Encoders And Decoders In Digital Electronics

The main focus will be on the Encoders and Decoders in Digital Electronics here. But first, we will have to learn about Multiplexers and Demultiplexers. Multiplexers and Demultiplexers also work together as many communication systems are bidirectional. Multiplexer It follows the many-to-one rule. It is a combinational circuit that has at most 2 n data inputs where 'n' is the number of 'selection lines.' Out of these input lines, anyone is selected and routed to form the only output line. The input consists of analog or digital data. To handle analog signals, transistor switches and relays are used to build the multiplexer. To handle digital signals, logic gates are used to build the multiplexer. Some types of Multiplexers 2-to-1 Multiplexer(with 1 select line). 4-to-1 Multiplexer(with 2 select lines). 8-to-1 Multiplexer(with 3 select lines). 16-to-1 Multiplexer(with 4 select lines). Applications of Multiplexers It is used as a one-way rotary swi...

Bitcoin - A New Trend

We must have come across this term mainly on social media platforms. Recently, Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, announced Bitcoin as a way to buy the Tesla vehicles in the U.S. This depicts what a great deal Bitcoin must be. Let's have a detailed look. What Is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is the world’s largest Cryptocurrency, the world’s first decentralized virtual currency, which is said to be created in 2009 by some mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. The work done by this developer or a group of developers was considered regarding the project. Satoshi Nakamoto was active in this project till the end of 2010. Then he handed off the project to the open-source community and was no longer seen. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology where no banks are included and can be used as an investment. None controls it and its design is public. The free Bitcoin software is available online. Users can save a copy of the specific type of database that stores every Bitcoin transaction made ...

Convalescent Plasma Therapy- Here’s What You Need To Know

Introduction To Convalescent  Plasma Therapy In Plasma Therapy(Medically called Convalescent Plasma Therapy), people who have recovered from an illness donate their blood. This blood contains antibodies to the respective virus. Only plasma and antibodies are required. Thus, the blood is processed to remove the blood cells. This establishes antibodies helping others to fight against that virus. Convalescent  Plasma Therapy And Corona Virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) induces pneumonia called Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19). COVID-19 is named so by World Health Organization(WHO). According to the studies, SARS, a viremia, increases with a peak in the first week of getting infected. An immune response is developed in the second week that likely causes a cytokine storm where the body not just only fights against the virus but also attacks its tissues and cells. This is sufficient to cause destructive harm. Thus, researchers confirm th...

Some Common Plastics

What Is Plastic? All plastics are polymers that are long chain-like molecules. These molecules are made up of many units called monomers repeating about thousands of times. However, different types of plastics have different types of properties. Some melt on heating, whereas some don’t. Some are transparent, whereas some are opaque. Some are rigid, whereas some are flexible. Plastics Are Classified As: 1. Thermoplastics Heating makes them soft and cooling makes them hard. This can be done many times without letting the plastic change its chemical properties. They can even be liquefied on heating. Thus, they can be molded into any shape again and again. Examples Of Thermoplastics Liquid crystalline polymers, polypropylene, polyesters, polysulfones, polyurethanes, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, ketones, polystyrene, and polyphenylene sulfide. 2.   Thermosetting Plastics They are initially soft or in a liquid state but become hard when heated. The plastic gets cu...

Xampp Server: All You Need To Know

Introduction to Xampp Server Xampp stands for Cross-platform(X), Apache, Maria DB(formerly MySQL), PHP, and Perl. Xampp Server is a cross-platform, free, and open-source package. It is developed by Apache friends and allows to run the PHP programs on a local server. It is available in a 32-bit and a 64-bit package separately. The main components of Xampp Server are: ·          Cross-platform(X): It works across multiple types of platforms and/or operating environments like macOS, Linux, or Windows. ·          Apache: Manages to cache, handles incoming requests and hands them over to the processor, handles buffering, looks at basic authorization access, takes care of input/output throttling. It is a bunch of PHP, phpMyAdmin, FTP, and MySQL. ·          Maria DB/MySQL: Stores persistent data is stored by this across requests. Services of data storage, data retrieva...
