Remote Control Brain Technology

Posted by

Remote Control Brain TechnologyThe brain technology trains your brain to a new level of brain balance – and does it in a way that can be measured and seen by you, us, and most importantly, your brain. The brain technology uses a high speed computer, specialized brain software, sensors, signal processors, and a perfectly comfortable chair. The brain-machine interface technology — called optical topography ,sends an infrared light through the brain’s surface to map out changes in blood flow. The brain-machine interface technology has been used for medical purposes up to now, but in the future this technology may be used in various field. There are basically two things that come in the medical field basically by which the generation of Remote Control Brain Technology developed.

1).Scientists who are finding different ways of receiving senses. People who have lost a sense, such as sight or touch wear an artificial sensor.

2). This might be a video camera, or a touch sensitive glove. Then, electrical pulses which encode the sense are sent to brain via a strip on their tongue

REMOTE CONTROL Brain Gate technology is designed to read brain signals associated with controlling movement, which a computer could translate into instructions for moving a computer cursor or controlling a variety of assistive devices.

The brain computer interfacing will become a profoundly transforming technology by 2030. By then, nanobots (robots the size of human blood cells or smaller, built with key features at the multi-nanometer—billionth of a meter—scale made using neuron transistors) will provide fully immersive, totally convincing virtual reality in the following way. The nanobots will take up positions in close physical proximity to every interneuron connection coming from all of our senses (e.g., eyes, ears, skin). When we want to experience real reality, the nanobots would just stay in position (in the capillaries) and do nothing. If we want to enter virtual reality, they would suppress all of the inputs coming from the real senses, and replace them with the signals that would be appropriate for the virtual environment. Ultimately, we will merge our own biological intelligence with our own creations as a way of continuing the exponential expansion of human knowledge and creative potential.

The technology could one day replace remote controls and keyboards and help disabled people operate electric wheelchairs, beds or artificial limbs. Initial uses would be helping people with paralyzing diseases communicate even after they have lost all control of their muscles.

Different Types of Inventions

Posted by

 The items invented for the cow boys

The cowboys have always been a symbol of heroism because of their hard working nature and bravery. Today most of the dramas, stories, movies describe them. One of the many reasons they are considered as a famous figure is due to the cool inventions they made for themselves. These cool inventions today have become so popular that it is used by the whole world as their daily accessories. Their inventions and patents are today amongst the top manufacturers and sellers of the world. The regular outfits today, like Jeans hats were amongst the cool inventions of cowboys which was also named after them. The famous Stetson hat was names after John Batterson Stetson who was born in New Jersey. He was the first person to manufacture famous ten gallon hats worn by the cowboys. Previous it was named as John B Hats. Later it acquired the name of Stetson hats. Like wise there are several other cool inventions like the Bowie knife and the famous colt revolver which are famous in cowboy movies. The knife, which was mainly used for hunting purpose was invented by a Texan adventurer and slave trader Colonel James Bowie. Controversy still exists between him and his older brother, Rezin Pleasant Bowie regarding the true inventor of the knife. The knife was colloquially called an Arkansas Toothpick and had a blade of 25-38cm long. It had a guard between the handle and the blade to protect the palm.

The anticipated modern inventions

There are many controversies regarding the inventions and the patents. The true information about the inventor of some greatest inventions still is lacking the specimens for the right authentication. One of such greatest inventors whose theories have anticipated many modern inventions is the Italian brilliance Leonardo da Vinci. He was a man with versatile character of a painter, anatomist, sculptor, and architect and also is hailed as one of the maximum creators. The fact is always to be noted that the inventions and patents truly do not reveal its inventors descriptions. Among his notebooks of theories he left many such formulas and description which have turned to be the most advanced machines today. Therefore the inventions and patents of these machines may create a different perspective but it can be said that they were anticipated by the theories of Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in undisclosed mirror writing, which in early days were never built. There are hundreds of such inventions which includes the most advanced and commonly used machine of modern society like air conditioner, ball bearings, alarm clock, chemical and biological warfare, clock with minute and hour hands, crane, diving suit and diving belt, double-hull ship, gears, magnetic compass, helicopter, mechanical musical instruments, mileometer, multi-barrelled machine gun, parachute, pedometer, water clock, spectacles, tank like armoured vehicle etc.

The inventions of strange items

Most of the inventions may have been of great uses to the mankind but few of them had peculiar usage. These were called the crazy inventions ideas. However there are some inventions which may not be though as crazy as other may think depending on its usage. For example one of such crazy inventions ideas was a spider ladder which may not be so crazy for the people hoc are scared of spiders. The invention was made by British inventor Edward Doughney. There are various such inventions and patents which had strange intentions, this patent however helped spider to climb and get out of bath. The other such crazy inventions ideas included a parachute fire escape. It was patented in 1879 by Benjamin B. Oppenheimer of Trenton, USA. It was a helmet which had an attached parachute and a pair of padded shoes. It was basically invented as a precautious arrangement against fire to wear it and jump out of the blazing building and land. This was a great idea to save the people from getting caught, but it had a disadvantage and that was the risk of breaking neck due to the jerk of opening parachute in the air. The other crazy invention ideas were spectacles for chicken, motorized ice cream cone etc.

The Impact of Cloud Computing

Posted by

If a business has more than two computer terminals, it more than likely has a network. The network enables an organisation to easily share, communicate, interact, perform transactions – the list is endless. In fact, many organisations rely entirely on the network to operate. While some small businesses have little more than a modest local area network, perhaps connecting a small server to a handful of terminals, the largest enterprises are capable of handling networks of massive data centres, as well as regional LANs and a multitude of components, linked to locations around the world.

Our networks are beginning to bow under the pressure of the colossal data volumes that industry, government and consumers are now handling and transmitting. Many providers have recently – and very publicly – felt the impact of severe outages, causing millions worldwide to go without access to services, and these companies are still feeling the repercussions today. Despite ploughing extensive budgets into business continuity to protect customers from server or data centre downtime, the network does not often get the attention it deserves.

Now is the time to really think about your organisation’s network and whether it is up to the job. Could your network let you down at the worst possible time, or is your business taking smart measures to mitigate disaster?

One of the primary challenges for technology-dependent organisations is that the network manager, or team, typically has little visibility with business managers. The network manager finds himself or herself in a bind as they are driven by sourcing and maintaining reliable, robust technology, but the board is driven by budgets and efficiencies. Senior management often doesn’t see the need to throw money at a problem that doesn’t appear to exist, until it is too late.

Let’s go back to basics for a moment. The fact is the network is a complex and often misunderstood business entity. “Network” is often used as a catch-all term for two or three parallel networks – at least one for storage and one for data. Separate switches, host bus adapters, network interface cards and cables are required for each network. This clutter causes day-to-day pressures on IT department time, budgets, power consumption and cooling.

The IT department is often charged with building their own network monitoring and diagnostics tools to claw back some form of network visibility. While they offer some form of check on switches, bandwidth capacity and the flow of data through the network, they rarely cover all requirements, nor provide rapid diagnosis before outages can occur.

Planning, testing and simulation building ensures that business applications are resilient against stress and aren’t close to falling over anytime soon. Network managers are concerned about what the network is doing, while not knowing, and not being able to do anything about it. Knowing about bottlenecks and where they are, whether the network is near its limits, and whether a component is near the end of its useful life, are key to keeping the network robust.

Business change is also a key variable on the capability of the network – whether this is a large influx of new employees, a merger, or a new service or product reliant on delivery by the network. How can your organisation account for business change if you do not know that it is a day away from imploding? The network should be resilient enough to cope with today’s demands, as well as those of the future. This is particularly true for organisations that rely on the network to deliver products and services to customers.

Systems upgrades, new business applications and anything else that sucks up network bandwidth should be prepared for. Changes can cascade throughout the business, and these situations are difficult to work back from.

Tips For Choosing Marine Pumps

Posted by

If you have any type of sailing or power boat having at least one of the many types of marine pumps on board is really a safety feature. These pumps can range from hand operated pumps through to bilge pumps that run off 12 V power sources in the boat itself. With all the different models and options there really isn’t any reason not to have this important safety equipment on board, after all you never know when an accident can occur that may cause the boat to take on water.

Marine pumps that run off the boat’s power supply are typically the submersible types of pumps. They come in a variety of sizes for use on various sizes of boats. These pumps will all have a maximum amount of water that they can pump, measured in gallons per hour, in conjunction with a maximum water level under which the pump will function. The smaller the boat the smaller the pump that you need, however in larger sailing vessels more than one pump may be an important consideration.

In addition the gallons per hour of volume that will be pumped out of the boat, it is also important to consider the size of the hose outlet to the marine pumps. The larger the outlet the more water than can be pumped, but also the bigger the motor will need to be to generate the pumping capacity. Again, knowing the size of the boat in relation to the motor is essential in making the correct selection.

Marine pumps should be selected with safety in mind in addition to the pumping volume. Look for motors that offer ignition protection, which is circuit protection, ensuring that issues with ignition of possible fuel in the water are not a concern. Since these types of pumps are ideal for so called “gray” water this is an important consideration. It is also critical to check to see if the pump is suitable for use in salt or fresh water, many are good for both, before choosing a pump. Pumps that are designed to handle fresh water cannot be used in salt water, but salt water pumps operate in fresh water.

Pumps may also be self-priming or they may require priming to start. Depending on the accessibility of the pump within the boat this may be a very important consideration. If you want to have additional safety for the pump, be sure to look for pumps that have run-dry capability. This means that they can be used to drain almost all the water from the boat without possibly damaging the pump if full volume into the pump cannot be maintained due to lower water levels.

For smaller boats, campers and even for home use hand operated marine pumps are a very cost effective way to remove excess water. These pumps aren’t designed for massive amounts of water but they are ideal for dependable pumping operation. The amount of water pumped is largely dependent on the outlet hose size as well as the pumping action of the operator. They are typically self-priming and will start to pump water almost immediately with the first movement of the handle. They are lightweight and the handle is removable, making them ideal for storage in smaller cabinets or bins on board. As with the electric pumps the hand operated models can handle both salt and fresh water plus gray water. Since there is no power or possibility of spark there is no need for concern with pumping fuel that may have run into bilge water, making them very safe to operate.

Solar Electricity

Posted by

 Due to the escalating monthly electricity charges, we will need another look on we can cut costs. Even though, we have at present, adjusted our lifestyle a little to accepted guidance about cutting down power within our home, still the cost for our electricity and gas requirements surge frequently. We consequently should analyze the latest solutions of preparing energy by means of solar panel for homes. In simple terms solar energy is producing the free power from the sun to generate electrical energy. There are two familiar procedures to get electric current using the light and heat of the sun.

The first approach is by using solar panels that could harness the light from the sun and immediately switch it into electrical energy. The next is by using concentration solar power (CSP) that later on turns the heat from the sun to electric current. CSP involves the redirecting the heat of the sunlight into a particular focal point that could turn water into steam. The steam thus produced might then be used to move the generators which will eventually generate electric current. The concentration solar power (CSP) technology was exploited by environment-friendly countries as well as larger establishments to generate electric current for running the business.

These corporations put together solar farms, sequences of circular mirrors which comply with the location of the sunlight, to reflect most of the beams onto a single location. This approach is quite simple and had proved to be successful. As expected, this procedure has a basic downside, because it’s too hazardous to be used for residential use. Environment-friendly homes have turned to using solar energy in their houses. Although, this technique isn’t to date productive, is the newest happening to power self sufficiency. The phrase photovoltaic is derived from two different words, “Photo” which stands for light and “voltaic” meaning electric current.

Photovoltaic panels could be established by adding negative and positive silicon amidst two non-refractive glasses of which one of the sheets is cured with boron and the other one with phosphorous that helps make a negative and a positive charge. Each time the solar cells are lit up by sunlight, electric current is developed. Solar power systems are linked to electric powered tools which use DC current and manage electric current in storage type lead acid power packs that power the household electric powered equipments since the sunlight is not continuously accessible to provide light for the photovoltaic panels. For the reason that, typical household appliances needs AC current, you have to fix an electronic gadget called inverter, which transforms the DC Current to popular AC Current.

Solar technology is costly, because we’ve got to get new machinery. However, we could regain the cost later on. In many countries like Australia, rebates are provided by government institutions in the event that solar power is put to use. Solar power is the technology for the future. It’s clean, productive and efficient. It does not produce hazardous gases which spoil our climate. The positive aspect is that we are self-dependent. I mean one less settlement to make each month. A Solar Panel is an investment. It is a thoughtful financial investment. Furthermore it is an investment for our future. Having solar energy for homes is the appropriate path, since it’s the future. Lastly, all the money spent might certainly improve the price of the real estate also.

Need To Know Guide Explaining Smart TVs

Posted by

 In the same way that smartphones revolutionised the mobile market, Smart TVs are set to turn the traditional television into a dinosaur.

To put it in a nutshell, Smart TVs integrate Internet possibilities to open up a whole new horizon of interactive viewing and customised content. From downloading useful apps and streaming online videos to keeping up with your social network contacts, the modern telly is poised to include the same computing powers as your PC.

The following guide will outline the key facts about Smart TVs so you can make the right choice as they increasingly flood the marketplace.

DLNA Certified Streaming

As more and more ‘smart’ devices become available, they would become increasingly unmanageable if they could not be synchronised to work as a team – after all, the point of all these snappy gadgets is to give you access to the services and content you want, no matter where you are.

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is the organisation that created the standard for sharing media among multiple devices on your home network. You’re advised to choose a Smart TV that is DLNA certified so that you can play movies, display photos and listen to music, whether using your PC, smartphone, Xbox or any other device that is connect to your wireless network.

Internet Access

Access to the web is what makes the new generation TV ‘smart’, since this is what will allow you to connect and tailor the content you specifically want from online sources as opposed to the traditional broadcasting approach. To this end, there are two main emerging technologies for TV Internet access:

TV Applications

Just as with smartphones, one of the most exciting features about Smart TVs is that they’re app based – meaning you can download useful applications to directly access web-based services with ease. This activity is managed using hubs, where you can choose from an ever growing list of options from your TV home screen.

The first Smart TV models simply offered basic apps for sites like YouTube and Flickr since the app market was still in its infancy. However, due to this being is a rapidly growing market, you’ll now have a wide range of fun and useful apps to choose from.

The weak link in TV apps however is that manufacturers are releasing an increasingly diverse amount of Smart TV platforms – this results in companies having to develop individual apps for each of them, and for you then having to suffer the limitations and quirks specific to the platform you happen to own.

TV Optimised Websites

The difference and advantage of a website designed for your TV over downloading apps is that it will give your telly Internet access to their services regardless of your Smart TV platform.

In short, a TV optimised website will give you direct access to the company’s content services in the same way as you received viewing material from a traditional broadcaster.

The current issue with access to streaming content via a TV optimised website is that not all Smart TVs provide a web browser. If it turns out that this feature does not become the standard in all future television models, a TV optimised site can easily be turned into a TV app however.

A further factor affecting the TV optimised medium is HTML5 – this latest web standard accounts for about 54% of all Web video at the present, which suggests it will soon become the norm for future TV optimised sites. This will streamline their service delivery significantly – as the capabilities of Smart TV browsers increase, and optimised sites begin to take advantage of enhanced HTML5 features, they will have the potential to rival the capabilities of TV apps.

Conclusion

Without a doubt, the Smart TV is due to become the next standard in home entertainment. Rather than merely sitting back and having shows broadcast to your living room, these new generation telly’s will allow you to stream content online when you want as well as interact and tailor your media in the same way as you would from a PC or other such device. While this technology is still new to the marketplace, by the looks of things it will rapidly become the latest smart must-have.

How Colocation Datacenters Are Always Secure

Posted by

A high level of protection is required to safeguard the integrity of private or other sensitive information. Many organizations spare no effort in making sure that colocation data centres remain exclusive and not open to intruders. Online access of such information is also limited to those who are allowed to access it.

The most basic way of preventing access is to have an effective physical security system. By keeping the premises secure, there is little chance of an intruder getting to the servers and other sensitive equipment. People who have no reason to be in the premises are the first to be kept away. Reducing contact with unauthorized persons significantly reduces the chances of unwanted interaction.

An electronic access control system is used to not only deny access to unauthorized persons, but to also keep a record of those who get in. By using electronic tokens like swipe cards, the system logs in every action performed by all users. The cards can also be used to deny access to more sensitive areas. This is done in a bid to reduce further the personnel who actually have permission to reach sensitive locations.

A well designed security mechanism eases the movement of authorized persons within the premises. Guests do not get the chance to move so freely due to the risks involved. Each guest is escorted in and out of the premises by a security guard. Even those who visit for an extended time, like contractors are not exempted. Such measures ensures that someone with inappropriate plans gets no time to execute them.

Having security guards escort visitors is an effective strategy. This however works even better when a closed circuit television system is implemented to complement it. Having visual security reduces even more the chances of a person impersonating another to gain entry into a sensitive area. Since the images are stored for some time after they are captured, they can be referred to in the future.

More advanced mechanisms are put in place to keep the information secure from online threats. By using modern and updated security software, only those who have the right access levels are allowed to connect. Without proper security, hackers can find loopholes in the system and exploit them to get in. By keeping all software updated and properly configured, such incidences are greatly reduced if not properly eliminated.

Power is an important component in the whole setup. A reliable supply is needed to keep the premises functioning as required. More than one power supply system is required to reduce reliance on only one source. Such protection comes in handy when a failure occurs. The second supply takes over hence averting an interruption in service delivery. Green energy has gained preference in recent years since it is more environment friendly.

Colocation data centres require a comprehensive security mechanism to ensure that the integrity of all information is maintained. Physical security provides the most basic mechanism of keeping intruders away. Sophisticated electronic systems provide a more advanced layer of regulating access. Intruders are kept out, while the regular personnel are monitored and regulated as well. Such systems also keep records of all occurrences to aid in future plans.

Nanotechnology A Radical Technology for the Future

Posted by

  Nanotechnology is a study, which deals with the development and manipulation of matter, materials, and structures that are sized between 1 to 100 nanometers. One nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter. Though nanotechnology can be considered as recent technological advancement, the groundwork for this technology was formulated and conceptualized in the early 1980s. In simple terms, a comparative size of a nanometer to a meter is the same as that of a marble when compared to the size of the earth.

The groundwork laid for nanotechnology was further enhanced by the invention of scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 and the discovery of fullerenes in 1985. The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope really triggered the study of nanotechnology. The scanning tunneling microscope enables the viewing of imaging surfaces at the atomic level at a good resolution of 0.1 nanometer and a 0.01 nanometer depth resolutions. At these resolutions, scientists were able to view individual atoms within materials and manipulate them. Another invention which aided the development of nanotechnology was the birth of cluster science and the invention of fullerenes. Fullerenes are molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid or tube.

The credit to the formulation and conceptualization of nanotechnology is shared by a number of scientists. The speech given by Richard Feynman in the late 1950s is considered to be the inspiration for the development of nanotechnology. Norio Taniguchi coined and used the term nano-technology in 1974 to describe processes such as thin film deposition and ion beam milling. In the 1980s, Eric Drexler took steps to promote the technological ideas of nano-scale phenomena and nanomaterials through speeches and books.

Nanotechnology can be further subdivided into various other related categories such as nanomaterials, nanomedicine, molecular self-assembly, and nanoelectronics. All these categories are subject to research and the early results are positive. Nanotechnology also deals with conventional device physics, and also implicates the application of fields such as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, and microfabrication, among others.

Nanotechnology applications are used across various industries such as medicine, environment, energy, communication, heavy industry, and consumer goods. In the medicine and pharmaceutical industry, the technology is used for diagnostics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. In the environment related industry, it is used in nanofiltration, nanotechnology, and other environmental applications. In the energy industry, nanotechnology is used to reduce energy consumption, increase energy production, and clean nuclear waste. In the information and communication space, it is used in the development of memory storage devices, novel semiconductor devices, novel optoelectronic devices, displays, and quantum computers.

For all those on the lookout for an engrossing field of study, nanotechnology is your prime option and it will certainly prove to be a noteworthy career option. To know more about nanotechnology and the related fields, get into a public library and ask the librarian for some famous books on nanotechnology. If you could afford to get a Cheap Internet connection with minimal download speeds, you could research and read through e-books and articles on nanotechnology, on the other hand, you can also gain access to nanotechnology journals and comment on related blogs and forums.

As with all new technologies, there is a sort of skepticism among people when trusting this new technology, but there will be a day when this technology will certainly answer all the critics. Akin to the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, it is certain that there will be another technology bubble, this time relating to the field of nanotechnology. With nanotechnology catering almost all the vital industrial sectors, it is sure to dominate the marketplace with its innovations in the near future.

How to Be a Gadget Minimalist

Posted by

What is a Gadget Minimalist?

A gadget minimalist is someone who knows how to deal with new and old gadgets for the welfare of the environment. He or she is someone who knows how to conserve energy and someone who practices recycling. In short, a gadget minimalist is an eco-geek: a simple environmentalist and a tech-savvy in one.
There are a lot of ways to be one. For example, if you are a person who needs a cellphone to use, you should consider these practices to be a smart shopper and a gadget minimalist all at the same time.

1. Buy Used Cellphones
Buying used cellphones or any pre-owned device will give you two benefits. When you buy used cellphones, you are already extending its lifetime while lowering its carbon footprint. Also, you are saving money.

If you will consider the huge chunk of companies churning out new gadgets in a New York minute, then being able to buy barely used cellphones will be something fun to do.

2. Think like an Expert
When you are planning to buy used cellphones or other gadgets, you must first take time to look at Energy Star ratings, EPEAT ratings, Consumer Reports, and other professional sources to make useful comparisons among what is smart to buy. Keep in mind that doing this will bring you a lot of benefits, such as getting the best gadget to purchase with all its eco-friendly advantage.

3. Go for Recyclable Gadgets
Hey eco-geek wannabe! Going for used cellphones is not enough to be a gadget minimalist! You must also check if the gadget you want to buy is something made from recycled materials. If it is, then consider it a green light! If not, consider other models. But if you really want what you have chosen but it does not fall under this category, it is okay to buy it as long as when you are done with it, you will consider reselling again. Being a gadget minimalist means you should never run out of green choices to make!

4. Going Multifunctional
Say you are already done with the “buying used cellphones” phase and you have your new toy with you, now is the time to get the most out of your multifunctional device. Now that gadgets are manufactured with a lot of features and functions, you can do a lot of multitasking.
By doing this, you no longer have to have too many gadgets to fulfill a certain task. This is a very minimalistic approach as you can limit the use of too many things using only one gadget. As you have a phone that is not just a phone, that should suffice.

5. The Ooh-Shiny Syndrome
Okay, the Ooh-Shiny syndrome is something malignant nowadays considering the growing number of tech-savvy individuals. A piece of advice, avoid it. If you are able to focus on buying used cellphones instead of new-fangled ones, congratulate yourself. This just means that you are already on the verge of becoming a gadget minimalist.
A friendly reminder: if you are already feeling the unwanted frustration and “itch” to buy that certain shiny thing, think of other green options. Go for sites that sell used cellphones which are considerably new. Then and there you’ll do away with this contagious disease.

6. Make money by selling used cellphones or other used stuff
Making money is something very easy if you know where to go and what to do about it. If you want to buy used cellphones, you can sell these things too. Nowadays, it is not a rare thing to find used cellphones in your household. What to do? Take charge of it! Go to refurbishing sites and sell it. You can always choose to dispose of it in a green way by having something green in your pocket in return.

7. Raid your household!
Go all out! Clean your house and get all the e-waste you can find. This is not just about buying or selling used cellphones. This is all about going all-out for the environment. Do you have used laptops or any other electronic device you do not want to use anymore? Either Sell it or donate, but recycling is by far the best choice you can take.

Implement all these things and congratulate yourself. Being a gadget minimalist can be one of the noblest things you can do. Convert now and give your green goal a green light!
