- 671: Limitations on Robotic Technology
- ... meltdown site in Chernobyl (Osborn 1). This robot is programmed to go in and survey and monitor different types of the landscapes. The high level of radiation keeps humans at a distance, but they can control the robot via two-way communication. Pioneer is a robot that is controlled by humans and does not have any software to allow it to make decisions on its own. With today's technology, robots ... robot is a very good example of a robot that is with-in limitations. This robot does good by the way that it lets humans get out of harms way and still allows humans to control the situation. The availability of robots surpasses that of humans because robots have no need for sleep, food, or personal needs. The elderly and ill spend thousands of dollars on twenty-four nursing care each ... humans then limits need to be set to keep these robots from becoming too good and too smart. An example of the type of limit that needs to be implemented is to have humans that control the robots at a distance, not to have the robots completely on their own. This still gives the humans a challenge but without having the risk of an unpredictable robot. In conclusion, robots do ...
- 672: The Flying Men
- ... in relatively controllable aircraft. "In 1900, they built a much larger glider with 17-foot wings. Instead of a tail, it had a rubber, or moveable horizontal surface, in front of the wings, which would control the up-and-down movement of the nose." (Williams 34). "The Wright brothers took this glider out to Kitty Hwak, Noth Carolina, where a strong, steady wind blew over a low hill of bare sand ... it, first flying it controlled from ground without a pilot, then piloted but tethered, and finally as a free-flying glider. After many flights, and a few crashes, they discovered the rubber helped the horizontal control to such an extent that the pilot could easily land the glider. By the end of October, the Wrights had learned all they could from their 1900 glider and returned to Dayton to desing another ... and experimentation using a wind tunnel (a long box with a fan at one end) used to stimulate the movement of a wing through the air. "The number 3 glider included the front elevator to control pitch, the nose moving up and down, the wing warping system to control rolling, tipping from side to side. They added a tail, two fixed vertical fins at the rear to prevent turns from ...

- ... compulsion, legal or otherwise, to share power over the system with them." If operators do happen to share power with other operators and with users, "at any time . . . [they] can take back all power and control, unless they have made contracts with users preventing them from doing so" (31-2). In addition to setting their own rules at the start, Rose notes, "[system operators] can also change those rules at any ... directly linked to illegal happenings. That is, system operators are worried about system seizures and due to such fears, they assert no privacy. What it all boils down to is this: system operators have full control over their systems and are the ultimate decision makers in determining how much privacy users will receive. Users can take two courses of action: they can abide by the operators rules or take their business ... that apply to privacy and how complicated it will be in the future to come up with a concrete law about privacy on the internet. Once again, though laws exist to protect users' privacy, ultimate control lies in the hands of the operator. A brief look into private companies now exploiting the internet exposes this. What About Privacy In The Workplace Aside from the ECPA, many workers feel that personal ...

Furthermore, space, control, and the user are all segments that consist of the Global Positioning System. Global Positioning System in my opinion is one the greatest inventions are government every designed, and as you will see the ability ... The satellites continuously broadcast position and time data to users throughout the world." (Navcen) These satellites send radio signals from space to earth so that we can read the correct data. The next is the control segment, which is main part of this operation for this to work. The control segment consists of five Monitor Stations, and they are in Hawaii, Kwajalein, Ascension Island, Diego Garcia, and Colorado Springs. There are also three ground antennas located in Ascension Island, Kwajalein, and Diego Garcia. The ...

- 678: The Manhattan Project
- ... for separating isotopes of uranium was developed and installed in the Oak Ridge gaseous diffusion plant. Finally, in 1945, uranium-235 of bomb purity was shipped to Los Alamos, where it was fashioned into a gun-type weapon. In a barrel, one piece of uranium was fired at another, together forming a supercritical, explosive mass. To achieve chain-reaction fission, a certain amount of fissile material, called critical mass, is necessary ... achieve critical mass instantaneously . When critical mass is achieved, continuous fission (a chain reaction) takes place in an extremely short period of time, and far more energy is released than in the case of a gun-powder explosion. On December 2, 1942, the first self- sustaining chain reaction with cadmium took place, overseen by Enrico Fermi, in the University of Chicago squash fields. Another type of atomic bomb was also constructed ... plutonium by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. At Los Alamos the plutonium was surrounded with high explosives to compress it into a super dense, super critical mass far faster than could be done in a gun barrel. The result was tested at Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945, and was the first explosion of an atomic bomb code-named Trinity. However, all was not that easy coming up to ...

I listened a moment for others; I could hear nobody else. It was time. I tapped Instants steel helmet. There was a nearly inaudible click as Instant released the safety on the M60 machine gun. Then all hell broke loose. I blinked at the loud thumping of the M60. With each burst, it threw a golden shower of brass into my line of vision. I strained to see through ...
- 680: Bioremediation Of Explosives In Contaminated Soil
- ... million dollars compared with incinerating the contaminated soils. In addition to saving money, composting will also avoid the need for burning fossil fuels and will produce an end product usable for backfilling, landscaping, or erosion control. Introduction Whether people know it or not explosives, such as tnt, are a very important part of their lives. Since World War I, munitions have been manufactured in the United States using a variety of ... a Superfund Site at Umatilla Army Depot, OR. TNT reductions were as high as 99.7% and removals of RDX and HMX were 99.8% and 96.8%.(Smith, 1999) For sites requiring greater process control, more complete degradation, or where the cost of importing compost ingredients is prohibitive, soil slurry biotreatment or "bioslurry" is a bioremediation option. The contaminated materials are mixed into a slurry to allow contact between the ... concern that plants and long-term exposure to weather may eventually release these products. (Smith, 1999) The Plant Uptake project consisted of five elements: shipping finished compost from Umatilla Army Depot Activity to TVA, producing control compost from soil and amendments shipped from Umatilla to TVA, developing and testing analytical methods, conducting greenhouse studies, and conducting long-term weathering studies. All testing was conducted at TVA’s Facility in Muscle ...
