Amazing battery less device

Your phone battery is dyeing and you want to text urgently. Sending texts after a phone’s battery dies sounds impossible, right? Soon it might not, thanks to a new technology that not only uses TV and Wi-Fi signals for device communication, it taps those signals as a power source. No batteries required.

Developed by researchers from the University of Washington, the technology is known as “ambient backscatter” and could potentially create networks of devices and sensors that can transmit information by reflecting existing signals to exchange information, without the need for internal batteries.

“We can repurpose wireless signals that are already around us into both a source of power and a communication medium,” lead researcher Shyam Gollakota, a UW assistant professor of computer science and engineering, said in a press release. “It’s hopefully going to have applications in a number of areas including wearable computing, smart homes and self-sustaining sensor networks.”

Researchers built small, credit card-sized devices equipped with antennas that detect, harness and reflect those signals to similar devices. The team tested the prototypes in various locations around the Seattle area, including a street corner, inside an apartment building and on top of a parking garage. Locations ranged from less than a half a mile away from a TV tower to about 6.5. miles away.

The receiving devices picked up a signal at a rate of 1 kilobit per second when 2.5 feet away from their outdoor counterparts and 1.5 feet apart when inside. That’s enough to transmit a text message, sensor reading and contact information.

Researchers envision the technology being used in sensors that monitor bridges for hairline cracks. Potentially, the tech could be built in to cell phones to provide emergency power when the battery has died. While the applications are endless, researchers want to advance the capacity and range of the devices.

“Ambient Backscatter” sounds like a fantastic name for an electroclash band, so while you round up your synth-playing posse, check out this video of your band’s namesake device.

Amazing green mask

One person’s head-mounted torture device may be another person’s idea of food. Case in point: the Algaculture Symbiosis Suit.

No, the above photo is not a movie still from the next installment of the “Saw” franchise. It’s a symbiosis suit, designed by artists Michael Burton and Michiko Nitta (known as Burton Nitta), that grows food while wearers go about their daily business. A series of tubes, placed in front of the mouth, capture carbon dioxide and feed it to a constantly-growing population of suit-embedded algae. But algae needs sunlight to grow, right? Easy, the wearer just needs to sit by a window or go outside.

The suit debuted last year outside the Victoria and Albert Museum. There, an opera singer wore the algaculture symbiosis suit, sang to the crowd and generated enough new algae populations during her performance that audience members were treated to a post-show snack.

Sounds crazy, right? No ones wants to eat an entire diet of algae. But hold up. You probably consume more algae than you think. That sushi you had last night and the ice cream you had for dessert, even the mayonnaise you spread on your lunchtime turkey sandwich — all have derivatives of algae.

“Algaculture designs a new symbiotic relationship between humans and algae. It proposes a future where humans will be enhanced with algae living inside new bodily organs, allowing us to be semi-photosynthetic,” Burton Nitta wrote on their website.

“As such, we will be symbionts (meaning that both entities entirely depend on each other for survival), entering into a mutually beneficial relationship with the algae.”

So, does the Algaculture Symbiosis Suit whet your appetite or make you wrinkle your brow? While you’re weighing your decision, check out video of the suit’s operatic debut.

Chinese Carver Spent 4 Years For This Wooden Masterpiece

When you hear the word “masterpiece,” you most likely think of some famous painting painted in the 15th or 16th century like the Mona Lisa. So it’s always nice to know that artistic masterpieces are being created even today. 

A Chinese artist "Zheng Chunhui" a famous wood carver, has won a place in the Guinness Book of Records after creating the world's longest wooden carving. Zheng spent four years working tirelessly, creating the jaw dropping master piece of artwork on a single tree trunk which is 40ft long.

The scene is actually a copy of the famous Chinese painting 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' which was created over 1,000 years ago.

It has won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft

It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so incredibly detailed.

That was 8,760 hours well spent. To show the day to day life of ancient Chinese people. The artwork features buildings, boats, bridges and 550 individually carved people who are shown herding animals, carrying cargo shopping in markets and going about their daily business in a snapshot of ancient Chinese life.

Care to share this awesome work with others.

How to celebrate Diwali Safely

The festival of lights "Diwali" is one of the most awaited festivals of the year and is one of my favorites. One loves everything about Diwali - the sweets, the gifts, house full of Diyas, the firecrackers, its real fun. 

Diwali is a 5 day festival, celebrated to mark the triumph of good over evil. It is observed each year at some point during mid-October to mid-November in many countries such as India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Nepal, or where there are large Indian communities living such as in Canada, Britain, and New Zealand.

Diwali, brings fun, joy and togetherness. Children and youth look eagerly forward for the arrival of the festival. In fact, they begin bursting of crackers and playing with fireworks well before the festival. Diwali marks the triumph of good over evil and dispels darkness. Unfortunately, improper handling and playing with fireworks, mar the celebrations every year.
Diwali brings with it a lot of concerns too. Environment Concerns, Safety Concerns, Concern for Animals. When Diwali is a festival of celebration, why should such concerns be given a place. So, my message for everyone is to try and celebrate Diwali in the most fun way but with as much consideration for everything around you.
Every year a number of people across the country, lose their eyesight and sustain burns during the festival. Property is also damaged in mishaps.

It's the festival of lights and with all the diyas lighting up your home and crackers boosting your excitement level, don't ignore the simple steps of caution which prevent the joyous occasion turning into a scarred one.

The day of Diwali records more sound pollution than all the other days combined together in the year. Pets are afraid of the sounds made by the crackers on the day. The bomb sounds are deafening even for the human beings. 

Some naughty children do not think of anything but lighting crackers and do not care if they are on the road or if there are vehicles. There is always a danger of vehicles catching fire or the crackers harming someone else. And, the crackers release lot of harmful metals into the atmosphere and the smoke from the crackers is always choking. Well, we definitely do not want a day of celebration to bring so many evils upon us, right?

So here we suggest some Dos and don'ts to make your Diwali a happy and prosperous Diwali.

Do's:

* An adult should always supervise the use of fireworks by children.

* Check the area before igniting fireworks to ensure that all inflammable and combustible materials are removed.

* Follow all safety precautions issued with the fireworks.

* Use a candle or an agarbathi to ignite fireworks. They burn without an open flame and provide a greater and safer distance between your hands and thefireworks.

* Open flames from matches and lighters can cause additional fire hazards.

* Keep a fire extinguisher or bucket of water nearby to extinguish any incipient fire.

* Keep burn ointments handy.

* Use fireworks only outdoors.

* Wear protective goggles while lighting fireworks to prevent eye injuries.

* Light only one firework at a time.

* Firecrackers, bombs and flowerpots should not be lighted holding them. It is always safer to light them from the side without bending over them.

* Move away quickly before they burst.

* Hold lighted sparklers away from the body.

* Flying fireworks - rockets, missiles, etc. - should always be lighted in open grounds pointing straight up.

* Discard used fireworks in a bucket of water.

* Wear close-fitting clothes of thick material instead of loose or flowing garments.

* Store fireworks in a cool and dry place.

* Consult an opthalmologist immediately in case of eye injuries.

Don'ts:

* Never give fireworks to small children.

* Never ignite fireworks while holding them. Put them down, then ignite them and walk away.

* Do not put fireworks in any container to ignite.

* Never mix anything with the contents of fireworks or make fireworks at home.

* Never ignite aerial fireworks where overhead obstruction (trees, wires, etc.) may interfere with trajectory into open air space.

* Never ignite an aerial firework near an opening to a building.

* Never use fireworks inside a vehicle.

* Never re-light a firework which has not burnt properly. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.

* Never throw or point fireworks at other people.

* Never carry fireworks in your pocket.

* Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers.

* Ensure that your children don't engage in dangerous pranks such as throwing lighted crackers or sparklers at others, or try to make fireworks themselves.

Following these precutions can go a long way in ensuring a safe Diwali.

Happy Diwali Guys

DIFFERENT USES FOR COLA

The main use for Cola is as a beverage, but there are other things it can be used for. Learning the other uses for Cola can save you money on purchasing several different products. For example, Cola can remove stains and rust on metal. That's now two products you don't have to buy.

*Removing Rust and Hard Water
Cola can remove rust from nails and from the bumper of your car. To remove rust on a small object, fill a plastic cup with Cola. Then add the rusted metal object. Leave it overnight and then wipe the rust off with an old rag. To remove rust from larger metal you will need a sheet of aluminum foil. Roll the aluminum foil up in to a ball and dip in the Cola so that it is covered on all sides with the liquid. Rub it in a circle over the rust. You may need to apply the Coke a few times and then rub, but it will work.It is also used in removing hard water from your bathroom tiles and toilet bowls.

*Stain Removal
Cola contains acid that can remove grease and blood stains from fabric. Fill your washing machine and add your normal amount
of laundry detergent. Then add one can of Cola. Place a load of laundry in the washing machine including the items with the
stains. When the wash cycle is over, your clothing will be stain free.

*As Medicine
Cola is often used to treat upset stomachs. You must first let the Cola sit out and become flat. If you are feeling nauseous you will want to sip the flat Cola every ten minutes or so until your stomach begins to feel better. If you have an upset stomach due to diarrhea, you can drink the Cola at a faster rate. Your stomach will be feeling better in no time.

*Removing Pests
If you have a problem with slugs or snails you can use Cola as both bait and poison. Pour the Cola in a small dish and watch
the sugar attract the slugs and snails. Once the pests get on the dish the acid will destroy them. Cola also works to remove
bugs from a car windshield. Just pour the Cola over the bugs on the windshield and wait 10 seconds. Use your windshield wipers and the bugs will easily come off.

*For Cooking
You can use Cola as a marinade to make meats more tender. Pour a can of Cola in a mixing bowl and then add a dry packet of
Italian dressing mix. Stir the two together and place your meat in the bowl. Make sure the meat is covered on both sides by the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours before cooking. Your meat will be nice and tender.

Cool tips and tricks for mobile phone

These codes and tricks cell phone looks great, as they have some magic functions, especially for feature phones. You can run at another time, but I do not think anyone has tried them. So do not take it too seriously.

1. Type ** 21 * 999999 # and press the answer key will allow any calls. If someone tries to call you, he or she will be listening to "the number dialed does not exist. 'Type # # 21 # and press answer key to turn it off, the phone will return to normal.

This sounds cool, especially for feature phones that have applications to help achieve this feature. However this does not work, at least not work in my case. Since more and more people own smartphone, many apps will do the same job. If you do not have a smart phone, go get one.

Two. Keep your car keys locked inside, and the remote also stays home? Place the phone somewhere on foot near his car and call and ask your family to press the unlock button.

I do not I have a car and could not prove it, but I really doubt it.

Three. Phone battery is running low? Enter * 3370 # and the phone will reboot, and you will see a 50% increase in battery life. It is said that this code only works for Nokia phones. How does it work? Someone says there is no hidden battery.

This really sucks, does not work on any phone and ridiculous.

April. The phone is lost? Enter * # 06 # and the IMEI number will be displayed. Take this number to your mobile operator and ask them to blacklist is. Even someone on your phone and change the SIM card, the phone can refuse service.

This code works, but there is nothing magical and everyone knows it. In fact, if you are afraid of losing your phone, install a cell phone tracking application that will help you recover.

If you are looking for some magic codes, they can disappoint. But back later and codes have many useful services that could help you learn more about your phone and save time.
