Many modern mobile phones and other touch screen devices (like GPS systems and tablet PC’s) feature what is known as a ‘capacitive touchscreen’. These high quality, solid glass screens look great and are extremely durable, but have one noticeable drawback – they do not work when you are wearing gloves. Therefore, it is necessary to remove your gloves every time you want to text, tweet or make a phone call in winter. That is, unless you use specially manufactured “touchscreen gloves”, which allow you to use your favourite touch screen device in freezing weather, whilst your hands stay toasty and warm. Touchscreen gloves are a fantastic innovation, looking at first glance like any other winter glove – but look more closely and you will see they have some unique properties, allowing you to touch and swipe on a touchscreen without taking off the glove.

The principle behind touch screen gloves is in fact very simple. The cotton or synthetic fabric used to create normal gloves is an electrical insulator, meaning that it does not conduct electricity. Therefore, the gloves block the tiny electrical currents that pass between the users finger and the capacitive touchscreen, so the device can not detect where on the screen the user has touched. However, in touch screen gloves, an additional element is include in the design process to address this problem. There are a few different approaches that have been taken by various manufacturers, and these are set out below: Read more…

WiFi Signal Strength Meters

August 05, 2011 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Technology

Technology has revolutionized our life. The twentieth century has led to a series of technological innovations that dramatically reshaped the way people communicated at a global level. New means of communication speeded the pace of life and people started looking for more convenient ways to do things easily. This brought in portable and anytime accessible laptops with a standard wireless networking as known as WiFi.

WiFi, a widely used technology in wireless communication, is a local area network that uses high frequency radio signals to transmit and receive data over distances of a few hundred feet. It provides wireless access to applications. It was in 2002, the information technology industry made a break through with the launch of a product that worked on new standards. Today, we have WiFi signal strength meters developed on IEEE 802.11 standards.

WiFi provides its users the freedom of connecting to the Internet from any place. They can use any device such as a personal computer, video game console, smartphone or digital audio player from their home, office or a public place without the hassles of plugging in the wires. WiFi is quicker than the conventional modem for accessing information over a large network. Using different amplifiers, the users can easily change their location without any disruption in the network access. The location where the users can connect to the network is called a WiFi hotspot. There are different WiFi software tools available in the market. They are specifically designed for different types of networks and operating systems. Some of them are Aircrack-ng, NetStumbler, OmniPeek, Stumbverter, WiFi Hopper, and APTools. Read more…
