Web pages  load slowly onto pc screens.Pictures usually use a lot of time to fully show up. Software usually take hours to fully download. If you do not have a dedicated phone line, you would tie up the line, and the connection may trigger off if someone calls the phone line. We used  more of text than other bandwidth-hungry media out of need. Recently Internet connection speeds have increased tremendously from the use of broadband connections using technologies like cable and DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines) and 4G or LTE .  According to the FCC's standards, the new goal is for all household to have access to broadband with a minimum speed of...

The waves bounce back off objects in its path, and some are reflected back to the source of the sound. It's the reflected sound waves that you perceive when your voice echoes back to you in an empty room.  Whales and special machine use reflected waves to locate distant objects(Echo location) and detect their shape and movement. The range and limit of low-frequency sonar is astonishing. Dolphins and whales can differentiate between very small objects size of a pellet 50 feet (15 meters) away, and they use sonar more than sight to locate their food, families, and direction.Whales send signals out bin the range 160 to 190 Db.Bats also use it to locate prey and navigate from obst...

How Haptic Footwear Works

Wearable devices   are the coolest thing in electronics now. A lot of us are already using a contraption that monitors our steps and other fitness parameters. A wearable around for years is now in on the embedded electronics trend,is the shoe. Electronics in or on shoes are not totally strange concepts. We have seen shoes that light up when walking and shoe sensors that link up with fitness apps. And researchers have been working on several other handy features into footwear,such as  GPS tracking  to assist in knowing the whereabouts of Alzheimer's patients, sensors and wireless signals to assist in locating firefighters and other emergency workers in places where GPS may fail. Very Soon, we will have shoes that communicate with us using a   haptic feedback . You may not have thought about it , but haptic feedback is already around you,some of the experiences include vibrating actuators present in numerous cellphones, tablets and game controllers. This tran...
