Technology Definition and 505 Threads

Hi! I am so fascinating about the computers and digital technology... If we consider a number or a letter they have specific digital codes and compilers convert them into numbers or letters for humans... In computers each and every signal is digitalized,in that case videos are also...

I have some questions about adsorbed natural gas technology to those who knows: 1)Could adsorbed NG be stored at high pressures? Such as 3600 psi? 2)What is difference in energy density between CNG and ANG at the same pressure?(3600 psi)? 3)What is way of adsorbed gas retreival?Do exist...

That's what I got yesterday: As far as I can tell from the headers the mail was really sent from kaust.edu.sa Request to send bank details on the company letterhead smells of fraud for miles for me, but that's the first time I see something like that. Any comments?

I have two questions: 1.) I am interested in nanoscience, specifically in the future development of nanobots and nanofactories. However, from what I've gathered from researching the field, this technology is apparently far off. Nanotechnology at the present seems to be focused on designing...

This is so pathetic. I don't think the average worker should get their pay cut due to bungling politicians. What I do think is that the people that can't seem to do their job and get this fiasco fixed should have their pay stopped as an incentive to actually do something. If they weren't...

Maybe little-bit strange and too specific post. I am trying to find information about this in several forums. Situation: I want to start small manufacturing business. Selfemployment and maybe one or two workers if needed. I want to produce sticky fly paper (in roll, not just board)...

Yeah - we're still serious about this stuff. In February 2011 the Aerospace Nuclear Science and Technology Division (ANSTD) of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) will hold its first stand-alone topical meeting in Albuquerque, NM. The momentum and positive collaborative environment...

I hope this is the right forum for this question. If not, I apologize. I'm looking for a book that details the Apollo systems and how they were used to get us to the moon. Ideally I'd like to see details of the various components, where they fit and what they do. I have some engineering...

Is the evolution of our technology and medicine leading to "de-evolution"? First off, I have a very limited biology background, so I apologize now. Secondly, it's hard to show emotion through typing; what I'm saying in not meant to be derogatory or offensive to anyone. Survival of the...

HP's memristor continues to catch attention as a fundamentally new and disruptive technological component: http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/25018/?a=f The memristor can function as low-power non-volatile memory, and is also capable of performing both logic and memory operations...

Hello everyone, we are a student team at Vienna University of Business and Economics and collaborate with a research institution in a research project to identify new fields of application for an already existing technology. In order to include creative ideas and to ensure impartiality, we do...

The purpose of this thread is to collect information from various users on projects that will be applied by the end of the decade. Information/Computation Internet via Satellite may be more cheaply available and more reliable making internet access anywhere possible. Contact lenses with...

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/19/voice.recognition/index.html?hpt=Sbin And the next step will surely be voice-synthesizing phones that can "speak" text messages to you. Or do these exist already?

have you ever pondered on just how isolated every facet of society is from one another, and our subsequent dependence on technology to stay connected and in cooperation with the rest of the world? with a population nearing 7 billion, no one really knows anyone. A very basic observation, I'm...

I feel a little giddy, so I'm going to poke a little fun at my mom. She may be stupid (still reading mom?? Keep on reading...), but she's cool in that she can laugh at herself, so here goes. Yesterday, my mom finished an essay for her ESL class and needed to print it out. She's had a...

In September 1859, a -1,760nT (nano-Teslas) solar storm hit Earth. Telegraphs in the United States and Europe shorted out, igniting widespread fires. Our technology is very young. How could we preserve it in the event of a solar tempest? Do you think it is possible to dissipate that “energetic...

OK. Weird question. What is a technology that couldn't exist without calculus? Like, a specific engineered artifact -- a bridge, a segway, a waterjet cutter -- that couldn't have come into being without calculus. Not necessarily a hard question, just something I'm pondering for fun. Trying to...

2 years, 2 different kinds of water heaters, 2 flooded apartments. Last time I was fortunate enough that all the leakage went out the door, but when it happened two days ago it flooded my bedroom and closet during the night. Yeah, that was fun...I step out of bed onto the carpet...

A few days ago, I was reading an article on wikipedia about how musical synthesizers work and I read that initially analog technology was used and later digital technology began to be used. What I uderstood from analog technology was that only one part of the sound was altered, which...

According to Ray Kurzweil, human intelligence (both biological and non-biological) will saturate the universe and cause it to "wake up" sometime within a few centuries. Some have also speculated that exponential technological progress could lead to the development of sub-Planckian...
