Check out this gadget that can have a number of applications, but here it is used to verify age. It is a unit that when a state issued driver’s license is “swiped” it will output the age of the person and whether the license is a fake or not. Here it is being used by a convenience store in an effort to aid in not selling alcohol to minors. There is another possible issue with this particular store, they bought this unit because they kept getting caught selling beer to underage buyers. Hope it helps.

So, you think your snowblower is big? Check out this one!







This goes far beyond the snowblowers that most of us use. In fact, I don’t think it truly qualifies as a “gadget”… or does it? Just imagine the power. Look at how far that snow is shooting out of the top of that thing. Look at the size of those augers! Unbelievable!

Why not take a few extra minutes and find a nice selection of useful or unusual gifts that will make you remembered well by the receiver of the gift.

Take for example this gift that will surely be remembered and at the same time be a welcome addition to any kitchen. It is called a Butter Bell butter crock and though it appeals to those of us that are gadget addicts, it is quite useful too.

Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer Simulation Software

One of the most best ways to reduce costs in any building project is to eliminate mistakes. Mistakes cause different aspects of a building project to have to be built, torn down, and then rebuilt. This can lead to huge budget over runs for the builder or investor and in a worst case scenario could cause a project to no longer be financially viable.

One of the best ways to eliminate mistakes is to anticipate possible areas where mistakes can happen. The engineering design simulation software by Flomerics is the way to accomplish this. Test out physical aspects of the building project, including valve analysis, before they are built and you know ahead of time what to expect and if a plan will work.

Using simulation software like this during the planning stage can save a huge amount of time and money in the long run.

AHRS In Action

AHRS in Action

AHRS is normally used to provide continuous outputs of position, velocity, and attitude of the vehicle during those intervals of time between successive inputs from instruments and observations which are most precise. For example, an aircraft in which the present invention may be installed, may be capable of obtaining precise radio navigation information at intervals, and AHRS is capable of responding to these more precise inputs to provide continuous position outputs. Even if the reference dynamic variable from the more precise instruments is available continuously, the AHRS system can use that information as an input to provide more accurate estimation of certain other dynamic variables. For example, in the present invention an estimator of heading angle is obtained by mathematical integration of the sensed rate of change of heading angle. Simultaneously, a measurement of heading angle is made by a flux sensor and this magnetic heading is used as a reference dynamic variable and is continually compared with the estimator of heading angle. The updated estimator of heading angle is used in turn to obtain estimates of the vehicle’s latitude and longitude and to obtain a correction for earth rate which is used in calculating the pitch and roll attitude angles of the vehicle.

The AHRS of the present invention is of the type known as a “strapdown” inertial measurment instrument. This means that the instrument, specifically the sensors from which the instrument obtains information, are rigidly fixed to the frame of the vehicle. For example, a linear accelerometer is mounted to the vehicle with its sensitive axis fixed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, which may differ from the direction of motion of the vehicle. Thus, the information that is obtained by the instruments for use by the system of the present invention is referenced to the vehicle rather than to the earth. In this sense, the instruments and their measurements are referred to as “vehicle-oriented” rather than “earth-oriented”. The present invention includes provision for converting the vehicle-oriented measurements to earth-oriented measurements.
