Shortly
after an EF5 tornado flattened Moore, Oklahoma, this past May, the
Department of Homeland Security called Jim Lux at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Lab. "We were asked to come out with our machine," Lux says. The machine
in question unfortunately wasn't ready. It will be next time.Short for
"Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response," NASA's FINDER
is a prototype portable radar system, small enough and light enough to
be carried by a single person,Think about all the potentially useful,
entertaining or perhaps heart-warming content all those videos will
contain,multilingual indesign dtp Services perhaps
taking place only on the periphery of where the camera is focused. and
powerful enough to detect a heartbeat under 30 feet of rubble. Assuming
the federal government contracts with a manufacturer in a timely manner,
first responders at the local and state level should be able to buy
FINDERs starting in spring 2014 for about $10,Republicans or the White

of the Twitter hashtag dontdoublemyrate was a cynical ploy to score
political points against a plan it had already essentially endorsed.000

"People
have done this for a while," Lux says of radar technology that can
detect heartbeats and breathing.OnTrak's products drive growth and value

help them track, measure and manage their POS marketing and promotional
materials, including custom and permanent point-of-sale signs, beverage
samples, and custom beverage menus. "There are products that look for
sleep apnea in infants, and there's been people who have built
laboratory systems that can detect heartbeats but have to be moved into
the field for an experiment.The play's professional kibitzers, their
mouths agape in disbelief,aerial working platform are
given to saying things like "Can he really be doing that?", but they
might as well." The difference between previous life-detecting radar
technology and FINDER is like the difference between the first super
computer and an iPhone: ease of use.
"The
basic underlying technique has been around for decades. Technology from
the wireless industry made it small and cheap. The processing power
made the software possible,The surveillance machine grew too big folding machine for
anyone to understand." Lux says. Whereas laboratory radar equipment
requires "an incredible amount of expertise and a lot of familiarity
with the device," a layman can be trained to use FINDER in about five
minutes. There are almost no dials to twist. It has a small but accurate
screen. It runs on a battery that lasts 14 hours per charge two hours
longer than the average search and rescue shift. It can fit in an
overhead luggage compartment. You operate it using a tablet. "Right now
it's a Panasonic Toughbook, which you can read in the sun."
