Latest Money Making Technology

500 Taka Note
 Cash is just a medium of trade. For many years paper cash has ruled incomparable – our predecessors didn't need to haul around gold coins when they needed to purchase merchandise and administrations (more cash truly did mean more issues!). Paper cash started when people conveyed gold to a bank where their coins would be put away in return for a paper receipt that was a promissory note to reimburse the gold coins. Obviously, it was less demanding to convey a receipt than convey the gold. Cash has dependably been a proportional element that permits us to trade the abilities we perform now, into something that society sees as important, so as to recover it at a later time.

Paper money is an entrancing theme on the grounds that its something we connect with regularly, yet we don't commonly give a ton of thought to the printing procedures behind the notes. As the printing innovation to make cash turns out to be more exceptional, so does the innovation for those attempting to produce fake money. Staying one stage in front of forgers is the most obvious need for both the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the United States and the Bank of Canada, both of whom produce paper banknotes. How about we first observe the study of printing paper coin, particularly inspecting the generation techniques for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. At that point we'll take a top to bottom take a gander at the new Canadian banknotes including why the change was made to a polymer substrate, and additionally security highlights and more extensive contemplations like the ecological effect and openness.

Printing Paper Currency

In 2010, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the United States printed 26 million notes… consistently! They have two offices where the notes are printed: Washington, DC and Fort Worth, TX and the normal expense to create a banknote ranges from 3-12 pennies, with a normal of 9.6 pennies for every note.

US paper money is composed with various against forging security highlights (both clandestine and obvious, for example, watermarks, smaller scale printing, security strings that sparkle under UV light, serial numbers, central bank markers and low vision numerals. The Security Features Development Group inside of the Bureau lives up to expectations nearly with the Secret Service and Federal Reserve Bank to plan hostile to duplicating element.

Ink, Paper and Printing Process in the

Different sorts of inks are utilized to deliver every banknote, for example, optically variable ink that progressions shading as the note is tilted, and also ink that responds in close infrared light. Shading control and rheology (the stream of ink) turn out to be basically vital when printing this sort of security record; along these lines the procedure can be amazingly perplexing. The US cotton notes are soil-safe, synthetic safe and sturdy.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing's paper has been sourced from the same organization (Crane and Company) subsequent to 1879 and it is 75% cotton and 25% material mix. There are fluorescent security strings, watermarks and red and blue strands installed in the paper at the season of assembling. Reliable shading and feel of the paper is basic to the achievement of the notes over various runs. The filaments of the paper have been super calendered (leveled) to expand smoothness.

There are three primary printing procedures used to create US banknotes: counterbalance lithography, intaglio and letterpress.

The primary go of the notes are imprinted on a balance lithographic KBA Simultan press, where the face and back of the note are printed all the while. This sheetfed press is fit for printing 8 hues on every side. It is 52 feet long, 14 feet wide, 12 feet tall and holds up to 20,000 sheets. The notes are printed 32 for every sheet and this press is equipped for paces of up to 10,000 sheets for each hour.

The sheets are then left to dry away for 72 hours prior to moving to the intaglio process. The back of the notes are printed first utilizing engraved plates to accomplish physicality. Just in the most recent 12 years has the etching procedure get to be advanced and already all plates were hand-engraved. The new process utilizes a plastic mold and gathering procedure for making a full step and rehash expert bite the dust through warmth and weight. This plastic expert is treated with a light covering (conductive specialists) and set into a nickel shower for 14-16 hours where the nickel "develops" or holds fast to the plastic expert. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has a percentage of the last siderographers (SID-er-og-ra-phers) on the planet, and these people unite every individual intaglio imprinting onto an expert plate and right for defects. The Bureau has two intaglio presses, including an Intaglio 10 Press, which utilizes an immediate inking framework and can deliver 8,000 sheets for every hour. The second intaglio press is known as the Super Orloff, which has a roundabout inking arrangement of plate to cover to etching.

The following stride in the process is to print the substance of the notes utilizing an intaglio press, whereby finely engraved line work goes about as a security highlight by presenting a three-dimensional material component called a "thunder strip".

In conclusion, the notes are trimmed for the Currency Overprinting Processing Equipment (COPE), which is a letterpress that applies serial numbers and seals. When this stride are the notes considered legitimate cash. The sheets are then trimmed down into single notes and bundled in different groupings:

Groups (10 straps of 100 notes each – 1,000 notes)

Blocks (4 groups – 4,000 notes)

Money packs (4 blocks – 16,000 notes)

Palletized on slips (40 money packs – 640,000 notes!)

The bundling procedure incorporates different levels of security wrap and standardized identifications, with five layers of therapist wrap around the bed alone. One bed of $20 notes has an aggregate estimation of $12,800,000! These beds are secured in the central bank vaults and are prepared to be transported to government banks in reinforced

Quality Control

Before bundling, the notes are gone through the Bureau's Online Currency Inspection System (OCIS) and this quality control step measures every banknote to a "brilliant" or immaculate picture. It thinks about the highlights' positions on the note and printing thickness. Extra quality control measures to guarantee strength incorporate fold analyzers and "cutting edge" quality control gadgets like bond blenders, clothes washers and dryers (they're for an alternate kind of government evasion – ha!).

A cash making machine that endeavors adjusting lapses in money trades for bank clients has been fabricated by a security specialist. On the off chance that left to keep running at its top speed, the gadget could create just about 70 euros (£58) a day via completing a great many little exchanges. The gadget was fabricated to test the security of internet saving money frameworks.

Be that as it may, said specialists, banks' against extortion frameworks would most likely keep the machine trading in for spendable.

Tiny trades

The gadget was made by Romanian security analyst Dr Adrian Furtuna, who saw what happened when certain measures of Romanian leu were traded for euros. These exchanges were gathered together in a client's support so they wound up with money worth marginally more than they began with. "The trap is that clients can pick the sums that they need to trade such that the adjusting will be constantly done to support them," Dr Furtuna told the BBC. The sums included are so little, 0.005 of an euro, that a large number of exchanges are expected to produce a lot of cash.

Dr Furtuna, who meets expectations for KPMG Romania as an entrance analyzer, set out to check whether banks' online cash exchanging frameworks were defenseless against expansive scale abuse of this adjusting mistake. The machine was required on the grounds that numerous banks use confirmation devices to secure online exchanges. These gadgets regularly create a short arrangement of numbers that must be entered nearby different qualifications when moving or trading cash on the web. He computerized the grouping by building a machine that could squeeze catches on the security gadget and read the code it produced as a feature of the confirmation process. The reaction rate of the gadget restricted the quantity of exchanges that could be completed, Dr Furtuna told the BBC. At most, he said, it could complete 14,400 exchanges for every day. This implies, at most, it could produce around 68 euros for every day if left to run unchallenged.

So far the gadget has been just demonstrated to work in the lab, as the bank that requested that Dr Furtuna test its security did not give him consent to attempt it against its live internet managing an account framework.

Latest Touch Screen Technology


 A touchscreen is an input device normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus/pen and-or one or more fingers.[1] Some touchscreens use an ordinary or specially coated gloves to work while others use a special stylus/pen only. The user can use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and to control how it is displayed (for example by zooming the text size).

The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or any other intermediate device (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens).

Touchscreens are common in devices such as game consoles, personal computers, tablet computers, and smartphones. They can also be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), GPS navigation devices, mobile phones, and video games and some books (E-books).

 

 The popularity of smartphones, tablets, and many types of information appliances is driving the demand and acceptance of common touchscreens for portable and functional electronics. Touchscreens are found in the medical field and in heavy industry, as well as for automated teller machines (ATMs), and kiosks such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboard and mouse systems do not allow a suitably intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction by the user with the display's content.

Historically, the touchscreen sensor and its accompanying controller-based firmware have been made available by a wide array of after-market system integrators, and not by display, chip, or motherboard manufacturers. Display manufacturers and chip manufacturers worldwide have acknowledged the trend toward acceptance of touchscreens as a highly desirable user interface component and have begun to integrate touchscreens into the fundamental design of their products.

Well, it’s that time of year again, when Christmas becomes a fast-fading memory and we all start crafting New Year’s resolutions. But rather than making a list of commitments we’ll struggle to keep, we thought it would be a lot more fun to look ahead and create a list of the 10 motorcycles we most look forward to riding in 2014. By this, we mean production machines we haven’t ridden yet, but need to get on as soon as possible. 

 It’s clear that BMW’s designers have had lots of fun with the naked R nineT roadster, and we want so see if the bike’s dynamics back up those great looks. The R nineT, which celebrates the 90th anniversary of BMW Motorrad, goes after a hipper, more contemporary crowd with its stripped looks, rich textures, and black wheels, plus an available brushed-aluminum tail section that transforms this new German into a café racer of sorts. We’re glad BMW has chosen to power the R nineT with the air- and oil-cooled version of the company’s 1170cc boxer engine because it’s more in character with this elemental machine than the liquid-cooled flat-twin found in other BMWs such as the R1200GS. On sale in March.

New Advances in Auto Technology

Forbes
The market may be slow but new technologies for vehicles are appearing at a blistering pace.

Most are in the realm of safety, but some are pure convenience. Typically, innovative features from the manufacturers are offered on higher-end cars as options and eventually trickle down to less expensive vehicles as cost declines, awareness increases and demand grows.

Equipment and features the public takes for granted today -- electric ignition, automatic windshield wipers, power steering, airbags, cruise control and many more -- began life as unexpected advances that dazzled the public. When GM introduced the first automatic transmission -- its Hydra-Matic Drive -- in the 1940 Oldsmobile, it was a $57 option and more of a curiosity than a "gotta-have" feature. Today automatic transmissions have advanced to the point of providing as many as eight forward gears, driver-shift options, computerized driver-adaptable shifting and different shifting modes, such as "sport," "touring" and "snow." But in 1940, not stirring the transmission yourself was a radical concept and only well-heeled risk takers ponied up the extra cash for the new technology.
Today's "cutting edge" is tomorrow's "commonplace." Here is a collection of technologies already offered that could be mainstream just a year or two from now.
  • Rear-mounted radar.
  • Night vision with pedestrian detection.
  • Automatic high-beam control.
  • Parental control.
  • GPS vehicle tracking.
  • Cameras.
  • Driver capability.
  • In-car Internet.

Rear-mounted radar

Backing out of a parking space in a busy lot can be an adventure. Although rear-pointing radar has been around for a few years alerting drivers to unseen objects immediately behind them -- a fence, wall, tree or another vehicle -- new radar technology searches for approaching cross traffic. When it "sees" traffic approaching while you're backing up, it sounds an alarm. Chrysler's version is available in its minivans and is called Cross Path Detection System. It includes visual indicators in the outboard mirrors. Ford's system is called Cross Traffic Alert. Offered in the just-released 2010 Fusion and Mercury Milan, it also has outboard mirror alarm indicators.


Night vision with pedestrian detection:

Although night vision in vehicles isn't a new technology -- Cadillac offered it in 2000 -- the Mercedes-Benz updated version is called Night View Assist Plus. Unlike the Night View Assist, which has been available in the S-Class since 2005, the new system pinpoints pedestrians, highlighting them on a dashboard display. It's offered in the 2010 E-Class in showrooms late this spring. BMW has a similar system with a pedestrian identifier that also shows the direction the pedestrian is moving. As the distance closes between pedestrian and vehicle, a warning appears on the night vision monitor as well as the head-up display on the windshield if so equipped. BMW offers this system on the 2009 7 Series.

Automatic high-beam control

In the redesigned RX, Lexus offers a system that automatically illuminates and dims the high-beam headlights in relation to approaching traffic. A camera mounted on the rearview mirror detects when the vehicle is closing in on oncoming traffic, as well as vehicles ahead traveling in the same direction, and disengages the high beams. Mercedes-Benz takes the technology one step further with its Adaptive Highbeam Assist. Also found in the new E-Class, it doesn't merely switch between low and high beams, but reacts by gradually increasing or lowering the light distribution based on the distance of approaching traffic. It also dims the high beams for sharp turns and then re-engages the high beams if there is no approaching traffic once the turn is completed.

New Technology Firearms Made by Israel



 The military equipment of Israel includes a wide array of arms, armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, missiles, planes, helicopters, and warships. Many of these are purchased overseas and many are indigenous designs. Until the Six-Day War of 1967, the Israel Defense Forces' principal supplier was France; since then, it has been the United States government and defense companies. In the early 21st century, Israeli companies such as Soltam Systems began selling arms to the United States. Much of the military equipment undergoes improvements in Israeli workshops. In addition to weapons purchased overseas and indigenous products, Israel also operates and maintains large stockpiles of Soviet-made equipment captured from Arab armies over the course of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.   

On 8 July 2014, an escalation of the Gaza–Israel conflict began when Israel launched Operation Protective Edge  "Operation Strong Cliff" in the Palestinian unity-governed Gaza Strip. The stated aim was to stop rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, which several non-Hamas affiliated groups had engaged in launching in June in response to an Israeli crackdown on Hamas members in the West Bank. After an Israeli Air Force airstrike killed 7 Hamas members, Hamas itself fired rockets into Israeli several towns including Air bases. In the meantime Israeli Iron Dome system has disposed most of the rockets fired by Hamas.

 On 13 July, the Israeli military reported that more than 1,300 Israeli air strikes had taken place on Gaza, while more than 800 rockets had been fired from Gaza into Israel. Several attempts to arrange a cease-fire between the two sides failed, and several arranged cease-fires (including one on 5 August which saw all Israeli soldiers withdrew from the Gaza Strip) fell apart or expired, before an Egyptian proposal for a 72-hour ceasefire was accepted by Israeli and Palestinian officials on 10 August.

  As of 5 August 2014 an OCHA report stated that in the Gaza Strip, 520,000 Palestinians (approximately 30% of Gaza's population) may have been displaced, of whom 273,000 were taking shelter in 90 UN-run schools. UNRWA has exhausted its capacity to absorb displaced persons, and overcrowding in shelters risks the outbreak of epidemics. These shelters have been hit by Israeli airstrikes on several occasions. 1.5 million people in Gaza have limited or no access to water supplies. 26 health facilities have been damaged, 11,855 homes have been totally destroyed or severely damaged, and 5,595 homes have suffered major damaged but are still inhabitable. More than 485,000 internally displaced persons are in need of emergency food assistance. On the Israeli side, an estimated 5,000-8,000 citizens of Southern Israel have fled their homes as the Iron Dome missile defense system does not prevent short range rocket attacks.

  The conflict is the deadliest military operation to have taken place in Gaza since the Second Intifada, though both the exact number of deaths and the percentage of the dead who were militants as opposed to civilians have been in dispute. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 1,959 Gazans have been killed and 10,196 have been wounded. (80% civilians) Preliminary reports by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimated that 1,402 (72%) of 1,948 deaths they documented were civilians, of whom 693 (35% of all deaths) were women or children. The Israeli government has maintained that 40%-50% of Gazan fatalities have been combatants. 64 IDF soldiers have been killed, as well as two Israeli civilians. The Israel Defense Forces have stated that Hamas has used civilians as "human shields"; Hamas has stated that it does not use human shields. 44% of the territory of the Gaza Strip has been declared a no-go zone by the Israeli military.

Designed and produced by Israel’s Weapons Industries (IWI), it will gradually replace the long-time used Micro Uzi in IDF Special units.

Your Next Smartphone Technology


Future Mobile
 Smartphones don’t get people excited like they used to. Every Apple event these days brings fresh calls for “new product categories” and fresh disappointment when they don’t materialize. Yet bolder companies like Google and Samsung have introduced new types of futuristic mobile gadgets, and it turns out they don’t work very well. As much as the tech press has tried to hype smart glasses and smartwatches, they’re just too small to do very much at this point. They might develop into nifty peripherals for your smartphone, but they’re not going to replace it anytime soon.

We may be stuck with our trusty old pocket-computers for years to come. The good news is that they’re still evolving, probably more rapidly than we tend to give them credit for. I’m not talking about marginally faster processors, better cameras, curved glass, bigger screens, or 3-D displays. I’m talking about new functionalities.

If there was an overarching takeaway from Apple’s annual developer conference this week, it’s that smartphones are becoming more than communications and entertainment devices. They’re becoming the mobile command centers of our lives. And far from pushing them aside, the next wave of consumer technologies is likely to make smartphones more essential than ever.

Today our iPhones and Android phones serve as messaging devices, cameras, Web browsers, music players, gaming and social networking platforms, and yes, sometimes even phones. They’re also starting to become artificial personal assistants. Here are three more things that smartphones are likely to become in the next few years—all of which involve communications between your apps and devices rather than between you and other people.

1. A universal remote control for your appliances:

 Thermostats are just the beginning. Like it or not, everything from door locks to light bulbs to refrigerators is starting to come equipped with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. The idea is that, as in this AT&T ad, you can monitor and control them remotely with your smartphone.
Smartphone

In some cases, these “smart” appliances are designed to learn from your behavior and adapt on their own. Even so, you’ll almost inevitably find yourself reaching for your smartphone when your thermostat’s rudimentary machine intelligence clashes with your unpredictable human needs.
The major smartphone-makers have already put up big stakes in the fledgling “connected home” sector. Samsung has been making connected appliances for some time now, and earlier this year it launched “Smart Home” software for Android phones that lets you control them all from one app. In January, Google got into the game by splashing $3 billion on Nest. And this week, Apple announced HomeKit, a bid to bring the controls for a wide range of third-party connected devices together in a simple native iOS app.

If it works as advertised, you’ll be able to group related appliances into “suites,” so that you can say something like, “Get ready for bed,” and your phone will know to turn off the downstairs lights, adjust the thermostat, and lock the doors. As my colleague Lily Newman pointed out, interoperability could be a problem, at least in the short term. Ultimately, though, I’m guessing tech rivals like Google, Samsung, and Apple will have to make nice if they want their smartphones to be the control centers for your home (or your car, for that matter). If you have to match all your appliances to your chosen mobile OS, most people just won’t bother.

2. A hub for your personal health data:

Smartphones will remain the best way to store, integrate, and analyze health data.

Third-party developers have been working for a few years now on smartphone apps or add-ons that can monitor and track your well-being in various ways. Early efforts included pedometers, medication reminders, nutrition trackers, and even breathalyzers. And while smartwatches designed for things like email and text messages have been a bust so far, fitness bands that monitor your workouts and sync with your smartphone via Bluetooth are already quite popular.

Choose one of them
As with smart appliances, the smartphone-makers are starting to realize that they can take the health-tracking trend mainstream by building native hardware and software for it. Samsung took the early lead with its S Health suite, and its latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S5, comes with a built-in heart-rate monitor. Last week it announced a prototype of a new wearable health tracker called Simband along with an open software platform. Apple’s answer on the software side is a new platform called HealthKit. On the hardware side, the focus of rumors about the iWatch has shifted from communications apps to biometrics, perhaps including sleep-tracking functions.

Wearable devices, from wristbands to “smart socks,” are better than smartphones at collecting certain types of health data. But smartphones will remain the best way to store, integrate, and analyze the data.

3. A portable computer that you can control with other devices:

 Not only will your smartphone be a remote control for your other appliances, it will be another appliance that you can control remotely. That’s not as confusing as it sounds, I promise. Today, if you want to use your smartphone, you usually have to pull it out of your pocket and control it directly. But there are times when that’s particularly inconvenient—like when you’re cooking, driving, or playing with your kids. In those cases, increasingly, you’ll be able to operate basic functions of your phone through other interfaces.

For instance, Google, Microsoft, BlackBerry, and Apple are all working on software that will let you control your phone from your car’s dashboard, and several major car companies have already developed similar capabilities. You’ll be able to make hands-free calls, check your email, or stream songs on Pandora without touching the phone itself. 

Wearable peripherals are another example. Devices like smart glasses and smartwatches won’t replace smartphones anytime soon, but they could still come in handy when you need to answer a call while carrying a package or double-check a recipe while your hands are covered in cookie dough. It’s your phone that’s doing the actual calling or Web browsing, of course—the wearables are just an extension of it.


 Finally, improvements in Bluetooth low energy technology could turn your phone into a receptor for notifications that are based on your precise physical location. Apple’s iBeacon system, for example, could allow transmitters placed inside a parking garage to ping your phone to guide you to an open spot. Or, more intrusively, a restaurant might be able to shoot you a coupon for half-off drinks as you stroll past its doors. Similar technologies could also allow you to pay for things at a store with your smartphone without having to take it out of your pocket.

Seven years after the first iPhone and 11 years after the BlackBerry, smartphones may no longer be novel—but in many ways, they’re still consumer technology’s next big thing.
