This technology is described as: Unlike a TV where
information only goes in one direction, this display
would respond to changes in the illumination around it,
like passing shadows or bright highlights.
This technology works because a series of raised parallel
lines create tiny lenses that project different images at
either vertical or horizontal angles. The effect can make
an image of a car appear like its moving down a road or ahand appear like its waving as you tilt the card one way
and then another". ID this technology which we can
expect in the near future.

the molecules responsible for the chemical processes of
life must be constructed primarily from carbon.

who have never encountered any life that has evolved
outside the earths environment, may find it difficult toenvision radically different biochemistries. The term was
used as early as 1973.
According to _________ _______ concept Carbon hasunique features that make it suitable for life possessed by

XY is a form of multi valued Y to deal with
reasoning that is approximate rather than precise.In contrast with traditionally used Y, the variables
may have a membership value of not only 0 or 1,
but the degree of truth of the statement can range
between 0 and 1.
When linguistic variables are used, these degrees
maybe managed by specific functions.its use remains controversial with statisticians who
prefer the traditional two value approach.

into great branches, and these into lesser and lesserbranches, were themselves once, when the tree was
young, budding twigs ... Of the many twigs which
flourished when the tree was a mere bush, only two or
three, now grown into great branches, yet survive andbear the other branches ...

Place a coin on it on its side and set it spinning. Take
some butter and spread it over a slice of bread. Pick up an
elastic band and stretch it. In each of these cases we dosomething that affects the shape or orientation of the
object in question. The elastic band and butter have been
deformed and the coin has been rotated.When we
investigate transformations mathematically we find thatthere are directions that remain the same after the
deformation has occurred.
In linear algebra,X are multipliers and are used torepresent how much something has been scaled up by
after the transformation.X??
