Fiber Optics Education - The Trade of The Future by Mikael Rieck
If you don’t know much about fiber optics then you are not the only one. Even though fiber optics has been around for almost 60 years now it has just recently become something that has an effect on the everyday person and in most of the cases that person doesn’t even know it. ... The investments that are going to be made into the fiber optics technologies of the future are going to be substantial and if you have a little scientist hidden inside of you maybe now is the time for him/her to come out and invent something related to fiber optics.

Data Fiber Optics – Light Speed Transmission by Mikael Rieck
Why settle for slow speed, high electricity costs and a technology invented a hundreds years ago if you can have the latest in data transmission at less the cost and many times the speed? With the use of glass or plastic threads to transmit data the fiber optics is an upcoming technology. ... Telecommunications and Data Fiber Optics For you to fully understand the implications on technology by using fiber optics, we need to understand how it works in terms of telecommunications. ... Data fiber optics or optic fibers are often used in the field of imaging optics, sensors,...

Laser Marking Steers a New Course in Manufacturing by Rick Stevenson
As the technology of laser marking has advanced, new markets have evolved to take advantage of increasingly faster marking speeds as well as greater marking precision and imaging capabilities. Continuing developments in laser-cavity design, beam-steering and focusing optics, and computer... Because the 1.06-um wavelength is transmitted by glass optics, it can be used in standard fiber optics. ... The optics of fiber delivery are simple and straightforward. ... The workpiece may be held stationary while the fiber and output optics move during processing making them the ideal delivery system...

Network Cables by Elizabeth Morgan
A network consists of two or more computers linked together to share resources such as a printer or a scanner, exchange files, and enable electronic connectivity. Network cables are data transmission cables and are used to connect one network device to another. ... Some of the cables being used today are Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables, coaxial cables and fiber optic cables. ... Fiber optic cables consist of a center glass core surrounded by several layers of protective materials. ... A local area network (LAN) requires network cables to stay connected.

What You Need To Know About Cables by Elizabeth Morgan
Cables are electric conductors covered with insulating material. They are used to connect different components of a system such as connecting a DVD player with a TV. Cables are being used in almost every area of human activity. Cables of different make and uses are now available in the market. ... Different types of cables like data cable, network cables, high voltage electric cables, fiber optic cables etc. ... Cables have indirectly helped people, companies and communities separated by distance to share information, ideas, news and views.

Google Offers Free Spreadsheet on the Web by Ugur Akinci
The clash of ideas that started over a decade ago between Microsoft, on the one hand, and other hi-tech giants like Oracle and Sun Microsystems about the relative merits of desk-top-based vs. web-based services is coming to a head with Google’s new web-based and free spreadsheet application. ... Now a lot of such out-of-the-box applications are shifting onto the web in an amazing variety of “web services.” The spread of fiber optic networks and the dropping price of broadband are factors that favor the increase of such web service in the future.

WiMax and Its Future Importance by James Dyson
Another all-in-one technological concept to serve your day-to-day demands all put together. Actually, WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. As widely known WiMAX enables the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to ADSL and Cable broadband. ... The much important thing about it is you get all its services cheaper comparing to the services from established technologies like ADSL, Cable, and Fiber Optics etc. ... One is that WiMAX shares bandwidth between users in a given radio.

A Peek Into the Near Future of Electronics Technology by Terry Mitchell
How long do you think DVDs have around? 20 years? 10 years? Actually, they have only been around for about seven years, but it seems like they have been around much longer. Many of us can hardly remember life before DVDs. That can be attributed to how rapidly we can become acclimated to some... Fiber optics will allow phone companies to deliver video, either via a cable TV-type platform or a TV over Internet Protocol (TVIP) platform (see my October 7 column), and faster DSL speeds. ... I believe there are other electronics technologies, either just getting ready to take off, not widely...

The Variety of Roles Fulfilled by LED Lighting Devices by Groshan Fabiola
At present, LEDs are extensively used in many different branches of the industry, taking many different forms and fulfilling a wide range of roles. Miniature LED devices are incorporated in thousands of products, including computer components, VCR, DVD, Stereo, Audio and Video equipments, gaming... Although LED illuminating sources such as LED bulbs, LED pods and LED tubes are already extremely reliable, economical, safe and durable, scientists claim that future designs will be substantially more efficient and a lot more affordable, incorporating high tech, innovative materials.
