Antena punca siaran Astro mudah terganggu - Alternatif Baru

THAREK menunjukkan lapisan kuprum pemancar rata (kanan) bersama model PBWA sebagai alternatif menerima siaran Astro yang lebih baik di Johor Bahru

JOHOR BAHRU - Bila hujan sahaja siaran mudah terganggu.
Itulah dilema yang membelenggu pengguna televisyen satelit berbayar, Astro sejak dulu hingga sekarang walaupun kadar caj bulanan mereka telah meningkat.

Situasi itu jelas mengecewakan jika ia berlaku tatkala seronok menonton rancangan yang diminati.

Dalam hal ini, Pengarah Pusat Komunikasi Wayarles Fakulti Kejuruteraan Elektrik Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Skudai, Prof. Dr. Tharek Abd Rahman berkata, masalah itu boleh diatasi jika Astro menukar antena yang berbentuk cengkung sekarang kepada leper dan rata.

Beliau menjelaskan, gelombang yang dipancarkan dari satelit gagal menemui titik fokal yang berfungsi untuk menterjemahkan siaran kerana gangguan hujan.

"Saya yakin penggunaan antena yang berbentuk leper dan rata yang mana titik fokalnya terlindung di belakang antena akan dapat mengatasi masalah itu,'' katanya kepada pemberita di sini semalam.

Beliau sebelum itu memperkenalkan Capaian Wayarles Mudah Alih Jalur Lebar (PBWA), gajet wi-fi mudah alih yang dicipta oleh Fakulti Kejuruteraan Elektrik universiti berkenaan.

Hasil ciptaannya itu telah memenangi pingat emas dalam satu pameran antarabangsa di Geneva, Switzerland pada 2 April lalu.

Tharek berpendapat, satu lagi sebab siaran Astro sering terjejas semasa hujan ialah kerana penggunaan kuasa gelombang setinggi 12 Gigahertz (GHz).

Jelasnya, penggunaan kuasa gelombang setinggi itu tidak dapat dielak memandangkan ia frekuensi wajib industri penyiaran.

"Sebab itu capaian generasi ketiga (3G) dan Perkhidmatan Radio Paket (GPRS) yang menggunakan kuasa gelombang di bawah 10GHz tidak terjejas meskipun waktu hujan,'' ujarnya.

Mengenai produk emasnya itu, beliau memberitahu, ia berfungsi menukar capaian 3G atau GPRS kepada Wifi.

"Ia mempunyai perisian yang boleh memastikan capaian internet adalah efisien dan boleh dijadikan sebagai prabayar. Ciri-ciri ini belum ada lagi pada alat yang sama di pasaran,'' katanya.

Alat itu boleh digunakan dalam bas dan kereta api di mana penumpang boleh melayari internet dalam keadaan sama seperti menggunakan telefon mudah alih.

Katanya, kelebihan alat itu adalah boleh dibawa ke mana-mana asalkan pengguna itu mempunyai akses kepada 3G atau GPRS.

Preserve your fruits and vegetables

Using "aluminum coated plastic bags”, can keep the fruits and vegetables for weeks and still fresh.

Here is the kind of aluminium coated plastic bag from quaker. You can use any other aluminium coated bag would do.

You can put plenty of fruites and/or vegetables in it.

Look , After 1 week, the vegetables are still fresh!Amazing! Isn't it???! No dehydration at all.

Look at the okras, they are still very very fresh without any dehydration at all.

But don't fold or seal the opening of the bag. Just leave the bag open and it will do the magic work for you already. Try it out. You would sure like it very much too.

Take Care About Your Health

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hotdog

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams, may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams.

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
9. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Reasons for sleeping and waking up early.

Evening at 9 - 11pm: is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an un-relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
