Understanding complexity 👉 The P versus NP problem may be understood by looking at a situation we have encountered recently, which albeit grim is very illustrative. 👉 Consider the problem of vacant hospital beds to which patients need to be assigned — let there be, say, 100 beds available, and these should be matched with demands from 250 patients. In assigning beds to patients, several factors need to be considered, such as the actual state of the patient — whether they really need the bed, the distance that needs to be covered (whether it is the bed that is closest to the needy patient), no two patients must be allotted the same bed, and no beds must go vacant, etc. Now, making a list “efficiently”, that is, in a short time, may be a daunting task. But if some intelligent supervisor writes down such a list allotting the hundred beds to a hundred patients, it can be checked by a computer quickly and efficiently. Thus, verifying a “yes instance”, as the computer scientists call it, is a task that is much easier than finding a solution. 👉 Further, the time that is needed for solving or verifying a yes instance of the problem of allotting hospital beds grows with the number of variables — in this case the number of beds and patients. This is an instance of a problem that would be in the NP category, or nondeterministic polynomial time algorithms. The time needed for verifying a yes instance of problem grows as a constant power of the number of patients, and the verification is said to run in polynomial time. 👉 This problem is the holy grail of computational complexity theory!

IIT Bombay faculty takes a shot at a long-standing problem in computer science 👉 What differentiates humans from computers? Is it only a matter of time before efficient algorithms enable a computer to perform the most creative tasks, even to the extent of proving mathematical theorems — an accomplishment that is considered the acme of human contribution to progress in Mathematics? Or is there an inherent limit to what even a super computer can do? 👉 A problem in Computer Science holds the key to the above questions. 👉  The problem is the P versus NP question. This is a problem that classifies computing problems into classes according to the time and resources that will be used up in tackling them and forms the cornerstone problem of computational complexity.

Why do Logic-Level MOSFETs Require Gate Driver IC? 👉 A gate driver IC is normally used when the controller section is unable to provide sufficient current to drive the MOSFET’s gate capacitance. Sometimes, even if you use a logic level MOSFET, you might still need a driver to rapidly charge and discharge the gate capacitance to minimise switching losses. 👉 The switching of a MOSFET generates heat in the device. The gate driver takes power from the main input supply and requires only a small current of the controller, thus making the whole system cooler. 👉 A gate driver allows you to turn on and off the MOSFET at a faster rate more efficiently. 👉 MAX767 and LTC1157 are examples of gate driver ICs with Vcc up to 5V.

This is how time is displayed using the color code..

This clock is shaped like a big resistor and shows the time by lighting up the bands with the equivalent resistor color code. Each resistor contains a RGB LED..

Ohm Clock A clock that shows the time using the resistor color code. With a built-in auto-ranging ohm meter, you can set the time with a resistor. The clock is built around a ATtiny1614 microprocessor. It uses a DS1307 RTC (Real Time Clock) to keep the time even when the clock is not powered. Two tactile buttons are used to manually set the time. The clock also includes a auto-ranging ohm meter so that you can set the time using a resistor.

Coca-Cola Puts Its First Paper Bottle to the Test.. Although the bottle still has a plastic lid, it's a step forward. Coca-Cola has a plastic problem. The firm was ranked the world's number one plastic polluter by the charity 'Break Free From Plastic' in its annual survey. Now, it seems the firm is trying to do something about its less-than-ideal plastic record. It is introducing its first-ever paper bottle. As part of these initiatives, Coca-Cola has been working with partner Paboco to explore the concept of a paper bottle.
