Artificial Eye

By Author – Rishabh Sontakke

 

An artificial eye is a replacement for a natural eye lost because of injury or disease. Although the replacement cannot provide sight, it fills the cavity of the eye socket and serves as a cosmetic enhancement. Before the availability of artificial eyes, a person who lost an eye used to wore a patch. An artificial eye can be attached to muscles in the socket to provide eye movement.

Today, most artificial eyes are made of plastic, with an average life of about 10 years. Children require more frequent replacement of the Artificial Eye due to rapid growth changes. As many as four or five?Artificial Eye?may be required from babyhood to adulthood.

According to the Society for the Prevention of Blindness, between 10,000 and 12,000 people per year lose an eye. Though 50% or more of these eye losses are caused by an accident (in one survey more males lost their eyes to accidents compared to females), there are a number of genetic conditions that can cause eye loss or require an artificial eye. Microphthalmia is a birth defect where for some unknown reason the eye does not develop to its normal size. These eyes are totally blind, or at best might have some light sensitivity.

 

Society is an artificial construction, a defense against natures power

?

Some people are also born without one or both eyeballs. Called anophthalmia.

Retinoblastoma is a congenital (existing at birth) cancer or tumor, which is usually inherited. If a person has this condition in just one eye, the chances of passing it on are one in four or 25%.

There are two key steps in replacing a damaged or diseased eye.

–First, an?ophthalmologist?or eye surgeon must remove the natural eye. There are two types of operations.

  • The enucleation removes the eyeball by severing the muscles, which are connected to the?sclera?(white of eyeball).
  • The surgeon then cuts the optic nerve and removes the eye from the socket.

–Second, An implant is then placed into the socket to restore lost volume and to give the artificial eye some movement, and the wound is then closed.

Evisceration – In this operation, the surgeon makes an incision around the iris and then removes the contents of the eyeball. A ball made of some inert material such as plastic, glass, or silicone is then placed inside the eyeball, and the wound is closed.

Conformer ? Here the surgeon will place an (a plastic disc) into the socket. The conformer prevents shrinking of the socket and retains adequate pockets for the Artificial Eye. Conformers are made out of silicone or hard plastic. After the surgery, it takes the patient from four to six weeks to heal. The artificial eye is then made and fitted by a professional.

Raw Materials

Plastic is the main material that makes up the artificial eye. Wax and plaster of Paris are used to make the molds. A white powder called alginate is used in the molding process. Paints and other decorating materials are used to add life-like features to the prosthesis.

 

The eyes are the mirror of the soul

?

The Manufacturing?Process

The time to make an optic Artificial Eye from start to finish varies with each ocularist and the individual patient. A typical time is about 3.5 hours. Ocularists continue to look at ways to reduce this time.

There are two types of Artificial Eye.

–The very thin, shell type is fitted over a blind, disfigured eye or over an eye which has been just partially removed.

–The full modified impression type is made for those who have had eyeballs completely removed. The process described here is for the latter type.

  1. The ocularist inspects the condition of the socket.

 

  1. The ocularist paints the iris. An iris button (made from a plastic rod using a lathe) is selected to match the patient’s own iris diameter.

 

  1. Next, the ocularist hand carves a wax molding shell. This shell has an aluminum iris button embedded in it that duplicates the painted iris button. The wax shell is fitted into the patient’s socket so that it matches the irregular periphery of the socket.

 

  1. The impression is made using alginate, a white powder made from seaweed that is mixed with water to form a cream. After mixing, the cream is placed on the back side of the molding shell and the shell is inserted into the socket.

 

  1. The iris color is then rechecked and any necessary changes are made.

 

  1. A plaster-of-Paris cast is made of the mold of the patient’s eye socket. After the plaster has hardened (about seven minutes), the wax and alginate mold are removed and discarded.

 

  1. The plastic has hardened in the shape of the mold with the painted iris button embedded in the proper place.

 

  1. The prosthesis is then returned to the cast. Clear plastic is placed in the anterior half of the cast and the two halves are again joined, placed under pressure, and returned to the hot water. The Artificial Eye is finally ready for fitting.

 

The eyes tell more than the word could ever say

 

The Future ?

?

Improvements will continue in the optic Artificial Eye, which will benefit both patient and ocularist. Several developments have already occurred in recent years. Artificial Eye with two different size pupils which can be changed back and forth by the wearer was invented in the early 1980s. In the same period, a soft contact lens with a large black pupil was developed that simply lays on the corner of the artificial eye.

In 1989, a patented implant called the Bio-eye was released by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Today, over 25,000 people worldwide have benefited from this development, which is made from hydroxyapatite, a material converted from ocean coral and has both the porous structure and chemical structure of bone. In addition to natural eye movement, this type of implant has reduced migration and extrusion and prevents dropping of the lower lid by lending support to the artificial eye via a peg connection.

With advancements in computer, electronics, and biomedical engineering technology, it may someday be possible to have an artificial eye that can provide sight as well. Work is already in progress to achieve this goal, based on advanced microelectronics and sophisticated image recognition techniques.

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University are also developing what will be the first artificial retina. This is based on a?biochip?that is glued to the ganglion cells, which act as the eye’s data concentrators. The chip is composed of a tiny array of etched-metal electrodes on the retina side and a single sensor with integrated logic on the pupil side. The sensor responds to a small?infrared?laser?that shines onto it from a pair of glasses that would be worn by the artificial-retinal recipient.

Introduction to Java

By Author – Rashmita Soge

 

Java is a programming language created by James Gosling from Sun Microsystems (Sun) in 1991. The target of Java is to write a program once and then run this program on multiple operating systems. The first publicly available version of Java (Java 1.0) was released in 1995. Sun Microsystems was acquired by the Oracle Corporation in 2010. Oracle has now the steermanship for Java. In 2006 Sun started to make Java available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Oracle continues this project called OpenJDK. Over time new enhanced versions of Java have been released. The current version of Java is Java 1.8 which is also known as Java 8.

Java is defined by a specification and consists of a programming language, a compiler, core libraries and a runtime (Java virtual machine) The Java runtime allows software developers to write program code in other languages than the Java programming language which still runs on the Java virtual machine. The Java platform is usually associated with the Java virtual machine and the Java core libraries.

What is java?

Java is a General Purpose, class-based, object-oriented, Platform independent, portable, Architecturally neutral, multithreaded, dynamic, distributed, Portable and robust interpreted Programming Language.

It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere” meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for

History of Java

Java is the brainchild of Java pioneer James Gosling, who traces Javas core idea of, Write Once, Run Anywhere back to work he did in graduate school.

After spending time at IBM, Gosling joined Sun Microsystems in 1984. In 1991, Gosling partnered with Sun colleagues, Michael Sheridan and Patrick Naughton on Project Green, to develop new technology for programming next-generation smart appliances. Gosling, Naughton, and Sheridan set out to develop the project based on certain rules. They were specifically tied to performance, security, and functionality. Those rules were that Java must be:

  1. Secure and robust
  2. High performance
  3. Portable and architecture-neutral, which means it can run on any combination of software and hardware
  4. Threaded, interpreted, and dynamic
  5. Object-oriented

Over time, the team added features and refinements that extended the heirloom of C++ and C, resulting in a new language called Oak, named after a tree outside Goslings office.

After efforts to use Oak for interactive television failed to materialize, the technology was re-targeted for the world wide web. The team also began working on a web browser as a demonstration platform.

Because of a trademark conflict, Oak was renamed, Java, and in 1995, Java 1.0a2, along with the browser, name HotJava, was released. The Java language was designed with the following properties:

  • Platform independent: Java programs use the Java virtual machine as abstraction and do not access the operating system directly. This makes Java programs highly portable. A Java program (which is standard-compliant and follows certain rules) can run unmodified on all supported platforms, e.g., Windows or Linux.
  • Object-orientated programming language: Except the primitive data types, all elements in Java are objects.
  • Strongly-typed programming language: Java is strongly-typed, e.g., the types of the used variables must be pre-defined and conversion to other objects is relatively strict, e.g., must be done in most cases by the programmer.
  • Interpreted and compiled language: Java source code is transferred into the bytecode format which does not depend on the target platform. These bytecode instructions will be interpreted by the Java Virtual machine (JVM). The JVM contains a so-called Hotspot-Compiler which translates performance critical bytecode instructions into native code instructions.
  • Automatic memory management: Java manages the memory allocation and de-allocation for creating new objects. The program does not have direct access to the memory. The so-called garbage collector automatically deletes objects to which no active pointer exists.

How Java Works?

To understand the primary advantage of Java, you’ll have to learn about platforms. In most programming languages, a compiler generates code that can execute on a specific target machine. For example, if you compile a C++ program on a Windows machine, the executable file can be copied to any other machine but it will only run on other Windows machines but never another machine. A platform is determined by the target machine along with its operating system. For earlier languages, language designers needed to create a specialized version of the compiler for every platform. If you wrote a program that you wanted to make available on multiple platforms, you, as the programmer, would have to do quite a bit of additional work.? You would have to create multiple versions of your source code for each platform.

Java succeeded in eliminating the platform issue for high-level programmers because it has reorganized the compile-link-execute sequence at an underlying level of the compiler. Details are complicated but, essentially, the designers of the Java language isolated those programming issues which are dependent on the platform and developed low-level means to abstractly refer to these issues. Consequently, the Java compiler doesn’t create an object file, but instead it creates a bytecode file which is, essentially, an object file for a virtual machine.? In fact, the Java compiler is often called the JVM compiler. To summarize how Java works, think about the compile-link-execute cycle. In earlier programming languages, the cycle is more closely defined as “compile-link then execute”. In Java, the cycle is closer to “compile then link-execute”.

Future of Java

Java is not a legacy programming language, despite its long history. The robust use of Maven, the building tool for Java-based projects, debunks the theory that Java is outdated. Although there are a variety of deployment tools on the market, Apache Maven has by far been one of the largest automation tools developers use to deploy software applications.

With Oracles commitment to Java for the long haul, its not hard to see why Java will always be a part of programming languages for years to come and will remain as the chosen programming language. 2017 will see the release of the eighth version of Java-Java EE 8.

Despite its areas for improvement, and threat from rival programming languages like.NET, Java is here to stay. Oracle has plans for a new version release in the early part of 2017, with new supportive features that will strongly appeal to developers. Javas multitude of strengths as a programming language means its use in the digital world will only solidify. A language that was inherently designed for easy use has proved itself as functional and secure over the course of more than two decades. Developers who appreciate technological changes can also rest assured the tried-and-true language of Java will likely always have a significant place in their toolset.

GPS aircraft tracking

By Author – Samata Shelare

 

GPS aircraft tracking is used in both commercial and personal aircraft, and it comes along with a variety of benefits both to safety and convenience. What a GPS does on an aircraft in terms of tracking is a lot different than what a GPS may do in your car. GPS tracking can help to ensure your position in the sky and keep you safe while going about a day of flying.
In order to understand the benefits of GPS aircraft tracking, one will first need to understand just how it works. A device with a GPS sensor is fixed into the aircraft, and it is able to transmit real-time GPS positions of any plane to a server board located on the ground. This sensor may be placed in a number of different areas or positions on the plane depending on the specific make and model, but all sensors work similarly in tracking a planes current position at any time. These positions can then be picked up on by air traffic controllers on the ground that will be able to locate airplanes of all sizes and at all elevations, within any given area and at any given time.
GPS aircraft tracking can provide a number of benefits, even outside of the obvious benefits involving safety. The use of this type of technology can help to calculate flight times to and from any number of destinations so that pilots can get a better understanding of their time of departure compared to the time of arrival, and it can also support in the finding of an aircraft in the instance of an accident. Additionally, GPS aircraft tracking can even be used in flight schools to allow pilots in training to follow a certain path or flight plan laid out by an instructor.
There are actually about 100 air traffic facilities already using the ADS-B, which is why they are able to give such a firm estimation of 2020. This is nearly half of the 230 air traffic facilities in the world. Aviation experts believe 2020 is a good estimate for when every one of these facilities will be using the technology, with more and more adding the technology over the next 16 years. The hardest part is simply equipping the planes with the new system.
Tracking planes during their flight isnt the only thing the ADS-B GPS tracking system can do. It also has the ability to provide weather and other pertinent information to pilots in real-time, so they have an as advanced warning as possible about the current environmental conditions that might impact their flying decisions.
One of the big issues in the past with the other 130 air traffic facilities is that it is easy to lose radar in certain areas of the world. As is most likely the case with the recent missing Malaysian Airlines plane, it was likely over water or in another location not easily tracked by the ground-based radar. This makes it difficult to track and almost impossible to find out what happened to it.
Feith also mentioned that some flights require the new GPS tracking technology because of flying over the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean and being more at risk for becoming lost during their flight.
GPS aircraft tracking is quite a bit different from the GPS technology we may use during our everyday lives in a car, but it provides the same amount of benefits when it comes to convenience, safety, and ease of navigation.

ARCTIC APPLE

By Author – Ashish Kasture

 

Now have a bite with more ease and says An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Why did the apple float over the surface of the water? Did you know?
Apples have 25% of antioxidant i.e oxygen, when undergoes oxidation apples start getting brown which is called browning. But our biotech giants came up with the apples which are non-browning apples.
Arctic Apple is the first genetically engineered apple to be approved for commercial sale. These apples are a group of trademarked apples that contain a non-browning trait, when the apples are subjected to mechanical damage, such as slicing or bruising, the apple flesh remains as its original color. This is the creation possible by Biotechnology and genetic engineering.
They were developed through a process of genetic engineering by Okanagan Specialty Fruits. Specifically, gene silencing reduces the expression of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), thus preventing the fruit from browning.
Developing non-browning Arctic apples relies on a technique called RNA-interference (RNAi). This approach enables silencing of PPO expression to less than 10% of its normal expression but does not change other aspects of the apple. The RNAi process is accomplished through the use of a transgene that uses gene sequences that control PPO production. Promoter and terminator gene sequences are used to support the implementation of PPO suppression genes, as is a marker gene which produces a protein called NPTII that makes the plant tissue resistant to the antibiotic kanamycin, allowing transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics. This step is used to confirm that silencing PPO was successful.These non-browning apples are delicious, convenient and good for us. Discover apple varieties, uncover some of your favorite apple recipes, and learn more about the benefits of non-browning apples. Non-browning apples are more appealing and convenient, so more apples get eaten and fewer are wasted. Arctic apples are tasty, healthy grab and go snacks you’re sure to reach for, time and time again. Arctic apples arent slow browning. They aren’t low browning. They’re non-browning! By silencing the enzyme that causes apples to brown when bitten, sliced or bruised popular apple varieties like Golden Delicious and Granny Smith can be enhanced with the Arctic Advantage.
Okanagan Specialty Fruits, the grower-led team behind non-browning Arctic apples, was founded in 1996 by apple orchardist Neal Carter. Neal saw that apple consumption had been declining for decades while obesity rates skyrocketed, and he knew there must be a way to help get more people eating more apples.
There’s no question that consumers are demanding more convenience than ever, especially from our food. Whats the special about these apples? The browning of course! It may surprise you to learn that apples are among the most wasted foods on the planet around 40% of whats grown is thrown out. So many delicious apples get wasted only because of browning.
Non-browning apples don’t just reduce waste, they can also boost consumption. For instance, apple slices are a great grab-and-go snack, but they must either be eaten quickly or treated with something to slow their browning, which can add time, costs and an unpleasant off-taste. Snacking now makes up about 50% of eating occasions in the U.S., so making apples more convenient and snackable really is a no-brainer. With Arctic apples, you and your family can enjoy apples with convenience and taste to back up their good looks ? meaning healthy, delicious apple snacking is easier than ever.
Browning in apples is of two types? primary (or, enzymatic) browning and secondary browning. Secondary browning generally refers to the discoloration that occurs when an apple is beginning to decompose due to fungi and bacteria; in other words, when the fruit is rotting.
Primary browning in apples, on the other hand, takes place when the fruits phenolic compounds react with oxygen. This oxidation process is driven by an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase (PPO). When apple cells are ruptured ? for example, by bruising, biting or cutting, the browning reaction begins when PPO found in one part of the cell is able to react with phenolic compounds found elsewhere in the cell.Just as different plants have varying levels of PPO, there is a wide range of PPO levels among the 5,000+ apple varieties in existence. Some existing apple varieties turn brown more slowly than others, which can be due to a number of factors:
The various varieties of apples may have high levels of certain acids, such as malic and citric acids, which impedes the PPO/phenolic reaction. It may be low in the phenolic substrate so the reaction just doesn’t happen as intensively. It may have stronger cell walls, which reduces the mixing of PPO and phenolics. It may have naturally low levels of PPO. But, even slow or low browning apples do experience enzymatic browning; Arctic apples do not because there is insufficient enzyme to drive the oxidation reaction. The main motive is to provide the people with great ease to have an apple of their choice and can eat even if they’re busy because these apples are not going to brown that is called non-browning apples.

GEAR DE-BURRING MACHINE

Gear deburring is a process that has changed substantially over the past 10 years. There have been advancements in the types of tools used for deburring operations and the development of “wet” machines, automatic load and unload, automatic part transfer and turnover, and vision systems for part identification, etc.

Three types of tools are used in the gear deburring process, including grinding wheels, brushes, and carbide tools. A discussion of each method is as follows.

Grinding Wheels
There are many wheel grits available, from 320 grit for small burrs and light chamfers, to 57 grit for large burrs and heavy chamfers, with numerous grit sizes in between. Grinding wheels will usually provide the required cosmetic appearance for a deburred gear. Setting up the grinding wheel is critical for good wheel life and consistent chamfers. The point of contact for the grinding wheel should be equal to the approach angle of the grinding head. For example, set a 45 approach angle for the grinding head with a protractor. Next, draw a line through the center of the grinding wheel followed by a line drawn 45 to the first line. The contact point between the gear and the grinding wheel should be at the 45 line.

The size of the chamfer attainable is determined by the size of the burr to be removed from the part. Further, three additional factors that affect chamfer size are wheel grit size, the speed of the work spindle, and the amount of pressure applied to the part by the grinding wheel. Grinding wheel speed is noted on the grinding wheel, and it is usually 15,000 to 18,000 RPM. The grinding wheels used most often are aluminum oxide.

Brushes
Parts with small burrs can be effectively deburred with a brush. Two types of brushes are used for deburring operations, those being wire and nylon. Wire brushes are made with straight, crimped, or knotted bristles. The wire diameter and length will determine how aggressively the brush will deburr. Nylon brushes can be impregnated with either aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, with grit size ranging from 80 to 400. The specific application will determine which type of brush is required. In applications where a heavy burr is to be removed with a grinding wheel or carbide tool, a brush is often used as a secondary process for removing small burrs created by the first process.
Carbide Tools
The use of carbide deburring tools is a relatively new development. There are three advantages to using carbide tools:
? Reduced deburring time. The carbide tools can run at 40,000 RPM, vs. 15,000 to 18,000 RPM for grinding wheels.

? Reduced setup time, because there is no need to establish an approach angle as with a grinding wheel.

? Ability to deburr cluster gears, or gears having the root of the tooth close to the gear shaft or hub.
Deburring Machine Features
The deburring process is accomplished with floating-style deburring heads having variable RPM air motors or turbines. The floating heads have air-operated, adjustable counterweights for adjusting the pressure applied to the part being deburred.
The floating heads can use grinding wheels, brushes, or carbide tools, and change-over from one to the other can be accomplished in a matter of minutes, providing versatility for doing a number of different parts on one machine.
ADVANTAGES:
1. Quick action clamping.
2. Precise indexing.
3. Multi-module indexer makes all range of spur gear de-burring possible
4. Fast action de-burring due to the sequential operation of the grinding head and indexer mechanism
5. Low-cost automation.
6. The flexibility of circuit design / can be converted into the fully automatic mode with minimal circuit components.
7. Low-cost automation process
8. Saves labor cost and monotony of operation.

APPLICATIONS:
1. Machine tool manufacturing industry.
2. Agriculture machinery manufacturing.
3. Molded gear industry.
4. Timer pulley manufacturing.
5. Sprocket and chain wheel manufacturing ..etc.

ReactJS

What is React?

React is a front-end library developed by Facebook. It is used for handling the view layer for web and mobile apps.

React is a library for building composable user interfaces. It encourages the creation of reusable UI components, which present data that changes over time. Lots of people use React to the V in MVC (Model View Controller). React abstracts away the DOM (Document Object Model) from you, offering a simpler programming model and better performance. React can also render on the server using Node, and it can power native apps using React Native. React implements one-way reactive data flow, which reduces the boilerplate and is easier to reason about than traditional data binding.

What is ReactJS?

ReactJS allows us to create reusable UI components. It is currently one of the most popular JavaScript libraries and has a strong foundation and large community behind it.

If you want to work with ReactJS, you need to have solid knowledge of?JavaScript, HTML5, and?CSS. Even though ReactJS doesn’t use HTML, the JSX is similar so your HTML knowledge will be very helpful.

Capabilities of ReactJS:-

  • JSX JSX is JavaScript syntax extension. It isn’t necessary to use JSX in React development, but it is recommended.
  • Components React is all about components. One need to think of everything as a component. This will help maintain the code when working on larger scale projects.
  • Unidirectional data flow and Flux React implements one-way data flow which makes it easy to reason about the app. Flux is a pattern that helps to keep your data unidirectional.
  • License React is licensed under the Facebook Inc. Documentation is licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Advantages of ReactJS:-

?

Adaptability

One of the most heartwarming features of React JS is its adaptability. What makes react perfectly is the capacity to get adopted with ease and convenience. Because of the short list of lifecycle approaches, this is very easy to understand and use. With the advent of ES2015 and ES2016, a more functional and user-friendly programming has become a cyber norm and render function of React JS makes it easy for React JS to comply with a user-friendly and functional programming style.

Usefulness of JSX
The separation of HTML from Java is still a hot debate among programmers. The makers of React JS believe that this separation is indeed a very shallow one as both of them were very well integrated. Thus they introduce JSX and React JS features make it very easy because JSX makes the reasoning of a module easier than ever.

?Free and OpenSource
If a software is free and it is open source, there is needless to say that it is going to be the new favorite of programmers and relevant community. React JS usage is although subject to the curation by Facebooks developers, it is still free and open source, which gives you a chance to get codes developed by elite and most enthusiastic developers.

?SCMA Script
Programmer community believes that React JS features will touch new heights because of the availability of ECMAScipt6 and 7. While the latter is still in progress, its features are being used by big-shot libraries. With help of any good ES transpiler, you can use these stunning features.

?Decorators from ES7
As it has been mentioned before, you do not need to wait for the ES7 features being supported by the Internet Explorer; you can use a transpiler for that. Decorators are one of the most useful features of React JS and they allow you to augment a functions behavior by simply wrapping that in a different function.

Server-side Communication
One of the main reasons why people expect a mass use of React JS is because of React JS features like server-side communication. The library of React JS empowers the programmers by giving them lifecycle hooks to enable the service requests. With help of this feature, you understand the mechanism of XHR requests and thus easily update your library to use them.

Light Railing for Applications
React JS is being used by different companies, developers, and programmers, but one reason why every IT company should consider React JS features, is its lifecycle methods, state and props capacity to provide enough railing to create useful apps. This railing, however, would not smother the free use of different libraries.

Asynchronous Functions & Generators
One of the main reasons for the immense React JS usage is the asynchronous functions and generators offered by ES6. The freedom to pause and resume the execution of a JavaScript function makes these generators popular among developers and programmers.

Flux Library
Like it has been said, React JS is actually a library made of Java scripts. Flux is one of the best libraries that complement React JS and make it very easy for the programmers to manage data across the whole application.

Destructuring Assignments
In ES6, Destructuring Assignments were introduced to the programmers. They allow the programmers to bring a compound object on the left side of an assignment. Having such an amazing feature, one can save some keystrokes and also load only a subset of a required module.
Out verdict goes in favor of React JS and considering very useful features that React JS introduces to the community, we can predict that React JS features will only make it skyrocket in the coming years.

Disadvantages of ReactJS

  1. The high pace of development:?The environment constantly changes, and developers must regularly relearn the new ways of doing things. Everything is evolving, and some developers are not comfortable with keeping up with such a pace.
  2. Poor documentation:?The problem with documentation traces back to constant releases of new tools. Different and new libraries like Redux and Reflux are promising to accelerate the work of a library or improve the entire React ecosystem. Developers struggle with integrating these tools with ReactJS.

Some members of the community think that React technologies are updating and accelerating so fast that there is no time to write proper instruction.

?HTML in my JavaScript!???JSX as a barrier

ReactJS uses?JSX. Some members of the development community consider JSX to be a serious disadvantage. Developers and designers complain about JSXs complexity and consequent steep learning curve.

React isn’t a framework

The looseness with which React can be employed is great for experimentation but challenging when you’re trying to do things the?right?way. Knowing there isn’t one yet will save you some time here.

Future Generation Mobile Phone -NOKIA MORPH TECHNOLOGY

No doubt that everybody is aware of the campaign Nokia- Connecting People. Nokia, from always has been the other name for Reinvention. People all over the globe found Nokia useful and trustworthy in both hardware and software. People found OS highly user-friendly that is used in Nokia mobile. Nokia creates the technology to connect the world. Lets know something about Nokia.
Nokia is a Finnish multinational corporation founded on the 12 May 1865 as a single paper mill operation. Through the 19th century, the company expanded, branching into several different products. In 1967, the Nokia Corporation was formed. In the late 20th century, the company took advantage of the increasing popularity of computer and mobile phones. However, increased competition and other market forces caused changes in Nokia’s business arrangements. In 2014, Nokia was sold to Microsoft. However, the use of Nokia branding and Nokia’s licensed technology continues. This was all about Nokia. Every successful company has some pros and cons, and so as with Nokia. There was a time when Nokia sold itself to Microsoft. There is the big story behind it, It all started in January 2013 with a phone call from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to Nokia Chairman Risto Siilasmaa. Both Nokia and Microsoft were frustrated with the single digit market share of Windows Phone, despite both companies pouring money into marketing. Four main meetings resulted in the deal. Steve Ballmer at one point tripped over a glass table during meetings, resulted in a gash on his forehead. The deal stalled over both sides not seeing eye-to-eye on how much Nokia was worth and the value of HERE services.

We never did anything wrong but somehow we lost
Nokia CEO

This seems sad but Nokia never gives up. They are back with the motivation to achieve success once. This will of course take time, but not Failure.
As they never give up they are back with a new innovative idea NOKIA MORPH

Now, what is NOKIA MORPH?
The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia. The concept, which was unveiled on February 25, 2008, at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Centre. The device was presented as part of the museum’s “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibit. According to Bob Iannucci, Nokia’s chief technology officer, the “Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices… The Morph concept shows what might be possible.”
The device, which is non-functional, is intended to provide a conceptual showcase for future applications of nanotechnology in the realm of consumer electronics. The phone’s theoretical feature list would include the ability to bend into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist or held up to the face; transparent electronics, which would allow the device to be see-through yet functional; self-cleaning surfaces that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone’s battery; and a wide range of fully integrated sensors. Nokia released a computer-generated video demonstrating the capabilities the Morph might have if it were a real mobile phone. The manufacturer believed that some of the device’s imagined features could appear in high-end devices by 2015.
On an iPhone, you touch on the digital keyboard and you know how the letter pops up and shows up bigger so youre making sure you are touching the correct letter? Thats Nokia Innovation

Some of its highlights will be:
Changing Design: Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three-dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.
A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touchpads. Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, and could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.
Self-Cleaning: Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity. Nanostructured surfaces, such as Nanoflowers naturally repel water, dirt, and even fingerprints utilizing effects also seen in natural systems.
Solar Power Source: Nanotechnology holds out the possibility that the surface of a device will become a natural source of energy via a covering of Nanograss structures that harvest solar power. At the same time, new high energy density storage materials allow batteries to become smaller and thinner, while also quicker to recharge and able to endure more charging cycles.
Nokia Morph, Wrist-mode
Environment Sensation: Nanosensors would empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution to gaining insight into biochemical traces and processes. New capabilities might be as complex as helping us monitor evolving conditions in the quality of our surroundings, or as simple as knowing if the fruit we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it. Our ability to tune into our environment in these ways can help us make key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance our health.
Beneficial or Not?
In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.
Will this phone be on the market soon?
Elements of Morph might be available in the market to integrate into handheld devices within 7 years, though initially only at the high-end. However, nanotechnology may one day lead to low-cost manufacturing solutions, and offers the possibility of integrating complex functionality at a low price.
Is Nokia working such technologies?
Nokia Research Center is working on technology up to seven years in the future and creating concepts that challenge conventional practices and spark new innovations.
How would mobile phones look like in the future?
Nanotechnology is just one key future research area for NRC, but an important one that will give us the freedom to design materials by manipulating atoms and molecules at the nanometer level. It hence has the potential of being both evolutionary and revolutionary when applied to mobile technology. A few years from now, phones will have new and innovative features different to the ones that are widely used today.

Nokia was number 1 for 14 years and still has the chance to be so again

The Future Of Business – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Technological Innovations have been the fundamental drivers of economic growth for more than 250 years. Most important of these are the steam engine, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. For example, The Internal Combustion Engine gave rise to cars, trucks, Airplanes, Chainsaws, Big-Box retailers, Shopping Centers, etc.
The most important general-purpose technology of our era is Artificial Intelligence.
Humans are more likely to work with the smart machine in the digital enterprises of the future than being ousted by them, but the possibility of economic and social disruption needs to be on the political agenda.
In the sphere of business, AI is poised to have a transformational impact, on the scale of earlier general- purpose technologies. The effects of AI will be magnified in the coming decade, as Manufacturing, Retailing, Entertainment, Education and Virtually every other Industry transform their core process and business models to take advantages of machine learning.
We see business plans liberally sprinkled with references to machine learning, neural nets and another form of technology. For example, simply calling a dating site AI-Powered, doesnt make it any more effective, but it might help in fundraising.
Artificial Intelligence is not about building a mind; its about the improvement of tools to solve problems.

Business Opportunity in Artificial Intelligence

Human x Process x Data = BUSINESS VALUE

HUMAN-
Improving the relationship between people and machines.AI will improve how we live and work as individuals and a society. People will be able to spend more time on creative work. People and AI will Co-evolve, improving peoples life and IQ. People who design, build and program them will also be smarter. As people will be smarter machine will also be smarter.
PROCESS-
AI technologies will reinvent processes, removing not only time and distance but also human limitations. There will be a number of tools that will help in Business Process. Such as,
-Which next step the employee should take,
-The decision of action to be taken or not.
-Select an employee for particular task depending on previous work data of employee.
-Root cause analysis of Business loss.
-Business improvement deals and many more

DATA-
Combining AI and machine learning with Data will make the process more efficient. We are in the era where computers are capable of programming themselves. They will update algorithm with data by themselves to evolve faster. Artificial Intelligence will use important data to improve business to large extent.
A year spent in Artificial Intelligence is enough to make one believe in God

Sophia ? A Humanoid Robot
A great Achievement towards Artificial Intelligence is the robot SOPHIA. Sophia was developed by a Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. In October 2017, the robot became a Saudi Arabian citizen, the first robot to receive citizenship of any country. Cameras within Sophias eyes allow her to see. She can follow faces and recognize individuals. She is able to have a conversation using Alphabets Google Chrome voice recognition technology and SingularityNET, which powers her brain.Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015. She is modeled after actress Audrey Hepburn and is known for her humans like appearance and behavior. The information is shared in the cloud that helps Sophia to learn things. Many robots like Sophia are connected to a particular cloud, such that whatever Sophia will learn will get updated to cloud helping other robots to automatically learn.
Sophia has been interviewed in the same manner as a human. Some replies have been nonsensical and some impressed interviewers so much. In the future robots like Sophia might go to school, study, make art, Startup business and even have its own home and family. They might also serve Therapy, Healthcare, Education and Customer service.
Robots such as Sophia, if programmed for business then it can perform excellently for business growth reducing human effort and guiding executives successfully throughout a particular Business.
Artificial intelligence will be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted and it would give you the right thing. We are getting incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on
There are some ways where AI can be used into business.
Assisted Intelligence is improving whatever people and organizations are already doing.
Augmented Intelligence is in the beginning stage now. It will enable companies to do things they couldnt do.
Autonomous Intelligence is still in developing process and is about creating and deploying machines that will work on their own.
While possible impacts of AI is very broad. For example, If a customer calls a company, company agents take them to a Series of the question so the customer can be added to various systems. It’s only when the agent can deal with the particular problem. If AI is introduced that can automatically complete the onboarding process, the experience becomes easier and efficient for both agent and computer.
What AI can do in future is beyond our imagination, but the base of future AI technology has already been started. There is number of AI tools that most of the Top Companies are using. Top 10 Artificial Intelligence tools are listed below :
1-Textio
2-Conversica
3-X.ai
4-Guru
5-Tamar
6-Digital Genius
7-Quill
8-Recorded Future
9-Intra pexion
10-DataRPM
Above listed Tools are efficient in different fields such as; Prediction technology, Sales assistant, Smart assistant (handles meeting request), Tracking tool (keep track on the calendar, track events, meetings, etc.), Data Integration, Natural Language Processing, Threat intelligence etc.

Computers will overtake humans with AI within the next 100 years. When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have GOALS ALIGNED WITH US

Introduction of Ruby

Ruby is an object-oriented programming language. It is a dynamic and open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity and has elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. Ruby also has a core class library with a rich & powerful API. It is inspired by other low level and object-oriented programming languages like Lisp, Smalltalk, and Perl and uses syntax that is easy for C and Java programmers to learn.

Ruby is designed to be simple, complete, extensible and portable. Developed mostly on Linux, ruby works across most platforms, such as most UNIX-based platforms, DOS, Windows, Macintosh, BeOS, and OS/2. Ruby is simple syntax and makes it readable by anyone who is familiar with any modern programming language.

History of Ruby???

Ruby developed by Yukihiro Matsumoto. He has said that Ruby was conceived in 1993. In a 1999 post to the ruby-talk mailing list, he describes some of his early ideas about the language.

Matsumoto describes the design of Ruby as being like a simple Lisp language at its core, with an object system like that of Smalltalk, blocks inspired by higher-order functions, and practical utility like that of Perl.

The name “Ruby” originated during an online chat session between Matsumoto and Keiju Ishitsuka on February 24, 1993, before any code had been written for the language. Initially, two names were proposed coral and “Ruby”. Matsumoto chose the latter in a later e-mail to Ishitsuka. Matsumoto later noted a factor in choosing the name “Ruby”. It was the birthstone of one of his colleagues.

Ruby was designed to streamline the tasks typically involved in programming for the web, i.e dynamically generating web pages, accessing databases and retrieving information from the web server and the users browser. The general purpose nature of ruby makes sit suitable for a wide range of programming called tasks just like Perl, Python & other general purpose languages. The key features of ruby focus on developer happiness ease to use, making it a good language for those just learning to program and for those to get more done with less code. It is pervasive object-oriented features also make it very intuitive.

Future of Ruby

Here is some reason that makes it important for you to start implementing Ruby:

Feature-filled language:- It is quite impressive, combining some really great features of all dynamic languages, taking ideas from the best, strongly-typed as well as static languages to blend them into an object-oriented paradigm to get maximum things done without writing a huge amount of code. The code is less but better-structured which makes editing, reusing, experimentation as well as iteration quite easy.

Open source:- This language is open source; not only that, the community around it, is helpful as well as thriving. The language itself is great with a really idealistic user experience, which makes it attractive to be used by new developers.

Code-based data model:- For Ruby on Rails, data model has to be defined with code. After the creation of initial data model, changes must be made with the help of scripts to manipulate the model.

Well documented:- The language is extremely well documented. The web contains a huge number of resources like high quality, effective and fun to follow video tutorials which are available both for pay as well as free. These are better than many books. There are huge support groups as well as communities which can help you in case you are facing some kind of problem.

Tool options:- The system is relatively simple with a good amount of IDEs for development. Additionally, the ecosystem of ruby has plenty of excellent tools which fulfill almost any need that they arise in the minds of a developer; on top of that most of those tools are open source or free. So this is a good place to work if you want an ecosystem that boasts of topflight tools support.

Rapid development model:- Convention and not configuration is what decides the development model of Ruby on Rails. This simply means that once you have learned to do things in the way that the language expects you to do, then many heavy lifting will be done by it on your behalf. Your work will be very quick, especially in case of many kinds of development tasks.

Advantages over PHP:- There are a number of advantages to using this platform instead of PHP. One of them is that developers do not simply like using it anymore; their impatience, as well as frustration, has grown with the language. PHP is very easy to use with lax rules which make it easy for youre to write bad codes. In fact, in case of alterations, additions or catching of random bugs, correcting everything becomes time-consuming as well as expensive.

4G Wi-Fi Revolution

Wi-Fi is an extremely powerful resource that connects people, business, and increasingly the Internet of Things. It is used in our homes, colleges, businesses, favorite cafes, buses, and many of our public spaces. However, it is also a hugely complex technology. Designing, deploying, and maintaining a successful WLAN is no easy task, the goal is to make that task easier for WLAN administrators of all skill levels through education, knowledge-sharing, and community participation etc.
Any malls, restaurants, hotel, and any other service station, Wi-Fi seems to be active. While supplemental downlink channels are 20MHZ, each the Wi-Fi channels could be 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz or even 160MHz. On many moments I had to switch off my Wi-Fi as the speed so poor & and go back to using 4G.
On my smartphone, most days I get 30/40mbps download speed and it works perfectly superb for all my needs. The only one reason that we would need higher speeds is to do a chain and use the laptop for work, watching a video, play games, listen to music, download anything that you want. Most of the people I know that they work with don’t require gigabit speed at the moment.
Once a user that is receiving high-speed data on their device using LTE-U / LAA creates a Wi-Fi hotspot, it may use the same 5GHZ channels as the once that the network is using for supplemental downlink. The user always asking why their download speed fall as soon as they switch WI-FI on.
The fact is that in a rural area & even general built-up areas, operates do not have to worry about the network being overloaded and use their licensed range. nobody is planning to place LTE-U / LAA in these areas. In the dense area and ultra areas, there are many more users, and many more wi-fi access points, ad-hoc wi-fi networks and many other sources of involvement.
