The i phone ,designed and marketed by Apple Inc., is known for it's touch screen feature and it's outlook.The graphics and sleek design add to it's beauty.
Using touch screen phones like i phone become impossible in cold climates when the fingers become numb and gloves take place over our hands. Thus it becomes virtually impossible to navigate the i phones.In such conditions,we are to remove the gloves for using i phones,ATMs,gas stations, checkout counters and feel the cold.
Coming up latest in the nanotech world is an answer to combat such conditions. Brought up by TouchTec are their new nano-technology-impregnated gloves . You can use the i phones wearing these gloves and can remove them only when you want to.
These gloves are developed by inventor Jerry Leto. TouchTec gloves use nano-impregnated textiles which induce the capacitive properties of the human hand in them.In simple language,our hands need not be inserted in them to make use of their functionality.
However,these are not first of it's kind. Some gloves which let you expose just your fingertips, others having metal beads on them(which may result in scratches on the screen) are already launched in the nanoworld.But Leto undergoing their features finds these tend to react too strongly to external temperature. Even most of these solutions limit the capacity to a number of distinct points on the gloves.
Overcoming these technical problems,the TouchTec's models are capacitive all over--pretty much like our skin.
The process, which Leto says "starts at the tanning level" for leather and is better for fabrics,has already resulted in ready products.Now the gloves are available at Gaspar Gloves, a designer boutique which has crafted glove designs for various sci-fi and action animated movies like Batman, X-Men, and The Changeling.Price starts at $185.
More affordable versions would be available in the market (in the range of $85 to $125) soon.
Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science which aims at creating intelligent machines, where an intelligent machine is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success. Automatic (machine) recognition, description, classification, and grouping of patterns are important problems in a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines such as biology, psychology, medicine, marketing, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing. But what is a pattern? Watanabe defines a pattern as opposite of a chaos; it is an entity, vaguely defined, that could be given a name. For example, a pattern could be a fingerprint image, a handwritten cursive word, a human face, or a speech signal.
Pattern recognition is the study of how machines can observe the environment, learn to distinguish patterns of interest from their background, and make sound and reasonable decisions about the categories of the patterns. Given a pattern, its recognition/classification may consist of one of the following two tasks :-
1) supervised classification (e.g., discriminant analysis) in which the input pattern is identified as a member of a predefined class,
2) unsupervised classification (e.g., clustering) in which the pattern is assigned to a hitherto unknown class.
An important point to note here is that the recognition problem here is being posed as a classification or categorization task, where the classes are either defined by the system designer (in supervised classification) or are learned based on the similarity of patterns (in unsupervised classification).
Interest in the area of pattern recognition has been renewed recently due to emerging applications which are not only challenging but also computationally more demanding . These applications include data mining (identifying a pattern, e.g., correlation, or an outlier in millions of multidimensional patterns), document classification (efficiently searching text documents), financial forecasting, organization and retrieval of multimedia databases, and biometrics (personal identification based on various physical attributes such as face and fingerprints).
So to say my dear friends the field of pattern recognition is so vast that I'm unable to mention every thing here.Moreover I,myself, is working on a part of it that is face,iris and fingerprint recognition.
I will post more information on these topics in my next articles.

Ask yourself if you have several solutions for Windows if you want to use VoIP? There are. The software ranges from soft phone to complete switchboard. An example of a simple program is a soft phone. If you type this program on your computer you can put your computer as an appliance. This type of program file is usually put on a computer with the Windows versions XP, Vista and 7. You realize this type of program no high demands on your computer system.
A telephone contrast likely be installed on a server. Microsoft Server Operating Systems are supported including Windows 2003/2008 Server and Windows Small Business Server 2003/2008. Several stations support the installation of the package on the PC version of Windows but this is not recommended. You do not want other programs on that PC interrupt the telephone.
It is not always necessary for a dedicated server for this task to take. You'll have to ask your system administrator how the load is the current server to see if there is enough margin of capacity to the telephone service is still there to run. Most manufacturers do have a technical document with a formula that you can drop in the number of users or calls that can be processed simultaneously without delays or interruptions.
One advantage of a VoIP solution using Windows is probably the technical department have to learn any new operating systems and can provide immediate support. Manufacturers themselves by the deployment of Windows often a faster response ready to use by drawing from experience of other implementations.
Study well the technical specifications you need. Observe any outstanding requirements and expected expansion. It is understandable that you fully charge server immediately, keep in mind the extra capacity. This will guarantee you a good working system with satisfied users.
Windows 7, the latest Operating System going to be released by Microsoft in 2010 has a lot of security tweaks. These include:
- Fine Tune User Account Control (UAC)
- BitLocker To Go for encrypting removable flash drives
- Removing personal information from Office Documents
- Windows Update
- Windows BackUp and Restore
- Preventing Spammers in MSN / Windows Live Messenger
- Action Center to view various alerts
- Windows Live Family Safety
- Windows Firewall
- Scanning and removal of malicious viruses
Isn't these security tweaks in Windows 7 useful?
I was introduced to internet a few years back and now I am in love with this service which makes our life so easy, all what we want are just few mouse clicks away from us. The features I use the most are email, searching, free web and blog hosting, sharing, Q&A and social networking websites etc. And also use other websites to make money online. There are lots of websites which offers these services. But definitely we love one above the rest and the following are my best, the websites which most probably I can’t live without.
Search engine
Google : I always use Google for searching. Yahoo! Is also good, but Google satisfied me more and now I almost forgot about Yahoo! And find everything I want on Google. Google is just not accurate, they’re speedy and friendly. They provide accurate results, it is estimated that about 200 million searches are done using Google a day. Yahoo! and Bing also provides great results.
Gmail: Google’s another service with lots of space and features. I love it because I receive lot of mails a day and haven’t yet gone out of space with Gmail. The inbox space of Gmail is going up even when I’m writing this and when you are reading this. Also I love Gmail’s new themes, invisible mode and the latest Google Video chat. And the best thing is that we don’t find any picture or flash advertisements on Gmail and this makes Gmail neat and fast.
Free web and blog hosting
Web Hosting
Weebly : Weebly is a free web host which is really worth for a try. They make web publishing easy and fun. Now you don’t need to buy a WYSIWYG editor for creating web pages easily and take hours to upload it to your host by making directories and clearing errors, Weebly has got everything. It’s so easy all we have to do is to drag and drop the contents we want from their tool bar.
Blogging
Blogger: Many people also love WordPress. But I don’t, because they’re not at all easy for a guy like me. They’re rather complicated since they give so much freedom for its users which Blogger.com doesn’t give. Anyway Blogger is easy and straight, we can also use our own unique templates. And most of all Blogger allows the users to insert ads which WordPress don’t (if you’re not using the movable type).
Sharing
Video Sharing
YouTube: YouTUbe really rocks! They’ve lots of content. And I guess there is no other video sharing network with these much videos and such a frequent update. Most of all YouTube is faster that Metacafe, Veoh, Dailymotion or any other. Anyway Google must improve YouTube by filtering of copyrighted and adult contents.
Photo Sharing
Flickr: Flickr is the best photo sharing website. They produce good quality photographs, when I searched for some photographs on Flickr as well as Photobucket, I got better images from Flickr. Anyway I also use Shareapic.net since they pay for the views we receive on our images.
File Sharing
Ziddu ; I now use Ziddu rather than Megaupload or Rapidshare. When I use Rapidshare they says ‘You are currently downloading a file, please finish it before downloading this file. Premium users can….’ The ifact is that they shows this message when I’m not downloading anything! I then started to use Megaupload, but was tired of their very small download limit. But Ziddu is not like that, there is no ‘Premium’ on Ziddu, everything is free. We love anything which is ‘Free’, don’t we?
Q&A website
Yahoo! Answers: When I’m in trouble, sorrow or when I’m confused I find solution on Yahoo! Answers. There are many honst and kind users who are always ready to solve our problems. Also I’ve got many help for preparing my project reports, completing assignments etc. on Yahoo! Answers,
Social Networking
Twitter: This website is something different. There are a lot of social networking websites where we upload images, videos etc. but the fact is that we don’t really share our emotions with other and for sharing emaotions Twitter is the best way and so I love it above all others. A simple ‘What are you doing now’ is works better than everything.
