Einstein was right

 Scientists who suggested neutrinos could travel faster than light conceded  that Einstein was right and the sub-atomic particles are like everything else bound by the universe's speed limit. 

Researchers working at  CERN caused a storm when they published experimental results showing the particles could out-pace light by some six kilometres (3.7 miles) per second. 

The findings threatened to upend modern physics and smash a hole in Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which described the velocity of light as the maximum speed in the cosmos. 

The neutrinos were timed   from CERN's giant underground lab near Geneva to the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy, after travelling 732 kilometers (454 miles) through the Earth's crust. 

 The neutrinos should have taken 0.0024 seconds. Instead, the particles were recorded as hitting the detectors in Italy 0.00000006 seconds sooner than expected. 
The initial findings had been greeted with a combination of excitement and skepticism. 

Air is more toxic in kitchen than in streets

Using a gas cooker in  kitchen could expose you to higher levels of toxic pollutants than roaming in a smoke filled streets.
Researchers from the Sheffield University in the UK found that indoor air pollution in airtight kitchens can be three times more noxious than traffic-choked streets.

The researchers compared three homes - a rural house split into two flats and used electric cookers and two other city centre apartments using gas appliances.
The scientists took air quality samples from outside and inside the homes over a four-week period, and found that only very low traces of highly-toxic carbon monoxide in the kitchen of the rural house, but levels were much higher in the flats where the gas ovens were turned on.

The gas cookers were a significant source of nitrogen dioxide, with concentrations in the city centre flat's kitchen three times higher than those recorded outside the property and well above the limits recommended, they said.

INTERNET SECURITY:

INTERNER SECURITY:
 Firefox,google chrome,internet explorer what ever it may be to get into the world of internet we need a browser.There are many unseen and unknown facilities in the form of adons.
Special for Firefox:
1.       By mistake if you had closed a tab with valuable info and want to retain the closed one you can go to history and choose recently closed tabs option because the closed tabs will move to that menu only.
2.       If you don’t want anyone to see your private tab then there is a special adon i.eclose n forget.you need to install it in the browser and restart the browser.
3.       If you don’t want to open any harmful website then there is WOT service.As soon as you install it,it appears in address bar with a special symbol.you can set your security by different sections like basic,light,parentalcontrols etc.
4.       If you want to manage others not to see the history,cookies etc.then there is a service by name “better privacy”.as soon as you install this moves into tools menu .By using LSO manager ,options available there on you can set it as you like.
New in chrome:
1.       If you want to know the security for the passwords you had for your mail and banking services there is no need for external softwares you can easily get it from browser itself.For that you need to install “password secure tester”.you need to install this and it appears at the end of addressbar and it also tells you about the time that will be taken to trace the password.
2.       If you want to hide all the tabs at once then you need to get panic button.If you click on the icon available at end of address bar all the tabs will be hidden.

How Shark Skin increases Fuel Efficiency??

It is quiet fascinating to design an aerodynamic, high energy efficient and more fuel efficient aircrafts which holds the key for saving energy and it has been time to involve the oceans oldest predator ‘shark’ in the design of these aircrafts.
     Germany’s biggest airlines Lufthansa took an initiative for trails of shark skin paints on their airbuses. Some rough estimations for engineers said that if an aircraft was covered by 40-70% of shark skin paint, it could reduce the fuel consumption by 1%.
     The sharks skin is covered in tiny riblets that reduce turbulent vortices and drag they cause and thereby reducing the surface resistance when moving at high speeds. This phenomenon of stream line shark skin had been known for about 30 years and it is found in various applications in diverse fields like aeronautics, military aircraft designs and development of high swimsuits.

NEW TECHNIQUE TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY FROM BACTERIA


Bacteria is very useful in generating electricity by using devices known as microbial fuel cells(mfc).The device has an anode and cathode which are connected and during the breathing process of bacteria they release electrons as a part of metabolism  on to the anode. These electrons when directed towards a closed path constitute an electric current.
     These MFC’s has to be filled with mud,sewage,waste and we should wait for the growth of bacteria. These bacteria will not use any intermediate in transferring the electrons to the anode. In turn they touch the anode .For this they are having filaments which directly transfer electrons .such filaments are called nanowires.When billions of bacteria combine they form conductive biofilms which transfer the electrons. These MFC’s find good scope in bioremediation where microorganisms are used to remove pollutants. These MFC’s can be run in reverse for producing organic compounds and this is called microbial electro synthesis.

TATOO AND SKIN CARE

Tattooing a keyword often heard in the youth of present generation. Many may feel that the presence of tattoos will add beauty and they are least aware of the risk of cancer .Inks used usually contain cobalt,aluminium,Mercurial sulphide,cadmium etc  and many are not aware of the blood borne diseases like HIV ,hepatitis B if the equipment used for tattooing is contaminated with the infected blood. I am not saying that all those who had got tattoos will get skin cancer but the risk is high. 



Some individuals need their tattoos to last long, which need deep penetration into the skin damaging  muscles. One should not get tattoo near a mole scientifically nervus because it may cause melanoma. One should avoid tattoos between midribs and upper shoulders .The risks of removing tattoos is also high causing hypo pigmentation(loss of skin color) or hyper pigmentation(skin darkening). So what I suggest is that if one is really interested on tattoos he should go to a professional who will use organic inks and
 KEEP YOURSELF HEALTHY.

HYPER THREADING Processor

This is the high end processor that would process  numerous number of tasks by the parallelization technique of computations. In this processor is processed in two different parts of operating system which addresses the virtual core. This shares the work load and runs like two different parts of the processing cores.Partially it appears  like the two processing units working for the operating system.Active working of the hyper threading processors would more often or purposely used to decrease the workloads and increase the systems speed.These processing unit is generally designed like threads which are placed parallel to each other taking the data.


Generally the processor unit contains two different units i.e RAM and CPU. This ends have the execution process so as to work with the tasks provided.So as to work continuously these are connected or linked by pipeline unit where intake of different tasks are taken and executed to digital codes for executions.Suppose if we are using 80"s processor (8080 and so on) we would experience the log time when the execution of a six line code would take more execution time which makes no sense wasting time.Generally these days the execution of many applications is generally converted to a infinite digits of code that need to be executed.So to make the log to load the data they are stacked and run in continuous intervals of execution time.These days advanced processors and GNU"s are developed to enhance the higher speeds in 400 to 900 MHz and designed in feature size of 50 to 20 nm. For this sort of modern processor this would approximately deliver approximately around 3000 to 8000 Millon Instructions Per Second and 2 to 5 FLoating point Operations Per Second.Only negatives of hyper threading processor is being energy inefficient.These use 45% more power than the general Dual Core processors because of Multi-threading processing.

File attachment size increased to 10GB


Google inc. in a blogspot announced that it would allow users to increase the file size to upto 10GB which is merely 25MB right now.one can send not only text files or images but expanding the file size attachement to 10GB will increase ones own interest in sharing large content.This new feature would be available for those who have signed  up for gmails new email compose and will be offered to only a few section of users.Ingoin depth it is just like sending a link to a file hosted in google drive.It is aptly as we do in cloud-based file sharing services.The advantage is that as your file is stored in the cloud,the recipient would have an access to any changes to the files sent by you.This service seems to require a high quality and high speed broadband connection.

Google physical key



Google is getting ready to set personal items as keys to ones google accounts.This sounds good as passwords seems no longer safe for the users even how strong they may be.There will be a physical key which may be ones own finger ring or a usb drive with a chip embedded in it.Even the smartphones may act as a physical key for your google accounts.This tiny usb key is called yubi key.And even with advantages  of this new outcome there are disadvantages even like what happens if one looses his/her key.The firm is right now working on this issue.Lets wait for the new outcome from google

WHY A ROCKET SHOOTS UP ?


Many may think it is by thrusting itself from the air with the help of gases ejecting out.The real flight of a rocket  is different.A Russian revolutionary kibalchich explained the design of a rocket which is once used as a military weapon.In a tin cylinder closed at one end and open at other if we insert a cylinder of same size with gunpowder with a channel in center  combustion begins at surface and spreads within a definite period of time to the outer surface . The gases presses on every side ,the pressure exerted on sides is offset,but the pressure at bottom is not offset by an opposite pressure as there is an outlet for gases. Thus we are able to thrust the rocket in direction in which it was mounted  before ignition .

The same happens  in a projectile also. Take the recoil of a rifle if our gun was in mid air and had nothing to rest upon it would move back after projectile is fired with a speed less than that of bullet.The oldest  steam engine which was  invented in 2nd century works on the same principle.

HIGH DATA TRANSFER



Photonics is the new methodology to transfer data at higher levels up-to 100 G bps,which is huge transfer rate at modern times as light is considered faster compared to copper cables. This development in data transfer rates are developed by Intel and server makers Quanta have come up with the prototype of the data transfer by optical communications.This transfer of data is through the high intensity levels of bandwidths in lasers and light as sources along with the data.
This systems are developed by the server chips for processing and silicon switches to link the servers as they would not hang when huge data is being transferring. These systems are placed in rack architectural places with the power supplies and fans at the data centers. 



Silicon photonics is really a good method to adapt so as to transfer the data at high speed with less power consumption than the copper cables. As this methodology is advanced which needs new sort of servers that would handle the logs in the processing units.
For multiple protocols this will be the alternative segment that deals in networking systems advancements which would maintain the transfer speed in higher bandwidth ranges.
Intel has been collaborating with Facebook to handle huge number of protocols and data to use this technology photonics. 

Shock " Alarm clock"

@ Shock clock



The Alarm clock that makes to wake up on time with no repeated snoozes but shocks you. This alarm clock "shock" was invented by Indian student Sankalp sinha ,19 years old who used to miss his class hours on mornings.


He has come up with the idea to wake up on time so developed the alarm clock "shock" with aluminium coated snooze button on top of the alarm clock.The button would generate a minimal voltage (micro volts) i.e mostly of 2 volts or so to wake you up.

You might have been thinking to get the apparatus setup to wake up promptly on time. So do not worry it has set to make to the market to wake you up.It would cost you around $145 in the market.It will be manufactured with AC adapted source input and a back up battery.
So get the Shock alarm and fuse to win .

Flexible batteries for flex phones ..




Flexible mobile phone



The new concept that is on high swing this year is Flexile mobile phones. But the flexible mobile phones have to be incorporated with the batteries which have to sustain with the mobile environment. So the developers have come up with new idea of flexible electrolyte type of lithium ion batteries. These batteries use fluid-like polymer electrolytes that are used for lithium-ion batteries.  We will find in Conventional batteries  liquefied electrolytes are kept in square-shaped cases, which has a great risk of explosion.


Flexible battery

The use of fluid-like electrolytes not only makes the battery flexible but also more stable. 
The concept lying behind the concept of flexible batteries  is spreading the fluid-like electrolytes on electrodes and exposing them to ultraviolet rays for a small duration. The electrolytes used in these type of flexible batteries have higher efficiency to sustain for longer duration.So flexible mobile phones would built in the desired shape with flexible batteries for more efficiency.

Speech recognition for browsers...

Howdy Howdy......
       
Yes this is absolutely true its not only for smart phones ,Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox are with the speech recognition for the browsers . So grab your microphone and talk to your machines and that gives you output.This will make the tasks easier to find and browse with the new speech recognition for browsers.
This are developed by the JavaScript API developers where they have integrated different applications for these web browsers. In the Beta versions of the Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox versions,they are up with the speech recognition and the applications.
This would create a mobile environment of browsing.

@ Smart flexible phones



The chase for this year is the new smart flexible phones concept by de poorter design Inc. So this would complicate the production rate between the Apple Inc. and Samsung Inc. This year 2013 we are on our way to use the flexible screened mobile phones. As the model is specified by the de poorter design Inc was that its case is made with aluminium foils and in the central part of the mobile that sleeks to action with silicone threading design.So this iflex phones would be bent into two halves that makes the total design so vivid.This would need the OLED touch screens which would easily tampered with the situation.



This new phase of mobiles would log to create new applications inventions for the developers called flex apps. This flex are designated to design in accordance with the dimensions and the central division of the iflex  phones.


Hope this would create a huge revolution by the de poorter design Inc in collaboration with Apple Inc and Samsung Inc.

MAGIC OF 3D

Experience of movies graduallychanged from B&W to colour and the current 3D and 4D, and similarly the TVs in our homes. Bulky TV sets have given way to slim LCD and LEDs TV's and 3D.A pair of glasses are provided to enjoy the effects of 3D.If those glasses are removed we cannot experience the joy anymore and we will be disappointed viewing blurred images.

Working of 3D:
The 3D effect is nothing but  an illusion to the viewer. To understand  this , simply watch your hand with both your eyes, then close one eye as you keep watching the hand with the other eye. Now close this eye and open the previous one. Repeat this twice or thrice. You will see as if the hand is moving back and forth. This  arises due to the illusion in visualising the hand with different eyes.

This is the basis for developing the 3D glasses. The movie screen actually displays two images. The glasses are designed to feed different images into our eyes. These let one of the images to enter one eye and the other image to enter the other eye. This is achieved using any of two ways: red/green or red/blue 3D glasses, and polarisation.
Red/green or red/blue 3D glasses
In this system, to produce the 3D effect, two images one in red and the other in green or blue will be displayed on the screen. The colour filters on the glasses filter only one image to enter each eye. But the image quality is not as good as developed by polarisation

However, the image quality with this method is not as good as with the polarised system. The reason is it somehow restricts some of the actual colours of the scene as it applies filtration by means of the colour itself.
Polarisation:
The two images are projected on the screen with polarized light with their plane of polarization in perpendicular to each other. If we look at the screen without any 3D glass we will see blurred images only as the two pictures are overlapping each other and both the image are seen together by both the eyes.
3D glasses use Polaroid with the plane of polarization in mutually perpendicular directions. So, when we wear the Polaroid glasses and look at the screen, only one of the image will be seen by one of the eyes and the second eye sees the other image. This creates the 3D sensation.



Platforms for developing cloud applications??

OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT IN CLOUD COMPUTING APPLICATIONS

The users these days expect software applications that are generous and rich. So, these applications should run with high bandwidth that fastens the processing ever before.These real time high processing applications should be followed. Therefore developer must have savvy to create and test with the cloud based applications.


So the development is done in three different models such as
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2. Software as a Service (SaaS)
3. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
The above three models are interlinked with development organisations managing the hardware installations.
These developed applications are linked with the workstations that are operated,this formation of different software applications and mediation between users is cloud computing.


The performance is tested with different backlogs and variations.Therefore the developers run a check with the Bill of Materials(BOM) and Open Source Software (OSS).These software applications are protected technically by the vulnerability checkers. This would mediate the applications with high security and high processing speeds.
