Electric current, often just current, is a physical phenomenon in the field of electricity. In the everyday meaning of the term, it refers to the transport of electrical charge carriers, such as electrons in conductors or semiconductors or ions in electrolytes. This form of current is also known as a convection current. As described by Ampere's law, it is manifested by a magnetic field and usually … [Read more...]

The Future of Video Game Industry
Future prospects for the video game industry are promising. New monetization models are gaining ground as consumer demand increases and technology advances rapidly. The analysis conducted by Bain predicts that the global revenue for games will increase by more than fifty percent over the next five years. And gamers' presence in virtual realms, known collectively as the metaverse, is far superior … [Read more...]
What is Buffer in Computing
In computer science and telecommunications, buffers are storage devices for the intermediate storage of data. Depending on the task, the buffer can be structured differently. A buffer usually stores the data temporarily, and can be located in volatile or non-volatile memory. Piping and Queueing (FIFO Buffer) Buffers to compensate for differences in processing speed make it … [Read more...]
Modeling and Simulation
Modeling and simulation (M&S) refers to the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system, thing, phenomenon, or process) as the basis for simulations to generate data that can be used for management or engineering decision-making. Digital Application of Modelling and Simulation Modeling and Simulation's digital application uses … [Read more...]
Resistance and Electrical Resistors: Part I
Electrical resistance is a measure of the electrical voltage required to cause a certain electrical current to flow through an electrical conductor (component, circuit). Uniform quantities should be used or instantaneous values for variables that change over time. If the voltage is counted from a connection point A to a connection point B, the amperage in the conductor is counted positively as it … [Read more...]
What is Tourbillon (Watches)?
The tourbillon is a device in which the oscillation and escapement system of a mechanical watch rotates on its axis in order to achieve less positional accuracy, especially in wristwatches and pocket watches. Due to gravity, the accuracy of conventional watches is not the same in all positions. A tourbillon distributes the effect of gravity on the oscillating system evenly over all positions of at … [Read more...]
What is Binaural Sound Recording?
A binaural sound recording is a sound recording of sound signals with microphones that are intended to create a natural auditory impression with precise directional localization when played back only through headphones. When recording in artificial head stereophony, an artificial head is often used. In the past, the term binaural was often equated with stereo. In general, stereo sound … [Read more...]
Typical Characteristics of RISC Processors
Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) is a design philosophy for computer processors. The design goal was to dispense with a complex instruction set that was convenient for assembly programming in favor of instructions that were easy to decode and quickly execute. This also allowed for higher clock speeds. The design philosophy opposite to RISC is called the Complex Instruction Set Computer … [Read more...]
What is Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Digital signal processing is a branch of communications engineering and deals with the generation and processing of digital signals with the help of digital systems. In a narrower sense, its focus is on the storage, transmission and transformation of information in the sense of information theory in the form of digital, discrete-time signals. It has diverse and far-reaching applications in today's … [Read more...]
ESP32 Neopixel Ring Clock
Previously we have published a few articles on Neopixel Ring, such as spindicator/chase effect with NeoPixel ring. Also, we have published one article on Get Time & Date From NTP Server (you can read about NTP server here). If you combine these two principles, you can build a simple clock based around an ESP32 Arduino to fetch time from an NTP server and a Neopixel Ring to display hours, … [Read more...]
Creating a Logo Style Guide for Consistent Branding
Keep in mind that your brand’s logo is its visual representation. Your brand’s logo is what your customers will spot first when they encounter your business, and it's what they’ll remember long after they’ve forgotten your company’s name. That’s why it’s significant to have a strong logo that’s not only memorable but accurately reflects your brand identity as well. But once you have a great … [Read more...]
