Manufacture has acquired new and advanced materials, and daily contrives new inventions and devises new products. Biotechnology is increasing food production with genetically altered plants and animals, and soon, meat not taken from butchered animals but grown from stem cells. Production is no longer bounded by the limitations of human labor; electrical and nuclear energy power the machines and robots shape materials and assemble cars, jet airplanes, computers, and soon everything. Nanotechnology is beginning to assemble molecules atom by atom, on the way to manufacture computer circuitry out of sand, gold out of lead, even living cells out of atoms. We see ourselves beginning an essentially new kind of human existence, acquiring a new nature— postevolutionary, transhuman. We are awed, fascinated, but also bewildered by the prospect with an abundance beyond all our needs and desires; how shall we deal with it? We are watching extraordinary advances in biotechnology, which promise not only to cure and prevent diseases and correct defects, but, with pharmaceuticals, gene therapy and nanotechnology, to endow our bodies and our minds with greater and also new capacities.

  • Automated People Mover “Crystal Mover” for Hartsfield-Jackson
    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 47 No. 2 (June 2010) 6 “Crystal Mover” Automated People Mover for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Transportation Systems and Advanced Technology Division Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), with local partners including MHIA, received an order for its APM (Automated People Mover) system, a passenger transport system connecting the main terminal of Atlanta International Airport and the new rental car facility (CONRAC: Consolidated Rental Agency Complex), from the City of Atlanta, Department of Aviation, in October 2005. It was the third APM system project awarded to MHI in the U.S., following similar systems at Miami International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport, and was the first to enter into operational service, in December 2009. MHI's APM system and associated technologies are introduced below. |1. System overview The APM system at Atlanta International Airport comprises of 2.2 km (1.4 miles) of elevated double tracked guideway connecting the airport main terminal (Airport Station) and the rental car facility (Rental Car Center Station). There are three stations in total, including one intermediate station (GICC/Gateway Center Station) (Figure 1). The system is used by customers of the rental car facility, and by people visiting the convention center (GICC: Georgia International Convention Center), which is adjacent to the intermediate station. At the west end of the system, there is a vehicle Maintenance and Storage Facility (M&SF), which also accommodates the Central Control Center for the operation and supervision of the system. Figure 1 CONRAC APM system overview at Atlanta International Airport The system is fully automated and unmanned, operating 24-hour per day in correspondence with the operation of the airport.
