14. Present oneself a souvenir – a mini magnetic stirrer

Magnetic stirrer Magnetic stirrer is very helpful when the stirring area is packed with instruments like pH electrodes, conductivity probes etc which makes stirring by glass rod unable to work. Magnetic stirrer is also necessary for chemical reactions which require long period of stirring. A lot of magnetic stirrers are equipped with hot plates (Fig. …

12. Smartphones and the Web

(i)  Models of handsets Development of wireless handsets from 1G to 2G were based on the concept of “connecting people”, delivering both voice and text point-to-point communications. Employed technology standard of GSM was incapable of catering broadband speed requirement of data transmission, Hence, phones of that time could not connect to the internet and use …

11.  Landline (copper cable or optical fibre cable) communication and wireless (1G to 6G) communication  

11.1 Analogue and digital landline communication Transmission of line communication, or cable networking, is conducting electrical signals through solid state media. Currently some places still use analogue phone communication that employs copper cable transmitting modulated sound signals (Fig. 287). Microphone changes voice to electrical analogue signals and transmitted as amplitude modulated wave by using carrier …

10. Single-chip microcomputer/controller

From small appliances like toys, credit card readers, keyboards, colour TVs, refrigerators, air-conditioners, microwave ovens to large machines such as cars, industrial auto systems, outdoor advertisement displays, robots and even military missiles, they are not operated by formal OS-based computers. Instead, single chip microcomputers or controllers are used. Single chip microcontroller is an important branch …
