Japan is a key market for us because we have products that are related to the auto industry and we believe that will become a very important part of our export strategy in the next year or so. While the company has yet to reap tangible benefits from the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Palikaras says: "We are very excited about Japan, which is part of the CPTPP. Palikaras says that the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement has not only cut import tariffs on items imported from Canada, but generally made it easier for MTI to sell its goods and services in Europe. It is one of Dalhousie University's top co-op program partners. MTI has benefited greatly from financial support provided by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, as well as with the cooperation of local universities. Today, Palikaras observes, "it is coming down to a few hundred dollars per square metre and, with the work that we're doing, we're pushing that down by a few orders of magnitude." Until a few years ago, the cost of replicating these tiny, complex structures was prohibitive and running into hundreds of thousands of dollars per square metre. aerospace giant and Sustainable Technology Development Canada to produce the world's thinnest silicon-based solar cell technology suitable for flight.Ĭiting the example of a butterfly's wings that can trap and absorb light at certain wavelengths, Palikaras says, "We have the science and the capability to manufacture on demand what has evolved over billions of years in nature." It was so incredibly inspiring to learn about the Panasonic +100yrs history, which was routed and carefully crafted by their founder Mr Komosuke Matsushita-san. Separately, MTI has partnered with Lockheed Martin, the U.S. The company is launching new eyewear for pilots that block hazardous laser lights, developed in partnership with Europe's Airbus Industrie and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. When imprinted on sheets of plastic, metal or glass, these so-called metamaterials can deflect lasers directed at aircraft and enhance the power of solar panels. MTI is a pioneer in adapting the science behind some of the most intricate structures found in nature to create complex materials that can absorb, block or enhance light waves. ![]() ![]() The eyewear blocking and deflecting a green laser beam.

The one big exception with NVIDIA was the 75 series when OpenGL 2.0 support was added which gave across the board improvement to Geforce FX, 6 and 7 cards.ĭo you have compositing on? Some different window managers show a different performance impact with compositing enabled and that will be a difference between the 2 distro versions you have tried. Normally it only happens shortly after initial releases of hardware because the first driver releases aren't optimised perhaps, but later on down the line, no improvement is likely to be seen and it may get worse as the driver becomes more bloated with features for newer hardware. Newer drivers magically giving extra performance is a bit of a myth. I have run Xonotic with a 4 year old NVIDIA driver before and their was no order of magnitude performance difference that you are seeing. I wouldn't blame it on the driver version though.

Early builds of Xonotic ran very well on this configuration. Like I said, other games have no problem supporting this. Xonotic should be able to run well on my setup. Anyway try lowering the settings as much as possible and see if it give any results. Other games don't seem to have trouble supporting 10.04. Not everyone wants to switch distros/upgrade just for one game that SHOULD run well on their system anyway. I would think Xonotic should be able to run better on a wider variety of distros, that would certainly allow room for a bigger user base. That still leads me to ask, why such poor support for what's still considered a modern distro?

With highest quality curvature and really small scene file size, KeyShot 5 is a double check for our business."ĭries Vervoort - Henrad NV (Ideal Stelrad Group) Now with KeyShot 5, we can import the NURBS data of our native SolidWorks models and render it directly inside KeyShot without relying on tessellated geometry! All the while, keeping tessellation and thus file size very low. This was especially challenging to manage from the PDM side of things. In order to achieve sufficient 'curve smoothness', our KeyShot scenes used to contain several hundred MBs of polygonal data. "The combo NURBS rendering and Toon shading is proving to be incredibly valuable for generating high quality patent drawings and other IP figures. Martin Spencer-Ford - Freelance 3D artist Model, Save, Render - What could be more simple?" KeyShot 5 has made this transition a thing of the past for me. Exporting to polymesh or converting to a 'scene' format in a render engine has always been fraught with danger. The new ability to render NURBs surfaces directly in KeyShot 5 is a real game changer. "What I like most about KeyShot is that I don't have to fight with the software, you can just immerse yourself into the scene and know you're going to get a great result. With KeyShot 5's speed increase and new tools, our daily workflow is not only faster but also more flexible." KeyShot has become an integral part of our design and marketing collateral process.

Since the image forms the search query, the user is saved from the trouble of coming up with the right keywords to enter into the search bar. Using such a query, the search engine applies computer vision and looks up similar images on the web using mathematical models. The three most common names used to describe this query type are content-based image retrieval (CBIR), query by image content (QBIC), and content based visual-information retrieval (CBVIR). So, for instance, if you upload the image of a lamp in the search engine, like discussed in the example above, the results would look something like this: A more technical explanation of how our reverse image search engine works is below: The search engine uses a special query type to make the search possible. This includes information like the origin website, the websites that feature the image, the places featured in the image, and the objects featured in the image. Our reverse image search engine will provide you with other images that are relevant to the image you use to conduct the search, along with relevant information to that image. You will then be presented with similar images, and the URL(s) of the origin website(s) of that image. What do you do? You enter the image into this tool. Alternatively, you just want to know more about the particular lamp in your image. Now, you may like the lamp in the image but at the same time, not be aware who manufactures or sells that particular lamp. Simply enter the image into our reverse image search tool and you will be presented with a collection of similar images.Įxample 2: In this example, let’s assume that you have a picture of a specific object, like a table lamp. This is where this tool makes your life easy. However, a picture is worth a thousand words and often, finding the right ones can prove to be a task.
