Computers today are like wheel in earlier century, in no time

they became mandatory for all and added up speed to the

work. Today computers have shocked the world with its

amazing power of handling the most complex tasks in just a

click of second. This remarkable capability today had caught

the attention of entire world, and many big things are done by

a smart computer. But this journey was not that simple; in this

issue we bring you the journey of computer when a first ma-

chine of this kind was put forward by Charles Babbage and

his theories about this machine.

Further we bring you the latest outcomes in this technology

like robots solving problem in no time, importance of

knowledge management in modern era and the Artificial Intel-

ligence.

We hope you will enjoy reading this issue !!

GOOGLE’S AR MICROSCOPE TO DETECT CANCER

USING MACHINE LEARNING

t the Annual Meeting of the

American Association for Can-

cer Research (AACR), Google

unveiled the prototype Aug-

mented Reality Microscope (ARM) platform

that can detect cancer.

The platform consists of a modified light mi-

croscope that enables real-time image analy-

sis and presentation of the results of machine

learning algorithms directly into the field of

view. Importantly, the ARM can be retrofit-

ted into any existing light microscope, which

are usually found in hospitals and clinics

around the world and are made with low-

cost, readily-available components.

In theory, the ARM can provide a wide variety of visual feedback, including text, arrows, contours,

heatmaps, or animations, and is capable of running many types of machine learning algorithms aimed at

solving different problems such as object detection, quantification, or classification.

angalore based ride hauling service Ola has announced “Mission Elec-tric”, which aims to deploy 10,000 electric vehicles, mostly e-

rickshaws and electric auto-rickshaws in the country, over the next 12 months.

The company aims to develop “Mission Electric” as a platform to bring one mil-lion electric vehicles on road by 2021, said in a statement.

Ola has been running an EV pilot in Nag-pur since May 2017, which includes elec-tric cabs, electric auto rickshaws, electric buses, rooftop solar installations, charg-ing stations, and battery swapping exper-iments.

Additionally, the company is in discussion with several state governments to create appropriate policies for deploying elec-tric three-wheelers. The company is also talking to OEM partners and EV innova-tors globally to bring vehicles on the road in a planned and phased manner.

t the RSA 2018 Conference in San Francisco, Intel

launched Security Essentials, a framework that standard-

izes the built-in security features across Intel processors.

These capabilities are platform integrity technologies for secure

boot, hardware protections (for data, keys and other digital assets),

accelerated cryptography and trusted execution enclaves to protect

applications at runtime. Additionally, Intel also announced Intel

Threat Detection Technology, which features a set of silicon-level

capabilities that will help the ecosystem detect new classes of

threats.

The new Intel Threat Detection Technology comes with two new

capabilities, Accelerated Memory Scanning and Intel Advanced

Platform Telemetry. With Accelerated Memory Scanning, the

scanning is handled by Intel’s integrated graphics processor, ena-

bling more scanning, while reducing the impact on performance

and power consumption. Early benchmarking on Intel test systems

show CPU utilization dropped from 20 percent to as little as 2 per-

cent.

FACEBOOK HAS BEEN

WORKING ON PREDICTING

USERS’ BEHAVIOR

he Interceptor, based on

the confidential docu-

ments obtained, exposed

Facebook’s secret new ad-

vertising service that leverages

artificial AI to predict user behav-

ior.

The document, which was de-

scribed as “confidential”, details

“a new advertising service that

expands how the social network

sells corporations’ access to its

users and their lives”

For many years, we believed that

all Facebook has been doing is

helping advertisers target a par-

ticular group of people, based on

demographics and personal pref-

erences. However, now it seems

that the company is planning to

offer “the ability to target them

based on how they will behave,

what they will buy, and what they

will think”.

Facebook’s new capability in pre-

dicting user behavior came from

its AI-powered prediction engines

called “FBLearner Flow”. Accord-

ing to the documents, Facebook

can even predict future behavior,

which allows advertisers to target

people on the basis of decisions

they haven’t even made yet.

In the document, Facebook illus-

trates how it can crunch its user

base of over 2 billion people and

predicts millions of people who

are “at risk” of jumping ship from

one brand to a competitor. With

this data, these individuals can be

then targeted aggressively with

advertising that could preempt

and change their decision. Face-

book calls this process “improved

marketing efficiency”, while the

service is named “loyalty predic-

tion”.

Earlier this month, more and

more revelations about Face-

book’s data harvesting methods

were made during its CEO and co-

founder Mark Zuckerberg’s Sen-

ate hearing, such as tracking and

collecting data from non-

Facebook users. The new expose

will definitely add to the further

decline of user's trust in the plat-

form.

Knowledge Sharing in

Multinational Organizations nowledge sharing within an organization is important to its success. Much of the current litera-ture on the management of knowledge focuses on knowledge that resides within organization and its people. It was in the mid 1990’s, when the world of business recognized the importance of continuous innovations and intensive knowledge sharing. New management concepts such

as performance, innovation and knowledge management increasingly emerged. This has or will un-doubtedly determine the future success or failure of multinational enterprises or multinational corpora-tions, facing unpredictable market situations. Since business has moved towards a knowledge -driven economy, innovation and new knowledge creation become key factors for success within any industry.

With the rise of the web and multimedia technologies, companies have become able to capture, store, organize, share and apply an enormous amount of information. Nowadays, important knowledge and expertise, which was captured in the heads of the employees in former times, should be attainable at any time and any place around the world. But is it like that in reality? First of all knowledge manage-ment is a social process between individuals committed to constantly communicate explicit knowledge. Successful knowledge sharing cannot be based on technical instruments and databases. It is more a question of corporate culture. Successful and effective knowledge sharing can only be realized by people with a great corporate understanding, values, culture and leadership in order to avoid a culture of knowledge hoarding among the different departments or business units. In intercultural context knowledge has got more dimensions and it is more subtle. People from different cultural backgrounds are shaped by different understandings of knowledge and its communication. Because of that the ap-proach for an effective intercultural knowledge management effort has been observed from different point of views. Only a very sensitive approach with the intention of deeply embedding it into the long-term strategy of the company can guarantee lasting success.

Today’s multinational enterprises face new challenges. Since the beginning of the Internet Revolution in the early 1990s geographical barriers have become more or less unimportant. At the same time the globalization process has moved on and international markets have been more and more deregulated. As a consequence, international trade and business multiplied world-wide.

The time to market for new products decreased while the need to respond to new market conditions quickly increased. The main sources of competitive advantage - efficiency and quality - are replaced by knowledge and innovation. Companies will have to provide continuous innovation in order to compete successfully in a global Marketplace. As we are aware that information is a must for managers these days importance of information can be realized if some decisions, which are, must take at a particular time but managers are not able to take because of not receiving the information at proper time. Not receiving problems is because of non-availability of information. So corporate should have such infor-mation management resources which can manage knowledge of human resources and thus can be pre-served. For better handling and managing the information so that a corporate can succeed in long term; they will have to implement Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) in their organizations or companies thus integrating knowledge management into the business infrastructure. The measure-ment of knowledge and its processes is in its formative stage. As knowledge management becomes more mainstream, it should increase its prominence and accountability. Today the industry relies on knowledge sharing and collaboration between its employees and amongst subsidiary companies to remain competitive in an ever changing and market driven environment. Practice has changed from workers supplying labor to workers supplying knowledge. Technology improvements and invest-ments in automation have provided companies the platform to generate, codify, harness and exploit knowledge as a means of improving organizational performance.

owadays everything is becoming automat-ed , robots are stealing our jobs , AI is com-ing, the Terminator scenario but ultimately people don't really have a reason to be

scared because what AI ultimately comes down to, what outsourcing are cognition into the machines is really all about. It's about amplifying the most powerful phenomenon in the universe which is in-telligence we are finally learning to reverse engi-neering, distill, understand, reprouce intelligence. once we can create sentience that is not bound by the band width of our physicality of our biology. We will literally be creating sentience that can up-date itself Minds that can create minds. Computers that build better computers. And at this point , the runaway train that literally is speeding up at an extraordinary rate , will leave everything behind.

AI is categorized as 1.AI. 2.Machine learning. 3.Deep learning.

HOW AI WORKS

Actually what the AI does is it's a system capable of learning directly from data by advent of data ana-lytics and applied either through a set of rules that evolved overtime through human intervention with the system of process to machine learning.

Nearly artificial intelligence was strated about in 1950's and it's vast usage spread up to every nuke and corner of modern technology, and after the de-bugging of artificial intelligence from then thirty years later around 1980's machine learning was developed

Machine learning is that, set of rules are given to machines by data analytics after computing the da-ta it can perform tasks by it own without any hu-man intervention with the help of AI

We can say that Deep learning is the next phase of machine learning or subset of machine learning, it make new techniques such as neutral network's to make learn from large amount of data as our neu-rons does in our brain they were huge in number and made millions of network's and always trans-porting data. All the algorithm or new techniques

were done here.

All these AI and machine learning and deep learn-ing will make a tremendous sentience as our crea-tion to do many more tasks that we cannot per-form and cannot solve it capabilities to recognise images, speech and detection of natural language, that ensures us promise to have a amazing posi-tive significant role on our every day lives.

AI powered to Andro humanoid robots ,they were among us and becoming citizen one among us here is SOPHIA first Andro humanoid robot powered with AI she got citizenship from Saudi Arabia. She was the first ever robot to receive citizenship from any country. She was made by a Hong Kong based company HANSON ROBOTICS. She was born on 19th April 2015.

There are many more robots that were powered by AI to robotics technology, there is a company named BOSOTON DYNAMICS that makes robots.

The human era will have ended .We will have be-come our creations. They will be our children , but they will really be us. There is no reason to fear this. This is just evolution.

BEST VPN`S

AROUND

THE GLOBE

ave you become so comfortable with the

concept of your private data traveling over

Wi-Fi that you've stopped worrying about

the safety of said data—or about who else

might be snooping on it or even stealing it

for nefarious purposes? If so, you're in the

majority. That devil-may-care attitude to personal data rep-

resents a huge privacy and security problem, however. Pub-

lic Wi-Fi networks, which are commonplace and convenient,

are unfortunately also highly convenient for attackers look-

ing to compromise your personal information. When even

your ISP is allowed to sell your browsing history it's time to

begin thinking about protecting your data. That's where vir-

tual private networks, or VPNs, come in.

These online services use simple

software to protect your internet

connection, and they give you

greater control over how you ap-

pear online, too. While you might

never have heard of VPN services,

they are valuable tools that you

should understand and use. So who

needs a VPN? The short answer is

that everyone does. Even Mac us-

ers can benefit from a VPN.

What Is a VPN?

a VPN is used to create a secure,

encrypted connection—which can

be thought of as a tunnel—

between your computer and a

server operated by the VPN ser-

vice. In a professional setting, this

tunnel makes you part of the com-

pany's network, as if you were

physically sitting in the office—

hence the name.

While you're connected to a VPN,

all your network traffic passes

through this protected tunnel, and

no one—not even your ISP—can

see your traffic until it exits the

tunnel from the VPN server and

enters the public internet. .

Who Needs a VPN?

The protection provided by a

VPN offers users many ad-

vantages. First and foremost, it

prevents anyone on the same

network access point (or any-

where else) from intercepting

your web traffic in a man-in-the

-middle attack. This is especial-

ly handy for travelers and for

those using public Wi-Fi net-

works, such as web surfers at

hotels, airports, and coffee

shops. VPNs also cloak your

computer's actual IP address,

making it harder for advertisers

(or spies, or hackers) to track

you online.

This is just common-sense se-

curity, but there are also people

for whom a VPN is essential for

personal and professional safe-

ty. Journalists and activists rely

on VPN services to circumvent

government censorship so they

can safely communicate with

the outside world. Of course,

doing so may be against the

law, depending on the country

in which they're located.

robot built at MIT has reportedly set a world speed record

for solving a Rubik's Cube, cutting the previous record of

0.637 seconds (set by another robot in 2016) down to just

0.38 seconds. If robots had grandparents, this one's would

be very proud.

The Rubik's-solving robot was constructed at MIT this January by Ben

Katz, a mechanical engineering graduate student, and Jared Di Carlo,

an electrical engineering and computer science student, at a student-

run hacker lab.

ROBOT SOLVE

RUBIK’S CUBE IN

0.38 SECONDS In their new speed-solving bot, Katz and Di Carlo engi-neered individual motors to control six metal rods grip-ping the cube's six faces. Two webcams send footage of the cube to a nearby computer, helping the robot identify which colors fall on which face of the cube at a given time. Working from this information, the robot solves the cube with an algorithm previously used in other Rubik's-solving robots.

While our fleshy human fingers cannot hope to best the whirling motors and metal grips of robots like these, pro-fessional human speedcubers have set some pretty mind-boggling speed records of their own. The current world speed record for solving a Rubik's Cube is held by SeungBeom Cho, who solved a jumbled cube in 4.59 se-conds at a 2007 World Cube Organization competition.

id you just splurge on a high-speed internet

connection only to find that the Wi-Fi speeds

seem abysmally slow or do you see frequent

disconnects on devices that are connected to

the network. There are a variety of reasons why this

could be happening but one of the most common ones

must do with Wi-Fi channels.

The way your router works is by taking your Wi-Fi con-

nection and assigning a unique channel to it, depend-

ing on your router, these are normally auto selected,

meaning your router jumps from channel to channel

frequently hopping on to the one it thinks is the least

crowded. Unfortunately, any other routers in your im-

mediate vicinity are also doing the same thing meaning

often, your neighbour might just end up using the

same channel as your router. Luckily, there is an easy

fix for it. Before fixing the problem, you must identify

the channel your router is currently on, depending on

your system there are a few ways you can do this.

On a Mac, hold down the option key and click the Wi-Fi

icon on the Menu bar. Select Wireless diagnostics. Ig-

nore the setup wizard that opens, instead click on Win-

dow and select Scan. In the Window that opens, press

Scan Now at the bottom. In the left side of the window

pane, Mac will recommend free channels depending on

your frequency, write these down.

On an iPhone/iPad, head to the app store and down-

load the AirPort Utility App. Head to settings, find Air-

Port Utility and enable Wi-Fi Scanner. Now Scan net-

works around you and make a note of the channels

with most number of networks on them.

On Windows, you are going to need to download a sep-

arate utility such Acrylic Wi-Fi. Once you have down-

loaded the utility, run it and Scan for networks, as be-

fore make note of the most popular ones.

On an Android Phone/Tablet, head to the Play store

and download Wi-Fi Analyzer. Open the app and as be-

fore, Scan networks and make note of the popular

channels.

SPEED

UP

YOUR

WIFI

We are going to need access to your Router’s

admin page to make the changes, the most com-

mon URL to access the settings page is

192.168.1.1, input that in your web browser. If

nothing happens, then refer to the manual that

comes with your router for the correct address.

Now you are going to find the Wi-Fi settings

page, once there, look for the Channels options

and select the channel that is being used the

least, save your settings and exit.

That’s It! You’ve now successfully decoupled

your Wi-Fi from a crowded channel, this should

hopefully bring you some much needed con-

sistency in your home network.

harles Babbage was born in

London Dec. 26, 1791, St.

Stephan day, in London. He was

son of Benjamin Babbage, a

banking partner of the Praeds who owned

the Bitton Estate in Teignmouth and

Betsy Plumleigh Babbage. It was about

1808 when the Babbage family decided to

move into the old Rowdens house, located

in East Teignmouth, and Benjamin Bab-

bage became a warden of the nearby

church of St. Michael.

The father of Charles was a rich man, so it

was possible for Charles to receive in-

struction from several elite schools and

teachers during the course of his elemen-

tary education. He was about eight when

he had to move to a country school to

recover from a dangerous fever. His par-

ents sentenced that his "brain was not to

be taxed too much"; Babbage wrote: "this

great idleness may have led to some of my

childish reasonings."

Then, he joined King Edward VI Gram-

mar School in Totnes, South Devon, a

thriving comprehensive school that's still

operative today, but his fragile health sta-

tus forced him back to private teaching for

a period. Then, he finally joined a 30-

student closed number academy managed

by Reverend Stephen Freeman. The acad-

emy had a big library, where Babbage

used to study mathematics by himself, and

learned to love it. He had two more per-

sonal tutors after leaving the academy.

One was a clergyman of Cambridge, and

about him Babbage said: "I fear I did not

derive from it all the advantages that I

might have done.". The other one was an

Oxford tutor who teached Babbage the

Classics, so that he could be accepted to

Cambridge.

Babbage arrived at Trinity College, Cam-

bridge in October 1810. He had a big cul-

ture - he knew Lagrange, Leibniz, La-

croix, Simpson... and he was seriously

disappointed about the math programs

available at Cambridge. So he, with

J.Herschel, G.Peacock, and other friends,

decided to form the Analytical Society.

When, in 1812, Babbage transferred to

Peterhouse, Cambridge, he was the best

mathematician; but he failed to graduate

with honours.

He received an honorary degree later,

without even being examinated, in 1814.

In 1814, Charles Babbage married Geor-

giana Whitmore at St. Michael's Church

in Teignmouth, Devon. His father, for

some reason, never gave his approvation.

They lived in tranquility at 5 Devonshire

Street, Portland Place, London.

In Babbage's times there was a really high

error rate in the calculation of math ta-

bles, when Babbage planned to find a new

method that could be use to make it me-

chanically, removing the human error

factor. This idea started to tickle his brain

very early, in 1812.

Three different elements influenced him

in this decision: he disliked untidiness and

unprecision; he was very able with loga-

rithmical tables; he was inspired from an

existing work on calculating machines

produced by W. Schickard, B.Pascal, and

G. Leibniz.

He discussed the main principles of a cal-

culating engine in a letter he wrote to Sir

H. Davy in the early 1822.

Babbage presented something that he

called "difference engine" to the Royal

Astronomical Society on Jun 14, 1822 and

in a paper entitled "Note on the applica-

tion of machinery to the computation of

astronomical and mathematical tables."

It was able to calculate polynomials by

using a numerical method called the dif-

ferences method.

The Society approved the idea, and the

government granted him £1500 to con-

struct it, in 1823. Charles Babbage con-

verted one of the rooms in his home to a

workshop and hired Joseph Clement to

oversee construction of the engine. Every

part had to be formed by hand using cus-

tom machine tools, many of which Bab-

bage himself designed. He took extensive

tours of industry to better understand

manufacturing processes. Based on these

trips and his experience with the differ-

ence engine, Babbage published On the

Economy of Machinery and Manufacture

in 1832. It was the first publication on

what we would now call operations re-

search.

The death of Georgiana, Babbage's father,

and an infant son interrupted construction

in 1827. Work had already taxed Babbage

heavily and he was on the edge of a break-

down. John Herschel and several other

friends convinced Babbage to take a trip

to Europe to recuperate. He passed

through the Netherlands, Belgium, Ger-

many, and Italy visiting universities and

manufacturing facilities.

In Italy he learned he had been named the

Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. He

initially wanted to turn down the position

but several friends convinced him to ac-

cept. He moved to 1 Dorset Street upon

returning to England in 1828.

The difference engine project had come

under fire during Babbage's absence. Ru-

mours had spread that Babbage had wast-

ed the government's money; that the ma-

chine did not work; and that it had no

practical value if it did. John Herschel and

the Royal Society publicly defended the

engine. The government continued its

support, advancing £1500 on April 29,

1829, £3000 on December 3, and £3000

on February 24, 1830. Work continued,

but Babbage would have continual diffi-

culty getting money from the treasury.

Babbage's problems with the treasury

coincided with numerous disagreements

with Clement. Babbage had built a two-

story, 50 foot long workshop behind his

house. It had a glass roof for lighting, and

a fireproof, dust-free room to contain the

machine. Clement refused to move his

operations to the new workshop and de-

manded more money for the difficulty of

travelling across town to oversee con-

struction. In response, Babbage suggested

that Clement draw his pay directly from

the treasury. Before then, Babbage would

get money from the government that he

would use to pay Clement. He often had

to pay Clement out of his own pocket

when the bureaucracy lagged behind

Clement's pay schedule. Clement refused

the request and stopped working.

Clement further refused to turn over the

drawings and tools used to build the dif-

ference engine. After an investment of

£23000, including £6000 of Babbage's

own money, work on the unfinished ma-

chine ceased in 1834. Charles wrote, "The

drawings and parts of the Engine are at

length in a place of safety—I am almost

worn out with disgust and annoyance at

the whole affair." In 1842 the government

officially abandoned the project.

While he was separated from the differ-

ence engine, Babbage began to think

about an improved calculating engine.

Between 1833 and 1842 he tried to build a

machine that would be programmable to

do any kind of calculation, not just ones

relating to polynomial equations. The first

breakthrough came when he redirected

the machine's output to the input for fur-

ther equations. He described this as the

machine "eating its own tail". It did not

take much longer for him to define the

main points of his analytical engine.

The mature analytical engine used

punched cards adapted from the Jacquard

loom to specify input and the calculations

to perform. The engine consisted of

two parts: the mill and the store. The

mill, analogous to a modern comput-

er's CPU, executed the operations on

values retrieved from the store,

which we would consider memory. It

was the world's first general-purpose

computer.

A design for this emerged by 1835.

The scale of the work was truly in-

credible. Babbage and a handful of

assistants created 500 large design

drawings, 1000 sheets of mechanical

notation, and 7000 sheets of scrib-

bles. The completed mill would meas-

ure 15 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter.

The 100 digit store would stretch to

25 feet long. Babbage constructed

only small test parts for his new en-

gine; a full engine was never complet-

ed. In 1842, following repeated fail-

ures to obtain funding from the First

Lord of the Treasury, Babbage ap-

proached Sir Robert Peel for funding. Peel

refused, and offered Babbage a knighthood

instead. Babbage refused. He would con-

tinue modifying and improving the design

for many years to come.

In October 1842, Federico Luigi, Conte

Menabrea, an Italian general and mathe-

matician, published a paper on the analyti-

cal engine. Augusta Ada King, Countess

of Lovelace, a longtime friend of Babbage,

translated the paper into English. Charles

suggested that she add notes to accompa-

ny the paper. In a series of letters between

1842 and 1843, the pair collaborated on

seven notes, the combined length of which

was three times longer than the actual

paper. In one note Ada prepared a table of

execution for a program that Babbage

wrote to calculate the Bernoulli numbers.

In another, she wrote about a generalized

algebra engine that could perform opera-

tions on symbols as well as numbers.

Lovelace was perhaps the first to grasp

the more general goals of Babbage’s ma-

chine, and some consider her the world's

first computer programmer. She began

work on a book describing the analytical

engine in more detail, but it was never

finished.

Between October 1846 and March 1849

Babbage started designing a second differ-

ence engine using knowledge gained from

the analytical engine. It used only about

8000 parts, three times fewer than the

first. It was a marvel of mechanical engi-

neering.

Unlike the analytical engine that he con-

tinually tweaked and modified, he did not

try to improve the second difference en-

gine after completing the initial design.

Babbage made no attempt to actually con-

struct the machine.

The 24 schematics remained in the Sci-

ence Museum archives until a full-size

replica was built 1985-1991 to celebrate

the 200th anniversary of Babbage’s birth.

It measured 11 feet long, 7 feet high and

18 inches deep, and weighted 2.6 tonnes.

The limits of precision were restricted to

those achievable by Babbage.
