In lighting‚ LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are becoming popular due to their ability to easily produce different types of colors which enhances their aesthetic value. LEDs are made up of a p-n junction diode (semiconductor) which emits light when activated. The color emitted by the diode is determined by the energy band gap of the

These days‚ in many homes‚ it is virtually impossible to have a so called modern kitchen‚ without having a microwave oven in it. The microwave oven could probably occupy the second place (after the refrigerator)‚ in terms of dependence‚ in the kitchen. This magical piece of technology has revolutionized the way people‚ and the food industries cook food. The microwave oven is only a natural evolution of technology; to fit into this fast-paced world. As in every evolutionary process‚ one must look

Outline Thesis: In order to save money and cut costs‚ it is imperative that one uses different kinds of energy-efficient lights. * Light Fixtures * Light fixtures are the devices that hold the light bulbs you use * In order to have a light in your house you have to have a light fixture to hold it. * Since there are many different types of light bulbs there must be different light fixtures * I.e.‚ fluorescent‚ LED‚ and your basic incandescent‚ etc. * Light

device will be developed to construct a reliable protection system. The study compares the difference of laser light activated alarm to the other commercial detector. The device will be developed to use a LASER Light Activated Alarm which has detecting diode or the photocell‚ which turns the device on when the photocell (sensor) detects light. The researchers want to prove that the LASER Light Activated Alarm to convertible enough to fit on any sizes of doors and windows and can be operated and assembled

1. Introduction This is the first in a series of articles on using Forth to interact with the real world. We will explore how to control motors of various types (such as servomotors and stepper motors)‚ switch power to devices‚ and sense the environment. Each article will present a project that can be used to demonstrate the ideas we are going to discuss. In this first article‚ I want to lay the foundation for the future columns and discuss the use of the PC parallel port to control stepper

CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION The area of wireless power transmission is very interesting. The technology is in its infancy but the overall benefits from its maturation could be significant to society as a whole. World population is expected to continue to grow exponentially. Five sixths of the world’s population lives in developing nations. Most developing nations such as China‚ India‚ and Pakistan are rapidly improving their standard of living. All of these trends point

Abstract: Nanoelectronics refer to the use of nanotechnology on electronic components‚ especially transistors. Although the term nanotechnology is generally defined as utilizing technology less than 100nm in size‚ nanoelectronics often refer to transistor devices that are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. As a result‚ present transistors (such as CMOS90 from TSMC or Pentium 4 Processors from Intel) do not fall under this category
