How Targeted Advertising Work

How it is possible that internet accurately know what kind of things we "like" or "dislike"


Advertisers use a range of information about you, like your age, gender and location, to flag up relevant ads












If you look at a product on the web you may find that it follows you around, popping up in adverts on
seemingly unrelated websites. 
This is one of the simplest forms of targeted advertising. When you visit a website, third-party advertisers leave tracking cookies in your browser, enabling them to monitor your online activity and remind you later of items or services you looked at earlier. Search engines like Google collect data about the searches performed from a particular IP address, taking into account search terms, but also the user’s location. 
They even target advertising based on keywords collected from the messages in your email inbox. Your activity on Google-owned sites like YouTube is also fed back to advertisers for use in targeting. Social networks sell data to advertisers too. Facebook uses the personal information that you provide about your life and interests, along with your ‘Likes’ and friendships, to help advertisers pitch to a suitable audience.

Solar Powered Rubbish Bins

Solar powered rubbish bins look like ordinary dustbins but these are powered by light(sun), so the question is what is power is used for ? Actually these dustbins has an trash compaction system which is powered by light or solar system and some other intelligent features explained bellow  Features  They crash litter  Send notification (usually email) when full  Make collection process efficient  Totally powered by sun   How it work You can see the parts of the solar bin in the picture.These bins contain a sensor to detect when it is full , when the litter reaches to a specific thresh hold it start the compaction process, it use a 12 volts battery which is charged by sunlight. Normally these bins have capacity of 800 litres (180 gallons) , due to its low power consumption it can be even used in shaded places  It use a wireless transmission system which is connected to the sensor and it send a signal to the local waste collecto...

Explaination Of Electron Gun

Thomson discovered the electron using this concept in 1897 after conducting experiments with cathode rays and studying their uses. Electron guns are a very versatile electrical component. They are essential to a number of devices, from 3D printers and welders to the large synchrotron at the Diamond Light Source in the UK and the electric systems of Kimball Physics in the US So how they work It’s all down to kinetic energy and electrical currents. When installed in an electrical device’s vacuum tube, the gun turns electrons and ions into usable beams of energy by releasing them from their  metal source (cathode). This process is known as thermionic emission. Inside the gun there is a small filament that heats the cathode, which makes it release a stream of electrons. The electrons accelerate rapidly and the resulting beam is pulled toward the neighbouring anode, which is positively charged. There are small holes in the anode which allow some electrons to pass through, so a...

Sonic Weapons

To disperse crowds and prevent rioting, various forms of non-lethal weapons (NLW) are used. Among these, interestingly, is sound. Known as an acoustic or sonic weapon, infrasound (superlow frequency) and ultrasound (super-high frequency) greatly affect human ears. They can disorientate a target and have psychological effects as well as physical effects of nausea and damage to blood vessels. Explanation Ultrasound can be increased to 120 decibels (the same volume as a jumbo jet taking off), which is considered the human pain threshold. In contrast, infrasound feels like a damaging vibration or pressure wave, as it’s at a frequency too low for humans to hear. When exposed to high levels of sound, the influx of energy has a painful effect on the body. As well as huge decibels of volume, the variations in frequency can also cause damage. For instance, an infrasound of seven or eight Hertz can rupture blood vessels. Certain types of sound within the frequencies we are able to he...
