A microprocessor is digital is a digital circuit which is built using a combination logic functions. The microprocessor package contains an integrated circuit.Integrated CircuitAn integrated circuit is electronic circuit or device that has electronic components on a small semiconductor chip. It has functionality of logic AND or amplifying of a signal. These are mainly two types of circuits: Digital or Analog. Analog ICs handle continuous signals such as audio signals and Digital ICs handle discrete signals such as binary values.Types of Integrated CircuitsThere are different types of integrated circuits based various criteria. Based on intended application, the Integrated Circuit (IC) ... Read More

When it comes to buying a washing machine, many people get this doubt -- "Which is better, a front-loading machine or a top loading washing machine?"I will discuss the advantages of both and leave it for you to decide which one suits your requirements.Front load machinesThey use less water comparatively than top loading machines, and they accommodate more clothes than a top load machine because usually, the drum of front load machine is larger.Cycle time is more and washing is also done more efficiently and delicately. Wear and tear of clothes will be less.Top load machinesTop load machines have the ... Read More

Home is where the heart is! And one feels like calling a house as a home if the home is well decorated or is made attractive using flowers or fragrances that please the senses. But, gone are the days when only flowers or bonsai plants could decorate home. The latest trend is the use of electronic devices for home decor.Some of them areClocks: Clocks were used earlier just to note the time. But, these have actually become a luxury symbol now. Not only the brand makes it look costly, but also the design. The other day, I went to a ... Read More

Let’s observe them:AdvantagesKeep your loved ones in touch, either through calls, text or images, .which express the feeling in a sweet and amusing way.You may know where ... Read More

A 360-degree photo is which clicks the panoramic view of the whole image that surrounds the place from which the image was taken. These pictures deliver a virtual reality experience that enables the viewer to take a whole look surrounding the entire place shot. The image can be scrolled or swiped up, down, left and right to view the surroundings. It looks something like this:Wide UsageThe 360-degree spherical images are revolutionizing the way pictures are taken. These images are sure to bring a great change in film production, tourism, and wedding celebrations etc. where the audience will have a virtual ... Read More

The Leather is undoubtedly an expensive material as compared to its available counterparts. However, its luster and texture often get ruined with time. But we can avoid it if we handle it with a little care... gentlemen!!1. Let It Breathe: When we purchase a new leather belt, it is often packed in polythene. But once you start using it, use a cloth to cover it and wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.2. Hang Straight: Never swirl and bend your leather belt. Indeed hang it straight onto a hanger.3. Store It In Shade: Sunlight or any harsh radiant light tends ... Read More

LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The LASER action was first proposed by Einstein.Applications of a LASERA LASER can be used in many fields. Some of its usages are given here.Used In Welding and Melting: The laser beam welding is mainly used for joining components using high welding speeds and low thermal distortion.Used In Holography: The reason that a hologram cannot be made without a LASER source is that coherence length for laser source can be very high due to which sustained interference pattern will be recorded on a hologram. This suggests the indispensable ... Read More

Noise is an unwanted signal which interferes with the original message signal and corrupts the parameters of the message signal. This alteration in the communication process makes the message to get altered after reaching. It is most likely to be entered at the channel or the receiver.The noise signal can be understood by having a look at the example figure below.Hence, it is understood that noise is some signal which has no pattern and no constant frequency or amplitude. It is quite random and unpredictable. Measures are usually taken to reduce it, though it can’t be completely eliminated.Most common examples ... Read More

Among the modulation systems in the communication field, the DSBSC and SSB are the mostly used once till the VSB was invented. If the carrier is suppressed and the power saved is distributed to the two sidebands, such a process is called as Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier system, or simply DSBSC.The process of suppressing one of the sidebands, along with the carrier and transmitting a single sideband is called as Single Side Band Suppressed Carrier system, or simply SSBSC or SSB. In the case of Single Sideband modulation, when a sideband is passed through the filters, the bandpass filter ... Read More

Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals into one signal, over a shared medium. If analog signals are multiplexed, it is Analog Multiplexing and if digital signals are multiplexed, that process is Digital Multiplexing.The process of multiplexing divides a communication channel into several number of logical channels, allotting each one for a different message signal or a data stream to be transferred. The device that does multiplexing can be simply called as a MUX while the one that reverses the process which is demultiplexing, is called as DEMUX.Types of MultiplexersThere are mainly two types of multiplexers, namely analog and ...
