Engineering On Friday The Test Engineer by Cabe Atwell s2.jpg

>Click the image<

 

 

Truly an overlooked, underappreciated part of the team. Remember, they always make it work.

 

Read some stories from out in the field:

The military's uncelebrated heroes, the Joint Robotics Repair Detachment

Military mechanics go Augmented with help from ARMAR

Why Is My Equipment Being Taken Away?

ESD Testing Does Not Test EMC Susceptibility

Infrastructure Improvement: The Smart Bridge

(More to follow, soon...)

To some extent organic-electronics are natural, but they are not quite picked from the vine.

 

Read about what exactly are organic electronics.

Phillip's ErgoSense monitor constantly watches your posture. It will become annoying in the late afternoon for sure.

Engineering On Friday Electric Avenue by Cabe Atwell.jpg
>Click the image<

 

University of Belgium students created a touchscreen interface using CRT monitors. The system requires a glove laden with phototransistors to work. Cumbersome apparatuses to operate a defunked technology is not a winning combination, except for those with a lot of TVs.

 

I remember Montgomery Ward's Electric Avenue, it seemed like the future to my young eyes. It was the company's first entrance into the budding world of technology. Unfortunately, their last. Or is it?

Engineering On Friday test procedures by Cabe Atwell.jpg

>Click the image<


NASA's Robo-Glove gives a user a grip strength boost. It is possible with only 10 pounds of pressure, 20 pounds or more is experienced between the clutches of the gloves.

 

 

How many objects do you think the NASA test engineers squished with those gloves?

Engineering On Friday robot jockey by Cabe Atwell.jpg

>Click the image<

 

Robot Jockeys replaced child riders in the United Arab Emirates camel racing circuit due to international human rights pressure.

 

Since then, several generations of the robotic riders have come and gone. The latest having arms used to manipulate reigns along with the riding crop.

 

There must be a Robot Jockey superstar in the camel racing world. Others tremble when they see him coming.

Engineering On Friday Time for a new job by Cabe Atwell.jpg

>Click the image<

 

 

The University of New South Wales has created an inexpensive, "perfect," single-atom transistor. The future of electronic devices for sure.

 

Hopefully no one will lose that atom...

engineering on friday kinectforwindows by cabe atwell.jpg

>Click the image<


 

As Kinect for Windows integrates itself into homes, how soon before we all start flailing our arms? I would say this is an accurate depiction of how one might look using the device. Inspired off of my inability to navigate the XBOX Netflix menus with Kinect.

In a recent patent application, Intel Corporation will attempt using sound as a way to authenticate connections between devices. Hopefully it will not make the already noisy coffee shop unbearable.

SOPA seeks to help protect our intellectual property, but what will be lost if it passes?

 

Fingers crossed for rejection.

Engineering On Friday up up and away by cabe atwell.jpg

>Click the image<

 


Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, aka DARPA, built and tested the world's fastest aircraft, the HTV-2. The craft is capable of speeds up to 13,000 mph, mach-20.


During one of the test flights the team lost contact with the HTV-2. I suppose it was a little too fast.

A "You know you are an engineer when.." joke applies here too.

 

Happy Holidays.

Cabe Atwell Engineering On Friday phone interview 2.jpg

>Click the image<



The typical attire worn by a phone interviewee is often enough some variation of the outfit above.

 

Does wearing pajamas or loungewear change how one presents themselves during a phone interview? Similar to how it is recommended to stand during important calls to convey a bit more energy while speaking, perhaps the clothes change our demeanor in the same way.

 

It is like the old chiche:

If the rule demands dressing for the job you want, with no one around, does it matter?
