21)Any Republic of Inhospitality

India Republic Day -- While India celebrates Republic Day time and the chests of numerous Indians swell with pride at the thought of our immens e diversity and imagined military prowess it is well in order to reflect on what kind of Republic the nation has become. A republican form of government is not merely one out of which the head of state is not a hereditary monarch; rather the modern republic engraves the idea that sovereignty resides inside the people and that the will of the people as expressed through their own representatives is supreme. What has however been essential to the idea of the republic everywhere is the notion involving inclusiveness. In this respect the tales that have been coming out of India nowadays tell a tale that is chilling to the bones a tale which will leaves behind a stench that no amount of sloganeering concerning Swachh Bharat or even one thing more than a symbolic wielding of the broom can eradicate. If inclusiveness is the touchstone of an Repub

What You Need to Know About Becoming a Successful Voice Over Artist

Voice Over - Commercials are one of the best ways to advertise your product. A Voice Over is a person that reads a commercial and adds that certain flair into it to sell the product. They do this by reading the script as if they were the character in the commercial, but still adding some personality to it. They can do this for any size of advert. The only problem is that sometimes it can be expensive to have a Voice Over Professional to do your advertorial , and not everyone wants to do this, but there are other options. You can use your own voice talent or even hire a Voice Over Professional. Hiring a Voice Over will cost you money, but if you get your advertorial done well, then it will go unnoticed and people will remember your product. So the cost of hiring a Voice Over is really not that much. Even if you use your own voice talent, but you find out that you are not good at doing Voice Over, then there are others out there that will do a Voice Over advert, so there is nothing to lo

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances using UHF radio waves in the industrial, scientific and medical radio bands, from 2.402 GHz to 2.480   GHz, and building personal area networks (PANs). It was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication technology standard. Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has more than 35,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth as IEEE 802.15.1 , but no longer maintains the standard. The Bluetooth SIG oversees development of the specification, manages the qualification program, and protects the trademarks. A manufacturer must meet Bluetooth SIG standards to market it as a Bluetooth device. A network of patents apply to the technology, which are licensed to individual q

Etymology

Image
The name “Bluetooth” was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach of Intel, who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers. At the time of this proposal, he was reading Frans G. Bengtsson's historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and the 10th-century Danish King Harald Bluetooth. Bluetooth is the Anglicised version of the Scandinavian Blåtand / Blåtann (or in Old Norse blátǫnn ). It was the epithet of King Harald Bluetooth who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom, the implication being that Bluetooth unites communication protocols. Logo edit The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes  (ᚼ, Hagall) and  (ᛒ, Bjarkan), Harald's initials.

History

Image
The development of the "short-link" radio technology, later named Bluetooth, was initiated in 1989 by Nils Rydbeck, CTO at Ericsson Mobile in Lund, Sweden. The purpose was to develop wireless headsets, according to two inventions by Johan Ullman, SE 8902098-6, issued 1989-06-12   and SE 9202239, issued 1992-07-24   . Nils Rydbeck tasked Tord Wingren with specifying and Dutchman Jaap Haartsen and Sven Mattisson with developing. Both were working for Ericsson in Lund. In 1990, Jaap Haartsen was nominated by the European Patent Office for the European Inventor Award. From 1997 Örjan Johansson became the project leader and propelled the technology and standardization. In 1997, Adalio Sanchez, then head of IBM ThinkPad product R&D, approached Nils Rydbeck about collaborating on integrating a mobile phone into a ThinkPad notebook. The two assigned engineers from Ericsson and IBM to study the idea. The conclusion was that power consumption on cellphone technology at that time

Implementation

Bluetooth operates at frequencies between 2.402 and 2.480   GHz, or 2.400 and 2.4835   GHz including guard bands 2   MHz wide at the bottom end and 3.5   MHz wide at the top. This is in the globally unlicensed (but not unregulated) industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) 2.4   GHz short-range radio frequency band. Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum. Bluetooth divides transmitted data into packets, and transmits each packet on one of 79 designated Bluetooth channels. Each channel has a bandwidth of 1   MHz. It usually performs 1600   hops per second, with adaptive frequency-hopping (AFH) enabled. Bluetooth Low Energy uses 2   MHz spacing, which accommodates 40 channels. Originally, Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK) modulation was the only modulation scheme available. Since the introduction of Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, π/4-DQPSK (differential quadrature phase-shift keying) and 8-DPSK modulation may also be used between compatible devices. Devices fu

Ranges of Bluetooth devices by class Class Max. permitted power Typ. range (m) (mW) (dBm) 1 100 20 ~100 1.5 (BT 5 Vol 6 Part A Sect 3) 10 10 ~20 2 2.5 4 ~10 3 1 0 ~1 4 0.5 −3 ~0.5 Bluetooth is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other; however, a quasi optical wireless path must be viable. Range is power-class-dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice. See the table "Ranges of Bluetooth devices by class". Officially Class 3 radios have a range of up to 1 metre (3 ft), Class 2, most commonly found in mobile devices, 10 metres (33 ft), and Class 1, primarily for industrial use cases,100 metres (300 ft). Bluetooth Marketing qualifies that Class 1 range is in most cases 20–30 metres
