Improvement Track of Casting Vote during Elections: ELECTION IN INDIA BEFORE EVM: During the first two Lok Sabha elections in 1952 and 1957, and simultaneous Assembly polls, each candidate was allotted a separate ballot box. The poll symbol of the candidate or his party was pasted on the respective ballot boxes. There was no ballot paper yet with names of the candidates and respective poll symbols printed on it. The voters were required to drop a pre-printed ballot paper in the box of the candidate of their choice. The literacy in India was less than 30 per cent and such a system led to fears of manipulation, tampering and booth capturing. The separate ballot box system was replaced with a single ballot box one and now the voters were given a ballot paper with names and symbols of the candidates printed on them. WHY BALLOT PAPER WAS GIVEN UP: The printed ballot paper system was first used in the mid-term polls in Kerala and Odisha. The same system continued till 19...

What is stem cell? A cell from multi cellular organism, which capable of raising new cells or more cells of same type and from which different kind of cells can be raised by differentiation. ( Organisms which are having more than one cell are called multi cellular organisms ) What is Card Blood? Umbilical cord blood is blood that remains in the placenta and in the attached umbilical cord after childbirth. Cord blood is collected because it contains stem cells, which can be used to treat hematopoietic and genetic disorders. What is the use of Preserving Stem cells? To treat diseases that harm the blood and immune system, such as leukemia and certain cancers, sickle-cell anemia, and some metabolic disorders.

Pixel World Pixel: The minute area of illumination on display screen, one of many image is composed. Usage: Taking an example,Camera captures the data, line to line from top to bottom in a single click. In projection, cathode ray tube fires the electrons according by line to line from top to bottom on pixel elements. Each pixel elements contributes to final image. Projection: In present generation, we have different pixel sizes like 1080p, 720p.Here the pixels are formatted like width x height with the units in pixels.eg: 1920 × 1080.In the example 1920 pixels in width and 1080 pixels in height to the total screen.   If we have less count of pixels i.e., screen resolution, projection of the image on the screen will distribute to only those number of pixels. Taking an example, we have a screen with 4 pixels. The projection of image need to be distributed to only 4 pixels, leads to less quality of image.          If the screen ...

FORMATION OF CYCLONE Refers: It refers to any spinning storm that rotates around low air pressure called as Cyclone. Low Air Pressure: When the moist air move rise from water surface that particular area called as low air pressure. FORMATION OF CYCLONE: In order for a Cyclone to form it requires two ingredients: 1. Thunderstorm and 2. Ocean water must be above 26 degree centigrade. When the temperature of water above 26 degree centigrade, water evaporates, this moist air rises above the water surface to form clouds. That particular area becomes low air pressure, we know that higher air pressure always moves towards low air  pressure. Surrounding  to that area, higher air pressure moves towards low air pressure and this cool air become warm and evaporates, this system continuous. When the high pressure air moves along the earth axis, it makes clouds to rotate with high wind. These all combines to form cyclone.

INVENTION OF TOUCHPAD The introduction of laptop created a problem, how to use laptop cursor without a mouse? The solution created by American inventor Dr.George  Gerpheide.He invented touchpad in 1988, it detects fingers movement and transfer it to the on-screen cursor. Before to this invention click was the standard method of operating computer. Till 1994 it was silent that Apple Computers bought the first license to use his technology (Apple PowerBook 520). Construction and working: His touchpad works on employing several layers of material. At the top is a protective layer, about 3 inches (8cm) square, that the user touches. Underneath are several layers of electrodes arranged in horizontal and vertical rows, each separated by thin layer of insulation. These electrodes are connected to a circuit board that provides them a constant supply of alternating current. When finger touches the pad, it interrupts the current, this locality of current registered in c...

YALE LOCK Introduction: In 1861, Yale Jr. designed the cylinder pin tumbler lock, which was a lot less weight than his father design and could be opened with smaller keys. His father Mr. Linus Yale designed a lock system which was wooden and bulky. Working of Lock system: Yale Jr. lock works, when a key inserted into the cylinder lock, it pushes the bottom set of pins into alignment, when key matches to lock then all set of pins perfectly insert into the serrated edges to the key. Lock consists of two jaws, one holding all the set of pins with spring action to enter into key jaw. Key easily enters into key jaw when it matches, all the pins in the second jaw perfectly come out of it into key jaw in a plane alignment. When the key rotates, key jaw itself rotates to unlock the system, i.e, all pins align over the jock to unlock the lock. These locks were amenable to mass production with affordable price.

LIQUID FUEL ROCKET Introduce: Robert Goddard introduced liquid fuel rocket into this world. Despite met with many comments, he gave a solution to rocketry which was being used today. Using Mathematics, he worked out the energy to weight ratios of various fuels. This showed gunpowder cannot proper energy to lift a rocket into space. Also, to burn fuel in a  vacuum ,a rocket has to carry its own oxygen supply. Idea: To get around all these problems, one day he got an idea to do a experiment that mixing of gasoline gas with liquid oxygen. Oxygen as a gas takes up a lot of space, but as a liquid it gives the rocket a lot of energy with much less weight and volume. Patent and Experiment: In 1914, Goddard patented the first liquid fueled rocket.12 years later after many failed experiments, Goddard took “Nell, ”a 9-foot tall rocket, out to field. Getting an assistant to light the fuse with a blowtorch on a stick, he saw the rocket rest for a second, then s...

X-RAY TUBE Accident: Do you know this, first x-rays were produced by accident, a by-product emission from gas discharge tubes. Unknowingly high voltage applied between anode and cathode of the tube accelerates the ionized atoms of the gas into the metal cathode. This releases high energy electrons and when these electrons hit the glass of the tube,x-Rays are emitted. X-Rays emission process: X-Ray tubes are the same physical processes but here cathode is especially made for parallel beam of electrons is emitted through a window. Metal target produces both continuum of X-rays and a line spectrum. William Coolidge: William Coolidge inventor and physicist working for general electric. He worked on the properties of ductile tungsten and he was also interested on x-rays. He decided to try using tungsten as the target anode of the discharge tube. It named Coolidge tube. Coolidge tube: Coolidge tube was gas free and had a high temperature tungsten catho...

BARCODE INVENTION Root: The development of  barcode  rooted from comments by a food chain president to a university dean at the Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia. The company wanted some sort of system to collect the product information at the checkout automatically and this issue was overhead by Bernard Silver a graduate student. Then Silver and his friend Norman Woodland decided to pursue a solution. Adoption: The pair turned a combination of movie sound track technology invented by Lee De Forest in the 1920s and Morse code dots and dashes. These two just extended the dots and dashes downward and made narrow lines and wide lines out of the Morse code and this statement gave by Woodland. Pattern of working: De Forest’s film included a varying transparency pattern on its edge. When a light shined through it, sensing equipment on other side translates the change of brightness into electronic waveform that turned into sound signal...

A secret behind telescope invention First telescope invention: Before to Galileo, a practical telescope invented by Lippershey. Lippershey owned a spectacle shop, one day two of his children playing in his shop, realized that if they looked through a concave lens close to their eye and another concave lens at arm’s length, the local church tower was greatly magnified. Their father, Hans Lippershey mounted two lens in a tube and tried to sell the device to Dutch Army. Another person named Zacharius Janssen claimed that device copied by Lippershey from me. Jansen and Lippershey lived in the same town and both worked on making optical instruments. Scholars generally argue, however, that there is no real evidence that Lippershey did not develop his telescope independently. Patents were given to Lippershey. Galileo: Later the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo heard about the new device when he was in Venice in May 1609.Returning to his University in nearby Padua,...
