ADS: Weapon Evolution: Pain like fire, Injury is zero

As you know always technology is very invasive in itself. It is Unstoppable always. As far as War Weapons are concerned, researches and inventions have been imaginable. Think of a weapon which hit you with the heat and that much heat which is unbearable, it may result in to severe skin burn. You won’t be able to bear for more than 2 seconds and no injury. Researchers are really incredible in this sense. I am talking about ADS (Active Denial System). Now lets us understand what basic fundamentals are, which makes this weapon so effective.

If we try to understand in Lehman language, then this is nothing but electromagnetic or we can say laser rays which generated massive heat on the things it is applied. If we go in to the specification of this system, it generates electromagnetic radiations with the frequency of 95 GHz. Simply think that you are being in to Microwave for two seconds and how will you feel. Let us understand what happen when that laser rays touch to your skin. This ray goes dip to say 1/64 inches and pokes in the skin. Biologically "ye hota hai ki" fat molecule and water gets excited which is painful for nervous system. Except this it has very good range of around 500 metres to 600 metres minimum to make a strong effect. As far as eyes are concerned, then blinking of eyes is the solution which doesn’t harm the eyes much. It has even very less effect to result in to the cancer or other skin problems. You might be thinking that how this could be a very useful weapon?

Seeing to the feasibility and usability, this is very much useful to disburse the crowd, to stop group attack and most important thing is it’s so powerful that it difficult for normally dress body to resist from this rays. This technology becomes useful for torturing "high profile" prisoners. US army have deployed this in the Afghanistan but it was not so fruitful application of this technology. In the Image you can see that this is generally mounted on the Humvee (US army hummer type vehicle). This can be an alternate to control mass opposition where CRPF and Para-military force need to take offensive action of tear gas and water-shot to control crowd. This could be effective and safe alternative. Technology is ever Unstoppable.

Robots that learns from the Human activities

Pieter Abbel, Professor of University of California have designed a robert which have sort   of intelligence to learn the activities from the human. Briefing about the Pieter, He has been selected in the top 35 innovators round the globe for exceptional innovation. Pieter thinks that the robotics is the very prime area of innovations seeing to the scientific world after 15 to 20 years.  

Robot learns seeing human to performs the task. Other robots needs to programmed to perform some task which limits the robustness of the robots. Where as this robot is very robust in itself. I can make a laundry for his master or it can fly model plane by itself. Usually robots are used in the Manufacturing areas to do task repeatedly and accurately as for that they are programmed stereotype. This is an extension to usability of robot in the near future for day today work because advancement in Artificial Intelligence.

It was illustrated by the robot how it can fold the towels seeing and learning from humans. This robot has been programmed to program itself on the observance of activity by the perception mechanism to figure out what to perform for accomplishment of task. It identifies the crumbled tovel on the table and by the camera sensors oh its so called head helps instructing its arms to fold perfectly like our moms. This type of robots will be a revolution in the day to day life of people but one thing to think is that is it feasible even after 20 years to have robots to complete house hold work. 

Video Stabilization Processing on YouTube

As a result of IEEE conference on computer vision and pattern recognition, Google researchers have designed algorithm to stabilize the recording of video. Many a times when amateur records a video, it seems very unsteady recording because of lack in steadiness of hand. So, now Google has answer to this problem after good research. YouTube the largest video streaming site by Google is jewelled with this functionality in the video editor it have recently.

Algorithm which is developed for this is working quite efficiently and still enhancement are expected regularly on this. Algorithm set a Key element in the video and it checks for the fluctuations in the frames. It crops the additional area which is recorded and focus on the key element which reduces the fluctuation visibility as shown in image. It designs some path to modify the video and choose the best where video is crop least and can get the best output. Still it is a challenging task to handle the shakiness because of the unstable base of say recording while walking. Researchers are still trying to optimize so that user interference get decreased and results get enhanced. The processing of video is done server side obviously, and it is done by distributed computing that means by using multiple machines to process one video at real time. This increases the speed of processing and gives a user delightful experience. Google is always unstoppable on its part.
