First Time in the World, researchers created an impression of a submerged human recorded by a dolphin’s echolocation.

A team of researchers used an imaging system known as a Cymascope the system, developed by John Stuart Reid (who also assisted with the project), made it possible to record and isolate dolphin echolocation sounds directed onto specific objects, and then create 2D images from those sounds. A computer then converted those images into 3D, which allowed the researchers to 3D-print robust, real-world models.
  “We’ve been working on dolphin communication for more than a decade.When we discovered that dolphins not exposed to the echolocation experiment could identify objects from recorded dolphin sounds with 92% accuracy, we began to look for a way for to see what was in those sounds.”


For the experiment, a feminine dolphin named Amaya directed her sonar beams at a submerged diver, whereas a hydrophone captured the following echos. To keep away from added “noise,” the diver, Jim McDonough, swam and not using a respiration equipment to ensure no bubbles would adversely have an effect on the outcomes. As Amaya scanned McDonough together with her excessive frequency sound beam, the CymaScope imprinted sonic vibrations inside the water medium.
Along with the diver, the researchers additionally had Amaya direct her sonar at a flowerpot, a dice, and a plastic “+” image.
“We have been thrilled by the primary profitable print of a dice by the sensible staff at 3D Techniques,” stated Kassewitz. “However seeing the 3D print of a human being left us all speechless. For the primary time ever, we could also be holding in our palms a glimpse into what cetaceans see with sound. Almost each experiment is bringing us extra pictures with extra element.”

LG’s first flexible OLED phone due before the year is out

LG plans to launch a flexible OLED smartphone before the end of the year, the company’s VP of mobile has confirmed, though it’s unclear to what extent the work-in-progress handset will actually flex. The OLED panel in question is the handiwork of LG Display according to VP of LG mobile Yoon Bu-hyun, the WSJ  reports, with the proposed device set to launch sometime in Q4. LG Display’s work on flexible OLEDs has been underway for some time, though the company’s efforts have perhaps been overshadowed somewhat by rival Samsung’s YOUM development. Last year, according to a Korea Times report, LG Display was preparing for
Flexible displays are the Future of IT Industry! A part from 4k and smart home appliances, the CES 2013 saw a lot of attention being drawn towards bendable, flexible displays. The elasticised display idea isn’t something new as we have seen hoards of device concepts being crafted around flexible, bendable and even foldable displays. These concept devices give us a futuristic feel, be it a flexible phone to be worn around the wrist or a phone that opens up to turn into a tablet or PSP-like device. But how far is this future? Nokia has been toying with the idea ever since we remember. The technology sounds very fascinating and the possibilities and the extent to which bendable displays could be used are vast and leave us spellbound. However, these have always been concepts and we haven’t seen any device materialise in the real world. There have been several technologies that were conceived in these years and all have been put to their practical use. But the bendable d

Apple Seeds watchOS 9.2 Beta 4 to Developers| Download Now

  Apple has seeded watchOS 9.2 beta 4 to developers for testing. The build number is 20S5357b. This beta version of watchOS 9.2 contains bug fixes and improvements.  Apple notes that "This version of watchOS should only be deployed on devices dedicated for watchOS beta software development." Developers can download the watchOS configuration profile from the link below.    DOWNLOAD This update introduces a new Race Route workout that is made for bicyclists and runners, along with several new features to the Home app. The function allows you to compete against your past exercises and yourself, We are moving closer to the final release of watchOS 9.2 as this is the fourth beta, and we anticipate Apple will release the final version early next week. When will the customers get the update? The final version of watchOS 9.2 could be released the following week, assuming there are no significant issues with the Release Candidate. According to earlier rumours, Apple intends to release
