Graphene Lightbulbs: 10% less energy than even the best LEDs.

Super-efficient Graphene Lightbulbs will hit markets this year

A lightbulb made from wonder-material graphene will reportedly go on sale later this year, and it's promising to be brighter, cheaper, longer-lasting and use 10 percent less energy than even the best LEDs.

The dimmable lightbulb contains a filament-shaped LED that's coated in graphene, a one-atom-thick material that's 200 times stronger than steel, super flexible and also extremely conductive. If all goes to plan, this will be the first commercial graphene product to hit the market.
It's the conductive ability of graphene that makes the light bulbs so efficient, according to the developers at the University of Manchester in the UK, where the material was first discovered in 2004. The bulb is now being produced by Graphene Lighting, a spin-off company, and will be sold for less than US$20,
"This lightbulb shows that graphene products are becoming a reality, just a little more than a decade after it was first isolated - a very short time in scientific terms," said Colin Bailey, deputy president of the University of Manchester, in a press release. "This is just the start. Our partners are looking at a range of exciting applications, all of which started right here in Manchester."
It's safe to say that Bailey is right. Cutting the energy we need to light our homes and businesses by 10 percent is an ambitious start, but there's plenty of potential commercial applications in the pipeline, ranging from doubling the efficiency of solar cells to making smaller transistors.
Other applications won't be as quick to hit the market, but we're pretty excited about them nonetheless, like graphene's potential to create technology that can filter hydrogen fuel right out of thin air or produce a 'million-fold' increase in our hard drive storage.
As scientists find ways to produce graphene in bulk, we're going to see the material revolutionising even more industries. Bring it on.

8K Technology

8K Resolution

8K resolution is the highest ultra high definition television (UHDTV) resolution to exist in digital television and digital cinematography. 8K refers to the horizontal resolution of these formats, which all are on the order of 8,000 pixels, forming the total image dimensions (7680×4320). 8K is a display resolution that may eventually be the successor to 4K resolution. 1080p is the current mainstream HD standard, with TV manufacturers pushing for 4K to become a new standard by 2017, although the feasibility of such a fast transition as well as the practical necessity of a new standard is questionable

One advantage of high-resolution displays such as 8K is to have each pixel be indistinguishable from another to the human eye from a much closer distance. On an 8K screen sized 52 inches, this effect would be achieved in a distance of 50.8 cm (20 inches) from the screen, and on a 92 in screen at 91.44 cm (3 feet) away. Another practical purpose of this resolution is in combination with a cropping technique used in film editing. This allows filmmakers to film in a high resolution such as 8K, with a wide lens, or at a farther distance from a potentially dangerous subject, intending to zoom and crop digitally in post-production, a portion of the original image to match a smaller resolution such as the current industry standard for High-definition televisions (1080p, 720p & 480p).

Few video cameras have the capability to film in 8K, with NHK being one of the only companies to have created a small broadcasting camera with an 8K image sensor. Sony and Red Digital Cinema Camera Company are both working to bring larger 8K sensors in more of their cameras in the coming years. Although 8K will not be a mainstream resolution anytime soon, a major reason filmmakers are pushing for 8K cameras is to get better 4K footage. Through a process called downsampling, using a higher resolution 8K image downsampled to 4K could create a sharper picture with richer colors than a 4K camera would be able to achieve on its own with a lower resolution sensor



Resolutions
8K FUHD is a resolution of 7680 × 4320 (33.2 megapixels) and is one of the two resolutions of ultra high definition television, the other being 4K UHD. In 2013, a transmission network's capability to carry HDTV resolution was limited by internet speeds and relied on satellite broadcast to transmit the high data rates. The demand is expected to drive the adoption of video compression standards and to place significant pressure on physical communication networks in the near future.

8K FUHD has four times the horizontal and vertical resolution of the 1080p HDTV format, with sixteen times as many pixels overall.


8K Fulldome
 8k fulldome is a resolution of 8192×8192 (67.1 megapixels) and is the resolution of top-end modern projection for hemispherical fulldome theatres often seen in planetaria. 8K fulldome projects over 4 times the width and over 7.5 times the height resolution of 1080p HDTV format, with 32 times as many pixels overall.

4K Technology

4K resolution UHD(Ultra High Defination)

 

4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a display device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. Several 4K resolutions exist in the fields of digital television and digital cinematography. In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is the dominant 4K standard

A 4K resolution, as defined by Digital Cinema Initiatives, is 4096 x 2160 (256:135, approximately a 1.9:1 aspect ratio). This standard is widely respected by the film industry along with all other DCI standards.

DCI 4K should not be confused with ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), which has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (16:9, or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio). Many manufacturers may advertise their as UHD 4K, or simply 4K, when the term 4K is traditionally reserved for the cinematic, DCI resolution. This often causes great confusion among consumers.

The use of width to characterize the overall resolution marks a switch from the previous generation, high definition television, which categorized media according to the vertical dimension instead, such as 720p or 1080p. Under the previous convention, a 4K UHDTV would be equivalent to 2160p.

YouTube and the television industry have adopted Ultra HD as its 4K standard. As of 2014, 4K content from major television networks remains limited.On April 11, 2013, Bulb TV created by Canadian serial entrepreneur Evan Kosiner became the first broadcaster to provide a 4K linear channel and VOD content to cable and satellite companies in North America. The channel is licensed by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission to provide educational content. [14] However, 4K content is becoming more widely available online including on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon.[15][16] As of 2015, some UHDTV models were available to general consumers in the range of US$400.

                                    

Engine technology in DUKE

Duke Engines – 5 Cylinder 6 Stroke 3 Injector Valveless Axial Engine

There have been a number of axial engines designed over the years with some similarities between them, but these examples from Duke Engines of New Zealand show a very impressive and well developed prototype. Arthur, one of our readers, spotted the engine on display at the recent EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and thought you might be interested. The engine has 5 cylinders, 3 injectors and zero valves.

Duke Engines reciprocator and crankshaft

The pistons are all attached by their connecting rods to a reciprocator which rotates as a result of the movement of the pistons and is itself attached to the crankshaft which rotates in the opposite direction. As the pistons move through their strokes, they also move past the ports, injectors and spark plugs, eliminating the need for valves. It's a very ingenious arrangement.

Duke Engines internal components

The axial engine has a number of interesting features:

• The counter rotating components generate very low vibration
• Only 3 injectors and plugs for 5 cylinders plus no valve train reduces the parts count
• It is designed to run on a wide variety of fuels
• Lighter and more compact than similar displacement conventional engines

LED lights cause BLINDNESS?

DO 'environmentally friendly'LED lights cause BLINDNESS?

• Spanish research has shown that blue LED light can irreparably damage the cells in the eye's retina
• This is not the first time energy-saving bulbs have been criticised - fluorescent bulbs emit dangerous UV light

Eco-friendly LED lights may damage your eyes, according to new research.

A study has discovered that exposure to LED lights can cause irreparable harm to the retina of the human eye.

LED lights have been touted as a super-efficient alternative to traditional bulbs because they use up to 85 per cent less energy and each bulb can last up to 10 years.

In April, Philips, the world's biggest lighting maker, reported a 38 per cent jump in LED light sales from last year.

A Spanish study has shown that the light emitted by LED bulbs can damage the cells in the retina. Some experts are now calling for a filter to be fitted in the bulbs (file picture)

They are already widely used in mobile phones, televisions, computer screens and can also be fitted as a replacement for traditional lighting in the home.

 LEDs are much more expensive that traditional bulbs - costing around £25 for an equivalent 100w compared to around £1 for an incandescent bulb - although manufacturers claim that consumers make their money back because the use such little energy.

The government announced it was phasing out incandescent bulbs in 2007 after an EU directive banned their use. The 100w bulb was the first to go in 2009 and lower wattage bulbs continue to be phased out gradually.

The ban caused public outrage as customers were forced to spend large sums of money on lighting that not only gave an unpleasantly 'cold' light but also caused some people to report symptoms of itchy skin and headaches.

The government's Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme, which was brought in to help cut UK carbon emissions, is also pushing the use of LED lighting by offering businesses added tax relief if they use LED and other low-energy bulbs.

Dr. Celia Sánchez-Ramos, of Complutense University in Madrid and who led the study, explained that light from LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, comes from the short-wave, high-energy blue and violet end of the visible light spectrum.

 

         Incandescent bulbs (left) are being phased out in favour of low-energy alternatives such as CFLs (right), but there are concerns about the safety of the new generation of so-called 'environmentally friendly' lighting

She said that prolonged, continuous exposure to this light may be enough to damage a person's retina.

The retina is composed of light-sensitive tissue that is responsible for detecting light and in turn allowing us to see.

‘This problem is going to get worse, because humans are living longer  and children are using electronic devices from a young age, particularly for schoolwork,’ Sánchez-Ramos told

Enterprising: Lighting shop owner Kerry Nicholau, from Twickenham, stockpiled 3000 incandescent bulbs after 75 watt bulbs were phased out in 2011

‘Eyes are not designed to look directly at light — they are designed to see with light,’ Sánchez-Ramos said.

Her comments are partly based on her 2012 study that was published in the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology.

The study found that LED radiation caused significant damage to human retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro.

Sánchez-Ramos added that modern humans have their eyes open for roughly 6,000 hours a year, and are exposed to artificial light for the majority of that time.

Some experts have called for the LED lights to have built-in filters to cut out the blue glare.

This is not the first time energy-saving lights have come under scrutiny for safety reasons. Compact fluorescent light bulbs, or CFLs, have been criticized for the high levels of mercury they contain as well as the UV radiation they can emit.

LED lights have also been blamed for the changing hues of masterpieces in art galleries.

A study carried out by the University of Antwerp earlier this year found that LED lights were bleaching the paint on works by Van Gogh and Cézanne.

Xiaomi Mi TV (china TV)

Xiaomi Mi TV 2's New 40-Inch Full-HD Variant Launched

 

Xiaomi on Tuesday launched a new 40-inch variant in its Android-based Mi TV 2 lineup in China at CNY 1,999 (approximately Rs. 20,000). The first sale of the television is scheduled for March 31 on Xiaomi's China website.
The new Mi TV 2 model from Xiaomi features a 40-inch Sharp SDP X-GEN full-HD panel with a 'Radiant' LED backlight module, a 14.4mm bezel, and 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.
Similar to the previous Mi TV 2 model, the new 40-inch Xiaomi Mi TV 2 runs MIUI OS based on Android 4.4 KitKat. Xiaomi says it is upgradeable to Android 5.0 Lollipop, but did not provide a time-frame for the update. It packs a 1.45GHz quad-core MStar 6A908 Cortex-A9 CPU coupled with Mali-450 MP4 GPU and 1.5GB of DDR3 RAM. The onboard storage for apps on the television is 8GB.
Xiaomi says that the new Mi TV 2 features support for H.265, H.264, MPEG4, and REAL video decoding, apart from 10-bit hardware decoding. The supported video formats include rm, flv, mov, avi, mkv, ts, and mp4. Notably, the last Mi TV 2 model featured a 49-inch 4K UHD display.
Last year in December, Xiaomi made a move in the Internet of Things (IoT) sphere with the launch of Internet-connected Mi Air Purifier. Priced at CNY 899 (approximately Rs. 8,900), the Mi Air Purifier can connect to the user's smartphone and alert them if the filter has reached end-of-life and needs to be replaced. Xiaomi says that the air purifier can produce up to 406 cubic metres (14,000 cubic feet) of clean air per hour and sends pollution readings to connected smartphones.
Meanwhile, the company is reportedly also planning a water purifier on the same lines. The company is said to have shown a prototype of the new water purifier at an investor meet earlier this year.

Evolution of Android

Evolution of Android: from Cupcake to Lollipop

                             It’s astounding to think that Android has only been around for six years, but in the computer world, this is a huge amount of time. In addition to the exponential improvement of hardware features such as RAM and CPU as one would expect, Android has totally revolutionized the cell phone. Today we’ll discover together how the OS has become the most popular mobile operating system in the entire world, all the way up to Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Android didn’t create the first smartphone. In fact, BlackBerry could perhaps be considered the first, thanks to their innovative feature to come out in 2000 allowing users to read emails, see attachments and surf the internet. At that time however, the phone's operating system was closed and nwilling to evolve.

The will to evolve was later carried out by Andy Rubin in 2003, with the help of other big names, when he founded Android Inc., a company which he defined would allow ''mobile devices [to be] more aware of the location and preferences of their own.''

Rubin and his start-ups were able to offer a new type of mobile operating system: a simple and functional open source platform (based on the Linux kernel), equipped with a series of tools designed to make life easier for developers, which was ultimately intended on being a system free for anyone who wanted to use it.

This aspect was enough to convince Larry Page, founder of Google, to jump on this new project, even though they were aware that it could disrupt the company's business strategy of focusing primarily on research services.

In 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. and the Google Mobile Division was born. The world watched this event with skepticism and curiosity that we can now define as almost historic. How could the company venture into a market already well established by Microsoft, with Windows Mobile, and especially the new Apple iPhone?

Two years later, Google came up with an incredible strategic move where they offered 10 million USD to developers who would make the best Android apps from the first public version of the Android SDK. At this point, Google’s intentions became a lot clearer: they didn’t just want to build another iPhone, but a device with a flexible and adaptable system different to the Apple OS. It would be a software ecosystem as independent as possible from hardware and open to the world of developers, and by doing so, truly embracing the ambitions of Rubin.

Finally, in September 2008, T-Mobile announced the T-Mobile G1, the first smartphone based on Android. About a month later, Google released the Android 1.0 source code under the Apache license. It then became available to anyone, and it’s because of this that we are able to flash custom ROMs on our Android devices today.

The rest of the story is already better known, so I won’t bore you with other dates and events. Instead I'm going to let you retrace the history of the Android updates. Each new release represents a significant evolutionary step and are now points of reference for the smartphone market.

In case you never really caught on, each version was in alphabetical order and named after a candy or dessert.

Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a huge user interface makeover which now closely follows Material Design. As opposed to KitKat, the design changes have been evenly distributed throughout the phone’s system.

In addition to a brand new look, Lollipop includes many new and exciting features, like Tap & Go (easy data transfer to your new phone via NFC), floating notifications, built-in battery saver, encryption, multiple user profiles and a smarter Google Now. Of course, Google also included a new Easter Egg which pays homage to one of the year’s most popular games, Flappy Bird. Instead of the bird, you must control the little Android robot along a landscape of multi-colored lollipops! Android Lollipop is definitely much more vibrant, colorful and flat than any other Android version.

Android feature that locks your phone if you're not holding it.

New "On-Body Detection" Smart Lock Mode In Android Seems To Be Hitting Some Devices

Google is currently rolling out a new smart lock mode called on-body detection. The feature, described in the screens below, uses your accelerometer to figure out when your device is in your hand or pocket, and lock when it's not. The idea being if you leave your phone sitting on a table or forget it somewhere, it will lock, preventing would-be thieves from easily accessing your data.

  

Once you unlock your phone, it will stay unlocked while you're holding it or it's in your pocket. Once you set it down, it will lock again. Picking it back up requires you to manually unlock it (assuming you're not using another trusted authenticator factor). If you hand the phone to someone else while it's unlocked, it will not lock - the feature isn't able to recognize that you specifically are holding the phone. It just knows when the phone is being held / pocketed and when it isn't.

The device the feature was noticed on was a Nexus 4 still running Android 5.0.1, but we're now seeing it on many devices including most Nexuses. This doesn't seem to be a feature related to Android 5.1, but you probably need 5.0+ for it to work. We do know our tipster has the most recent version of Play Services (we tried with the same version on our Nexuses, and no dice), and we know trusted places is enabled by Google Play Services, so it seems likely this on-body detection mode is probably activated similarly, and isn't part of the core OS.
This appears to be Google slowly launching a new feature with a small rollout to begin with, so don't worry if you're not seeing it yet - we've got multiple confirmations it's out there.

How to Crack Wi-Fi Passwords

An internet connection has become a basic necessity in our modern lives. Wireless hotspots (commonly known as Wi-Fi) can be found everywhere!
If you have a PC with a wireless network card, then you must have seen many networks around you. Sadly, most of these networks are secured with a network security key.
Have you ever wanted to use one of these networks? You must have desperately wanted to check your mail when you shifted to your new house. The hardest time in your life is when your internet connection is down.
Cracking those Wi-Fi passwords is your answer to temporary internet access. This is a comprehensive guide which will teach even complete beginners how to crack WEP encrypted networks, easily.

Table of Contents

1. How are wireless networks secured?
2. What you'll need
3. Setting up CommView for Wi-Fi
4. Selecting the target network and capturing packets
5. Waiting...
6. Now the interesting part... CRACKING!
7. Are you a visual learner?

Step 1: How Are Wireless Networks Secured?

In a secured wireless connection, internet data is sent in the form of encrypted packets. These packets are encrypted with network security keys. If you somehow manage to get hold of the key for a particular wireless network you virtually have access to the wireless internet connection.
Broadly speaking, there are two main types of encryptions used.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

This is the most basic form of encryption. This has become an unsafe option as it is vulnerable and can be cracked with relative ease. Although this is the case many people still use this encryption.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

This is the more secure alternative. Efficient cracking of the passphrase of such a network requires the use of a wordlist with the common passwords. In other words you use the old-fashioned method of trial and error to gain access. Variations include WPA-2 which is the most secure encryption alternative till date. Although this can also be cracked using a wordlist if the password is common, this is virtually uncrackable with a strong password. That is, unless the WPA PIN is still enabled (as is the default on many routers).
Hacking WEP passwords is relatively fast, so we'll focus on how to crack them for this guide.

Step 2: What You'll Need

• A compatible wireless adapter:

This is by far the biggest requirement.The wireless card of your computer has to be compatible with the software CommVIew. This ensures that the wireless card can go into monitor mode which is essential for capturing packets.

• Aircrack-ng GUI:

After capturing the packets this software does the actual cracking. Click here to download the software from their website.

• A little patience is vital.

Step 3: Setting Up CommView for Wi-Fi

• Download the zip file of CommView for Wi-Fi from the website. Extract the file and run setup.exe to install CommView for Wi-Fi. When CommView opens for the first time it has a driver installation guide. Follow the prompts to install the driver for your wireless card.
• Run CommView for Wi-Fi.
• Click the play icon on the top left of the application window.

Start scanning for wireless networks.
CommView now starts scanning for wireless networks channel by channel. After a few minutes you will have a long list of wireless networks with their security type and signal. Now it is time to choose your target network.

Step 4: Selecting the Target Network and Capturing Packets

A few things to keep in mind before choosing the target wireless network:

• This tutorial is only for WEP encrypted networks, so make sure you select a network with WEP next to its name. If you need to crack a WPA encrypted network, follow this tutorial instead.
• Choose a network with the highest signal.
• Each network will have its details in the right column.
• Make sure the WEP network you are choosing has the lowest dB (decibel) value.

Once you have chosen your target network, select it and click Capture to start capturing packets from the desired channel.
Now you might notice that packets are being captured from all the networks in the particular channel. To capture packets only from the desired network follow the given steps.

• Right click the desired network and click on copy MAC Address.
• Switch to the Rules tab on the top.
• On the left hand side choose MAC Addresses.
• Enable MAC Address rules.
• For 'Action' select 'capture' and for 'Add record' select 'both'.
• Now paste the mac address copied earlier in the box below.

We need to capture only data packets for cracking. So, select D on the bar at the top of the window and deselect M (Management packets) and C (Control packets).
Now you have to save the packets so that they can be cracked later. To do this:

• Go to the logging tab on top and enable auto saving.
• Set Maximum Directory Size to 2000.
• Set Average Log File Size to 20.

Step 5: Waiting...

Now the boring part- WAITING!
NOTE: The amount of time taken to capture enough data packets depends on the signal and the networks usage. The minimum number of packets you should capture should be 100,000 for a decent signal.
After you think you have enough packets (at least 100,000 packets), you'll need to export them.

• Go to the log tab and click on concatenate logs.
• Select all the logs that have been saved.
• Do not close CommView for Wi-Fi.
• Now navigate to the folder where the concatenated logs have been saved.
• Open the log file.
• Select File- Export -Wire shark tcpdump format and choose any suitable destination.
• This will save the logs with a .cap extension to that location.

Step 6: Now the Interesting Part... CRACKING!

• Download Aircrack-ng and extract the zip file.
• Open the folder and navigate to 'bin'.
• Run Aircrack-ng GUI.
• Choose WEP.
• Open your .cap file that you had saved earlier.
• Click Launch.
• In the command prompt type in the index number of your target wireless network.
• Wait for a while. If everything goes fine, the wireless key will be shown.

You may also receive a request to try with more packets. In this case wait until more packets have been captured and repeat the steps to be performed after capturing packets.
BEST OF LUCK!

Step 7: Are You a Visual Learner?

Just in case you didn't understand, you can watch this video walk-through.

Nano Technology: The walls urinate back on you

In Germany, the walls urinate back on you

Public urination can be a nuisance to those living within the society, the main problem of course being the wretched smell that lingers at the spot. In very little cases is the act justifiable and most of the instances arise from drunken revelers. Many different methods have been tried and tested to tackle the problem such as temporary portable loos in areas of high density cases, but residents of St. Pauli, the party quarter of the German city of Hamburg, have taken a new approach to tackling the problem; the walls urinate back on anyone who dares to let loose on the streets.

A St. Pauli community organisation coated numerous walls and hot-spots throughout the quarter in super-hydrophobic coatings that cause urine to splash back at the perpetrators, making public urination a far more uncomfortable and complicated task. And if they do continue to urinate then hopefully they’ll be reminded never to do it again when they wake up smelling like the streets they normally tarnish.

Some of the walls have a signpost warning people that they’ll urinate back at you but not all of the walls come with a warning. This makes it a risky game for would-be perps. There’s a lightheartedness about the campaign but it has certainly succeeded in raising awareness to the issue. One St. Pauli resident warns in the campaign’s video, “it’s peeback time.”
