Introducing our smart contact lens project You’ve probably heard that diabetes is a huge and growing problem—affecting one in every 19 people on the planet. But you may not be familiar with the daily struggle that many people with diabetes face as they try to keep their blood sugar levels under control. Uncontrolled blood sugar puts people at risk for a range of dangerous complications, some short-term and others longer term, including damage to the eyes, kidneys and heart. Many people I’ve talked to say managing their diabetes is like having a part-time job. Over the years, many scientists have investigated various body fluids—such as tears—in the hopes of finding an easier way for people to track their glucose levels. We’re now testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material.
Marissa Mayer Early life and education[edit] Mayer was born in Wausau, Wisconsin, the daughter of Margaret Mayer, an art teacher of Finnish descent,[13] and Michael Mayer, an environmental engineer who worked for water companies.[14][15][16] After her 1993 graduation from Wausau West High School,[17] Mayer was selected by Tommy Thompson, then the Governor of Wisconsin, as one of the state's two delegates to attend the National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia.[18] Mayer graduated with honors from Stanford University with a B.S. in symbolic systems and an M.S. in computer science. For both degrees, her specialization was in artificial intelligence. In 2009, the Illinois Institute of Technology granted Mayer an honoris causa doctorate degree in recognition of her work in the field of search.[19][20] Mayer interned at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, and Ubilab, UBS's research lab based in Zurich, Switzerland.[21][22] Career[edit] Google[edit] Yahoo!

11 Multi-touch and Touch events Javascript libraries Touch screen devices are ruling the mobile platform nowadays. Most of the smart phones have it, tablet and based on the trend, it's slowly come to our desktop as well. To develop a touch screen compatible web applications or website, you can use the existing touch events of the browsers or the platforms. There are two ways to create a touch support app - native or using the web development technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript). QUO JS Events: Touch, Tap, Double tap, Hold, Fingers, Swipe, Swipe Up, Swipe Right, Swipe Down, Swipe Left, DragOther features: Built-in jQuery-like methods.

Imaging - Technology We have developed cutting edge technologies across the complete imaging chain. From capturing photons in orbit to processing pixels on the ground, we have the flexibility to provide global businesses unprecedented transparency. The laws of physics make high-resolution imaging very challenging from small satellites. Our researchers and engineers have experience working on some of the world's most advanced imaging technologies, allowing us to approach the theoretical limits of performance. Telescopes Taking quality pictures from space is hard. Cameras and Sensors Traditional satellites capture imagery like a copier machine — with a line scanner that builds up images row-by-row. Contrary to line scanners, these sensors allow us to capture a video stream. And the best part?
