One of the most difficult challenges in the Car Wash Industry is of course the labor. The Car Wash Industry is one of the most labor-intensive businesses there is and controlling the labor costs is a key to profitability. But finding low cost labor must be complimented with finding the quality labor, which is well groomed, honest and respectful of the customers and their cars. If not you will lose customers and repeat business.Most full service car washes average about a 15-20% regular customer rate and to sustain a higher repeat customer grouping the customer has to feel good about their car wash experience. If this is done correctly the repeat business will be paralleled by word of mouth referrals...

In the past one of the issues with automatic drive thru truck washes was that well, they did not work as well as one might think. There were and still are some issues with their ability to get the Trucks perfectly clean, which is the main objective. Sure they knock off most of the dirt and it is good enough for government work as they say, but for an independent truck driver with chrome and polished aluminum they leave a lot to be desired indeed.Our company; The Truck Wash Guys in the past have forgone the automated truck washes as a major strategy. It is due to this reason of performance to adequately clean the trucks to perfection or near perfection that we had shied away from the concept of...

Mini electric airsoft guns are replicas of real guns from around the world. They run on AA or AAA batteries and are usually full automatic. They fire auto air pellets in miniature size. They are quality weapons that are made to play games inside or in a neighborhood where a real looking gun is not allowed. They hold about 50 shots, have a good range are said to be great for impromptu games and for kids.There are many types of Mini Airsoft guns including the AK47 that weighs 410g ? one of the heaviest of the mini guns series. The G3A3 mini airsoft guns weigh 375g and have a length of 300 mm with a capacity of 80rd. The M16 mini air soft gun has a length of has a length of 300mm and weighs 410g with a...

The future car, lets say a 2025 model will be a very different machine to its present day Grandfather. They will be packed with computers and safety devices ensuring that not even a stunt driver can crash, and they will run on carbon dioxide and emit strawberry scented oxygen. Well they might.Predictions of future vehicles are usually wildly inaccurate, by now we should all have space programs to rival NASA based out of our backyard. However some of the automobile related cutting edge technology emerging now may well make it into production models of the future. But how much of this technology will be needed or even wanted? Car design of the present is already influenced by politicians, bureaucrats...

As a general rule, the best quantities are available for flights that leave Monday to Thursday and on national flights many business that can be found one Saturday. Almost travellers will invariably pay more for one Friday or flight of Sunday. The most greater part of operators of party will offer the best quantities for those that purchase fixed once in advance, normally at least 14 days. If it is possible to be a this it will also give place Saturday evening, normally to a lower rate. If you are going to a country that lies in the distant part of the world from Your house, you are the most greater part it likes to take plain, if Your trip is not maritime cruise. Airplane is the fastest and the...

With the release of I ROBOT, one is immediately reminded of Professor Ken Warwick, and the research or experiments that he was involved in. His chip implant in 1998 was the source of some curiosity and debate. His building was retro-wired to interact with his movement or position within it. Doors could open and lights were configured to illuminate his journey throughout. So, his environmental control was somewhat extended, in this case to the limits, or within the perimeter of a building. His influence was increased. It was more about Cyborgs though, which is a robot and a human, in one or many configurations...

Renaissance humanism saw no mutually exclusive polarities between the sciences and the arts, and as impressive and innovative as Leonardo's artistic work are his studies in science and engineering, recorded in notebooks comprising some 13,000 pages of notes and drawings, which fuse art and science. These notes were made and maintained through Leonardo's travels through Europe, during which he made continual observations of the world around him. He was left-handed and used mirror writing throughout his life. This is explainable by the fact that it is easier to pull a quill pen than to push it; by using mirror-writing, the left-handed writer is able to pull the pen from right to...

I propose a Giant Walking Robot for border patrol and for robotic surveillance of critical infrastructure or military bases. I propose that these units be at first run tele-robotically like the Predator Drones and eventually after the DARPA Challenge II completely autonomously after that technology comes on line. Until then these units will have command and control centers manned with operators.Front View: View: is a simulator, which we can use for the command and control rescue center: also propose that the feet contain hollow tubes and are made of new high-tech composites which have giant vacuum tubes in them which suck up the sand or dirt each time they pick up their feet to prevent making dust...

Computer forensics software programs are used to detect computer frauds, crimes, etc., automatically, without retaining the services of a computer forensic specialist. Software solution processes detect operations done on a computer illegally or without authorization.The detection by these tools or software is documented and produced in a court of law.A number of companies such as AccessData and WetStone are developing applications that automatically generate forensic responses, eliminating the services of a computer forensic specialist. By installing such software, a lot of expenditure can be eliminated.It is only when the software fails or finds itself inadequate that computer forensics...

You know why I like the Reality Television Series from Donald Trump? Well, because I love it when they fire Lawyers on the show? Anytime a lawyer is on the show I just love to see them get canned in disgrace you see? I foresee a glorious future when there are no more lawyers at all.A future with artificially intelligent robotic android lawyers and perhaps when a lawyer dies we simply stick their heads on one of these android robotic bodies and make them live the rest of eternity as a humanoid robot. A living hell if you will trapped in their little world of made up lies and words...

We have a really big problem in the United States with police departments who cannot get enough policemen to fulfill their obligations to protect their cities. Why is this? Well, a few reasons really, you see after 9-11 the TSA Transportation Safety Administration and the DOT Department of Transportation started paying more money and actively recruiting.This competition for qualified personnel made it tougher for the local police departments. Next the Department of Homeland Security was formed as an umbrella policing organization, which encompassed everything from Border Patrol to the United States Coast Guard and they added more people. This added more competition and now not only are the local...

Do you have thoughts on how to design or program an artificially intelligent robot? Well I do and so let me just mention a concept to you, stream of consciousness and merely thinking out loud along with some of my award winning ramblings often viewed by millions.My current thoughts on this include when the AI system learns something new, it should start a new XML data base and put in the who, what, when, where and why of each piece of data; then once those square are filled in, it can cross reference with the other data already stored. In other words the AI system must be programming itself. Some say this is too difficult. Yet as I study the .php scripts on the Internet, and how they create a new...

I finally gave into the "evils" of Microsoft and invested in their Next Generation console. Why. the delay in ps3 coupled with the delay in Ghost Recon on PC. The more reviews I read, the more it convinced me that 360 was made up of excellent hardware that was finally being used. So I blew up my credit card, pissed off my wife and invested in more computer hardware that I may not need. But hell I work at it, so keeping up to date with all technology is my job (or so I keep telling myself).First impressions: As you install the 360 the first thing that hits you, is the physical weight of the machine. Small but weights much the same as a concrete block.The desktop and configuration of the systems...

Both the countries in the European Union and Asia are putting over ten times the development monies in research and development that the United States is into Robotics. The Japanese Automakers are far ahead of their US counterparts at General Motors and Ford. In fact Daimler Chrysler is as well.Japanese are quickly advancing android style robots, which look like you or I, they come in male or female, clothed or nude, Blonde or Brunette and red headed ones too. They can walk, run or even kick a soccer ball and teach school kids the game of soccer. They have robots, which do surgeries, operate trolley cars or even guard a bank at night. United States is falling behind and the rest of the world...

First I would like to stress I am condoning the art of hacking. Nor am I condoning the control and manipulation of the human race by way of frequencies interacting with the biological systems, which run the human body. We all know that the brain runs on chemicals and waves. We know from medicines, vitamins, alcohol, drugs and food intake that we can alter those chemicals. And most of us understand that brain waves are about allow for the process of cognition. The computers we use also run on frequencies which are use to hearing about for instance Pentium Chips running 1.2 GigaHertz. Cell phones run 800 MHz approximately. Also the power supply in a computer runs on a certain cycle creating another...

You operate a concession trailer or mobile catering truck and what you probably do not realize is that you share a common problem with the US Navy, Army, and Coast Guard.When the US Navy had heat build-up problems with their remote control vehicle trailers; when the US Army had heat build-up problems on their Patriot Missile Launchers; when the US Coast Guard had heat build-up problems on the decks of their coastal patrol ships based in Miami and Puerto Rico they all went looking for a solution. They required a solution that did not involve additional power to support supplemental air conditioning systems...

In the future we will have artificially intelligent manufacturing robots that are much similar to doubt which we see in the automaking industry. In fact there will soon be a time when robots are actually making robots. That is to say artificially intelligent self-assembly in robotic factories. These robotic factories will do their own scheduling and workflows and maintain a constant operation to support the efficiency needed to make them produce hundreds of thousands of artificially intelligent robotic androids. While this be necessary? Because we will need to build robotic arms and we'll need to build artificially intelligent robots for consumer markets in the home.Figure it likes third...

When working on bricklaying you will see that it is an operation that repeats itself a lot and also is very challenging physically speaking. This being the case you can imagine that somebody, someday would have though of a solution, an automated solution. Also, another problem that appears is the lack of qualified workers and because of these facts the automated bricklayer was invented.The newly designed machine is called the Mobile Bricklaying Robot and is said to help a lot. It can take bricks from a prepared pile, will apply material and will lay the bricks in an appropriate manner. The technology behind it has been developing for some time now and the prototype works great as reviewer said. As...

A data logger is a solid state device used to measure and record analogue and / or digital inputs from sensors or other instruments. Typically these sensors or other instruments will themselves be measuring environmental or process parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, level, wind speed, wind direction, and many other physical properties. A data logger is a stand alone recording device. It does not need a PC to store it's data. There are many types of data logger. However they fall into two broad categories. 1) Small compact battery powered data logger for use in remote locations or in application where weight and space available is critical 2) Large multi channel data logger...

Article Marketing, the practice of submitting articles to article directories and ezine mail lists to gain link exposure, is going through an explosive phase in popularity right now. Contributing to this trend is the emergence of automated article submission software that allows authors to send their articles to hundreds of article publishers at the push of a button. The promise for small businesses and home-based entrepreneurs looking to increase marketing channels should be immediately obvious. If you use article marketing to get your message out you already know that the bottleneck is not in the writing of your well thought out and compelling articles. No, it is in the submission process. The...

Workflow refers to the operational portion of a work procedure. It has several aspects: how tasks are structured, who performs them, what their relative order is, how they are synchronized, how information flows to support the tasks and how tasks are being tracked.In business, particularly, workflow is concerned with scheduling task executions, ensuring dependencies.In traditional terms this means moving the paper, processing the order, issuing the invoice. It could also mean filling the order from the warehouse, assembling documents, parts, tools, and people to repair a complex system, or manufacturing the complex device.In the last 15 years, tools that manage workflow have been developed. More...

You can choose Your careerAre you one of the many people who don't feel pleasant with your current job or career? Have you worked in one career for many years, and found yourself burned out? Or do you feel that your life is not what it could be, because you can't take out your full potential in the job or career you are in? Changing careers and jobs is indeed an issue that concerns many of us. What's really amazing me is the fact that many people - myself included - are continuing in the same job or career year after year, even though they are sick and tired of it and really want to quit their jobs and start up with something else. I think this grounding is a part of human nature: it's a...

How would you like to see your children get excited about learning science? "Yeah, right", you're thinking. "You don't know MY kids". True, science doesn't rank very high on most kid's popularity lists. Oh sure, they get a kick out of seeing a mock volcano experiment or some other flashy science demonstration, but when it comes right down to actually learning the principles involved, well, that's a different story. But don't despair. There's still a hands-on learning approach that will teach the necessary knowledge while retaining the fun of those wacky science experiments that sometimes go awry. What exactly am I talking about? Educational science kits, that's what. Sales for children's...

Investing in robotic equipment can be a big leap for a small business. Industrial robots have been automating tasks since 1961. The first industrial robot, the Unimate, worked with the die casting machines at a General Motors plant. In the last decade there has been a surge of robots being integrated into mid-sized and smaller companies. One reason is the growth and affordability of the used robot market. With the leaps made in controls technology, companies are upgrading robots before the current model has finished its life-span. However, the overall functionality of the six-axis articulated arm has not changed in the last decade. As companies consolidate and reorganize, the factory surplus is sold...

Trojan Horse - One Mans "Worse Case Scenario" Prediction --------------------- This is a fictional article about a Trojan Horse Virus, or you could say it is one mans prediction of a "worse case scenario". Because of the field I'm in, I maintain a personal list of my top 10 "worse case scenarios". Every time I perform a security assessment I run into something new or identify a situation that is ripe for a potential vulnerability. I think we could all agree that no respectable or ethical company would intentionally deliver a malicious piece of code as part of a helpful update solution. However, the reality is that human beings are behind technology and human beings are unpredictable and fallible...

In recent years, science fiction movies have made a big comeback in Hollywood and I, for one, consider that a very good thing.I like to be surprised when I go to the movies. I like to see things that I've never seen before and I like to be confronted by virtual realities that I did not even think possible. That's why science fiction movies are my cup of tea.They traditionally cover a wide range of subjects and themes, including several that are uniquely their own. Today's trend in science fiction puts a premium on special effects, backed by today's cutting-edge technology that can make even the most bizarre scenes seem realistic, such as alien life forms, spectacular battles in outer space, time...

No matter what industry Spanish language translators translate work in, they all seem to have at least one thing in common: defending their profession against those who believe that automatic Spanish translation tools can replace professional translators.This is one of the biggest myths that translators have to deal with on a daily basis and even though we are constantly trying to educate our clients and others about this misconception, it still seems that many people still believe it.Those who don't understand what it takes for a professional translator to accurately translate a document often say that automatic Spanish translation tools like those you can find online at various search engine...

The word robot comes from the Czech word "robota", meaning "forced labor." The stuff of science fiction robotics in the 21st century is different than your parents or your grandparents' ideas of robotics. What used to be thought of as futuristic improbability is now becoming a reality. There are, theoretically, three Laws of Robotics. The Laws of Robotics were developed by a small group of scientists who believe that robotics is the wave of the future. The first law, referred to as law zero, is that a robot may not injure humanity, or, though inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. The second law states that a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to...
