Li-Fi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission. It was introduced by Professor Harald Haas in 2011 as a faster and more secure alternative to Wi-Fi. Li-Fi uses visible light communication and is capable of transmission speeds over 100 times faster than Wi-Fi. It provides several advantages over Wi-Fi such as higher speed, more bandwidth availability, more secure communication, and energy efficiency. While Li-Fi remains a promising technology, it faces limitations including inability to pass through opaque objects and potential external light interference.
Li-Fi is a technology that uses light from LED bulbs to transmit data wirelessly. It was pioneered in the 1990s but is gaining more attention as an alternative to Wi-Fi due to the scarce and congested radio spectrum. Li-Fi works by varying the intensity of light from an LED bulb faster than what the human eye can detect to transmit digital data. It has applications in areas like hospitals, aircraft, and underwater communications where radio signals don't work well. However, it also has limitations since the signals cannot pass through walls and require line of sight between the light source and receiver.
A business and brand designed for the emerging towns and cities of India, Talwalkars HI FI is more than a chain of gyms. They are community fitness centres built to inspire millions of Indians to lead healthier lifestyles.
This document discusses an ultra compact high fidelity audio system that provides high performance sound in a small size, offering high quality hi-fi audio without taking up much space. It focuses on an audio solution that is compact yet able to deliver true high fidelity sound quality.
Microphones are transducers that convert sound energy into electrical signals. There are two main types: dynamic and condenser microphones. Dynamic microphones have a simple design without needing power, making them durable for high volumes. Condenser microphones require power but produce stronger signals and are more sensitive, suited for subtle sounds. Microphone directionality depends on their polar pattern, being either omnidirectional, unidirectional, or bidirectional in capturing sound from different angles.
The document discusses the potential for using visible light communication (LiFi) as an alternative to traditional radio frequency wireless communication technologies. It notes that the 1.4 million existing cellular base stations use significant energy with low efficiency, while the radio frequency spectrum is limited and issues like availability and security exist. LiFi uses high-speed pulses of light for wireless transmission and has advantages like large available spectrum, high efficiency when combined with LED lights, availability anywhere light exists, and improved security since light does not pass through walls. While it has limitations like needing line of sight and potential external light interference, it has been proven in demonstrations and could see applications like in hospitals, traffic lights, and aircraft once costs decrease.
Wi-Fi stands for "Wireless Fidelity" and uses radio waves to create wireless network connectivity. The wireless adapter creates a "hotspot" that produces these radio waves. There are different variants of Wi-Fi that use different frequencies and have different maximum speeds. Li-Fi is a new visible light communications system using common LED lights to transfer data at speeds over 225Gb/s, which is much faster than the fastest recorded Wi-Fi speed of 100Gb/s. Li-Fi uses visible light instead of radio frequencies to transmit data wirelessly.
This document summarizes different types of microphones and loudspeakers used in a PA system for an auditorium. It describes 6 types of microphones - carbon, crystal, dynamic, condenser, ribbon, and wireless microphones. It then explains different types of loudspeakers - dynamic, cabinet, column, high fidelity, woofers, tweeters, and horn loudspeakers. It also discusses crossovers and impedance. The document provides details on the construction and working of each type of microphone and loudspeaker.
1. LI-FI is a technology that transmits data through illumination by using LED light bulbs that vary in intensity faster than the human eye can perceive.
2. Professor Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh is widely recognized as inventing LI-FI. Initial research on visible light communication was funded from 2010-2012.
3. LI-FI provides an alternative to radio frequency wireless technologies by using the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which has not been fully utilized and has advantages of being more secure, having higher capacity, and avoiding issues with limited radio spectrum availability.
Li-Fi is a visible light communication system that uses light from LED lights to deliver high-speed wireless communication, similar to Wi-Fi. It was coined in 2011 by Professor Harald Haas. Data is transmitted by switching the LEDs on and off very quickly in a binary code. The main components are a high brightness white LED to transmit and a silicon photodiode to receive. Li-Fi provides advantages over radio-based networks like higher speed, greater capacity, and more security. Potential applications include use in vehicles, aircraft, hospitals and traffic lights.
Offline bruteforce attack on WiFi Protected Setup0xcite
This document discusses offline brute force attacks on WiFi Protected Setup (WPS). It describes how WPS uses an 8-digit PIN code that can be cracked through brute force attacks. It also details the "Pixie Dust" attack method, which recovers the pseudorandom number generator state used by WPS to determine the encryption keys, allowing offline cracking of the PIN and recovery of the WiFi passphrase. The document warns that many access points still have vulnerable WPS implementations and recommends disabling WPS to prevent such attacks.
LiFi technology uses visible light communication to transmit data wirelessly. It was coined and commercialized by Professor Dr. Harald Haas. Speed tests have reached 1.6 Gbit/s and transmission rates continue increasing. LiFi will be needed to handle the massive amounts of data from billions of IoT devices expected by 2020. It works by modulating the light from LED bulbs for transmission. Potential applications include medical, aviation, smart lighting and augmented reality. Advantages are availability, efficiency, security and low cost, but disadvantages are needing line of sight and not penetrating walls. More research is still needed but LiFi shows promise for the future of wireless connectivity.
This document discusses the coexistence of WiFi and LiFi networks towards 5G. It provides an overview of WiFi and LiFi technologies, comparing their characteristics. Challenges of incorporating both include how user devices connect to the network, supporting user mobility, and accommodating multiple users. The document proposes a LiFi transceiver model and evaluates performance of indoor and outdoor links. It compares using only WiFi, a hybrid WiFi-LiFi system, and an aggregate system. Coexistence of LiFi and WiFi is promising for applications like healthcare and IoT, with opportunities for further research on higher data rates, CSMA/CA and OFDMA coexistence, and mobility enhancements.
Motion capture is the process of recording human, animal, or object movement and translating it into a digital 3D model. Rotoscoping, invented in 1915, is considered an early form of motion capture. There are three main types: mechanical, optical, and magnetic. Optical motion capture uses multiple synchronized cameras and markers to track movement. It provides high quality but is expensive and post processing intensive. Magnetic motion capture uses sensors to track movement within a limited range without occlusion issues. Motion capture finds applications in video games, films, animation, education, and biomechanical analysis by enabling realistic animation of characters.

To create podcasts, you need a computer, podcasting software, and an Internet connection. You can then distribute podcasts and listen to them on devices like an iPod or smartphone. MP3 is an audio format used for digital music that compresses files while maintaining good sound quality. The iPod is a portable media player created by Apple to hold digital music and video files that can be synced from iTunes software on computers.

The audio interface is the hub of the modern recording studio. From humble home studios to massive media production houses, audio interfaces serve the vital function of passing audio from the outside world into your computer and back again. For many artists and engineers, the audio interface is the single most important piece of hardware, providing microphone preamplifiers, direct instrument inputs, digital converters, metering, headphone distribution, even digital signal processing (DSP), all in one unit. In more sophisticated setups, high-channel-count audio interfaces completely replace the role of traditional recording consoles.
FireWire Audio Interfaces
There are two types of FireWire found on audio interfaces: the older FireWire 400, which is the same speed as USB 2.0, and FireWire 800, which is almost twice as fast. For years, FireWire was the standard for high-speed audio interfaces and was found almost exclusively on Mac computers. Most modern computers connect to FireWire audio interfaces via FireWire to Thunderbolt adapters. FireWire delivers ample performance for most project studio needs, and FireWire audio interfaces have the benefit of being extremely affordable while providing high channel counts.
PCIe Audio Interface
PCIe audio interfaces boast specifications in line with Thunderbolt audio interfaces but require PCIe slots for installation. PCIe systems - such as Avid Pro Tools | HDX and Apogee Symphony - are typically intended for high-volume professional audio-production applications.
USB Audio Interfaces
While you might encounter an old USB 1.1 audio interface, USB 2.0 is the most common connection type on the market, providing moderate speed and near universal compatibility on Mac and Windows PCs. To overcome latency issues, many USB audio interfaces include \"latency-free\" monitoring options, which range from analog routing options that let you simply monitor the live input to more advanced onboard digital mixers that may even include DSP effects/processing. USB 3.0 is over 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and supports higher track counts with far less latency. Class-compliant USB audio interfaces, such as the Antelope Audio Orion 32, can provide up to 24 channels of iPad recording via the Apple Camera Connection Kit.
