...Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), U.S. government agency administered by the Department of Defense. It was established in 1958, in reaction to the successful launch of Sputnik by the USSR, as the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Although DARPA is only one of many military agencies administering research and development funds, it has been crucial to the development of several important technologies, especially military computers and the Internet. It funds a high percentage of all artificial intelligence research in the United States, as well as significant projects in microelectronics, materials, and behavioral science.[1] DARPA's mission is to maintain the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from threatening our national security. DARPA programs focus on high-risk research with that will have payoffs that could provide dramatic advances in military capabilities. Each DARPA office manages a large portfolio of programs.[3] DARPA’s original mission, inspired by the Soviet Union beating the United States into space with Sputnik,[2] was to prevent technological surprise. This mission has evolved over time. Today, DARPA’s mission is to prevent technological surprise for us and to create technological surprise for our adversaries. [2] By focusing on high-risk research that could provide dramatic advances in military capabilities, DARPA maintain its mission which is to prevent any new technological attack from any...

...THE CANON STORY 2 012 2012 / 2 013 Kyosei Contents 01 02 04 22 24 27 Kyosei : Canon’s Corporate Philosophy Message from Top Management Canon Now Excellent Global Corporation Plan Phase IV Canon up to Now Activities Focused on Tomorrow The corporate philosophy of Canon is kyosei. A concise definition of this word would be “Living and working together for the common good,” but our definition is broader: “All people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future.” Unfortunately, the presence of imbalances in our world in such areas as trade, income levels and the environment hinders the achievement of kyosei. Through corporate activities based on kyosei, Canon strives to resolve imbalances in the world. Truly global companies must foster good relations, not only with their customers and the communities in which they operate, but also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the responsibility for the impact of their activities on society. For this reason, Canon’s goal is to contribute to global prosperity and the well-being of mankind, which will lead to continuing growth and bring the world closer to achieving kyosei. 01 Message from Top Management We aim to transform ourselves through flexible ideas in response to the changing times. 02 2012 is a year Canon embraces new challenges. In 2011, we faced many ordeals, beginning with the Great East Japan Earthquake. But Canon has always viewed...

...easy enough to find all the material and sources I need to write this paper. The more I researched the topic, the more I found that it may be a good idea to, in a sense narrow this topic down, so it wasn’t such a vast topic and the report wasn’t just kind of all over the place. I decided to go in the direction of just simply covering one specific example of a few types of SMART technologies that exist today. First of all, what is SMART technology? According to TechTerms.com, SMART stands for, “Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology.” It is often times used to protect and prevent errors in hard drives. Put more simply, it’s basically technology that is dynamic, economical (most of the time), and engages in multiple long term solutions towards the health of humans and the productivity, through interactive multisensory technology, action based learning, and brain-body integrated exercise. This type of technology can be used through the use of SMART bands, or wearable equipment, such as the Garmin Vivofit or the Adidas Fit Smart: Fitness tracker, video game based systems such as the Wii Fit or XBOX Kinect, Personalized Apps that can be downloaded onto your smart phone, and even built-in to large workout equipment, like treadmills and ellipticals. One major type of this product is a multisensory fitness suite of products by Multisensory Products. One of the proprietary technologies within MultiSensory Fitness Inc., SMART is Multisensory Brain-Body Fitness Training, a...

...I. Industry Context Industry Overview Industry Summary and Outlook Ceramics Engineering-- the industry that Materials Technology Corporation, or "MTC" is a part of-- is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Because ceramics can be manufactured to have unique combinations of strength, weight, thermal and magnetic conductivity, and deformability, they have countless uses in industries such as aerospace, biomedical, automotive, and electrical. With an unlimited number of such combinations, it is possible to create a material that exactly suits a given situation. Because of the following combination of factors, there is generally "high demand and low supply" for engineered ceramics: • low cost (once developed) and high quality • An infinite number of potential materials combinations • Applicability of a specific unique ceramic to each use (i.e., increased demand for closely-specified material). Similarly, several factors indicate that the ceramics market is essentially still an emerging market: • the relative newness of the industry; • the need for MTC and other such companies to create the market for their products; and • the unlimited number of potential applications indicate the ceramics industry However, one source1 indicated a few trends that evidence a more mature market: • increased pricing pressures on ceramics manufacturers; • improvements in process engineering; • increasing focus on customers in...

...chapter presents the areas of everyday life where AR can be used (including, but not limited to): medical informatics, production repair, visualization, route planning, entertainment and military applications, marketing tasks and education. The basic characteristics of AR systems, the need for compro‐ mise in their applicability, and optical and video mixing approaches are presented in the chapter. The chapter introduces the two main areas of sensor errors, which are considered as a basic problem during the design of efficient augmented reality systems. We summarize how the current devices are able to solve these problems. The expected future direction of AR technology developments and the areas where further research is needed are simultaneously introduced. 1.1. Aims In the course of preparing the study, the actualities of augmented reality technologies have been reviewed. Questions associated with differing scope of application, design and imple‐ mentation problems of augmented reality systems, and possible solutions have been delineat‐ ed during the writing process. The book chapter concludes with possible compromises for questions and approaches, which have arisen during the problem-solving process, and possible directions for future developments are presented, which are suitable for further researches. © 2014 The Author(s).

...average resident of the United States uses 616 gallons per day. Comparatively, this ranks United States second to Canada for per capita consumption. However, the United States population is approximately 10 times that of Canada and therefore total domestic consumption exceeds Canadian several times over, ranking first globally. The scale of water demands strains the hydrologic cycle, which governs the replenishment of fresh water, thereby jeopardizing long-term water resources. 3 Meeting the United States’ water demands traditionally required engineering solutions to a consistent question: Where can we get more water? However, continued strain on resources reveals the need for more than the quick fixes engineers have always turned to. 1 Water-conservation solutions now offer a cost-effective alternative to acquiring new sources, while providing co-benefits to the environment, economy, and health. 4 Assessing the premier emerging opportunities requires understanding of the nature of water shortages, as well as the cost-benefit advantage of reducing demand over increasing supply. 4 Based upon my assessment, efficiency in application and...
