Display - d-torso Paper craft by Aki Co.,Ltd. The d-torso Mini ADAM & EVE Towers are constructible cardboard craft models made of precision laser-cut parts. The d-torso EVE is made of 123 pieces, and ADAM of 128. With no glue or scissors required for assembly, the models are designed for everyone’s building enjoyment. The d-torso was originally invented by Yuki Matsuoka in 1998 to support his wife’s exhibition of knitwear, and the human shape has been its driving theme ever since. We have developed original technology to shape models of objects not by their outer surfaces, but in precision slices. The d-torso does not have outer surfaces or skin. The d-torso Mini ADAM & EVE Towers are miniature versions of the original EVE Tower & ADAM Tower.

Learn Python - Free Interactive Python Tutorial How to use a multi layered stencil. Stencil overlays. Michael Jackson multi layered stencil from The Stencil Studio. Stenciling Tutorials Single layer stencils will give great results and are very easy to use, simply position the stencil, paint it and then remove it. Multi layered stencils or stencil overlays can be used to paint one colour on top of another with even greater results. It's amazing how a simple design can be transformed into something very impressive, and you don't need to be an artist, just follow our simple steps below. We're going to use The Stencils Studio's 4 layered Michael Jackson stencil for this tutorial but the principle is the same for any number of stencil layers. Layer 1 Start with the background layer, Stencil layer 1. Layer 2 Use the positioning marks on the stencil (not shown) to correctly position the stencil sheet over the previously painted silhouette, choose a different colour, in this case grey, paint the stencil then remove. Layer 3 Repeat the process, it's important to wait for the paint to dry between applying each layer. Layer 4 And that's it, how easy was that! b b

The Maker's Box OSCAR Project OSCAR allows users, regardless of their experience level with a *nix environment, to install a Beowulf type high performance computing cluster. It also contains everything needed to administer and program this type of HPC cluster. OSCAR's flexible package management system has a rich set of pre-packaged applications and utilities which means you can get up and running without laboriously installing and configuring complex cluster administration and communication packages. It also lets administrators create customized packages for any kind of distributed application or utility, and to distribute those packages from an online package repository, either on or off site. OSCAR installs on top of a standard installation of a supported Linux distribution. The default OSCAR setup is generally used for scientific computing using a message passing interface (MPI) implementation, several of which are included in the default OSCAR package set. OSCAR on! OSCAR 6.1.1 has been released! (Read more)
Blog — TRXL 1. The Trippy ’60s, Courtesy of a Master On a recent morning in a townhouse office on East 32nd Street in Manhattan, reality was treading closely, and somewhat strangely, in fiction’s footsteps. The client sitting in the conference room, waiting for his real-life ad man, was the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner. 2. The old days of studio largesse are over—even for Spielberg, arguably the most powerful and versatile filmmaker in Hollywood. 3. ...Archimedes, the greatest mathematician of antiquity, realized the power of the infinite. 4. This is about how I’m seeing a single company, single handedly, through mismanagement, incompetence, and above all, complete and utter ignorance, is doing rampant harm to a wider industry on which at least a part of their own existence depends. There are some obvious parallels to the architecture industry in this article. 5. A while ago you had the chance to ask inventor Alan Adler about making the perfect cup of coffee and throwing things really far.
Hydrobee Harvests Water Energy for USB Power to Go by Burt Hamner The idea for Hydrobee came naturally. The co-founders of Hydrobee SPC, Burt and Dane, first worked together at Hydrovolts, a company Burt founded in 2007 to make hydrokinetic turbines for big water systems like irrigation canals. Burt hired Dane as the industrial designer. After Burt grew the company to 11 people Hydrovolts was sold to one of its investors early in 2013. Burt had learned that some makers of hands-free faucets and toilets are using tiny turbines in water pipes to power the remote sensors. And he saw that USB is becoming the global power standard for phones and billions of gadgets. Burt rebuilt a small turbine from a water flow-meter and confirmed that it made over 18V from his home water faucet, enough to charge several phones at once. Our design advantage: Few inventors are lucky enough to work with an industrial designer like Dane Roth. Soda-sized for a reason! The Hydrobee Turbine Battery is exactly the size and shape of a 12-ounce soda can. Hydrobee Turbine Battery:

PVM: Parallel Virtual Machine PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software package that permits a heterogeneous collection of Unix and/or Windows computers hooked together by a network to be used as a single large parallel computer. Thus large computational problems can be solved more cost effectively by using the aggregate power and memory of many computers. The software is very portable. The source, which is available free thru netlib, has been compiled on everything from laptops to CRAYs. PVM enables users to exploit their existing computer hardware to solve much larger problems at minimal additional cost. Hundreds of sites around the world are using PVM to solve important scientific, industrial, and medical problems in addition to PVM's use as an educational tool to teach parallel programming. Current PVM News: Current articles from PVM news group comp.parallel.pvm PVM Supported Architectures PVM Documentation: Project Overview A short overview of PVM and its features.
