Robot Sewing Demonstration from Sewbo, Inc. from Jon Zornow on Vimeo . Today, sewing relies on the low-tech power of human hands, but soon that may not be the case. Human workers are still needed for the final steps of making clothes, in order to align fabrics and correctly feed them into sewing machines. If robots could do that instead, shock waves of change would surely ripple through global supply chains and disrupt the lives of millions of low-wage earners in the developing world. For better or worse, plenty of technologists, researchers, and companies are working on the challenge of automating textile sewing but so far, getting robots to navigate the imprecisions of flimsy textile materials that easily bend has proven elusive. One promising solution, though, has come from the brain of Jonathan Zornow, a young freelance web developer with no previous background in robotics, manufacturing, or the apparel business. His project, Sewbo, recently demonstrated the wo...

VCC (power supply), GND (ground), VPP (voltage programming power), I/O (input/output), D- (USB Inter-chip) A subscriber identity module or Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices ,such as mobile phones and computers. It is also a portable memory chip used mostly in cell phones that operate on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. These cards hold the personal information of the account holder, including his or her phone number, address book, text messages, and other data. When a user wants to change phones, he or she can usually easily remove the card from one handset and insert it into another. SIM cards are convenient and popular with many users, and are a key part of developing cell phone technology. Sim Cards are of four (4) Types. Named as Below H1, H2, ...

In late 2015, India announced their belief that solar would become cheaper than coal, by 10%, within the next five years. This was a tremendous milestone, considering that India houses 6 out of 10 of the most polluted cities in the world. So what do we do with that prediction? Well, take the next five years, and cut that into one year. India announced in april 2016 that solar is now cheaper than coal, and it’s on a fast track to having a hefty supply of it. This is notable, as solar and renewable energy sources are extremely important for reducing air pollution. Especially in poorer, developing nations, this switch from non-renewables to renewables is absolutely crucial. With that switch comes the need to assess costs. Money is always a determining factor. Is it more beneficial to build a solar grid that’s more expensive than building and maintaining a coal-fired power plant? But now, this question may not be necessary, as capital costs are down a staggering 60% i...

The new year is upon us, and it’s time to look toward what the next 365 days have in store. I look at what the best Linux distributions  of 2016 were and would be for 2017, to be found from the ever-expanding crop of possibilities. Of course, I cannot just create a list of operating systems and say “these are the best,” not when so often Linux can be very task-oriented. To that end, I’m going to list which distros got the most pageviews in the last 12 months on Distrowatch.com 10.) Arch Linux -    Architecture: arm, i686, x86_64 Desktop: Cinnamon, Enlightenment, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Xfce Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686- and x86_64-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users. It uses 'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking. Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server. The ...
