The new, Tavor night time driving system , has been designed to provide enhanced driver vision in total darkness, rain, fog, smoke, dust, etc. This allows vehicles to move in  situations I conditions where others cannot; ensuring the required equipment and personal  can reach their objectives safely.

>

The Tavor night driving system is based on an uncooled thermal imaging kit utilising the Opgal Eye R25 engine. The R25 is a miniature high-performance microbolometric thermal imaging engine, based on a 384×288 pixels 25micron  ASi microbolometer detector providing full frame rate, 50/60Hz of video. The engine features powerful proprietary algorithms, fully well-tried and proven to be effective in poor visibility conditions. It providesa selection of outputs   (CCIR or RS170) and digital LVDS or USB2 (optional) video outputs. The EYE-R25 is tuned to long-wave infrared with sensitivity of less than 0.050°C with a F1 lens. This is packed into a ruggedized housing and integrated with hard carbon coated optics. The ruggedized LCD display, connecting cable, camera-mounting kit are all packed into a rugged carrying case . The whole system is MIL-STD-810E approved. The system has an anti-blooming mechanism to prevent dazzle and a high resolution LCD. Electronic zoom (x2 & x4) combined with a wide viewing area of 64° horizontal further enhancing the  drivers vision.  The module can easily be integrated into military vehicle designs. A commercial variation is available based on the Meron camera. This is a light weight small thermal camera again using the R25 engine. Video data can be taken from the camera and interfaced into a suitable display. 

Simple to install and use the Tavor offers a quick solution to difficult driving conditions i for all land vehicles when speed and time is critical 

Many applications that can use this Night Driving System

Emergency vehicles.

Ambulances, Fire Trucks and Police cars all need to be able to get to the problem as fast and safely as possible. Poor environmental weather conditions can hinder this objective which when thermal imaging can help in obtaining a effective and safe journey

Commercial vehicles have to deliver whatever the weather, fog, rain, haze, etc. causes great strain on the drivers concentration and can lead to accidents. The use of thermal imaging can assist the driver by reducing the stress for trying to see what is ahead and improving the safety to the drive and other vehicles on the road.

Ships and yachts

Once more thermal imaging can be of great assistance in entering and leaving a harbor in poor visibility conditions. They can also help in spotting object in the water allowing evasion tactics to be taken and safe guard the vessel.

Railways

Thermal imagers deployed on train engines assist in spotting objects on or near  the line and giving the driver more time to take the appropriate actions.

There is much knowledge now about different objects and phenomena in the universe (for example Black holes).

But not only that – it is much easier to get to know the science of astronomy for everybody. You don’t have to be a top expert scientest to have the possibility of watching the stars in close up images. There are a lot of very good software projects and relatively cheap beginners equipment that enable everyone to deepen the knowledge about our universe (e.g. Photlun lunar research. Many of tose resources are very affordable and quite a lot software products are even available for free.

But even if you are not interested in the science behind it, there is so much beauty in some of those pictures. The structures and colors seen on those pictures fascinate almost anyone who is confronted with them for the first time. Some of the best pictures can be found here: Pictures of earth from space

Discover the the variety of astronomy, which is both – hobby and science. Like in art you can watch pictures or it can give your brain the task to apply math with all tricks the science supplies.

Images of colorful, cartoon aliens are so much more fun even if we have no proof that creatures from outer room exist. There are pencil drawings of aliens created from the memories of people who have been hypnotized to allow them to keep in mind what the aliens looked like that abducted them for a trip inside spacecraft, and the photos and paper prints we have here in our gallery look like them closely. As creature designers can certainly attest, an alien being in the Star Wars universe has to become unique to distinguish him/her from the vast sea of strangeness that abounds in locales. In the same way, memorabilia bearing the likeness of the Star Wars alien need to be pretty extraordinary or notorious, to outshine the lime-lighting heroes and villains of the saga. As the universe seems inclined to champion the neglected, the ignored, and also the underrated, the saga has generously granted a small, motley crew of aliens the “grail collectible” status that is usually reserved for the Luke Skywalkers, R2-D2s, and Darth Vaders.

In 1898, archeologists found a little wooden object in a tomb at Saqqara, Egypt. They identified it like a “bird model” and placed it inside a box of other bird figures in the storage area of a Cairo museum. The item was forgotten for numerous years until Dr. Khalil Messiha rediscovered it and realized its value. The Egyptian Ministry of Culture commissioned a group of scientists to study the object. As a result, the item was given its own exhibit detailing its uncommon features.

The six-inch long artifact isn’t a bird effigy, but an advanced model glider. The wings curve downward at the tips, a form called reverse dihedral by modern aircraft designers. The object has dimension, which would allow a full-scale version to stay in flight at very low speeds, down to 45 miles per hour, whilst at the exact same time carrying an enormous payload.

Ancient Egyptian engineers always built small-scale models of their tasks, from ships to temples. Is this artifact an echo of lost technologies from prior to a worldwide cataclysm?

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879. His father Hermann Einstein was an engineer and his mother was Pauline Einstein. He spent his elementary days in a Catholic school when his family moved to Munich. His curiosity about how some kind of force is deflecting the needles of a compass has in some way led him to be a known scientist today.

When his family moved to Italy, he continued to study in Switzerland and there he had high quality physics teacher and facilities. And when he got employed in a Swiss patent office in Bern, he spent his spare time doing his own works and publications about theoretical physics without any kind of help from anybody.

His works earned him his doctorate degree in Zurich and then a Privatdozent in Berne. It did not take him long to obtain a regular appointment afterwards until he became a director.

He was married twice. And he died on April 18, 1955 leaving a remnant of his great works which until now is still considered as a fundamental concept in the area of theoretical physics. Albert Einstein achieved so much in a short span of time and he contributed a lot through his works throughout his entire life.

The General Methods

Although ‘variables’ is one of the frequently used terms in computer science, this is first presented in algebra. This is frequently used when adding and subtracting radicals. When adding or subtracting radicals the radicals must be the same order before you add or subtract them.

As a method of getting the least common denominator by listing the multiples of each denominator and dividing by 2,3,4, and so on. After that you should look at the smallest number. An example is multiples of 5 are 10, 15, 20, 30. Multiples of 6 are 12, 18, 24, 30, and multiples of 15 are 30, 45, 60. As you can see 30 is the smallest number that appears in the list of multiples.
If you are supposed to simplify a fraction, it can be done easily by finding a common factor in the numerator and denominator. A common factor is going to be a number that will equally divide into both numbers. An example would be 3 is a common factor for 6 and 12. Three will equally divide into 6 and into 12. Two being a common factor for 4 and 14 is another example for this. You will repeat this same procedure until there are no common factors left. You can also do this same process by finding the greatest common factor of both the numerator and the denominator. You will divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor instead of the common factor.

Getting Good with Algebra

If you find yourself in hassle with algebra and can’t seem to find the answer you need. You can use an algebra problem solver that will provide you with the needed help. With one of these computer software you can simply input the figures related to the question and your problem will be solved immediately in an informative manner (including the steps). Having access to an algebra problem solver can mean the difference in passing or failing. Most people cannot afford a tutor and they might not be available when you need them at times. With an algebra software package you will have access to the solutions you need, anytime when essential.

An aircraft charter is a setup that connects owners of private aircraft with busy individuals who want to get somewhere without the hassles and inconvenience that invariably come with a major airline. In many ways, an aircraft charter provides you with the conveniences of owning your own private jet, while helping to save you on the many expenses that you would have if you did own one. This is not to say that certain charter arrangements couldn’t provide you with a “piece” of the ownership of a jet, but if that isn’t something you are interested in, you can still rely on an aircraft charter on a case-by-case basis without having to put up any money upfront.

This is actually a pretty significant benefit. Owning a private jet is prohibitively expensive for almost everyone, but these same people still want to enjoy the convenience and service that a private jet can provide. That is where the aircraft charter comes in. In essence, you are “renting” the use of a private jet on an individual basis, and this is especially helpful if you need to get somewhere quickly on short notice, since the timeframe for booking a private flight is exponentially faster and more efficient. A private aircraft charter is also a big benefit if your destination is out of the way, because many commercial airlines only deal with large cities and airports.

Comfort is another boon you can enjoy with an aircraft charter. Even flying first class, you can’t expect to have the same level of in-flight service that you will experience on your own aircraft charter flight. From fully-catered meals to top-notch amenities like Internet access and sleeping quarters, you can expect a memorable and enjoyable flight with an aircraft charter.

Some people travel by aircraft charter for business, and others for leisure, but the flexibility available means that you can customize your particular flight to meet your specific needs. Commercial airlines are adequate for some things, but they are definitely not known for catering to your needs and fitting around your busy schedule. On a commercial flight, you might find yourself frustrated by flight delays, long lines, invasive security, and other annoyances that make your flying experience unnecessarily stressful. Aircraft charter is designed to give you the best possible experience so that you can focus on what actually matters to you.

If you are interested in an aircraft charter, you can find jets all across the spectrum. For small groups, you should look into light and mid-sized aircrafts, while super mid aircrafts and heavy aircrafts are suitable for large groups. The luxury and speed you get with a private aircraft charter is unsurpassed, and if you find yourself traveling a lot, there is certainly no better way to make that flight than with an aircraft charter.

Don’t expect an azure glow over our lunar satellite, however. The term “blue moon” simply refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, something that hasn’t happened on a New Year’s Eve for nearly 20 years, NASA says.

“December 1990 ended with a blue moon, and many New Year’s Eve parties were themed by the event,” said Professor Philip Hiscock of the department of folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in Canada. “It was a lot of fun.”

Most months have just one full moon, because the 29.5-day cycle of the moon matches up pretty well with the length of calendar months. Occasionally, there will be two full moons in a month, something that happens about every 2½ years, NASA says.

But a blue moon on December 31 is rare.

Elvis Presley crooned about it when he sang the old Rodgers and Hart song “Blue Moon,” in which he stood alone without a dream in his heart or a love of his own.

He struck a more hopeful tone in another tune, singing about his love returning to his arms “When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again.” He also covered Bill Monroe’s bluegrass classic, “Blue Moon of Kentucky.”

It is possible for the moon to have a cerulean hue, NASA says, but that’s sometimes caused by fine dirt circulating in the Earth’s atmosphere or the dark blue tone of the sky.

A blue moon hasn’t always meant the second full moon in a month. Hundreds of years ago, it simply meant “never” or “absurd,” Hiscock said.

“The phrase ‘blue moon’ has been around a long time, well over 400 years, but during that time its meaning has shifted,” he said. “I have counted six different meanings which have been carried by the term, and at least four of them are still current today. That makes discussion of the term a little complicated.“

When the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it put so much dust in the atmosphere that the moon actually appeared blue — an event so unusual that the term “once in a blue moon” was coined, according to NASA’s National Space Science Data Center. The effect lasted for almost two years, Hiscock said.

Full moons used to have 12 names, one for each month, such as “harvest moon,” NASA said. The term “blue moon” referred to the 13th full moon in a year.

The term acquired its current meaning in the 1940s, after the Farmer’s Almanac of Maine offered an astronomical definition of a blue moon “so convoluted that even professional astronomers struggled to understand it,” NASA wrote on its Web site.

A writer at Sky and Telescope magazine in the late 1940s tried to explain the almanac’s definition by saying it referred to the second full moon in a month.

“That was not correct, but at least it could be understood,” NASA wrote. “And thus the modern blue moon was born.”

Atlantis’ 12-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) will deliver a 23-foot long, 17,000 pound Russian-built research module that will provide additional storage space and a new docking port.The module will be permanently attached toone of the existing sections of the ISS and will carry important hardware on its exterior including a radiator, airlock and a European-built robotic arm.  Three spacewalks are planned to install spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a Ku-band antenna and spare parts for the Space Station’s Canadian-built robotic arm.

This and the other final flights of Discovery on September 16 and Endeavor no earlier than mid-November will be the last opportunity to transport large components and spare parts to the ISS, which can only be delivered using the large cargo bay provided by the Shuttle.

This will be the 32^nd flight for Atlantis, which lifted off on its maiden voyage on Oct. 3, 1985.   Later missionsincluded the launch of the Magellan probe to Venus in May 1989,Galileo interplanetary probe to Jupiter in October 1989, the first shuttledocking to the Mir Space Station in June1995 and the final Hubble servicingmission  in May 2009.

Atlantis is named after a two-masted sailingship that was operated for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute from 1930to 1966.

In total Atlantis has logged 115 million miles of space flight has spent 282 days in earth orbit.

The scheduled launch time is 2:20 pm, given favorable weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center and at its downrange emergency landing sites in case one is needed.

For those who wish to be as close as possible for the launch, prime viewing sites are along the Indian River on U.S. Highway 1 especially in Titusville, the Beachline Expressway Rt. 528 where it crosses over the Indian River, in Cocoa Beach off Route A1A, and at Jetty Park at Port Canaveral.  Plan to arrive at least 3-4 hours prior to launch.

Thinking outside the box

Einstein is well known for his incredible scientific theories that literally invented whole new fields of science, but what made Einstein such an incredible mind around his peers was the fact that he could look at a problem that had baffled scientists for generations and almost immediately look at the problem from a new perspective. He might not come up with the answer right away, but he could break start the journey down a new path. Today, we call this ‘thinking outside the box.’ While we may never accomplish something so grand, the ability to look at problems from new and interesting perspectives is incredibly valuable in today’s workplace. Every day, businesses both big and small take on problems that they have been wrestling with for years, and if you can inject something new into that conversation, you will prove yourself to be an asset your company can’t live without.

Don’t ever give up

Just like Thomas Edison, success didn’t come right away for Albert Einstein. He tried to forward some rough drafts of his scientific theories earlier on in his career, and they were either summarily ignored or brushed off as incomplete or just plain impossible. The truth is that most professors and “experts” who viewed his early work were likely terrified by it or they simply didn’t have the capacity to understand it. Instead of giving up, Einstein went back to the drawing board and refined his theories. When he was done, they were simply irrefutable and are now known verbatim by most of the earth’s population. This incredible commitment to his work should serve as inspiration to not only businessmen and women, but to anyone who has ever tried and failed at anything. Although we may never have an idea as grand as the ones he did, that doesn’t mean we can’t impact society with our work if we just try hard enough.

Sense of humor

Probably the best known picture of Einstein features him with his famous Einstein tongue out. It showed that even someone labeled the smartest person in the world can have a sense of humor and not take themselves so seriously. In the highly competitive world of business, it is extremely important to know when to push yourself away from your desk and have a good time. Besides, what good is the good life if you are constantly at work?
