Html5 audio player style example1/30/2024 ![]() Var audioTag = document.createElement('audio') I ended up using some code from my friend Matt Coneybeare. This applies to both audio and video tags. Instead you have to make an audio tag dynamically, then interrogate the tag. Getting HTML5 audio to fall back correctly in all browsers I have to use JavaScript, which is a bummer for such a fundamental scenario. This lack of an intuitive fallback means that I can't make an audio player that works everywhere using just HTML. As far as I can see, the only option in this situation is to rely on Javascript and the video element's canPlayType() function. I expected (incorrectly, in this case) that if I only produced one source element (an MP4), Firefox would drop down to use the fallback content, as it does if I include an object element for a format not supported (for example, if I include a QuickTime object and QT is not installed, the user sees fallback content). From Oct 2009, more people saying that it's not intuitive to fall back in this way: I talked to Chris Double via Christian Heilmann at Mozilla and he said "You'd need to raise the issue with WHATWG/W3C. ![]() What I want is "Can you support any of these audio sources? No? Fallback." This seems intuitive to me. It doesn't do what I would expect at all. That's because fallback elements are only used if your browser doesn't support the audio tag at all. Notice that while I have fallback text present, I don't see it in Firefox. The part I was disappointed in was more of an HTML5 specification issue. In Firefox 20 (the beta channel) on Windows 7 and above, you can test MP3 Audio support by turning on the preference in about:config. Firefox will support MP3s in audio soon though by using the underlying operating system to play the stream rather than its own embedded code. Ya, Firefox currently doesn't support MP3 audio so it just flashes once then disappears. Your browser doesn't support the HTML audio tag. ![]() The HTML5 Audio tag is wonderful, right? Just works. I also wanted a nicer in-browser audio experience so I assumed I'd just drop in the audio tag and be done, right? I am in the process of adding faces for ALL 360+ shows going back 6 years.Ī big thanks to Lynsey Smith from Portland Girl Geek Dinners, by the way, for her hard work in finding pics for me! I'd like to get the show expanded to a wider audience as I feel that listenership has kind of flattened lately. I hadn't realized how cheesy looking the podcast site was all these years. I've been spending the evenings and weekends lately redesigning the blog and the Hanselminutes podcast site. ![]()

Agv robots at toyota manufacturing1/29/2024 ![]() plants since 2019 and continue to pilot different models as well,” said Marisol Barrero, safety innovations manager, Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America (TEMA). “We’ve been using passive shoulder exoskeletons in U.S. BMW, GE, Caterpillar, Boeing, Delta Air Lines, Ford, Audi, Harley Davidson, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Toyota are among the companies piloting or using them today.Although exoskeletons can be either powered or passive, almost all use cases today are passive, operating through springs and damper mechanisms. They reduce muscle fatigue and worker injury and increase endurance and, ultimately, productivity.Weighing on average 5-10 pounds and costing between $1,500 and $7,000, exoskeletons are typically designed either for the upper limbs for assisting shoulder flexion-extension movement or to provide lumbar support for assisting manual lifting tasks. ![]() ![]() AGV deployment, on the other hand, requires a higher investment in capital equipment as well as time and resources to plan and architect the facility floor layout before deployment.“The best way to look at AMRs is not from the robotic arm down but from the mobile base up because it is the mobility that is unique,” said Lattas.Adding to flexibility and lower risk, some AMRs are becoming available through a RaaS (robots as a service) model, which should help to further advance the adoption of AMRs.Given their ease of programming and deployment, flexibility, range of payloads, and range of accessories, we are confident in saying we have not heard the last of this exciting technology.Exoskeletons on the moveAnother emerging application in manufacturing – especially in the automotive sector – is the use of exoskeletons to assist users in lifting, moving, working on, and holding heavy objects. “From our perspective, adding a robotic arm to a mobile base changes where it is but not what it does.”Benefits of AMRsAMRs have several key benefits over AGVs, which include:Speed of deployment:AMRs require no tracking or other infrastructure investment for deployment and can be purchased and running in days or weeks.Redeployable:AMRs can be rapidly redeployed from one plant to another or to a different zone within the same plant.Scalability and low upfront investment:AMRs can be purchased individually for specific tasks and scaled as needed, equating to low financial risk. “We integrate our robots and cobots with both AGVs and AMRs, and our customers span the spectrum from logistics to machine-tending applications,” said Eric Lattas, staff engineer and development integrator, FANUC America. ![]() They follow fixed, predetermined tracks set by wires, beacons, magnets, or barcodes and are unable to change their route or navigate around obstacles.AMRs are equipped with sensors integrated with machine vision and AI that enable them to see and understand their environment in real time and move through the environment in the most efficient manner while also avoiding obstacles.Most robot players are getting involved, and market leader FANUC integrates its existing robot and cobot fleet (industrial mobile robots or IMRs) with all the major mobile robot platforms. We’ll take a look at ways that artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, and sensors are bringing gains in flexibility and efficiency to the movement of parts in facilities and how exoskeletons are increasing worker endurance in repetitive physical tasks.AGV plus AI equals AMR!Let’s break that down: Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, and big data processing are now enabling automated guided vehicles (AGV) to be replaced by autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in some manufacturing and logistics operations due to their greater functionality, flexibility, and scalability.AGV vs AMR: What’s the difference?AGVs have been used for several decades in industry and logistics for material handling, delivering parts to production lines, and moving pallets and raw materials. As digital and other emerging technologies become incorporated into a range of manufacturing processes, more flexible, efficient, and intelligent manufacturing workflows are being created. ![]()

They also get to be word detectives by finding and circling the sight words hidden in the word search.Īfter that, the students will look at the letters of the alphabet and color in the letters that spell the sight word. Students get to use their creativity to decorate the word written in bubble letters. Then they will write the word independently on the line. Next, they will work on writing the word by tracing it, following the arrows to ensure proper writing technique.

Cpu temp gpu monitor1/29/2024 ![]() ![]() MSI Afterburner isn’t just for overclocking your GPU. How to check your CPU temperature with MSI Afterburner MSI Afterburner offers a CPU temperature overlay you can view in-game. They’ll be underneath your CPU, which is listed as its full product name, then under ‘Temperatures > Cores (Max).' If you’re only interested in CPU temperature monitoring and nothing else, you can always collapse the motherboard, graphics card and storage device sections to make the whole thing easier to read. ![]() Simply run the installer once it’s downloaded, and then it’s just a case of finding CPU core temperatures in HWMonitor’s long list of sensors. To install HWMonitor, head to its page on the CPUID site and click the purple ‘Setup’ button in the lower left. Want to know the speeds of every single on of your PC’s fans, while also monitoring the temperatures of your graphics card and SSD? HWMonitor tracks it all, including voltages, so it’s particularly well-suited to keen overclockers. How to check your CPU temperature with HWMonitorĬPUID’s HWMonitor performs a similar role to Core Temp, providing both minimum and maximum CPU core temperatures as well as current readings, but goes into detail on a far greater variety of your PC’s trackable metrics. HWMonitor lets you view or hide monitoring data for all your PC's key components. ![]() That might be handy if, say, you want to know how high your core temperatures peak during sustained play, but you can’t be bothered with constantly alt-tabbing out to monitor it. ![]() Another cool aspect of Core Temp – if don’t mind painfully stretching the definition of cool – is that it also lists the lowest and highest temperatures that each core has recorded during the current session. In the app itself, the temperatures of all your CPU’s cores are listed at the bottom. While clicking through the installation wizard you will need to uncheck some boxes to avoid adding some bloatware, but otherwise you can keep hitting “Next” until Core Temp is installed. Simply click the big blue “Download” on the Core Temp site, then run the executable file once it’s downloaded. It’s easily readable, updates in real time, is compatible with every CPU under the sun and shows you the temperatures of all your processor’s individual cores. How to check your CPU temperature with Core TempĬore Temp keeps everything nice and simple, and provides all you need if you just want to check your CPU temperature now and again to make sure it’s ticking along. Just be sure to check in every now and then even the best CPUs will suffer if they get to toasty.Ĭore Temp lets you see how individual CPU cores compare to others. They’re all free and easy to use, and are distinct enough that you can pick the one that best suits your preferences. This guide will focus on a few different software tools that you can use to keep an eye on CPU heat. Left unattended, an overheating CPU can cause system shutdowns, performance throttling – less than ideal for gaming – and even permanent damage to the processor itself. So while overheating is usually caused by an over-ambitious overlock or improperly installed cooler, rather than being part and parcel of computer ownership, it’s worth understanding how to monitor CPU temperatures so that you can spot potential issues quickly. Luckily this isn’t a common problem, but if you’ve just built a PC from scatch, have installed a new CPU in your existing setup, or are attempting to overclock, checking the CPU temperature is a quick step that can reassure you that all is well – just as much as it can warn you of an overly hot chip.Įxcess heat is a PC’s natural enemy, and gaming systems – with CPUs tending towards higher clock speeds, plus dedicated graphics cards producing extra warmth inside the case – are especially at risk. Once you know how to monitor your CPU temperature, you’ll be able to perform a vital health check on a PC component that you very, very much do not want to overheat and break. ![]() |
