Know Google Digital Will application for Google inactive accounts

The internet giant, Google launched the new application called Digital will that allows the user to determine what to do with online assets or Gmail accounts and drive after they no longer needed. User can use the feature called "Inactive account manager", which can be activated by new setting on Google account page. Using this feature one can pass their online data from online venues such as Gmail, YouTube, Drive or Google+ to particular people in case the account has been inactive for three, six, nine or 12 months.

Steps to enable Digital Will:-

1. Visit http://google.com/settings/account and scroll down to view the 'Account Management' option provided.

2. Now, here you can learn more about it or you can directly choose the options like "Delete profile and remove related passGoogle+ features" or "Close account and delete all services and information associated with it".

3. The user can choose the services from the list which he or she want to delete after a period.

The user is allowed to choose up to 10 friends or family members from the Gmail contacts or Google+ circles with whom they want to share their data and the time period before the information is dispersed. The user can set the timer regarding the inactivity duration with the account. If the timer reaches the set value, the data will be shared with the members to whom user has selected. The user can also burn their account with private data when the timer reaches instead of sharing them. Before it takes the drastic steps, Google will send the reminder to the user on cellphone and on the secondary email address other than Gmail and make sure that you are not interested in coming back.

This feature has ensured the privacy and security of one’s using Google services such as Blogger, Google Voice, Google Drive, Gmail, Picasa Web Album and YouTube videos, when the account remains inactive for longer period. It also means that it deletes or pass on your private data after your life so that either only trusted people can access it or no one can have it.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
