Intel Light Peak Optical Tech: allows 10Gb/s speed

2009-09-24T23:56:00.001-07:00

A new high-speed cable technology designed to connect to electronics devices name Light Peak has unveiled by Intel at IDF. Using this technology you can transfer an entire Blu-Ray disk in 30 seconds. According to Intel

Existing electrical cable technology in mainstream computing devices is approaching practical limits for speed and length, due to electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and other issues. However, optical technology, used extensively in data centers and telecom communications, does not have these limitations since it transmits data using light instead of electricity. Light Peak brings this optical technology to mainstream computing and consumer electronic devices in a cost-effective manner.

This technology could conceivably go as fast as 100Gb/s within a decade. [via Intel]

How to open a CHM file through your C# application.

2009-07-20T02:19:00.001-07:00

To use a CHM help manual for your application, you need to first create a CHM help file for your project. After Creating your CHM file, you need to link it thorough your C# application. Let me show you how you can open it from your C# application.

Assuming that you all know how to start a new project on visual studio, I skip all those steps. As you can see above there is simple windows application contains only a single button. Now to open a CHM file by clicking on the “View Help Topics” Button, you have to write a single line code only. Double click on the “View Help Topics” Button and write the code below inside the scope of Button1_Click function.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (Application.StartupPath + "\\Help Document.chm");

After writing this code it will look like this

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

How to create a CHM Help file for your Software applications.

2009-07-19T15:09:00.001-07:00

Creating a help manual for your application makes it easy for user of your application to understand it and use it properly without any external help. Now as we are talking about the help files, Compiled HTML help is a best solution. With Compiled HTML you can create your own eBook or a user manual for your applications.

CHM files are some-what a set of Html type web pages which has a table of content that are hyperlinked. So, lets talk on how you create your own CHM help file or an eBook etc. The steps are as follow:

To create your CHM file you need to have Microsoft Office Word.

Step # 1.

First Create your help document on Microsoft Office Word. It is like creating a normal document. Create Headings for the topics of your file and then add your content for each heading or you can add sub headings. To give a clear idea I have created a sample document in which I use three main headings and two sub headings for each main heading, see picture below.

Step # 2:

Now as you done creating your word document, you have to convert it to a CHM file. To convert it from word file to CHM file you need a DOC to CHM converter, which is easily available on the web. I am using Macrobject’s Word-To-CHM converter to demonstrate you how it would be done. Now let me take the above document and convert it to CHM using the converter.

Complete all required fields and click convert. You will find a yellow question mark icon file, on the destination folder you have given for output CHM file, see below.

Step # 3

Use the converted CHM file wherever you want, for example as a user manual for your application.

I hope you will find this quick tutorial helpful. Please do comment if you need any help.

Disney Pixar UP Review

2009-07-15T12:11:00.001-07:00

Disney Pixar Up is a great Old man Carl Fredricken’s adventure who finally full fills his life long dream. I really enjoyed the movie. The story is really cool and the combination of a 78-years-old balloon salesman and the 8-years-old Wildness explorer named Russell is awesome. On their journey Carl and Russell meets some other interesting characters including a Bird Kevin named by Russell. This is an extremely rare, 13-foot tall flightless bird, hidden from the world in its remote paradise. After that Russell and Carl meets a talking dog “DUG” who is actually not a talking dog but have a gadget on his collar which translate his thoughts into speech. Dug is a lovable golden mutt, part of the dog pack searching for a rare, flightless bird. If you are tired from your work and want to be fresh then its a great movie to refresh you up. My favorite character in this movie is Russell.

Nokia Indoor positioning

2009-07-14T01:06:00.001-07:00

Mobile phones are being used as the most important aspect of life. Today you can already use your mobiles to navigate yourself to other places. What if there is something which navigate you inside the building.

Have you ever been in a rush to catch your connecting flight in the airport, without knowing exactly where to head? How about that beautiful Monet painting, still haven’t seen it in the museum and there is only 30 minutes left before the museum closes? Need to find your favorite fashion outlet quickly in a new shopping mall?

Indoor positioning will make it easy to find your way indoor. Your mobile will find the point of interest you are looking for and then guide you there in the building. You can even find your friends when its time to go home. isn’t that exciting?

How does this work?

The mobile uses the buildings’ WLAN infrastructure to triangulate your position and then indicates where you are on a building map. Nokia prototypes today can show your location - building section and floor level. They allow you to browse the building, find points of interest and you can even share your position with the people you choose, when you want. Today Nokia has Indoor Positioning trials ongoing within 40 buildings worldwide.

In order to enable indoor positioning in buildings, the indoor positioning solution requires a list of available WLAN access points and their approximate location in the building. Based on this list, which often already exist due to network planning, the indoor position is calculated. Nokia is working on and testing algorithms capable of finding your indoor position to within a few meters.
