...courts Cover page Abstract Law enforcement units and courts have made advanced technologies in crime detection and prevention. The past technologies mainly used were mainly aviation technology such as use of planes and helicopters and biometrics. The new computer technologies involve use of crime lights, in-car camera systems, graffiti cameras, thermal imaging, lasers, language translators, less-lethal technologies diagramming systems and global positioning system. It enables the responding of a crime activity in a very short time possible and transfer of information efficiently over a longer distance. This paper involves the research on both past and present technology. Past technology Aviation Technology In the past, technology used in law enforcements or police departments included planes and helicopters which acted to save resources and time. It was used in searching for a missing person and doing a survey of a scene. Biometrics technologies This is the technology which used the physical features or behavior of a person to identify it. The methods used included identification of fingerprints, face, voice, iris, signature and handwritings to detect the criminals. Body Armor This was used to protect a criminal investigation officer or police from injury or death through protection from gun and rifle ammunitions, knife stabs and other sharp weapons .The protective vests was mainly used and was composed of ballistic and stab resistant armors. Ballistic-resistant...

...The production method is hidden cameras to document the horror and high end devices to capture the sound waves of the dolphins. The director hires experts to help him aid his way in capturing the horror of dolphin slaughtering. Experts consisted of avionics engineer, head mold makers at industrial light and magic, top experienced divers, surfers, experienced military engineer, etc. The director needed a top expert team to make sure nothing went wrong when documenting the cove. They had rocks that matched rocks in the cove to hide cameras from being sighted. They also had military grade thermal cameras, which you were not allowed to bring out of the country. This would help detect anything with a pulse. They used to make sure that they weren’t being followed when entering the premises. They also had a drone with a high...

... and the first “modern” telescopes, pointed up to the skies, just to see what is out there. Since then we have strived to improve our abilities to see way out there. The latest discoveries and breakthrough in discovery through the use of telescopes, is that of the space telescopes themselves. One of the famous space based telescopes, as well as one of the more famous projects put out by NASA, is that of the “Hubble Space Telescope”. Learning about the worlds around us, allows us to learn about our own “Man Kind”. We are “star stuff”, we are made of the stuff which stars are made from. From the gases, to the elements, what is out there, we can find here. As We explore the world around us, we begin to learn more about our own existence, how we live, where we came from, and perhaps where we are going in the near future. Technology developed in space exploration, also helps us to learn about our own selves. Achievements which we discover out there, help us to gain achievements down here on our own planet, from geology, to biology, to even medical. Perhaps even someday, we will find another planet for which we can live on,...

...How Can Technology Help Law Enforcement in the United State of America Combat Crime Name Institution Organized crime has been a serious concern in the Unites States America for numerous years. The Mafia group was the first known to be an organized crime gang. The Mafia has been powerful organized crime group existed since the 1970’s. The group was known to be planning on how to hijack the people of the United State of America. Technology can help fight organized crimes and safeguard the United States of America. The United States believes that people planning criminal activities should exist in countries that are not stable or rather be in countries that are always in conflict within the nation. The third world countries are the most affected. The main reason is because the countries lack modern and insufficient lawmakers and law enforcement personnel. These countries are not able to purchase the modern technology to fight organized crimes. The agenda should be able to share the intelligence information among the neighboring countries to allow safety and peace among the neighboring countries. The united states should form a network of anti crime which can spread and affect the country's stability and even the neighboring European States. Through technology, sharing information about group crime and mostly the most wanted groups to make work easier to track the criminal groups New technology helps in doing research.The research technology can help in enhancing...

...bins were used to check if there is something hidden inside a shoe, but today, scanners are being used more and more often. The reason for this, is that bins are usually cluttered with items passengers take out of their bags, or take off themselves, so placing shoes on a x-ray belt scanner allows faster, more thorough, and stress-free checking for airport staff. Also, X-Ray scanning can detect objects that might be hidden, even within a shoe’s sole. Thus, checking one’s shoes is a necessary measure directly connected to...

...semantic perception and object labeling are key requirements for robots interacting with objects on a higher level. Symbolic annotation of objects allows the usage of planning algorithms for object interaction, for instance in a typical fetch and- carry scenario. In current research, perception is usually based on 3D scene reconstruction and geometric model matching, where trained features are matched with a 3D sample point cloud. In this work we propose a semantic perception method which is based on spatio-semantic features. These features are defined in a natural, symbolic way, such as geometry and spatial relation. In contrast to point-based model matching methods, a spatial ontology is used where objects are rather described how they "look like", similar to how a human would described unknown objects to another person. A fuzzy based reasoning approach matches perceivable features with a spatial ontology of the objects. The approach provides a method which is able to deal with senor noise and occlusions. Another advantage is that no training phase is needed in order to learn object features. The use-case of the proposed method is the detection of soil sample containers in an outdoor environment which have to be collected by a mobile robot. The approach is verified using real world experiments. Yoginee B. Bramhe (Pethe) proposes ‘An implementation of Moving Object Detection, Tracking and Counting Objects for Traffic Surveillance System’ moving vehicle detection in digital image sequences...

...Current IT Position Electronic Points of Sale (EPOS) | AEON uses such machines as EPOS in all of its supermarkets and hypermarkets. EPOS is self-contained, computerized equipment that performs all tasks of a store checkout counter. It allows payments by credit cards or bank, provides sales reports, verifies transactions, coordinates inventory data, and performs several other services normally provided by employees. | CCTV cameras and fire alarm systems | Supermarkets AEON uses CCTV cameras to enhance the job of security guards and keep track of customers who may do illegal actions (stealing, damage of property, not suitable behavior). In many cases CCTV cameras played the key role in determining the perpetrators of various incidents. Fire alarm system is “must have” technology in every AEON supermarket. It is a device designed to alert people from visual and audio alarms when smoke or fire is present. These alarms may be activated from heat detectors, smoke detectors, or from a fire alarm pull station. In case of fire, it automatically calls fire service and turns on emergency water pressure system and sprays water all around the facility to extinguish probable hearth. | Digital weighing scale | Another technology used by AEON is digital weighing scales. It is a device used for weighing the product (meat, vegetable, cereals, fruits etc.), and printing the price based on the weight. It is widely used device that enhances buying process and simplifies job of employee. These...

...control systems depend on a matter of who, where, and when system. A true access control system is used to determine “who” is allowed to enter or exit, “where” said person is allowed to enter or exit, as well as controlling “when” they will be able to enter or exit. Before technological advancements this was accomplished in part with Keys and locks, when a door was locked only those with the appropriate key were able to use the door. The problem with mechanical Key and Lock systems is that they do not restrict the key holder from entering or leaving at specific times or dates. Historically, this was partially accomplished through the usage of keys and locks. When a door is locked, only someone with a key can enter through the door, depending on how the lock is configured. Mechanical locks and keys do not allow restriction of the key-holder to specific times or dates. Mechanical locks and keys as well do not provide any sort of record keeping of key usage. Another problem with keys is that they can easily be copied or transferred to an unauthorized person. When a mechanical key is lost or the key holder is no longer authorized to use the protected area, the...

...The Reality We Create Anthony Leyba INF103: Computer Literacy Stephanie Webb 27MAY2013 The world around us is becoming smaller, duller and less interesting. At least for the average person the computer screen is where people go to escape the monotony of their unfulfilled lives. Virtual reality seems to be the way of the future. Creating your own world and living a life you could only otherwise dream about. Even providing treatments to the medically impaired virtual reality is a miracle technology with seemingly limitless application. However everything has a price, could this amazing creation have a hidden danger? Why would anyone want to live their real lives that are full of uncertainty, lack of comfort, and no control when they could have everything they have ever desired in a world they create. I believe their are various uses for this technology but without proper restrictions we will lost in the addictive worlds we create for ourselves. When we think of virtual reality we often think of video games and simulated worlds that are used for entertainment or relaxation, but I think that real world application is what makes this technology so remarkable. many companies are incorporating simulated driving so that they may train new vehicle operators without having to worry about damages if a mistake is made. This applies especially to the operation of aircraft where you are traveling at hundreds of miles per hour and have to account for...

...Steganography Hide and Seek: An Introduction to Steganography Although people have hidden secrets in plain sight— now called steganography—throughout the ages, the recent growth in computational power and technology has propelled it to the forefront of today’s security techniques. N IELS PROVOS AND PETER HONEYMAN University of Michigan teganography is the art and science of hiding communication; a steganographic system thus embeds hidden content in unremarkable cover media so as not to arouse an eavesdropper’s suspicion. In the past, people used hidden tattoos or invisible ink to convey steganographic content. Today, computer and network technologies provide easy-to-use communication channels for steganography. Essentially, the information-hiding process in a steganographic system starts by identifying a cover medium’s redundant bits (those that can be modified without destroying that medium’s integrity).1 The embedding process creates a stego medium by replacing these redundant bits with data from the hidden message. Modern steganography’s goal is to keep its mere presence undetectable, but steganographic systems— because of their invasive nature—leave behind detectable traces in the cover medium. Even if secret content is not revealed, the existence of it is: modifying the cover medium changes its statistical properties, so eavesdroppers can detect the distortions in the resulting stego medium’s statistical properties. The process of finding these distortions is called...

...common mouse found near a computer today is the traditional mouse that uses the tracking ball. This is the same method as was used when the mouse was first released in the 1980's. The track ball inside the mouse touches the desk when it is moved. When the ball moves the motion is detected by two perpendicular axis, one which detects x axis directional motion and the other y-axis direction motion. Tracking Ball Perpendicular axis motion detectors Hole in which track ball would sit The diagrams above show the tracking ball and the hole in which the tracking ball sits. You can see the x and y axis motion detectors of which the y-axis detector lies 90° from the x-axis detector. These motion detectors are also known as rollers. When the mouse is in use the tracking ball moves moving one or both of the rollers. Each roller is connected to a shaft, which spins a disc. The disc has holes in it and next to the disc is an infrared LED and an infrared sensor. As the disc spins the hole in the disc breaks the beams of light generated by the LED and the sensor picks up these pulses of light. The speed of the pulses is related to how far the mouse has travelled. If the disc spins faster the further the mouse would have travelled. A diagram below shows one of these discs. LED light LED sensor Disc Shaft So from the mouse...

...employees and should employees expect Privacy at workplace? Technology has offered various options to help people maintain privacy depending on their situation. At the same time, technology has made it almost impossible for anyone to have privacy. There are devices and programs that can help you get privacy but they can also be used to invade it. Modern society has too many incidences and events that include invasion of privacy, including on national and international levels. Is it possible to ever maintain a level of privacy when you are on the computer, your cellphone, or even in your own home due to technology advancements? In this writing the prominent examples of surveillance at work that I would like to discuss about are surveillance cameras and internet surveillance. Since this topic is based around privacy in the workplace, "privacy" is a key term to be explored. I will analyze the definition of “Privacy” term as well as the reality of using Surveillance today to illustrate for my opinion on this...
