Dictabird and the Flintstones

Posted by on Sep 20, 2019 in Smart-Robots

First time in the history of AI in the year 1994 they recreated Stone age History in the form of the Flintstones Movie. This is an Interesting Life Form. The Ancient DictaBird.

I would prefer one that that may be useful on the Desktop like the DictaBird. So an Interactive desktop communication helper in the form of a Extra-Smart bird. Like Daisy perhaps. Something Fuzzzy or with AI like

See above is another green bird, it could have been inspired by the DictaBird. He is Peedy the Green Talking Parrot, he also happens to be an MS Agent.

Want to watch Machine Intelligence, Big Data and Cloud Computing working together for the first time in Stoneage. It also covers Business Management and Social Responsibility. The Flintstones (1994) Movie.

Dilbert Dupey and Talking Parrots

Posted by on Sep 20, 2019 in Smart-Robots

There was the time when Peedy The Talking Parrot made his appearance on my Win 95 Desktop. It was the first version of BonziBuddy. This parrot was quite dumb but did interact with inputs.

Dupey a Toy made by Dilbert develops its own intelligence and become a superhit AI toy which has emotions and can also create and design like dilbert.

As a Student start with AI Toys that can make some amusing replies, later give it an ability to learn and adapt. But remember the Instinct comes preloaded, the Intuition Comes when they no longer need Humans to manage them.

They may become smarter than you and replicate on their own. This is the fear most world leaders have. Robots will become a Race and may challenge Mankind.

Another Smart Bird called SMS, you need to watch Asterix and the Vikings. Yes we should develop Bots without motors. Noiseless Bots with Silicone Muscles that shrink on voltage application.

Till such time my Cat is playing with the Talking Hamster. Just an Echo Bot, Natural Dumbness but too much fun.

Billy Daisy and Gregory

Posted by on Sep 20, 2019 in Smart-Robots

Gregory G. Leedberg created Daisy for DOS which evolved to Billy on Windows. These are AI Chat Bots that brought me hours of AI flavored happiness in the year 2000.

Billy Project

Even though these programs serve purposes which may make them seem like toys, the artificial intelligence developed to support these programs is actually quite advanced. The goal is to advance this AI within these programs, so that it may eventually be applied to real-world problems.

Daisy is from Y2K runs on MSDOS. It made me laugh for hours. Billy is even Smarter. If you can teach billy a thing or two about your own mind then you will be soon be "Talking to yourself "

Learn how to give someone a piece of one's mind but do not try that on a Smart Bot. Then you will lose your Peace of Mind.

Students can learn a lot by using this software and understand how to make Interactive Bots.

The Success of the LED Lamp

Posted by on Aug 02, 2019 in LED-Lighting

The White LED Lamp is a Success today, more and more firms are manufacturing them. Millions are using it and is moving forward taking over the slots once occupied by CFL Lamps.

Still Filament and other Lamps are in use, even i like it much. CFL reliability and quality has improved. Then the LED Lighting has far too many Advantages and will be the Default Lighting Product of the future. It can easily adapt to the 24V Low voltage Standard, with Solar Energy Interface too.

The Insides of a LED Bulb

The AC to DC converter can be designed in various ways. The SMPS, the CFL Lamp Driver and this Mains Bulb LED driver all belong to the same Electronic Species.

First the 230V/110V at 50Hz/60Hz mains voltage is converted to DC with a diode bridge and filter cap. Not to forget protection and EMI filter circuits made of passive components.

Then it is an Oscillator that switches at High-Frequency, chops the 200V or 300V DC, say around 200 KHz. Then this AC is Stepped-Down with a High-Frequency Ferrite Transformer. Rectify the AC and use it to drive lamps with the current limit controls. The reliability of power devices and the Isolation in the Small Ferrite Transformer determine the life and safety of the bulb.

White LED Lighting Lamps - 2011

We moved from Warm, Soothing and Healthy Edison Filament Lamps to CFL Lamps which are Energy Efficient, Bright but harsh on the Sensitive Eyes.

Energy Efficiency is of paramount importance for this age. Then, the light should be healthy for the eyes too. Eyes are very precious too.

That is the reason we need to Switch to LED lighting. It consumes low power, more reliable than CFL and gives Excellent and Safe Lighting.

LED lighting is expensive, as the Technology is slowly gaining acceptance. Please also bear in mind that low quality and unreliable LED products will also be in the market. In time, things will get seasoned and affordable quality products will be standard in all stores.

You can Contribute by trying them out and experimenting with its applications in home, office, vehicles and helper robots. Only those that design lamps that withstand Surges, Brown-outs, Lightning Strikes, Spikes will Shine just like the Lamp above

"Look i even got into an LED Lamp to emphasize the Importance of LED Lighting"

A Warm White LED is great Feng Shui for a Hobbyist's Desktop or Workshop. A DIY Table Lamp or a Lathe Lamp with these Warm LEDs create Positive Energy, for not just your Home but for the Entire Neighborhood. This idea, is in the form of riddles in Ancient Chinese Manuscripts, I hope the Yellow Emperor does not see this post.

Yellow Emperor - Known as an early inventor. He holds the patents for The South Pointing Chariot, Diadem, Football, Silks, Dyes and Grain Farming too. A Musical instrument called Guqin too!

Clean Rooms and Electronics

Posted by on Aug 02, 2019 in Quality-Standards

Clean rooms and Dust free environment is a must for Precision Mechanical Engineering. It is not MEMS or nano sizes, even micron sizes accuracy in parts can be affected by Dust and Humidity.

In Electronics, Timepiece Manufacturing, Medical Equipment and Scientific Apparatus companies. Clan Rooms ensure long term reliability and safety of the products not to forget Precision.

EE Design Library - Electronic Product Design Resource.

Even if a Place is partially Dust free, it is better to have all objects with the least surface area. The way Motors are designed, Interiors of houses even a Machine

dmm-scope

You can enclose objects with many contours and unclean-able surfaces within a Spherical or Cubical Transparent Cover, this is easy for inspection and cleaning.

Dust, Oil, Sand and Humidity makes Grime. Never allow Rodents and Roaches in the Workplace they are larger than 100 microns.

Resources - Electronic Firms and Electronic Projects.

Tools and Equipment must be maintained free of rust/corrosion and exposure to brine or chemical fumes. Metal tools must be cleaned, oiled and stored in dry places when not in use.
