Mechanical engineering researchers are inventing game-changing technologies and developing a Renaissance in 3-D printing.

The cleanup and recovery process includes the deployment of approximately 20,000 feet of containment boom, a temporary floating barrier and skimmers. Seven skimmers are on scene and have recovered more than 3,825 barrels of product-water mixture. 

An earlier version of this article misspelled the given name of one of the parents charged in the college admissions scandal. She is Lori Loughlin, not Laurie.

There hasn’t yet been an efficiency study like those for the older Predator drones, so aside from anecdotal evidence from trials that CBP says are promising, it’s hard to say exactly how useful these tools are proving.

Nothing wrong with the watch, it’s just not something I’d want to pay for. The testing and certification is interesting, but unnecessary for my use. And everyone’s use, really.

First, since they don’t rely on the little periscope mechanism to deliver an image to the viewfinder, they make use of electronic viewfinders. These are like tiny TV screens, so they’re easier to use in the dark, and they double as heads-up displays for your current settings or information about the scene you’re capturing. Getting rid of the mirror—and by extension, the mechanism that moves the mirror when you press the shutter button—gives you an edge in other areas. For one, you can shoot totally silently—just press the button and capture an image with no mechanical “shutter noise.” The lack of a mechanical process also means you can shoot faster, often in bursts of 10 or more shots per second. Lastly, autofocus is faster in mirrorless cameras.

In the mid-15th century, a new technology that would change the course of history was invented. Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press, with its movable type, promoted the dissemination of information and ideas that is widely recognized as a major contributing factor for the Renaissance.

“We don’t want to buy tech that we think is a great idea, buy mass amounts of it and then not realize any value of it in the end,” said Harrison, who said the agency is continuing to use these technologies in relatively “small numbers” until they better understand how well they’re working and what scenarios they’re best suited for.

Steps included increasing its 70-employee workforce at its sole manufacturing facility in Oakland, California, where it's currently adding a third shift and building a second production line. In the short term, Brown personally recruited more than 100 volunteers from Impossible's R&D ranks to work 12-hour shifts in production, packing burgers into boxes and manning conveyor belts in 40-degree temperatures.

Finding better-paid employment abroad is a common dream for medical students in Bulgaria. But Sheip Panev is driven by a challenge much closer to home, as Rayna Breuer reports.

Privacy advocates worry that this could have dangerous implications for CBP to potentially spy on US residents in their daily lives.
