explique que les premiers à adopter la technologie d'impression 3D pourrait avoir un avantage sur ses rivaux de l'innovation STAMFORD, Conn., March 26, 2013 View All Press Releases By 2016, Enterprise-Class 3D Printers Will Be Available for Under $2,000 3D printing is disrupting the design, prototyping and manufacturing processes in a wide range of industries, according to Gartner, Inc. “3D printing is a technology accelerating to mainstream adoption,” said Pete Basiliere, research director at Gartner. The material science behind 3D printing processes and materials will continue to progress, and affordable 3D printers are lowering the cost of entry into manufacturing in the same way that e-commerce lowered the barriers to the sale of goods and services. “Businesses must continuously monitor advances to identify where improvements can be leveraged,” said Mr. 3D printing is already established in industries ranging from automotive manufacturing to consumer goods to the military, as well as the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Another possibility is for roving display vans to visit the retailer's stores.

The Anatomy of the Turntable For DJs this feature is a necessity, the pitch fader is used to adjust the speed of the spinning platter within a specified range (-/+) measured in percentage. Different turntables offer altering pitch settings, ranging from +/-8% to +/-16% and even going as high as +/-50%. The control is primarily adjusted in order to match the beat of another record thus creating a seamless mix. Records are delicate and so is your precious stylus, so a perfectly calibrated counterweight is essential if you want to ensure listening longevity. Perfect anti-skate calibration maximises the longevity of your records. The cue lever allows you to gently raise and lower the tone arm. Pretty self-explanatory, not only is the tone arm supposed to rest on this plastic protrusion whilst idle, but it is usually accompanied by a retractable clip that holds the tone arm in place, preventing it from wandering and swivelling mindlessly. These determine the amount of rotations per minute that the platter will spin at.

Dreambox: Une machine d'impression 3D distributeurs While some researchers are looking to bring 3D printing to the masses with milk jugs, one company is looking to another common fixture in our everyday lives: vending machines. That's right, 3D printing on demand. Dreambox, the company behind the product (of the same name), says it came up with the product idea while at the University of California-Berkeley where they were running into problems with inaccessible 3D printing and slow turnaround time from online 3D printing services. The hope with the vending machine model is that everyone has convenient, affordable access to 3D printing. "Having an item 3D printed with a Dreambox is as simple as uploading or choosing a design online, clicking the “Print” button and retrieving the item once it’s ready," the company says. Ordering your printed designs can be done online or designs can be unloaded using a USB stick at the machine. And here you can watch the Dreambox printing its orders. Related on SmartPlanet:

Build Your Own Adobe Creative Suite with Free and Cheap Software Pourquoi les entreprises devraient adopter impression 3D Three-dimensional printing is moving from niche to mainstream. And companies that don't start looking into how the technology could improve business will be at an innovative disadvantage to rivals who are taking the technology seriously. That's the main message in a new report from Gartner, a leading IT research and advisory company. The report says that while 3D printing is gaining broader acceptance, now is a good time to experiment with the technology -- looking for ways to be more efficient, save money, and improve products -- because the prices for 3D printers are falling and will continue to decline. "Early adopters can experiment with 3D printers with minimal risk of capital or time, possibly gaining an advantage in product design and time to market over their competition, as well as understanding the realistic material costs and time to build parts," the report said. For major multinational corporations, Gartner sees a market for selling 3D printing supplies.

Tridentine Liturgical Calendar – Joe Antognini If you use any electronic calendar application (Google Calendar, iCalendar, Yahoo Calendar, etc.), you can subscribe to the public calendar below to add feast dates to your calendar. This calendar was marked using the 1962 Roman Catholic rubrics. There are two versions of the calendar: one for web-based calendar users like Google Calendar and Yahoo Calendar, and one for native apps like iCalendar. The web-based version uses HTML to format the links whereas the native version will simply present the raw URLs. Each feast comes with links to additional information about the feast, saint (if applicable), and season. When two feasts conflict, the lower-ranking feast is prepended with a ‘›’ so you know which takes precedence. Here is a preview of the calendar: The code that was used to generate this calendar can be found at this link.

Projet de création d'imprimés 3D-moonbase dévoilé We've put man on the moon. Perhaps setting up a 3D moonbase will be the next step. There is some unusual uses for 3D printing. Everything from the revamp of food design to meat, printable robots or purchasing 3D replicas of yourself in place of taking photos. Janjaap Ruijssenaars from Amsterdam-based Universe Architecture has created the concept of an "endless" 3D printed house, created from slot-in components that can be printed and then reinforced at otherwise-weak joints. The European Space Agency (ESA) and architecture firm Foster + Partners have decided to jump on the 3D printing bandwagon, and are exploring the idea of using three-dimensional printing to create buildings -- but not on Earth. Instead, engineering teams from both parties are investigating the properties of lunar soil, known as regolith, to see if this material could be used in order to print "bricks" for a moonbase -- solving the sticky issue of transporting construction materials from our planet.

How to enable Google Chrome Incognito Mode detection blocking Snail's pace no more: Chrome working on faster browsing featureGoogle is trying out a 'Never-Slow Mode' for speedier browsing. If you are browsing the web using Google Chrome's Incognito Mode, chances are you don't want websites to know that you are doing so. Unfortunately, it's been possible for sites to know if you are using this feature for a while now, and use this information to block your browsing. Until now. Google has today released Chrome 74 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it comes with a really handy feature to prevent websites from being able to tell if you are browsing in Incognito Mode... but you have to turn it on. Must read: iPhone battery draining fast after installing iOS 12.2? Websites could tell if users were browsing in Incognito Mode because it blocked access to the "FileSystem" API. But this feature is not turned on automatically. First, make sure you are using Chrome version 74. Until now. Must read: iPhone battery draining fast after installing iOS 12.2? x Learn More

Équipes néerlandaises joindre à la course de la construction d'impression 3D de course Work is due to begin on the world's first 3D printed canal house, as Dutch architects sign up for the 3D construction frenzy. There's little doubt that successfully building the world's first 3D printed construction suitable for habitation will bring its own fame and glory. We've already had Dutch firm Universe Architecture declaring its intentions to build an "endless" 3D printed house, and even the European Space Agency has decided to cash in on the technology by 3D printing a moon base. See also: Plan to create 3D-printed moonbase unveiled However, Dutch architecture studio DUS Architects also want a slice of the action. The 3D canal boat will be placed by the Buiksloter-canal in northern Amsterdam. The project is aimed at research and educating people about the 3D printing process, and the 3D canal boat will be part of a public research center. Via: CNET Image credit: DUS Architects Related:

Visualization and comparison of sorting algorithms in C# In this article, I introduce you to an updated version of Kanasz Robert's "Sort Comparison" project. Table Of Contents Introduction This is an update to the excellent work of Kanasz Robert, in which he presented a project which visualizes and compares sorting algorithms. Sorting Algorithms Mr. In this version, Bucket Sort was removed because the code functionally matched Pigeonhole Sort. Counting Sort Counting Sort, similar to Pigeonhole Sort, is a sorting algorithm which is not a comparison sort, so it uses about 2n comparisons (for finding the minimum and maximum in the first pass) when sorting the data. Merge Sort Double Storage Merge Sort is a sorting algorithm which uses a divide-and-conquer recursion to sort small partitions and then combine those partitions into larger ones. Radix Sort Radix Sort is a non-comparitive integer sorting algorithm which works very fast and can even beat Quicksort. Smoothsort The code is about 560 lines, so please download the project to see it. Timsort Mr.
