Tile Technology

                 Tile is an application and hardware device available for the iOS and Android platforms. The application allows users to measure distance to and consequently helps locating lost items by using Bluetooth 4.0 technology to locate "Tile" devices attached to the lost items.Tile operates via Bluetooth.
                 Bluetooth is most effective at the 30 ft range, depending on the environment. Tile's Bluetooth range can extend up to 100 ft.Battery Duration & Lifetime of Tile. The quality components in Tile will run for 1 year. You don't need to charge Tile or replace the battery. Simply after 1 year, we can help you recycle your old Tiles and replace them with the latest model.

Laser

                                   In my opinion, the laser technology comes from focusing photons of lights on a single spot and such approach makes it more powerful than a beam of light. In addition, I heard many times that it is dangerous to point out a laser dot in someone’s eye.
                                   Furthermore, as we learned about LEDs and that recently blue LED got invented, now that I think about it, I assume I have never seen a blue laser, although I’ve seen red laser and in few cases green laser. Therefore, I assume lasers and LEDs must have a very similar structure for that reason. additional question: why blue laser was the last one to be invented, if it got invented, and is it similar to LED concept and reason? I also assume practically it is harder to create green laser comparing to red ones, since, red light laser devices are much more and cheaper comparing to green ones.

   Applications;;

Laser technology must have a various application fields, in almost any of the science field you may observe laser technology applications and devices. In the following I mention the applications of such technology as far as I encountered, observed, used, or read about:
Computer devices such as laser mouse, laser presentation, CD ROMs and DVD ROMs
Astronomy and communication applications
Medicine, surgery, and health
War machines, guns and tanks
Cutting matters in metallurgy industry and related industries
Robotics, especially in image processing and calculating distances

Li Fi

                LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission.

                LiFi is designed to use LED light bulbs similar to those currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and offices. However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission. LiFi data is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.

               LiFi's early developmental models were capable of 150 megabits-per-second (Mbps). Some commercial kits enabling that speed have been released. In the lab, with stronger LEDs and different technology, researchers have enabled 10 gigabits-per-second (Gbps), which is faster than 802.11ad.

Benefits of LiFi:

Higher speeds than Wi-Fi.
10000 times the frequency spectrum of radio.
More secure because data cannot be intercepted without a clear line of sight.
Prevents piggybacking.
Eliminates neighboring network interference.
Unimpeded by radio interference.
Does not create interference in sensitive electronics, making it better for use in environments like hospitals and aircraft.

Virtual Box

                 VirtualBox is a cross-platform virtualization application. What does that mean? For one thing, it installs on your existing Intel or AMD-based computers, whether they are running Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris operating systems. Secondly, it extends the capabilities of your existing computer so that it can run multiple operating systems (inside multiple virtual machines) at the same time. So, for example, you can run Windows and Linux on your Mac, run Windows Server 2008 on your Linux server, run Linux on your Windows PC, and so on, all alongside your existing applications. You can install and run as many virtual machines as you like -- the only practical limits are disk space and memory.

               VirtualBox is deceptively simple yet also very powerful. It can run everywhere from small embedded systems or desktop class machines all the way up to datacenter deployments and even Cloud environments.

 1.  Running multiple operating systems simultaneously. VirtualBox allows you to run more than one operating system at a time. This way, you can run software written for one operating system on another (for example, Windows software on Linux or a Mac) without having to reboot to use it. Since you can configure what kinds of "virtual" hardware should be presented to each such operating system, you can install an old operating system such as DOS or OS/2 even if your real computer's hardware is no longer supported by that operating system.

2.   Easier software installations. Software vendors can use virtual machines to ship entire software configurations. For example, installing a complete mail server solution on a real machine can be a tedious task. With VirtualBox, such a complex setup (then often called an "appliance") can be packed into a virtual machine. Installing and running a mail server becomes as easy as importing such an appliance into VirtualBox.

Virtual Keyboard

                      A virtual keyboard is a computer keyboard that a user operates by typing on or within a wireless- or optical-detectable surface or area rather than by depressing physical keys. Such a system can enable the user of a small handheld device, such as a cellular telephone or a PDA (personal digital assistant) to have full keyboard capability.

                     In one technology, the keyboard is projected optically on a flat surface and, as the user touches the image of a key, the optical device detects the stroke and sends it to the computer. In another technology, the keyboard is projected on an area and selected keys are transmitted as wireless signals using the short-range Bluetooth technology. Theoretically, with either approach, the keyboard could even be projected in space and the user could type by moving fingers through the air.

                  The term virtual keyboard is sometimes used to mean a soft keyboard , which appears on a display screen as an image map . In some cases, a software-based keyboard can be customized. Depending on the host system and specifc software, the user (who may be someone unable to use a regular keyboard) can use a touch screen or a mouse to select the keys.

Bullet Train

                  A streamlined body: To achieve speeds of 320 kilometers per hour (200 miles per hour) and more, the trains needed to be as aerodynamic (to cause as little wind resistance) as possible. That is why the front cars of the Shinkansen trains are tapered like the nose of an airplane.

                  Minimizing vibration: When trains reach high speeds, the wheels vibrate on the rails. If this vibration reaches the passenger compartments, it can make them fall apart. To prevent this, the passenger compartments ride on top of flatcars. These are fitted with an air spring that uses compressed air to absorb the wheel vibration so that it does not reach the passenger compartments
.
                 Modern tracks: Until the Shinkansen was built, Japan did not have the wide-gauge (1,435 millimeters wide) railway tracks that were the standard in the rest of the world. Instead, Japanese trains ran on narrow-gauge tracks (1,067 millimeters wide). Most people felt that wide-gauge railway tracks were necessary to move large numbers of people and large volumes of goods, so wide-gauge tracks were built for the Shinkansen. And to allow the trains to go as fast as possible, Shinkansen tracks have no sharp curves. Also, Shinkansen tracks never cross other railway lines on the same level, so the trains never have to stop and wait for other trains to pass.

Fastest Car

                    Although we have countless ways to measure a car’s performance, we’re, of course, going to go for the top speed.
                  This is a top 10 of the Fastest Cars In The World as of the end of 2015 and mid 2015 based solely on the top speed a production car can reach.
                   The problem with finding the world’s fastest production car is the fact that it is a “production car” because there’s a very thin line from in-line car to super-race-car.
                The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a faster, more powerful version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Production is limited to 30 units. The Super Sport has increased engine power of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp), a torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lbf·ft), and a revised aerodynamic package.The Super Sport has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car on the market although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegra.
That means no SSC Tuatara, at least not yet, but it does merit a mention in this ranking.                                                           Top Speed 270 mph/ 435 kph.
