https://blog.hackster.io/programmable-liquid-droplets-from-mit-improve-every-aspect-of-lab-work-59425428590f This special a lab-on-a-chip can programmatically move tiny droplets of liquids. This chip is a printed circuit board (PCB) with an array of small metallic plates that can be charged or discharged individually. When a droplet of liquid is resting on the board, that charging/discharging can precisely move it using the principle of electrowetting. →
The lighting industry is undergoing a revolution driven by LED technology. LED is is now the dominant lighting technology for all new buildings and retrofits. Yet today, only a small percentage of LED fixtures are supplied with IoT sensors installed. It was estimated 140 million LED fixtures were expected to be distributed in the United →
Finnish comedian Ismo Leikola has been named as the winner of the Funniest Person in the World competition few years ago. Ismo Leikola performed stand-up comedy. this week at Conan O’Brien’s show. Ismo claims that “Ass Is The Most Complicated Word In The English Language“. Earlier Ismo thought “ass” just meant “butt.” But that’s just →
http://www.zdnet.com/article/mosaics-birthday-25-years-of-the-modern-web/ The first popular web browser was Mosaic. Mosaic’s first beta was released for Unix operating systems running X Window on January 23, 1993. It wasn’t the first graphical web browser. That honor goes to ViolaWWW, although some argue the even more obscure Erwise should get the credit for being the first web browser. I →
https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/debugging-shell-script.html Shell scripting debugging can be a tedious job (read as not easy). There are various ways to debug a shell script. Read this article see how to debug a bash script running on Linux and Unix using various methods. →
I needed some connectors for quick electrical circuits prototyping. I saw this 20Pcs CH2 Quick Wire Connector Terminal Block Spring Connector pack at very low price of €1.37. So I ordered them to see if they are any good for nay use. At least they should be OK for low voltage low current circuits if →
IT seems to be growing again. Gartner forecasts worldwide IT spending will increase 4.5% this year to $3.68 trillion, driven by artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain technology, and the IoT. Digital transformations are fashionable. You won’t find an enterprise that isn’t leveraging some combination of cloud, analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to better →
https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/wireless/what-the-finnish-obsession-with-mobile-data-says-about-5g It seems that we really need 5G in Finland before 4G slows down too much due high use of it. Several factors make Finland a potential sandbox for 5G developers: the average person in Finland used about 20 gigabytes (GB) of mobile data in December 2017, a dramatic rise from the 2016 average of →
A DIN rail is a metal rail of a standard type widely used for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks. DIN Rail Terminals are used in a wide range of applications including machinery, automotive industry, railway and process engineering. Here is a collection of videos on DIN Rail Terminals: What are →
