The pen drive sized 'Ophelia' pocket computer based on Android

Project Ophelia is an another step in the evolution of technology by Dell Inc. They are working on a new flash drive size computer that can be inserted into HDMI port of computer or any device and allows you to run all Android apps from Google Play. It acquires the features and hardware are as follows:-
It allows you to access locally-stored files securely and direct access remote desktop.

  • It will be integrated with WiFi to access Internet, and Bluetooth to connect mouse and keyboard for easy.
  • The device is capable of downloading apps, movies and TV shows from the Google Play store in addition to playing games and streaming video.
  • There is rumor that the device will run on Android 4.1.2- Jelly Bean, but the version of Android OS has not been announced yet.
  • It will come with 8GB internal storage and more can be added through mircoSD card.
  • It is an SoC with two Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1.6 GHz.
This device is especially built for users who mostly work in the cloud and will come with Wyse's PocketCloud software that allows users to access files stored on PCs, servers remotely or on mobile devices with right permission based on organization department, location and password, and the other feature is Cloud Client Manager, through which IT administrators will be able to remotely manage and secure devices. But, this can be securely connected to Windows based operating system only, not for Mac OS devices.

According to the announcement by the company, this device will be shipped around $100 from July on Dell's official website, and this device will be distributed to cable companies or Telecom providers to ship it with different data plans to consumer.

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...
