed in an artificial, three-dimensional world that is completely
generated by a computer.

Scientists have built an amphibious robot to simulate the movements
of the first four-legged creature that emerged from the sea to walk on
land some 400 million years ago.
The robot walks and swims like a salamander, the living amphibian that
is thought to most closely resemble the first fish-like amphibians to
walk on land.

The Seeing Machines DSS-R is a robust, automatic sensor platform that
produces data for operator fatigue and operator distraction
applications. The DSS-R is the first step towards vehicles that are
‘driver aware’.

Have you ever gotten up off the couch to get a beer for the umpteenth time and thought, "What if
instead of ME going to get the BEER, the BEER came to ME???" Well, that was how I first conceived of the beer launching

Bicycle thieves beware , technology being developed at the University of Leeds (UK) could be the answer to every cyclists nightmare.
By using a computer system, it is possible to detect individuals parking their bicycles and to automatically warn security staff if someone other than the owner removes the bicycle
PhD student Dima Damen, from the University’s Faculty of Engineering is developing the system. Dima says that
“It’s difficult to monitor CCTV cameras, as operators normally have a large number of screens to watch and this often results in bicycle thefts being missed, even if they are happening right in front of the camera.”
