GSM World – Online face of GSM Association

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for mobile telephone systems in the world. The GSM Association, its promoting industry trade organization of mobile phone carriers and manufacturers, estimates that 80% of the global mobile market uses the standard.[1] GSM is used by over 3 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories. – GSM Wiki

GSM World – Online face of GSM Association – “The GSMA represents the interests of the worldwide mobile communications industry”

GSM Technology for Mobile Communications

EDGE – GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology provides up to three times the data capacity of GPRS

HSPA – The set of technologies that defines the migration path for 3G/WCDMA operators worldwide

GSM – An open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services

GPRS – A very widely deployed wireless data service, available now with most GSM networks

portable dapj and Practical Electronics

I am now experimenting with an idea of using Google Sites for Web enabled HandHeld Devices like iPod and iPhone.

portable dapj – This works, i will use it for updates and news.

Using @googlesites and 300px width i have further improved http://m.dapj.com/ for smartphones like iPhone and http://www.google.com/phone

You can see many features of Google Sites at these two experiments.

Tabbed Tech Tuned EE Multi Search

delabs Tuned search engines are at dapj Web. Seven Specialized Search Engines are at dapj Tuned Search.

Now i have added one page that combines all search engines relevant to electronics here. Multi Tech Search.

This works well in Chrome and Firefox, In IE it works well but blue lines come in the formatting. In Win98 and Windows Me it works best only on Opera.

Uninterrupted Power Distribution for Homes

The Enhancement of Mains power system for Homes and Small Business is critical. The population is more now and the use of electricity for more appliances becomes inevitable, this makes power shortages imminent.

The power to Homes can be distributed by two types of phase lines (live), a common neutral and the usual earth. High Phase is for Heaters and Motors and some lighting too. This phase can be shut down on power failure, load management or over use. The other is the Green Energy line, a low current phase which never fails! It is used only for lighting and small and light electronic appliances. It is a limited energy line. That means, so much kWhr for a month, beyond which the line will trip off for the month. This Green Line is augmented by solar, wind or tidal electricity. That way this Green Line is Uninterrupted, but Energy Limited. This will bring a sense of responsibility on the consumer, who will plan the usage of his Green Power Line carefully.

The other High Phase raw line can go off due to Black-out and Brown-outs, when there is a shut down or load balancing. This can also be energy limited at a higher threshold, depending on the number of people in the small business or home. Big Companies have their own Mini Power stations to manage the Power problems, Here also a Green Line can be provided in addition to the mini power stations.

The sensible and frugal, energy consumer can depend on his Green Line to manage his office or home, with no interruption of power. All Home users, Commercial Establishments, Factories and Companies have to become responsible, frugal and austere in the consumption of both electricity and fossil fuels. This not only saves the costs for the company, but the society (read customers) which is the environment they depend on, is also sustained.

Happy Healthy People means more Customers/Consumers, that implies Economic Growth and a Vibrant/Resilient Stock Market.
