admin — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:17:49 +0000

Compression technique is usually adopted in cases where a file or image is forced to occupy a small area in the memory. There are many softwares available for the compression of files and images. Basically two types of Compressions are available. Lossy and lossless compressions. Lossy compression, as the name indicates would have some data loss while compressing the files, on the other hand Lossless Compression would not result in any loss of data even after compression. Generally Lossy Compression is done to images, as small losses of data would not affect the entire picture. Lossless Compression in adopted to text file compressions because even a few losses of data in text file would convey a diferent message.

Water Scarcity is now a major problem in all the major cities and densely populated areas. People in gulf countries buy water in exchange of money. This method started off in every country now-a-days to meet the demand for the water. If this is the situation then there will arise a situation were we need to save water for the future use as we save precious metals like gold, diamond or platinum. In this scenario, the major water consuming process in our daily life is our washing process. We spend lot of water for washing our clothes. Even in the new coming advanced washing machines, we need to pour a lot amount of water in the washing machine in order to rinse and wash our clothes. After washing our clothes, we let out this waste water outside. As this waste water contains chemical substances in it in the form of detergents and dirt from our clothes, we can not reuse the water too. Hence all the water we pour inside the washing machine finally gets wasted off……

So, Dreaming of a Waterless Washing Machine!!!!!!!!!! Your Dream has now become true. A waterless washing machine has been developed in U.K and will be let out in the market for sale in the next year. The price of this new water less washing machine would not be very high; it would be really affordable, nearly same as the advanced washing machines already available in the market. This washing machine consumes just a cup of water with the detergent. The water is absorbed by the chips that are fitted in the washing machine. So, we won’t require any external dries to dry the clothes. So, Lets all wait for the arrival of this boon in the market….

ROBOTS USED IN MILITARIES

admin — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:37:47 +0000

Gone are the days when the saying “Robots employed in War fields are science fictions”. It has become true now- a –days. It is good application of Robots too. Robots find its application in almost all fields. Application of Robots in warfare is the greatest of all. Because the use of robots in war fields replacing the humans needs well equipped features in built it need. As robots are machines it won’t have feelings of patriotism and kindness in it. Every thing is programmed in it in prior. Any small mistake in the program will lead a tremendous change and finally lead to the defeat of the concerned nation.

But on the other hand the idea of employing these robots in the war fields is an appericiatable thing, as lots of human lives can be saved. The major loss in both the sides in case of a war is the human loss, next only comes the property loss, and every thing. Such a loss can be avoided; precious life of humans can be saved if robots are employed in the war field. In military robot mean everything right from a man less truck to a man less aircraft. Many countries have now started to fund more amounts for research in these areas. We engineers can also share our knowledge to get this research done.

Telecommuting is a process where employees work at home itself instead going to the company in person. Telecommuting is the result of the advanced communication techniques. Employees need not go to their office in person daily to do their work. They can do their work at home itself and can report their final assignment status once in a week or twice in a week. This saves the employee’s time and the company’s time too. Moreover since the person is at home, he would be free from stress and other problems. In these densely populated cities, traveling from one place to another is a great problem. Starting from home till the desired destination one should cross many signals and face many traffics problems. All these problems could be greatly avoided by this technique. Telecommuting facility is now on practice in many companies. Every one in 5 employees is afforded with this facility.

CONGESTION IN THE NETWORK

admin — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:00:23 +0000

Congestion in the network is mainly due to traffic overload. The traffic overload is created when the sender and receiver misunderstands each other. When there is no proper synchronization between the sender and receiver, the traffic overload problem occurs. When the sender sends the data at a faster rate and the receiver receives it in a slower rate then there arises traffic. The reverse case is also possible. To avoid these traffic and subsequently the congestion there are many methods available like Leaky bucket concept. Congestion dramatically decreases the Quality of Service. Quality of Service (QoS) is the main thing that should be maintained in the networking concept. Hence a network should be free from congestion to maintain its QoS

ANIMALS USED IN RESEARCHS

admin — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:52:39 +0000

Do you how many animals are killed before inventing a new medicine that cure us. Any new medicines that are developed in the laboratories are first tested with the lab animals first. Only if it gets succeeded then the medicine will be allowed for use by the humans. In order to save the human community we people are destroying the animal community. But this procedure could not be stopped because, the medicine that are developed in the research laboratories should be checked with a living being before marketing it. And this constraint could be satisfied only with the animals. Testing the medicine on humans would not prove right. And at the same time the animals used for the testing purpose in research laboratories will be chosen such that they will not be extinct in the near future. In other words endangered animals, in the verge of the extinction, will not be used for the research purposes.

PRINTERS SPY ON YOU

admin — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:08:24 +0000

Thinking that Technology improvement has only many advanced features to use up? Then you are wrong. All technologies that have been developed now have a secret mechanism to Spy on their users. Astonishing? But its true. Every new invention now-a-days has several advanced technologies in built in them, which can be used in both constructive and destructive ways. If these technologies are used in a good way, then that creates no problem to the citizens of the earth. But if used in a wrong manner, then the whole world should pay for it. Hence to avoid all these consequences that are to be faced after introducing a new device with latest technology, it is always better to have some mechanism in built in the system or device to spy on the users. For instance, Printers developed now-a-days have this feature. U.S Government has introduced this spy ware mechanism in some color laser printers which encodes every page that the printer takes print out with identifying information. This process was introduced mainly to identify the Counterfeit money printed illegally; there will be invisible yellow dots on the printed papers, which is used to track the printed documents. The surveillance department set up by the government will check all the documents without your knowledge or consent. Once if they find any thing wrong, they will send secret services to your address to enquire you. How interesting??
