DIGITAL PICTURE

  Consider the alphabet L and consider the matrix grid of 4X4.



   Blacken the cells in the shape of L .  Next write 1 in blackened cells and 0 in empty cells.
Write digit in the cells from left to right and top to bottom in a single line as a binary digits.  
1000100010001111
Convert the binary number to ordinary number of base 10.
34959
Now the picture or letter L is digitized.  Any picture can be digitized as given below.





Once we convert the picture into numbers, we get lot of advantages.
1. They can be instantly transmitted.
2. errors in the pictures can be detected and corrected.
3. requires less storage.
4. two pictures can be compared.  For example, two signatures can be compared.

     We  have seen that by blackening the cells we can create drawings.  We know that the spreadsheet is made up of cells.  By colouring each cell suitably, we can create any colour picture, even your photo.  By the way , the colours are also represented by binary digits.




    Visit the site "make and do 4D.com" and create your photo in a spread sheet.  Each time you click a selfie, you create a spread sheet of yourself.  Each cell can be called pixel (picture element).  If your phone has 1080X1920 pixels display, you understand what it is now and why it is called high definition-HD picture.

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...
