REINVENTING THE ADDRESS




When we approach a bank for a loan , the first question thrown at us is "where do you live?  How long you have been living in that address?" We require address for passport, ID card, driving license and for many other documents.  Without address we do not exist.

     We have been following the following system of address for very many years.  

Door no, street,
local area, land mark,
city,
postal code.

This system of address is called S42 address standard.

    In spite of your perfect address, how many phone calls you received from couriers, friends, and strangers to locate you.  Does our address system 100% perfect?  It seems no.  

    Last mile delivery is affected due to inadequacy in the address.  Money, time, and effort is wasted in locating the proper place.  Consequently it affects the country's economy also.

     So what is the alternative?  We can use Geo code.  That is geographical coordinates of latitude and longitude.  But it is difficult to remember and convey.  People have come out with some new ideas.  The earth surface is divided into squares of side 3 m (10 feet).  We get 57 trillion square plots.  Each 10 feet square is addressed with a unique 3 word phrase.  40000 words are enough to address all the plots in the earth surface.  Let us see how?

     For example, 2 words are enough to address 8 plots or places.  Let the 2 words be give and take 

ADDRESSES

1. give.give.give
2. take . take.take
3. give.give.take
4. give.take.give
5. take.give.give
6.take.take.give
7. take.give.take
8.give.take.take

Cube root of 8 is 2
similarly, cube root of 57 trillion is 40000.  So 40000 words are enough to address all the 100 square feet (10*10) plots in the world.  

     The 3 word address of Tajmahal in India is "according . bloom.broads."

     Now install what 3 word(w3w) app. in your smart phone and find the 3 word address  for your home or any location.

    It is a open source product.  But remember the 3 word address change for every 10 feet.  So you may get multiple addresses for your home.  So we have to still innovate and find a good address system.  

    A accurate address will save lives in the case of accident, fire and emergencies.    A good address system with GPS mobile will make our life easier.

    Now is the time to address this problem.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
