Superb movie

Recently I saw the film “Jab we met”. Awesome! The characters are so realistic. The chemistry between Karina and Shahid is superb. The story goes this way. A rich guy looses his father, his business and is in great trouble. Out of frustration he just runs away from his city. On his way he meets a care free girl Geet and they make their journey towards Geet’s house. Geet’s parents make arrangement for her wedding and she runs away from her home to meet her lover with the help of this guy. After leaving her in the place of her lover, he returns to his job and with the help of the things he learned from her he turns out very successful. In the mean time Geet’s parents comes in search of her. He is shocked to learn that geet has not turned home for a long time and goes in search of her.
Rest of the story in next post!

GPS

GPS, the talk of the town, means Global positioning system. It helps to identify a person uniquely around the globe. GPS consist of about 24 satellites. These satellites scan the globe around the clock. What we are more worried about is the GPS receiver. GPS receiver will be like our cell phone .It can communicate with the satellite any time. The whole architecture is designed in such a way that at any given point of time the receiver will be able to communicate to at lest 3 satellites. This process is known as Trilation. Thus the accuracy of locating a person heavily depends upon the no: of satellites that it can communicate with.

Can we make a Mobile phone for deaf?

Yesterday i met my doctor and he was telling me about his experience with his neighbour... His neighbour never uses a mobile because for a simple reason that he is could not speak or hear... One fine day he did not return home on time... His family members were terrified.They waited ..(as they could do only that for the time being) with lots of hope and prayers... At last my doctor took his car and went in search of him... luckily he found him.. When asked about the reason for his delay he told that his bus broke down on the way and he was looted.. so with no money in hand the only option he could think at that moment was to walk... and he did that...

That really made me think... Being Engineers, are we not responsible to bring the technology available down to the public and needy? Of course many ideas come up, but almost all of them end up in our labs when the project exhibition gets over...

Big companies who manufacture mobile phones and who provide networks for communication must join hands to make things possible and feasible..A mobile phone with simple speech to text conversion software and image to voice conversion software is sufficient to achieve this...
To my knowledge there are two possibilities to do it...

1. A Special Person communicating with an ordinary person..

In this case the ordinary person speaks with his phone. It must been seen that a special line is dedicated... The speech signal is converted into text and is transmitted to the person.The reply from the person (obviously in sign language)is captured with a camera and is sent.This video is processed and is converted into speech signal and could be transmitted to the person on the other end of the line...

2. A Special Person communicating with another special person.

In this case ,the video is converted into text on both sides.

Now that seems so simple isn't it?.. and if the conversion process are taken up by the big boys like BSNL,AIRTEL,AIRCEL etc.. then the investment that the person have to make is just a camera mobile that is capable of sending videos which is very economical...

now tel me..Can we make a mobile phone for deaf? do give yr comments..
