OLO: SIMPLY CREATE AMAZING 3D OBJECTS BY YOUR SMARTPHONE

US based company have launched a device to create 3d objects with the help of smart phone. 

Just for 100 Dollars .

The new  3d technology  will create beautiful 3d objects as per the command of an App from your smart phone.  It will work with iOS, Android and Windows.

Its only  720X1150X1480mm and weighs 780 gm only.  Means we can place this in any carry bags of our day to day routine.

OLO uses the light from your smartphone's screen to print 3D objects There are resins of different colours ranging to create products with the  colours of your choice.

You can select 3D designs from either OLO app, internet or social media.

OLO uses special polymer resins to create objects. OLO have different resins for different objects, eg:  flexible  or hard. OLO's building chamber was designed to prevent light penetration in order to maximize the effectiveness of the white light emission from your smartphone's display. Cast  resins for creating objects in silver or gold look alike.

Once an object has been loaded and printing commenced, the app instructs the smartphone to light up specific pixels for a set amount of time. Resin affected by the light transforms from a goo-like substance into hardened material, they said.

OLO can reach a resolution of upto 32microns . You can make multiple objects or different objects at the same time.

OLO is made of only 7 plastic parts, one chip, and one motor.  Just 4 AA batteries will last you at least 100 prints.

The features of the printer as described in OLO site:

01. Breakthrough 3D print technology

02. Beautiful design: elegant and seamless.

Mobile Network; What is GSM, CDMA & LTE ?

What is GSM, CDMA & LTE :- MOBILE NETWORKING BRIEFED

CDMA:-(Code Division Multiple Access. )

CDMA have developed by QUALCOM.  CDMA is of two standards, IS-95 or CDMA One-a 2G digital service and its modern 3G successor CDMA-2000. Presently all CDMA carriers are using CDMA-2000.

In CDMA “3G data is provided by Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO). EV-DO is technically on its 4^th version Rev.C, but lion portion of carriers are using  Re.A.  Technically EV-DO has two disadvantages compared to UTMS/HSPA data on the GSM path.  No. 1) CDMA phones have not been able to conduct simultaneous voice and data sessions.  Means if you are unable to use cellular data while you are in a call.   Even though this disadvantage have been fixed by new variant SV-DO  the efficiency is limited compared to GSM.  Because of this , CDMA carriers started to look for other options. WiMAX network as “4G”  introduced by Sprint is one of that kind. 

 

GSM (Global Systems for Mobile communications)

GSM was developed to replace the analog networks .  This was carried out by European Telecommunications Standards Institute. In one decade (Since 1990) GSM become unquestionable standard of worldwide communications other than few localized exceptions.  GSM devices use a Security Identity Module.  This chip card contains the international Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSA) number, carrier information and owners contact information.  If the phone is not locked by the carrier the phone can migrate easily between carriers.

AT &T and  T-Mobiles is based upon GSM networks.  For others either GSM is the dominant or sole cellular technology available.  Its acceptance as a dependable technology together with the presence of SIM slots to carry cheap local SIMs  made best technology suited for  travel.  GSM possesses inherent ability to for using cellular data and calling at the same time unlike CDMA.

LTE: 

 (Long Term Evolution) is a part of GSM path, can be considered as the only cellular technology for the future.  It has been introduced in data form by most carriers especially in Verizon also. Voice over LTE (VoLTE) will ultimately take over voice calls.  LTE even though not become fully equipped , expected to be fully functional in the near future also comes in two versions:  Frequency –Division Duplexing (FDD) used in the west, and Time-Division Duplexting (TDD). If the carrier is using sufficient band width the LTE will be faster.  But as the telecom providers have are still continues to charge as per the quantity of the data received, there is a great chance to incur heavy bills.

HSPA:-

HSPA is the set of technologies that enables 3G/WCDMA operators to upgrade their networks to run broadband speeds. HSPA includes HSDPA (High speed Downlink Packet Access), HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) and HSPA+.

Unlike may other mobile broadband technologies , HSPA supports the very efficient provision of voices services in combination with mobile broadband data services.

LG G5 MOBILE: Now replace the parts by yourself

LG have unveiled G5 with modular support.  The idea of replacing the parts or modules of a mobile phone as per our requirements is being tried by few companies.  But LG attained this capability up to certain level with the launching of its new model G5.

G5 possesses capability to replace cameras, battery and audio parts ; thanks to the modular electronics. Coming with full metallic body; dimension of 149.4 X 73.9 X 7.7 mm  with 5.3 inch display, of course removable battery, 5.3-inch display, microSD card slot

Other specialty is its dual camera at the back.  An 8MP camera for capturing pictures at wider area angles a width wider than the human eye; 135 degrees. Other camera is 16MP to take high quality photos at camera angle. 

Internal storage is 32GB, But there

is SD card slot, capable to carry 

SD cards up to multiples of 100 

GBs when it is available.  

To present Quality audio

experience LG partnered with 

Bang & Olufsen.  The posterior 

modular slot is meant to receive the direct-to-analog audio converter 

Their direct-to-analog audio converter module plugs into the bottom modular slot and allows for 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC upsampling technology for best quality audio experience. 

G5 is operating on Android marshmallow 

Other features:

The G5 can be converted to a fully functional camera with camplus modlue. 
Cam is equipped with another 1200 aMH battery, so no need to worry about the mobile battery charge.  There are separate facilities for zoom, recording and all necessary options that available in a digital camera. 

With LG VR 360 head set it is possible to experience the virtual reality world by connecting the head set via USB port. The spherical camera; LG Rolling boat also can be controlled by LG G5. 

"ReFlex" finally there is a flexible mobile

Queen University of Canada have developed a mobile phone with flexible display the simulates flipping of pages even without touching the screen.  This flexibility is being enabled by bend sensors lying at the back of the display. 

Queen University's Human Media lab developed this flexible phone ; a full colour and high resolution that combines multi touch with bend input allowing users to experience physical tactile feedback when using

apps through bend gestures. 

When ReFlex bent down on right the pages start to flip from right to left. When press harder the speed of the flip will go faster. Users can feel the sensation of page flipping through their fingers through detailed vibration of phone. 

A report says that bend sensors are placed on the back of the display and the sensors can read the force of the display and in turn instruct the apps as inputs to produce appropriate outputs. 

Reflex is powered by Android KitKat with boards mounted to the sides of the display. The RefFlex have LG Display with Flexible Oled touch screen

The presence of voice coils allows to simulate forces and friction through highly detailed vibrations of display. 

When a user plays the "Angry Birds" game with ReFlex, they bend the screen to stretch the sling shot. As the rubber band expands, users experience vibrations that simulate those of a real stretching rubber band. When released, the band snaps, sending a jolt through the phone and sending the bird flying across the screen," Roel Vertegaal the Director of the Human Media Lab said.

The  ReFlex prototype have  unveiled at the tenth anniversary Conference on Tangible Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) being held at .Netherlands this month
