How technology has improved art

07/21/2017 By Terry Ochoa Off

Technology has taken art to a whole new level in the past few years. Long gone are the days when to come up with a painting you had to use a simple pencil and paper. The use of pencil and paper is still appreciated even today, but there are several changes that have been brought about by technology. Technology has improved the quality of the art that is produced today, and you can see changes that art has brought about. The murals plus art is a good example of the use of art in technology. Here are several ways in which the use of technology has improved art.

Improvement of art through technology

Laser printing

Laser printing is one of the most breakthroughs when it comes to art in the modern day. Laser printing technology has made it easy to do commercial printing, and you can get print sizes done in masses. The quality of the print is now better with laser technology. You will notice the difference between the ordinary inks printings used in the past just by a glance. One thing that you can notice about laser technology is the fact that it produces a clean print and also the quality of color is very rich.

Improvement in picture quality

One thing we must appreciate is the fact that technology has now changed the quality of pictures that are produced today. We now have high-quality cameras with good resolution that can produce quality images. Apart from the good cameras, we now have picture filters and software that can change the look of the picture. It is now possible to use filters for images and achieve the kind of look that you want.

Quality and variety of paints

With the growth of technology, we now have a variety of paints and better quality of paints. It is now possible to get the type of paint that you want for your needs. It is even interesting to note that we now have edible paints that have even brought the food and art industry together. With good paints, it now possible to come up with better quality art.

Editing software

We now have editing software that has brought art to a whole new level. The editing software has made the improvement the way pictures, and art look and this has made the quality of pictures and art better. There is a variety of editing software available depending on the user that you want.…

Hardware Solutions To The Load Measurement Industry

05/19/2017 By Terry Ochoa Off

The load measurement industry is one that uses software and devices to measure load or force. The most common way of doing so is using a device containing a load cell. A load cell is an energy-converting device that uses electronic signals to measure the force being measured according to specific calculations and proportions. Load cells are of various categories and are used for a variety of purposes. Most hardware solutions to the load measurement industry use one or other type of such load cells measurement device.

Some devices that are used for measuring loads are laboratory balances, industrial and platform scales, universal testing machines used across the world, and many more. These include small instruments needed for precise measurement requiring detailed calibration and tuning. Even large-scale industrial level machinery requires load measurement in different forms.

Hardware solutions

Some common hardware solutions include:

Hydraulic load weighing

This is used for tank and bin weighing as well as for use in outdoor environments. It is a relatively expensive technology and is thus not used by everyone easily.

Regulating balancing pressure

This is a hardware solution where air pressure is used in conjunction with load cells to regulate pressure and thereby load.

Geomechanical applications

This is a solution using vibrating wire load cells which have low amounts of drift.

Dynamic loading conditions

When there is continuous or frequent measurements of force required, devices using the piezoelectric load cells are used. This kind of hardware is also useful where a wide range of measurement is required.

Using strain gauge load cells

The most common type of devices used for measuring load use strain gauge load cells. These are useful, malleable and work in some different ways and can be adapted to multiple solutions. Due to its ease of use and longevity, these devices also tend to be more cost-effective than other hardware solutions in the market. These devices also tend to be more cost-effective than other hardware solutions in the market.

Common issues

While there are several hardware solutions for the load measurement industry, there are also several issues that come up. While these are not consistent, it has to be understood that there is no such thing as a faultless device or technology. Some problems that the load measurement industry deals with are:

Mechanical mounting issues
Overload and signal loss
Wiring issues
Electrical damage
Nonlinearity

Tips on choosing a good drone

04/26/2017 By Terry Ochoa Off

In the modern day, drones come in various types and sizes. Due to the advancement in technology, it is now possible to get the drone of your dreams. Today, drones are not gadgets used for luxury; we now have drones that are used for research and scientific purposes. When looking for a drone, you will be faced with various options, and it is important to determine what you are looking for. Before you settle for any drone, take time and consider factors like the price, features, use and other related aspects.

How to choose a drone

Your level of skill

Before choosing a drone, it is important to determine your level of skill. Beginners might need to consider a drone that is easy to operate. You will be surprised to know that there are advanced drones that will require you to have some level of skill and experience in operating. However, if you are a beginner, some drones are easy to operate. Of course, the basic drones have fewer features but as you continue learning you can go for a more advanced drone.

Personal needs

Everyone who buys a drone buys it for some reasons. It is important to determine your personal needs before you choose the drone that you want. If your aim is to take pictures of the high buildings, then consider buying a drone that has a camera. Drones have different features, and you need to consider a drone that has features that you will need.

Method of control

Of course, once you buy a drone you will need to control it when it is up in the sky. There are various ways of controlling drones, and you need to find one that is best for you. Most of the drones that we have to do can be controlled using smartphones. It all depend on the type of technology that you want to use.

Where will you fly it?

The place where you will fly your drone can also have an influence on the type of drone that you choose. We have drones that are meant for indoor flying, and they are small. On the other hand, we also have drones that are meant for outdoor flying. Make this important decision before you buy a drone.…
