The Smart Board interactive whiteboard is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input, scrolling, right mouse-click – in the same way normal PC input devices, such as a mouse or keyboard, detect input. A projector is used to display a computer's video output on the interactive whiteboard, which then acts as a large touch screen. The Smart Board typically comes with four digital pens, which use digital ink and replace traditional whiteboard markers. Most Smart Board interactive whiteboards register only one touch at a time however, in June 2009, Smart Technologies introduced their first dual-touch interactive whiteboard

Ford Raptor

Ford Raptor

Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) turned a new 4WD F-150 into an off-road competitor when it built the SVT Raptor. One important change is a new front suspension that gives the SVT a wider stance (7" wider than the typical F-150) and enhances its stability during higher-speed off-road adventures.
Exceptional suspension travel (13.4" in the rear and 11.2" in the front) allows the truck's tires to stay in contact with the ground when traveling over irregular surfaces, and internal bypass shocks  help the Raptor handle rough terrain, and to land safely after going airborne

The Future of Body Armur

A liquid armour has been shown to stop bullets in tests carried out by UK scientists at BAE systems in Bristol.The researchers have combined this "shear-thickening" liquid with Kevlar to create a new bullet-proof material.The company is keeping the chemical formula of the liquid a secret,but it works by absorbing the force of the bullet strike and responding to it by becoming much thicker and more sticky.

Body Armour

Personal armor is the whole of protecting clothing, designed to absorb and/or deflect slashing, bludgeoning, and penetrating attacks. They were historically used to protect soldiers, whereas today, they are also used to protect police forces, private citizens and private secrity guards or bodyguards. Two types exist: regular non-plated personal armor (used by the people mentioned above, except combat soldiers) and hard-plate reinforced personal armor, which is used by combat soldiers, police tactical units and hostage rescue teams.
