Most battery-powered devices, from smartphones and tablets to electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rely on lithium-ion battery technology. Because lithium-ion batteries can store a significant amount of energy in such a small package, charge quickly, and last long, they have become the battery of choice for new devices. How Do Lithium-Ion Batteries Work? Lithium is stored in the battery’s anode, the positively charged electrode, and the cathode, which is the negatively charged electrode. A liquid electrolyte, or separator, transports positively charged lithium ions between the anode and cathode, the movement of which helps create free electrons in the anode. As a…

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows users to make phone calls using the Internet instead of a traditional phone line. VoIP is also known as IP telephony. VoIP enables voice calls to be transmitted as data packets, facilitating various methods of voice communication, including traditional applications like Skype, Microsoft Teams, Google Voice, and VoIP phones. Regular telephones can also be used for VoIP by connecting them to the Internet via analog telephone adapters (ATAs), which convert traditional telephone signals into digital data packets that can be transmitted over IP networks. The broader terms Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service specifically refer to the delivery of…

Today’s focus: #Ransomware – a malicious software that encrypts your data, locking you out until a ransom is paid. Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents you from accessing your device and the data stored on it, usually by encrypting your files. A criminal group will then demand a ransom in exchange for decryption. The computer itself may become locked, or the data on it might be. Ransomware attacks target individuals and businesses, often demanding payment in cryptocurrency. Protect yourself by keeping backups, updating software, and being cautious with emails and links. Stay informed, stay secure! #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #RansomwareStay…

Internet Of Things - IOT : Internet of things (IoT) describes devices with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communication networks."Internet of things" has been considered a misnomer because devices do not need to be connected to the public internet; they only need to be connected to a network and be individually addressable. It allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency,…

Various Types of Display Technologies : CRT - Cathode Ray Tube LCD - Liquid Crystal Display OLED - Organic Light Emitting DiodeDLP - Digital Light ProcessingPDP - Plasma Display PanelsDLP - Digital Light ProcessingFED - Field Emission DisplayEID - Electronic Ink Display CRT - Cathode Ray Tube : A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube that uses an electron beam to create images on a phosphorous screen. CRTs were a key component of display technology in the late 20th century and were commonly used in televisions and computer monitors. Advantages of CRTs: Superior color accuracy: CRTs generally offer better…

WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN? Blockchain is an algorithm that sits on a distributed data structure for managing electronic cash without any central administration. In other words people do not know nothing about one another. As with all transactions therefore trust is critical. Originally designed for the crypto-currency Bitcoin, the blockchain architecture was spawned by the desire to avoid (government-guaranteed) money and bank-controlled payments, and their associated charges. Blockchain monitors and verifies transactions by calling upon a de-centralised network of nodes which vote on the order in which transactions occur. As a result the network’s algorithm verifies that each transaction is unique.…

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are both technological experiences that change how digital technology interacts with the physical world. AR and VR are often lumped together, but each has its way of interacting with the virtual environment. Augmented Reality : AR overlays video or images onto a display of the physical world, typically through a smartphone. The overlaid image creates an interaction between the user, the digital, and the physical worlds, allowing them to make connections or have new experiences. AR and CGI allow for the visualization of objects in the real world. To create an AR experience,…

What is Deep Learning? Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that deals with algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. Deep learning algorithms can work with an enormous amount of both structured and unstructured data. Deep learning’s core concept lies in artificial neural networks, which enable machines to make decisions. The major difference between deep learning vs machine learning is the way data is presented to the machine. Machine learning algorithms usually require structured data, whereas deep learning networks work on multiple layers of artificial neural networks. The network has an input layer that…

Heart Attack : A heart attack is when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. The heart muscle is robbed of its vital blood supply and, if left untreated, will begin to die because it is not getting enough oxygen. Symptoms : Radiating PainFeeling Faint Jaw or Neck discomfort The person might experience radiating pain, shortness of breath, feel faint or become sweaty Most heart attacks are caused by a blockage in blood flow to the heart rather than a problem with the heart itself. Action to take for recovery : A heart attack is less immediate but can still…
