Peacock quiller is an automated device used to quill paper strips, and paper ribbons of different thicknesses used in crafting artworks, wish cards, ornaments, etc. It is operated by a motor with a single-hand operation and the operation does not require support from the crafter’s fingers.
Over the years, manual and automated quilling tools and machines have been used for paper quilling art. The manual tools require the user to rotate the tool while holding the paper roll with fingers. The automated quilling tools thus invented needed the user to hold the paper roll while quilling with fingers. Certain semi-automated tools invented for this purpose contain a paper guide or a plunger to hold the paper roll. But the lack of support from the top corner of the paper guide may cause the paper strip to slip out of the appropriate alignment for consistent shape. Further, the conventional manual and semiautomated quilling machines and tools cannot give a consistently rolled paper roll with minimum misalignments thus requiring the crafter to provide support with fingers while quilling.
Paper quilling tools and machines invented so far need the support of the crafter’s fingers while the machine is in operation to quill paper strips. Thus, reducing the efficiency and speed of the quilling process. Manual and semi-automated machines used for paper quilling do not have a mechanism to align the paper strips towards the quilling pin and do not include an arm which can hold the rolling paper strip to avoid the paper strip slipping out of the paper guide/plunger.
The lack of the above features results in misalignments in the quilled paper roll and nevertheless requires the same attention and effort of the crafter as given for quilling manually by a basic quilling tool. The fully automated Peacock quiller (quilling device) aims at presenting a solution to this problem.
Electronic Demo Board demonstration kit designed to illustrate behaviors of digital logic gates, operational amplifiers and diodes and transistors.
The device is designed by a research team at NEO SPACE laboratory, the Open university of Sri Lanka with the aim of improving practical skills in electronics for school students.
It's available to purchase from E Gravity Solutions.
The multi-color two-dimensional optical code system is capable of storing data as a single sequence with no backward compatibility, two sequences with one of it with backward compatibility or three data sequences with one of them having the backward compatibility.
The mode of layer encoding can be determined by the user according to the application of the code. This gives the user to have more flexible method of code generation while reducing the space required for the code.
The newly invented barcode and Two-dimensional matrix code structure can increase the data capacity by 3 times compared to a regular same-sized barcode or a two-dimensional matrix code. Therefore, it can compress and store 3 different regular barcodes or Two-dimensional matrix codes in a single image, where users can store large numerical and character sequences to store software keys, addresses, web links etc.
