deaf entrepreneurs develop a tablet case that interprets gestures

Although 70 million of deaf people use sign language as their mother tongue, not everyone knows it, so communication is still a challenge.

Now, a team of entrepreneurs, all deaf, has come up with a tablet case called Uni that can translate sign language into text displayed on the tablet, bridging the gap between deaf and hearing.

Up MotionSavvy led the development of translation software that powered the Uni tablet case.

Designed for Dell Venue 8 Pro tablets, this tablet retails for about $320 (£200)

, But the version of the Android device and iOS device is in progress.

Sensing technology to read sign language and translate it into real text on a tablet screen

Deaf people translate sign language, and deaf people make it easier to understand.

Sensing technology enables the camera to sense hand movements up to 1 feet metres away.

American Sign Language for entrepreneurs (ASL)

Identify the software interpretation symbols and match them with the symbol database to translate them into the correct words.

Whenever someone signs, Uni\'s software remembers their actions and improves their translation.

Learning the user\'s personal signature style will become smarter.

The tool also allows ASL users to add their own symbols saved to the dictionary.

Their manual work is actually displayed on the screen.

Users can see if the software misunderstood their logo.

Uni also uses a microphone to detect voice and display it on the screen of the tablet for deaf people to read, which can be useful in situations where lip reading is difficult.

Entrepreneurs from the Rochester Institute of Technology for the National Deaf are raising money on Indiegogo to put their equipment into production.

Uni available for pre-Order for $198 (£124).

Shipment is expected in September 2015. A $20-a-

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
