A vibroblade is a class of science fiction weapon that uses an ultrasonic generator attached to a bladed weapon like a knife or sword. The ultrasonic vibrations along the blade's edge allow it to cut through much denser materials than would normally be possible. Alternatively, friction from the vibrations are used to heat the blade white-hot, and the heat is the source of the increased cutting power.
Vibroblades have been used in numerous sci-fi settings, including:
*BattleTech (Vibroblades)
*Devil May Cry 4 (Nero's Red Queen sword)
*Fallout and Fallout 2 (Ripper)
*Final Fantasy VIII (Gunblades)

Biography
Before joining Google, Mark Jen was a Program Manager at Microsoft, and a Software Engineer at IBM. He graduated in 2003 from the University of Michigan with a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering. Jen was also a member of the Eta Kappa Nu honor society at the University of Michigan, a society of which Larry Page was a former president. Following his short stint at Google, he was employed by Plaxo.
Google firing
Some consider Google's action in terminating Jen to contradict the company's image of openness and free-thinking. Ironically, Google owns Blogger, the service Jen used to write his original 99zeros blog. However, others have questioned the wisdom of blogging about work so soon after being hired, particularly if it is to complain about employment conditions. Additionally, he posted commercially sensitive information about unreleased products and company finances (only a few days prior to the earnings announcement), which he was required to remove from his blog. Although he was initially told that his blogging activities were acceptable, provided he did not blog about company secrets, he was fired two days later.
