The UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies (TDPS) has partnered with Berkeley-based Meyer Sound to install a state-of-the-art audio system in the 550-seat Zellerbach Playhouse. Used by both TDPS and Cal Performances, the newly-installed Meyer Sound System will provide optimal acoustics for a broad range of events, including theatrical performance, dance concerts, lectures, workshops, classes and special events.
Generously underwritten by Bay Area sound innovators Meyer Sound, the audio solution includes UPJunior-XP VariO loudspeakers, UP-4XP loudspeakers, UMS-1P and 500-HP subwoofers, and a Galileo loudspeaker management system for system drive and alignment. Meyer Sound equipment has also been installed in TDPS?s other performance and studio spaces, including the 140-seat Durham Studio Theater and the Zellerbach Room 7 blackbox.
?The old audio system in The Playhouse had been in operation for more than 30 years and was still functional, but did n ...

Mit der Audiosoftware SpatialSound Wave von Fraunhofer lassen sich Klänge frei im Raum positionieren, so dass visuelles und akustisches Geschehen realistisch übereinstimmen. Im Züricher Opernhaus wird der dreidimensionale Klang seit Januar eingesetzt. Die Tontechniker passen Soundeffekte live an und vergrößern Räume akustisch.

»Nano«-Kleinstmengen in Umweltproben nachweisen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/4/28 21:00)
|
Bislang ist unklar, wie in die Umwelt gelangte oder in Produkten eingesetzte synthetische Nanomaterialien auf Menschen, Tiere und Pflanzen wirken. Die Mengen sind so gering und die Teilchen so klein, dass es schwer ist, diese in der Umwelt nachzuweisen. Die Partner im Projekt NanoUmwelt haben jetzt eine Methode entwickelt, die in Umweltproben schon Kleinstmengen an Nanomaterialien aufspüren kann.

Die Entwicklung medizinscher Geräte kostet viel Zeit: Große Teile der Steuerungssysteme können erst konzipiert und getestet werden, wenn die Hardware fertig ist. Mit dem »Hardware-in-the-Loop«-Verfahren, das Fraunhofer-Forscher vom Automobilbau auf medizinische Produkte übertragen haben, lassen sich nun bis zu 50 Prozent derEntwicklungszeit und -kosten einsparen.

Blumenkohl automatisch ernten

Wenn Maschinen Gemüse ernten, fahren sie alles auf einen Schlag ein ? bei Blumenkohl würden sie auch unreife Köpfe ernten. Daher übernehmen menschliche Helfer diese mühsame Aufgabe. Künftig soll eine Maschine die selektive Ernte vollautomatisch ermöglichen. Fraunhofer-Forscher entwickeln die intelligente Erntemaschine gemeinsam mit Industriepartnern.

Ist die Verpackung von Lebensmitteln oder gar Medikamenten bereits beim Kauf undicht, nimmt das Image des Herstellers Schaden. Ein Dünnschicht-Temperatursensor erlaubt es Unternehmen künftig, potenziell undichte Verpackungen schnell und zuverlässig bereits im Herstellungsprozess zu entdecken und auszusortieren.

Students from universities and high schools across North and South America raced futuristic, gas-sipping vehicles they designed themselves as part of the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas competition held in Detroit over the weekend, reports Detroit Free Press . UBC’s Supermileage team, lead by Mechanical Engineering student Nancy Chu, showed off a gas-powered urban concept car designed to have a small environmental footprint.
For Chu, the competition is about addressing global warming and the environmental harm that cars can create. “Finding out what our activities have done to the world makes me extremely concerned,” Chu told the Detroit Free Press , “It’s important that we all become proactive about that, and this is kind of my platform to do that.”

UBC has played a big role in launching companies like MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates, Westport Innovations, and most recently, Awake Labs, reports The Georgia Straight .
Awake Labs has developed a product that helps families cope with autism. It?s led by UBC Mechanical Engineering graduate Andrea Palmer and has roots from an entrepreneurship and engineering course at UBC. The company?s lead biomedical engineer, Paul Fijal, who is also a UBC alumnus, spoke at the TEDxEastVan event held April 23.

Bruce Beasley?s Rondo Sculptures Come to Life in?Berkeley Dance Project 2016?
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies

|
As UC Berkeley student dancers spin and leap onto stage this week, they will bring to life a unique collaboration, a year in the making, between sculpture, movement and technology.
Renowned sculptor and Cal alum Bruce Beasley?s Rondo series consists of large scale elegant intersecting metal rings. The five sculptures in the series were displayed on the Berkeley campus in 2013 and one piece remains permanently installed near the Mining Circle. Says Beasley of the project, ?There was always a question in my mind about movement. Even though the sculptures themselves are static, there was always a little tickle saying, ?Movement. Think about movement.?? As he watched people interact with the sculptures, he began to wonder what it might mean to make a static form move, and what would it might mean to join sculpture with performance.
Then Beasley was introduced to Theater, Dance and Performance Studies professor, choreographer and new media artist Lisa Wymore. The two began to exp ...
