Planes always needs runway? – Pretty old school

If someone ask me what is the main difference between air plane and helicopter, my brain will suddenly come up with a line that, plane will need a pace and run-way to take off and landing where as helicopter doesn’t need the same generally. But, let's change this wrong notion of air plane because humans have such fighter planes which doesn’t need a run-way and take off with the pace. These planes can keep themselves steal in air and act like helicopter as far as takeoff and landing is concerned.

There nothing like so unimaginable fundamental behind this superb show. Simple keeping in mind that when Space shuttle can take off from the earth without any runway why can’t planes too. This may strike you with the idea that plane can be in air with help of thrust which is vertically opposite to the gravitational force. Many countries have made this piece successfully. Talking about one of most powerful country in this area, The United States, they are going to replace their out dated planes with this type of fighter planes. U.S. and Allies countries have funded for the design and manufacturing of this type of planes called F-35. Lockheed martin is a lead of this project. Seeing to the peculiarity these planes will be like great advancements for the Naval force of country where in warships, a long run away is not expected. F-35 are single seated, single engine plane. F-35 has different models with different specialty and cost factors. It is experimented and founded that F-35 will be at least three times more powerful than the existing normal fighter crafts that too at the same cost. 

These types of planes have capacity to hover in the air also. It can be shifted to left and right being steal at zero pace. There are many other species of VOTL planes like Yak, Harrier, Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey and a long list. The image no. 2 presented here to understand the mechanism is of YAK-38 aircraft designed by Soviet Union. So it is very much understood that the throttle given at the downwards from the nozzle generates force against gravity which keeps this object up flying in air without a pace. Newton's law is very well implemented here. Our thrust for the technology innovation and invention is never going to get decelerated.

Window 8: Experience the new computing from Microsoft after Windows 1995

If you would have experienced the freshness of “Windows 1995”, it was very mesmerizing feeling at the first. It was complete change of User Interface from OS giant Microsoft. Computing was like re-defined into faster and ready-to-swallow way. Now you don’t have to wait much if you dint experienced it at that time, as Microsoft has again redefined the look ‘n’ feel interface of Windows OS and this time it is known as “Windows 8”. You might have read previous article regarding Lumia, so here by Microsoft is bringing similar type of Operating system for Computers aside from Mobile, needless to say that this was the primary idea.

The innovation and new perception which companies like Apple has given to the consumers, has forced every Giants to re-think on their interfaces and way of looking to the Computing. As a result, Microsoft, who was never ever, had anything for consumer with touch screen technology, are about to launch a complete Touch-screen Operating system for the Desktop computing. Talking about the GUI, this time you will get rid of the damn mouse even though you are Microsoft user, since its touch screen era. If you look to the above image, the screen you look is your so called Desktop screen which is divided into rectangular blocks or say “Colorful tiles”. Heart of OS that is the start menu will be no more available instead; all the applications will be visible in the tab under “Apps” tab. Beauty of this interface is the dynamically working of this tiles. These tiles can be seen as a monitoring window for each active app. Like you will be continuously updated with the application say for example outlook tile will be updated with new mails and weather tile will show atmospheric updates. Concept of task manager and explorer remain same but in fact we would not be able to judge this before experiencing the real time hands on over it. Most amazing thing what I found in this launch of Microsoft is the dual-mode usage. Getting clearer, I would say, this will be use as the Laptop as well as the Tablet independently. This feature might attract many user and can this is one of the salient features which may effectively dump Apple’s increasing dominance on tablet market this time.

None of the Giants are going to set themselves back in this cut-throat competition of innovation and grabbing more market share to their bucket. As end user we will always cherish this type of race by getting amazing things for our use and easing our day to day lives. 

Car to Car communication will save your life

Seeing to last couple of years, automobile industry is very aggressive for technology advancement. Companies like Mercedes, General Motors, Volvo, and quite many has equipped their cars to give more safe drive for their consumers. Now car to car communication is taking the pace in the mind of researchers.

Department of transportation seems very lucrative for promoting this research especially car to car communication. They have provided 14.9 million dollars to University of Michigan. Many Expensive cars come with the sensors and cameras. This car is able to sense the cars which may intercept the road and accordingly slow down. This keep checks on the degree of view which user cannot see even. So in case if car is losing its lane discipline or going towards pavement car will slow down and give necessary warning. When this technology will reach to basic or medium expensive cars then it is assumed that 75% to 80% crash will be reduces because of it. For information if we see data of US where we the traffic management is pretty good, the toll of accidental deaths on road reached to above 36000 in year 2011. Many automakers are joining hands with the University for this Research. Almost 65 cars will be equipped with the sensors and radio. This will connect to the concerned object and establish a connection to exchange the necessary data. These machines can communicate between themselves and act smartly which we can call artificial Intelligence.

As we have gone through in previous articles before, Google has been trying to apply cent percent artificial intelligence and making a self driven car. This project is going to take time but the above technology we discuss will be soon in almost every normal car too. Humans are making now planes without pilots so conclusion is only one. We are never ever stoppable as far as technology enhancements are concerned.

Most awaited launch this year: iPad3: Get the first looks and leaks

Any launch of Apple is always so awaited but the tech savvy people. That is none another than a next generation tablet that is the ‘Baap’ of iPad2, “The iPad3”. There are many speculations in the market regarding the design and features embedded in the iPad3. As this product is in the final stages of manufacturing it is expected that it will be soon in the hands of people. 

Seeing to the speculated image if iPad3, it seems like Apple will again flatter its fans by the bigger screen for better look and feel experience. It looks like approximately 9.7 inches of panel and hopefully user will have 2048 by 1536 retina display (Retina display can be seen like Apple had visuals smoother. Want to know more?). Apple has diversified bit in the business process as it confirmed rumor that Sharp is going to supply its display. There are many interesting corporate stories too regarding this. Besides this when we talk about over all body, expected thickness is around 10mm which was 9mm for iPad2. The rumors prevailing in the market, that it can have larger battery and more sleek board. Talking about the processor, it very much of expected that it will have Quad-Core or A6 processor and there may be two versions of iPad3, one which will support Wi-Fi only and another which will have 3G/LTE model. Moreover talking about camera sensors, it looks like it’s bigger and better. Company will cop up with demand, by initial supply of 4 million iPad3 which was 3.5 million iPad2 and good lot of back order also following that. Total iPad2 sales for 2011 were very surprising that was over 25millions keep 90% hold on the tablet market. That’s what we call as “First-Mover’s Advantage”. 

Apple is ever unstoppable at innovation and fan group will go on increasing. It would be challenging again for the companies like Samsung and HP who are suppose to be the high-end competitors as far as Tablet and Mobile phone market is concerned.

Wireless Charging: Charging through air will be soon in market

Oh!!! What the crap. I don’t want the jungle of wire lying down on my table. So humans who are never stoppable in innovation have solution for me. Now I won’t need damn wires to pass the electricity to my appliances. Some companies are trying to make products which will able to charge the appliances with help of air rather than wires.

WiTricity, is ready to launch a black pad which will charge electronic appliances. This was researched by MIT and company will be able to implement it in real time appliances charging. This is called as simple “Inductive Wireless Charging”. These are basically black pads type which does all the things. Reading this it obvious that you will have a question that how it work on high level view. Let see the same. The black pad is nothing but it contains a coil which generates magnetic field. This charged up magnetic field when comes in the contact of any other electronic enabled device, charge the coil on the other side. 

Needless to say that as much as there will be more distance, the frequency of energy reaches to the appliance will be decreased and it would be preferable to keep the devices as near as you can to be more efficient. Simply, bigger the coil more range it have. In coming year or a two it is also expected that we will have same time of charging points to charge the cars. Just parking car on that surface will charge the battery in the car.We will keep moving ahead as far as innovations and inventions are concerned. We can expect such gift from the Science and Technology since we are unstoppable on that. 

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.

Technology for well being: Kenya got mobile app for health care

Kenya, country where humans needs to fight keeping away themselves from rapidly spreading diseases like Malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and many more, are back with optimal use of technology to get rapid improvement in the Human Development Index.  Stephen Kyalo and Keziah Mumo are two innovators for the Health care mobile application. This application was promoted by European Capitalist with around $ 100,000.

Report says, Kenya has total population of 41 million and to serve them and keep them healthy there are only 7 thousand doctors. Another figure which was appealing was, 20 million people in Kenya use cell phone. Thus it was good idea of Stephen and Keziah to launch a health care application. Till now, there are 26500 downloads and almost 15000 are active user of this application. Download rate is increasing approximately by 5000 per week at least. This application bridges the gap between patient and doctor. It charges 2 cents for minute of the consultation which is not very costly for financially challenged people in Kenya. But again this is not charged by the developers but by the telecom service provider Safaricom. Shimba technologies the developers of application will be start fetching the revenue by either premium services or from the doctors up to some extent. Doctors can be charged $ 10 for getting user base of this application.

At the end this is win-win-win situation for Kenyans, Doctors and Telecom as well as developer companies. Kenya being an African country, is struggling to improve health indices and innovations like this will surely help government also for betterment of people.
