Shake to recharge


Ever think like, battery charger at it uses can go to continually. Use be finished charge get must not scrap

But, do not want to be diligent go out insert charge with all reason, such as stand of charge disappear or have no the time waits for charge etc.

Now have the way recharge in addition within the battery charger of SHAKENERGY

The battery charger concept of Mintpass this model will might suit equipment that want recharge in the time briefly or the equipment that want the quickness. Because, we may don't shake it poor fulfills?

This battery recharge type is Nickel metal hydrate battery and its size is the most commonly used size : AA

The ideas for the better world

Are you pilot wannabe ???

Want to become a pilot?
Will be a lot of raised hands to answer that question, for sure it was including me.

The pilot is currently a very prestiges job, elite and exclusive, high income but high risk, but that's not my goal to become a pilot.

An interest and a passion in aviation, wanted to deliver a better service to others, can see the beauty of nature , the study of nature and other different environments, exploring space and seeing clouds, and you know that the earth is very beautiful when seen from above.

Being a pilot is an easy thing, but to be a good pilot, it is very difficult, the requirements are very hard, such as intellectual or aptitude, physical, mental and airmanship or attitude.

"Sky is Vast, but There's No Room for Error", a slogan which is attached to every  pilot, the sky is so vast, but there is no room at all to make mistakes, so the pilots must undergo periodical checks, start from Medical Check , Proficiency Check, Line Check, etc to be done, so that the aptitude and attitude skills of the pilot is always maintained and updated properly.

Why not join to a flying school?
Of Course I want learn and train to become a pilot at flying school, especially so many flying schools in Indonesia, as follows:
  • STP Curug
  • Alfa
  • Deraya
  • etc.
But this time the cost to join to the flying schools are still very expensive for the average Indonesian, so only a few people can join to a private pilot school.

There are several ways to join in school for free, the government schools such as STP Curug and through the Cadet Program from the Airlines, but is very difficult to pass the qualifications test.

Still can not be a real pilot, be a virtual pilot ...

Thanks to a program called Flight Simulator, especially Microsoft flight simulator, although masked to the game genre, but at least it can provide knowledge and entertainment to become a pilot.

The first program created by Bruce Artwick with sublogic company in 1977, issued a Flight Simulator FS1, FS2 in 1983,  then acquisition by Microsoft, and developed the FS until now called FSX.

  •      1982 - Flight Simulator 1.0
  •      1983 - Flight Simulator 2.0
  •      1988 - Flight Simulator 3.0
  •      1989 - Flight Simulator 4.0
  •      1993 - Flight Simulator 5.0
  •      1995 - Flight Simulator 5.1
  •      1996 - Flight Simulator 95
  •      1997 - Flight Simulator 98
  •      1999 - Flight Simulator 2000
  •      2001 - Flight Simulator 2002
  •      2003 - Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight
  •      2006 - Flight Simulator X
On the flight simulator game, we became a pilot with the same airplane and airport as in the real world.
The main components are:
  • Plane
    •     FDE
    •     Model
    •     Textures
    •     Panel
    •     Sounds
  • AI traffic
  • Scenery
Another plus of this program, by using FSUIPC program we can integrate with other hardware or software, so many other friends can make a home cockpit.

Want more real, you can join online communities, IVAO and VATSIM, by using online network,  it's like a real pilot with a real controller and the real weather.

And now, I am happy to be a virtual pilot, and hopefully one day can become a real pilot.

Asus U6V Bamboo, change the nature to technology


Ever think several times that will have? Take the bamboo comes to do the invention have, the advantage?

Today already meet that "Asus UV6 Bamboo" can do. They has changed the material body usual from general to bamboo natural.

The material that apply in the notebook that this be regarded as very interesting.

Eh! that or not is the genuine wood? or be only the sticker . We come to see

"Asus U6V Bamboo", outstanding in about designing and the material that bring to produce, which there is the bamboo, be notebook in Platform Intel’s Centrino 2 , it features the Intel PM45 Express Chipset and is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 CPU clocked at 2.4 GHz. In addition to that, a whopping 4 GB of DDR2 800 RAM, and a discrete Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS make this ultra-portable a truly mean machine. The eSATA port lets you transfer data at high speed. Wireless WiFi Link 5100 AGN

Accessories, begin with a box has designing and use paper material that have to do premium box, can call that luxurious since box and Soft case from Targus at ASUS order upward special for this model especially, be made of brown bamboo velvet and the part that is dark brown leather is are like the lid, fully pump ASUS logo and bamboo picture beautiful really. Besides, still have the diary at assemble of the bamboo also, not big many sizes extremely beautiful suit.

For body, the outside is while we will see first impression most with wood grain skin. When touch know that be the bamboo really with a color that is wood nature color join with other components at is silver plastic, both of monitor edge, keyboard button include under body sees rather strange, the size is not very big extremely can be carry usable convenient .

The prominent point of "Asus U6V Bamboo" must tell be notebook first at use the components from the nature comes to produce. They choose use the bamboo to are the components because, the bamboo can to form process easy. The bamboo can grow pay back get easy grow up quickly just not year, can apply the work. Do not be nature destruction with tree big slitting comes to produce

"Asus U6V Bamboo" there is 2 the part that is the components of the bamboo is cover back and hand support. But in the Mouse pad will wood surface but, not sure bamboo or not? and ASUS logo will engrave on bamboo surface, not use just print with ink only

A hinge of "Asus U6V Bamboo" is hinge normal. There is moderately strength. but , if there is the power shakes a hinge move a little, system lock a monitor is like a spring that a hinge

A monitor has clear good sharpness is a monitor like the reflection moderately. "Asus U6V Bamboo", there is a monitor that not thick and wideness of a monitor when stretch out last until will stay about 130 degree. The size is when compare with size book A4, the width is similar but long a little more.The thick is when compare with a two DVD box, front thick edge a little more but the rear will big moderately more

YikeBike, The front wheels is big, the rear wheels is tiny


"YikeBike" be who is electric bicycles that have to design don't be like, in addition still fold keep for convenient in the carry hand go to is usable

"YikeBike" will have two wheels different by a driver will be sitting on big wheel and powered by motor 1.2 KW. The side is handle control and body of a car makes of carbon fiber there is light property and strong and design for can fold the size 6 x 23.6 x 23.6 inch (23.6 inch are diameter of big wheel) and light weigh 22 lb (about 10 Kg) get speed to 20 k.m. /hrs can to charger battery 80% within 20 minute and pack up and go within 15 seconds

Unbelievable that "YikeBike" will control the work with electronics circuit really, especially the system protects locking are slipping

Designs of “YikeBike” make think of original two wheel bicycle in the past that the front wheels is big, the rear wheels is tiny. But, designing in that front wheels has will the diameter about 3 ft, which unbelievable alike again that, it will use to ride effectively

Now electricity bicycle has this still is concept, because of still seek the receiver produces can't is goods. But if there is production, the price will at the beginning about 3,000 pound

“RODEM M 1-1” high-tech leg of person crippled


The time goes to the hospital, May ever see the patient who can't walk, help oneself no and must sit on a wheel chair and have push by nurse

But soon, person disabled crippled can't walk or senile who walk to trouble in Japan. Will likely experience use high-tech new model electric wheel chair that be the universal vehicle is "RODEM M 1-1"

This innovation see resemble with “Scooter” general small-sized

But, there is modifying mattress the seat and control system are appropriate physical ergonomics of person crippled such as help go up-down get off from the side is simple

The lever part no catch on handle is be like scooter. Because, this point will use to support withstand body, help in the balancing act. but, change to control a car turn to the left turn to the right, advance and about turn by joy stick or lever button is that ting set up on the right

The developer give detail, RODEM M 1-1 powered by the electric energy from the battery. To electric changer 1 time fully, can usable a car has continual about 4 hour. The speed at 3.5 km./hrs fast a little more the scooter many times, because of usability objective differently

And design follow theory ergonomics for person crippled feel dexterous most the time drives

However, when new Technology in the market the price be is regarded as high price.

Be topmost gadget idea technology at many interesting.

Intro Basic Networking Theory

In general terms, Network is collection of devices and end systems that connected each other to communicate, share resource and information.

Computer network is funded by The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) with the design was called  "Advanced Research Projects Agency Network" (ARPANET) for the United States Department of Defense. It was the first operational computer network in the world.

Common physical components of a network are:
  • Personal Computers (PC) or other End Systems
  • Interconnections such as NIC, Interface, Connector, Network Media / Link
  • L2 Devices such as Switches, devices that provide network attachment to the end systems and intelligent switching of the data within the local network
  • L3 Devices such as Routers, devices that interconnect networks and choose the best paths between networks

Characteristics of a network can be described and compared according to network performance and structure: Speed, Cost, Security, Availability, Scalability, Reliability, Topology.
Topology in networks, there are two types of topologies, physical and logical topology. Physical is the arrangement of the cable that connecting the network devices and logical is the path that the data signal take through the networks.

Basic Physical Topology are bus, ring, and star topology. From that basic, we can create the physical more complex, like: extended ring, full mesh etc, of course we must decide the best that suitable with the networks objective.

Connection to the networks, can also be classified according to the hardware and software technology that is used to interconnect the individual devices in the network, as follows:
Wired Technologies: Twisted-Pair Wire, Coaxial Cable, Fiber Optics
Wireless Technologies: Terrestrial Microwave, Communications Satellites, Cellular and PCS Systems, Wireless LANs using  IEEE 802.11, 802.16, Bluetooth etc

Networks are often classified on their scale, scope and purpose, such as Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Personal Area Network (PAN), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Campus Area Network (CAN), Storage Area Network (SAN), etc.
An Internetwork is the connection of two or more distinct computer networks or network segments via a common routing technology. The result is called an internetwork (often shortened to internet). In common use the Internet Protocol now.

There are at least three variants of internetworks, depending on who administers and who participates in them: Intranet, Extranet, Internet.

Many applications available for users in a network environment, some applications are common to use by all users.
Email : Outlook, Eudora, Gmail, Yahoo etc
Web Browser : Firefox, IE, Chrome etc
IM : Yahoo, Gtalk, MSN etc
Database : Sql, File Servers, etc
Collaboration : WebEx, Netmeeting etc
