Touch Screen Technology – From Finger to A Stylus Pen

The touch screen technology is now in a great proportion in our live.  It is an electronic visual display which can detect the presence and location of your touch within the display area, and this technology is generally used in tablet computers like iPad, smartphones or game consoles. The term touch is subjectively means the connection from your hand or fingers, or passively from a stylus pen. 

The main attributions of the touch screen can be listed in two. Firstly, it enables you to interact directly with what is displayed, that is, you don’t need a mouse, a trackball and an arrow buttons to achieve your work.  Take smartphone as an example, you can make phone calls, write messages or draw pictures via your fingers.  However, some may feel troubled if their screen is full of finger prints.  In this way, the invention of the capacitive stylus starts another main stream along with the touch screen.  People nowadays tend to use the stylus pen as one of the major accessories to work with the touch screen. 

But how does the touch screen work?  With special design, there are also some several touch screens for you to know.  Each of them works in different ways, and they are distinguished by how you sense the screen.  The four major ways are pressure sensitive, electrically sensitive, acoustically sensitive and photo sensitive.  The pressure sensitive touch screen, or resistive touchscreen, is composed of numbers of thin layers with two thin metallic layers that can electrically conductive and separated by a narrow gap.  And the metallic layers will be connected when the pressure is applied.  As for electrically sensitive one, the panels are made of an insulator coated transparent conductor.  So when the human body touch the conductor, it distorts the electrostatic filed of the body.  

 

How Stylus Pen Can Be Applied to Our Life?

Touch screen is now a very common type of application in computer technology.  This great revolution has turned the era of keyboards into a humanize technique.  You can feel free to click on every icon via fingertips, and slide all over the touch screens to browse your files or surf the internet. It is designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions and can be panel mounted, pedestal mounted or handheld. But how well do you know about the capacitive stylus?

Except for using the fingers, there is another technique that makes you even more convenient with touchscreens, that is, human machine interfaces, or usually called a stylus. The word stylus refers to the word “style”, which originated from the Latin word “stilus”, meaning a pointed instrument for writing upon wax tablets in ancient Rome.  The small tool can be used in many fields, for example, the computing system, art, music recording and scientific instrument.  In the music recording industry, we call it as gramophone needle while in computing, we called it as stylus pen.

Today, the user operates a touchscreen with a stylus, rather than using a finger, which avoids getting the natural oil from one's hands on the screen. It also improves the precision of the touch input, allowing use of smaller user interface elements. The capacitive stylus may be used for handwriting or drawing on the touch-sensitive surface.  Just like one of the most popular app games on the smart phones, Draw Something, you will need a good "pen" to draw if you want to make your drawing more alike to the keyword.  

With the help of this narrow elongated staff, all of the works can be so precisely finished.  The idea of the capacitive stylus comes from a ballpoint pen, so you can control every movement to exactly where you want it to be.  Lots of stylus pen are curved to be held more easily, and some of them even embedded with shinning diamonds. 

 

 

How To Choose a Proper CNC Milling Machine

From cutting to drilling, these machines are of great significance in many production activities. With the help of a good machine, you can expect quality equipment and reap great profits.  One of the most used equipment is CNC series like CNC milling machine or CNC turning machine.  With the use of CNC software, the machine can increase the speed of overall production.  CNC milling machine are an integral part of any manufacturing unit and unavoidable. Most of these machines uses electronic pump to lubricate itself. These machines facilitate easy operation and efficient work.

The CNC milling machine can be divided into two categories, horizontal and vertical, which is based on the placement of the cutting tool. The vertical type will perform all operations vertically while horizontal type works horizontally.  These machines have 3 to 5 axis machining centers, and the one with 5 axis machines are the fastest and the most precise one.  Instead of specializing in operating a milling machine manually, a CNC machinist specializes in operating a computer that controls it.

Like traditional operators, operators of computerized millers receive special training. However, unlike operators whose skills are oriented toward a particular machine, CNC operators find that, when they understand the work that is being performed, their skills are transferable to other types of computer-controlled machines.  As mentioned above, CNC milling machines boost production and reduce rework, and these benefits allow woodworkers to increase output while minimizing the expenses that typically influence its increase.
