This technology is described as: Unlike a TV where

information only goes in one direction, this display

would respond to changes in the illumination around it,

like passing shadows or bright highlights.

This technology works because a series of raised parallel

lines create tiny lenses that project different images at

either vertical or horizontal angles. The effect can make

an image of a car appear like its moving down a road or ahand appear like its waving as you tilt the card one way

and then another". ID this technology which we can

expect in the near future.

_____ ___________ is applied to those who assume that

the molecules responsible for the chemical processes of

life must be constructed primarily from carbon.

It suggests that human beings, as carbon-based life forms

who have never encountered any life that has evolved

outside the earths environment, may find it difficult toenvision radically different biochemistries. The term was

used as early as 1973.

According to _________ _______ concept Carbon hasunique features that make it suitable for life possessed by

no other element. Only two elements, carbon and silicon,

XY is a form of multi valued Y to deal with

reasoning that is approximate rather than precise.In contrast with traditionally used Y, the variables

may have a membership value of not only 0 or 1,

but the degree of truth of the statement can range

between 0 and 1.

When linguistic variables are used, these degrees

maybe managed by specific functions.its use remains controversial with statisticians who

prefer the traditional two value approach.

In 1945, Perry Spencer was experimenting with a

new vacuum tube called the magnetron whiledoing research for the Raytheon corporation.

While dong so, he was intrigued when the

electromagnetic radiation emitted by the device.Although commonly used today, the first of its

kind was about 6 feet tall, weighing over 300kg

and did not become popular till the 60s when itssize was greatly reduced.

Q. What is being described?

.....At each period of growth all the growing twigs have

tried to branch out on all sides, and to overtop and kill

the surrounding twigs and branches, ... The limbs divided

into great branches, and these into lesser and lesserbranches, were themselves once, when the tree was

young, budding twigs ... Of the many twigs which

flourished when the tree was a mere bush, only two or

three, now grown into great branches, yet survive andbear the other branches ...

Place a coin on it on its side and set it spinning. Take

some butter and spread it over a slice of bread. Pick up an

elastic band and stretch it. In each of these cases we dosomething that affects the shape or orientation of the

object in question. The elastic band and butter have been

deformed and the coin has been rotated.When we

investigate transformations mathematically we find thatthere are directions that remain the same after the

deformation has occurred.

In linear algebra,X are multipliers and are used torepresent how much something has been scaled up by

after the transformation.X??
