US Army's magic bullet will hang out in mid-air, but won't kill you

This is the recipe for peak absurdity in weapons design. One part bazooka round; one part suicidal drone; one part stun round. What the US Army hopes will emerge from that mix is a warhead that can loiter in midair while it hunts a human target -- but won't kill him when it finds him. That "Nonlethal Warhead for Miniature Organic Precision Munitions" is on the Army's  wish list for small business . For good measure, its outline for the weapon relies on a  different  system, one that's just barely getting off the ground. "This effort will require innovative research and advancements in non-lethal technologies which can be packaged within a very small volume and weight," the Army concedes. This latest nonlethal weapon is a modification of something called the Lethal Miniature Aerial Munition System (LMAMS), something the Army explicitly compares to a "magic bullet." That warhead "should be capable to acquire a man-size target at t...

WHY TO VISIT TEMPLES ? A must read ! (Scientific Reason)

There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place,  or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here. Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they...

Coming to an e-book near you - LG's flexible e-paper display

Like most display manufacturers, LG has kept a finger in the  flexible e-paper  pie. Now, however, the company has announced that its six-inch XGA resolution Electronic Paper Display (EPD) is now in full production, and should be in devices bound for Europe within the next month. LG's new plastic EPD, claimed to be the world's first in mass production, takes the form of a plastic substrate that is 0.7 millimeters (0.027 in) thick, about 2/3 the thickness of glass EPD devices. At 14 grams (0.49 oz) in weight, the new display comes in at less than half the weight of glass-based alternatives. However, the flexibility is what causes the plastic EPD to step up as a game changer. The rugged device will bend as much as 40 degrees from the plane of the display, will survive blows from a small urethane hammer and repeated drops from a height of 1.5 meters (4.92 ft). "With the world's first plastic EPD, LG Display has once again proven its reputation for leadership and in...
