Sonar

Bats have the ability of possessing sonar which is very unlike any ability of humans. This is the main reason why Nagel choose bats as his example. His argument is that you can imagine yourself to behave as a bat behaves but you can’t imagine what it’s like for a bat to be a bat. He argues…

The next flagship mission we have is called Gigantas I. Gigantas is the word Enceladus in Greeks, which means a very bright satellite of Saturn. By sending a space orbiter and a lander to the sixth largest moon of Saturn and the brightest world in the solar system (NASA, 2015), We can easily accomplish this researching mission and bring lots of valuable data back to earth. Enceladus, with approximately 310 miles diameters, is one tenth of the Saturn’s largest moon. (NolaTRedd, 2016) It was…

When you are going to explore the world, that is when you realize that you are only a small human in this ginormous world like the atoms in a blueberry, that is when you realize that the world is a vast mystery waiting to be explored, that is when you realize that nothing is impossible on this unknown world. The world is like the universe, waiting to be explored. A lot Of the Ocean is Unexplored Scientists believe that only 5% percent of the ocean is unexplored, leaving 95% of the ocean a vast…

Fifty years ago, in addition to his "all-season" fishing gear, the only tool an ice fisherman required for some ice fishing fun was an axe to chop through the ice. Today things have advanced considerably. While there is a multitude of equipment out there claiming to be a necessity, most of it is unnecessary. The basic gear listed here may also not be completely necessary, but it can make your fishing a little more enjoyable and maybe even help you catch a few more fish. Dressing properly seems…

III. Seafloor and Massive Sulfide Mining Technology Although there will be technological variations in the mining equipment required for each type of mineral deposit, the basic concept and methodology for recovery is similar. In each case, a collector vehicle will make contact with the seafloor and collect the mineral deposits. In the case of SMS, and cobalt crusts, this will require cutting or breaking the mineral deposits from the substrate. The mined materials, combined with seawater, will be…

WARMER OCEANS ARE NOW LINKED TO DANGEROUS NEUROTOXINS IN SHELLFISH Thanks to global warming the whole earth, even the oceans are heating up. This is having many new and potentially life-threatening changes for both ocean life and humans. A mysterious, potentially deadly neurotoxin has been found in many new shellfish. Phytoplankton produces a natural acid called Domoic acids which in small doses it's harmless. However, when it is produced in excess it becomes poisonous to people. "The shellfish…

Hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to create an ultrasound machine that could create 3D images. Kazunori Baba, M.D., Ph.D. thought to himself one day. For a time Kazunori Baba has been realizing the benefits of such a machine. He thinks to himself, the benefits of a 3D ultrasound would be monumental, my expecting mothers could not only see their babies in real time, but as a doctor I would also be able to better see the babies and find any possible birth defects before the delivery. But will there…

had to find another hobby to fill that void. Fishing did just that. I fish every chance I get, no matter where I am. The items I would spend some of the money on would include a bass boat (“2010 Tracker Pro”), a fishing reel (“Abu Garcia”), and a sonar (“Garmin”). These things would help increase the size and the amount of fish I catch. I would also purchase a marine Yeti cooler (“Yeti”) to bring with me on my fishing trips to keep drinks cool or to prevent fish I keep from going bad. On those…

Cytron Technologies explain in their user’s manual of the HC-SR04 sensors that the ultrasonic sensor uses sonar to determine distance to an object like bats or dolphins do. To start the measurement, the code triggers the digital Trig pin (Pin D12) of the sensor with a high (5V) level signal of 10μs (micro second), this initiate the sensor to transmit out eight…

Dr. Matthew Ogburn focused his research on two kinds of river herrings, the Alewife and the Blueback Herring. The present research concentrates mainly on this species as it has drastically suffered a decline in existence as well as becoming endangered species. Thus, for this reason they are the module species in this investigation. River Herrings are known species to spawn in fresh water but live most of their lives in the ocean. They are also known to migrate between freshwater and ocean water…
