Vintage Exams With New Technology

You might have listened only vintage cars or vintage house till now but now I introduce vintage exams.
This post is solely written after seeing all new patterns in different kinds of exams. I got to know that exam for GATE 2014 is now a online exam, Moreover after checking the new placement patterns of different companies like TCS, Infosys and others every exam is changing now. 

Lets have a look at different exams and there patterns.


Exciting Products for 2013

There are a slew of exciting new products that are slated to enter the market this year. Keep your eyes and ears open for the new tech releases. I've already made a list of some of the most exciting products one can look forward to....

ANDROID 5.0


After Android 4.21 Jelly Bean comes 5.0 Lime Pie. Android 5.0 is likely to launch in May, and the first company to get its hands on it is going to be LG. The first Phone to carry it is rumored to be either the Optimus G2 or the Nexux7. The new Android should be compatible with Google's new release: Google TV.

FIREFOX OS



Mozilla is the non-profit organisation that brought us the revolutionary high-customization browser. Firefox thus bringing about the end of Internet Explorer's monopoly. Now Mozilla is entering the mobile phone OS market by creating an open source operating system that it claims will be even cheaper than Google' Android. Can Firefox OS challenge Android's dominance?

WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY



Most of us have heard about the Google's glass project, but perhaps we didn't take it too seriously. On the other hand the competitors such as Microsoft and Apple have already started development of their own prototypes to compete against Google. With the competitions in this area heating up, it's possible that we see a wearable technology revolution in the coming years.

LEAP MOTION



Technology is becoming simpler and more intutitive, and leap motions --- a motion detector similar to kinect --- aims to render the computer mouse obsolute.  The leap motion will allow you to flip through photo albums with your fingertips and manipulate a 3D model on a computer as if you were holding it in your hand.

Talk With Your Fork While Eating Noodles



I used to eat Noodles and thought if we can ever talk with any nonliving things like Fork or others, And now the Japanese have made it real and they have made a fork that can talk when you eat. So now you are never alone to eat your fork will be always there to guide you how you are going while your course of eating. Now lets see how....

The fork can inject a bit of fun and excitement into your lunch if you find mealtimes boring. Researchers from the Ochanomizu University in Tokyo have announced the development of a talking fork called the EsTheremine that likes to speak different words and play bizarre sounds as you eat.

The fork-like instrument comes equipped with a micro controller, a speaker, amplifier and battery within its handle to produce different sounds (something which depends on the type of food being eaten) and even speak while you enjoy your meal.




"The sounds are apparently generated by the resistance value of the food as it is bitten off the fork ?? the noise it produces as she eats a chicken nugget sounds remarkably similar to a chicken clucking.When the young lady on film tucks in to a piece of tempura the fork proclaims 'Garigori' and 'shori' while a stick of cheese produces the word 'Paku'. Apparently longer pieces of food will cause the fork to produce multiple sounds and words while they are eaten," the Daily Mail reported.

The fork has the ability to distinguish between different types of eating.

With this invention, the developers aim to encourage people to try different types of food and thus a more varied diet. They want the fork to be used as a communication tool for couples, the report added. 



The fork will have a great future as we are alone most of the time and need someone to talk with us at that time. Lets see how usefull it will be and by when can we have such forks.

New Technology Converts Ink Into Sound!

The printed paper when connected to an audio amplifier give us a considerably loud sound. 



We have seen flexible electronic circuits from Xerox and also flexible organic flash memory from Tokyo University in the past. But it seems that a German researcher could be the first to commercialise electronics printed on a sheet of paper. Professor Hübler, who runs a research and development group at the Chemnitz University (pmTUC) in Germany, has come up with a new technology that converts ink into sound. The newly developed ink makes it possible to produce flat speakers or printed solar cells. 

The printed paper loudspeaker is connected to an audio amplifier like a conventional loudspeaker. "Frequency response and hence sound quality are very good and the paper is surprisingly loud. Just the bass of the paper-based loudspeaker is a bit weak,” explains Dr Georg Schmidt, senior researcher at pmTUC. The thin loudspeakers, which are printed in the laboratories of pmTUC, contain several layers of a conductive organic polymer and a piezoactive layer. 

According to project assistant Maxi Bellmann, the loudspeakers can be produced in a very cheap way as mass printing methods are used. It is possible to print coloured messages on unused space available at the bottom side of the paper loudspeaker.

New applications
 
The paper loudspeakers could be integrated into common print products. They also look promising for the advertising segment. "In addition, sound wallpapers and purely technical applications, e.g., distance sensors, are possible, because the papers are also active in the ultrasound range,” says Hübler and adds: "As printing allows for different formats and forms, there is the possibility to influence the generated sound waves.”
 

Glass-free 3D screens come closer to reality


You may soon have to do away with your 3D glasses, as researchers including one of Indian origin are trying to develop images that work no matter where you are in the room could see images stand out from a flat TV screen without the need for any silly eyeware.
Prof Ramesh Raskar at MIT's Media Lab, who led the project, explained that in order to make this type of tridimensional illusion work, it was necessary to split 3D into two 2D images in a wide spectrum of view.

Afterwards, the advanced math kicks in by speedily calculating which of the two 2D pictures the audience needs to see first and second at every angle, 3D TV Watcher reported.
This is followed by light going through small lenses and a few layers of liquid crystal displays before being sorted into two categories - transparent and opaque - and at last reaching the viewer's eye at very high rates.
The scheme itself has been conducted with the goal of widening the viewing angle combinations.
