Google tries to turn up the curiosity levels for every Android release, mostly, the naming part. For Android O, people have their assumptions about what name it might carry. Many of them think the official name for Android O would be Oreo. But there are other possibilities as well, including Ontbijtkoek, Oliebol, Oatmeal Cookie, etc.
According to a file (now deleted) spotted by Android Police, Android O’s name may have been revealed accidentally. The video file named “GoogleOreo_Teaser_0817_noDroids (1).mp4” is an eclipse-themed Android O teaser.
Image: Android Police The Android-maker shared the file in a post made through their Google+ account. It can also be the case that Google was trying to drop a hint. Google later replaced the post with another video called “Octopus Teaser.mp4”.
Image: Android Police We can only hope that it’s a random name, not another hint. Indeed, Oreo would be a better choice than Octopus when picking names for Android O.
Curious minds can have a sense of satisfaction after knowing the name. But do keep in mind the fact that Android O release is scheduled for 21 August. Still, there are two days left. You can watch the live stream of the event happening in New York at 2:40 PM Eastern Time. The release date has been synchronized with the solar eclipse which is the first of its kind since 1918.
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...
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 ...
Google’s Project Jacquard Turns Clothes Into Touch Screens and Track pad We are currently breathing in a world that is smarter. We have smart phones, smart tabs, smart televisions, smart watches and what not but there’s one thing that Google wishes to add to this list of smart things of our everyday life. Want to know about it – its smart fabric, a fabric inbuilt with sensors, equipped with the ability to sense touch, swipe, send data through the conductive yarns and lot more. This is an effort by Google to generate a technology that would revolutionize the field of textiles and fabrics. The fabric can also facilitate calling, messaging, chatting and lot more alike. The project named as Project Jacquard debuted on Google I/O 2015 as a unit of Google ATAP. The fabric is weaved with a special yarn that is conductive created by Google ATAP team in partnership with American jeans manufacturing company Levis. However, the fabrics are not fully weaved out of the ...
