It is equipped with a display that is hopefully a touchscreen, and has a slot at one end to hook up another stick. File transfers promise to be easy, and I can imagine myself using this stick at live blogging events.Designer: Yivan ...

Mechanism Of PenDrive

USB Flash Drives or commonly called as Pen Drives are popular removable storage media having a storage capacity up to 256 GB. They are preferred over the other conventional storage devices like floppy disks or CD ROMs as they are faster, smaller and have a longer life span. The internal circuitry of the pen drive draws power from the computer for its operation. They have an integrated USB interface to communicate with the computer.

A printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector is shown in the above image. The circuitry is protected...

Project intends to advance robotic surgery

A couple of years ago, the Willow Garage robotics company gave ten of its PR2 robots away to deserving research groups. The idea behind the project was that these groups would use the PR2s for robotics research, then share their discoveries with each other, thus advancing the field farther than would be possible if they each had to build their own unique robots from scratch. Now, a similar but unrelated project is underway, and this time the robots are designed specifically to perform surgery.The National Science Foundation-funded project involves seven identical Raven II surgical robots, which were designed in a joint effort between the University of Washington (UW) and the University of California, Santa Cruz. At the end of this...

Who actually invented the computers, Not Charles babbage?

This is a cool debating content below which could make the invention and inventor of computers more clearer. We all know about computers just by handling it in day-to-day life but we wont search, who has actually invented it. There are so many issues on computer invention either of Billgates?  Steve jobs? Some saying savy? Or Alan turing? Konrad Zuse who was created something called “Z1” credited as "first freely programmable computer" but probably all above said prove wrong there were so many question on discussion".  Whether eccentric scientist charles babbage conceived of first programmable computer in 1830s, a hundred years before the idea was put forth in modern form by alan turing?" but of course charles babbage born in 1791...

We all know that robots are replacing humans in almost every venture, now they are also going to guard the prisons of South Korea. As the country tries to lead the robotic industry, it has taken a step further to get the help of the new droid to strengthen its pace. The ministry of justice sponsored project, the robots, guards measuring 150 cms in height are going guard prisons of Pohang and South Korea form march next year.
