how does google maps works

Google maps is used by numerous people on daily basics while traveling as the navigation platform effectively predicts traffic and plots routes for them.

more than million kilometres may driven on daily basics in 220 countries.

How does google maps work.

  • Google maps uses machine learning in combination with various data source including aggregate location data, historical traffic patterns, local government data, and real-time feedback from users, to predict traffic.
  • google maps make use of Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent road networks.
  • google maps gets its images from satellite and aerial images in google Earth are taken by cameras on satellites and aircraft, which collect each image at a specific date and time. 
  • Geo-spatial data visualization company and a real-time traffic analyzer, Google Maps was launched in February 2005. 
  • Map maker was added to the american version of google Maps, allowing any viewer to edit and add changes to google maps. This provides Google with local map updates almost in real-time instead of waiting for digital map data companies to release more infrequent updates.
  • Early versions of Google maps relied only on data from traffic sensors, most of which were installed by government transportation agencies or private companies that specialize in compiling traffic data. 
  • using radar, active infrared or laser radar technology, the sensors are able to detect the size and speed of passing vehicles and then wirelessly transmit that information to a server.

Google maps uses an international connection to a GPS navigation system to provide turn by turn voice guided instructions on how to arrive at a given destination The application requires connection to internet data  and normally uses a GPS satellite connections to determine its location.

Data operation team staffed all over the world that plays a role in just about every aspect of map-making from gathering street view images and getting authoritative data sources to correcting the map for inaccuracies and training machine learning models.

Interesting facts about Google maps.

  1. Google maps has over 20 petabytes of data, which is equal to approximately 21 million gigabytes, or around 20500 terabytes.
  2. Google has worked with thousands of business owners in eight countries to bring street view technology inside buildings.
  3. Google maps doesn't use much mobile data at all when navigating. most of google maps data use is incurred when initially searching for the destination.

Electronics components

Electronic gadgets have become an integral part of our lives. They have made our lives more comfortable and convenient. we have many applications of electronics like aviation, medical and healthcare etc.

Most gadgets have tiny electronic circuit that can control machines and process information, electronic circuits are the lifeline of various electrical appliances.

There are 2 types of components 

Active components: Electronic component which supplies energy to the circuit.

common examples of active components include:

voltage sources

current sources

generators

all types of transistor.

Diodes.

Passive components : Components incapable of controlling current by means of electrical signal are called passive devices.

common examples of passive components include:

Resistors

capacitors

Inductors

Transformers

List of components

Resistor: oppose current and pass current directly proportion to voltage.

Capacitors : capacitors store and release electrical charge. It stores energy in electric field.

Diode : Conduct electricity easily in one direction, among more specific behaviors.

power sources

  • Battery : acid or alkali based power supply.
  • power supply : usually a main hook-up
  • photovoltaic device : generates electricity from light.

Switch : A switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another

Inductors : An inductor is considered as passive element of circuit, because it can store energy in it as a magnetic field, and can deliver that energy to the circuit.

Semiconductor : Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors and non conductors.

Integrated circuits : An integrated circuit refers to a special device that had all the components required in an electronic circuit. The component has diodes, transistors and other devices, all of which are etched on a tiny piece of silicon. The componrts are used in watches and computers.

Batteries : Bateeries convert chemical energy into electrical energy. two different cells of a battery are anode ( + ) and cathode (-).

Fuses : Fuses help preserve components from overloading with excessive current. A fuse consists of connection body, support, contacts, and metal-fuse material such as Zinc or copper.

Motors : Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Key components include a rotor, stator, bearings, and eye bolt.

Circuit Breakers : As a protective device, a circuit breaker can be controlled with a remote switch. It is designed to protect the circuit from overloading or a short circuit.

Battery life

What is Battery

A battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections for powering electrical devices such as flashlights, mobile phones, and electrical cars.

when a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode.

Battery


How Battery works

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

Rechargeable battery 

How to preserve more battery on mobile.

Battery 

Few methods:

  • Battery saver mode: switch on battery saver mode which will help battery to stay for longer time.
  • Background battery usage: Go to settings and choose which applications can use battery when your not using phone this will save battery unnecessarily used by application.
  • Dark mode : choose dark mode so that all screen appears in dark.
  • Always on mode: switch off this option will save more battery.

How to save battery life :

  1. Do not charge overnight using fast charger, if we use fast charger more heat will be produced which may lead to damage of battery.
  2. Use standard company charger and power bank.

Battery Facts.

Batteries work by providing continuous DC.The battery will work until all of the energy has been used up. If it rechargeable it can be used again. If it is not rechargeable then it is garbage.

The power in a battery is created by chemistry.

Rechargeable batteries are used in cars.

NiMH batteries are nickel metal hydride and are commonly used in portable electronics such as toys and portable home phones.

Batteries can come as wet cell or dry cell.

it is possible to use potatoes as source of battery power, although they are not capable of producing a lot of it.

Lemons can also be used to make power.

What is Internet

Internet has taken control over life nowadays, without internet nobody can be at peace at-least for 15 min.

nowadays we are doing everything digitally which requires internet.

phonepe, whatsapp, paytm, google pay, many things in which we are depend on internet.

What is internet.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses internet protocol(TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices.

internet is just connection of devices through wires, cables. whole world is connected. connection is done by different companies let's have a brief idea.

Tier 1 company lays optical fiber all over world through sea route.

Tier 2 company works on country wise.

Tier 3 company works on local wise.

How does Internet work.

when two people chat from INDIA to SINGAPORE internet is made used ,packet (data) which we want to send from one machine to another machine will travel the routing path with data protection in such a way that in middle one can decode that data. 

up-to one point data will travel through Wi Fi but whole world is connected through cables, like optical fiber which carry the data(packets).

The ISP which we make use (to which we are paying money) they will carry our data and send upto India border once its touches the Singapore there ISP will carry the packets and they will make sure data will reach the end user.

both the countries are paying for optical fiber laying through sea, so both countries are making use of it.

IP address is given to all devices which helps identify the device.

Few Facts about internet

  • The internet is 9110 days old today.
  • Internet would weigh about 50 grams. as per scientist who measured the weight of multiple billions of electrons which make up the data that we send back and forth every day.
  • half of world population make use of internet.
  • Walking sticks, umbrellas, shirts, water bottles, tails all this can be connected to internet.
  • The average person spends more than 10 hours a day with internet, which is more time then we sleep.
Future of internet 

The infrastructure which we make use to run the internet in backend will have higher version of devices like router, switches, load balancer and firewall.

Fan

Fan is found in almost everyone house, its very much needed when temperature increase and humans feels hot especially during summer.

Fan working mechanism.

Electric fan works on the principle of conversion of electric enegry into mechanical energy and in this case mechanical energy is the rotarty motion. When AC is supplied to electric fan it first reaches capacitor. capactior sends high energy to the stator windings.

stator windings develops rotating magnetic field and which forces the rotor to rotate in the direction of magnetic field.

electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy, rotor and housing to spin and the blade attached to the housing throws away the air nearby and create cooling effect.

Fan

Parts of Fan

Capacitor : capacitor is used to store energy, this store energy is used to rotate the fan from rest state.

Axle: Axle is the metallic rod mostly made up of mild steel. Axle is connected from ceiling to fan housing 

Bearings: Ball bearings are used in the electric fan, 2 bearings which are link between housing and axle gives the rotary motion to the housing.

stator : stator windings is to convert electric current into magnetic field.

Rotar: Rotar in the electric motor is the permanent magnetic in the shape of half circles.

Housing: outer part or the electric fan.

Blades : Blades or wings used to rotate.

Future of electric fan.

Electric fan make use of 9% of residential energy, which is almost equal to power plant energy, so in future by using BLDC  technology  we can reduce use of energy by electric fan.

BLDC motor are more efficient.

xerox machine

Xerox machine is found in every office, every college, especially near engineering college we can see xerox shops, as we all know students wants Xerox notes during exam.

everyday while going to college we may go through xerox shop,after getting jobs we use xerox machine but never taught how does it work lets know it.

Xerox machine 

how does xerox machine work.

xerox machine work on the principle that opposites attract. Toner is a powder that is used to create the printed text and images on paper. The drum which is located in the heart of a photocopier, is positively charged using static electricity. An image is transferred using laser.

Main function :

photocopier produce copies using laser technology, a dry process that uses electrostatic charge on a light-sensitive photo-receptor to transfer toner onto paper to form an image.

Static electricity:

paper which we want photocopy is placed downwards onto a sheet of glass. using static electricity , an image of this paper is projected onto a positively charged drum. The coating on the drum can conduct electricity when light hit it.

Charging :

cylindrical drum is electrostatically charged by a high voltage wire called charge roller. The drum has a coating of a photo conductive material. A photo-conductor is a semiconductor that becomes conductive when exposed to light.

Exposure:

A bright lamp expose document to make a copy.

Developing :

Toner is positively charged when it is applied to drum to develop the image.

Few facts of xerox machine.

color copies helped make Disney's 101 dalmatian

danger of catching fire.

Components of xerox machine.

  • Laser
  • Photo-conductive Drum
  • charge corona
  • Toner unit
