Can Internet Beaming Balloons Outmaneuver Shifting Winds?

project loon
The "Project Loon" of the Google company is aiming for giving the true support to their aspiration of providing internet connectivity to the vast majority of people, through huge Balloon and is expecting it can be done with a short period of time.

The internet is a big issue in our daily life today, as the computer and the internet has taken the principal role in the development process, as well as, best possible avenue of communications among individuals and collective discussion.

It is a known fact that the advent of the computer technology, along with the internet, has been considered as the most phenomenal advancement of the science and technology sector and there is some sort of involvement of this technology in almost every product and issue in the current world. With the growing uses of the internet, the requirement of the good quality service and wide range of connectivity has become the need of the hour; various international organizations are trying to get a solution of this huge necessity, with some kind of easy and affordable backups, which could be helpful in providing the service to the end user with great mobility and in a smooth manner.

The digital giant Google has already taken some of the most exciting measures to get the internet at an easier mode and to the remote places, with the quality connection. The "balloon" technology is the most modern method that has been tried by Google, which is having the potential of providing the most encouraging internet support for the vast majority of people, even in almost inaccessible regions.

Important Features

The Project Loon Team, which is a part of the X research lab of the company, has expressed their views that they are now able to try the machine learning for predicting the weather systems to a great extent. This unique claim proves that the company or specifically their research team is now able to control the movements of the balloons and makes it possible to focus on the particular region or area, instead of roaming here and there without any specific purpose.

The "Clustering" of a number of small balloons is helping the team to reduce the cost, which was earlier tried at a very high expenditure that made it almost a nonstarter. Now the organization is able to provide a well-structured service to a remote place, preferably in the rural sector, with the support of clustering ten to thirty balloons, while in the earlier days there was a requirement of hundreds of balloons to provide same nature of internet service.

Conclusion

It is expected that the real user will be able to use the system within few months but the actual rollout place has not been finalized till date. The balloon technology of Google has the potential of reaching the person, who is residing at a remote countryside, where internet connectivity is considered as an unknown word or issue. This tennis court size balloon is able to provide the required support that enables them to get the internet to the rural side and other areas, with the continuous flying ability of the balloons.

Lightvert Echo: How Giant Digital Adverts Could Soon be in Our Cities

Lightvert Echo
The young generation of the present age is now not unaware of digital ads, which are often used by entrepreneurs as a tool for marketing. However, digital advert is going to be introduced in a fresh form. And this is possible with the help of a special technology, ECHO. A giant sized promotional message may not noticed by you in any part of your city. You will be able to view an image of about 200m in height. Though it may be visible to you only for few seconds, you will surely find it to be much attention-grabbing.

Lightvert with the introduction of newest digital ads technology-

It is Lightvert that has given effort for the development of ECHO. CEO of this company, Daniel Siden has informed that ECHO may be defined as a medium of display, which seems to be very useful for advertisers. This newest technology has brought a revolution in the domain of advertisement. It has also become acceptable to tech enthusiasts and many people are now curious to know how this system works. Siden also hopes that property owners may also like to get the chance of turning their structures into digitally operated billboards, which generate revenue.

How ECHO performs its work-

ECHO blends a thin bit of some reflective substance, which is attached at the specific zone of a skyscraper. There is also an integration of special light scanning system, which shoots light rays from the reflector to the viewer. As the images are visually echoing before you, the technology is named as ECHO. Siden has given a clear description of the phenomenon. Images are produced only with one light ray. Thus, they are formed just in the eye of viewer and not in practical world. The full-scale images are subtle as well as effective.

Any risk with ECHO?

Some people have criticized that these pop-up advertisements of Lightverts may be an eyesore to the viewers. It seems to function in a way as if a rocket is leaving a fine light ray on your eyes. But, Lightvert has ensured that it has accomplished some thorough test with the application industrial standards. And in all the tests, the technology has received a grade of success. Moreover, the company has made the innovation by having its target at only the pedestrians. The system is installed at such a height that it is not possible for cyclists and drivers to view at those images easily.

A display, through ECHO, involves application of an effect (PoV) in order to have a print of image safely into the retina of viewers. Some reported that laser projector may be a risky factor.

However, this is to be lifted at a particular height, which is quite distant from common people in the highway. It does not cause any danger to the public. The complete system has integration with several security interlocks to keep away from H&S problem.

Thus, Lightvert has created a link of graphic interaction and technology, and it is highly valuable to the advertisers.

Google Patents Crumpling Car Safety System

Google Car
Google is known for its expertise in every field. It provides various kinds of information over varying subjects within a flick of seconds, because of its efficiency people from all age groups belonging to several different fields are aware of this dynamic search engine called Google; which is worldwide famous. Google have come up with a technology that can control a car’s system so that the risk of car crash can be avoided to a greater extent.

Google has come up with a system that grants the car to get crumpled up from before so that the risk of car crash can be reduced. It has suggested several ways to build up panels on the car’s circumference so even if a crash takes place unexpectedly neither the passengers, nor the pedestrian or any other object is harmed.

They are planning to develop a technology that will enable the panels to get coupled with the help of sensor data that will easily detect the object that is approaching the car and will take immediate measures, so eventually the crash can be avoided. This possibility was seconded by AA, retorting on the fact that several manufacturers of car are on the run to develop ways that will minimize the intensity of injuries even if the crash takes place.

Some details have been provided by the US granters on the different ways to fit in panels related to bodywork on the cars. A section of bumber wings is to be fixed to the cars that can be broken down with the help of actuators on the chassis of the Google Car. Automatically before the impact the actuators on the car’s chassis would give a signal, leading to the breaking down of pins that would enable the panel to halt back.

An alternative was also suggested where the panels would be fixed to the hinges or to the grooves, so the panel could be pulled immediately when it comes in contact with an object. A further note is added to this accident prone car where a control system would be infused to the cars that can run even without drivers.

If any of the parts of the car move out of the way then the force by which the car will collide to the other object that may be reduced, this will in turn reduce the serious damage of life, car and other objects. Henceforth, if this development is seriously carved out then the consequences would always bear a positive connotation.

The data sensors available in the car will check out the size and the weight of the object that is approaching the car and will accordingly take measures so that the crash can be avoided and if not avoided then the risk of injuries can be reduced. This is a very big hike that is being provided by Google that will ensure more safety on roads. The car holders will no longer have to worry for their life’s or their car’s well being.

Self Flying Taxi to Transport Passengers in Dubai

Self Flying Taxi
A city that moves faster than a bullet train, requires top-notch transportation services in order to keep pace with the existing trend of the world. In such advanced city traffic related issues are always a matter of concern. We know that Dubai is a highly developed country that has so much in store for you that you cannot imagine.

Dubai has come up with an extraordinary innovation that will make life much easier for all the dwellers there. The head of the department of transport in Dubai has reported that very soon the skies of Dubai will be filled with self-flying taxis that will help people to overcome their transportation issues.

This seems much like a ferry land story where there used to be flying gadgets that made the entire thing very interesting. Dubai have decided to name it Ehang 184, that will be strictly applicable for the airborne services. The flying machine would be designed in such a manner that it won’t require a human to direct it. The technology fed in it is such that it will run on its own. It is suited to carry one passenger at a time along with their luggage. It can fly for 23 minutes.

Dubai is not the first city that has taken such an initiative. In 2006 Summer, Las Vegas had already announced that they will avail this facility to their people. The Ehang 184 that Dubai has unveiled is powered by electricity and has the capability to travel for 31 miles along with a single person and their baggage that should not be more than 100 kg. It can easily cover a distance of 63 miles in just an hour and two hours is required to get it completely charged. This is a magical vehicle that is a complete transportation device without any curbs.

This is an app based service and anyone who wants to avail this facility for themselves are required to download the app first and then enter their destination. This revolutionary transporting device then will automatically demarcate the route and will enable sound and safe travelling to their passengers and reaches them at the required destination. It can fly at a stretch, but is generally required to stop at the required destination that depicts that though it is capable of unbreakable journey, but still it has to hop from one landing spot to another.

The propellers used in it are folded inwards at the time of landing and when it entirely lands it can easily fit in the space that is needed by a single car. It is also inflicted with a fail safe system. The company says that this function is fed in it to ensure that no emergency situation arises when the flying taxing is actually flying high. Due to this function the vehicle lands immediately at the closest place if anything malfunctions during the flight. It is also designed to be secured with encrypted channels for easy communication. This is a big innovation that can redefine a city completely.
