Drone Maker DJI Bans Washington Flights After White House Crash

According to reports, last week drone of Chinese manufacturer crashed into the White House lawn when it was taking the action to prevent regular incidents. Drone maker DJI stated that “In coming days we will publish a firmware update, which can prevent its flying kit while flying inside Washington DC, which is restricted airspace. And soon after the incidents Drone maker DJI bans all the flights in Washington.


As per the last update currently all aircraft are stopped from crossing national borders, as reports says that last week one of the quadcopters of DJI was found on the ground nearby car park, which is closed to Mexico-US divide. Quadcopter was containing methamphetamine and bags were taped to its body because traffickers were trying to smuggle the illegal drug into United States of America.

Now owners of the Phantom 2 family of drones need to download the updated firmware and later they need install it for the restrictions to take effect and after that programmers will be able to de-activate any kind of the limitations in new models, and these models will come with pre-installed codes. But according to one of the organization, which is Shenzhen-based firm “It would inform the customers that these updates are mandatory and it can make it impossible to add any other future features in it if the firmware will not be installed”.


As per Michael Perry, who is the spokesperson of DJI, “As we all know that aerial systems community is growing day by day, so we feel that it is important to provide additional tools to pilots to fly safely and more responsibly”.

The more DJI officials stated that we are co-operating with national regulators, so that they can make it sure that our sky is still safe and it is open for innovative innovations, as he added that our organization intended to expand the kit’s and additional tools for no fly zone system, and it will work by checking a the GPS location of drone's and it will ensure that drones will not fly in restricted areas such as; an airport runway and other areas of security.


On last Monday, “US Secret Services started an investigation, when one of DJI's Phantom drones was found in the no flying zone of White House. Later it was identified that the device was flown by another government worker, who was the unnamed member of the NGIA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency), while drinking he was operating the device through the window of his own apartment. But he was not arrested, as the arrested indicated that there is need to implement new rules to safeguard the President and other members.

Currently, Federal Aviation Administration is working on the controls to govern the commercial use opf small and big drones, but there have been news that it can be ready to issue them until 2017. In mean time new policy of DJI will limit at least some of its drones as they will be able to take flight within the 15.5 mile of radius. We all know that eagle has crash-landed in Washington and now there should not be stronger FAA guidelines for drones are much needed.

A Clever Design Helps the Cloud LED Shine

Cloud LED’s of Green Creative BR30 seems to look like Star Trek as they have futuristic-looking serves. If you will float LEDs on above physique of a tuber, so it can reduce the weight of a bulb and as well as it will help you to conduct feverishness better, as anyone who ever owned a laptop have witnessed the overheating problem. We all know that Cloud LEDs are enough to manage the feverishness and in boasting the lightness and improved potency in comparison of any floodlight, which we have tested till now. We all are aware about the fact that GE Reveal BR30 LED, which is Green Creative Cloud LED is Editor’s Choice-winning as it is best option in terms of decoration lighting and also have a good value, which is $ 13 and it is $5cheaper than GE.

Design of Cloud LED’s: 

Currently, the infancy of LEDs is easy to replicate a classical demeanor and they also strive for some different things to eschewing laxity and as well as holding a uninformed process for BR30 design. But it means not that they are station out as it’s very clear that tuber requires reduction materials for producing them. Its identical patterns are absolutely similar in patterns as we can see in equally labeled Philips SlimStyle BR30 LED in which diodes lay are in a prosaic hoop of a spare stub of a body.

It’s very clear that both lights imports so much than their competitors as they are providing a guarantee to conduct feverishness better. If you will compare the dual spec for spec, so you will get to know that Cloud LED comes out forward on roughly turns. Both bulbs are good to explain a light outlay of 650 lumens, if you will test them with a spectrometer and integrating sphere, which is off SlimStyle and came in 627 lumens, while Cloud LED comes with reasonable reading of 710 lumens.

While double checking you will get that 2,700 K Cloud LEDs are equally impressive and they are much above the benchmark numbers from Cloud LEDs and other thing is tones of temperature too. These embody of an additional comfortable 2,400 K Cloud LED, and white light is a Cloud LEDs that shines with 4,000 K. Researchers have also find the fact that Cloud LEDs have put the light out from a energy pull of 8 watts, which is much reduced that any other BR30 LED, which we have tested during the experiments. No other than that tuber we have tested to strike even 70 lumens per watt.

It is expected that these LEDs will save the electricity cost and they sits with a color-rendering score, which fell with the score of 80 out of 100. Most LEDs have the score of 80, which is really unimpressive series that these formulas generate low score with red tones, which is area where LEDs have to struggle. Now it’s clear that lights sources are meant to irradiate colors while comparing to pristine daylight.

Why APIs Can Be the Workhorses in 2015?

We all are aware that web APIs (Application programming interfaces) are providing the new ideas and platforms for today's enterprises and for those people who are charged to build the latest technology to move things forward. Application programming interfaces are the vital part of developer's toolkit from past few years and they are very helpful to build and link the applications. In present, web APIs can be invoked from the internet and this can be the emerging scenario, which on can think of and it is from data analytics to integration to Internet of Things to end-user tracking and more. Roberto Medrano from SOA Software's has issued his thoughts about APIs and its scenario as they can be the end up with innovative job opportunities in APIs field;

1.APIs can provide the better platform for to analyze the big data: 

In 2014, Application Programming interfaces was not just to facilitate the communication and transmission of data, but in reality the application of data can be understand that how these data is going to be used. In past few years, APIs have delivers the tons of analysis, data and insights about customer perception and as well as behavior, which cannot be pulled from other sources. These insights include that who is using the data and how it is being consumed with additional modifications and as well as charges.

2.APIs can boost the use of micro-services: 

APIs are much componentized specifications, which tend to lends itself naturally to break down the enterprise applications into micro services. As per the Medrano, “APIs are brokering different kind of data and apps as micro services can help to construct these apps with the help of necessary services.

3.APIs are good enough to pull the together the Internet of Things (IoT): 

Internets of Things (IoT) are the API-enabled platform, which can extend data to deliver value to its users, as per the statement of Medrano. There is no chance for the existence of IoT without APIs and it is not just about the every piece of data as it can move into a device because it can get the API. The more Medrano added that, APIs are offering the new taxonomy of IoT, which can enable the data transactions at different device level without any back-end processing.

4.APIs will open the new doors for innovation: 

APIs will help to drive the innovation in two different ways, as enterprises are opening up their data analysis through APIs to unleash the creativity of third-party and partner developers; whereas; the second one is API enabled services and products are giving better and latest tools to its developers to allow them to focus on building.

5.APIs can enable the greater cloud integration: 

SaaS applications and Cloud need to integrate the Internet and API can provide the agility to get the integration in rapid order. In addition, we can see the more emphasis on orchestrating, managing, integrating and identifying the APIs to pull the applications and data.

Tracfone Agrees To Pay $40 Million to Settle FTC's Data-Throttling Charges

TracFone Wireless has agreed for settlement at $40 million which would be paid to Federal Trade Commission in order drop the charges of duping millions of customers through false advertising for unlimited data services. TracFone even actively indulged in malpractice of throttling the customer’s speed and cutting off their services entirely on exceeding the certain data allotments.

How TracFone Manipulated The Unlimited Data Plan

TracFone has resorted to controversial ‘data throttling’ practices in order to squeeze and throttle customers who happens to exceed a certain allocate amount of data within a month. TracFone has been accused of generally starting to throttle the customers after 3GB of data usage and it even discontinued the services of many customers who exceeded the undefined usage limit of 4GB.

In September 2013, TracFone started to issue some clarity on its data clarity practices exclusively for its Straight Talk and Net10 brands, signalling that the subscribers would be throttled to a 2G speed after the usage of 2.5 data. FTC has stated that such disclosures were not clear as well as were in fine small print which means consumers likely miss it. FTC even revealed that these practices were carried out not for the technical reasons but it was done in an effort to reduce the high costs associated with providing unlimited data.

TracFone Is Not The Only One Duping Customers

The duping incident of TracFone is not only one which came into the radar of FTC. FTC has made the similar accusation and had brought a lawsuit against AT&T Mobility for using dubious data throttling policies. FTC has alleged that this carrier has misled as many as 3.5 million customers with its scheme of unlimited data plans and later indulging in throttling their data speeds and changing the terms of the plan as well. However AT&T had rubbished such claims and stated that the lawsuit doesn’t have any merit though the case in still continuing.

TracFone Throttling Practices Goes A Long Way Back

According to the complaint filed by the FTC alleges that TracFone has been engaged in throttling practices since 2009. TracFone has extensively advertised about its prepaid monthly plan for around $45 per month wherein customers were entitled to receive unlimited data across various brands such as Stright Talk, Simple Mobile, Net10 and Telcel America.

The director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, Jessica Rich, has emphasised on the point that companies are liable to hold on to their promises and commitments to the consumers in any given case. If a company promises to deliver unlimited data plans then it has to do that.

FTC Build A Path For Claiming Refunds

The settlement made by TracFone has also paved a way wherein the consumers of its varied brands namely Straight Talk, Telcel America, Net10 and Simple Mobile would be able to get refunds from the company for services which it promised but failed to deliver. TracFone is also prohibited from further making any deceptive advertising claims about its data plans.

Particles Accelerate Without a Push

Discovery of Subatomic Particles – Induced to Speed up to the Speed of light

A team of researchers from MIT and Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology have come up with a discovery of some subatomic particles which can be induced to speed up by themselves to the speed of light without any application of external forces and the same principle could be used to extend the lifetime of some unstable isotopes or probably open up new avenues of research in particle physics. This discovery is the outcome of a theoretical analysis and not experiment, though if true could change the way we think on the motion of fundamental particles.

The findings were published in the journal - Nature Physics by Ido Kaminer, MIT post doc together with four other colleagues at the Technion. The result which are based on fresh analysis of the Dirac equations describes the relativistic behaviour of fundamental particles, such as electrons with regards to wave structure and by checking with wave structure, a quirk of quantum mechanics the cause of how particles could behave as if they are waves, it was indicated by the team, that there is a possibility to imbue electrons with unusual as well as counter-intuitive characteristics.

Phase Mask – To Develop Hologram

As per the researchers, these characteristics could be forced on the particles with the use of something known as phase mask which is used to develop hologram by creating useful interference though at a tiny scale it was possible, their model indicate that one of the new particle qualities have the ability to `self – accelerate’ in a way which is indistinguishable from how an electron could behave in a magnetic field. Here the particle would not actually be violating the laws of physics since the effect actually would see the particles also expanding in size as it moves.

This self-acceleration does not actually violate any physical laws, such as conservation of momentum because at the same time the particles tend to accelerate and spreads spatially in the opposite direction. Kaminer states that `the electron’s wave packet is not just accelerating, it also tends to expand and there is some part of it that compensates. It is referred to the tail of the wave packet and will go backward so the total momentum will be conserved. There is another part of the wave packet that is paying the price for the main parts’ acceleration’.

Self-Acceleration – To Produce Effects Connected with Relativity Theory

According to further analysis, it seems that this self-acceleration tends to produce effects which are connected with relativity theory and is a variation on the dilation of time as well as contraction of space, effects of which have been predicted by Albert Einstein to occur whenever objects move close to the speed of light.

Example of Einsteins’ famous twin paradox is that one twin travelling at high speed in a rocket tends to age more slowly than the other twin who remained on Earth. The next step for the researcher is to turn theory into practices and working at MIT, the team could use an electron microscope fitted with a special designed phase mask which could produce 1,000 times higher resolution than those needed to create modern hologram. Thus they would be capable of accelerating an electron without the need of doing anything to it.
