  • Ironworker Jeff Devine tightens bolts on an I beam at his fiftieth floor worksite in Chicago.   (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food on a day in the month of September was 6,600 kcals. He is 39; 6'1" and 235 pounds. He carries a cooler of ready-to-eat food from home rather than eat at fastfood restaurants and vending trucks. At right: Jeff tightens the bolts on an I beam.

  • Star Wars research: neutral particle beam accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The accelerator was part of the Reagan White House project for a space-based accelerator that could produce a high-energy, uncharged particle beam that might examine, disarm, & even destroy distant objects (such as ballistic missiles), as part of America's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - the "Star Wars" program. Neutral (uncharged) particle beams are necessary because the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on electrically charged particles would cause them to travel in spirals. Los Alamos, New Mexico. (1988)

  • Maria Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo, a farmer and mother of eight, fixes one of her daughters' hair outside her adobe house in Tingo village, central Andes, Ecuador. (Maria Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her typical day's worth of food in the month of September was 3800 kcals. She is 37 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 119 pounds. With no tables or chairs or stove, Ermelinda cooks all the family's meals while kneeling over the hearth on the earthen floor, tending an open fire of sticks and straw. Guinea pigs that skitter about looking for scraps or spilled grain will eventually end up on the fire themselves when the family eats them for a holiday treat. Because there is no chimney, the beams and thatch roof are blackened by smoke. Unvented smoke from cooking fires accounts for a high level of respiratory disease and, in one study in rural Ecuador, was accountable for half of infant mortality.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Los Alamos National Lab, New Mexico. Research in the flow cytometry lab - sorting chromosomes for DNA Library. The counting of cells is called cytometry. Flow cytometry characterizes single cells as they pass at high speed through a laser beam. Speeds of up to 50,000 cells a second can be measured. The scattering of the laser beam provides a way to identify the cells. Many other characteristics, such as shape and surface texture can also be measured. The cells are then sorted as electrically charged droplets. This also purifies the samples. (1989).Human Genome Project.

  • Sewer inspection robot. Kurt I, a sewer inspection robot prototype. Here, the robot is moving through a simulated sewer at a German government-owned research and development centre. Unlike its predecessors, the Kurt I, and its successor, Kurt II, are cable-less, autonomous robots, which have their own power supply and piloting system. Kurt uses two low-powered lasers (upper centre) to beam a grid (red, lower centre) into its path. When the gridlines curve, indicating a bend or intersection in the pipe, the robot matches the curves against a digital map in its computer. It will then pilot itself to its destination. Photographed in Bonn, Germany.

  • Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator used to test weapon components at Sandia National Laboratory site at Albuquerque, New Mexico USA. Sandia was established in 1945 as a weapons stockpiling site. Since then, Sandia has diversified to study a variety of science applications. These include research and development in fossil, solar, geothermal and nuclear energy production, nuclear waste management and environmental research. Sandia is also responsible for the design and development of non- nuclear components for atomic weapons. (1984)

  • Roy Want holds his invention - the Xerox parctab. This hand-held, 200-gram prototype allows the user to beam information to a personal computer by writing a series of shorthand-like symbols, each of which represents a letter of the alphabet, on a pressure-sensitive screen. Want is a researcher at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Centre) in California's Silicon Valley. One of the most innovative computer companies in the USA, PARC is the birthplace of the mouse, the computer workstation and the "graphical user interface", the now-universal system of windows and icons that makes it possible for a novice to use a computer.

  • Kurt I, a 32-cm-long robot, crawls through a simulated sewer network on the grounds of the Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverabeitung-Forschungs-zentrum Informationstechnik GmbH (GMD), a government-owned R&D center outside Bonn, Germany. Every ten years, Germany's 400,000 kilometers of sewers must be inspected, at a cost of $9 per meter. Today, vehicles tethered to long data cables explore remote parts of the system. Because the cables restrict the vehicle's mobility and range, GMD engineers have built Kurt I, which crawls through sewers itself. To pilot itself, the robot?or, rather, its successor model, Kurt II?will use two low-power lasers to beam a checkerboardlike grid into its path. When the gridlines curve, indicating a bend or intersection in the pipe ahead, Kurt II will match the curves against a digital map in its "brain" and pilot itself to its destination.

  • Shot-putting Urbie over a two-meter chain-link fence, Alan DiPietro, a staff researcher at iRobot of Somerville, Mass., shows how soldiers might use this remotely operated robot in urban warfare. Intended for surveillance, Urbie is a low-profile, remotely operated machine that crawls over obstacles on bulldozer-like tracks, beaming images of what it sees to its operators. The robot is intended to be exceptionally durable, capable of flipping over and surviving shocks that would destroy most other robots. But the company still has a ways to go, one of Urbie's caterpillar tracks shattered when DiPietro threw it over the fence. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 146.
