Animated Bike Wheel LED Lights

 There are plenty of interesting ways to deck out your bicycle, but MonkeyLectric may have come up with the ultimate way to make it stand out on the road. The company's new Monkey Light Pro is a set of LED bars that attach to a bicycle wheel and can be programmed to play colorful animations.

This isn't the first light-up bicycle wheel system we've seen, and MonkeyLectric itself has produced other models in the past, but none have been as elaborate as this. Over the last two years, the company has been hand-making prototypes of the newer system for special events and projects. During that time, the developers practiced their manufacturing processes with smaller products until they felt ready to launch a more complex system.

The Monkey Light Pro features four bars sporting a total of 256 full-color LEDs, which fit together inside the spokes and display bright images over the entire wheel when it's in motion. Riders can upload still graphics or short animations via Bluetooth and watch them light up on both sides when the bike reaches 10 to 40 mph (15 to 65 km/h). The setup also includes a two-axis accelerometer and four magnetic sensors to track a wheel's speed and rotation, ensuring the images remain stable when speeding up, slowing down, and even riding backwards.

It's designed to fit any 26 in (66 cm) or larger bicycle wheel, and includes a stainless steel anti-theft strap to keep it secure. The system is constructed from a durable clear urethane, keeping it protected from water, vibrations, and general day-to-day use. A built-in lithium battery charges through USB, offering 3 - 8 hours of runtime at full brightness and up to 48 hours at a reduced level.

  

With a web-based program, users can create their own playlists of images for display, using their own files or a collection of pre-loaded animations from various artists. The software and API are also freely available to any programmers who want to experiment with other creations using the light system. Unfortunately, there's no app to control the display with a smartphone just yet, but the developers are hoping to secure funding to make that possible in the future.

MonkeyLectric is currently running a Kickstarter to finalize the design and bring it to production. At the moment, anyone who backs the project for US$695 or more will be among the first to receive the finished Monkey Light Pro, which is expected to ship in December of this year.

In the meantime, the video below shows some of the colorful and creative animations the Monkey Light Pro can display.

USB Condoms are here!

USB Condoms are here!

You often plugin your phone to a USB port just for charging. In this process, however, anyone can steal data from you phone - its not that hard, really. USB Condoms help you prevent this by cutting off data pins and allowing only power pins. Thus preventing data theft.

Eye Ball !

If you toss this foam-covered ball skyward, an accelerometer inside determines when it has reached its maximum height. At that moment, 36 cameras are triggered simultaneously, creating a mosaic that can be downloaded and viewed on a computer as one spherical panoramic image. The ball was created by researchers at the Technische Universität Berlin after one of them, Jonas Pfeil, labored to create panoramas while on vacation in Tonga. On that trip, he tried a cumbersome process that required snapping pictures in different directions and stitching them together later in a photo-editing program. Now he hopes to license the camera-ball technology for commercial production.

A. Outer Shell
The sphere, about the size of a softball, is protected by blocks of foam. Thirty-six cell-phone camera modules, each with a resolution of two megapixels, are set into the surface. Each module stores its portion of the mosaic until it is transferred to the ball’s micro-controller.

B. Inner Shell
The prototype’s inner shell, made from a strong yet somewhat flexible nylon material, gives the ball structural strength. The shell was made using a 3-D printing service.

C. Power Source
The ball’s power source, a relatively heavy lithium-polymer battery, is secured in an inner cage to keep its center of gravity close to its geometric center so that it behaves predictably when thrown.

D. Micro-controller
A micro-controller uses data from an accelerometer to determine when to trigger the cameras. Then it stores the resulting mosaic of images. The prototype can store one mosaic, but it has a hardware slot for a memory card that could store additional panoramas.

E. Panorama
Images are uploaded to a personal computer via a USB connection. Software on the computer allows panoramas to be rotated or enlarged, and portions can be exported as 2-D images.

How To Recover Deleted (Hidden) Files from Virus infected USB Pendrive

How To Recover Deleted (Hidden) Files from Virus infected USB Pendrive:

Now a days all the people use USB Flash drives like Pendrive, External Hard Disk and Many more. They all skipped DVD, CD and all optical Disc because it takes time to copy and it cannot be re-used. So USB Pendrives are now with all people. Also you can see all over colleges, they hang USB pendrive in their necks. They carry Music, Movies, Data in that. How USB flash drives improves as the mean while USB virus also increases along with that.

Nowadays Some viruses / malwares (may be Trojans, W32.IRCBot.NG)  is spread all over the world which is particularly attacks flash memories like pendrive, memory cards, sd cards and all other usb storage drives.

The main function of this malware is to hide all the files in the flash drive and to store malware, adware, bot, keyloggers in the same flash drive in a file name exactly what you've early in that drive.

For example: Assume that you are inserting a pendrive or your mobile phones memory sd card in a above virus attacked computer or laptop.  those viruses will copy some viruses to your pendrive immediately after inserting your pendrive in that computer, and that virus will start its duty instantly.  First it will hide all the files by setting those files attributes (properties) system files.  Now your system will hide all those files automatically since those are all marked as system files and system files are very necessary to run OS and some application smoothly. 

 Then the virus will store some shortcuts into your pendrive.  Actually those all are not shortcuts, they are all application (virus) instead.  Those shortcuts will be renamed exactly as your files whichever is hidden by this virus.

Below picture is an example how the virus infected pendrive's files will look.

This is to confuse you, sure you'll think these are all the shortcuts for your files stored in your pendrive and the main theme of this confusion is to force you to open those shortcuts (actually virus application).

If you tried to open those shortcuts, nothing will happen, neither your file opens nor any error notifications.  But in background, this virus will run an application which spreads this virus immediately to the computer / laptop you've inserted this pendrive.

You'll get tired and you'll realize that your memory drive is infected with a virus after giving several successful tries to open your files.  Now, you'll sadly decide to format your pendrive. 

But wait..... don't do it....

Your files are safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can still see it!!

Go to Tools>>Folder Options>>  then Check (tick) "Show Hidden Files"  and Uncheck (untick) "Hide Protected Operating system files" >> Hit Apply >> OK to close the folder option window. (See below picture for guidence)

Be amazed you can now see all your hidden files whatever you thought you've lost.....!!!!!!!

Now you can safely copy your files and folders to your computer but note, the attributes of these files often stay unchanged even if you uncheck hidden attribute on file/folder properties. Those files and folder still marked as system files and again you cant' see these files and folders once you Tick the "Hide Protected Operating system files" .

If it is a Memory SD card of a mobile phone, then the mobile still can't able to show your files while you try to access your memory via your mobile.

don't worry still your files and folders are safe and you can retrieve it back to normal as cleaned one.  I have a solution for it.

Here i going to tell the Permanent Solution for recovering hidden files by Command prompt in windows operating system.

Step One:

Plug your USB Pendrive or External HDD or Memory Card or Your Mobile's Memory Card Using a card reader which is Affected.

Delete these files from the pendrive - Autorun.inf, Ravmon.exe, svchost.exe (virus files)

Step Two:

Go to Start -> Run-> Type CMD and Enter

Step Three:

Find the drive letter for the connected USB drive. For Example, I:

In command prompt, type I:

and Hit enter. Command Prompt will show I:/

Step Four:

Then type

attrib -s -h /s /d *.*

Make sure that you put space between each elements in the code.

attrib (space) -s (space) -h (space) /s (space) /d (space) *.*

and hit enter and wait for few seconds.

Check the Screen Shot of Above Steps:

Now check your USB pendrive you can see your files are back in their locations. 

Important: your pendrive and systems are still affected with that virus.  If you unplug and re-insert your pendrive into the same PC, your pendrive will get infected again.

So, please first install a good updated antivirus software and also update your windows defender frequently or install "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" to clean these viruses.

Voila... That's alll.. Enjoyyyyyyy.... Good luck.

iWatch Concept – 2014

Over the last few months or so, rumors about the so-called iWatch have picked up. While there has never been any real confirmation from Apple that they are definitely producing one, Tim Cook did say that they were considering a wearable device.  Since then we’ve read reports that say Apple is hiring engineers to help work on the iWatch, and a lot of new patents have been filed relating to a device of this nature.

In the absence of any real information, the concept designers have been coming up with their own ideas of what they think it should look like and how it should work.  James Jivaldi is the latest in a long line of designers to bring his concept to the table and it’s got a touch of sci-fi about it.
His concept is based around the rumors of a flexible display, something else that Apple has filed patents for.  It looks to be made from some kind of metal and glass which kind of ties in with the current form of the iPhone.
It has a clock face on it and, just below, is what looks like a 1.5” display screen that mimics the home screen of the iPhone or iPad. Jivaldi has included a front camera in his design, a small metal band that opens the watch latch and there are dual screens. A small speaker is also incorporated and the display is a touchscreen, although it isn’t clear if this is flexible or not.  The base of the iWatch is manufactured from some sort of bending fiber and elastic with the metal and glass layer over the top.


It has the look of a smart bracelet rather than a watch and being constructed in part from glass and metal could make it a little on the heavy side.  What do you think?

A Basic knowledge about the Sim Card

A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices ,such as mobile phones and computers.

It is also a portable memory chip used mostly in cell phones that operate on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. These cards hold the personal information of the account holder, including his or her phone number, address book, text messages, and other data. When a user wants to change phones, he or she can usually easily remove the card from one handset and insert it into another. SIM cards are convenient and popular with many users, and are a key part of developing cell phone technology.

Sim Cards are of four (4) Types. Named as Below H1, H2, H3, H4

H1= You Will Get Normal Network On This Sim
H2= You Will Get Better Network On This Sim, Means Strong
H3= You Will Get More Better Network On This Sim, Means Stronger
H4= Normal, Better, More Better Is Nothing In Front OF This Sim.

Basically H4 Sim giving for Corporate Sim, Army Peoples etc. The Company doesn’t Provide H4 Sim To all User,because this Sim eat More bandwidth. For knowing Which Type of Sim is using Just Check Its Back Side and will Get the Sim No. and the Sim Type.

SIM cards are made in three different sizes to accommodate different devices. Most phones use mini-SIM or micro-SIM cards, which are quite small — the mini is 25 mm by 15 mm , and the micro is 15 mm by 12 mm.Full-sized cards are much larger, 85.6 mm by 53.98 mm , and are too big for most phones. All cards are only 0.76 mm thick, and the microchip contacts are in the same arrangement. This means that, with the proper adapter, the smaller cards can be used in devices designed for larger ones.

A SIM card offers security for both the user’s data and his or her calls. The cards can be locked, meaning that only someone who has the correct personal identification number (PIN) can use the card. If the phone is stolen, the thief cannot use a locked SIM or get any information off of it without the PIN.
