Sinopsis

"Robotic Prosthetic Advances" explores the remarkable progress in artificial limbs, focusing on how enhanced sensory feedback through advanced sensor integration and refined motor control systems are revolutionizing the field. Imagine a prosthetic hand capable of sensing texture or temperature; this book highlights how such tactile feedback is becoming a reality, offering amputees a more complete sensory experience. The advancements discussed aim to restore not just physical function but also a greater sense of embodiment.

 
The book details the evolution of prosthetics, starting from basic mechanical devices to today's computer-controlled systems, emphasizing the critical juncture where improved sensing and refined motor control converge. Divided into sections on sensor innovations and motor control improvements, it examines topics like pattern recognition, machine learning for adaptive control, and myoelectric systems that more accurately interpret muscle signals. It emphasizes a user-centered approach, exploring how these devices impact lives.

 
Concluding with a look at remaining challenges, "Robotic Prosthetic Advances" addresses the need for more durable materials, sophisticated neural interfaces, and affordable access. By presenting the ethical and societal implications alongside the scientific breakthroughs, it offers a balanced perspective on the future of assistive technology and its potential to blur the lines between human and machine.

IFR Flight Theory

Facundo Conforti

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Carrying out a successful instrument flight not only requires the technical and operational skills to maneuver an aircraft in conditions of reduced visibility or adverse weather, but also requires a set of theoretical knowledge and flight techniques that help minimize the margin of error and try to ensure the success of an instrumental flight. 
In this new book of the most successful Aeronautical Library in America, we will try to cover all the theoretical and operational technical content to provide each reader with the necessary tools with which they can develop a safe and efficient instrumental flight. 
Flight physiology, basic and operational theoretical concepts of instrumental flights, basic regulatory concepts and a whole series of recommended techniques to carry out this type of flight without losing sight of the main objective, to operate the aircraft safely. 
Instrument flight theory is one of the main subjects of the commercial pilot career since it forms one of the most solid pillars that a pilot in training must have.

Splinters of Infinity - Cosmic...

Mark Wolverton

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
 
 
 
In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.
