Alcoholic Abuse and Rehabilitation

Alcoholics don’t have self control and they have an irresistible urge to consume alcohol. You may call it as a condition. The exact term to describe their condition is ‘alcohol abuse’.

Alcoholism

What exactly alcoholism? My friend has consumed alcohol one or two occasions in his life. Another friend even now drinks once in a month. Do you wish to call them as alcoholic? No! The former has consumed alcohol and stopped now and latter is still consuming with self control.


Alcohol Metabolism: Interesting Facts

Do you know how your body eliminates the alcohol you consumed? When alcohol enters into your stomach all the green signals are on and the alcohol runs through all absorption process so quickly. Your liver does the major performance in metabolizing the remaining ninety per cent of your alcohol. Through oxidation process, the alcohol you have consumed gets detoxified and removed from your blood.

When alcohol enters into your stomach all the green signals are on and the alcohol runs through all absorption process so quickly. Within one minute or two your stomach walls of your empty stomach absorb twenty percent of the alcohol you have consumed.

Alcohol: The Facts You should Know

Alcohol is one of the oldest intoxicating liquor known to man. Alcoholism is an illness of the mind and body. Enough is enough.

What is Alcohol? It is a hydroxyl compound. Its chemical name is ethyl alcohol, or ethanol. The chemical properties of this liquid include its flammability and solubility in water. It is less dense and evaporates at a lower temperature. Alcohol is prepared by the fermentation of yeast, sugars, and starches. Alcohol can be produced from a wide range of agricultural products, such as grapes, barley, wheat, grains, fruit, and potatoes.

I Am Your Liver: The Most Faithful Servant - Help Me to Serve You Better

Look here! It is me, your liver. You can feel my presence by touching the right side of your abdominal region. You can feel your bony rib cage. I am safely placed on the right side of your rib cage, just beneath your diaphragm. Physicians always prefer to check my condition by palpation, in case if you suffer from chronic ailments like jaundice, hepatitis, inflammation etc. Physicians and nutritionists always keep warning you for the excess consumption of alcohol or steroid drugs. No doubt, I am one of your most important organs.

Toshiba's TransferJet Technology components promise High-speed Wireless data transfer @ 560 Mbps: Adoptable in Digital consumer electronic devices (Smart-phones, Tablets etc.)


'TransferJet' high-speed, wireless transfer technology'
 
'TransferJet' is the close proximity,   high-speed, simple connectivity, wireless transfer technology' standard researched, designed,  developed and demonstrated by Sony during early 2008. The touch activated interface and the wireless TransferJet technology aimed to facilitate high speed data exchange between two electronic devices (peer to peer mode). The amazing physical transmission rate of this device is 560 Mbit/s. However the maximum throughput is rated as 375 Mbit/s after allowing for error correction and other protocol overhead.

Toshiba America Electronic  components, Inc. and TransferJet Consortium

The technology is further promoted by the TransferJet Consortium whose membership consists of 45 companies (as of August 2012), including Toshiba. Toshiba America Electronic  components, Inc. offer a single chip solution that utilizes an RF-CMOS manufacturing process  to support both RF and digital functions in one chip. Since the ultra small module single chip TransferJet embedded design (comprising built-in crystal and RF components in a 4.8x4.8x1.0 mm package) reduces power consumption, it is oriented towards small form factor consumer electronic devices. 

Toshiba TransferJet Technology Components and Applications

The form factor TransferJet technology components announced by Toshiba includes:

1. USB adaptor (TJM35420UX); 2. MicroUSB adaptor (TJM35420MU ); 3. MicroSDIO card (TC35420US); and 4. TransferJet-enabled SDHC memory card. 


These components aim to promote quick adoption of the TransferJet technology by OEMs and for end-user implementation (smart phones and hand-held micro-computing devices). For example: 1. The USB adaptor is compatible to Windows 7 and Windows 8 Operating Systems with Toshiba software; 2. The microUSB adaptor can be adopted in the Android™ 4.0 OS and above devices (equipped with a microUSB port and USB OTG (On The Go) function as well as  Android application software; 3. The microSDIO card (adoptable to) runs on Android 4.0 OS with (Toshiba) Linux drivers for OEMs to port it to their Application processors. 

 Toshiba TransferJet technology and Digital Electronic Devices' Consumers

Toshiba TransferJet technology is all set to become the next big thing in the close proximity wireless data transmission arena. The devies can transfer very large files, such as 1. from a portable device to a portable device (smartphone or a tablet) or 2. a portable device to a stationary device (TV or printer) with a simple connection in the shortest possible time. No file type limitation and all in mission critical data including aerospace, defense, medical application information - ebook, reports, drawing, photos, output from medical instruments, and videos, in very large file formats are compatible for secure and very high-speed data transfer.

The wireless speeds of TransferJet is about 8 faster than Wi-Fi Direct; the speed is amazing and transfer of 100 MB data file from mobile phone to television is possible in less than 2.0 seconds. Yet the TransferJet technology devices will consume lesser power than Blue tooth devices. Each of these devices may cost around $ 38.00 to 40.00 and can be applicable to mobiles or tablets with Android 4.0 or higher and Windows 7/8.
