BOM- Bill of Material is the essential part of a project as well as product and helps in finalizing the overall cost of a project going to cost. Every user or developer working on some project or product need to know the cost of components and total cost going to spend on a project and for this, one has to create a list and then, calculate the cost of the individual component.  If you are using Proteus 8 ISIS professional software, you must have noticed the Bill of Material feature which can help you to analyze and auto-create the list of components used in your circuit diagram.  Steps to create BOM of a circuit: 1. Click on the " dollar icon " option on the GUI list bar below the main menu bar.  2. Here, you will see the list of all components used in your circuit diagram.  3.

Google this week announced a new feature for Gmail and Google Docs that allows users to hand write their emails and documents using their computer mouse or trackpad. "Whether you’re a student trying to include a foreign phrase in your paper or an international consultant hoping to begin your message with a friendly local greeting, now you’ll be able to use your own handwriting to input words directly into Gmail and Google Docs with your mouse or trackpad," Google said in a blog post. As you might figure, the handwriting feature isn't geared primarily to English-writing users. Rather, the feature has been added for users who find it more convenient to write words in their language instead of typing them out. That includes Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and Russian, Google points out in its blog. Steps to use Handwriting tool: 1. To add, users click the gear icon -> setting s.  2. Then, you will the language option.In the language section, users click " Show al...

In the race to bring the first true octa core processor, Samsung, Apple etc. have been beaten by a relatively unknown smartphone maker. Chinese smartphone, UMI X2S, has taken the podium with the MediaTek MT6592 system on chip processor powering it. The device was reportedly showcased at an electronics fair in Hong Kong recently. A true octa core processor is that where all the eight cores can function simultaneously.  MediaTek’s processor is not the only octa core chip available for mobile processing at the moment, but, it was the first. When Samsung had announced its Exynos 5 octa core chip, it had raised expectations by quite a bit. But, it later turned out that the company had basically just put together two quad core chips, which were incapable of coming functioning together. Motorola also had come up with the X8 octa core chip, but this wasn’t a true octa core processor either. UMI is a brand, which is basically unknown as compared to giants like Samsung and Google-ow...

Express PCB is a very easy to use Windows application for laying out printed circuit boards. One will find a rectangular box on Express PCB screen with yellow colored border. This rectangular can be expanded using only three corner points not the first one as it is fixed as the reference. A beginner can create his or her circuit diagram for PCB in this rectangle only. See the below image, corners that can be adjusted are marked. Express PCB contains two bars- one on its top called top menu bar and other on its side called side toolbar . Both are used together to make a complete circuit diagram. But, the important toolbar is the side toolbar.  See the list of components in the below image. (1) Select button- It is selected to select a component and to get back your mouse cursor function. (2) Zoom view- It is clear from its name but slightly different from other zooming features. As, it zoom only the selected area. You select an area which you want to see clearly ...

Express PCB is a circuit designing tool and good start for beginners who want to get expertise on electronic circuit designing. A beginner has to install Express PCB to get start with it. After installation, one get two icon of circuit designing- Express PCB and Express SCH for schematic circuit diagram. I would like to post about the menu bar of Express PCB. The tools in Express PCB and Express SCH are same but the only difference is the circuit diagram made in both. One make on board circuit diagram which gives impression of circuit diagram on PCB and the other, Express SCH gives the view simple schematic view of an electronic circuit. Tools Description: (1). Used to open the previously saved in file in Express PCB. (2). Save the circuit diagram in Express PCB format and can be opened only in Express PCB software. (3).

‘ Green ’ entrepreneurs are people who pursue business goals keeping in mind the sustainable development of society. They are actually change agents, who are showing the path to ­others as to how sustainability can be kept in mind even when prioritizing profit maximisation. In today’s age, just meeting environmental standards is not enough! Entrepreneurs need to look at how environmentally conscious their organisation is due to various reasons such as customer perception, curtailing cost, revenues etc. In the last few years, awareness of environmental and societal concerns has grown so rapidly, that green businesses are becoming more and more mainstream. As, the consumer preferences are changing so they want products and services which they perceive as being eco-friendly. Some years ago one might have said that these opportunities exist only in developed countries, but today, the developing countries have leapfrogged into a time when green businesses are growing rapidly in scope Cl...

Mendocino motor is a solar-powered magnetically-levitated electric motor. Watch how light is turned into motion with this magnetically levitating electric motor. About Mendocino Motor: - According to Wikipedia definition, The motor consists of rotor block, which has two sets of windings and a solar cell attached to each side with the shaft placed in the middle. The shaft is positioned horizontally and has a magnet at each end. These magnets provide levitation by repelling magnets in a base under the motor. Working of this project: - First of all build the base that holds magnets and provides a bearing point for the motor. Then, wind the motor coils and solder the solar cells with them. When the light strikes the solar cells, they generate the electric current and thus, energizing the motor windings. This produces magnetic field which interacts with the field of the magnet under the rotor. This interaction causes the rotor to turn. As the rotor rotates, the next solar cell m...
