is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The term is most commonly applied to electric power converters that convert one form of electrical energy to another. An AC-DC power supply converts alternating current (AC) into the direct current (DC). In general most consumer electronic devices such as desktop computer‚ mobile phone require a low DC power source. In practical field DC power for electronic devices is most conveniently obtained from commercial AC lines by using rectifier-filter

LIGHT EMITTING DIODES Light Emitting Diodes are electronic components that use the flow of electrons to excite materials into emitting photons of light. A diode is a basic electronic component that allows electricity to flow one way only. The discovery of "light emitting" diodes we believe was an accident sometime around 1907 when a diode in an early radio transmitter was noticed to glow when in use. Incandescent bulbs use resistance in a filament to impede the flow of electricity‚ heating

Today many things have changed in society where children are concerned. The schools were seen as rigor and teachers were looked upon. Thanks for those good old days. Colleges then didn’t coddle students. The colleges preserved its right to “direct the conduct and studies of the youth and to restrain them from such liberties and indulgences as would tend to corrupt their morals or alienate their minds from steady application.” And steady application was de rigueur. At five o’clock each morning

Philippine-German Solar Energy Project (PGSEP). The technology involved the capsulation of the sun’s rays through panels of photovoltaic (PV) cells. The encapsulated energy charged a wet cell battery‚ controlled by battery control unit (BCU). It produce direct current (DC) power to run a DC appliances. Additionally‚ DC current can be converted alternating current (AC) to run AC appliances. These applications tested by the PGSEP. The PGSEP was confident that this application able to solve the Philippine’s

Automatic Street Light Control INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS An embedded system can be defined as a computing device that does a specific focused job. Appliances such as the air-conditioner‚ VCD player‚ DVD player‚ printer‚ fax machine‚ mobile phone etc. are examples of embedded systems. Each of these appliances will have a processor and special hardware to meet the specific requirement of the application along with the embedded software that is executed

Failure of Democracy in Pakistan Democracy is a form of government in which supremacy of power is vested in the people of the voters collectively‚ and it is administered by them or the officers appointed by them. according to Chambers Dictionary it also means a state of society characterized by recognition of equality of right and privileges political‚ social and legal equality. The most accepted definition of democracy is Government of the people‚ for the people‚ and by the people (Abraham Lincoln)
