Project loon

By
Although internet has become such a handy thing for people having access to internet that they roam about with it in their pockets, but this has been possible for those countries that can afford fibre optic cables for connectivity and therefore the bitter truth remains that nearly two-thirds of the world population do not yet have internet access. The Google[X] team has therefore taken an initiative to bridge this gap and make the world actually connected to one another by introducing Google’s Project Loon.

WHAT IS PRIOJECT LOON:

 “Google’s Project Loon” – a network of balloons travelling on the edge of space – is designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, helping fill coverage gaps, and bringing people back online after natural disasters. 
Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes and the weather. 
They are carried around the Earth by winds and they can be steered by rising or descending to an altitude with winds moving in the desired direction. 
People connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna attached to their building. 
The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, then to the global Internet back on Earth. 

ENVELOPE:

Project Loon’s balloon envelopes are made of :-
 sheets of polyethylene plastic and stand fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall when fully inflated. 
  A parachute attached to the top of the envelope allows for a controlled descent and landing whenever a balloon is ready to be taken out of service.
Each unit’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels. These panels produce 100 Watts of power.

ITS MOVEMENT IN WIND:

Winds in the stratosphere  (10 to 60 km of altitude)are  steady and slow-moving  between 5 and 20 mph, and each layer of wind varies in direction. 
Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go.
ADVANTAGES:
This project will offer worldwide access to everyone those who are as per now beyond the geographic reach of  internet.
It  provides connectivity at speeds comparable to 3G for  about area of 40 km in diameter.
Wireless connection to the Web available for free to every person in the world.
 It would offer a humanitarian communication system

Wi-vi the wifi vision

By
ABSTRACT: A new technology known as  Wi-Vi is bouncing up with a good progress.It is similar Radar and Sonar imaging..it depends on radio signals  of wifi.I monitor movements of people in closed rooms or behind a wall. Wi-Vi was created by Dina Katabi ,a professor  in MIT,and her graduate student Fadel Adib. Wi-Vi technology can detect number of humans in a closed room. Enable communication through a wall without carrying a wireless device.Identify simple gestures from behind a wall. This Wi-Vi signals uses Wi-Fi signals,as Wi-Fi signals can penetrate through walls. Wi-Vi relies on a simple hardware of 2.GHz  Wi-Fi radios small enough to be portably used.Integrated in hand held devices.Low power Wi-Fi signals are used. A Wi-Vi system constitutes-  1.Two transmitting antennas 2.single receiver. This technology is based on principle of Rada and Sonar.Radar and Sonar works on Doppler effect. This technology uses reflected Wi-Fi signals...

Brain chips

By
Introduction: Thousands of people around the world suffer from paralysis they need to depend on some one for even some basic   tasks brain chips can become  a handy at this case .Brains are made with a view to enhance the memory of human beings, to help paralyzed patients, and are also intended to serve military purposes. It is likely that implantable computer chips acting as sensors, This is like a implantable computer chip in brain. This consists of both biological and electronic term's. A chip in the Braingate system is of 100 hair thin electrodes.It senses electromagnetic signature of Neutrons.The Brain chip provides fast and reliable connection between the brain of a severely disabled person and personal computer. Braingate is a technology is a technology by which the electrical signal is exchanged by neurons within the brains are used to execute body moment .  Hardware of brain chips  It mainly consists of. Four parts ->chips: A Four ...

The truth about hacking

By
The Process of attempting to gain or successfully    gaining, unauthorized access to computer resources   is called   Hacking. Hacking is been a part of Computer for over 40 year's.The first hacker is from MIT In  the  computer  security  context,  a  hacker  is someone who  seeks  and  exploits  weaknesses  in  a  computer system  or  computer  network.  The programers prefer to refer them as crakers. This are the main reasons for hacker to hack a system. -Just for fun. -Show off. -Notify many people their thought. -Steal important information. -Destroy enemy’s computer network during the war. Hacking is mainly divided into two types - ethical hacking - unethical hacking Ethical hacking is where a person hacks to find weaknesses in a system and then usually patches them.This is Often done to protect from. Hacking Unethical hacking  is often ...
