Polaris’ pool-cleaning robots get updated with added intelligence, four-wheel drive

Polaris' pool-cleaning robots get updated with added intelligence, four-wheel drive

It’s been almost exactly a year since Zodiac Pool Systems last expanded its line of Polaris-branded pool-cleaning robots, and it’s now back with two more additions that fill out the top and bottom end of its lineup. That includes the company’s most advanced robot to date, the $1499 Polaris 9400 Sport (pictured above), which adds four-wheel drive for the first time, as well as the company’s new accelerometer-enhanced ActivMotion Sensor technology — something Polaris says allows the robot to continually sense where it is in the pool and optimize its cleaning action accordingly. The 9100 Sport, on the other hand, gets neither of those new additions, but it’ll “only” set you back $799, and will still clean pools up to 40 feet long in about two hours. You can get a closer look at those, as well as the company’s existing offerings, at the source link below.

Space Shuttle Discovery mounted on 747 for ride to Smithsonian (+video)

Posted on April 20, 2012 by womhnus

The retired Space Shuttle Discovery is now sitting on top of NASA’s modified jumbo jet, in preparation for its delivery to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

NASA mounted space shuttle Discovery on a jumbo jet Sunday (April 15), in preparation for the retired orbiter’s delivery to the Smithsonian. The paired air- and spacecraft are expected to depart Florida for Washington, D.C., on Tuesday morning (April 17), weather permitting.

Skip to next paragraph The Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off for the last time on February 24, 2011.

Discovery’s mating to the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft?(SCA), NASA’s modified Boeing 747 jetliner, came a day later than the space agency had planned. On Saturday,?wind gusts?at the Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility set the 167,000 pound (75,300 kilogram) Discovery swaying under its lift sling, posing a risk that it could impact the Mate Demate Device (MDD), the gantry-like steel structure used to hoist the shuttle onto the jetliner.

Workers reconvened at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT) on Sunday, to finish retracting the shuttle’s landing gear. They then raised the orbiter 60 feet (18 meters) off the ground so that the carrier aircraft could be positioned underneath. Discovery was then lowered onto the jumbo jet’s three protruding attach points to achieve a “soft” mating.

Work continued throughout the day Sunday to secure, or “hard” mate, Discovery to the 747, before removing the hoist sling and backing the paired vehicles out of the MDD on Monday morning. [How Space Shuttles Fly on 747 Jets (Photos)]

“Assuming the weather is good, we’ll back out [of the Mate-Demate Device] in the morning, That will give a whole day of opportunity for the media, the public, and for our employees to come out and get a good view of Discovery’s last time on top of a 747 here at Kennedy Space Center,” said Stephanie Stilson, flow director for the transition and retirement for the space shuttle orbiters. [Gallery: Discovery Mated to Jumbo Jet]

Among the space program workers expected to come out and view Discovery on Monday are the members of its 39th and final spaceflight, the six astronauts who flew the STS-133 mission in March 2011.

According to Stilson, who also led the ground processing for Discovery’s last 11 missions, seeing it be readied for one last ferry flight was eliciting mixed feelings.

“It’s hard not to be happy, because we have achieved another one of our goals,” Stilson told collectSPACE.com. “That is how we look at things. We have a job to do, and that is to get?Discovery to the Smithsonian. So this is the next step to get there. So we’re very happy because everything has gone well to get to this point.”

ASUS won’t release Transformer Prime GPS dongle outside of America, Taiwan (updated)

Posted on April 19, 2012 by womhnus

We’re afraid we’ve got some bad news. Transformer Prime users outside of America and Taiwan won’t receive a GPS dongle to address their tablet’s lackluster mapping performance. The company confirmed on its Italian Facebook page that while it was advertised in the US and Taiwan as having “Full GPS,” once issues were found, the European advertising was changed to read “GPS Locator” — in short: it’s not its problem, go away. We’ve included a machine-translated version below so you can hear it from the horse’s mouth Facebook wall and we apologize in advance for any errors.

“Guys confirm that the initiative is reserved for those territories where Prime was marketed with the GPS between the specifications of the product. So mainly the U.S. and Taiwan. In Italy Prime was marketed with a GPS locator, and not with a “Full” as car navigation. Function that we believe the rest is useless in combination with a tablet. Customers who bought Prime has done with the understanding that GPS is not present, then from our side there were no broken promises or misleading claims. We do not understand then what the reason of your critical Riccardo. Among other things, the satisfaction level of users who bought Prime is very high. In sharp contrast with what you say. It means that the product performs its function very well”

Update: Looks like there’s some confusion between the company’s Italian arm and the rest of Europe. Readers have forwarded links to various European-country pages to apply for a dongle before July 31st this year.

[Thanks, Carmine]
