It was originally patented by bullet designer Tom Burczynski . Hydra Shok bullets feature a unique, patented center post design and notched jacket. Together they are meant to provide more reliable expansion and deeper penetration. Center post designed bullets like Hydra Shok have more predictable results and therefore offer some advantage as a defensive bullet. Citation needed date April 2009 In ballistic gelatin , the bullet typically displays very rapid expansion resulting in a larger but more shallow wound channel than would be typical from most other bullet configurations in the same caliber and of similar weight. Citation needed date April 2009 The Hydra Shok bullet is available in various calibers 9 mm, 10 mm, .32 ACP, .380 ACP, .38 S&W Special, .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .45 GAP, and .44 Magnum.

These rounds are anti personnel, meaning they for use against human or other organic targets. A normal bullet has a smooth, rounded tip designed for accuracy and penetration.

HYDRA Engine is a brand name for a multi Graphical Processing Unit GPU solution developed by Lucid Logix . Similar to nVidia s Scalable Link Interface SLI and ATI Technologies ATI s ATI CrossFire Crossfire technologies, Hydra allows linking several video card s together producing a single output and higher performance. Unlike SLI and CrossFire however, Hydra allows video cards from different chip manufactures to be linked together. Lucid claims it can do so with near to linear scaling of performance, i.e. two video cards equals twice the performance. The technology consists of both hardware on the motherboard and device drivers . Currently there are two chips released under the Hydra Engine brand Hydra 100 and Hydra 200. The basic concept behind the hardware is to intercept Microsoft DirectX or OpenGL sent to the video cards from the CPU and split these up to divide the calculation task fairly common amongst the present GPUs. ref cite web url http www.anandtech.com tradeshows showdoc.aspx?i 3379 title Lucid Hydra 100 Enabling SLI CrossFire on Any Platform author Derek Wilson date 2008 08 20 publisher AnandTech accessdate 2010 01 25 ref Reception SweClockers.com , when testing the MSI Big Bang Fusion which features Hydra 200, gave it very poor ratings citing the following Poor drivers, poor game support, small if any performance gain over a single video card, graphical artifacts, unstable gameplay and a high price tag. ref cite web url http www.sweclockers.com articles show.php?id 6225&page 8 title Recension MSI Big Bang Fusion author Jonas Th rnqvist date 2010 01 25 publisher SweClockers.com language Swedish accessdate 2010 01 25 ref See also Scalable Link Interface ATI CrossFire External links http www.lucidlogix.com Lucid Logix homepage References reflist Category Video cards hardware stub ru Hydra 100 ... more details
File Transgenic hydra endo.gif thumb upright 2.0 Green fluorescent protein GFP marked endodermal epithelial cells in Hydra genus Hydra Cnidarians such as Hydra genus Hydra have become attractive model organisms to study the evolution of Immunity medical immunity . However, despite long term efforts, stably transgenic animals could not be generated, severely limiting the functional analysis of gene s. For analytical purposes, therefore, an important technical breakthrough in the field was the development of a transgenic procedure for generation of stably transgenic lines by embryo microinjection . Uses Hydra polyps are small and transparent which makes it possible to trace single cells in vivo . In addition, transgenic Hydra provide a ready system for generating gain of function phenotypes. With the use of transgenes producing dominant negative versions of protein s, one should be able to obtain loss of function phenotypes as well. Current technology allows generation of reporter constructs using promoters of various Hydra genes fused to fluorescent proteins. Since transgenic Hydra lines have become an important tool to dissect molecular mechanisms of development, a Hydra Transgenic Facility has been established at the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel Germany .
