What if every light bulb had its own unique Internet IP address? The possibilities are endless: You could monitor, manage and control every light bulb from any Internet-enabled device- turning lights on and off individually, dimming or creating scenes from your smartphone, tablet, PC or TV – to save energy as well as electricity costs.
NXP has unveiled technology that has to potential to provide every light bulb with its own IP address. In this
way, light bulbs could be controlled from any internet enabled device. The approach builds on its recent
acquisition of Jennic.
The technology, called GreenChip, is small enough to fit within the base of a regular energy efficient light
bulb. Two versions will be launched: GreenChip iCFL, for use with compact fluorescents (cfl); and GreenChip
iSSL, for use with leds. Both chipsets can act as dimmable drivers for smart lamps and are accompanied by:
a standby supply controller, with 10mW no load capability; a 2.4GHz IEEE802.15.4 compatible wireless
microcontroller; and wireless connectivity, enabled by the JenNet IP network layer software.
John Croteau, NXP’s general manager, power lighting solutions and high performance RF, said: “chipset has very low power consumption so it doesn’t negate the benefits of energy efficient lighting. And the cost structure is such that it can ship in consumer light bulbs.”
NXP is partnering with TCP, a leading manufacturer of cfl and led lamps. “TCP makes more than 1million
light bulbs a day,” said Croteau, “and will be launching consumer ready products. This is not a technology
demonstrator.” A further partnership with GreenWave Reality will see an intelligent lighting control and
management solution becoming available.
NXP will also making the technology available under an open source licence and will establish a
consortium to oversee its development. “There will not be an ‘internet of things’ if technology is proprietary or with royalties,” Croteau noted, adding “and if it only works with the iPhone, it won’t be deployable.”
NXP will be taking on ZigBee in the emerging wireless control sector, even though Croteau said this
wouldn’t be the case. “It’s not about competing with ZigBee,” Croteau claimed, “it’s about delivering
something people want to buy.”
Here is a video about this Smart lightning.

One will accept that if i say that world today is totally dependent on the field of Electronics for almost all matters. And the electronic technology we use can be made simplified for our daily life activities.
Today i am going to show one such idea i.e. simplified battery using lemon.
Basically when two dissimilar metals are suspended in acid it forms the battery. So i am preparing a battery which is called as lemon battery.
Lemon contains citric acid and when two wires are connected across it we should get some voltage.
But the voltage we get is very small. And this experiment can be done on other items also like tomato etc which contains acid content in it. The voltage we get for different items are different. And if you ask what is use when small voltage is present as it is not capable of lighting a single bulb also?
But this voltage can be increased but connecting more and more lemons in series so that the voltage produced across them will be large enough to lit a bulb. And i have my first video tutorial on this experiment. You can see the proof of this post by watching the below video. :)

For this tablet external car charger and antenna are provided as accessories and one more thing is that you can connect an external keyboard case whenever needed.
Drawbacks of this tablet:
This tablet with lot of features has also have some of the drawbacks i.e its screen touch is of resistive type which makes the scrolling little bit tough and its camera is VGA camera.And the main drawback is that it has no place in Android market.
But this Android with relatively low price is going to rock really with more that 1,50,000 applications and games.

Here is a video of this tablet by NDTV watch it:
What is meant by antenna ??
Antenna is a piece of wire or a metal rod used to transmit or receive signals. There are many antennas available now a days.
The most basic antenna is called "a quarter wave vertical", it is a quarter wavelength long and is a vertical radiator. Typical examples of this type would be seen installed on motor vehicles for two way communications. Technically the most basic antenna is an "isotropic radiator". This is a antenna which radiates in all directions as does the light from a lamp bulb. It is the standard against which we sometimes compare other antennas.

Yagi uda is also a type of antenna whose radiation will be more stronger in one direction only.You can clearly understand when you see its radiation pattern.
You can see that radiation of the antenna is more in one direction and less in other direction.
Please open the above image in new tab if you can't see properly..
The second dipole in the Yagi-Uda array is the only driven element with applied input/output source feed, all the others interact by mutual coupling since receive and reradiate electromagnetic energy; they act as parasitic elements by induced current. It is assumed that an antenna is a passive reciprocal device, then may used either for transmission or for reception of the electromagnetic energy.To increase the transmission power to greater kms the aperture of the antenna is increased so that the radiation pattern becomes more narrower and consequently the gain grows.You can understand still clearly by watching this video.
Thanks for watching.

Hi friends today i am going to introduce you the National Instruments PCB design and Simulation software.
Using this software you can create any circuit designs and simulate them and check out weather the circuit is correct or not.You can learn how to build your own circuits.
There are many software's for designing a circuit but among all of them NI is ultimate one and it has all the features to use.
Recently NI has released a latest version of Multisim and Ultiboard that is v11.0.2 it has all the features for anyone who wants to design a circuit.The working speed is increased in this version.
This Multisim has features as many as 20,000+ components.
With more than 2,500 new devices and updates, Multisim 11.0.2 features a major increase in its component database. This latest release equips you with new symbols, SPICE models and footprints so you can design, validate and prototype more in less time.
Here are some of the screen shots of v11.0.2 :-
With this software you will get some of the sample design circuits which you see them and learn.
Some new features added in this version are:
Easier Capture with New Schematic Net System
Improved Visualization with Grapher Enhancements
Enhanced Analog SPICE Simulation Features
New NI Example Finder
New Programmable Logic Design from Schematic
