Weightless experiencing Aircraft

When as kids most of us would have wanted to be an astronaut and dreamed of doing all that cool stuff that a astronauts got a chance to do. One of the coolest things that everyone want to do is float in no gravityand experience weightlessness like we see in movies, videos and photos.Well for doing all these stuff we do not need to go to NASA and be a astronaut, but we can do it by remaining inside the Earth orbit. NASA has a special plane that provide the experience of weightlessness. ZERO G Corporation is a American company that will give you weightlessness experience at a sum of about $5000(Rs 4lakh approx).
 In order to train astronauts,conducting research and for shooting space movies depicting gravity free , NASA uses a reduced gravity aircraft that provides brief weightless environment in which people can float like they do in space. The aircraft has been nicknamed as "vomit comet".
The aircraft do it by following an elliptic path relative to the centre of Earth. While doing so, the aircraft and payload inside it are in free fall at certain points of its flight path. The aircraft gives about 25 seconds of weightlessness for every 65 seconds of flight in each parabola.
People can also experience weightlessness by giving $4950 plus tax to the Zero G Corporation which has a contract with NASA and uses G-FORCE ONE aircraft , a modified Boeing 727-200.
Vomit Comet has been used to film the weightlessness scene of the movie "Apollo 13".

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...

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...

Goodbye, Oppurtunity. Nasa mars rover 'Opportunity' no longer resposding.

Opportunity, the intrepid NASA rover that spent 15 years on Mars climbing in and out of craters to gather evidence of the planet's watery past, has been brought down by tiny particles of dust. After weeks of trying to revive the veteran Mars rover in the wake of a blinding dust storm, NASA has given up on ever hearing from it again. It's a humble ending for a machine that survived a 300-million-mile journey through space, executed a hole-in-one landing, and set a record by driving more than 28 extraterrestrial miles. Opportunity's last transmission to Earth occurred on June 10 amid an epic Martian dust storm. Still, NASA engineers remained hopeful that when the dust settled, the rover would recharge its solar-powered batteries and resume its superlative mission. Opportunity landed on Mars in January 2004 for a mission that was supposed to last 90 Martian days. Its twin rover, Spirit, had landed three weeks earlier on the other side of the planet. "Wit...
