Chandra X-ray Observatory

United Nations has declared the year 2015 as the International Year of Light. Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched by NASA on July 23, 1999 to study the stars and galaxies in the universe. It was previously known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics facility but later changed in honor of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. It was specially designed to detect X-ray emission from very hot regions of the Universe such as exploded stars, clusters of galaxies, and matter around black holes.

Chandra X-ray Observatory study the X-ray sources coming from far away galaxy which do not enter the Earth atmosphere. By using the X-rays images from the Chandra observatory, scientists understand the structure and evolution of the universe.
X-ray telescope uses a Wolter telescope consisting of nested cylindrical paraboloid and hyperboloid surfaces coated with gold and iridium, as X-rays would be absorbed by normal mirrors. Chandra is one of the farthest satellite in the Earth orbit.
Chandra data has greatly advanced the astronomy. The image of the Cassiopeia gave astronomers the glimpse of the compact object at the center of the remnant, probably neutron star or black hole.
On January 5, 2015 , CXO has observed an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual, from a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A which is in the center of our MilkyWay.

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

SkyCruiser : Flying Car Without Runway , A Car, Helicopter and Aeroplane

Flying Car has been a dream of many people for lot of years and many company are working on making it possible. Think about a flying Car which can take off without runaway. Now a Arizona based start-up called Krossblade Aerospace Systems is thinking of making it possible. Krossblade has come out a concept of a SkyCruiser that will act as a car, airplane and helicopter. Skycruiser is a 5-seat hybrid VTOL transformer plane with an ability to drive on road also. While the concept has been in developing mode, therefore company is coming out with a miniature unctioning prototype called 'SkyProwler'. VTOL, vertical take off and landing give it a power to take off from anywhere and land it anywhere. To fly it fast it has to be aerodynamically clean therefore it is made narrow, somewhat drop-shaped with only few things sticking out. Working: SkyCruiser in normal mode is pushed along by two 150 bhp electric motors in the tail, which is then switched to set of four rotors arm fro...

Startup builds AI to automate accounting

Smacc , which uses AI to automate accounting, has secured a 3.5 million Series A round from Cherry Ventures, Rocket Internet, Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures, Grazia Equity and business angels. Smacc offers small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to digitize and automate accounting and financial processes. The founding trio Uli Erxleben, Janosch Novak and Stefan Korsch came up with the idea after find accounting to be the most painful part of their own startup. Erxleben managed Rocket Internet’s US ventures in New York and San Francisco, and is also the founder of Berliner Berg , a craft beer startup. Customers submit their receipts to Smacc, which are turned into a machine-readable format, encrypted, then allocated to an account. The platform gradually also self-learns, tracking invoices, sales and costs, as well as their liquidity. The system checks against some 64 data points, verifies the invoice, checking, for example, that the math adds up, and even if the VAT...
