Laser network security system using simple ckt

Figure shows the connection diagram ! its a 311 opamp with 4 th terminal gnded R2 is an LDR whose dark resistance is greater than 10kohm A laser torch can be used to power the ckt which is directed at the LDR ! when the light is falling on the LDR its resistance will be less than 10k ohm,then the voltage drop across the resistance will be less ! hence the o/p voltage of the opamp will be 0.When the light is interrupted the resistance of the LDR increases hence droping more voltage ,and the o/p will be approximately supply voltage .The o/p can be connected across a buzzer and can be connected to a relay if the alarm ,we want is of non stoping .ie ,it can be turned of only by another process not by turning the light again. the pin out of the 311 However the sytem provides no other extra security! becoz if someone shows a light on the ldr and intrudes the laser then the system may not be able to realise wat happened !So we must use some extra security tecniques ! Those includes 1)f

A software generating morse code:cw_player

CW_Player click on the image for a better view This freeware program generates the standard Morse caracters, Q codes, abbreviations, random series of characters and text files. It controls your knowledge through a Quiz test and helps you to get a good keying by monitoring your CW signals. Keying off air and verifying your transmission on the screen will let you go on air with less stress and more confidence. It generates Wave sound files (*.wav) of morse characters that can be played by any media software. Local characters can be created by yourself. 20 lessons are proposed to learn the Morse code. You can modify their contents as you like. MIRROR:click on the fig below to download cw_player :

Say bye to digital computers

A quantum computer is based on the amazing properties of quantum systems. In these a quantum bit, also known as a qubit, exists in two states at the same time and the information from two qubits is entangled in a way that has no equivalent whatsoever in the normal world. David Deutsch, Oxford University theoretical physicist, is credited with being the father of quantum computing. Deutsch invented the idea of the quantum computer in the 1970s as a way to experimentally test the "Many Universes Theory" of quantum physics -- the idea that when a particle changes, it changes into all possible forms, across multiple universes. In the classical model of a computer the most fundamental building block, the bit, can only exist in one of two distinct states, a '0' or a '1'. In a quantum computer the rules are changed. Not only can a 'quantum bit', usually referred to as a 'qubit', exist in the classical '0' and '1' states, but it can als

T-Rays vs. X-rays

Knife and guns appear visible through the t-ray technology becoz its sharp edges scatter the radiation. And yet, unlike X-rays, T-ray screeners could be used routinely on people, because the radiation is harmless. But some terahertz imagers have another ability, one not even claimed by the comic-book specs: not only can they see hidden objects, but they can tell what those objects are made of. Many explosives, including all the plastic explosives popular with terrorist groups, reflect and transmit a characteristic combination of terahertz waves that make them distinguishable from other materials, even those that might seem identical to the eye and hand. They have “standoff capability,” meaning they can see a few meters away, a very desirable feature in the security business.In just two or three years, versions that can see at a distance of tens of meters should be available, which would be a great safety boon to security personnel. There are lots of uses outside of the security arena f
