AI WORKSHOP
Our college has a
tremendous support of our Alumni. One of the contributions of 1994 Alumni batch
is the “NEXTGEN LAB” which helps students to enrich their knowledge in the
field of IOT, AI, ROBOTICS . A workshop on “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE” for a
count of 51 students of Third and Final year students is being conducted at the
Lab from 30/10/19 and it will continue till 3/10/19. Experts from ‘SMARTBRIDGE”
came up a long way from Bangalore to train the Students. The topics covered
were based on cloud computing, AI. And for their better understanding students
have been split into different teams. The sessions are very useful for the
students in their projects and for their future studies. Students were taught to create a new online assistant
for our college website.
GENERAL ARTICLE
Ballpoint pen is a pen that has, as its
name says, ball at its point which rotates when dragged across the writing
surface and leaves behind ink that comes from the reservoir of the pen. Ball at
the point can be of different diameter and can be made of brass, steel, or
tungsten carbide. It is today the most widespread writing instrument and has
literally changed the way we write.
Trying to invent a pen which can write
on leather, a tanner John J. Loud invented the first ballpoint pen and patented
it in 1888 in America. This pen had a small steel ball which was placed so it
could not fall out nor fall in but it still could rotate freely. This invention
was not commercially viable and could not be used for writing. Because of that
patent lapsed in time.
After that, many tried to improve on the
design but did not deliver the ink evenly or overflow and clog the pint. In the
early 20th century, László BÃró, a Hungarian newspaper editor, tried to make a
pen that would dry quickly and without smudges. He noticed that ink used in
newspaper printing dried quickly so he and his brother György, who was a
chemist, started experimenting on a workable pen. They combined viscous ink and
ball-socket mechanism to make a ballpoint pen that would not allow for an ink
to dry out in pen but it would still leave the mark behind when used. The first
working ballpoint pen was presented at Budapest International Fair in 1931.
They filed for patents in France and Britain in 1938. In 1941 BÃró brothers and
a their friend, Juan Jorge Meyne fled to Argentina and opened there BÃró Pens
of Argentina - factory that made ballpoint pens and sold them in Argentina as
“Birome”. This ballpoint pen was licensed and made in Britain as a “Biro” for
RAF aircrews which used it at high altitudes (fountain pens used to leak ink
when used too high).
After the Second World War, others tried
to sell their ballpoint pens but with limited success. Milton Reynolds saw a
ballpoint pen when he was on a business trip to Buenos Aires in 1945 and, when
he returned to America, redesigned it so he could obtain an American patent.
His ballpoint pen, manufactured in his Reynolds International Pen Company and
called “Reynolds Rocket” was the first commercially successful ballpoint pen.
It was sold under the ad that said that it won’t need refilling for 15 years.
Gimbels department store in New York City sold few thousand ballpoint pens just
in one week. Eversharp Co., a maker of mechanical pencils, also made their own
pen and started selling it. Britain saw its first commercially successful
ballpoint pen in the same year made by Miles Martin Pen Company. Market soon
became saturated and Reynolds’ company folded in early 1950s.
At the same time, Paper Mate pens
started manufacturing and distributing their own pens in Canada by changing to
their new ink formulas. Also, Parker Pens released The Jotter which used
tungsten-carbide textured ball in its point and was cheaper which resulted in
several millions sold pens in just a first year. Ballpoint pens started to take
over the world. But that was a bad time for Eversharp Co. whose pen division
was sold to Parker Pens and later folded completely. ‘50s were also time when
Marcel Bich (later shortened his name to Bic) licensed ballpoint pen from BÃró
and started manufacturing his pens according to BÃró’s design. His ballpoint
pens are now recognized across the world.
DO YOU KNOW???
1. You can have four to seven dreams in one night : On average you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night
2. It isn’t always the clothing protecting the wearer from the environment. Sometimes it protects the environment from the wearer such as doctors wearing surgical scrubs in an operating theater!
3. Scientists have used the study of lice ! Yes, lice – to create theories about when clothing was first developed. Body lice live in clothing and that species split off from head lice around 100,000 years ago.
4. They're called love teeth in korean : In English, the name wisdom tooth conveys the idea that third molars come in later than other teeth, at a time when you’re older and (hopefully) wiser. Other languages don’t follow the same convention. In Korean, for example, the poetic name for third molars translates to “love teeth,” because it's around this time (late teens and early 20s) that one typically experiences their first love. The Japanese language also has a creative word for it: oyashirazu, or “unknown to parents,” since most people have already moved away from home by the time their wisdom teeth come in. Cool!

Result:
=> Since, given that there is no mice left in the Box 4 after Cat eats X mice from it.
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 0
=> But from last equation, it can be seen that,
Number of mice left = 984 – 41X
=> Therefore, 984 – 41X = 0
=> Upon solving, X = 24

The answers for the last week is:
1. Box 1:
=> Number of mice in the box
initially = 41 (given)
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 41 – X
Box 2:
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 41 – X
Box 2:
=> Number of mice in the box
initially = 2(41 – X) = 82 – 2X
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 82 – 2X – X = 82 – 3X
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 82 – 2X – X = 82 – 3X
Box 3:
=> Number of mice in the box
initially = 3(82 – 3X) = 246 – 9X
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 246 – 9X – X = 246 – 10X
Box 4:
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 246 – 9X – X = 246 – 10X
Box 4:
=> Number of mice in the box
initially = 4(246 – 10X) = 984 – 40X
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 984 – 40X – X = 984 – 41X
=> Number of mice Cat eats = X (given)
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 984 – 40X – X = 984 – 41X
Result:
=> Since, given that there is no mice left in the Box 4 after Cat eats X mice from it.
=> Therefore, Number of mice left = 0
=> But from last equation, it can be seen that,
Number of mice left = 984 – 41X
=> Therefore, 984 – 41X = 0
=> Upon solving, X = 24
Therefore,
the cat eats 24 mice each time.
2. One person telling to 2 that means
he takes 2.5 min to 1 person....
now, 1 is telling to another 2 this two telling another 2 person and so on....
that means chain is 1 to 2, 2to 4, 4to 8, 8 to 16...
means 2 48 16....512.
upto this this will take 45 min now these person means 256 telling only 1 the total person will be 768 & 45 + 2.5 = 47.5 min
now, 1 is telling to another 2 this two telling another 2 person and so on....
that means chain is 1 to 2, 2to 4, 4to 8, 8 to 16...
means 2 48 16....512.
upto this this will take 45 min now these person means 256 telling only 1 the total person will be 768 & 45 + 2.5 = 47.5 min
