The principle: Take out your smartphone, open the app, aim it at the object being scanned -- such as an apple -- and get the desired information, for instance, whether an apple contains pesticide residues.

Although systems that perform such scans already exist, users usually have to clamp additional parts such as a prism onto the front of the integrated camera. This is costly and impractical and additionally interferes with a smartphone's design. "What makes our app special is that users don't need anything for a scan other than the camera already integrated in their smartphones," says Prof. Udo Seiffert, Expert Group Manager at the Fraunhofer IFF.

So since they're already communicators and miniature computers, might as well throw sensors and scanning systems in there too, right?

Im so sorry to hear this Nicole

heya all, after gaining permission, i've come to ask the fleet for help

i'm currently having my house foreclosed, as well as pretty much running out of money (i have a little over $20 left to my name), i'm also disabled (and denied SSI too, double whammy)

so i'm asking the fleet, since i know ya'll are great people, if you could help me by sharing, and possibly donating, to my gofundme to keep me afloat for the rest of the month

at the end of the month, i've got a friend who's letting me move in with them til i can get back on my feet financially, but i need to actually make it to that time, and that means food (which is dwindling, i'm down to pretty much ramen), money for bills (i have a bunch overdue), and if i'm lucky...the money for a moving truck (otherwise its gonna be what my friend can fit in his car)

i'll leave the link for the gofundme here, its got the full story: https://www.gofundme.com/nicks-foreclosure-emergency-fund

and if you need to get ahold of me if you have any questions, and please do direct any questions my way, i'll leave my contact info below

I have a question about playstyle. I dropped it over in the Battle Clinic: http://www.stonewallgaming.net/notes/102795

sorry folks, I feel like I am not seeing new comments to posts on the regular. However, if you swap to full 3 piece Iconian, and look into the "Xenotech Powerflow Module" from K-13 that focuses on [EPS] and [Pen] you will have improved your DPS immediately.

Your Skills are good. As Tact. I would not change them at this time.

Your Boff layout is a little confusing to me. Since, you are using cannons for this build I would at least have a rapid fire 2. You can get rid of Heisenberg amplifier, Entropic cascade is much better if you are going temporal. Beam target Aux is also lack luster, I would use attack pattern Omega 1 or rapid fire.

I am not sure who your boffs are, but your Boffs can help a lot too, Romulan SRO from the Embassy could help a bit for tact and if you have the hierarchy boff, use them in the science seat for a cat 2 bonus to DPS.

Here is the adjusted build. http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/ff02363aaa7d45c144a6587cd56ba6c8.

Thanks!

I'm not the Shipwright, but what is the theme of your ship build? What is it that you're trying to accomplish?

I'm seeing one thing, but I'd like to know from you. I have a different playstyle and focus from what you've built.

If I can convince my friend to go with me I will go. Hate to go to a convention by myself

Hey Fleetie Darlings, just a quick update. General Admission Weekend tickets have just been posted to the creation site:

http://www.creationent.com/cal/st_lasvegas_tickets.html#general

The price is $245 and includes all 5 days of the convention. I'd recommend getting them sooner rather than later as last year they did sell out rather quickly.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Season 12 #LaunchParty!  We hope that you enjoyed hanging out with us all on TeamSpeak and in fleet chat!  Thanks to everyone who joined us for our many PvE queue runs, battlezone runs, random questions and Trek Trivia!  Congratulations to @Jacien for winning our impromptu trivia quiz! Share your Season 12 screenshots in the thread.  Here are some screenies from one of our "Gravity Kills" PvE queue runs (@GXV3, @Gravity, @Ereiid, @WhiteOnmyoji and @Voleron).  See you in-game throughout the week!

@Teknomancer No specific schedule.  I'll be on starting in an hour or so and we'll all just game throughout the day. We'll do some random fun events in between running the new queues, but there's no formal schedule - just us all informally getting together to play!

@GXV3 See ya later in the day!!

I should be on & off throughout the day, mainly grinding omega upgrades I think. Is there a more specific timeframe than just "whenever?"

Have fun today, soon as im off work later on tonight Ill catch you all hopfully

REMINDER: Don't forget to join us this coming Saturday for the Season 12 #LaunchParty!  See this thread for details.

I know how you feel Gravity, I was feeling that as well, and now I can calm down as the family member is going to be fine we just have to watch the sugar levels, and keep the stressful relative away.

Apologies life has been hectic for me i shall push this to the top if my list of priorities.

Gravity,

I am sorry to disturb you, but I'm in the middle of a Charlie Foxtrit, a week ago I made a request for a revised ship build, as well as done the google forms and listed everything in my inventory, as well as bridge officers and duty officers.

At the time when I made the post, I added that there was no rush, but now...I don't know what's going on with a family member. All I would like to know is if my build is being looked at. If I'm blocked from requesting ship builds, I was not notified of that.

And I don't know how to send someone else a note.

Thank you for any help or assistance you can give me
And thank you for helping me with this distraction

Good day,

Before I posted the link to my ship, I also did the google forms about five-twenty minutes before.

I am sorry to keep pressing you on this, but I have a Charlie Foxtrot situation and I need a distraction to keep from worrying, all I need to know is if it's being looked at, if it is; great then I know it's coming soon.

I hope to go, I'd love to go. Unfortunately any long term plans are on hold right now.
