Try This Brand New Analog Computer

Cars That Think

Engineers connected potentiometers and op-amps to set up representations of knotty differential equations and read the solutions as varying output voltages. Multiple THATs can be chained together if more processing power is required, and a hybrid connection port is provided to make it easier to interface a THAT with a digital computer.

Kespry and NVIDIA demonstrate deep learning for commercial autonomous drones; NVIDIA Jetson TX1

Green Car Congress

The demo was conducted using the NVIDIA Jetson TX1 embedded module—unveiled yesterday at an NVIDIA event in San Francisco. Jetson TX1 is the first embedded computer designed to process deep neural networks—software that can learn to recognize objects or interpret information. Support for CUDA 7.0.

Hologram-in-a-Box Can Teleport You Anywhere

Cars That Think

A standard electric outlet and internet connection are all that are required for plug-and-play, and to sign on to PORTL's cloud-based network that uses Amazon Web Services. Instructors can teach their skills as if live before students, while engineers could demo prototypes by beaming themselves to colleagues with access to networked cabinets.

Get Electric Vehicle

The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. Simulation of the vehicle to a grid-connected system at a private charging station and finding how to flatten the load curve. I don’t know much about the mechanical design parts of the chassis. 12 Hello sir!

Structured VLSI design, now taught in more than 100 universities. Many of the people at BCC were responsible for the design of the SDS 940, the computer on the strength of which Xerox bought Scientific Data Systems in 1968.) which had made the 1103 dynamic memory chips used in the MAXC design, reaped one of the first benefits.

We visited the OLA Future Factory: Electric Scooter Manufacturing

Plug In India

A little bird tells me that the original Etergo design called for an aluminium battery case. But portability in the Etergo design made them go in for lighter plastic. With the current design being a fixed pack, Ola folks can relook the aluminium option. There is an aluminium bus bar for connecting the cells in series.
