The number of apps that are available to us is
astounding. It’s easy to believe there are apps for everything. With so
many options available, however, it can be hard to determine what apps
to get. Below is a list of a few apps that aren’t your everyday app but
can be pretty useful, depending on your situation.
Tunity
– Ever been to a noisy bar and can’t hear what the announcers are
saying on the TV? This app allows you to play the sound of the TV from
your device. It scans the TV and figures out what channel is on. Then,
audio begins playing through your phone.
Photomath
– This app claims itself to be the world’s smartest calculator. Having
trouble figuring out how to solve a math problem? Using your phone’s
camera, the app captures math problems and walks you through the steps.
RunPee
– Having to use the restroom while watching a movie can be rough. This
app tells you the best time to get up to go. Just set what movie you’re
watching and it will tell you the best times to use the restroom. It
will even give you a short summary of what’s happening while you’re
away!
Pushbullet
– Checking your phone notifications while working can become a juggling
task. This app pushes notifications from your phone to other devices.
You can also push links and files from your phone to your desktop. And
the best part? There’s full SMS integration so you can view entire
conversations from your desktop.
Listen on Repeat
– This one is pretty straightforward. There are a few reasons why this
app is great. Not only will it let you play your favorite YouTube clips
on repeat, it allows you to turn the screen off while listening. In
terms of saving battery life, this will help greatly.
Twilight
– Ever catch yourself having trouble falling asleep because you’re on
your phone late at night? According to this app, exposure to ‘blue
light’ before going to sleep may disrupt your sleeping cycle. The app
helps reduce blue light emitting from your device. The best part is it
recognizes your time zone and can automatically adapt to the timing of
the day.
Although some of these apps aren’t for everyone, it goes to show
there really is an app for just about everything. What are some of your
unusual apps?
Short Bytes: A new BitTorrent feature has been announced which is designed with a goal of maintaining a sharing ratio of 2:1 in a swarm. The confusing Altruistic Mode feature will make sure that your share more and download less. B itTorrent Inc. has added a new feature that’s strange, confusing, and interesting at the same time. Known as Altruistic Mode, the features promotes the philosophy of giving more taking less on the torrent network. The Altruistic Mode is designed to make sure that your sharing ratio remains more than 2:1 i.e. while downloading a torrent, you upload 2Gb data for every 1GB download. Many of the loyal torrent users seed to benefit the network and the download speed of other users. But BitTorrent says that this does not guarantee a 2:1 ratio. That’s where the Altruistic Mode comes handy and helps a swarm. “Because of this Altruistic Mode downloads will often never complete,” writes Bram Cohen, the creator of the BitTorrent protocol. In a blog p...
An engine operates by burning a fuel-air mixture, which expands and exerts pressure. If more air is introduced, the pressure on the piston increases, resulting in greater power output. This process is known as cylinder charging. However, in a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) engine, there is a limit to how much cylinder charging can be increased under atmospheric pressure. Various methods have been developed to improve cylinder charging efficiency. Why does cylinder charging decrease? In a 4-stroke engine, the fuel-air mixture enters through the intake valve during the intake stroke. The intake valve opens to allow air to enter the cylinder and closes at the end of the stroke. However, since an engine completes a cycle in just milliseconds, the time available for the intake valve to remain open is very short, especially at high RPMs. When an engine runs at high speeds, there isn't enough time to fully fill the cylinder with air, leading to reduced pressure on the piston ...
1. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. Battery: Small battery charged through regenerative braking and the gasoline engine. Fuel Source: Gasoline-only (battery assists but does not provide independent propulsion). Charging: Cannot be plugged in; relies on the engine and regenerative braking for recharging. Operation: Runs primarily on the gasoline engine. The electric motor assists in improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. At low speeds or short distances, it may run purely on the electric motor, but not for long. Example Models: ✅️Toyota Prius (HEV), Honda Accord Hybrid (Global) ✅️ Honda City Hybrid eHev , Toyota Innova Hycross 2. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and a larger electric motor than HEVs. Battery: Larger battery than HEVs, allowing for independent electric-only driving. Fuel Source: Uses both gasoline and electricity. Can run on electric...
