Intelligent Products Instead Of Waiting Loops

With the Internet of things, new worlds of service may arise in five years expects TrendONE Chief Nils Muller service innovations, which can lead to an end of the hotline hold Nuremberg -. This is at least his thesis, which he will present in October as one of the keynote speakers of the specialist Congress of Voice days plus in Nuremberg. We talk a lot about the Outernet currently. In the Outernet blend products and services in one intelligent unit, which is perceived by customers as a brand experience. The Internet virtually exploded from the computer in the real world. Especially on products that we use every day.

A BMW will be connected directly to the Internet – and is possible yes even now with the BMW ConnectedDrive. While sitting in the car, push a button and say: I’m looking for a three-star restaurant, where I can eat fish excellent.’ And then you get a reply directly. This is the Outernet: you must start at all no computer, but the product itself, in this case the car is directly connected to the Internet. Be so in the future “about the Internet of things all Internet-capable products”, explains Muller. The philosopher Peter Koslowski talks about a revolution of the world of things, if the silence of the object world is overcome.

According to Muller, new service worlds arise thereby. If washing machines, coffee vending machines, cars and even food are networked, hybrid products that can be directly linked with services arise. Each product can get a direct link to the customer service, feedback, communication, and dialogue. Kapoor’s capacity for dialogue describes the world as Transpondenkonnen”: there are possible although no answers to any questions, but things could give feedback on clearly formulated questions. So far, the human-to-human contact dominated for services. The Internet of things we experience a human product interaction”, says Muller.

Division Hardware

Now in principle, the clock frequency as the CPU speed computer hardware part 9: what we know makes the CPU. But who determines when the next command can be processed? So that no mess is created, everything runs within the CPU synchronized with a predetermined frequency. The clock determines when a new command can be edited. That is, in turn, that no command (or part of a complex command) may take longer than this clock cycle. The first IBM PC in the early 1990s, called in the 7th part of this article series, had a clock rate of 5MHz. Now, that sounds like not too much processing power. If you however clear, what means this number, the thing looks different.

It means that the processor is above five million cycles per second and can handle as many (simple) commands during this time. At one GHz, there are already a billion instructions per second. Of course, there are not only these simple commands, which can be handled completely within a bar. In accordance with part 5 of the article can you imagine that an addition of binary numbers is easier than E.g. a Division. These commands are divided then into multiple clock cycles to unnecessarily delay the faster-working commands.

The clock rates were faster in the early days of PC development. Later, there was a veritable race to higher clock rates among the chip manufacturers. A few years after the turn of the Millennium but got in trouble to leave this rapid development. Including simple physical reasons. Another problem is also that so much of the CPUs was screwed, now entirely different components can slow down the system. While the CPU from 5 MHz to 3 GHz today was clocked, which is in this case an increase of the 600, E.g. the memory became only a fraction faster. Also hard drives were bigger brakes of a PC. “So, that meant that CPUs of but enough power” had, but some not could use these, because they are waiting for other components had to. “A solution to the problem is the parallelization so that multiple commands simultaneously in various pipelines” can be edited. This is but too much in detail. The next article will rotate to a different solution to this problem: the cache memory.

In early 2007, Asus demonstrated one of the first netbook – Eee pc, has created a new undoubted interest from buyers, and manufacturers of other brands of laptops. October 15, 2007 Intel has made a declaration on the development of new Diamondville processor designed for netbooks. Summer of 2008, Intel has shown the world its processors Atom, which are now found in most netbooks. The financial crisis has made notebooks more attractive – the purchase ability decreased, and these are available on price as a device adapted for the Internet and office applications, great falling well for everyday tasks, come at an opportune moment. Netbooks which can be found on sale, mostly similar in their characteristics – cpu Intel Atom 1.6 GHz, ram 1024 mb, 1024×600 display expansion and the diagonal of 10 inches. But there are differences, attention should focus on that.

First, in netbooks put to different hard drives – it can be solid-state drive on the 8-16 gb hdd, or is it a volume of 80-160 gb. ssd cheaper than conventional drives, but it is worth considering whether you have enough of 8 or 16 gigabytes. The second major difference between notebooks, is operating system. Usually, there are two options – either Linux, or Windows xp. Although fans of Windows xp do not need to lose sight of the fact that this os can be installed independently. Just remember that the built-in optical drive for the netbook is not – and so the installation will be a little more complicated.

A combination of qualitative and sockets limit (Torque) keys can produce hardware with bolt to the required torque, which is important when repairing a car, providing safety and reliability. This is especially important for gearboxes, elementary mount the hub in the repair of traction engines and motor vehicles. This tool is also very useful in the house for repairs washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and any other built-in appliances. Universal Socket sets and their constituent extension cords, adapters and sliding joints and allow to reach Unscrew the most difficult of the bolts or nuts that you may encounter during repairs. How to choose a set of sockets? To purchase this set correctly, you should consider the following factors: Frequency of use: if you use your kit is often, you should choose their sockets chrome-vanadium steel, because they are more durable. Size: All met in the sale of Socket sets are in its composition is usually from 5 to 24 different heads with dimensions as in inches (standard SAE) and metric.

Just look around and decide for what purpose you will use the purchased kit. In Russia, the most common metric sizes of heads, in the United States, on the contrary – inch. Torque wrench has a set of inserts – ratchet (ratchet) and is available in four standard sizes (so-called "connecting the square"), ie 1 / 4 inch, 3 / 8 inch, 1 / 2 inch and 3 / 4 inches. The number of gear teeth in the ratchet is usually 24, 30, 45 or 60. The last indicator shows the angle at which you will need to turn the ratchet to happen triggering the locking mechanism. As you understand more than this number – the more "Short-" Ratchet. But this advantage tool has a downside – with lots of ratchet teeth less durable. Variety: the quality and versatility a set of sockets can also be judged by the additional tools in the proposed package.

Set should consist of a T-vorotka, ratchet, adapters, connecting to different squares, propeller flexible joints and extension cords. It is also worth noting that the package includes the same set of bits as usual screwdrivers, Torx, XZN, Hex (normal hexagon) head. Agree, the presence of these extra bits will be an additional advantage in the selection. The main characteristics of quality set of chrome heads Mandatory confers resistance to corrosion reversible ratchet (ratchet) color marking heads for easy determining Button fixing bolt heads on the presence of metric and inch size of optimal size and extension of vorotkov Kit Case or box for easy transport or storage Torque wrench must be thin and comfortable rubber handle, the hand does not slip on the handle in time. Keep in a clean set of sockets, ratchets from the kit and rotary joints to keep mechanism working in the ratchet. You should be careful when choosing and buying a set as the use of substandard materials can have dangerous consequences, such as eye injury or fingers. Cheap Socket heads may also lead to the destruction of bolting (stripped thread or rounded edge bolt heads).
