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

Total Quality Management (TQM)

 Comprehensive Quality Management (TQM) TQM is a collection of management processes across the organization, intended to ensure that the organization consistently meets or exceeds customer requirements. TQM places a strong focus on process balance and control as a way forward better. Before learning more about TQM, it may help to review very quickly types of quality management in an organization. These are briefly described at the top of the Quality Management article. 7 Essential Principles of Comprehensive Management Total Quality Management (TQM) is the approach that organizations use to improve their internal processes and increase customer satisfaction. When it's used properly, it can lead to a reduction in related costs corrective or preventative adjustments and overall performance. However, TQM is not something that happens overnight. Although there is a number of software solutions that will help organizations get started faster quality management system, there

What is battery management system (BMS) in electric vehicles?

  Introduction: The growth of urban sprawl and pollution in big cities is raising public awareness to a more stable mobility solution, which means more efficient use of energy, reduction in pollutants and continued driving development of electric vehicles (EVs). With a view to achieving 100 million EVs on international roads by 2020 (IEA and EVI, 2013), the automotive industry has set the bar high for the public bookings about electromobility so as the battery technology is in high demand. Next to the development of chemical and technological advances in mobile battery technology, battery management system (BMS) is the main protector of the EVs battery system, tasked with verification reliable and safe operation of connected battery cells to deliver high currents at high voltage (HV) levels (the term “battery management system” has no universal meaning and is generally   understood to refer to any system responsible for monitoring, control, and protection of battery cells, either indiv

How The Accelerator Works in Car?

Is speeding your car the only thing you know about how the accelerator works in your car? Read the article for more interesting information. Many people have been wondering how the accelerator works in a car. To understand this, we must learn what an accelerator is. The car accelerator can also be known as a gas pedal located on the bottom right of the car. It is called an accelerator because it controls the speed of the car. The deeper we press the accelerator of a car, the faster the car produces faster. So, push it slowly, or you will end up at a sudden speed that could lead to fatal accidents. Typically, an accelerator is a pedal we push to control the speed of our vehicles. How does the accelerator works? It is easy to learn how the accelerator works in a car. As mentioned earlier in this article, an accelerator speeds up a car based on its depth. To illustrate this, let's take a look at the accelerators of most fuel-efficient cars. When we press the pedal, it opens the th

Starter Motor || How the starting systems work?

  What is starter Motor? The starter motor is just like an electric motor that cranks the engine to start. It consists of a powerful DC (Direct Current) electric motor and the starter solenoid that is attached to the motor. In most of the vehicles, the starter motor is bolted to the engine or transmission. The starter motor is powered by the battery either 12 V or 24 V depending upon the vehicle. In case of passenger cars it is 12v and in commercial vehicles it is 24V. To turn over the engine, the starter motor requires high electric current, which means the battery has to have sufficient power. If the battery is discharged, the lights in a vehicle might not work, but it won't be enough power (current) to turn over the starter motor. When starting a vehicle with a fully discharged battery, there is a single click or nothing happens at all. The starter motor doesn't run, even when there is a 12-Volt power at the starter control terminal.   Another symptom is when the starter

What is an alternator? || How is it different from generator?

  What is alternator? As we know battery powers the electrics of the vehicle and alternator is the key player in battery charging system who feeds battery. An  alternator  is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and used in automobiles to charge the battery. Just like electrical generator it also works on the principle of Faradays law. How is it different from generator? Ø   Both alternator and generator converts’ mechanical energy into electrical energy but an alternator only produces AC whereas a generator may produce AC or DC. Ø   In an alternator, magnet is the rotating part where as inn generator the field winding rotates. Ø   Alternators are self-excited type but generators are not. How does it work? An alternator is a self-excited device in which the magnetic field is generated the moment we switch on the ignition switch which means electricity flows from battery to coils. To strengthen the magnetic field shoes are provided alternately- s

Measurement of Temperature II Which Electro mechanical devices used to measure temperature?

 Introduction: Temperature may be defined as the condition of a body by virtue of which heat is transferred from one system to another.   Temperature and heat are different.   Temperature is a measure of the internal energy of a system whereas as heat is a measure of transfer of energy from one system to another.   The first ever temperature measuring instrument was developed by Galileo Galilei in 17 th century and it has undergone significant improvement in it over the time.   The various temperature scales are related as follows,   F=1.8C+32   C=(F-32)/1.8   R=F+460   K=C+273   Methods of measuring temperature:   Temperature can be sensed using many devices, which can be broadly be classified into two types as contacting and non contacting type.   Contact Type:   a)       Liquid in glass thermometer   b)       Bimetallic strip Thermometer   c)       Pressure thermometer   d)      Thermocouples   e)       Resistance temperature detectors(RTD)   f)
