Organic Light Emitting Diode works on the same principle as that of a Light emitting Diode which is Electroluminescence.
Which is a result of radiative recombination of Electrons and holes in any Semiconductor Material. These organic LEDs can be classified on several basis such as on the basis of matrix control, on the basis of type of materials used, on the basis of direction in which light exits the surface of OLED,And there several other type of OLEDs such as foldable OLED, Transparent OLED etc.
There are also many methods of manufacturing OLEDs most used of which are inkjet printing and vapor phase deposition etc.
Then finally comes the applications and advantages of this technique. As like LEDs, OLEDs also have a wide area of applications such as in VDUs, PDAs, handheld devices (Like mobile Phones, handheld Gaming consoles), and its future uses include wearable electronics. But as the coin have 2 faces so this technique also have some drawbacks like it is not waterproof and few more which include life time of the device and others.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. Smart Windows are windows which use a glazing
material to control the amount of light that is allowed
to pass through the glass panes.
The glazing material is often called “switchable
glazing”.
These materials change their optical behaviour with
application of electrical voltage.
4.
5. Electrochromic windows centred around special
materials that have electrochromic properties .
‘Electrochromic’ describes materials that can
change color when energized by an electrical
current.
Electrochromic windows darken when voltage is
added and are transparent when voltage is taken
away.
6.
7. The basic working principle involves lithium ions
(positively charged lithium atoms—with missing
electrons) that migrate back and forth between the
two electrodes through the separator.
When the glass is clear, the lithium ions reside in the
innermost electrode.
When a small voltage is applied to the electrodes,
the ions migrate through the separator to the
outermost electrode , where they scatter away most
of the incoming light and turn the glass opaque.
8. They remain there all by themselves until the
voltage is reversed, causing them to move back so
the glass turns transparent once again.
9. SPD window consists of several layers:
Two panels of glass or plastic.
Conductive material - used to coat the panes of
glass.
Suspended particle devices - millions of these black
particles are placed between the two panes of glass.
Liquid suspension or film - allows the particles to
float freely between the glass.
Control device - automatic or manual.
10.
11. In suspended particle devices (SPD), a thin film
laminate of rod-like particles suspended in a fluid is
placed between two glass or plastic layers, or
attached to one layer.
When the power supply is switched on, the rod
shaped suspended particle molecules align, light
passes through and the SPD Smart Glass panel
clears.
12. When the power supply is switched off the rod
shaped suspended particle molecules are randomly
oriented blocking light and the glass panel looks
dark (opaque).
The SPD Smart Glass when becomes dark can
blocking up to 99.4% of light. SPD Smart Glass
protect from damaging UV when on or off.
13. Polymer dispersed liquid crystal is simply micro
droplets of liquid crystals encapsulated in a polymer.
The liquid mix of polymer and liquid crystals is
placed between two layers of glass that includes a
thin layer of a transparent, conductive material.
With no applied voltage, the liquid crystal
molecules remain in a randomized configuration
that refracts the light that enters the mixture,
making it appear opaque.
14. This results in the translucent,
"milky white" appearance.
.
15. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, the
electric field formed between the two transparent
electrodes on the glass.
The molecules line up the direction of the electric
field, allowing light to pass through what is now
essentially a transparent surface.
The degree of transparency can be controlled by the
applied voltage.
16.

18. control of light.
Energy Saving.
Ambient temperature control.
Protecting skin from damaging UV rays.
Low working voltage.
