It gives me immense satisfaction that next issue of FCS Newsletter
is ready for the readers. Department Newsletter mirrors the success
story of a department and act as a great medium to reach out to the
outer world. It reflects upon the persistent and committed efforts
made by faculty, staff and students for taking the university one step
ahead. This would definitely create an impact in the minds of read-
ers, by way of providing larger visibility and dimension to the cam-
pus.
I congratulate everyone for their bit of service for the university and
do expect the same in times to come.
I also congratulate the editorial team for bringing out present issue
of newsletter.
Wish you good luck!

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
