Nokia Lumia Series: Good attempt to fight over increasing Apple iPhone domination

Stephen Elop, first Non-Finn to become CEO of the company being a Canadian expert over the analysis of mobile phone market. He has deeply studied the market of mobile, round the globe. He accepted that Apple recorded fastest ever influence of any company in world market. Nokia was the company which has highly suffered because of competition given by trendsetter Apple by launching amazing piece called as iPhone. Under the leadership of Stephen Nokia launched Lumia series which is re-gaining Nokia share in mobile market. The iPhone have dominated the mobile market but Nokia has good hopes on this series.
Besides Nokia, Windows have also had good come back in mobile market since Apple and Google have shown tough times for Windows to stay in. IOS and Android have grabbed huge share of market and Windows too will take breath, for a break it is getting via Nokia Lumia. But what makes Lumia so appealing that it is competing iPhone. Let have a look, below is the comparison between iPhone and Lumia 900.
Lumia is seems very catchy to the consumers eyes and is expected to fetch high revenues for Nokia, round the globe. This is first Windows phone running on 4G network for Microsoft. Lumia 800 is available in the market but Lumia 900 is still on its way to market. It will be placed very soon with fixed price tag. Telecom companies are pressurizing Nokia to reduce prices of this series. So we can expect Lumia in much cheaper price than the iPhone.

Google means “To Solve Problem”: Invented self driven car

Human Innovation will always be unstoppable. Larry and Sergey always had an intention to solve the problem with the help of technology. They came up with amazing concept of search engine with at most efficiency which helped world to grow in each and every field with greater speed. Analyzing the major current challenges faced by humans, they founded was the hardships of conveyance in daily schedule. According to report it is said that on an average almost 40 minutes of daily working day is wasted in the conveyance and if they thought that if it can be utilized in some other way they can increase the productivity of busy human beings in day to day’s life.

Google has been working on the undercover research project ‘Autonomous vehicle’. This news gone public when Google tested their car on public roads for around 140,000 miles. Thrun and Urmson explained in the conference how we can have self driven robotic car on roads soon. They released the High level Specs of this research, Video of live on-road successful testing as well as the videos of on board computer driving this car. They explained being more technical at high level view, how car got artificial intelligence be driven itself on road. Many software and hardware are being used behind this successful research. Toyota cars which have tied up with Google for this research is equipped with Radar sensors, Video cameras, Laser range finder as well as detailed map system which can be more perfect compared to the GPS system. This equipment can identify each and everything like vehicles, signals, pedestrians, road blockages, sharp turns, as well as the surface of the road and manage driving by them. There have been many challenges except to make the drive completely safe. Say for example when you are on cross road, if you are driving the car manually, you can apply some smart moves like if some car is coming from  your left road but you can speed up and get crossed the way that, another car don’t need to break, to let you pass. To pour such artificial intelligence is challenges faced by the designers, they added in conference.

Moreover Google is too optimistic in terms of saving many lives. It is founded that around 1.2 million people die because of road accident in all over the world. This is because of human mistakes which can be avoided with help of technology. Google says if this technology works well, it can bring this figure to almost half. This may also promote the sharing of car since this technology works as a driver for you in a car. It is different thing that once Google self driven car has also suffered a major accident but at last founded the third party was the culprit and not automatic car. We we waiting to see this amazing piece of invention on the roads soon. Now you can take calls, read newspapers, prepare days plans, have nice hot coffee or many other amazing thing in car without giving attention to the road and driving. Isn't that amazing?
This Video may help us to understand in more better way the working of Amazing Google Self Driven car.

Some Amazing Technology Inventions of 2011: Medical Mirror


This proves that we (Humans) are not going to stop at any level. It was time when in old time doctors or Hakims use to check the heart beat by holding the wrist and looking watch for around 30 seconds long. Then we got mercury tool which were more accurate in terms of measuring the blood pressure or the heart beats. But that was not enough. Medical Mirror is invented in MIT by Ming-Zher, Daniel, and Rosalind. It also called as Cardio-Cam, The only think you need to do is stand in front of mirror and you will get you heart rate. This idea is basically taken forward for making this basic health tool more accessible for common man.
Now we will see how mirror will get you heart rate for you. It is found that when blood is flowing over your face, your face light reflection changes. The reason is when amount of blood flows from face, the light that get reflected from the face reduces because the good amount of light get absorbed so based on the amount of light that is reflected from your face is the key to identify the heart beat rate. It may feel crazy after hearing this but it fact. So behind the mirror there is normal Web-Cam which is capturing these light reflections and after necessary processing, it projects the pulse rate on the mirror itself. Being the tools used for this is not so expensive so plus point for this Cardio-Cam is, it will reachable to a normal people also. Beauty of this Mirror is, it works fine even when the target is not steady or there are multiple targets all together.  In normal cases, Mirror accuracy fluctuates merely by 5% from the authenticated medical machines for measuring the same.
Inventors still expect to integrate many others health indicators in the same, which will of course increase the utility of this technology. Besides the health areas, inventors are looking forward to use this technology in many areas also like gaming and other real time applications.
