Control 3A Universal Power Supply

This universal power supply is universal in the true sense. With a output continually variable from 1.25 volts to 25 volts, this power supply is left with hardly any needs that it can't fulfill.The power supply is short circuit protected and  has in-built thermal overload protection.

As shown in figure, the power supply uses an LM350 type variable regulator. The IC in a TO-3 package and resembles the common 2N3055 and AD149 transistors. VR1 provides voltage control.R1,D2 and C2 are the accompanying components. The input voltage is obtained from an 30 volt source such as a transformer etc. The diode D1 provides a path for C3 to discharge  when the power is turned off. The output wires carry heavy currents, so adequate care must be taken to ensures the use of thick wires and terminal to prevent failures.A standard transistors type heat-sink must be used.

Control DC motor control a AVR ATmega8

DC motor control using the PWM counters of AVR ATmega8 microcontroller. I had used a DC motor from an old personal stereo cassette player. The circuit provides speed and direction control of the motor. The PWM waveforms are used for driving the MOSFET H-bridge as shown in the schematic:

At a time only one of the two PWM channel is active, driving only two MOSFETS (either Q1-Q4 or Q3-Q2). Other two MOSFETs remain OFF. Whenever the Direction Control switch is toggled, the PWM channel is also changed, driving the alternative pair of MOSFET, which changes the direction of current flow through motor, resulting in the direction change in rotation of motor shaft.

Control Iran Introduces Walking Humanoid Soorena Robot

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled a new Asimo-likerobot, which they intend to use in “sensitive jobs,” according togovernment newspapers. The report did not elaborate what the robot cando apart from dragging its feet across the floor.
Soorena-2, which was named after an ancient Persian warrior,measures 1.45 meters (4 feet 9 inches) in height and weighs 45kilograms (almost 100 pounds). It was an updated creation by therobotics team at Tehran University after its predecessor was introducedtwo years ago.
Another news reports that the Soorena-2 will eventually get visionand speech modules. The robot is part of a number of scientificprojects Iran has been researching, from cloning to stem cell researchto satellite technology.

A new Iranian humanoid robot called Soorena-2 has been designedby developed by 20 researchers and engineers from the University ofTehran to be used to conduct what are being called "sensitive jobs".What these jobs actually are we don’t know. The President MahmoudAhmadinejad just recently showed off this 4.7-foot walking robot to theworld. Soorena’s, who’s been named after an ancient Persian warrior,weighs in at 99 pounds and is capable of 12 foot movements, eight handmovement and the two for the head. We still don’t know exactly whatSoorena-2 is capable of, or is just one of those technologicaladvancements one likes to show off.

Control BlackBerry VM-605 Specification

The BlackBerry VM-605 features a loud speaker for clear calls. Built-in FM transmission allows drivers to make use of their vehicle’s stereo for calls and music. The most interesting features in the VM-605 is that it was designed to work with GPS applications like TeleNav that announce your directions over the speakerphone. BlackBerry has included a button lock function. Holding the FM, Volume Up, and Front Panel buttons for four seconds will power off the unit and lock the keys, preventing accidental calls. Repeat the process to awaken the unit.

Control RAM and ROM memories in Micoprosesor

Computer memory devices come in two basic types,RAM and ROM. these words are not as helpful as they could be.RAM standers for 'random access memory, a term which can in fact be applied to both types.ROM is 'read only memory'  which means that the computer system can obtain information stored in the memory('read' it) but can't store anything new in it('write' to it').RAM stores can boat be read from and written to,but both ROM and RAM have the random access facility.Put simply,this means that any data byte stored in the memory chip can be obtained as easily as the next, it doesn't matter whereabouts in the chip it is.

floppy disc systems offer the same facility A program stored anywhere on the disc can (to all intents and purpose) be just quickly accessed as any other.Compare this to information stored on magnetic tape.The first program on the tape is much easier to access than the last -  if you want to do it automatically- so that a tape memory is not regard as being random access.

Rom memory chips are programmed by the manufacture; they contain the computer operating system and standard routines (mini program) that may be used quite frequently;there may be a routine to clear the screen,for example.This information is stored permanently in the ROM chip and is not lost when power to the machine is switched  off. It is termed a 'non-volatile' memory.There is no possibility at all of making future changes to the contents of a ROM chip.The ROM, as with all semiconductor memory devices,is in matrix form and the connections within are permanent.

RAM chips are used for storing the user's program,you can write information the them and read it back again entirely at random according to your programming needs,but all the information's is lost when the computer system is switched off; this is therefore termed a 'volatile' memory system.

 A user would normally 'save' the contents of RAM (usually the program) on floppy or hard disc before turning the power off; such systems are called memory backing store. It is possible to write a program and have is stored  permanently in a ROM chip, but the process is quite complex and requires programmable ROM is used which is programmed during manufacture and would be too expensive to produce in small quantities.
