Generally, the world's car manufacturers to develop the autonomous technology or car without driver on the passenger vehicles.Interestingly, from a series of automotive manufacturers who develop autonomous technology.
But this time, Audi becoming a spotlight, when Artem Smirnov and Vladimir Panchenko as independent trucks designers decided to show Audi designers, the futuristic truck designs as the transformation of the truck industry which considered not changes over the last 50 years.

These two new truck models expected to be a new breakthrough for the development of trucks in the future through the project called 'Truck for Audi' was to follow two distinct directions - an autonomous electric truck destined for highway cruising and an 'electric truck show car.'

One of two truck concept models applied the autonomous technology. Uniquely, the autonomous truck design has a box-shaped extends upward to the capsule-shaped glass. The front looks like a smartphone, and so probably has the same impressive aerodynamic coefficient, but none of that really matters when it manages to look this cool.

While the other truck is non-autonomous truck model was designed like a modern sport vehicle. There are two seats for the driver and passengers at the front-top of the roofless truck forthe driver and passengers. As a consequence, the driver and passengers should be equipped with the helmets and air masks like jet fighter pilots. It's ridiculous, but also beautiful.

Both models of the Audi trucks will be equipped with the electric motors as their drivetrain. But apparently, it is difficult to become a reality because so many factors that must be met by a design concept to be realized in the form of a prototype. One of them is the vehicle design feasibility from the standpoint of automotive manufacturers. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]
Rats are known as rodents often sniff out food or crumbs. Now a study conducted to hone the rats olfactory abilities so can detect mines. The discovery of super-sniffer mice is also expected to be detect dangerous diseases.

The researchers at Hunter College, University of New York City, created the mice that can be tuned and have different levels of sensitivity to any odors. The nature of the actual olfactory receptors have been discovered in 1991. But now it is possible olfactory system can be used on living beings.
Basically, the mammalian nose contains a set of sensory neurons. Each is equipped with a single chemical sensors called receptors that can detect a specific odor. According to the researchers, mice like humans, each neuron pick just one receptor. Collectively, neurons select equalization receptor, so that each of the thousands of different receptors represented around 0.1% of the neurons.
Researchers have honed a mouse’s sense of smell, so it can be tuned to detect chosen odours. Red fluorescence (left) represents super-sniffer receptors connecting to the brain in the mouse olfactory system while the green fluorescence marks all other odor receptor populations.

In an attempt to understand the mechanisms of these neurons is used to select a particular receptor. Paul Feinstein, a professor of biological sciences at Hunter Collage, tinkering with the genome of mice.
He introduced the DNA to olfactory receptor genes via injection into the nucleus of the fertilized egg. It also adds an extra string to the DNA gene sequence to see if it will change the probability of the selected genes. After several attempts, he found an string work as the extra DNA that results in a series of mice have "super olfactory."
They have increased the number of neurons expressing the receptor is selected, which has a sweet smell similar to jasmine. The researchers tested the rodents’ amplified sense of smell, by using fluorescent imaging to trace the activation of the amplified odour receptor in response to the receptor's corresponding odour.
This graphic summarises MouSensors. Scientists have increased the total number of neurons expressing specific mouse or human smell receptors in the nose of a mouse by genetically controlling specific genes. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1cEeUj)
This test provides visual confirmation that the receptors are functional and present in larger quantities than others. In the second behavioral test, the animals are trained to avoid a disgusting smell known to bind the transgenic receptors.
"The animals could smell the odour better because of the increased presence of the receptor," said Dr D'Hulst as reported by the Daily Mail on Friday, July 8, 2016.
The team plans to commercialize the technology and has set up a company called MouSensor. And Fernstein's Lab has received funding from the US Department of Defense to develop the super-sniffer mice, so that it can be trained to detect TNT and potentially find the land mines. This could mean reducing the number of soldiers and civilians who have to take the risk of sacrificing their lifes to clear mines or navigating a mine fields. ***[EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
Bootpower is one of the world's leading home modifications are unquestionable advantages of the works it produces. Along with the advent of street or flat tracker racing event that becomes echo the history of Harley-Davidson (HD) racing motorcycle, made them create works that are no less cool.
By using the base engine capacity of 1,203 cc of the Buell Thunderstorm V-Twin, then Bottpower create the visualizations of street tracker motorbike is very thick on the figure of the legend HD XR750 or the latest HD XG750R. Indeed, almost all motorcycle racing in this event has a similar construction, but this custom-built bike has a different character.
And the custom-built motorcycle named BOTT XR1R, and created a very special, mostly constituent and made by custom with very high quality materials. Its weight of not less than 150 kg with a power output of 150 hp. BOOT
XR1R had a custom Titanium central spine Bottpower frame, with
vibration isolation system, then bodyworks of carbon fiber materials as
well as a variety of advanced electronic devices are also mounted on
this bike
Now for the feet, the motorbike front suspension used Showa inverted fork from a Buell 1125 and the rear suspension of Öhlins shock absorber. While to stop the pace of this motorcycle, Bootpower installing eight brake pistons ZTL2 type, 375 mm stainless steel floating rotors in the front and in the back with a 240 mm stainless steel rotor, single piston floating caliper.

Lamborghini will add a new model that will fill in the lines between the Huracan and Aventador. Reportedly, this car is built on the MSB platform used on the latest Porsche Panamera. As reported of Motor1, the speculation led to the Miura's revival. Different from the old version, this time suggests the new model could be a front-engine Miura with a 2+2 interior layout.
(Pictured: Lamborghini Asterion LPI-910) Would slot between the Aventador and Huracan filled by all-new Miura? (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1cCWXU)
Lamborghini is deliberately using the MSB (Modularer Standardantrieb-Baukasten) platform of the Volkswagen Group's instead of its own carbon fiber monocoque chassis due to lower the production costs as well as development.
For the engine, all-new Miura would carry a hybrid V10 engine that supported by two electric motors. The first electric motor with an output of 200 hp is located at the front wheels and the second electric motor with an integrated power of 67 hp on the transmission.
Remembered this Lamborghini Miura Nuovo Concept in 2010. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1cGwLH)
The all-new Miura performance would be over the Huracan and nearly close to the Aventador, so does the price. The difference from the technical point of view would help the Miura fill out a new market niche between the two previous models.
Lamborghini Miura is not the first model built on the premium VW Group's Modular Standard Platform. Previously, Sant'Agata-based supercar manufacturer created the Urus with similar platforms of Audi Q7 and Bentley Bentayga. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1]
In order to protect the tomb of the pharaoh from the invasion the robbers, the ancient Egyptians created a system of blocks and grooves in the Great Pyramid of Giza. More recently, an Egyptologists named Mark Lehner tries to reconstruct the machine in question with the help of computer animation.
As quoted from Live Science on Thursday, July 14, 2016, Lehner who is also Chairman Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA), a team of researchers who have been working for 30 years on the Giza excavation process.
Many experts argue that the King's chamber contains the remains of Pharaoh Khufu who ruled in between 2551 to 2528 BC. He allegedly ordered the establishment of the Great Pyramid of Giza which became the highest pyramid in Egypt. The authors of the past even call it a "wonder of the world".
In addition to the presence of the King's chamber, the Great Pyramid of Giza also has two other large room which is now referred to as the Queen's chamber and Subsurface chamber. The purpose of these two chambers remain a mystery until now.

To protect the pharaohs chamber, the ancient Egyptians build a series of grooves and blocks of stone that are hidden inside the walls of the pyramid. The existence of grooves and blocks had already been known at least since the 19th century, but only now sought the help of the computer animation to illustrate the preparation and the way it works.
In the animation seen how the stone blocks were dropped into the grooves near King's chamber after the completion of the funeral of the pharaoh. According to Lehner, the system is very sophisticated in his time.
The system was clogging the entrance to the King's chamber using the giant stone blocks that make it difficult breakthrough by the tomb looters. However, it seems that the machine fails to protect the tomb of Khufu.
Now, all that remains in the tomb is simply a red granite coffin. The room was probably already looted between the end of the reign of Khufu and the collapse of the Old Kingdom (around 2134 BC)," as wrote by Lehner in his book, "The Complete Pyramids", published by Thames and Hudson (1997).
Some Egyptian experts argued that Khufu may have been suckered the looters in other ways. In addition to the security system, the pyramid also had four small tunnel. Two tunnels coming from King's chamber and two more came from the Queen's chamber. Browsing using a robot revealed the possibility of three doors with the copper handles.
Zahi Hawass, an Ancient Egypt expert and also the former minister of Egyptian archeology, told Live Science in 2013 about allegations that the tunnels eventually leading real Khufu's burial chamber.
"I am very confident that the chamber of Cheops (another name for Khufu) have not been found, and the third room was just deceiver for the looters and Khufu's treasure is still hidden in the Great Pyramid," said Hawass.
Wanna see the animation of how the machinery of the pharaoh's tomb protector works as follow:
Now, a project to scan the Great Pyramid as a whole by using various technologies still on progress. The researchers hope the project will be revealed the existence of secret burial chamber, if it is still there. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LIVESCIENCE | SCIENCE ALERTS]
A modification of Yamaha Vixion motorcycle adopted a cruiser tracker style is indeed rare. Because this concept style can be fairly extreme in the motorcycle modification. But with its uniqueness makes the motorbike to be quite difficult to guess the original form. And also arguably very different and quirky, unusual of another existing modifications.
For those of you who like the different style of the other motorcycle in general, might be able to make this concept as a solution. Moreover, if you have a motorcycle with a large enough engine capacity, it would be interesting to show. As we know that the original frame of the Yamaha Vixion already using the box frame. However, in order to display the tracker's style needs to change completely, leaving only the cone stir parts.

And the fuel tank buffer frame and the engine's hooks becomes more classic. By using seamless pipe size of ¾ inch and 1 inch is formed so as to be able to display the desired concept.

But you should remember that the cruiser concept is a blend of various concepts that make the frame becomes more length. It has the characterized rake angle and also trials that are longer than generally. As for the feet selected the Upside Down suspension to make it more comfortable, which is certainly the triangle needs to be remodeled. And on the back side uses the YSS shock paired to rider comfort.
For the wheels using a TK product with a size of 2,15 inches with diameter 18 inches on the front and diameter of 16 inches for the rear. And then wrapped with IRC tires widths of 3.00 adjusted with its ring. However the drum as well as disc use part of the KLX as an addition to its uniqueness.
