Nikon is extending its Dxxxx series with a new DSLR camera, the Nikon D7000. This is part of a nice series of cameras, the D3100, D5000 and now also the Nikon D7000. A Nikon D9000 might just be the next model… The new Nikon D7000 is a whole new DSLR camera generation and falls between the Nikon D5000 and the D90, at least in terms of pricing. The D90 is still part of the picture, at least until it gets a successor (the D9000?). This Nikon DSLR is a camera aimed at the serious amateur photographer and offers a full package of camera-settings for creative photography as well as videography, as the Nikon D7000 supports Full HD 1080p video.

16,2 megapixel Nikon D7000 DSLR camera
With the Nikon D7000 and the recently introduced D3100, Nikon is setting a new trend within the Nikon camera family, which is a clear increase in the amount of effective pixels. Right now, a situation has emerged in which the amateur series of Nikon DSLR cameras have a resolution of 10 - 16 Megapixels and the semi-professional and professional DSLR cameras almost all have 12, and the D3x have 24 Megapixels. The expectation is that a shift will also take place in the Pro cameras. If that will be before the end of the year is still up in the air.

Nikon D7000 equipped with fast Expeed 2 processor
The 16 Megapixels resolution is processed by the new and fast EXPEED 2 processor. This powerful processor forms the core of the camera and processes complex calculations. Such a source of power is not for nothing, as it not only delivers high-resolution photos, but the Nikon D7000 also supports Full HD video (1080p). There is yet more specialization, from the videographer and camera crew sector, and we see all kinds of creative productions appear from that sector. Although at first there was a lot of criticism for video and DSLR, this criticism is now being phased out to make room for often impressive HD video clips.

The Nikon D7000 is expected to challenge the amateur to shoot video in Full HD. Continual focusing, although this is not as speedy as it is during photography, makes shooting video a lot simpler. The video clips are recorded in MPEG4 H.264 compression and can be enhanced by connecting an external stereo. If you want to do more serious filming with the Nikon D7000, you will have to consider using an external microphone.

History Robotics

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots.[3] Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software.[4] The word "robot" was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920. The term "robotics" was coined by Isaac Asimov in his 1941 science fiction short-story "Liar!"

Stories of artificial helpers and companions and attempts to create them have a long history.

The word robot was introduced to the public by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920. The play begins in a factory that makes artificial people called robots creatures who can be mistaken for humans - though they are closer to the modern ideas of androids. Karel Čapek himself did not coin the word. He wrote a short letter in reference to an etymology in the Oxford English Dictionary in which he named his brother Josef Čapek as its actual originated.
In 1927 the Maschinenmensch ("machine-human") gynoid humanoid robot (also called "Parody", "Futura", "Robotrix", or the "Maria impersonator") was the first and perhaps the most memorable depiction of a robot ever to appear on film was played by German actress Brigitte Helm) in Fritz Lang's film Metropolis.
In 1942 the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov formulated his Three Laws of Robotics and, in the process of doing so, coined the word "robotics".
In 1948 Norbert Wiener formulated the principles of cybernetics, the basis of practical robotics.
Fully autonomous robots only appeared in the second half of the 20th century. The first digitally operated and programmable robot, the Unimate, was installed in 1961 to lift hot pieces of metal from a die casting machine and stack them. Commercial and industrial robots are widespread today and used to perform jobs more cheaply, or more accurately and reliably, than humans. They are also employed in jobs which are too dirty, dangerous, or dull to be suitable for humans. Robots are widely used in manufacturing, assembly, packing and packaging, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, safety, and the mass production of consumer and industrial goods.

A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations, and planning levels of an organization and help to make decisions, which may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance.
DSSs include knowledge-based systems. A properly designed DSS is an interactive software-based system intended to help decision makers compile useful information from a combination of raw data, documents, personal knowledge, or business models to identify and solve problems and make decisions.
Typical information that a decision support application might gather and present are:
inventories of information assets (including legacy and relational data sources, cubes, data warehouses, and data marts),
comparative sales figures between one period and the next,
projected revenue figures based on product sales assumption

central processing unit

central processing unit is a microscopic circuitry that serves as the main information processor in a computer. Or, in other word, it is the brains of the computer. Sometimes CPU is referred to simply as the processor or central processor. The CPU is where most calculation take place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system. Standard CPU contain processing unit that interpret and implement software instructions,perform calculation and comparisons, make another of the CPU processing unit,keep track of the current step in the execution of the program and allow the CPU to communicate with the rest of the computer.
