Smart Engineer's

Three lawyers and three engineers were travelling by train to a conference. At the station, each lawyer bought a ticket whereas the engineers bought only one ticket between them. ‘How are you going to travel on a single ticket?’ asked a lawyer. ‘Wait and watch’, answered one of the engineers. When they boarded the train, the lawyers took their seats, but the three engineers crammed into a toilet and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the train started, the ticket collector arrived. He knocked on the toilet door and asked, "Ticket, please." The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The ticket collector took it and moved on. Seeing this, the lawyers decided to the same thing on the return trip so when they arrived at the station they bought only one ticket. To their astonishment, the engineers didn’t buy any. ‘How are you going to travel without a ticket?’ asked one of the perplexed lawyers. “Wait and watch”, answ...

Electricity While You Walk Short Bytes:  A research paper published in the journal Nature Communications throws light on a new research in progress under the MIT roofs. It is a new system developed by Professor Ju Li and his team, which converts mechanical energy directly into electricity. A nother marvel from the research powerhouse  MIT , is of an electrochemistry principle-based system, designed to harness electrical energy  directly from mechanical energy. The research finds its presence in a research paper by MIT professor Ju Li, graduate students Soon Ju Choi and Sangtae Kim, and four others, published in the journal Nature Communications. Li believes that the newly developed system can be used to engineer wearable tech, as it provides a more pliant build. It can easily withstand any mechanical stress applied to it. Though, chances are less any humans will be able to break it. With a resemblance to the  Li-ion batteries , th...

You Can Fold LG’s New OLED Displays Like A Newspaper  At CES 2016, LG is expected to launch the new foldable OLED displays. LG is known for its work in the ultra-thin display segments and it’s moving ahead to make the truly futuristic devices a possibility. Dead pixels OLED65G6V, OLED65G6Y, OLED65G6T, OLED65G6P, OLED65G6K; and OLED77G6V, OLED77G6Y, OLED77G6T, OLED77G6P, OLED77G6K.

At CES 2016, LG is expected to show off proof-of-concept displays and a 25-inch “waterfall” curved screen wrapped on the car in the Auto Zone section. Right now, the resolution is 1,200 by 810 pixels. How did they do it? Of course they wouldn't share the precise details, but the crucial technological leap has been moving from LED TVs to OLED TVs. The O stands for organic, and it removes the necessity of a back panel providing light to the screen. Therefore,...

Engineering Joke

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.  The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."...

Microsoft Will Warn You If Your Government Tries To Hack You

Following the footsteps of Google, Twitter, Facebook and others, Microsoft has announced that it will start notifying the users if their accounts are attacked by some government. Labeling the state-sponsored attacks as more sophisticated, Microsoft said that such attacks need extra defense layers. In a recent announcement, Microsoft has said that it will notify users if it believes that your government is trying to hack your computer or sniff your data. Microsoft writes in a  blog post . At many occasions, the “state-sponsored” attacks are more sophisticated. Hence, to sustain these attacks, such extra steps need to be taken.   If Redmond believes that your Microsoft accounts are attacked, it will send you a notification. However, this notification doesn’t necessarily mean that Microsoft’s systems have been compromised. So, if you receive such notifications by Microsoft, you need to take extra caution and make sure that your devices are clean. In the past, Google...
