Cellphone blocking paint 2008-07-03 13:17:00 A new kind of paint would prevent unwanted RF signals from cellphones and other devices from entering movie theatres, schools and other buildings. Developed by NaturalNano, it contains copper held inside microscopic nanotubes of carbon and can be used to cover the interior walls. Copper absorbs radio-frequency waves, including cellphone, pager and Wi-Fi signals.Using a complementary technology, building managers may selectively override the blocking to allow the use of two-way devices in a room or building. An indoor antenna picks up cellphone or other signal and sends them to an external antenna through an electronic filter. A facility manager can enable transmissions at specific frequencies of for specific uses. For example, police, fire and other emergency communication calls could go through. ...

Power supply circuit 2008-07-02 06:20:00 Designing a power supply circuit is one of the basic steps in any projects which you are about to start. Now let us see a +5 volt regulated power supply circuit, which i have used for my project. The circuit diagram is shown below.The circuit includes a step down transformer and a full wave rectifier followed by a +5 volt regulator. The step down transformer steps down the ac voltage from 230 volts to 12 volt ac. After that it is passed through a full wave rectifier where we obtain an unregulated dc supply of 12 volt. The dc supply is regulated by passing through the regulator 7805. The capacitors are used to avoid ripples in the incoming voltage. The photo below shows my +5volt power supply circuit.Note that i have included a RED LED to indicate whether the power supply is ON or OFF. I have provided a Heat sink to 7805 inorder to withdraw maximum amount of current from it. Without Heat sink we can draw current only upto 150mA. ...

About LCD interfacing 2008-06-20 00:49:00 Previously we have seen how to interface stepper motor using TIP122, now let us see interfacing LCD with PIC16F877ALCD introduction LCD’s i.e, Liquid Crystal Displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each, crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. The most commonly used alphanumeric displays are 1x16 (single line and 16 characters), 2x16 (double line and 16 characters per line) and 4x20 (four lines and twenty characters per line). In LCD interfacing we are using HY-1602F6 LCD. It is a two line display with 16 characters on each line. Let us see how to interface an LCD with PIC16F877A. LCD interfacingLCD interfacing has two modes 8-bit mode and 4-bit mode.The LCD requires 3 control lines (RS, R/W and EN) and 8(or 4) data lines. The number of data lines de ...
