OS full form or meaning is Operating System.
An Operating System is an interface between a computer or mobile user and computer hardware or mobile hardware.
Any computer or mobile works with software and hardware configurations, so the operating system is the system software, which provides a platform for the computer or mobile hardware and the computer or mobile software to work together so that the computer or mobile can work correctly.
The operating system performs all the basic tasks of any computer or mobile, such as memory management, file management, input and output handling, process management, etc.
Whether you are mobile, computer, video game or supercomputer, everything is working correctly due to the operating system.
There are several types of operating systems, such as single-tasking and multitasking.
Apart from this, there are also the single-user and multi-user operating systems.
In the beginning, when a computer was created, it was able to do only one thing without an operating system, such as a calculator.
Multitasking by computer, that is, an operating system gave a computer capable of doing a lot of work at once
Windows, iOS and Linux are some of the most famous computer operating systems, whereas Android and iOS are the most popular mobile operating systems.
Whenever you turn on your computer or mobile for the first time, it takes a little time before it turns on, and does some internal processing, in fact, your computer or mobile is starting its operating system, with the help of that, You will be able to use other software on your mobile or computer and do your essential work.
Importance of OS- Operating System in mobile and computer
An operating system is very important for any mobile or computer, or the most important because it acts as a middleman between the user and the computer or mobile.
As you know that computer understands a different machine language, does not understand any human language.
So a user cannot directly command a computer processor in human language, nor can a computer perform a task and respond in human language
So here is the need for a program that understands both computer language and human language, and can establish coordination between the two
An operating system performs this important function in a mobile or computer.
Functions of Operating System (OS)
Operating systems carry out the most important work of computer or mobile operation, some important functions are-
- Memory management
- device management
- system performance control
- error detection
- process management
- file management
- co-ordination between all other software and users
Key Points about OS- operating system
- As long as your computer or mobile is on, its operating system is also turned on
- You can use other essential hardware parts of computer or mobile like CPU, memory and input-output devices such as a mouse, keyboard etc. only by using the operating system.
- Microsoft is the most famous Microsoft operating system, and about 83% of computers use Microsoft’s Windows operating system.
The second number is Apple’s Mac operating system, which is used in about 14 % of computers.
- The most commonly used operating system in smartphones around the world is Google’s Android, the second is Apple’s iOS.Android’s market share is about 88 per cent, while iOS is having a 12 per cent share.
- Linux operating system is also a famous computer operating system that is mostly used in supercomputers and server computers.
Some other famous full forms of OS
OS- Open Source- in computer software
OS- Online Services- in computing and networking
OS- off-site – in business

This is a review of the Samsung Galaxy S9 camera (not S9+) after using it for a month. If you just want to see the comparison to the old LG, skip to: 5:06
Is it really worth upgrading? Well, if you’re using a smartphone from the last 1 – 3 years and you’re still happy with it, I don’t see why you would. Many of the hyped features are things the average user won’t really notice or care about in day to day use. The camera is WAY better in low light but the old phone still holds solid for day time. The S9 has one of the best screens on the market and a fantastic camera, so I would recommend buying it if you need a new phone or if the camera is a big deal to you (or get the S9+ if you want the bigger screen, I personally don’t think the dual camera is worth the upgrade alone).
The camera is great, though. I won’t lie. I just don’t think it’s worth upgrading if you’re happy with your current device. There’s a lot of hype around these devices and sometimes it’s justified, but other times it’s a bit blown out of proportion.
- True 12MP photos with a good amount of detail
- Dual aperture for better low light shots and sharper daylight shots
- Noise kept well in check in low light
- Video quality is very good, especially stabilized 4K
- Video stabilization is very effective
- User interface is a bit clunky, especially in pro mode
- Sometimes in low light the camera shutter speed is too slow making it difficult to shoot clear photos
- HDR mode is inconsistent


Samsung’s energy efficient 18.5-inch LCD consumes just 6.3W of power
Samsung are taking the concept of eco-friendly computer monitors to a whole new level. The Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has come up with a greener LCD screen, an 18.5-inch LCD display. Unlike its peers, this screen consumes a relatively low amount of energy, just 6.3W, and was shown off at the SID 2010. And if you’re wondering how low the power consumption of this screen really is, get a hold of this. At the display booth, this LCD was connected to a computer’s USB2.0 and powered entirely by it.
The firm plans to start production of these screens by 2011. So what makes this LCD consume less? An improved transmittance of the panel and the luminance efficiency of the backlight do the trick. The only hitch is a decreased life span, just 30,000 hours, unlike the 50,000 hours LCDs nowadays boast. But then again, for all its energy efficiency, that’s just a minor setback.

Dr Catriona Wallace is a leading Artificial Intelligence expert. She is the Founder and CEO of highprofile AI FinTech company (ASX: FGO) Flamingo AI, which provides Cognitive Virtual Assistant platforms to help financial services companies improve online sales conversion rates. Dividing her time between New York City and Sydney, Dr Catriona Wallace has received a slew of industry accolades, including the Advance Australia’s Technology & Innovation Award in 2017. Dr Catriona Wallace has also been inducted into the Australian Business Woman’s Hall of Fame.
AI is spoken about extensively in the context of the financial services industry. Can you tell us more about what it really means?
AI is a concept that was coined in the 1950s to describe how human intelligence could be mimicked by computers. Despite this early start, over the last 50 years, the level of computational power required to run the algorithm that created an AI engine, or software, just hasn’t been there. However, right now we are at a stage where two important factors are converging – we have computational power and we have huge terabytes of data, so we can train the algorithms. So, for these two reasons – we are at a time where AI has finally come of age. Attention now is turning to a particular type of AI called machine learning, where the machine is able to improve at tasks with experience, under no supervision. AI can be loosely categorised into two camps – general AI (think Siri, Cortana) and Narrow AI (think AlphaGo). The reason why we are seeing failure in some banks with AI deployment is that people are trying to deploy general intelligence machines that are broad, but not deep in their capability. Beyond general and narrow Intelligence is ‘Super’ intelligence’ – where the machines actually do things beyond what humans can do. That level of AI is predicted to come in in 2030 and there’s a term associated with that which is ‘singularity’ – the hypothesised time when super intelligent machines improve themselves without human involvement. That’s the bit that many AI commentators, including Elon Musk, are worried about.
What is the status of AI within the banking sector?
A lot of the banks have gone out and brought the traditional AI engines and they are trying to get them to answer customer enquiries – and it’s often failing. Within the AI, artificial narrow intelligence is what the banks should initially focus on. Artificial narrow intelligence is when we really limit the domain that the machine has to learn in. Flamingo AI’s machine ROSIE, who is narrow AI, is provided to banks and insurance companies and she just has to learn about one product and one function at a time. It’s very narrow and she can learn within a couple of weeks all the questions a customer might have around that narrow case. Conversely, an artificial general intelligence engine would be something like IBM Watson, Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomePod, where they are expected to know a lot of subjects. This is still not completely mature, so we are probably about three years away from the general intelligence machine being able to really mimic human functions and do effective tasks. In the banking sector, there’s a Gartner statistic suggesting 40 per cent of banking and finance jobs will be replaced by machines in the next 10 years. Within the next three years, 30 per cent of customer interactions will be performed by machines. The transformative power of AI is coming like a freight train and will be a huge change, described as the 4th Industrial Revolution or the 3rd Wave of technological change. The big AI commentators compare this to the same level of change experienced when electricity was introduced to the industry. The future of banking should be not only employees and machines working closely together to deliver great customer experiences, but it should also be customers using machine learning and AI to interact with their bank. Machine-to-machine and customer-machine to banking-machine can already happen for those organisations who are progressively thinking about this.
In terms of AI implementation, how advanced are Australia’s financial institutions compared to the US?
Because I work predominately in the US, it is obvious to me that the level of education, research and knowledge of AI in Australia is very poor in comparison. There is a very different conversation that we have in the US than in Australia and it is a real concern. There is not enough knowledge, conversation or debate about the risks and benefits of AI in the Australian market. The average budget a tech company will spend on AI is around $10 million, so it is a significant investment. AI is the fastest growing tech sector in the world at the moment, growing five times the annual compound growth-rate each year. There definitely needs to be a discussion at the board and executive team level and an AI strategy should underpin not only their digital strategy but also their business strategy. It needs to be one of the top three strategic imperatives for banking going forward. The very best way to start is to undertake experimentation in small proof of concept and pilots of no more than $100,000. If you can’t trial and test an AI product under $100,000 then there’s a problem. There is no need to be spending millions of dollars on AI. Banks need to start very small and prove out commercial results first. If there are no commercial results, then don’t proceed.
Have Australian banks effectively grasped AI?
Australian companies are still really in the early stages of testing and trialling. We know that the banks are trialling AI to some extent, but a lot of them are using contact centre vendors or chat bots which is insufficient. What we now need is a much better education dialogue around AI strategy for banks where it’s not just the large tech vendors that they consider working with. There needs to be a lot more engagement with the new AI machine learning companies who really are the ones trying to solve problems with AI.
These insights from Dr Catriona Wallace are drawn from the Experteq Banking Industry Report 2018. Read the full report here.

Second-Generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) Announced at 2017 Google I/O
Google as a company is constantly launching new technologies with the potential to radically change entire industries and alter the course of human civilization, with some of the best press announcements reserved for release at the annual I/O Convention. This year, Sundar Pichai (CEO), Jeff Dean (Research), and Urs Hölzle (Google Cloud) all made simultaneously timed announcements that effectively launched an entirely new form of cloud web hosting based around machine learning and artificial intelligence. Google has developed a new type of computer server with advanced Tensor Processing Units or TPUs which function to optimize machine learning processes for AI in a manner similar to the way that GPUs operate in the advanced mathematical rendering of high-speed computer graphics or in accelerating Bitcoin mining. Google intends to make the machine learning servers available for research and development on open source standards through cloud computing plans which can be programmed with TensorFlow, "an open-source software library for Machine Intelligence." The launch of Cloud TPU hosting is one of the highlights of Google's change from a "mobile-first" to "AI-first" company and symbolic of its goal to develop "AI-first" data centers across all current business operations.


Intel will release its new, 8th-generation, Coffee Lake CPUs in the second half of 2017
Things are about to get really interesting this year. We all know that AMD is about to its release its new Ryzen CPUs. And while most gamers are looking forward to it, it appears that Intel will not stand still and lose the fight. During its Investor Day event last week, Intel revealed that its eighth-generation Coffee Lake CPUs will be released in the second of half of 2017.
The new Coffee Lake CPUs will be based on a 14nm process, and are reported to be offering a 15% performance boost over the Kaby Lake CPUs.
Intel has not revealed yet the full Coffee Lake lineup, though we are almost certain that it will include all sorts of models; from the regular dual-core models to the high-end eight-core and even ten-core models for enthusiasts.
It will be interesting to see how much these new chips will cost, especially if AMD decides to release its Ryzen CPUs at the reported/rumoured challenging prices.
All in all, things are – finally – getting interesting, so we are really looking forward to both Intel’s and AMD’s brand new CPUs!
Intel has confirmed rumours that there will be a fourth generation of CPUs on its 14nm manufacturing process. During its annual Investor Day seminar, the chipmaker announced that it will not use the newer 10nm process across its entire lineup, instead moving to a “fluid” model depending on product segments. The announcement comes after Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed off a 2-in-1 device running on a working 10nm prototype CPU at CES 2017 last month.
The company will be rolling out 10nm CPUs later this year, but will target CPUs for product segments were power consumption and heat dissipation are more important, such as slim fanless tablets, ultrabooks and 2-in-1s. Desktop and mainstream CPUs will be built on the 14nm process for an unprecedented fourth generation. Interestingly, Intel has announced that its next generation of Xeon chips for datacentres will also move to the next process node early, to take advantage of a forecast of increased demand.
Intel for several years followed a “tick-tock” cycle of annual refreshes, alternating between new architectures and new manufacturing processes until last year. Citing manufacturing complexities, the company announced that the Cannonlake generation, expected on its 10nm process in 2016, would be delayed, with a new stopgap called Kaby Lake launched on the existing 14nm process instead. Intel called this new cadence “Process-Architecture-Optimisation”, indicating that Kaby Lake would deliver higher performance by virtue of refinements to the 14nm process, and that a two-year gap between process shrinks was no longer realistic. However, with a fourth 14nm generation now confirmed, this model has already been broken.
Recent rumours had suggested that Intel was planning for a fourth “optimisation” within this cycle, codenamed Coffee Lake, which would be a refresh of Kaby Lake for mainstream segments, while Cannonlake would be introduced in limited quantities for thin and light devices. Intel has only confirmed that there will be 14nm processors in the mix of products sold as “8th Generation Core”, not whether its 10nm and 14nm products will use the same architecture.
The company has indicated that it expects a 15 percent boost in performance over Kaby Lake, which is the same modest improvement that Kaby Lake has delivered compared to Skylake. It has not confirmed any specific CPU configurations, particularly whether or not these upcoming CPUs will have more than the usual four CPU cores.
Intel will face renewed competition from AMD’s new Ryzen CPUs, which are expected to launch in early March. AMD has not been able to produce anything capable of matching the higher-end models in Intel’s product line, but it is now promising to do just that.

My third solid state HV source
(output peak voltage 6.7kV)
again using a fly-back
Table of contents:
Specs of the circuit
The specs of the third TV fly-back
This circuit was extracted from a really huge CO2-LASER (1kW beam
power continious duty!) where it was the ignition circuit:
Sorry for the german text in the schematic,
english version is coming soon after more detailled testing of the
Output is AC. The secondary coil is floating. The limiting factor in voltage
is the potential against the grounded ferrite core. Perhaps it would be a
good idea to connect the low voltage end of the secondary coil to the earth
lead of the power plug...
I have no idea what the initial driving voltage was. The circuit starts to
run at aproximately 14V. The input cap is rated 40V. Therefore I guess it
originally was designed to run at 24V. I made a DC source for 25V. When drawing
an ac, the power resistors R7-R10 get hot but not as much as to worry about.
The Heatsink of the transistors gets warm.
With the peak voltage rectifier I described
here, I measured the peak output voltage
to be 6.7kV (Vss=13.4kV, Veff=4.75kV assuming sinusoidal waveform).
With no arc, the input current (measured at the fuse) is 0.7A. With an arc
at the output, it increases up to 2.5A. Since it was not designed to
deliver a continious arc, the 1A fuse makes sense and the 24V driving voltage
seem to be ok.
I for sure want the circuit to deliver considerable output power. The only
parts which get hot at the moment are the BD438 and the four 0.82 Ohm power
resistors at the drivers.
Seems as if the purpose of the BD438 is to control the
power into the circuit. I want to maximize the power, so I'll try to bridge
the BD438 with a power-pot and see if I can increase the input current (while
an arc is drawn) by decreasing its resistance, hopefully down to zero Ohms.
If that works, I'll remove all connections of the feedback circuit (connection
FB from the gate of the BUZ20 and the 3.9k resistor).
Next step is to bridge the four 0.82 Ohm power resistors
at the drivers with an aditional power-pot. I'll decrease the value until
anything other than the power resistors will start to get hot.
Hopefully, adding some capacitors will improve the circuits
pulse capability (read: more output voltage). I plan to add 220uF to the
47uF in the input filter to adjust to the increased power level. A high
performance pulse capacitor (FKP or MKP with approx. 1uF) will be added to
get fast raising pulse edges.
I finally managed to get the whole thing (WITH
the power supply) into its old housing:
Here the housing is closed:
And here with a paper clip installed to make a miniature Jacobs ladder:
And now with some power applied:
Here are two movie clips. the first one shows me starting the arc by sticking
some kind of metal tool between the rails, the second one using a lighter
(click the images):
Experiments, max. arcs etc.:
I got 120 caps 4.7nF@30kV and plan to build a villard cascade from them using
the ignition circuit above as the driver.
Charging the all caps (564nF) up to 20kV, the total energy in them will
be 113J (176J at 25kV).
some suitable diodes (suitable for the high frequency of the flyback circuit)
will be either KYX28/15 (15kV/2mA) like here
or Diotecs DD1800 (18kV/20mA)
In a villard cascade, all the elements have to be designed for 2 times the
peak input voltage. You'll need 2 caps and 2 diodes per stage.
Output power from the AC-supply (ignition circuit) is
approx. 40W. At 60kV output of the cascade, that's roughly 0.6mA. Not
enough for a big bad lifter...
I'll try to boost the ignition circuit to deliver 100W and add a cascade
to get 50kVpeak voltage, that will result in 2mA for the lifter at 50kV.
Alternatvely, a two paralelled OBITs with 5kVeff (90W power each) could
be used to get the desired 50kV:
I have 25pc. of diodes type H2612-22 (probably 10kV / 100mA, can't find
any datasheet, probably just microwave oven diodes designed for
With 7kVpeak from the xfmrs, two stacked diodes have to be used (total of
4 per stage), that's 6 stages for a total of 24 diodes.
6 stages will result in (6+1)*7kV = 50kV, so the goal would also be reached.
Still have to calculate the voltage drop when the
lifter is connected (1mA/2mA/5mA).


There are several kinds of hardware that may be used to implement a WiFi wireless network:
WiFi 무선 네트워크를 구현하기 위해 사용되는 하드웨어의 종류는 여러가지가 있다.
- Wireless adaptersornetwork interface controllers(NICs for short) are network cards with the 802.11 standard which let a machine connect to a wireless network. WiFi adapters are available in numerous formats, such asPCIcards,PCMCIAcards,USBadapters, andCompactFlashcards. Astationis any device that has such a card.
- 무선 어댑터또는 네트워크 인터페이스 컨트롤러 (NIC)는 머신이 무선 네트워크에 연결될 수 있도록 하는802.11 표준네트워크 카드이다. WiFi 어댑터들은 다양한 포맷들이 존재한다. PCI 카드, PCMCIA 카드, USB 어댑터, Compact Flash 카드. 하나의 스테이션은 그러한 카드를 가지고 있는 장치이다.
- Access points(APfor short; sometimes calledhotspots) can let nearby wifi-equipped stations access a wired network to which the access point is directly connected.
- 엑세스 포인트 (AP, 때론 hotspot이라 부른다)는 주변의 와이파이-장착된 스테이션들이직접 연결된유선 네트워크에 접근하는 것을허용한다.
The 802.11 standard defines two operating modes:
802.11 표준은 2개 동작 모드를 정의한다.
- Infrastructure mode, in which wireless clients are connected to an access point. This is generally the default mode for 802.11b cards.
- 인프라스트럭쳐 모드, 무선 클라이언트들은 엑세스 포인트(AP)에 접속된다. 이것은 일반적으로 802.11b 카드들의 기본 모드입니다.
- Ad hocmode, in which clients are connected to one another without any access point.
- 애드훅(Adhoc) 모드, 클라이언트들은 임의 엑세스 포인트 없이 연결된다.
Infrastructure mode (인프라스트럭쳐 모드)
Inmode infrastructure, each station computer (STAfor short) connects to an access point via a wireless link. The set-up formed by the access point and the stations located within its coverage area are called thebasic service set, orBSSfor short. They form one cell. Each BSS is identified by a BSSID, a 6-byte (48-bite) identifier. Ininfrastructuremode, the BSSID corresponds to the access point'sMAC address.
It is possible to link several access points together (or more precisely several BSS's) using a connection called adistribution system(DSfor short) in order to form anextended service setorESS. The distribution system can also be a wired network, a cable between two access points or even a wireless network.
An ESS is identified with anESSID(Extended Service Set Identifier), a 32-character identifier (inASCIIformat) which acts as its name on the network. The ESSID, often shortened toSSID, shows the network's name, and in a way acts a first-levelsecuritymeasure, since it is necessary for a station to know theSSIDin order to connect to the extended network.
When a roaming user goes from one BSS to another while moving within the ESS, his or her machine's wireless network adapter is able to switch access points depending on the quality of the signal it receives from different access points. Access points communicate with one another using a distribution system in order to trade information about the stations and, if necessary, to transmit data from mobile stations. This feature which lets stations move "transparently" from one access point to another is calledroaming.
Communicating with the access point
When a station joins a cell, the cell sends aprobe requeston each channel. This request contains the ESSID that the cell is configured to use, as well as the traffic volume that its wireless adapter can support. If no ESSID is set, the station listens to the network for an SSID.
Each access point broadcasts at regular intervals (about ten times a second) a signal called abeacon, which gives information on its BSSID, its characteristics, and, if applicable, its ESSID. The ESSID is automatically broadcast by default, but it is possible (and recommended) to disable this option.
Whenever a probe request is received, the access point checks the ESSID and the traffic volume request found in the beacon. If the given ESSID matches that of the access point, the acces point sends a response containing synchronization data and information on its traffic load. This way, the station that receives the response can check the quality of the signal being sent by the access point in order to determine how far away it is. Generally speaking, the closer an access point is, the higher its data transfer capacity is.
So a station within range of multiple access points (which have the same SSID) maychoosethe access point offering the best balance of capacity and current traffic load.
|When a station is within range of several access points, the station chooses which one to connect to.|
Ad hoc mode
Inad hoc mode, wireless client machines connect to one another in order to form a peer-to-peer network, i.e. a network in which every machine acts as both a client and an access point at the same time.
The set-up formed by the stations is called theindependent basic service set, or IBSS for short.
An IBSS is a wireless network which has at least two stations and uses no access point. The IBSS therefore forms a temporary network which lets people in the same room exchange data. It is identified by an SSID, just like an ESS in infrastructure mode.
In an ad hoc network, the range of theindependent BSSis determined by each station's range. That means that if two of the stations on the network are outside each other's range, they will not be able to communicate, even if they can "see" other stations. Unlike infrastructure mode, ad hoc mode has no distribution system that can send data frames from one station to another. An IBSS, then, is by definition a restricted wireless network.

What is 5G
5G which is the fifth generation of wireless cellular technology is the successor of 4G. The internet speed test of 5G is said to be extremely fast and it is estimated to be about 70 times faster than the existing 4G networks. 5G aims to have a new kind of network that is designed to connect everything virtually like machines, objects, and devices. In simple words, 5G aims to make our day-to-day lives easier by having faster internet with quicker downloads and less lagging.
Benefits of 5G
The biggest benefit of 5G is data transfer speed. It surpasses internet speed test in a jiffy. 5G wireless technology is designed to deliver data speeds with low latency and more reliability. It aims to gain massive network capacity and increased availability, and a more uniform user experience. With more bandwidth available, everyone will be able to do more with their devices and it will open new doors to smart and advanced technology like Artificial Intelligence, etc.
Challenges of 5G
One of the disadvantages of 5G networks is that you will need special equipment to access them. Your old phones, tablets, and old systems won’t be able to connect to 5G networks. In the case of existing infrastructure, it will need to be upgraded to work with 5G which is not easy on pockets too. Currently, 5G coverage is limited to specific cities. However, the carriers will be expanding their network in areas. For people especially in remote areas, it will be some time before users can benefit from the same.
What is Fiber
Fiber Internet is a broadband connection that uses fiber-optic cable that can send data at super-fast speed. Fiber is short for Fiber-Optic Cables. These are extremely thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data over great distances using pulses of light. Unlike other internet services that transmit data through electrical current over copper wiring, fiber operates at the speed of light.
Benefits of Fiber
With fiber internet broadband connection, you will get faster speeds that can seamlessly stream content without the interruptions. It also allows for multiple device usage like your smartphones, laptop, smart TV without hampering the speed. It can also cover long distances based on the network, wavelength, and type of cable. Fiber lessens latency. Fiber internet has symmetrical speeds which means you can receive uploads speed at the same rate as your download speed.
Challenges of Fiber
Some disadvantages of fiber internet broadband connection would be damage as fibers are more sensitive and thinner than cable lines. Cost is also a concern as the initial installation of fiber lines might be prohibitively expensive. Fiber optic cables are small and are thinner, lighter and can be more delicate than other types of wiring.
Comparison of 5G vs Fiber
Comparing 5G vs Fiber directly is a bit tricky as they are each used differently. The main difference between 5G and fiber is that 5G is a cellular wireless technology while fiber is a wire. In short, while one is wireless, and one is wired. Fiber carries more data than 5G bandwidth. The installation cost for 5G is lower than fiber as the latter incurs high cost due to trenching. However, the operational cost of 5G is higher than Fiber. In some cases, fiber comes with a home phone while there are no landline options for 5G.
Which one is better for you?
While fiber scales to internet users’ needs, 5G, though relatively new, offers excellent flexibility in public areas. Technology is constantly evolving and making advancements every day and one must make a choice depending on what is their requirement.


Build an Arc Welder from Microwave Ovens: Part 3 June 30, 2009 by rickety 6 Comments The Story So Far Paul obtained his microwave ovens, wired the garage for 220 volts, and extracted the first transformer. In this segment he replaces the old secondary windings with new, thicker wire. One side of the secondary winding was sawed off with a hacksaw. The secondary windings were in so tight they had to be knocked out. Tearing out a few windings loosened the rest. The secondary is completely removed. Using short lengths of 6 gauge wire as guides. The completed secondary consists of 11 feet of 6 gauge wire wound in 11 turns. Related Articles Build a Microwave Transformer Homemade Stick/Arc Welder Learn from the experts.

Over the last century we have seen dramatic technological changes, now “Industry 4.0” is set to bring massive changes to the property industry.
What on earth is Industry 4.0 and what were the other 3?
Picture a 19th-century worker with calloused hands and an ailing back, walking in to work on a Monday to find a shiny new water or steam-powered machine, ready to help with the days work. That was Industry 1.0.
Now his 20th century grand-son walks into the now much larger factory to find his coal shovelling days are over now that concentrated power is possible through the invention of electricity. Machines began to get smaller and more portable. We call this Industry 2.0.
If we move forward to the end of the decade, we see that the electrically run machines have inbuilt transistors and circuit chips. The great-great grandson of our original steam engine operator is no longer running the machinery, but is now monitoring it for bugs and operational errors. Computers and automation meant that the entire process of enterprise was optimised and turned on it’s head. We give you Industry 3.0.
Now, we’re back to 2019 and we are at the very beginning of Industry 4.0. This is the point in time where the physical world and the virtual world collide. New technology integration, augmented reality, data analytics, drone technology, machine learning and the internet of things will all begin to play a huge part in the way all industries conduct their operations. The property industry, whilst slightly slower than industries like mining and agriculture, will see operations change forever over the coming decades.
The 4 Principles of Industry 4.0
Over time we will be moving towards the Internet of Everything (IoE). A large component being the Internet of Things (IoT) which you’ve probably already heard of.
The idea of the interconnection principle is that through more and more “things” becoming intelligent through sensors and data analysis, they can then start to connect and interact together, creating the internet of everything will allow for optimisation of operations and innovation in the industry of which it is utilised.
In the property industry, technology like drones and other surveying machinery that will be able to instantly place orders for material or update design software with appropriate measurements will become commonplace.
Principle two refers to emerging technologies ability to make a “digital twin”. Through complex data being fed through various equipment sensors, it is possible to make a digital version of a physical site that has endless applications in the development of property and construction. This would include the planning and design stages.
More so than ever Industry 4.0 will again shift us humans away from being the operators of machinery and tools to the strategic decision makers behind their use. The complex algorithms and analysis capabilities of technology will be an integral part in supporting human decision making on projects.
The final principal is related to the long term applications as machine learning and the IoE become more developed and machinery and other technologies are able to make their own autonomous decisions. We’re already seeing applications of machine learning, but a full integration in property is a little way off. An example of a product already gaining momentum is autonomous self-driven vehicles.
Industry 4.0 Property Applications
Building Information Modelling is already used by many designers and has assisted in the move over to 3D drawings and renders. Currently, these are mostly used as a direct replacement for 2D drawings, designed to give clients a clear idea of what can be expected. In the future, architects, designers and engineers will be developing more complex digital models that can be used by builders in the building process, and in combination with intelligent equipment.
The full application of technology in the building industry isn’t upon us yet but is quickly approaching and it’s clear that those who are able to pick it up as it becomes available, may be able to push ahead of the pack.
If you’ve had enough talk of the future for now, why not catch up on what’s currently happening across the markets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.


When a barking dog is in the area covered by the Petsafe Bark Control System, an international microphone picks up the sound. The device then automatically emits audible ultrasounds for dogs, but inaudible to most humans.
Surprised by this high pitched sound, the dog should stop barking. Over time, the dog will make the association between his barking and this unpleasant sound. When the dog stops barking, the ultrasound emission also stops. The device is effective up to 8 meters.

Fledgling autonomous racing series Roborace is giving its cars an upgrade. From 2018 the brains of the car will come in form of Nvidia’s DRIVE Pegasus AI. The platform is specially designed for full self-driving vehicles.
Nvidia has been on board with the project since April 2016. A key partner, they supplied the DRIVE PX 2 technology previously used. The switch to Pegasus marks a significant upgrade for the Robocars. Launched in October 2017, Pegasus is capable of more than ten times the performance of its predecessor. It can perform an impressive 320 trillion operations per second. Roborace boasts that this licence plate sized unit has the power of a 100 server data centre.
Roborace hopes to eventually evolve into a fully fledged racing series with all electric, all autonomous cars. Initially this will be a support series for the Formula E championship, the all electric racing series. The hope is a racing series will push forward autonomous technology that will benefit road cars in the future.
So far Roborace have limited the cars to a series of demonstration events. The latest, in early December took place in Hong Kong prior to a Formula E event. On that occasion the AI competed against Formula E pitlane reporter Nicki Shields to set the fastest time.
“Roborace will enable motorsport to play an increasingly significant role in the development of technologies which will improve driver performance and ultimately save lives on our roads,” said Bryn Balcombe, Chief Strategy Officer, Roborace. “Cognitive power will soon rival horsepower as an automotive performance measure and the NVIDIA DRIVE Pegasus sets a new benchmark which will enable Roborace to extend competitions well beyond the confines of traditional circuit racing.”
“Roborace is pushing the limits of AI technology and delivering autonomous driving experiences that have never been achieved before,” said Danny Shapiro, Senior Director of Automotive, NVIDIA. “The advances made with NVIDIA technology in motorsport will accelerate adoption of autonomous vehicles on public roads, making daily travel safer and more enjoyable.”
Roborace will be at CES 2018 which takes place in Las Vegas next week where they will be showing off the upgraded Robocar.


http://www.facebook.com/ScienceReason … NASA’s Mars Mission: Weather on Mars looks great for huge rover landing tonight at Gale Crater on Mars: NASA’s one-ton, nuclear-powered Mars Science Laboratory “Curiosity” will land on the red planet tonight.
Please subscribe to Science & Reason:
With Mars looming ever larger in front of it, NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft and its Curiosity rover are in the final stages of preparing for entry, descent and landing on the Red Planet at 10:31 p.m. PDT Aug. 5 (1:31 a.m. EDT Aug. 6, 5:31 a.m. UTC Aug. 6, 6:31 a.m. BST Aug. 6, 7:31 a.m. CEST Aug. 6).
Curiosity remains in good health with all systems operating as expected. Today, the flight team uplinked and confirmed commands to make minor corrections to the spacecraft’s navigation reference point parameters. This afternoon, as part of the onboard sequence of autonomous activities leading to the landing, catalyst bed heaters are being turned on to prepare the eight Mars Lander Engines that are part of MSL’s descent propulsion system.
As of 2:25 p.m. PDT (5:25 p.m. EDT), MSL was approximately 261,000 miles (420,039 kilometers) from Mars, closing in at a little more than 8,000 mph (about 3,600 meters per second).
The gravitational tug of Mars is now pulling NASA’s car-size geochemistry laboratory, Curiosity, in for a suspenseful landing in less than 12 hours.
“After flying more than eight months and 350 million miles since launch, the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft is now right on target to fly through the eye of the needle that is our target at the top of the Mars atmosphere,” said Mission Manager Arthur Amador of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
The spacecraft is healthy and on course for delivering the mission’s Curiosity rover close to a Martian mountain at 10:31 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5 PDT (1:31 a.m. Monday, Aug. 6 EDT). That’s the time a signal confirming safe landing could reach Earth, give or take about a minute for the spacecraft’s adjustments to sense changeable atmospheric conditions.
The only way a safe-landing confirmation can arrive during that first opportunity is via a relay by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter. Curiosity will not be communicating directly with Earth as it lands, because Earth will set beneath the Martian horizon from Curiosity’s perspective about two minutes before the landing.
“We are expecting Odyssey to relay good news,” said Steve Sell of the JPL engineering team that developed and tested the mission’s complicated “sky crane” landing system. “That moment has been more than eight years in the making.”
A dust storm in southern Mars being monitored by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter appears to be dissipating. “Mars is cooperating by providing good weather for landing,” said JPL’s Ashwin Vasavada, deputy project scientist for Curiosity.
Curiosity was approaching Mars at about 8,000 mph (about 3,600 meters per second) Saturday morning. By the time the spacecraft hits the top of Mars’ atmosphere, about seven minutes before touchdown, gravity will accelerate it to about 13,200 mph (5,900 meters per second).
NASA plans to use Curiosity to investigate whether the study area has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life, including chemical ingredients for life.
“In the first few weeks after landing, we will be ramping up science activities gradually as we complete a series of checkouts and we gain practice at operating this complex robot in Martian conditions,” said JPL’s Richard Cook, deputy project manager for Curiosity.
The first Mars pictures expected from Curiosity are reduced-resolution fisheye black-and-white images received either in the first few minutes after touchdown or more than two hours later. Higher resolution and color images from other cameras could come later in the first week. Plans call for Curiosity to deploy a directional antenna on the first day after landing and raise the camera mast on the second day.
The big hurdle is landing. Under some possible scenarios, Curiosity could land safely, but temporary communication difficulties could delay for hours or even days any confirmation that the rover has survived landing.
The prime mission lasts a full Martian year, which is nearly two Earth years. During that period, researchers plan to drive Curiosity partway up a mountain informally called Mount Sharp. Observations from orbit have identified exposures there of clay and sulfate minerals that formed in wet environments.

In the future, fire fighting robots may not be used as a means to fight fires anymore.
Instead, they may be used for other purposes.
A new paper published in the journal Bioinformatics suggests that fire fighting is a suitable application for robots and fire fighting technologies, such as autonomous weapons, may have a more positive impact on global climate change.
The paper’s lead author, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, was born in a remote village in Tanzania.
His father, a firefighter, used to build his own small village with the help of tools.
Today, he works as a fire fighter.
The paper’s main findings are that robots and other technologies like fire fighting are an ideal way to combat extreme weather events like fires.
The team found that using fire fighting techniques on robots can greatly reduce the time and cost of fighting fires and save the lives of firefighters.
This could be a powerful strategy for reducing the impact of extreme weather and climate change, which has been linked to the loss of human life, particularly in the United States, according to the paper.
The researchers also found that robots that use fire fighting and other methods could also save lives.
This is because robots can respond faster to the emergency, and if firefighting robots are used in areas where human life is not at risk, they can be trained to deal with the emergency.
Using this approach, the team found, the robots could save firefighters’ lives by reducing the number of injuries and the cost of responding to the fire.
This saves firefighters from costly hospitalizations, and they can save money by not having to maintain or purchase new equipment.
However, the authors also found there are a number of potential problems that robots could face in the future.
They pointed out that robots can be dangerous to use.
For example, robots could become a target for attack by terrorists.
Robots can also pose a security risk for the human firefighters that rely on them.
This would make it more difficult for the robot to respond to an emergency in the first place, and the robots would be more vulnerable to fire.
A future scenario in which fire fighting robot technology becomes more common will likely be linked to increased risks of human fatalities due to climate change and other extreme weather.
The authors hope that the future will be brighter for fire fighting, but caution that we still have a long way to go.

Samsung phones for the last few months they made Samsung Galaxy S21 5G and Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G. Here we are sharing Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Reviews. I think the phone is ridiculous for its value but was given a mediocre build so the most expensive ultra can shine today we’re reviewing.
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Reviews
Here below are the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Reviews to find the best compatibility usage for yourself or others.
let’s start with a design Samsung releases four color options for this phone and I thought that the phantom black was the best looking it isn’t super dark but professional looking while maintaining the teenage vibe to it let’s start with the elephant in the room.
It has a plastic back like google pixel 5 .it isn’t the most premium feel but if you’re someone who drops the phone all the time you will appreciate the plastic build more than the glass .on one side you will have the power and volume button on the top you will have the microphone.
You have nothing on the other side and sim card 3 charging port microphone and speakers at the bottom. The front glass is protected by the latest gorilla glass victus and the back house is that stop light looking camera module all in all it isn’t the most premium feel.
What new in performance this phone is using two types of processors depending on your region us and china get the snapdragon 888 while the rest of the world gets 2.9GHz Exynos 2100. Our review unit is using snapdragon 888 with 8 GB of ram if I will describe my experience with this phone its overkill.
I can play heavy gaming like mobile legends call of duty and GTA with high to ultra-settings and light gaming such as subway surfer and temple run is blazing fast I have no issue opening apps streaming services and using it for phone calls text and camera use
It has a generous 128GB to 256GB of storage that is perfect for 4k and 8k camera recording. It also has the fast ufs 3.1 storage for faster read and writes this is simply one of the fastest phones in the price range.
This year next is the screen the screen is a large 6.2-inch dynamic AMOLED 2x with 120hz refresh rate and hdr 10 plus compliant the colors are punchy saturated and have deep blacks you don’t have screen bleeding on the side and it’s just a joy to watch videos and play games.
On this phone, the screen is super responsive to touches and you will enjoy this phone in gaming. It has a tall 20 by 9 aspect ratio and that aspect ratio is good for reading multi-window and full-screen videos.
It also has 1300 nits of max brightness that is just super bright for outdoors you will see everything on the screen in direct sunlight although Samsung downgraded a display from galaxy s20 to s21 with the company switching to a low-resolution full HD screen from a quad HD of last year’s s20 still a great screen and no complaints about it.
The battery life of this phone is solid. It has a 4000mAH lithium-ion battery that will last you a full day of use. I was able to play three hours of solid gaming one Netflix movie 2 hours of music another hour for social media and occasional use for calls text and camera use and still have more or less 20 at the end of the day.
The battery can easily last you two days of moderate usage. This phone supports fast-charging up to 25 watts but sadly didn’t come with a charger hopefully you have a spare charger from your old phone with 25 watts. I was able to charge the phone from zero to 50 in 30 minutes it supports wireless charging and reverses wireless charging and saving.
The camera is a triple camera setup of 12-megapixel main 64-megapixel telephoto and 12 megapixels ultra-wide. The galaxy s21 camera hardware hasn’t changed from last year’s s20 and also the camera software experience this phone produces excellent punchy and saturated photos it is also good in managing flair.
Lighting up the shadows you will love the photos that are coming out of this phone especially the portrait shots Samsung has perfected that edited look some people might not like it but most of us do I’m currently doing a lot of camera comparison tests between this phone and other phones. It can record 8k at fps 4k at 60 fps and 1080 at 240 fps with gyro eis or electronic image stabilization videos are excellent but shaky on super active condition
The sound quality is great it’s a typical downward-facing stereo speaker from Samsung. It is stereo quality loud rich and has great bass you will enjoy it.
If you are looking earphone, here is the Top 5 Best Earphones under 800. Please check out this article.
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G is an awesome phone with a 2.9GHz Exynos 2100 octa-core processor chipset. It is escapable as other flagships of this year it is a solid gaming phone and everyday productivity and entertainment companion. It is a cutting-edge phone while cutting some corners in its plastic bag design low-resolution screen.
No charger package but because of these cuts they were able to deliver a snapdragon 888 fantastic camera and all the bells and whistles you will see on the flagship phone for an affordable price I will not recommend this if you’re already using the Samsung s20 stay with your phone and wait for next year but I will recommend this to anyone who uses the older Samsung phones or wanted to try Samsung’s 2021 flagship that’s more affordable.
It is as capable as any flagship phones today if you’re putting a case like mine plastic back won’t even matter and the battery of this phone is somehow benefiting from the low-resolution screen because it doesn’t need to power too many pixels Samsung s21 might have received mediocre build quality and low-resolution screen but it is an excellent ridiculous and affordable phone.

Baldwin County AMATEUR RADIO CLUB - BCARC
PROJECTS AND EXPERIMENTS
JANUARY 2017 - WSPR
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") stands for "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter". It is a computer program used for weak-signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The program was initially written by Joe Taylor, K1JT, but is now open source and is developed by a small team. The program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. These low power transmissions can be as low as 200 milli watts, or lower. Radio beacon transmissions have been sent out from the United States and heard all around the world - on less than a watt of radio frequency power.
The BCARC amateur radio club has been experimenting with a locally designed and built digital transmitter on a PC board device that couples with a Raspberry Pi, a single-board computer developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries. Using the Raspberry Pi and our home brew transmitter combination, the members of the club have been able to successfully transmit a beacon signal at very low wattage, and be heard all over the North American continent and parts of Europe.
The Raspberry Pi 3.0 device gets its power from a 2 watt USB power supply and supports and additional 4 USB slots. It also supports an Ethernet port and a micro SD slot so that additional software can be made available to the device's built in control software.
The home brew device is a circuit board (pcb) that plugs into the rPi 40-pin header. It boosts the signal level to about 200 mW and contains a seven pole low pass filter to keep out-of-band transmissions down by 45 dB. It also contains an LED the lights when transmitting and a crude output power indicator.
February 2017 - Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network - AREDN
"An Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN™) is a high speed data network built with Amateur Radio Operators and Emergency Communications Infrastructure in mind.
AREDN™ is self-configuring and self-healing. Where possible, AREDN™ will establish connections with as many other AREDN™ compatible devices (nodes) as possible and form a redundant mesh like network.
AREDN™ nodes automatically finds the “most reliable” nodes (greatest chance of success on packet delivery) to attempt delivery of the packets sent across the network. One need not know the exact path to get to the destination, only to know what the destination is."
From the national AREDN website: http://www.aredn.org
An AREDN mesh network is an implementation of a wireless data networks over amateur radio frequencies using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware such as 802.11 access points and D-STAR equipment. Only licensed amateur radio operators may use amplifiers and specialized antennas to increase the power and coverage of the 802.11 signal.
The BCARC amateur radio club has worked hard with other hams in Mobile and Baldwin County to establish a multi-node mesh network that will support an emergency communications network, should such be needed.
On a recent Saturday morning, some of the BCARC members met at the Lake Forest Yacht Club parking lot to setup a portable 40 ' mast which supported a high gain AREDN antenna. With the antenna connected to a laptop so as to monitor the access point's built in software, the group was able to connect to and see nearby nodes on the AREDN network.

Overview of the MATLAB Environment
The MATLAB?high-performance language for technical computing integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Typical uses include
• Math and computation
• Algorithm development
• Data acquisition
• Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
• Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
• Scientific and engineering graphics
• Application development, including graphical user interface building MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require dimensioning. It allows you to solve many technical computing problems, especially those with matrix and vector formulations,?in a fraction of the time it would take to write a program in a scalar noninteractive language such as C or Fortran.
The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB was originally
written to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK and EISPACK projects. Today, MATLAB engines incorporate the LAPACK and BLAS libraries, embedding the state of the art in software for matrix computation.
MATLAB has evolved over a period of years with input from many users. In university environments, it is the standard instructional tool for introductory and advanced courses in mathematics, engineering, and science. In industry, MATLAB is the tool of choice for high-productivity research, development, and analysis.
MATLAB features a family of add-on application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Very important to most users of MATLAB, toolboxes allow you to learn and apply specialized technology. Toolboxes are comprehensive collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems. You can add on toolboxes for signal processing, control systems, neural networks, fuzzy logic, wavelets, simulation, and many other areas.
The MATLAB System
The MATLAB system consists of these main parts:
Desktop Tools and Development Environment
This part of MATLAB is the set of tools and facilities that help you use and become more productive with MATLAB functions and files. Many of these tools are graphical user interfaces. It includes: the MATLAB desktop and Command Window, an editor and debugger, a code analyzer, browsers for viewing help, the workspace, and files, and other tools.
Mathematical Function Library
This library is a vast collection of computational algorithms ranging from elementary functions, like sum, sine, cosine, and complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated functions like matrix inverse, matrix eigenvalues, Bessel functions, and fast Fourier transforms.
The MATLAB language is a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements, functions, data structures, input/output, and object-oriented programming features. It allows both “programming in the small” to rapidly create quick programs you do not intend to reuse. You can also do?“programming in the large” to create complex application programs intended for reuse.
MATLAB has extensive facilities for displaying vectors and matrices as graphs, as well as annotating and printing these graphs. It includes high-level functions for two-dimensional and three-dimensional data visualization,?image processing, animation, and presentation graphics. It

Two-electrode voltage clamp in A and B. B) Current family after complete modification of the positively charged MTSET. This shows that 418C is very sensitive to modification. C) Another control recording similar to that in A. Cut-open oocyte voltage clamp in C and D. D) Addition of 60 μM oxaliplatin does not affect the currents.


There's no denying that technology makes our lives exponentially more convenient. Being able to control various items from the touch of a screen makes everyday life easier, but what if you could transfer that convenience into the home? Although smart home technology can be seen in a number of homes here in Southwest Florida, it seems as though we've only just scratched the surface. With so many new discoveries in the field of technology, you're about to see a surge when it comes to home building and design. It's true...the future of smart home technology is here.


From diagnosis to treatment, AI is revolutionizing the way medical professionals approach patient care.
By analysing vast amounts of data and offering invaluable insights, AI is helping doctors make more accurate diagnoses, develop personalised treatment plans, and enhance patient outcomes.
To understand the impact of AI on healthcare, TechRound spoke to the experts.
Here’s what they had to say:
Eliran Malki, CEO at Belong.life:
“AI is revolutionizing the healthcare industry in unimaginable ways. It enables healthcare providers to analyze vast amounts of data faster and more accurately than ever, leading to more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and improved patient outcomes.
“In the next five years, I believe AI in healthcare will continue to evolve, becoming even more sophisticated – it will be used everywhere and it’s a must have now. AI-powered virtual assistants, chatbots and predictive analytics tools will be widely implemented, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions. This technology has the potential to lower costs, burdens, and bureaucracy in healthcare, making it more efficient and accessible. However, the widespread implementation of AI in healthcare also brings ethical challenges and risk. There is a risk that AI algorithms will perpetuate biases, or incorrect results, leading to disparities in care. Additionally, there are concerns around privacy and security of patient data and the potential for AI to replace human healthcare providers.
“It is clear that patient-centered AI-powered virtual assistants are a transformative force in healthcare, changing the way services are delivered and consumed. It will make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and efficient for everyone.”

Mir was a space station that operated in low Earth orbit from 1986 to 2001, owned at first by the Soviet Union and then by Russia. Mir was the first modular space station and was assembled in orbit from 1986 to 1996. It had a greater mass than that of any previous spacecraft. It held the record for the largest artificial satellite orbiting the Earth until that record was surpassed by the International Space Station after Mir's deorbit on 21 March 2001. Mir served as a microgravity research laboratory in which crews conducted experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and spacecraft systems in order to develop technologies required for the permanent occupation of space.


A concept demonstration of the ebbits platform took place at the project review meeting on 15 September in Brussels. For the ebbits scenario Automotive Manufacturing, the focus was on showing how tracking the energy and water consumption of a welding robot can be used to optimise production.
During the meeting, ebbits partners presented a status update of first year activities and the advancements toward the definition of a middleware oriented platform enabling the convergence of the Internet of People, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services into the “Internet of People, Things and Services (IoPTS)” for business purposes. To illustrate the progress in the automotive scenario, a prototype of the ebbits platform was presented with the aim to highlight the potentials of ebbits-enabled IoPTS applications to manage production optimisation with special emphasis on energy consumption.
Tracking the energy and water consumption to assess efficiency more accurately
The demonstration emulates a welding cell with a single welding robot as shown on figure 1. The goal of the prototype is to quantify and track the energy and water consumption required for welding operations on a particular item. Such information can be used to assess the manufacturing process efficiency and the production cost in a more accurate way.
More specifically, the emulated scenario envisions a cell running an infinite production cycle where each cycle is focused on a single manufactured item. A PLC is in charge of controlling cell operations by interacting through a PROFINET field bus with the other cell elements i.e., Robot Controller and I/O interfaces. The I/O devices enable extraction of information from the cooling circuit and the power supply circuits. In the cooling circuit, two types of sensors are installed:
• A flux meter retrieves data concerning water usage/waste of the cooling system adopted for the welding transformer and the welding gun.
• Several thermometers are used to measure heat drained from the different devices that compose the welding circuit.
In the power supply circuit, two separate circuits for the robot axis power supply and for the welding power supply are considered. Using a voltmeter and an ammeter on each power supply, it is possible to collect data regarding power consumption.
Integration into the ebbits framework
The integration of the welding cell into the ebbits framework is performed through the PLC that is virtually connected to an ebbits gateway, in charge of extracting the information contained in its memory by using the OPC protocol. To this aim, a first preliminary prototype of the Physical World Adaptation Layer has been developed.
In this first prototype, most of the data gathered from sensors are simulated and inserted in the actual PLC memory according to the production step in which the manufacturing process is working. To this purpose, the demo includes a simulator able to interact with the PLC using the OPC protocol and to feed the simulated sensor data.
After retrieving information from the sensors inside the cell, the prototype is able to measure and log the instantaneous consumptions associating them to the current workpiece, properly identified e.g., by means of a barcode reader, from the actual PLC. The behaviour of the bar code reader is simulated as well. Multi-sensory fusion and context awareness algorithms are then applied to correlate and aggregate the collected measurements in order to generate reports or trigger alarms when an anomalous consumption is detected. More specifically, the system is able to infer whether the transformer is broken or a false positive is triggered by values sent by faulty sensors.
Figure 2 introduces the Graphical User Interace being used during the demonstration: It shows the current cell production status, the current values of the sensors, the information inferred for each produced item using Multi-sensory fusion and context awareness algorithms and, if needed, alert messages notifying sensors or transformer failures.
Showing the scalability of the project
Several field trials are planned to take place during the ebbits project. The next automotive manufacturing prototype is due in June 2012 and will include a selection of actual manufacturing sensors.
The last two prototypes, planned for June 2013 and June 2014, will show the partial/full set of ebbits features in a real world environment based on the previous field trials. For automotive manufacturing, it means working towards expanding the application to the whole manufacturing plant, correlating all the production lines and giving a full, easy-to-understand overview about the status of the whole manufacturing plant, hence demonstrating the scalability of the project.


The Nautilus-114, a rather expensive interstellar research spacecraft now lies marooned in the orbit of Jupiter's moon, io. The status of the crew is unknown.
Now, 5 months later, a recon unit (Norton and Ned) of the Federation One’s IAR team has arrived to study the causes behind the mysterious events and bring the craft back home at all costs. Once aboard they realize that the atmosphere is hostile and that failure is not an option.
The Rubiks Cube
Released in 2001, this digital version of the Rubik’s cube is what launched Atman Software.
The game features a 3D cube, complete with per-pixel lighting and shading, that you can rotate in multiple axes and solve the cube. And if you get stuck, the computer could even show you how to solve it. Heck, it even comes with a feature that lets you arrange the colors on the cube. So if you've already got a real Rubik’s cube and no clue how to solve it, then...well you could arrange the color patterns accordingly in-game and let the computer show you how.
Who we are
We are a very small team of artists and programmers.
Atman Software was founded in 1999 as both a computer graphics and game development company.
Our first computer game was a 3D simulation of the Rubik’s cube for MS-DOS. The game was released in 2001 and distributed as freeware.
We then released io for Windows and Mac in 2008, with a brand new game engine and 3D side-scrolling gameplay.
In 2009, io was released for the iOS platform.
In 2010, we expanded to an awesome six-person team and are currently working on a new product.
If you are interested in joining us, you may contact us here.
What we do
We develop software, from games to game engines to interactive visualization software for the PC, Mac and handheld devices.
We also provide technical training and consultation on all of the above.
