Powerful T-rays

This machine was created that can see through clothes. It uses terahertz rays or t-rays, an electromagnetic type radiation with low-energy emissions whose frequencies lies between infrared and microwaves. It is non-ionizing radiation and safer for us than x-rays. It can be used to detect cancer, or check for genetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Electronic Ink, Electronic Paper

The electronic ink, known as electronic paper (e-paper), looks very much like a regular ink on paper but it is not. The wonder of electronic ink is that no power needed to display indefinite amounts of text. Many attempts have been done to produce ideal ink and paper tandem but the latest development of research pertains to colloidal crystals.

Talking Alarm Clock

I love this new gadget of mine- the alarm clock, which announces the time on an hourly basis. Well, it can be switched off by pressing the talk button that is located on top of the clock. This talking alarm clock has a small digital screen placed underneath the clock. You can see the hour and the minute settings too. It is available in Turquoise or orange. If you feel to wake up in the morning with the Cockerel sound, you can have this gadget. The talking alarm clock needs 2x AA batteries to operate.

Lead- Free Soldering

The pace in Semiconductor and Electronics Company is very fast, to survive with this kind of business one should meet the criteria of the customer which are High Quality, Speed/Delivery, Cost, Safety and Environment friendly.
Lead Free technology had drastically went up, with the WEEE/RoHS directives outlawing lead from electronics, manufacturers around the world are driving the implementation of lead free electronics assembly to be competent in this business.

The main reason for shifting to Lead free process is because the solder lead is hazardous to health that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma or even death. And also can contaminate or poison the environment.

The advantage of Lead free solder: Environment friendly, specific heat is large, non poisonous and electric resistance is small. For its disadvantage; the material cost is higher, higher melting point and has dull and un-shinny finished.
