and we know that DHS has purchased billions of rounds of ammunition to use domestically (DHS does not operate overseas).
Marvin Andujar and Chris Crawford, have built a mind-machine method to control a drone through a wearable electroencephalographic (EEG) Brain-Computer Interface device.
The drone operates based on user cognitive commands. When the user thinks forward, the drone moves forward towards the direction it is facing.
While the drone flies, the user is able to view the flight from FPV (first-person view) via a front-facing camera. his project serves as the beginning of brain-machine control as a human-centric application says Marvin Andujar

#Sonar-Powered Drone Wants to Be Your Fishing Buddy The Aguadrone is a quadcopter that uses sonar to tell you where the catch is.
So far, theye developed three main functions for their drone. hen fishing from the beach,

All of them screw on and off the bottom of the drone for easy swapping. The Fish Scout pod is a self-contained sonar device that finds fish underwater.
It is used similar technology in fishing vessels but as a drone, it offers a lot more flexibility and usability.
The drone can easily land in water and fly back up. For communication the Fish Scout pod creates its own Wi-fi connection with an impressive 320-foot range.

#Microsoft is building a drone army to catch mosquitoes and stop epidemics One potential use for drones that you might not have thought about is preventing the spread of disease.
Microsoft has launched just an initiative called Project Premonition, with the aim of detecting viruses before they infect a significant number of people using a fleet of Unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVS).
the impact of drone technology and number of saved lives could be huge. The key is in catching mosquitoes
by sending out portable drones that are able to cover far more distance and come back to base with bigger samples.
the drones will need to operate semi-autonomously as well as being directed by a human pilot: having the ability to navigate environments on their own ensures they can travel greater distances and cover more land.

It would be great to use autonomous robots for dangerous work--to defuse bombs and clean up nuclear disasters such as the Fukushima event.
But amlexanox also triggers the release of the hormone interleukin-6 from these fat cells which then travels in the circulation to the liver.
Today transformers are installed in stiff steel tanks. The risk of explosions can be reduced if the industry changes to soft housings that absorb energy in the same way as modern car bodies he says.
and extremely rapid pressure build up in the transformer tank. If the tank ruptures combustible gases will leak out.
If these are ignited an explosion will follow and any combustible materials in the vicinity of the transformer can catch fire.
The fire may also be fed with oil from the tank. If so it will keep burning Two different measures are adopted usually to prevent fire and explosion incidents of this sort:#
#Additionally transformer tanks are reinforced by means of welded steel beams in order to make them withstand pressure rises
On one hand the transformer tanks are able to withstand more pressure than they could have done without the reinforcement on the other the extra stiffness means that they cannot expand
Moreover stresses occur within the material of the tank increasing the probability that it will rupture.
Our idea is to design transformer tanks in such a way that they expand when their internal pressure increases without risking that major rises in tension
With better knowledge and new mathematical models we will be able to observe the relationships between the physics of electric arcs the transformer tank and the electrical protection system.

and collaborators discovered the bacteria in soil at an old uranium ore mill in Rifle, Colorado, almost 200 miles west of Denver.
The site is one of nine such mills in Colorado used during the heyday of nuclear weapons production.
The Rutgers team was able to isolate the uranium-breathing bacterium in the lab by recognizing that uranium in samples from the Rifle site could be toxic to microorganisms as well as humans.
What Kerkhof is optimistic about is the potential for these bacteria to mitigate the specific groundwater pollution problem in Rifle.
"There is depleted uranium in a lot of armor-piercing munitions, "he said, "so places like the Middle east that are experiencing war could be exposed to high levels of uranium in the groundwater
The researchers are also building a lab prototype of an enhanced combat helmet with NS honeycomb cells integrated that will be completed this fall.
This then triggers a systemic inflammatory response from the body's immune cells, similar to a serious infection episode.
That's because the bacterial endotoxins that leach into the blood as a result of extreme exercise, triggers the body's immune cells into action."
But some bees become drones others sterile female workers, and still others the queen. Much of this differentiation can be attributed to epigenomics,

The quantity of gas that passes through the meter is determined by collecting the gas in a large tank and measuring its average temperature and pressure,
However, the process of collecting the gas in large tanks generates temperature gradients (different temperatures in different parts of the tank

In a second set of experiments, described in a forthcoming paper, they filled the tank with argon gas
From the frequencies and the pressure, they deduced the mass of the argon in the tank.
Finally, they heated the top of the tank to establish a temperature difference across the gas of 4%of the average gas temperature.

These micro-drones, which can be deployed from military aircraft at altitudes close to 50,000 feet and still fit in the palm of your hand,
could represent the next big thing in the way wars are waged. Think military infestations rather than military invasions.
the U s. Naval Research Laboratory released these micro-drones 57,600 feet in the air, let them free fall 11 miles in the sky,
just as the Black Hornet mini helicopter drones were used by The british Army in Afghanistan to detect Taliban fighting units.
Some of the scenarios outlined by the U s. Naval Research Laboratory include dropping CICADA drones tens of thousands of feet above enemy lines,
they might even be able to pick up the movement of submarines below the water surface.
The fascinating part of the CICADA program is how these micro drones could eventually be used as part of a obotic swarmto overwhelm an adversary.
An enemy may be able to defend against several of these drones, but just try to defend against a giant swarm of them launched out of the back of a plane.
And, in fact, there a growing literature about so-called obotic swarmswhich are essentially drones or bots that can be programmed to behave intelligently during combat.
And best of all, these bots and drones can form warmswithout the need for humans to control them.
In another related experiment, the U s. Naval Research Laboratory showed how a group of 13 warm boatsall of them without requiring a human drone operator could be used to protect a high-value naval vessel.
capable of launching whole fleets of mini-drones at one time. Or, better yet, how about underwater aircraft carriers?
As Peter W. Singer, an expert on drones and warfare, pointed out about recent DARPA initiatives,
Yes, that right underwater aircraft carriers for drones. In yet another experiment, the U s. Naval Research Laboratory showed that it was possible to release a drone from a submerged submarine with the robotic drone shot out of a Tomahawk missile tube.
As the drone emerges from the tube, its wings unfold before it speeds off to its destination.
Mind blown. What makes micro aerial vehicles such as the CICADA so attractive of course, is that theye cheap to make
And as more uses are found for these micro-drones, it easy to see the price falling further.
Theye not sophisticated drones that you have to learn how to pilot. You just load them up in a plane
which suggests that there just aren enough drone pilots out there to keep up with the military use of drones.
so in the potential applications of these micro CICADA drones. Remember when the future of warfare was bigger bigger missile payloads, bigger tanks and bigger warplanes?
In an era of asymmetric warfare, tiny innovations such as the CICADA are what might be needed to take the fight to the enemy in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
If giant swarms of insect-like drones can save the lives of U s. soldiers abroad,
