A Closer Look at Parallella Andrew Back
As Parallella prototypes start to ship this
post takes a look in more detail at what this potentially game changing
single board computer provides and a few potential applications.
The Parallella project is the brainchild of Adapteva,
a semiconductor company that has developed an incredibly
energy-efficient microprocessor architecture named Epiphany that is
capable of scaling to thousands of cores on a single chip.
The Epiphany chip is currently sampling in 16 and 64
core versions and provides floating-point RISC processors that can be
clocked at up to 1GHz, each complete with a small amount of local memory
and meshed together by a low-latency on-chip network.

Timbrel Vaulting Using Cardboard Formwork
Lara Davis, Matthias Rippman and Philippe Block from the Swiss BLOCK Research Group at the ETH Zurich University have taken the centuries old timbrel vaulting technique
one step further by incorporating high-tech design tools (software and
CNC fabrication) and low-tech materials (cardboard boxes and wooden
palettes).

Bewarket é um projecto português, e
caracteriza-se por ser uma plataforma de compra e venda online,
semelhante ao já conhecido ebay. No Bewarket o utilizador tem um leque
de opções e pode comprar, vender, doar, leiloar e ainda revender os seus
produtos. Não necessita de se dirigir ou aceder a nenhum site, e basta
ter acesso à sua conta no Facebook uma vez que o serviço funciona como
uma aplicação para esta rede social.
O ‘social commerce’ Bewarket, surgiu a partir da tese de Mestrado de
um dos criadores, Marco Barbosa, que teve como tema a utilização do
comércio electrónico no mercado social. Para o autor “existe uma
convergência no associar das redes sociais às compras e venda online […]
esse é o futuro do comércio electrónico”.
Outra boa dica do nosso amigo Affonso Orciuoli, da Digi-Fab USB, é este Site fascinante sobre Design Interactivo, de Rodrigo Medina, a Design Playgrounds:

After suffering a stroke or spinal cord injury, a patient regaining
their ability to walk typically requires three to five physical
therapists supporting them while physically moving their limbs. This is
not only physically exhausting, but leaves therapists at risk of
personal injury. Now, the leading health care facilities in Korea have
adopted a rehab robot that only requires one therapist – the Walkbot
combines an adjustable lower-body robotic exoskeleton that moves a patient's legs in time with a treadmill.

Eis um Instructable que vai agradar a todos, como fazer aquela Cera de Maquinação que vos permite usar as vossas Fresas CNC para testarem as vossas ideias, antes de começarem a gastar Material bem mais caro...
Mas quando chegar a minha Dremel Trio, acho que vou fazer umas peças assim, mesmo sem CNC!
A major issue that I ran into when I first started working with my new
CNC machine was the cost of raw materials to machine. Sure, a block of
plastic is not terribly expensive by itself – but figure in the cost
after you mess something up and the cost becomes quite unreasonable. For
this reason, I began looking into machinable wax.
Machinable wax is a very hard wax that won’t gum up a cutting tool, is
soft enough to machine quickly and most importantly is completely
reusable! Since I am cheap, I decided to make my own, which is actually
quite simple and could be considered environmentally friendly since we
use recycled plastic bags. Be aware that this Instructable is DANGEROUS!
We will be melting wax
around 300* and this wax will be thick and sticky so it will literally burn your skin off faster than you can say “OUCH!”
Ainda me lembro do Commodore Amiga, e das Músicas que se faziam, com o OctaMed, e outros, no Formato Mod...
Pois eis uma Raspberry Pi que se teansforma num Toca-Mods:
Portable native MOD player based on Raspberry PI (plays MOD,S3M,IT,XM etc...). Uses BassPlay library.
Mr.Holub
Description:
Raspberry-PI based native MOD player to play music modules MOD,S3M,IT,XM among others.
It uses command-line player based on bass-play libraries.
Short description of music modules:
Music modules originates from Amiga computers, later were transferred to another platforms.
The main principe is the file containing sound samples and patterns
containing information of when and how particular sound should be
played.
As there are players for Windows, Linux and other platforms nowadays,
portable players can play just mp3 files which was my motivation to
construct this player.

Double Mirror Right Angle Drilling Guide
kentdvm
Drilling a straight hole can be difficult because you can only see one
side of the bit at a time. Without a lot of practice, many of the holes
end up perpendicular in one plane and not so perpendicular in the
other. Drilling with a conventional guide (2 blocks at 90°) works in
some applications, but when using short bits there's not enough room.
This is quick, cheap & easy drilling guide will help you bore
accurate holes even with small bits. Using two small mirrors, it works
similar to a dressing room mirror to help you view the bit from all
angles. When all the bits are parallel, start drilling. It's that
easy.

Scientists copy structure of cork to produce 3D blocks of graphene
Ben Coxworth
Imagine how limiting it would be if steel, wood or plastic only
existed in the form of thin sheets. Well, that’s been the case so far
when it comes to graphene. While its incredible strength and high
conductivity make it very useful in things like semiconductors, batteries and solar cells,
there’s no doubt that it would be even more useful if it could be
produced in three-dimensional blocks. Scientists at Australia’s Monash
University have now managed to do just that – by copying the structure
of cork.
Graphene itself takes the form of a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon
atoms linked in a hexagonal pattern. According to lead researcher Prof.
Dan Li, 3D structures assembled from those one-dimensional sheets have
tended to be brittle. Cork, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional
material that’s known for both its strength and elasticity. Li’s team
observed that while the fibers in cork cell walls are closely-packed for
maximum strength, the individual cells are linked in a honeycomb structure, which allows the material to stretch and contract.

Escape Belt releases your seat belt when your car fills with water
Ben Coxworth
For most of us, chances are that we will never be in a car that plunges
into the water. However, if you consider yourself “at risk” for that
sort of eventuality – say, if you’re a rally driver or Jason Bourne –
you might be interested in the Escape Belt. It automatically releases
your seat belt when exposed to water.

Dica de Paulo Costa, através dos nossos amigos da DIGI-FAB USP, eis Codeable Objects, de Jennifer Jacobs, para fazerem Atrefactos usando Computação Geométrica, para adicionarem estructuras à vossa Impressão 3D:
Codeable Objects
Codeable Objects is a library for Processing
that enables novice coders, designers and artists to rapidly design,
customize and construct artifacts using geometric computation and
digital fabrication. The programming methods provided by the library
allow the user to program a variety of structures and designs with
simple code and geometry. When the user compiles their code, the
software outputs tool paths based on their specifications, which can be
used in conjunction with digital fabrication tools to build their
object.
The first case study for the Codeable Objects library was conducted
with a set of methods that facilitated the creation of a laser cut
lamp. To test the library, I held a workshop at the MIT Media Lab. Over
the course of a day, participants used the library to design, and
construct lamps of their own. All of the lamps displayed in the images
were created by people in the workshop.

3D Printing Reinvigorating WoodSculpture
We get to see a lot of amazing uses for 3D printing here at Shapeways, but this technique is new to me! Ben Godi from Italian company 3D Wood shares a really interesting technique that combines 3D printing and traditional wood turning.
In his words...
Hi I'm Ben and I would like to share a production process I have
developed this year, together with a local wood carving company 3D Wood. We
already use this production pipeline daily now, because it has so many
advantages and Shapeways plays a major role! (how could it be
otherwise!) I'm going to explain the steps with the help of two models
that are for sale on my website.

Mini CNC case study
Albanetc
This is what I made tonight. This is just a wheel. I wanted to test how
it would come out before cutting the inertial damper wheels for
steppers. It took about 10 minutes to cut, using tungsten carbide bit,
speed setting 2, pass depth of 0.02" and feedrate of 12 IPM. I got these
parameters from earlier mini router experiments/tests.

Installing snowblower on Kubota BX tractor
nlinventor
Fist snow of the year this morning and more is forecast for tomorrow so
I got the snowblower on just in time. This rear mounted Kubota
snowblower does a good job clearing snow but getting it installed is
always a bit of a challenge, especially as it's something done just once
a year so you don't get much opportunity to develop smooth installation
techniques.
I stored the snowblower and 3-point hitch parts under a tarp all summer,
but even with that, a lot of oil and grease evaporated and some rust
set in. I live in a damp climate so that doesn't help any.
The photo above shows the snowblower fully installed, adjusted and lubricated.

Sliding Dog Gate Protects Door from Scratches
KentM
Anyone with a dog knows that if you let them out to do their business
you better be waiting by the door when they want to come back in. If
you're not, it's a sure bet that they will be scratching at the door
trying to get your attention and, the bigger the dog, the greater the
damage. This instructable is a classic example of my "closing the barn
door after the horse got out" but, hopefully, it will save your door
before it meets the same fate as mine.
