15- 3D printer

We are all familiar with the 2D printer i.e the black and white or colour printer. The photocopy of any document is printed with the printer as per the input image that was given to it. The later world expected the things to be experienced in the actual dimensional view and this led to the invention of the 3D printer. Now, what actually is a 3D printer? Making the desired objects of any dimensions as per the actual image that was given to the input is called as the 3D printer. The image sends the information like the height, width, depth, etc to the printer through the sensors or even manual inputs can be given. The obtained information is then processed, brought together to make a digital image and hence, the printing starts. The material used here varies as per the requirements. Some materials such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together and the desired shape are given. The printed objects are then made to cool and acquire the firm shape. The resulting object ...

14- Wireless Transmission

Ever thought of the wireless power transfer over long distance? And the wireless power transfer with no plugs and nothing to do with wires! Just as simple as transmitting and receiving. Sounds great! Wireless power transfer (WPT), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission, or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, a transmitter device that is  driven by electric power from a power source, generates a time-varying electromagnetic field, which is capable of transporting power to a receiver device through open space, which extracts power from this field and supplies it to an electrical load.  The latest example of wireless power transfer is wireless charging of smart phones, earphones, etc. The technology is rapidly developing and will take greater stand in the later years.             ...

13- Electric Paint Technology

Ever thought of a plain wall having the lighting system, the plugs, the buttons attached straight alongside to the wall? I mean that the buttons or the led or even the plug socket that is DRAWN on the wall and actually functions as a system? Well, this technology is under serious consideration of many scientists and technologist. The use of this technology has been done in some labs for testing and have got the positive results. What actually this technology is? It is basically making a touch-sensitive circuit using electric paint. The electric paint is made by collecting all the cathode bars of the batteries and then making it in a liquid form by adding some acids and using it like a paint by painting some circuits as per the requirements. The advantage of this is that the space required would be very less and we can make some designs, drawings just to have a better look on the wall and still use it as a circuit. The cost would seriously reduce to just 25% of the present. ...

12- Holographic Display

Going for a date of an unknown person and don't know him? No need to get hyper. The holographic display will have a solution for you. The person can be viewed in a 3D display so no need of worrying. The interview, meetings or even conference could be experienced through 3D i.e holographic display technique. The technology is currently in progress and will take time to get mould, but will surely have a great importance in future! A holographic display is a type of display that utilizes light diffraction to create a virtual three-dimensional image of an object. Holographic displays are unique from other forms of 3D imaging in that they do not require the aid of any special glasses or external equipment for a viewer to see the image. The motion sensor senses the eyes movements of the person and adjusts the display to show the displaying contents per the necessity to give a user a good experience of viewing. The example of this holographic display can be seen in many applicatio...

11- Digital Twin

A recently developed topic called as DIGITAL TWIN has been introduced and has become popular overnight just because of its perspective to make the technology closer to the humans, and useful to the mankind. Well, in reality, the term 'twin' is used for humans who are born from the same source and has similar properties like looks, voice or maybe the behaviour. The twins posses nearly same qualities in many places and are easy to identify. Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets, processes and systems that can be used for various purposes. The digital representation provides both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device operates and lives throughout its life cycle. The digital twin has no source, but it is the similar digital replica of the actual circuit. The best example of this technology is shown in the film IRON MAN! Robert Downey Jr. was shown controlling the robot by simply working on it from his home through the IoT and...

10- Big Data

You may be wondering about the term BIG DATA which you may have heard by many technology freaks and some other peoples too. Is it really the topic that a common man could understand in a simple concept? Well, I think it is like introducing the child to sea and explaining its depth, size and expect him to understand which he would better understand when he himself experienced it. The messages that we send, the pics and videos we store, the other information related to work like excel sheets, word documents, etc are referred as DATA. The combination of such data's under some special instructions is called as data sets. Big data is data sets that are so voluminous and complex that traditional data-processing application software is inadequate to deal with them. Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating, information privacy and data source. There are five concepts associated ...

9- Hard Disk Drive or Cloud storage?

The fad of using cloud storage or external storage is increasing today amongst the people. Even, 1TB of memory is now insufficient due to the increasing demand of storing the memories, informations and many more. What would be the efficient way to store the data? Read down for more.   The generation before us used to store the hard copy of the pics that they wanted to keep it as a memory and preserve it keeping in some folder aka storage. This days, everyone has some memories stored with the digital photos and videos that has been captured. And most of those must had the need of some storage to store it. The options that we all would choose is the hard disk drive present in the device we all are using, or the external hard disk drive or the cloud storage. The most preferred option now-a-days is the external hard disk drive of size of 1TB or any size as per the requirement of user. The other option i.e. cloud storage is not used by many. The awareness or the faith over the cl...

8- Invisible Technology

Have you ever seen any videos on YouTube or any other source that have shown a newly under construction technology regarding use of motion sensor to replace the weighted product into the negligible one and to make the working easier without even carrying it around with us? Read down for the same. A touchscreen is an input and output device normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or more fingers. The motion sensor accepts the input from the motions or the movements done by the user and performs the tasks assigned to it. The smart phones today use the touchscreen and performs various tasks. Have you ever seen the battery performance on the smart phones? It will surely show you that display consumes more energy. Brightness do affects the battery life but not as the excess u...

7- The Catalyst

In science, the term Catalyst is used to denote the material that boosts the chemical reaction. It does not affect the chemicals that were to be reacted nor the output reaction. It just increases the speed of reaction. Now, is there any catalyst in the field of electronics? The catalyst is used to speed up the reaction thereby decreasing the time delay to get the output. Ever wondered what is there for any electronic devices to catalyze or simply to make it work faster? Many people will say that more is the RAM, more is its speed, some will say the speed depends on the processor used in it like a quad core or octa-core processor. Increasing RAM does not increase the speed of device, rather it allows you to use as many applications. Regarding processor, Octa-core chips have double the number of processor cores of quad-core chips, right? Yes. So they’re pretty much twice as powerful, right? No. Not even close. It’s not just about the numbers here. The microprocessor here ...

6- Why so serious?

Everyone in this world has some inspiration, role model and much more such. Some keep the inspiration from real life people and incidents while some take the support of VIRTUAL WORLD or simply entertainment. Getting inspired is what actually matters and not its source. Does entertainment really have an involvement over the mindsets of the people? It helps to mould the personality, shape the behaviour of the child and helps motivate the adults. On my case, I would say that it has a huge contribution over my personality and my views almost towards everything. Some examples related to me are: 1-Chak De India showed me that even if you failed at the beginning, you should never stop. Life goes on and someday, you will surely win. 2-Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaraa taught me that its OK to go with the trend, but sooner or later, you should follow only the thing that you love doing passionately. 3-Natasamrat showed what the passionate work means. Nana Patekar poured himself in the role in su...
