Input Devices Light sensor: Gesture detection – the detection of human movements – may be used to enable advanced‚ differentiated smart features in portable electronics such as smart phones. Many of these features save energy by enabling electronics to expend the minimum amount of energy necessary to provide appropriate screen illumination levels. For example‚ when a phone is held to a user’s ear during normal conversation‚ the user can not see the screen‚ and therefore it may be turned off. This

1. NANOTECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on the nanoscale. A nanometer is a very small measure of length-it is one billionth of a meter‚ a length so small that only three or four atoms lined up in a row would be a nanometer. So‚ nanotechnology involves designing and building materials and devices where the basic structure of the material or device is specified on the scale of one or a few nanometers. Ultimately‚ nanotechnology will mean materials and devices

In this lab‚ you will demonstrate the ability to work with decimal and hexadecimal numbers. Required Setup and Tools In this lab‚ you will need only paper and pencil to do the required work. However‚ the use of a calculator is permitted to verify the results of a calculation. The Windows calculator may be used for this purpose. Recommended Procedures Task 1: Convert Decimal Number into Binary Procedure 1. Convert the decimal number 125 into binary. Use the division-by-two method shown in

INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology has potential applications in many sectors of the American economy‚ including consumer products‚ health care‚ transportation‚ energy and agriculture. In addition‚ nanotechnology presents new opportunities to improve how we measure‚ monitor‚ manage‚ and minimize contaminants in the environment. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA‚ or “the Agency”) is interested in researching and developing the possible benefits of nanotechnology‚ EPA also has the

Encoding‚ Storage and Retrieval: The Processes of Memory Memory is very complex and a little mysterious. There is a lot to know about the way one can organize a lifetime of memories. Research has helped clarify several missing elements in the traditional three-stage memory model. One can now understand the way information is changed as it is encoded‚ stored and then later retrieved. These three processes can be described similarly to the memory of a computer. The first step to remembering a piece

Nanotechnology does not have to be as small as atoms or molecules‚ but it is much smaller than anything you can see with your naked eye. Many materials exhibit unusual and useful properties when their size is reduced. Researchers who try to understand the fundamentals of these size-dependent properties call their work nanoscience‚ while those focusing on how to effectively use the properties call their work nanoengineering.

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is actually a fairly new idea. This may not seem like any big deal in terms of ethics‚ but just like any type of scientific advancement there are positives and negatives. Of course the ethical issues don’t stem out of just the fact that this is a new kind of science. It branches off of "what will this new scientific technology be used for?" For example‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research. It’s not the research that’s bad it’s how they get the cells. There are half

the Device The selected oscilloscope for this project is the GW-Instek (Model GDS-3152) Digital Storage Oscilloscope with a sampling rate of 150 MHz‚ as shown in Figure 38. Figure 38. GW-Instek oscilloscope The oscilloscope has a function to save the screenshots of the plots‚ as well as the 48 sampling data in the form of Excel file‚ which can be used for further analysis. The oscilloscope can also be linked directly to the computer for ease of data retrieval. This is a digital storage oscilloscope

About Nanotechnology Email | Print Imagine being able to observe the motion of a red blood cell as it moves through your vein‚ or being able to watch as a type of white blood cell (called a "T-cell") destroys an invading microbe by engulfing it. What would it be like to observe the vibration of molecules as the temperature rises in a pan of water? To observe sodium and chlorine atoms as they get close enough to actually transfer electrons and form a salt crystal? New scientific tools‚ developed
