The Arrival Of The Internet
2978 Words - 11 Pages.... safe technology. Many of the problems seem much worse than they really are. There are certain precautions one must take to avoid some of the dangers associated with the Internet. If these precautions are taken, the Internet should prove safe.
The Internet, simply put, is a bunch of computers that can communicate with one another via telephone lines, optical fibers, radio and satellite links. If one computer goes down the others are linked together to bypass the defective/destroyed computer and get the information to its destination. It's much like a spider web.

New Eye Tracking Techniques Improve Realism Of Aircraft Simulators
458 Words - 2 Pages.... based on the visual properties of the eye, realism can be
obtained by providing a high-resolution 'area of interest' insert within a
large, low-resolution field of view. If the image-generating computer
'knows' where the pilot's fixation is, it mage there.
The technology to make this possible was developed by a research team
headed by Professor Richard Frecker and Professor Moshe Eizenman. The work
was carried out in collaboration with CAE Electronics Ltd. of Montreal with
financial support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada.
Their eye-tracker can record and analyze accurately up to 500 eye
positions per second. The system works by m ....

orbiters, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. One satellite in 20 is
crippled by the jolt of lift-off, or dies in the inferno of a defective rocket
blast, or is thrust into improper orbit. A few simply vanish into the immensity
of space. When a satellite emerges from the rocket's protective shroud,
radiotelemety regularly reports on its health to round-the-clock crews of ground
controllers. They watch over the temperatures and voltages of the craft's
electronic nervous system and other vital "organs", always critical with
machines whose sunward side may be 300 degress hotter than the shaded part.
Once a satellite achieves orbit--that ....

radiation to a hospital patient.2 In cases like these, it is difficult to decide
who's ....
