			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Increasing crime rate is giving unnecessary fears to the normal people. People are highly worried of their assets. Hence, they are deploying manual security for this purpose. But manual security is ineffective in providing appropriate security for the assets. Due to various reasons, manual security cannot give continuous monitoring. But, due to the advent of technology, security cameras came in to picture. These are most advanced and highly effective ways of securing one&#8217;s home or office.</p>
<p>Due to their high importance, they are being developed using various technologies. Some of the most important types of surveillance cameras are given below.</p>
<p><strong>Wired surveillance cameras:</strong> These are monitoring the surfaces with the help of wire connections. The power supply which is essential for working of cameras is sent through those wires. The installation of this camera will be visible due to external wire connections.</p>
<p><strong>Wireless surveillance cameras:</strong> These cameras monitor the surfaces without the connections of the wires, these work with the help of batteries. These are beneficial for secret installation in the surfaces. Wireless surveillance cameras exist in different sizes and styles. The installation of these cameras is very easy and can be installed whenever required.</p>
<p><strong>Covert surveillance cameras:</strong> They do not appear like a normal surveillance cameras. They appear like a wall clock, doll, potted plant, etc. We can say these devices as secret or hidden cameras because they are not easy to find out in the surfaces but their capacity of monitoring is high and similar to other cameras.</p>
<p><strong>Night vision cameras:</strong> These are technically developed cameras, which are more capable of monitoring dark areas and night times. They provide good monitoring records even at low-light areas.</p>
<p><strong>Fake surveillance cameras:</strong> These are not real surveillance cameras but appear like the original ones. These creating the feeling of continuous monitoring, the motion LED facility is an additional benefit of these fake surveillance cameras.</p>
<p>Remember surveillance cameras are efficient ones for monitoring surfaces and reducing the crimes or robberies indoors.<span id="more-1648"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">Fireplaces can warm an area and make an inviting atmosphere for your home. Nevertheless, if not taken care of or used properly they can create a risk. Practice very good fire safety suggestions to prevent home fires, burns and other fire related injuries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Keep your fireplace tidy:</strong> The place around the fireplace and hearth must be kept clear of debris, decoration and any other flammable materials. Also, ensure that the ventilation window works effectively. Check to see that it does not have debris blocking it or it is not covered with soot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Child proof the fireplace space:</strong> Young children must be watched by the adults if fire is lit. Look at putting safety barriers such as a hearth fence around the fireplace and get rid off fireplace tools. Only adults need to light the fire.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Have your chimney checked out every year:</strong> Smoke from low burning fires or wet wood leave behind creosote on your chimney walls. Over time it can build and trigger its own fire. Homeowners must check out and clean their chimneys every year by certified chimney inspector.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Install smoke and carbon monoxide sensors all through the property:</strong> Homes need to have smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms on each and every floor. Homeowners will need to examine regularly if their device is working correctly or not. Exposure to carbon monoxide could be very dangerous. Carbon monoxide is a clear, odorless gas and exposure to results in difficulties in blood in carrying oxygen which is vital to the body. The very best method to prevent exposure to the poisonous gas is by installing sensors and making sure that the batteries are replaced at least once in a year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">You can add bigger pieces of dry wood to the fire once the kindling starts to burn. However, be careful not to smoother the fire. When the dry wood starts to burn fire should become much less smoky. Never leave your fire burning over night. Also, constantly make certain the fire is entirely out and also the fuel is closed before going to bed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The infrared laser devices are new technology innovations which measure the electromagnetic radiations that come from the surface or objects. These devices are mostly used in industries and hospitals in surgeries. From the medical point of view infrared laser devices are more efficient and hygienic. They have a thermometer as well as a microscope. The microscope can measure quickly the movements of molecules on the surface and the thermometer measures the temperature of the surface. These details are displayed in digital form on the screen. The total process to record the temperature takes only 7 seconds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The laser device thermometers are very much essential in industries as the the high temperatures are cannot be calculated easily and are often dangerous. These devices can give results within seconds and that too from a safer distance. The high accuracy and durability of these thermometers make it an important gadget in the manufacturing industry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Business safety is crucial in any industry. The workers who are spending more time with these lasers are more safe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The virtualization performance monitoring means, continuously monitoring the performance of the virtual machines and the resource utilization with a virtual environment. Virtualization performance monitoring software tracks VM availability and performance metrics, including CPU and memory utilization, disk usage, and network bandwidth. By defining performance thresholds, system administrators are able to receive alerts when outages occur.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As similar to benefits of ROI by server consolidation, virtualization performance monitoring can also give more benefits. Virtualization main idea is to do more with less. This idea has what created a foothold for virtualization in data centers.<br />
VZirtualized data centers are more efficient, since they have only few physical servers to manage, which can efficiently deliver measurable savings as fewer servers result in reduction of power usage, physical hardware support, square footage and cooling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A number of options, enhancements and capabilities are available today that can help data center managers monitor virtualization performance and increase virtualization’s return on investment (ROI) while reducing its total cost of ownership.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many safety tips and suggestions to save fuel during drive and to make the car more economical. Many car buyers think of purchasing a car that has fuel economy features. The main reason for this thought is the increase in fuel prices. This hike made car makers to think of developing new vehicles that consume less fuel and this development resulted in hybrid cars. But still lot of buyers prefer gasoline or diesel for fuel. Due to this, car makers came up with economy mode.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This technology was not much popular before a decade, but present day many of the automakers are providing this feature in their new models. Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedez, Ford are few cars that offer economy mode.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Economy mode enhances the fuel efficiency</strong><br />
The driver can activate the “Eco mode” by simply clicking a button. The Economy mode allows the driver to take control of fuel by taking control of the car itself. This mode reduces the unnecessary torque and power there by increasing the fuel efficiency. Many of the car makers claim that the economic mode helps to improve the fuel efficiency by 5% to 10%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If driver follows the suggestions of Eco mode system, he/she can increase the fuel efficiency by 24%. If every American driver follows these suggestions, and achieve 15% benefit in fuel economy, then U.S. Drivers can save more than 22 billion gallons of gasoline every year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As per the U.S. Transportation Department, if the driver uses cruise control for 10,000 miles then he can save nearly $200 and more than 60 gallons of fuel. If the speed limit is not exceeded by 60mph, mileage could be improved by 23%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Economy mode controls electrical systems of a car</strong><br />
Economy mode helps to increase the battery capacity. When this mode is ON, the air conditioning system automatically decreases the load on the engine. It is not just a single feature, but a package of multiple economy features. This mode adjusts the electrical systems of the car, by automatically turning off the non-essential electrical systems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Economy Mode &#8211; Operating efficiency of the engine</strong><br />
In some cars, Eco-mode monitors engine rpm, vehicle speed, accelerator position, clutch position, engine temperature. Based on these parameters, the system evaluates and provides suggestions to improve operating efficiency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Few of the Eco-driving practices are</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Use highest drivable gear</li>
<li>Maintain constant speeds to enjoy a smooth ride in cities</li>
<li>Use cruise control on the highway</li>
<li>Accelerate and decelerate smoothly</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even if the driver is driving in traffic, he can still maintain his car at a constant speed as the traffic lights in a series are generally synchronized. A car moving at a specific speed can cross a series of green lights without having to stop. Thus, the driver can avoid red lights and keep the vehicle moving efficiently.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Economy mode improves the fuel efficiency, operating efficiency of engines and increases the battery capacity and decreases the maintenance cost. Drivers have to practice Eco-driving skills to get benefited out of this Eco-mode.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The modern period of barcodes started from mid 1970&#8242;s. NAFC had established a committee which was intended to develop a barcode for grocery industry. It also called bids for the same. Among the participated companies in the bidding process, IBM was successful in winning the bid. George Laurer of IBM is the person who is responsible for the evolution of present day U.P.C symbology. This symbology consists of 12 characters, divided in to two halves each having 6 characters. Each digit in the symbology has specific information attached to it. The first digit is always zero. And the next five digits has information of the manufacturer. The digits 7 to 11, represent the SKU ot the product number. The last digit is very important and is known as check digit, whose purpose is used to check whether the code is read correctly. The U.P.C barcodes are very easy to read and easily printed. The NAFC has announced the U.P.C symbology as their standard. Kepping the furture industry requirements in mind, the IBM had successfully designed other five versions of U.P.C symbology – UPC A, B, C, D and E.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Later, in 1991, Tippecanoe Systems Inc. ahd introduced the bars and stripes form of barcodes, which has become very popular among the all the industries. In June of 1974, the first U.P.C. scanner has read the U.P.C barcode on Wrigley&#8217;s Chewing gum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The modern applications of the barcodes are in hospital patients where barcode ID bracelets, codes appear on truck parts, business documents, shipping cartons, marathon runners, etc. Airlines use an IATA standard 2D barcode on boarding passes. Some 2D barcodes are embedded with a hyperlink to a  web page, they are widely used in shop floor control applications software where employees can scan work orders and track the time spent on a job.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">David Collins worked at Pennsylvania Railroad, developed the barcodes to address the problems faced in accurately tracking train cars. He developed a system called KarTrak with reflective stripes made from phosphorescent ink that can be easily read by light and pasted on train cars. He used blue and yellow reflective types, encoding a six digit company identifier and a four digit car number. The first test using this system was conducted by Boston &amp; Main on gravel cars in 1961. In 1967, many experiments have taken place and a nationwide standard for a coding system was adopted. Th economic downturn in the mid 1970&#8242;s killed the system as a flurry of railroad bankruptcies gutted industry budgets. Collins, in 1967, founded his own corporation called Computer Identics. Then he started to work on automatic identification technology. He used black and white barcodes but the light source was replaced with a helium neon laser beam that scanned the barcodes from several feet away. The laser light source was smaller, cooler, and could move back and forth at faster rates over the barcodes. This made the process simpler and reliable and it allowed to deal with the damaged labels.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Computer Identics Corporation installed two scanners one in General Motors plant in Pontiac, Michigan, to monitor the production and distribution of automobile axle units and the other in General Trading Company in Carlsbad, New Jersey, to help direct shipments to the proper loading bay doors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Middle stages are the period were the development of barcode technology has seen greater transformation and most importantly it has been commercially applied.</p>
