![]() Omni Foods, known for their plant-based meat alternatives, just underwent a redesign of their brand. A chia seed based spread alternative to caviar. One of the more exciting movements in the plant-based space is Chiaviar. Bored Cow is the first milk alternative to do it all. Our team says it measures up to a traditional egg. We met up with the Yo Egg team off the tradeshow floor this year and got to try the first plant-based egg with a poachable yolk. We are seeing plant-based really expand outside of meats and into dairy, cheese, and even eggs. It has expanded far beyond grocery stores and is now a norm on most restaurant menus as well. We have seen a major shift in food as people are searching for plant-based options for almost everything. It seems these days that almost everyone is vegan. Source: Yo Egg A New Phase of Plant-Based The wave of marine superfoods is just getting started. They come in fun flavors ranging from cheese pizza to spicy korean bbq. Sea Monsters have created kid-friendly seaweed puffs that you’ll want yourself to snack on. They offer a burger and crab cake made from kelp and other superfoods. Looking for a marine plant-based alternative? Akua is the first kelp-based meat and seafood alternative. If you prefer to drink your nutrients, Oomee is an algae-infused refreshment to make you gut-sparkle. Seaweed reduces the effects of climate change as it sequesters greenhouse gasses. According to their website, Kelp creates underwater ecosystems and requires 0 inputs to grow making it regeneratively farmed. ![]() Wavy Wonders was one of the brands we discovered using these underwater benefits with its culinary crafted seaweed snacks. Not only is it good for you, the ingredients themselves are good for the earth. Marine superfoods swept the tradeshow floor. It seems like a smart idea to us as our brains now have to compete with AI. ![]() We have a feeling that we will start seeing more brain focused food & beverage products arise. Cerebelly is the only baby food with 16 key brain-supporting nutrients. Babies' brains are 80% developed by the age of 3. Wanting to get the whole family on a brain nutrient rich plan? Well it doesn't stop there. They have created a protein bar specifically for the brain after watching a family member slowly lose his mind to Alzheimer’s. They are on a mission to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, research, and provide the tools for a “mindstyle” lifestyle. Prefer a bar over juice? We saw our friends at Mosh off the floor this year. They have created a powerful antioxidant complex used in all of their products to help protect and energize the brain. We also saw brain-boosting ingredients make their way into beverages with BrainJuice which supports memory, mood, and focus. According to Brainiac Foods, “most of us only consume 20% of the daily essential nutrients our brains need to thrive.” Brianiac Foods is creating apple sauce, vitamins, fruit & veggie squeezers, and nut butters with the brain top of mind. Products that had brain benefits were all the rage at Expo West. As consumers continue to invest in health & wellness, we are now seeing them look beyond just immunity and seeking additional functional attributes. Supplements and vitamins have had strong growth since COVID three years ago. ![]() JFETs have a very high input impedance and are less fragile and noisy than MOSFET, so that's what we'll use. MOSFETs have an extremely high input impedance, but tend to be fragile (static electricity can destroy them) and also can be noisy in audio applications. ![]() Bipolar transistors don't have a high enough input impedance. There are three types of transistors to consider, bipolar (BJT), MOSFET, and JFET. It also provides more current to drive signals on the cable to the amp, which can also improve the highs.Īmplifiers use transistors (or tubes) to amplify or buffer a signal. The role of the piezo contact mic preamp isn't really to amplify the signal (the output voltage of the piezo is plenty high), rather the goal is to provide a buffer with a very high input impedance of 10M ohms or so, which is more than 10 times or so greater than the input impedance of a typical guitar amp, so that more of the bass gets through. ![]() In order to reduce the cutoff frequency so that more bass tones get through, we need to increase the input impedance that the piezo is driving. For typical values of Cpiezo and Ramp, the cutoff frequency is well into the audible playing range of a guitar. Together, Cpiezo and Ramp form a high-pass filter that cuts out low frequencies. The input of an amplifier acts like a resistor to ground (Ramp), known as its input impedance. Because of the series capacitance (Cpiezo), virtually no DC current flows through the piezo. This voltage may be high, but the current is very small. To understand how it works, we'll first take a look at the problem we're trying to solve, and then build up a solution in steps.Ī piezo element operates like a voltage source in series with a capacitor-when the piezo crystals vibrate, they produce a voltage. The schematic above is the complete design of the preamp circuit. ![]() Play a public game with strangers, or play a private game with friends.

![]() Office XP and Office 2003 provided speech recognition capabilities among Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office applications it also enabled limited speech functionality in Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. Speech recognition had also been used in previous Microsoft products. In 1993, Microsoft hired Xuedong Huang from Carnegie Mellon University to lead its speech development efforts the company's research led to the development of the Speech API (SAPI) introduced in 1994. Microsoft was involved in speech recognition and speech synthesis research for many years before WSR. It is present in Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows RT, Windows 10, and Windows 11. With Windows Vista, WSR was developed to be part of Windows, as speech recognition was previously exclusive to applications such as Windows Media Player. Custom language models are also supported. It provides a personal dictionary that allows users to include or exclude words or expressions from dictation and to record pronunciations to increase recognition accuracy. WSR is a locally processed speech recognition platform it does not rely on cloud computing for accuracy, dictation, or recognition, but adapts based on contexts, grammars, speech samples, training sessions, and vocabularies. ![]() Hotkeys for this action is Windows logo key+Ctrl+S (windows 10, windows 11) It supports custom macros to perform additional or supplementary tasks.

Most NPCs still need their stories completed, but those that have stories for them are really fun and engaging and better written than Portia. It has a nice gameplay loop and the main story is about 1/3 complete. The current state of the game is limited, but full of content to hold you over for about 20-ish hours (according to people who time these sorts of games). It's just really early to release due to it lacking content. A variety of non-player characters (NPCs) can be found in My Time at Sandrock.Not all of the characters are available from the start of Beta Access (which has now ended) or Early Access, but more characters, character-specific content, and social interactions will be added as the game is further developed. What's in the Early Access Version My Time at Sandrock 's Early Access version will include around 30 hours of content, ranging from main story missions, side quests, NPC romance. A lot of us Kickstarter backers have seen it, and those who backed a certain price point are playing it as we speak. Before getting into the details, keep in mind that the Early Access version of My Time at Sandrock will only be available on PC, while the full version is supposed to be launched on PS4. If the co-op is good here I'll probably pick it up to play with my SO, but just know that there's a high likelihood that any fundamental issues the game has from a design perspective day 1 are unlikely to get addressed significantly throughout early access.Originally posted by Ryudo Winchester:Ya okay but Steam says Release date of game is the 26 so if they release its the full game right Other wise they should state there that its only a half game that might never be made full ? The page does say it's EA, so. They're a small studio, and it is often the case it's better to just start with a clean slate then try to iterate through technical debt.Īt the end of the day I had a fun time with Portia that was worth what I paid, but I know it doesn't sit right with some folks. For me personally it's totally understandable, and I don't think they're being insidious about it. My Time at Portia they finished but there's lots of warts that they couldn't patch up, which they are saying they will address in the sequel. With My Time at Sandrock’s Early Access release quickly approaching, becoming familiar with the game’s core mechanics will help you complete story quests easier.The newest entry in the My Time series focuses on gathering resources to build various machines and structures to progress the story. When it has its official release, more romance options may be possible. Planet Explorers they straight up gave up on and offered people free keys to My Time at Portia, and the game also became free to play at some point. My Time at Sandrock is in early access, and it will probably stay that way for the rest of the year. ![]() They did it with Planet Explorers, and to a lesser extent they also did it with My Time At Portia.

![]() Bolts in the ceilings and walls can bear a lot of weight if you hook guy-wires up to connecting points, but make sure you balance the bridge properly, or it's still going to cause your forklift to crash and burn as soon as it lays its wheel upon the road.Īll of the techniques you need are doled out slowly, so it's easy to get a handle on what the game is demanding of you. Build a series of triangles, for instance, to hold a bridge in place, or affix an arch to add even more support for your road. With only metal planks and guy-wires to hold your contraptions in place, you have to make smart use of your materials to ensure that the entire structure doesn't topple as soon as you begin.Ī handy "best practices" tutorial teaches you the fundamentals of architecture. Building a bridge is no easy task, though physics are a constant and punishing presence, forcing you to consider the impact of gravity as you build rickety structures. The goal is to guide a self-driving forklift full of cute little stick figures from the entry point to a faraway exit-all while avoiding turrets, leaping over acidic lakes, and triggering switches. This scene means nothing if you aren't familiar with that game.and it's just a quick nostalgia jab for those who are.Īs the name implies, Bridge Constructor Portal has you building a series of bridges in the facility made famous in Portal. ![]() During one such segment, a picture of Portal's famous cake appears on a computer screen while an instrumental version of "Still Alive" plays over the loudspeakers. Periodic cutscenes borrow familiar artifacts from previous games, but do little with these props other than make you fondly remember happier days. She's there to greet you with an insult at the beginning of some stages, and then you're left on your own in a bleak and bland test chamber. ![]() GlaDOS is back to make light of your shortcomings, but her insults feel like diluted copies of familiar quips, lacking the clever tongue-lashings that she used to so easily dish out. The story in Bridge Constructor Portal is little more than a collection of references to the previous Portal games. Even worse: I encountered a game-breaking bug that completely halted my progress at the home stretch. But neither the story nor the puzzles capture your imagination, resulting in a predictable slog that grows more tedious the deeper you get into the adventure. It sounds like the setup for another delicious brain-teaser that will tickle your funny bone while pushing your logic muscles. GlaDOS, an uncaring-though-humorous AI, greets you at the beginning of many levels, setting the stage for the plentiful puzzles that lay before you. With the new content most puzzles still won’t let you freely build portals anywhere because there’s only one real solution, but in some cases this allows you to be a tad more creative and even come up with (slightly or radically) different solutions.Īt the budget price of just under 4 dollars/euros, this is an expansion that Bridge Constructor Portal players can’t afford to pass up.Bridge Constructor Portal leans heavily upon its iconic forebears. This creates a new dynamic, because while portals played a huge role in the previous game, their locations also signposted the solution that the developers wanted you to build. Portal Profiency allows you to now place portals inside the levels yourself, which wasn’t previously possible. These are instantly familiar if you’ve been playing the base game, but there’s a new twist as well. Now, the new “Portal Profiency” addon adds more portal-infused physics/bridge building puzzles to the game, with no less than 30 new puzzles to tackle. What was even better was that it turned out to be a great new twist on the bridge builder genre we had seen many times before. When Headup released the original Bridge Constructor Portal, it was a pleasant surprise to see they had managed to acquire the rights to use Valve’s celebrated Portal franchise for use in their Bridge Constructor series.
