Man always wanted to scale new heights of technology in order to make his life better than the best. His thirst for sophisticated life has never come to an end. He always demanded more power‚ more comfort. In this quest we present you the world of bionics which examines the ways in which technology is inexorably driving us to a new and different level of humanity‚ Tran humanism. As scientists draw on nanotechnology‚ molecular biology‚ artificial intelligence‚ and innovative bio-materials science‚ they

Bionics (also known as biomimicry‚ biomimetics‚ bio-inspiration‚ biognosis‚ and close to bionical creativity engineering) is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The word bionic was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958‚ possibly originating from the Greek word βίον‚ bíon‚ pronounced [bi:on] ("bee-on")‚ meaning ’unit of life’ and the suffix -ic‚ meaning ’like’ or ’in the manner of’‚ hence ’like life’

Abstract Bionics is a field‚ which combines both electronics and biology. In simple terms‚ when we think about bionics‚ it is generally more about prosthetic arms or leg enhancement worn outside the body and‚ to some extend‚ even implanted sensor devices inside the body‚ which are essentially enhanced to carry out certain routine tasks. These are essentially life systems that are powered by motors/actuators and sensory arrays. These send neural signals from affected part of the body to the brain

Bionics Assignment 1‚ The word bionic is a combination of two words biology and electronic. Bionics is the field of science that brings together engineering‚ biology‚ and medicine to replace parts of the body. There a three types of medical bionic devices‚ one that sends signals from the brain to the body‚ one that sends signals from the body to the brain‚ and finally one which restricts action to one part of the body without interfering the nervous system. 2‚ The bionic eye can restore vision

A bionic eye mimics the function of the retina to restore sight for those with severe vision loss. It uses a retinal implant connected to a video camera to convert images

Eagle eye From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Eagle Eye (disambiguation). Eye of a Golden Eagle The eagle eye is among the strongest in the animal kingdom‚ with an eyesight estimated at 4 to 8 times stronger than that of the average human.[1] An eagle is said to be able to spot a rabbit 2 miles (3.2 km) away.[1] Although an eagle may only weigh 10 pounds (4.5 kg)‚ its eyes are roughly the same size as those of a human.[1] As the eagle descends from the sky to attack

Chapter 9: The Eye * Light is electromagnetic energy that is emitted in form of waves; waves crash into objects and are absorbed‚ reflected‚ scattered‚ and bent * Half of human cerebral cortex is involved with analyzing visual world * MAMMALIAN VISUAL SYSTEM: begins with eye‚ back of eye is retina (contains photoreceptors specialized to convert light energy to neural activity) * Eyes have features to track moving objects and keep transparent surface clean (i.e. by tears) *

THE EYE. The normal sighted human eye perceives an object which is ‘described’ by light rays and how they are bent by it . Usually‚ the image of the object is picked up on the retina‚ on the area of the Central Forea as an upside down picture which is then ‘righted’ by the brain in order that the object may be seen. Different distanced objects are perceived by the eye and the lens is the part that makes this possible. Objects which are close to the eye are seen by the eyes’s lens becoming thicker
