Artificial Intelligent Birds

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Currently there is much research and development and prototype testing of unmanned aerial vehicles. They’re getting smaller in size and more robust and features. Today our unmanned aerial vehicles are loaded with a myriad of sensors including; radar, lidar, sonar, infrared, etc.

Indeed, with all this research and monies been channeled in the direction of unmanned aerial vehicles we have noticed that the sensors and equipment in order to provide these functions of autonomous flight are getting smaller. In fact, there are now leading researchers who are building unmanned aerial vehicles the size of a hummingbird, which have three axis autopilots and all the sensors mentioned above.

Does this mean we can build artificially intelligent birds capable of autonomous flight? Capable of learning to maneuver them selves based on wind flow and speed or direction of travel or manipulating their position in the relative wind? Indeed so. But what will we use these artificially intelligent birds for? Could we use them to help steer potentially infected birds with bird flu or West Nile virus away from our cities?

Obviously, there are many military applications for surveillance as well as applications in policing. The future of artificially intelligent birds is nearly upon us. It is a bird or plane? It’s super bird. Consider this in 2006.

A Sober Evaluation of Renting Games Online

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Prior to the age of neworked computers, if you required to hire computer games, you used to have to run to the mall, roam along endless displays before you spotted the title you were hunting for, and then have to race to the shop the following day in order to avoid getting hit with overdue charges. With the new availability of online computer game rentals, this is relegated to the past.

This innovative kind of facility grants you the freedom to have fun playing your favored choices avoiding all such constraints and hassles. To receive the most from that subscription, find following a number of useful hints and tips for you.

Opt for The Right Net Computer Game Rental Subscription

If you begin to lease video games on the internet, you’ll want to decide how inclusive a subscription to purchase. You don’t want to select too small a choice and have no more gaming time prior to the conclusion of that rental period, but you shouldn’t spend more than you need to, either. First off settle on the amount of titles and the volume of usage you’ll typically require each week. Have A List Of Your Favorite Net Game Rentals

You’ll discover that, on rare occasion, providers of online game rentals have all copies of a certain game out on rental, especially in the case of eminently fashionable or, equally small run titles. To prevent any disruption in your playing, jot down a selection of games you want to play and make a point to keep it updated. Ensuring that if the game at the top of your list is unavailable the supplier send you a substitute title. If you are aware that a certain game is going to be a hassle to get, start your list with it to improve the possibility of obtaining it as quickly as you can.

When renting video games on the net, the rental deal tallies with you and your life rather than pressuring you into adjusting to the supplier’s program. It’s also exceedingly easy and inexpensive to use, and with these simple hints you can attain the greatest returns when subscribing for computer games online…

Tornado Energy Generator?

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

If you consider a Tornado and its awesome power would it be wise to build our own Tornado maker machines to make energy with? After all the Tornado more resembles a virtual heat generator than anything else? Well, why not make one and then use the energy to power up our towns? Oh great you say this bozo wants to make Tornadoes; forget you buddy; you are nuts you say? Yah, well sure, I have been called that too amongst other things but hear me out on this.

What if we build large tubular silos and allow for airflow in the bottom and re-circulation of the airflows out the top and back around and allow the tornado to continue to suck out side air in? Put the silos near areas where there is sufficient airflow already to keep it wound up to provide maximum wind power; for instance in a canyon.

Basically it becomes a vortex wind turbine upright generator. Inside would a sleeve with strakes or fins on it, which would turn and generate the power? We could collect energy two ways; one from the spinning sleeve and the second way by collecting the ionic flows of electrons from the friction of the air as it moves thru and back around like a turbo to go thru the system again. Can it be done? Sure it can, will it? Indeed, some worthy entrepreneur will build one some day; you watch. Consider all this in 2006.

Camouflage Applications for Convoys in the Field

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Spray on Dirt is a great idea indeed to quickly repaint, temporarily vehicles in military convoys. When moving large convoys through the battlefield it is necessary to conceal his best possible your troops movements.

Today with satellites in space and unmanned aerial vehicles in the sky; there are all eyes everywhere. It is therefore very important to conceal your location as long as possible and hopefully see your enemy before they see you and fire upon them before they know what happened.

The idea of spray on dirt therefore makes sense, however many military tactics advisers say that spray on dirt is an expensive process, requires expert training and adds vehicles to the convoy and personnel to do the job. It just does not makes sense to put more than is absolutely needed at risk in the war zone.

Indeed, my thoughts are to KISS, simple equipment, basic application, fast, efficient and on the go. When advancing in the Modern Net-Centric Battlespace, speed is important. If a piece of hardware, one man submarine, Humvee, even a robotic Sandia “Sarge” type unit needs to be concealed then such a quick application system makes sense. Robotic arm could easily do a smaller unit to camouflage its self. Consider all those in 2006.

Franchise All World Governments

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Many have debated whether we should have “One World Government” or not? And indeed the tries so far have somewhat under whelmed us all, as it seems whenever we get everyone together they all have different ideas on how civilizations should be run and all wish to do things in their own way. It is hard to try to merge all the world government into one cohesive group, as it may mean they will be giving up some power and control for the betterment of all. This is a hard thing to ask of a hard headed steadfast leader, which is one of human traits one must have to be a leader in the politics of human civilizations in the first place.

What if the World Governments operated like a Franchise. The UN, the Franchisor could be like a Franchise Opportunity for emerging Nations franchising their government structure. Regional Areas could operate like Master Franchise Opportunities and each Nation could be a Franchisee. Then everyone would be part of the same team and join in a common cause to battle disasters, disease and human rights for the betterment of all mankind; A franchise for the human race?

If we set up the World Franchise Systems, while simultaneously set up the next human generations for success and not failure; then the plan with the proper synergy could work. For those who chose to live longer through life extension technologies, they could life within a safer world without the chaos and strife and be a testament of the past periods and be sure not to let poor planned history repeat. A World Franchise System could easily be translated into every language and using current technology and we could accomplish our mission of world cooperation and work towards a common cause. Then the move towards a one-world government would not be in vein as we would then be able to fix the world in our present period and set in motion a plan, which can work far into the future. Still thinking on this and need you input so, be thinking on this in 2006.

Artificial Intelligent Android Apprenticeships

Friday, August 29th, 2008

They say that practice makes perfect in every human endeavor, but what if that endeavor is done by an artificially intelligent robotic android. Does the saying still hold true? Surely it must, as artificial intelligence suggests that the computer program is designed using theories of human thought. If this is the case then perhaps we ought to train our future artificially intelligent robotic companions and assistants using the same methods that we use to train humans.

One of the most common and historical ways used to train people to do a task is using the apprentice approach. Could does not also work in training artificially intelligent robots? You see any true artificial intelligent system will learn as it goes, through trial and error and experience in observation. One extremely good thing about training in artificial intelligence system is that once it is trained; you can download those experiences into another similar robots and so on. Thus if you train warned you train them all, is long issue sync them up or use the Internet as a global consciousness for your artificially intelligent robotic android devices.

If humans were to take the masters of every human trade and take on one artificially intelligent android, as an apprentice then we could train all of our robots to do every job anytime we wanted in that would save the human race all whole lot work and a lot of time, which they can put forth in a common cause for the greater good of humanity. Consider this in 2006.
