The company says it is preparing to launch in 2014 its first batch of autonomous vehicles capable of driving up to 31 miles per hour. Volvo says it is working on higher-speed vehicles‚ but isn’t yet disclosing when it would be available. Its prototypes have run thousands of miles of test drives on public roads in Spain and on the company’s test track in western Sweden. Volvo is convinced that this is the future and they want to get there first. In May 2012‚ the firm tested the self-driving car

are therefore keen to get more contracts to fill in that gap. The designers have been working to make a new special very good quality chair for people with back and posture problems. They produced last year a prototype with an aluminium frame which flexes and moves with the body. A prototype was tested by the group of office workers with back and posture related problems. The test was successful. They want to sell these chairs to the final customers for 300-500£. It was demonstrated at an industrial

For the prototype implementation‚ a simple agent which has one behaviour is created. The class diagram of this package can be seen below in Figure 19. 4.1.4.3 StartCalculate Behaviour This behaviour should be calculating the received tasks and informs the ResourceAgent about the results. 4.1.5 GekoProAg_Gui (Graphical User Interface) This GUI helps the user to initialize the system‚ and also input the tasks to the coordination agent as shown in the figure below.

computer mouse came to Engelbart in 1961 at a conference‚ while thinking about how to make graphical computer interfaces more efficient. 2. The first mouse prototype was made out of wood‚ a circuit board‚ and two metal wheels that did not come into contact with the surface it was on. 3. Engelbart would go on to refine this prototype in 1972‚ when he created the ball mouse that was the standard type of computer mouse until 1998. The Keyboard In computing‚ a keyboard

extensively to convert the electrical energy into thermal energy. An analytic heat transfer model is first developed to estimate dimensions of the heating element. Four prototype Fe-Cr-Al metal foam electrical heaters with different levels of porosity and density are built. A more detailed computational fluid dynamics modeling of prototype heaters to include the temperature loss to the surroundings is developed. Experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of airflow rates and electrical current
