Introduction to Digital Image Processing
Digital image processing is a technology that allows people to manipulate and analyze data in the digital images. A digital image is a picture which is divided into a grid of pixels (picture elements) in which each pixel is defined by three numbers. The first two numbers give X and Y coordinates of the pixel, and the third one gives the intensity value. The X and Y coordinates of each pixel relate it to the actual location on the CCD (sensor) of the photo element. The intensity is a measure of the amount of light collected by that photo element.
Digital images can be classified according to the number and nature of those samples:
1.Binary (bi-level) images.
4.False-color images or Pseudo-color images.
A binary image is a digital image that has only two possible values for each pixel either Zero (0) or One (1). The binary image is usually stored in memory as a bitmap that is a packed array of bits.
Grayscale image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. This sort of images composed of shades of gray varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest.
Grayscale images intended for visual display are typically stored with 8 bits per sample, which allows 256 intensities.
A color image includes color information for each pixel. They provide three samples RGB for each pixel.
A false-color image is a color image derived from a grayscale one by mapping each pixel value to a color according to a table or function.


Ever since I set up my Davis Vantage Vue weather station, I’ve used my Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 to get weather data from my console, into the computer, and out to the Internet. This weekend I decided to see if I could dust off my old 12” PowerBook G4 and use it for the same purpose.
To complicate matters, I had recently removed OS X 10.4 and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on the PowerBook in an ill-fated attempt to give it new life. The PowerBook was a great computer in its time but, these days, PowerPC is a dying, if not already dead, architecture. Flash 10? Not on PowerPC. Google Chrome? Nope.
On the Mini, which ran Windows 7 Starter, I used WUHU for data acquisition and upload. That program worked well, but obviously an x86 PC app just would not do the trick on Linux or a PowerPC. Some searching led me to wview which worked on Linux and was capable of running on something like a NSLU2 or plug computer. It would either be perfect or a perfect mirage.
And then there was the issue of my USB-to-Serial adapter, for connecting the computer to the weather station console. Who knew if that would work?
So, there I was with a dead architecture, the wrong OS, a questionable USB adapter and… well, let’s just say I wasn’t very hopeful.
But… it worked! Much to my surprise, I was able to get data from my weather station, using wview, through the USB adapter, into the PowerBook, and out to the world. Here’s how I did it:
- Installed Ubuntu 10.10 for PowerPC.
- Tested the IOgear GUC232A USB-to-Serial Adapter and it worked right out of the box. USB Serial support registered for pl2303 usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303 pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
- Followed wview Debian Quick Start Guide. Downloaded and executed
wview-install-debian, encountered first problem: In file included from ../htmlgenerator/htmlStates.c:36: ./glchart.h:28: fatal error: gd.h: No such file or directory
apt-get install libgd2-noxpm-dev
wview-install-debianagain, encountered second problem: http.h: error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
- Executed wview-install-debian again; encountered problem; re-ran as
- From here out, I followed the wview user manual for configuration.
It’s nice to have brought life back to disused computer; it’s nice to have my Mini back!
P.S. Not having tried wview on OS X, I can’t compare the experience or difficulty.

I'm seeing increasing interest from many companies in using simulation environments with test automation systems to accelerate the testing process. Specifically, putting Wind River Test Management together with Wind River Simics is getting creative juices flowing in industry thought leaders.
Why? Well, development teams have started to realize the benefits of simulation systems for speeding and validating system and software design, and for accelerating software development and debug in advance of hardware availabilty. And even when hardware is available, systems like Simics provide tremendous access and control to speed analysis and diagnsotics.
Testing teams are also now starting to see the benefits of simulation if they can bring it into an automated environment like Wind River Test Management. One obvious benefit is the ability to start development and validation of test cases much earlier in the development cycle. Perhaps more important though is the ability to use simulators to do regression testing within Agile and continuous integration methods.
During these iterative development processes, developers need an automated environment to re-run their unit tests and module tests within a regression test process. This is dramatically easier by capturing these tests within a test management system that can run this over and over again as features are added or software is refactored. Meanwhile testers can support system integration and start running their tests on the simulation environment rather than waiting till the target device is available, getting valueable feedback earlier. Further, test groups find they can be even more flexible even late in the cycle by using both simulators and physical systems to distribute their heavy testing loads.
Wind River Test Management and its integrated Virtual Lab Managers allows testers to easily capture tests and manage the cycle, while transparently utilizing simulators along side physical boards in the system test lab. Stay tuned for more on this subject in coming weeks.
Meanwhile, if you live in the Dallas Texas area, we are holding a live seminar on this subject on Sept 14, 2010. You can register for this seminar by clicking here.
At this complimentary half-day seminar we will show how utilizing an agile and iterative development methodology across both hardware and software allows system integration and system testing to become an integral part of the product development cycle, instead of something rushed through at the end. This can significantly reduce your risks and costs, decrease your overall time-to-market, and increase your product quality.
- Perform code coverage on production software without need of source code instrumentation
- Inject system and hardware faults to test software robustness
- Identify which set of tests to rerun based on target software changes
- Find bugs quickly by executing the system in reverse and saving/reloading the exact system state that caused the bug
- Automate the creation and management of many different target hardware configurations
- Streamline your system integration and testing process and significantly improve your product development life cycle
Please drop me an email at email@example.com if you have immediate interest in learning more about this subject.

What is the Apple iPad?
To put it simply (and crudely!) the Apple iPad is a touchscreen Tablet computer that sits somewhere between a Smartphone and a Netbook computer. The iPad includes some of the advantages of each without fully replacing either.
To put it another way, the iPad is gorgeous eye candy and will create a stir wherever you take it. It is very compact and portable, but large enough to surf the internet or watch movies comfortably. It will run happily for up to 10 hours without a recharge, and benefits from all the Apps that are already available for the iPhone. Although there are other companies making tablets, the iPad will probably be hailed as the start of a new genre of computers in the same way that the iPhone redefined mobile phones.
iPads are already being put to a wide variety of business uses, from Speakers and Trainers displaying their notes, Photographers viewing photo albums with clients, and Lawyers accessing legal documents on the move, but undoubtedly the most popular use is mobile internet access.
But the news is not all good. There are some omissions in the technical specs that have caused concern. Whilst considering what the iPad could do for your business, you also need to be aware of what it doesn’t do quite so well. Lets take a closer look.
- A bright, crystal clear touchscreen, ideal for comfortable viewing of web pages, photos, videos and other documents
Size of screen is 9.7inch and resolution of 1024×768 pixels
Compares to 3.5-inch, 480×320 pixels touchscreen on original iPhone, and 3.5-inch 960×640 pixels touchscreen on the new iPhone 4.0
- Two versions are available : Wifi only and 3G enabled (3G enabled version has black bar at top of rear casing for the antenna)
Wifi is the kind of wireless network you might find in a cafe or have at home, whilst 3G is the type of wireless network that mobile phones use
The 3G version of the iPad can use both types of network, greatly increasing the chances of reliable internet access on the move
The 3G version is usually sold alongside a data contract from a suitable mobile network provider
- Solid State drive for storage – No mechanical parts
Solid State technology is similar to that used in memory cards for digital cameras etc
They use less power, produce less heat, make no noise and are typically more reliable than normal hard disk drives
iPad comes in a choice of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. This cannot be [easily] upgraded so choose the best you can afford at time of purchase
- Low power consumption means good battery life (Up to 10 hours). Faster at loading applications, games and websites than iPhone
Powered by 1Ghz Apple A4 (ARM based) processor
- Weighs 0.73kg (1.6lbs), and is 243mm x 190mm x 13.4mm in size
- External connections include Apples 30pin connector (for docking with external devices), 3.5mm headphone jack (standard headphone socket), Volume controls, Screen rotation lock switch
- Download books from a list of tens of thousands of titles on iBookStore including guidebooks and countless iPhone and iPad apps
Also compatible with Amazon and Kobo book stores using Amazon Kindle app and Kobo eBook app
- Bluetooth support as standard, supporting devices like an external Bluetooth Keyboards
- Almost instant start-up time compared to Windows Netbooks and other PC’s
- Very Quiet
- The iPad cannot be used to make phone calls over the 3G mobile network. It is possible to use a VOIP application to make voice calls over the internet, for example Skype
- Only 3G-enabled model has Assisted GPS built in for location based services and maps
Location based services are possible on Wifi only model, but may be slower or less accurate
- There are no USB sockets. Everything must be done wirelessly, ie printing
- No integrated camera
This could be an issue for some Skype users and those wishing to keep video diaries, but could be an advantage for those who work in sensitive or secure locations, such as courtrooms
- Multitasking originally omitted, but now included with iPhone OS4 update
Multitasking allows you to use several applications at once, like listening to music whilst checking emails
- Storage not expandable beyond what is included. There are no slots for multimedia cards
- No Adobe Flash option for browsing websites – and unlikely to be added in the future
Some websites utilise Adobe Flash and will display as blank boxes instead
- Might feel conspicuous whilst travelling – consider your security if using abroad
- Some have reported tired eyes after extensive use, for example, when reading books
I would recommend an extended trial if this is your intention
- There are no dedicated TV / Projector connections. To connect to an external display device requires the use of an additional cable plugged into the 30 pin connector
- Apple are keeping a tight grip on what the iPad can and can’t do, but this in turn ensures that it is easy to use right out of the box
- If you regret buying the Wifi only version, take a look at the Mifi from Three.co.uk
This little gadget converts a 3G mobile network into a Wifi network and can be used with the Wifi-only version of the iPad

International Journal of Industrial Chemistry 2013, 4:5 doi:10.1186/2228-5547-4-5Published: 16 January 2013
The main purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear model of a batch adsorption and to evaluate the model's capability in the prediction of experimental adsorption data. Additionally, results of the nonlinear model were compared with data of pseudo first- and second-order models. Experimental data were extracted from the adsorption of zinc ions using calcium alginate beads prepared via electrospray method. In order to study the effects of biosorbent porosity and the initial concentration of the zinc solution on adsorption kinetics, calcium alginate beads were prepared with two different porosities and zinc concentrations.
The results revealed that the nonlinear model offers a much more accurate prediction compared with other models as the average root mean square deviation of the nonlinear model was calculated to be only 2.66%, which was smaller at least four times than that of others. Furthermore, the nonlinear model showed that diffusive transport through beads was limited by pore diffusion.
The nonlinear model provided a good fit to the experimental data as the calculated equilibrium adsorptions were shown to be in good agreement with their experimental counterparts.


Lincolnshire-based supplier of flexible warehouse solutions, OW Robotics, is now supplying the F4 automated forklift to businesses seeking to increase flexible automation in the warehouse.
The F4 is an automated robot that is designed to move palletised stock in the warehouse. It can work alongside warehouse operatives, existing materials handling equipment and pallet racking – for a hybrid approach to order picking and packing.
It provides a cost-effective solution for warehouse operatives looking to boost order fulfillment, reduce forklift related accidents and running costs, and free-up investment in staff for value-added roles.
The F4, which is manufactured by OW Robotics’ partner, Hikrobot, works in harmony with OW Robotics’ Q3 and Q7 robots as part of an integrated A-to-B solution. It has a customisable lift height of 1.8m and can run for eight hours before it automatically charges, meaning it can be effectively fulfilling movements around the clock to meet operational demand.
Head of Robotics at OW Robotics, Joe Daft, believes the F4 is the next step for warehouse operators looking to automate large parts of their warehouse operation, he said; “Right now, businesses are faced with some really tough challenges to be able to meet and increase their order fulfillment. According to recent reports, the UK is facing its worst labour shortage since 1997, this includes warehouse staff. It’s at a time when customers expect quick, easy online ordering and demand fast delivery. Without a high level of automation, it’s a real challenge to meet these expectations.
“That’s why many businesses we are working with and having conversations with are automating key processes in the warehouse. The F4 automated forklift is naturally the next step to complement A-to-B warehouse robotics like our Q3 and Q7 models which are great at moving products around the warehouse.
“As it has been designed from the ground up to be automated, it uses the same technology as other robots. It has safety measures integrated to reduce forklift related incidents, including SLAM based navigation technology that can adapt to the changing environment and gives millimetre precision accuracy. It runs at 1.2m/s and the model can be easily integrated into an existing robotics solution if a business needs to add more robots to increase fulfillment.
“Businesses are reviewing their warehouse operations following the effect of the pandemic and driving down costs while increasing order throughput is the ultimate goal. Automation is going to be key to that, and I expect we will see more warehouses adopt technology, like the F4, in the next few years.”
OW Robotics supplies automated warehouse robotics solutions to businesses operating in retail, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, wholesaling and in the building supplies industry.
For more information about OW Robotics’ F4 automated forklift, or to arrange a demonstration of the model and its range at the purpose-built demonstration centre, please visit: https://www.owrobotics.co.uk/.

|Title||16S rRNA gene sequencing on a benchtop sequencer: accuracy for identification of clinically important bacteria.|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2017|
|Authors||Watts GS, Youens-Clark K, Slepian MJ, Wolk DM, Oshiro MM, Metzger GS, Dhingra D, Cranmer LD, Hurwitz BL|

AIMS: Test the choice of 16S rRNA gene amplicon and data analysis method on the accuracy of identification of clinically important bacteria utilizing a benchtop sequencer.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Nine 16S rRNA amplicons were tested on an Ion Torrent PGM to identify 41 strains of clinical importance. The V1-V2 region identified 40 of 41 isolates to the species level. Three data analysis methods were tested, finding that the Ribosomal Database Project's SequenceMatch outperformed BLAST and the Ion Reporter Metagenomics analysis pipeline. Lastly, 16S rRNA gene sequencing mixtures of four species through a six log range of dilution showed species were identifiable even when present as 0. 1% of the mixture.
CONCLUSIONS: Sequencing the V1-V2 16S rRNA gene region, made possible by the increased read length Ion Torrent PGM sequencer's 400 base pair chemistry, may be a better choice over other commonly used regions for identifying clinically important bacteria. In addition, the SequenceMatch algorithm, freely available from the Ribosomal Database Project, is a good choice for matching filtered reads to organisms. Lastly, 16S rRNA gene sequencing's sensitivity to the presence of a bacterial species at 0.1% of a mixture, suggests it has sufficient sensitivity for samples in which important bacteria may be rare.
SIGNIFICANCE: We have validated 16S rRNA gene sequencing on a benchtop sequencer including simple mixtures of organisms; however, our results highlight deficits for clinical application in place of current identification methods. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

One of the challenges to understanding large systems biology datasets is the ability to combine the results from orthogonal approaches and integrate targeted functional information into a comprehensive model. In addition, a major obstacle in structural biology is that many protein assemblies resist characterization by traditional approaches such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, or high resolution EM. Integrative structure determination is a valuable approach to overcoming the limitations of individual approaches, by leveraging experimental data from several orthogonal sources. We leverage data provided by HARC researchers and collaborators to build structural and network models that provide mechanistic insights into how HIV counteracts restriction pathways and hijacks host cellular pathways. Specifically, we: provide essential statistical and quantitative analysis of proteomic datasets, apply tools for network, pathway, and functional analysis of multidimensional proteomic datasets, and develop and apply an effective pipeline for integrative structure determination of HIV-human protein complexes.


Volusia County Space Startup Modularity Space, Inc. to Manufacture Fully Reusable Modular Satellite Systems for Payload Hosting On-Orbit
DAYTONA BEACH, FL. — Modularity Space, Inc. (Modularity Space), a satellite design and manufacturing startup company, announced today that it aspires to do for the satellite industry what Elon Musk and SpaceX have done for launch vehicles — make them sustainable and low cost.
“For decades, the satellite manufacturing industry has stayed largely the same,” said Modularity Space’s CEO Scott Weintraub. “It’s time for the satellite industry to adapt. Advancement doesn’t always mean charging further in one direction, sometimes it means changing course.”

*This was my undergraduate final year project.
A hybrid U-shaped-microbend fiber optic evanescent wave sensor was developed by combining two types of bending structures on the optical communication single mode optical fiber (SMF28). To study the effect optical microbending on the output power, corrugated plates consisted of cylindrical structured surface with various distance between the glass rods of 6 cm, 12 cm and 18 cm were constructed. The macrobending effect was introduced by bending the SMF into two shapes, namely U-shaped and Sshaped. The bare SMF with various bending designs were immersed into numerous water sources from Sg. Simin, Sg. Batang Benar and Sg. Klang. The output demonstrated that Sg. Simin was the most polluted river, followed by Sg. Klang and Sg. Batang Benar using U-shaped microbend SMF with distance between glass rod of 6cm and 1310 nm laser source. This result showed an excellent agreement with water quality index (WQI) data released by the Department of Environment (DOE), Malaysia. Maximum optical output power was obtained by using Sg. Simin’s water sample due to better light absorption from the evanescent waves by the pollutant particles, that avoided light leakage in comparison with less polluted water sources. The optimum sensing performance was successfully resulted by using U-shaped SMF due to its durability and uniform evanescent waves radiated from the cladding. In conclusion, the hybrid U-shaped-microbend SMF sensor based on evanescent waves propagation portrays an excellent potential to detect water pollution by monitoring the presence of pollutants around the fiber.

Despite some speculation that Beyonce‘s halftime show might have blown out the power at the Superdome last Sunday, the stadium’s power company said Friday  that a device meant to protect the power supply to the arena had failed during the Super Bowl .
Officials from Entergy New Orleans, the company that installed the device (called a relay), said it was put in to protect the Superdome from a cable failure between the company’s incoming power line and the lines that run into the stadium.
The faulty device, which performed without incident during other events at the Superdome, has been removed, according to the officials. Replacement equipment will be installed.
The failure of the relay cut out the lights in about half of the Superdome for 34 minutes during the Super Bowl on Sunday, and the power company spent this week trying to find the root of the problem.


THERMAL BODY TEMPERATURE
In times of increased mobility, infections do not stay on national borders either. Corona, ebola, SARS or swine flu: Nobody wants to imagine the consequences of an epidemic or a pandemic. Therefore, it is in the public health interest to identify people at high risk early. Operators of heavily used facilities such as airports, shopping malls or stadiums bear a special responsibility for disease prevention.
An important indicator for infection is an increase in body temperature (compared to other people in the immediate environment), commonly known as fever. Thermography is an ideal method for scanning not only individuals, but also a large stream of people. To do this, the temperature in the inner corner of the eye is measured, and if it deviates, an alarm is triggered. This allows individuals with increased body temperature to be identified quickly and reliably and isolated for more precise testing.

Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra specs and Price in UAE Dubai
Samsung announced three flagship phones for 2020. Here’s how they’re different from last year’s Galaxy S10 phones.
The Galaxy S20 is here: Samsung has officially launched its new Galaxy S20 series. The latest generation includes the three models Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus and – the new top model – Galaxy S20 Ultra. We already had the smartphones in hand and tell you what they have to offer.
Samsung Galaxy S20 in hands-on
Finally, the new Samsung phones are official. The South Korean manufacturer today presented the new Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra in San Francisco. The new Galaxy phones are called “20” for the simple reason that they will be launched this year. From now on, Samsung wants to continue this pattern with future models. The next Galaxy of the S series will be called S21 in 2021, and so on. Samsung has also introduced a new foldable device – the Galaxy Z Flip.
In Hands-On we took a closer look at what exactly the devices have to offer and whether the new Galaxy S20 Ultra is really “ultra”. First, we give you an overview of the new S20 trio in the table.
Samsung’s new top model: The Galaxy S20 Ultra
“Ultra” is the new “plus”: Samsung is no longer opting for a cheaper model with an “e” addition this year, but is going in the other direction. The star among the new models is now the Galaxy S20 Ultra – the strongest, price of phones AED 3000 to 4500 AED, the most expensive cell phone from the S20 trio.
With a diagonal of 6.9 inches, the display is truly “ultra” large. One-handed operation is difficult here, as is transportation in your pocket. You can tell immediately that the S20 Ultra is not a lightweight at 220 grams when you hold it in your hand. However, the processing is flawless. The transitions from the display to the back of the glass are pleasantly rounded. Only the pre-attached protective film scratches something in the hands-on. According to Samsung, this can simply be removed.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Quad camera with 108 megapixels
The rectangular camera module on the back of the S20 Ultra can neither be overlooked nor “felt”. It clearly protrudes from the housing and contains four sensors. Among them is a 108-megapixel main sensor for the first time. In the standard setting, this snaps a 12-megapixel photo because the software combines nine pixels into one. This technique is called “nona binning” and is intended to ensure that the photo is particularly good and bright, especially in dim light. As a result, a pixel with 2.4 µm is significantly larger than a normal pixel (1.8 µm). The advantage: more light can fall on it, which improves the image quality – at least in theory. We could only try this in daylight in hands-on, which looks promising. We are very excited to see what comes out in our twilight test.
If you want, you can switch to 108 megapixels in the camera settings and take ultra-high-resolution photos (with 12,032 x 9,024 pixels). This is particularly useful if the lighting conditions are very good and you want to capture as many details as possible or if you want to print out the motif in oversize. To save storage space and to achieve low-noise results, the standard setting is recommended.
The camera setup also includes a sensor for ultra-wide-angle shots, a time-of-flight sensor for depth-of-field information for portrait shots, and a telephoto sensor that enables an optical quadruple zoom. Since the telephoto sensor is located further inside the housing, a prism directs the light onto it. A tenfold hybrid zoom is possible with digital help; motifs can be enlarged up to 100 times purely digitally. The result is then no longer lossless compared to the optical zoom.
The front camera of the S20 Ultra snaps with 40 megapixels, here too the selfie has an actual resolution of 10 megapixels due to the combination of four pixels. In the first check, it becomes sharp and detailed.
With the new S20 trio, Samsung has said goodbye to the edge design of its predecessors. All three new models now have a slightly rounded OLED display. The hole for the front camera is smaller compared to the Galaxy S10 Plus (in the test) and sits not in the side but in the middle.
The displays now optionally offer a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. So far, this has only been used in gaming smartphones such as the Asus ROG Phone II (in the test) or Apple’s iPad Pro (in the test). This makes the display particularly soft, which is noticeable, for example, when animations or when scrolling on websites. Since a higher refresh rate also consumes noticeably more power, conventional 60 Hertz is activated as standard. The 120 Hertz can also not be activated in the full WQHD-Plus resolution, but only in the standard Full HD-Plus resolution.
The displays of the new S20 and S20 Plus are 6.2 and 6.7 inches, respectively, compared to their predecessors – the Galaxy S10 with 6.1 inches and the Galaxy S10 Plus with 6.5 inches – slightly larger.
Samsung Galaxy S20 (Plus) vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra: Different camera, same features
The camera setup of the two “smaller” Galaxy S20 models consists of a 12-megapixel main sensor, the same ultra-wide-angle sensor that is also installed in the S20 Ultra, and a telephoto sensor for a triple hybrid zoom. Only the Plus model has a sensor for depth of field information.
However, some new features are not only reserved for the Ultra model, but they are also onboard the S20 and S20 Plus. So all three Galaxy phones can now shoot 8K videos at 24 frames per second. The resolution is 16 times higher than with Full HD videos. But this is only really relevant if users play the videos on an 8K monitor. That being said, there is also the option of taking a 33-megapixel photo from the video that has already been shot.
In addition, there is a new model in the camera menu called “Single Take”. When triggered once, all lenses take up to 10 seconds. After a processing time of around 15 seconds, the software suggests the best selection. That can be up to 10 photos and 4 videos, even with music. We think A cool, new feature – and the whole thing works with the front camera.
Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra: battery and performance
The necessary performance is ensured in all three new Galaxy S models by the new Exynos 990 processor from Samsung, which clocks at up to 2.73 GHz and is said to offer a higher reading and writing speed compared to its predecessors. The 5G modem is installed separately. The S20 and S20 Plus are available as 4G or 5G versions; the S20 Ultra will only be available as a 5G version in this country.
In the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the processor is supported by extremely generous 12 or 16 GB of RAM. The S20 and S20 Plus are still a proud 8 or 12 GB of RAM. There is also plenty of internal storage space. All models offer 128 GB internally, the Plus and Ultra are also available with 512 GB. If this should somehow become scarce, the storage space can be expanded by 1 TB via a microSD card.
The battery capacity of the Galaxy S20 Ultra is 5,000 mAh – but this will also be necessary with the giant display. The S20 Ultra can theoretically charge up to 45 watts, but the power adapter supplied by Samsung only supports 25 watts. If you want to charge faster, you have to buy the corresponding power supply. Even with the 25-watt power supply, the charging time should be less than one and a half hours.
There is a 4,000 mAh battery in the S20, and the capacity in the S20 Plus is 4,500 mAh. Wireless charging supports all-new S20 models, now faster with up to 15 watts. And they can also be used as a Qi charging station – more recently with a slightly larger area.

Overtone vs Harmonic
Overtone and harmonic are two topics discussed under stationary waves in wave mechanics. These two topics play a vital role in fields such as acoustics, Audio engineering and even mechanical engineering. It is very important to have a proper understanding in these concepts in order to excel in such fields. In this article, we are going to discuss what overtone and harmonic are, their similarities, the definitions of overtone and harmonic, and finally the differences between overtone and harmonic.
What is Harmonic?
To understand the concept of harmonic properly, one must first understand the concepts of standing waves and fundamental frequency. Imagine two identical waves travelling in opposite directions; when these two waves meet, (superimpose), the result is called a standing wave. The equation of a wave travelling in the +x direction is y = A sin (ωt – kx), and the equation of a similar wave traveling in the –x direction is y = A sin (ωt + kx). By the principle of superposition, the resultant waveform from overlapping of these two is y = 2A sin (kx) cos (ωt). This is the equation of a standing wave. x being the distance from the origin for a given x value the 2A sin (kx) becomes a constant. Sin (kx) varies between -1 and +1. Therefore, the maximum amplitude of the system is 2A. The fundamental frequency is a property of the system. At the fundamental frequency, the two ends of the systems are not oscillating, and they are known as nodes. The center of the system is oscillating with the maximum amplitude, and it is known as the antinode. A harmonic is any of the integer multiplications of the fundamental frequency. The fundamental frequency (f) is known as the first harmonic, and 2f is known as the second harmonic, and so on. A highly useful application of harmonics is the Fourier analysis. In Fourier analysis, any periodic function can be built using the harmonics of a simple wave such as a sine wave.
What is Overtone?
Overtone is defined as any frequency having a larger value than the fundamental frequency of the system. When an overtone is combined with the fundamental frequency, it is known as a partial. A harmonic is such a partial having an integer multiplication of the fundamental. Such partials are produced in every musical instrument. These partials are the reason why each musical instrument has its distinct sound. If musical instruments created pure harmonics, every one of these instruments would sound exactly the same. In naming the overtones, the second harmonic is named as the first overtone etc.
What is the difference between overtone and harmonic?
• Harmonics are exact integer multiplications of the fundamental frequency, but overtones can take any value above the fundamental frequency.
• The fundamental frequency itself is considered as the first harmonic, but it is not classified as an overtone. Not all overtones are stationary waves. Only the overtones matching the frequencies of the harmonics act as stationary waves. All harmonics are stationary waves.


Featuring experiential booth, ‘Dr. OLED’s Weird LAB,’ which demonstrates
the excellence of Samsung OLED
Samsung Display announced its participation in MWC 2023 from February 27 to March 2 under the theme of Hyper-Connected through OLED. After a five year hiatus, Samsung Display is returning to the Barcelona, Spain event with a special exhibit that will showcase the lightweight, durable and water-resistant properties of Samsung OLEDs through entertaining experiments.

Samsung Display’s proprietary Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), a super-thin foldable tempered glass that covers the display and is resistant to cracks even under force, is also demonstrated live.
Like at CES, Samsung Display is showcasing a number of futuristic mobile concepts at MWC that hints at the future of the electronics industry, including the 17-inch Flex Slidable Solo that expands the screen in one direction, multi-foldables that can take on the shape of ‘S’ and ‘G’ and the 17.3-inch Flex Note, a foldable laptop.
OLED Image Quality in Laptop, OLED Area for IT devices
The IT Experience Zone exhibition space is constructed with dimmed lighting to maximize the quality of OLED’s vivid colors. The space showcases the advantage of OLED for IT device in comparison to LCD, such as OLEDs that are easier on eyes especially utilizing scenarios of a photo and video editing studio and OLEDs that are specialized in gaming. Samsung Display explained that demand for OLED has increased dramatically in devices such as laptops and tablets due to OLED’s outstanding image quality and eye-care feature, which is not only welcomed by video content creators, but also by users who enjoy gaming and video content.
For those who get used to outstanding image quality and seamless videos on their OLED smartphones, the IT experience zone is expected to capture visitors' attention to make them experience the same excellent features on IT devices. Visitors will have the opportunity to compare and contrast the different qualities of images and videos taken with a Galaxy S23 on both LCD and OLED laptop ‘Galaxy Book 3 Pro’ screens.
Finally, the Automotive Experience Zone will feature the 34-inch display of a digital cockpit from the driver's seat of a futuristic autonomous car, which usher in a future where automotive displays become large-sized and multi-screen. A 13.4-inch round car display that complements a chic design will also be on exhibit for visitors to see.
“Along with CES 2023 this past January, we created this special exhibition for MWC 2023 so visitors can experience the excellence of Samsung OLED in person,” said Dennis Choi, executive vice president and head of Mobile Strategic Marketing at Samsung Display. “Displays are extremely important in many of today’s electronic devices and often determine the high quality and design of the finished product. We want everyone to be able to experience the benefits of OLED technology and will continue to create a more powerful OLED ecosystem in all areas of daily life, such as smartphones, laptops and automotive, all connected as one world."


If you’re carrying out electrical work on an existing installation it’s important to ensure you follow the correct sequence of testing. Failure to do so can put you and the people who use the installation at risk.
Sequence of electrical testing can also cause damage to the equipment being tested and may invalidate the results of the tests you are performing – so it’s worth understanding the correct order.
When working on an existing installation the first step is to carry out a visual inspection, this allows the electrician to confirm that permanently wired equipment is in good condition and that all fire barriers, protective-, monitoring-, isolating- and switching devices are present and functioning. This is then followed by a more thorough inspection & test procedure to determine the safety of the installation.
The six mandatory tests required by law include:
This test ensures that no parts of the circuit are connected to a live phase conductor. It can be carried out by using a multimeter with a continuity setting. Touch the probes to two points on the circuit and note the reading. If the meter indicates that the voltage is flowing in the correct direction, the reading will be positive. If not, the meter will indicate that the voltage is flowing in the wrong direction and can be potentially fatal.


A digital wallet also referred to as “e-wallet” refers to an electronic device, online service, or software program which allows an one party to make digital transactions with another party bartering digital currency units for products or services. This can include purchasing items online with a computer or using a smartphone to get something at a shop. Money can be transferred within the digital wallet before any transactions or, in some cases, an individual’s banking accounts can be connected to the electronic wallet. Customers might also have their driver’s permit, health card, loyalty card(s) and other Identification documents stored within the wallet. The credentials could be passed to some merchant’s terminal easily through close to area interaction (NFC). More and more, electronic wallets are made not simply for basic financial dealings but also to authenticate the holder’s credentials. As an example, an electronic digital wallet could confirm age the customer to the shop whilst buying alcoholic beverages. The system has become popular in China, where digital wallets are referred to as “wallet mobiles”. A cryptocurrency wallet is actually a electronic wallet where personal keys are stored for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.
A Ewallets In Malaysia is really a software-based system that securely stores users’ repayment information and passwords for several repayment methods and websites. Using a digital wallet, users can complete purchases quickly and easily with close to-area communications technologies. They could also produce more powerful security passwords without stressing about whether they can keep in mind them later.
Digital wallets can be used along with mobile repayment techniques, which allow clients to cover buys making use of their mobile phones. An electronic wallet could also be used to store devotion card details and electronic discount coupons.
An electronic wallet has both a software and knowledge component. Safe and fair digital payment techniques are important problem. The software offers security and encryption for the personal information as well as the actual deal. Usually, electronic wallets are stored in the customer side and therefore are easily self-maintained and fully appropriate for most e-commerce web sites. A server-part electronic wallet, also called a thin wallet, is one an business creates for contributing to you together with keeps on its servers. Server-part electronic wallets are gaining popularity amongst significant merchants as a result of security, effectiveness, and additional utility it offers for the end-user, which raises their satisfaction of their overall buy. The details element is essentially a database of user-input details. This information consists of your delivery deal with, billing deal with, repayment methods (including charge card numbers, expiry dates, and security figures), as well as other information.
Digital wallets are comprised of each digital wallet gadgets and digital wallet systems. You will find dedicated digital wallet devices like the biometric wallet by Dunhill, a physical gadget that holds cash and credit cards along with a Wireless bluetooth mobile connection. Presently you can find further explorations for smartphones with NFC digital wallet capabilities, like the Samsung Galaxy series and the Google Nexus smartphones making use of Google’s Google android working system and Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Additionally making use of Apple Pay. Other people consist of Samsung Pay out, Google Pay, along with payment solutions like PayPal and Venmo.
Electronic wallet systems enable the widespread use of digital wallet transactions among different retail store vendors as mobile obligations techniques and digital wallet applications. The M-PESA mobile payments system and microfinancing service has widespread utilization in Kenya and Tanzania,whilst the MasterCard PayPass program has been adopted by several vendors in the U.S. and globally.
Electronic wallets are used more frequently amongst Asian countries also. One in each and every 5 customers in Asia are utilizing a digital wallet, representing a twofold increase from two years ago. A MasterCard mobile buying survey among 8500 grown ups, older 18-64 throughout 14 marketplaces, demonstrated that 45% of customers in China, 36.7% of users in India and 23.3% of users in Singapore are definitely the greatest adopters of digital wallets. The survey was conducted among October and Dec 2015. Additional evaluation demonstrated that 48.5% of consumers in ixkjsi regions made buys utilizing smartphones. Indian consumers are leading the way with 76.4% utilizing a smart phone to create a purchase, which is actually a drastic increase of 29.3% through the earlier calendar year. This has influenced brands like Reliance and Amazon . com India to come out with their own digital wallet. Flipkart has now launched their own electronic wallet.


I am extremely glad to announce that Intel has decided to provide a copy of our Intel® open-source OpenMP* runtime as an LLVM sub-project (and the LLVM project has been kind enough to accept our contribution!). This gives the community a fully LLVM license compatible version of the OpenMP runtime for use in OpenMP development projects. The complete source code is now available at openmp.llvm.org.
We open-sourced the Intel OpenMP runtime code to support the development of a full LLVM-based implementation of the OpenMP specification. Intel’s compiler team in Moscow has made outstanding progress in implementing the Clang changes to support the OpenMP language extensions (you can see their work at http://clang-omp.github.io), and now we’ve reached a milestone where we can create an LLVM sub-project for some of the other components that are needed to build a complete OpenMP system.
Personally, I am very happy (and proud) to be associated with LLVM, and I look forward to a long and productive collaboration.
