Gecko Gloves Many children dream of being a superhero and climbing walls, however this idea may seem too far fetched for any human to accomplish; or is it? The gecko gloves are an astounding new development in the technological field that allows humans to climb walls with ease. Most of the development is for the movies and the military, however some variations are being dispersed for public usage. These variations will contain many of the same aspects as the original, however, the variation…

Oh boy, I'm going to be talking (in Snake's voice) Metal Gear. While this game series is close to the end, nothing is more important to a series than its story, though this story is more plot twist in its games after MGS 1. In Metal Gear Solid, a man, code name: Solid Snake is sent to Shadow Moses Island to stop the plans of Liquid Snake and his lackeys. To be honest I will go through the bosses real quick, 3, 2, 1, GO! Revolver Ocelot, a gunner with an importance to the series, Vulcan…

Describe what an autonomous vehicle is, and predict some of the challenges the vehicles might face in this Grand Challenge road race. An autonomous vehicle is one that can drive itself through the use of sensors, algorithms, and basic components of a normal vehicle (engine, transmission, axles, and wheels). My predictions for the challenge is that the vehicles will face hills, uneven terrain, sharp turns, software failure, hardware failure, and other mechanical failures. How did the teams…

had, we have new products that help us do virtually everything. N.A.S.A has created a new robot called the Valkyrie that can save you from disaster, and even complete missions. The Valkyrie is of much use, and it is mainly designed for the DARPA competition; DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. As you can see here we are trying to create robots and machine to help us to function better and protect us, and the Valkyrie will be a good start to this era. In the next…

Cognitive dysfunction is common sequale after head injury and includes deficits in the domains of attention, visual-spatial, processing speed, memory, and executive functioning. In addition there are deficits with new learning, planning, problem solving, initiation thus making a holistic IDT approach to management essential. These deficits are likely due the diffuse nature of axonal injury and due to the susceptibility of the frontal and temporal lobes to injury. Current literature support the…

we will accept inventions so long as they have a practical and helpful use for society. Shteyngart talked about the Darpa challenge which was a challenge to create a remote controlled device to be able to react to disaster scenarios where humans couldn’t go due to the dangers. The author talks about the design of Hubo the Robot and how was created to function and compete in the Darpa challenge. The concept of having a machine be able to safely shut down a disaster, such as a power plant melting…

recently focused on the using of cyborg animals for the purposes of a supposed tactical advantage. DARPA has said its interest in developing "cyborg insects" to transmit data from sensors implanted into the insect during the pupal stage. “The insect's motion would be controlled from a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) and could conceivably survey an environment or detect explosives and gas”. Also, DARPA is developing a neural implant to remotely control the movement of sharks. “The…

Dwight Eisenhower lived a prolific life. In his lifetime he earned plenty of awards and medals. Eisenhower commanded the troops in North Africa during World War II and eventually climbed to the top rank of a 5 star General. He was the top commanding General of the Allies and as the Supreme Allied Commander he led the forces to invade on D-Day. Later defeating the Germans. Post war, Dwight did not want to do anything with politics but he was the right man for the right job. He led military…

He believes that these people are taking jobs, rights, and privileges away from rightful, deserving, and legal Americans. He has proposed several methods…

Military spending in the U.S has been a widely debated issue for years; should we spend more, or spend less? We are in the 21st century and the world is becoming a scarier place to live in. Our military needs to grow to keep citizens safe, restore peace, and protect allies. So why wouldn’t we increase military spending, what good would come of that except not spending as much, but at what cost? Our safety? The rest of the world is growing in technology and ways to harm the US. We need to be at…
