Blog | Douglas Trumbull - Immersive Media and Visual Effects Douglas Trumbull has built and photographed a video of a scale model experiment depicting a possible solution to the Deepwater Horizon oil leak, which continues to spew millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Trumbull has been studying all available information regarding the wellhead, blowout preventer, broken riser pipe, and other factors such as flow rate and pressure. "My team and I have begun to suspect that the current wisdom regarding the pressure of the oil flow is substantially incorrect, and that the flow of oil could be readily captured with a simple “Vacuum Manifold Cap” as depicted in the video," Trumbull said. "Our experiment involved the construction of a saltwater tank, and associated plumbing, pumps, gauges, and flow controls to simulate in miniature what the Deepwater Horizon oil flow looks like at 50,000 barrels per day."
How to Scan a Book Edit Article Scanning (Photocopying) a BookScanning by Speed-Reading Edited by Harry Honda, Smurfs, Faflic, Flickety and 18 others Scanning a book can refer to two different things: Reading a book quickly or converting physical pictures of books into digital files.

The Mad Dash Toward Touch Technology Buried within the current mad scramble towards touch and multitouch technologies lies an important lesson in innovation: "God is in the details" (Ludwig Mies van der Rohe). So while executives and marketers all seem to be saying, "It has to have touch," I am more inclined to say that anyone who describes a product as having a "touch interface" is likely unqualified to comment on the topic. The granularity of the description is just too coarse. Everything—including touch—is best for something and worst for something else. True innovators needs to know as much about when, why, and how not to use an otherwise trendy technology, as they do about when to use it. The photo above shows four watches in my collection. When Fat Fingers Meet Small Targets Watch (a) is the Casio AT-550. The whole screen is used for entering each character, thereby bringing the scale of the action well within the bounds of normal human finger motor control. Watch (b) is the Casio TC-50.

The objective of change management in this context is to ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes to control IT infrastructure, in order to minimize the number and impact of any related incidents upon service. Changes in the IT infrastructure may arise reactively in response to problems or externally imposed requirements, e.g. legislative changes, or proactively from seeking improved efficiency and effectiveness or to enable or reflect business initiatives, or from programs, projects or service improvement initiatives. Change Management can ensure standardized methods, processes and procedures which are used for all changes, facilitate efficient and prompt handling of all changes, and maintain the proper balance between the need for change and the potential detrimental impact of changes. A change is an event that is:
