Why Touch Screens Only Respond to Fingers: The Science Behind the Sensitivity

  I. Introduction Touch screen technology enables direct interaction with devices through touch. Using either capacitive or resistive methods, these screens detect user input, translating it into commands. Widely used in smartphones, tablets, and kiosks, touch screens offer intuitive navigation, eliminating the need for physical buttons and enhancing user experience across various applications. Understanding how touch screens work is crucial for users and developers alike. It enhances user experience by ensuring effective interaction, informs choices in device selection, and guides troubleshooting. For developers, knowledge of touch technology is vital for creating intuitive applications and improving interface design, ultimately leading to greater user satisfaction. This blog aims to explore why touch screens predominantly respond to fingers, delving into the science behind touch sensitivity. By examining the principles of capacitive and resistive technology, we will uncover the

What is industry 4.0? || Why industry 4.0 is future of Indian manufacturing? (A Case study)

  What is industry 4.0? It is the fourth industrial revolution, where we focus more on the artificial intelligence. Industry 1.0 was the evolution of steam engine then in industry 2.0, electrical energy came in to picture and in industry 3.0 computerized automations were done. Now in the era of industry 4.0 we talk much about cloud computing, internet of things, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and autonomous robot. For an example, we are making 100 parts per day from a lathe machine. If we gather all the machining criteria in all the cycle and store the same in cloud, over a period we collect all the data and do analysis and find for a particular range of spindle speed defects are more. Then we can decide the same machining speed to minimize scrap. Also we can determine at what criteria machine health remains good or at what period of the shift, defects are more. Probably at the end of shift because of tidiness operator runs machine with increasing mac

Echoes of the Past

It was 2 AM at Vijayawada railway station when I briefly regained consciousness, disturbed by the sounds around me. A family entered my compartment—parents and two kids. I couldn't fall asleep again until they settled down. Finally, I drifted off, lulled by the rhythm of the train's movement. My ears perked up and my eyes flew open when someone said, "Pinky, you can sleep now in the lower berth; I'm going to the middle one." My mind raced, urging me to look at her. Was it really the same girl I wanted to erase from my memory, yet somehow couldn't? Yes, it was her—the very same, unchanged since I last saw her at her wedding. Eleven years of togetherness had crumbled in an instant because I refused to beg her parents for our marriage. They say love is blind, but love can be incredibly selfish too. Imagine if your loved one turned down a proposal from a celebrity just for you; that day, I became the joker in a match that was never meant to be. She left me behind,

Top 5 technical skills that will be on demand in 2021

If we can’t see the world behind the mountain does not mean it ends up there probably we don’t put effort to climb up and visualize the existence. In extension to this we may say there is no job scarcity in India but the skill gap is. Companies are eying on the professionals who suits best to bridge their requirement.   Here are 10 top technical skills in-demand we should focus on. 1.     Artificial Intelligence(AI) 2.   Cloud computing 3.    Data Analytics 4.     Internet of Things (IOT) 5.   Virtual Reality (VR ) 1.      Artificial Intelligence(AI): As per the survey of the world economic forum, artificial intelligence will create 133 million new jobs by 2025. It also is expected that the machines will do more work than the humans by 2025.   Artificial intelligence refers to the way a machine can easily mimic humans and execute tasks precisely even if it’s more complex. AI is continuously evolving as a most suitable aid for many different industries. The expectations in future from A

Regenerative braking (How does it work) // seminar topic // Tutorial

What is regenerative braking? People of 20 th century are more realistic and they don’t believe in saving anything rather treat expense as the investment. People have started thinking of using the bio waste as the source of energy, extraction of fuel from plastic, energy from noise and so on.   The regenerative braking system is also an evolution of the same. Every time we step on to our automobile brakes, energy gets wasted. As per the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created nor be destroyed. So when our car slows down, the kinetic energy that was propelling it forward gets transformed to some other form. Most of it simply dissipates as heat and becomes useless, which could have been used to do work, is essentially wasted. This is not limited to the automobiles only but may also be equipped with industrial fork lift, trams, trains etc. In most automobiles it's the inevitable byproduct of braking and there's no way you can drive a vehicle

Pressure measurement, Pressure transducers, Lecture Note on Pressure transducers

Introduction: The pressure exerted by a static fluid depends only upon the depth of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration of gravity. Mathematically,  P = ρgh Static and Dynamic Pressure:   Static pressure: At any point in the fluid, the small chunk of fluid experiences the same pressure from all direction and this pressure is called static pressure. Dynamic pressure: In a fluid flow the stagnation of flow results in conversion of kinetic energy into an additional pressure on the surface which is called as dynamic pressure. When a flat plate is kept against the flow, the fluid is stagnated and creates an additional pressure on the plate which is called as stagnated pressure. Stagnated pressure= Dynamic pressure + static pressure Dynamic pressure= Stagnated pressure - static pressure Pressure measuring transducer:  Often pressure is measured by transducing its effect to a deflection through use of a pressurized area and either a gravitational or elastic
