not being sold, shared, or traded, no license is required.” Making a gun in the traditional manner is a hard thing to do, however 3D printing makes this a very easy and concealable task, allowing even felons to secretly create a gun. Currently, 3D printers do nothing to stop these types of weapons from being made on them (Blackman). Here is a video that blew up on social media awhile back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rej9n3CDtRY…
The most recent example of this idea of duplication as opposed to original generation is the modern phenomenon of three-dimensional or 3D printing. There has been a huge amount of interest following 3D printing as it has transcended from a futuristic figment of the imagination to a shelf-stocked product in a number of years and can be purchased today from just €230. The incredibly innovative sensation that is 3D printing is seen to be completely ahead of its time and to have come out of nowhere.…
John Zarka Mr. Kirby Forensic Science March 22, 2016 Shoe Print The basic theory behind footwear analysis is that, much like fingerprints, shoes may leave behind either prints (referred to as "imprints") or impressions that can be examined by investigators. The type of evidence left behind depends largely on the type of surface traveled. For example, a shoe will leave an impression in loose sand, but on a hard surface like concrete or linoleum, it will leave an imprint. These imprints or…
a solid 3 dimensional object. 3D printers work automatically by reading digital files from the computer called CAD (Computer Aided Design) files. These files are created using a 3D modeling program in the computer. Like every printer it has to use some form of ink. However, a 3D printer works slightly differently as it uses various materials such as polymers, plastic and maybe even metals as “ink” to print the object. Now u may be thinking what are 3D printers used for, and more importantly…
know is the design of your stickers. It is for a fact that sometimes you might be tempted to utilize your own home printer to do your own printing. As much possible, avoid printing your sticker on your own. The print quality of your home printer will not be quality enough and can sometimes lead to some problems that might affect your…
In this study, the effect of benzenethiol ligand on CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots was investigated. Conventional long-chain oleic acid (OA) and trioctylphosphine (TOP) capping ligands were partially replaced by short benzenethiol ligands, and the improvement in the luminescence performance was observed in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LED). Approximately 1.8 fold improvement was achieved for both the maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency for the QD-LEDs fabricated with…
object. Curiosity enhances human survivability and it makes way for new discoveries and enhancements. Humans would not have adapted as well if they did not question their surroundings. This level of curiosity is shown in “Allegory of the Cave” and The Matrix. These two stories are…
In Orson Scott Card’s surprising novel and film Ender’s Game, Ender Wiggin is burdened with the responsibility of saving the world from their alien enemy, the Buggers. Though every person on the Earth has their own responsibilities some aren’t as important as saving the Earth. In the novel and film Ender faces many obstacles but will soon overcome them. While watching the film there were two differences from the novel that stood out, Ender’s age and when all of the characters were introduced.…
influenced the making of the movie The Matrix. However, the work of Plato, can be seen on having the largest impact on the movie. The Matrix has several instances where it parallels Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave; although the biggest parallel can be seen within the character of Neo. The image of the prisoner who escaped from the cave in “The Allegory of the Cave” can be seen as having an influence on the Wachowski sibling’s character Neo from The Matrix. In “The Allegory of the Cave” a…
Determining the constituents of reality is arguable the genesis of a prevailing acquiescence within society, and this manifests largely as either blind conformity or wistful ignorance. J.M Barrie and The Wachowski Brothers, authors of Peter Pan and The Matrix, respectively, consider how the obvious dichotomy between reality and fantasy in the two texts acts as a metaphor for society and their ability to choose preferential ignorance in times of strife. This idea is extended to incorporate the…
