Create transparent background image using Inkscape

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor application similar to Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand or Xara X. It can be run on variety of OS based systems like Windows and Linux. Inkscape provides distinct sketching features to the users and allow to save your file distinct available extension. One can create variety of drawing and sketches using this tool but, making a background transparent of your drawing is what i consider an additional feature provided by Inkscape.
How to make background transparent:
1. Install Inkscape tool in your PC and run it. You can choose the size of your drawing sheet according to your need.

2. Now, make your drawing using Inkscape tools available on the right hand side tool bars. You can add different stylish and embedded effects to your drawing and text. To make background transparent image, you have to create drawing using Inkscape provided tools only.

3. After sketching, press "Shift+Ctrl+D". A small window will emerge on the screen having different tabs to select. From them, you have to select "Page" tab.


4. In Page tab, there is general category in which background option is there. Click on "background" option, and again a small window will be opened up which define the background color of your drawing.

5. From this window, Select "RGB" tab and then, select "A" or "Alpha (opacity)"option (under RGB color selection). Now, reduce the value of "A" or "Opacity" tool to zero and then, close the window.


6. Click on "Save as" option to save your drawing with transparent background. In save as window, you have to save your file in "Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)" extension and save it. It will ask an option- Convert text to paths, so choose option OK.

7. Now, you can change the extension of your file to .jpg format to upload it to websites.


NOTE:- While saving the file with transparent background, you have to use only Enhanced Metafile (.emf) extension only. In other extension, it won't appear with transparent background. After, that you can make changes with extension of file and convert it into .jpg format.

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...

Samsung Refrigerator runs on Android OS with Wifi feature

Today, you think that only smartphones are getting smart and daily launched with new technology. So, look at Samsung T9000 refrigerator that is installed with 10-inch touchscreen running on Android OS and having Wi-Fi feature included with apps such as Epicurious for recipes and Evernote for note-taking. In fact, this fridge has been launched in the Consumer Electronics Show 2013, Vegas and it will be available at $3999. Innovation inside the refrigerator T9000: - The Samsung T9000 is a 32-cubic-foot, four-door fridge that has two compressors, three evaporators and a large number of various sensors with storage capacity of 722 liters. The innovation added is 10-inch Wi-Fi enabled touchscreen that can help you navigate Internet and help you to decide what should be cooked and what are the recipes. Features: One can also create shopping list using the Evernote app and this list can be viewed on your smartphone with synchronizing feature. It help...
