Sony Next Generation Portable – NGP aka PSP2

Sony calls the next generation Play Station Portable the ‘NGP’ aka the Next Generation Portable.  The next generation handheld gaming console revolves around the following 5 aspects – A great new interface, location based gaming & entertainment, social networking services connections, augmented reality. The NGP will be compatible with Sony Playstation Suite – a cross-platform software framework. The best thing about NGP is that it’s backward compatible with PSP games also supports downloadable content from Sony Playstation Store.

Full  Technical Specifications:

The phone is powered with a Quad core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, OLED Display (960×544),two analog sticks on each side of the screen along with WiFi, 3G, GPS, rear touch-pad and gyroscope with accelerometer.

This NGP is suppose to use a new type of  memory storage – a cartridge .Going to be released sometime towards the end of this year – makes my good old psp look obselete.

Here is the video that gives u a feel of all features in NGP :

Timeline of a Car Crash

In designing the Falcon XT, Ford engineers set out to discover the anatomy of a car crash and found that the accident is typically over before we’re even consciously aware of it happening.

This is a reconstruction of a crash involving a stationary Ford Falcon XT sedan being struck in the driver’s door by another vehicle travelling at 50 km/h [30 mph].

0 milliseconds – An external object touches the driver’s door.

1 ms – The car’s door pressure sensor detects a pressure wave.

2 ms – An acceleration sensor in the C-pillar behind the rear door also detects a crash event.

2.5 ms - A sensor in the car’s centre detects crash vibrations.

5 ms – Car’s crash computer checks for insignificant crash events, such as a shopping trolley impact or incidental contact. It is still working out the severity of the crash. Door intrusion structure begins to absorb energy.

6.5 ms – Door pressure sensor registers peak pressures.

7 ms – Crash computer confirms a serious crash and calculates its actions.

8 ms – Computer sends a “fire” signal to side airbag. Meanwhile, B-pillar begins to crumple inwards and energy begins to transfer into cross-car load path beneath the occupant.

8.5 ms – Side airbag system fires.

15 ms – Roof begins to absorb part of the impact. Airbag bursts through seat foam and begins to fill.

17 ms – Cross-car load path and structure under rear seat reach maximum load.
Airbag covers occupant’s chest and begins to push the shoulder away from impact zone.

20 ms – Door and B-pillar begin to push on front seat. Airbag begins to push occupant’s chest away from the impact.

27 ms – Impact velocity has halved from 50 km/h to 23.5 km/h. A “pusher block” in the seat moves occupant’s pelvis away from impact zone. Airbag starts controlled deflation.

30 ms – The Falcon has absorbed all crash energy. Airbag remains in place. For a brief moment, occupant experiences maximum force equal to 12 times the force of gravity.

45 ms – Occupant and airbag move together with deforming side structure.

50 ms – Crash computer unlocks car’s doors. Passenger safety cell begins to rebound, pushing doors away from occupant.

70 ms – Airbag continues to deflate. Occupant moves back towards middle of car.
Engineers classify crash as “complete”.

150-300 ms – Occupant becomes aware of collision.

 

Tutorial :Complete guide to setting up a FREE site

I just got my first site uptime and working . Thought i would take time out to help out a few others getting their own site started FREE OF COST .

Ok lets get started :

First of all one needs to understand a few things . A site address like www.masteranil.co.cc in my case is referred to as a domain . Domains with extension .com,.org and majority of other domain extensions cost money  but there are a few domains which can be obtained free of cost like .co.cc , .tk extension domains and  i have chosen in this case .co.cc as it looks more professional.

So first stop get yourself a domain registered at .co.cc website .

Now that you have a domain you would need a host , a server where you can have your files and webpages kept . There are quite a few companies that offer this  service but they turn out be bogus most of the time . One good free hosting service i found was intl.uk.to . Register youself at this site and once you are done login to the cpanel with the username provided to you , password is the same as that you used during registration for the intl.uk.to website .

Update the  domain names list with your domain name . [ the red arrow in the above diagram shows it ]

 

Next go back to co.cc website in login . We need to change the name server for our domain – this is done to point our domain to the hosts server . The blue circle highlights the name server . Click on the domain in the window once you have logged in . Then click on Set-Up and update the nameserver to the two namely ns1.intl.uk.to & ns2.intl.uk.to . And there you go you have finished with creating a website .

Here’s mine http://www.codestrix.co.cc .

Now if u want to try out your new website you will have to upload your files to the server first . I myself use filezilla . After installing filezilla use  information under ‘Account Information’ section [refer pic above].Put all your pages under htdocs and there you have your completely free website.
