An anthropomimetic machine is a robot that micics a human in all different forms: externally as well as internally. Researchers in Europe went about creating their anthropomimetic machine because, in the past, robots externally were able to mimic humans; however, once they were opened up, it was obvious that they were a robot with all the bolts and screws. What they were hoping to do was develop and create a robot that was able to respond and react to different stimuli that other robots would be unable to detect. More Read More

Anodizing/anodized aluminum refers to both a specific type of aluminum alloy as well as the process that is used to produce this alloy. The term “anodizing” is used to describe a technique for expanding the natural oxide layer of metals, especially aluminum. Anodizing changes the texture of aluminum by creating a much more porous surface that provides more adhesion for dyes and glues than a smooth surface does. Anodizing also increases aluminum’s wear and corrosion resistance, making the aluminum object much stronger in virtually all environments. How does Anodizing Aluminum Read More

The Type "N" connector, commonly known as the N connector, is used to join coaxial cables using a threaded RF connector. It was one of the first connectors to be capable of carrying microwave-frequency signals. Invented by Paul Neill of Bell Labs in the 1940s, the connector is named after him. Design Details These connectors were devised to carry signals that could reach 1 GHz in certain military applications. The Type N connector that is commonly used today can easily handle up to 11 GHz. However, that was just the Read More

As plastic is not biodegradable like other items that are thrown away on a daily basis, landfills often accumulate large amounts of plastic jugs, bottles, and bags. In order to reduce the amount of plastic material in these landfills, a plastic granulator is used to shred the plastic into tiny flakes called granules. The plastic granules are then resold to industrial facilities as raw material to be reshaped into new plastic products. To better illustrate the design and process of plastic granulators, this article will describe how they work and Read More

What is VGA? VGA started as a chip in the IBM computers. It was meant as a way of providing graphics. However, as time has gone on, it has gained a second name, replacing array with adapter. Therefore, adapters like the 15-pin adapter is a VGA adapter. It pushes VGA through Read More

Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to a system of access control techniques that digital systems manufacturers implemented. DRM allows companies to protect their assets from being copied or otherwise unlawfully distributed by either analog or digital means, with more emphasis on the latter.
