DATA SCIENCE

Data scientist is trending all over the world. The demand for such scientists is huge, more than the number of available candidates.  A recent report explained that the demand for these scientists has increased by more than 50% since last year.

The buzz that data science has created around the world is worth it. The field of Data Science has the ability to transform your career fully and to shift your career into the swearing field.

WHO CAN BE A DATA SCIENTIST?

The data scientist is the one who can perform many different aspects of data crunching but not necessarily be an expert in any of them, which in short is termed as a ‘jack-of-all-trades’.

The person who wants to become a data scientist must possess mathematical skills, statistical skills, and programming skills and needs to have a detailed understanding of all of them.

This person also needs to have strong business knowledge so that he/she can go through business problems completely and can build strong business strategies for the future.

Only then will you be able to apply your skills effectively in the organization in which you will be employed.

Top companies, as well as startups, are in need of data scientists because of the enormous amount of data flowing in the organization’s databases.

A lot of graduates are looking forward to their careers in the field of data science just because it is one of the highly paid jobs or having a promising future.

But they fail to understand the fact that love for coding, numbers, and algorithms is highly necessary for the ones who need to deal with the big data. It is not everybody’s cup of tea.

It is challenging and interesting at the same time.

Real Review of Realme Buds Air

(Technical Review)

Review By: Soumik Seth (B.Tech, 8th Semester)

Realme launched its first ever truly wireless earbuds in India, Realme Buds Air is priced at just Rs 3,999. It's pricing makes it the most affordable in the market.

Realme Buds Air Design & Build:

The highlighting part of the Realme Buds Air is the design., Realme Buds Air have the same design as Apple AirPods, and it’s really hard not to ignore it.

Some of the highlights are:

Realme Buds Air pretty comfortable

Touch gestures work fine, though you need to work on it

Fit is good, but be careful, aren’t good as in-ear pods

Passive noise isolation is above average, not the best

They pair up quick, have a very stable connection, is fairly loud. The sound isn’t very crisp, it misses out on depth in the sound.

It’s fairly loud, not the crispiest

High-resolution and high bass tracks sound fine

Some issues with streaming platforms

Voice quality is really good

Dual mic 

No problem with calls

Gaming mode with low latency mode is okay

Realme Buds Air are good, and they offer almost everything at this price. Designed decently, the Realme Buds doesn’t score high in all the departments. At 3,999, the Buds Air come with features such as wireless charging, 12nm dynamic bass boost drivers.

It packs in a special wireless R1 chip for connectivity and stability backed by touch gesture controls.

Coming to the major part, the sound quality, here the Realme Buds Air did an average job. It’s good, but certainly not the best. Though Realme Buds Air did good with voice calls without any issue. 

The sound quality is an issue with the Buds Air, but the features it offers makes up for the rest. In case you are looking for some of the crispiest of audio output, you would be disappointed. In all, at Rs 3,999 the Realme Buds Air offer a design design, top-notch features and decent sound quality.

Li-Fi Technology

Now-a-days, internet has become a major

demand people are in search of Wi-Fi hot

spots. Li-fi or Light Fidelity was invented by

professor Harald Hass of university of

Edinburgh. This is the latest technology in

present day communication system which

makes the use of LEDs, Light Emitting

Diodes that helps in the transmission of data

much more faster and flexible than the data

that can be transmitted through Wi-Fi. It is

basically a 5G technology of visible light

communication system which utilizes light

emitting diodes as a medium of high speed

communication in similar manner as Wi-Fi.

Li-Fi is typically implemented using white

LED light bulbs at the downlink transmitter.

The LEDs are used for illumination only on

applying a constant current to them.

However, by fast and subtle variations of the

current, the optical output can be made to

vary at extremely high speeds. This very

property of optical current is used in Li-Fi

technology setup. It’s operation is very

simple as when the LED is on then a logic

“1” is transmitted and when the LED is off

then a logic “0”is transmitted. This so

happens at a very fast rate flickering of LED

which is not visible to the human eye.

Further enhancements can be made in this

method, like using an array of LEDs for

parallel data transmission, or using mixtures

of red, green and blue LEDs to alter the

light’s frequency with each frequency

encoding a different data channel. Such

advancements promise a theoretical speed of

10Gbps – meaning one can download a full

high-definition film in just 30 seconds.

Earlier, the radio waves were used but

they were expensive and less secure.

Infrared, can only be used with low

power as for the sake of eye safety.

Gamma rays cannot be used as they can

prove to be dangerous. Ultraviolet light

is good for place which is free from

humans otherwise can be very harmful

to the humans.

Since visible light has no harmful

effects, it can be safe to use and is also

having a larger bandwidth.

VLC is a data communication medium,

which uses visible light in the range of

400THz to 800THz as optical carrier for

data transmission and illumination.

With a wide use of data transmission these

days, Li-Fi has proved to be more

advantageous than the present day

technology of Wi-Fi. There are many fields

where Wi-Fi and many technologies have

failed but Li-Fi has proved its excellence.

With the increase of cell phone users, the

available bandwidth is insufficient and can

lead to over loaded condition. This problem

can be solved by Li-Fi which uses the

visible spectrum for communication.

Various devices such as Laptops, Mobile

Phones, Tablets and other devices can be

interconnected directly by using Li-Fi. It

gives very high data rates and also provide

security.

This technology doesn’t use the radio

frequency so it can be used in the places

where the technologies like Bluetooth,

Infrared, Wi-Fi etc. are banned. Li-Fi

provides a best replacement for such

technologies.

It has various benefits such as:

1 A very wide spectrum of operation

over the visible range of

electromagnetic spectrum.

2 Extremely high color fidelity.

3 Secure access.

4 Easy terminal management.

5 Instant start up time

So, in a nutshell Li-Fi technology is far

better than the current technology and can

be used in those areas where other

technologies fail.

Li-Fi can achieve 1000 times the data

density of Wi-Fi, as visible light can be well

contained in the light illumination but in

case of RF it suffers from interference.

A very high speed of data access can be

achieved from Li-Fi as it is free from

interference and also is having a very large

bandwidth.

With the ongoing increase in the cellular

networks, the newest technology of Li-Fi

has proven to be a milestone in

communication systems. It uses the visible

spectrum of light which is far better than the

RF as it is prone to interference. With the

use of LEDs the information can be

transmitted at very high rates with just the

simple turning on and off of the LEDs. This

technology is not only free to use but also

provides a safe and secure access.

Real Review of Realme Watch

Review By: Soumik Seth (B.Tech, 8th Semester)

This is my first smart watch. I used to wear analog watches. Then i decided to try something new, something advanced. So i typed smart watches on google. There were so many options from many different companies. But this item took all my attention. I wanted to know more about it so i clicked on the link of its official page. The very first thing took my attention was the design itself. It was looking great specially the watch with the green strap. I am not a fan of chain watches. So I was okay with the rubber type material strap. All the specs seemed good to me, so i decided to buy. It cost my 4000 Indian rupees. And after 5 days I received the package. I was very excited for it.

Things I liked about the watch:

As soon as I unboxed the product, I was amazed by the build quality of it. It has a magnificent, premium build, that i never expected from this price point. It also has some features like Heart rate monitoring, sleep pattern tracking, steps counting and so on. The most exciting feature for me was its watch dial faces. there are so many watch faces, as its like I am wearing a new watch everyday. The watch itself is water resistant. i can use it during rain. And the battery life is also good, as it lasts around 7 days. I am okay with the battery life. These are the things I liked about the watch.

Things I did not like:

Some features like in-built speakers and microphone are missing .

My Opinion:

Considering the price its a Win-Win for me. You should give it a try if you love to try on new gadgets.

Robotics

Robotics is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep everyone safe. Robotics draws on the achievement of information engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and others.

Robotics develops machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots can be used in many situations and for lots of purposes, but today many are used in dangerous environments (including inspection of radioactive materials, bomb detection and deactivation), manufacturing processes, or where humans cannot survive (e.g. in space, underwater, in high heat, and clean up and containment of hazardous materials and radiation). Robots can take on any form but some are made to resemble humans in appearance. This is said to help in the acceptance of a robot in certain replicative behaviors usually performed by people. Such robots attempt to replicate walking, lifting, speech, cognition, or any other human activity. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature, contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics.

The concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but research into the functionality and potential uses of robots did not grow substantially until the 20th century. Throughout history, it has been frequently assumed by various scholars, inventors, engineers, and technicians that robots will one day be able to mimic human behavior and manage tasks in a human-like fashion. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue; researching, designing, and building new robots serve various practical purposes, whether domestically, commercially, or militarily. Many robots are built to do jobs that are hazardous to people, such as defusing bombs, finding survivors in unstable ruins, and exploring mines and shipwrecks. Robotics is also used in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) as a teaching aid.The advent of nanorobots, microscopic robots that can be injected into the human body, could revolutionize medicine and human health.

Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. This field overlaps with computer engineering, computer science (especially artificial intelligence), electronics, mechatronics, nanotechnology and bioengineering.

Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a continuously growing concept with the advancements of ubiquitous computing, wireless sensor networks, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. IoT connects heterogeneous physical devices and enables communication among them over the Internet via uniquely addressable identifiers. This paper delivers an overview of IoT in the context of the architecture and related technologies. However, IoT does not adhere to a universal architecture. Hence, it describes widely accepted architectural designs, further elaborated with the corresponding communication protocols and standards. Moreover, highly prevalent protocols and standards are summarized, so that the reader can gain an overall view of IoT. Furthermore, it describes some identified solutions and future directions towards overcoming the challenges present in the IoT paradigm. Finally, the paper concludes with some applications of IoT, in order to realize the feasibility of IoT concept in real-world scenarios.

The architecture of IoT system is typically divided on a layering basis, and many researchers have proposed their models to fulfill certain needs. Some common architectures include three-layer, SOA-based, middleware based, and five-layer. For this paper, a more conventional architecture is adopted and discussed, namely three-layer architecture, along with its connection to smart buildings. Note that in network layer of IoT, there are different sub-layers inside, and in general the protocols usually refer to the higher layers inside the network layer.
