CCT1023 Group A (13 September 2009)

Today is the dateline to hand up our 3rd individual assignment. Then the class is as usual and Miss Azura give the lecture about chapter 7. We're also asked to find what is RCA.


RCA

An RCA connector is a plug and a jack designed for use with coaxial cable for frequencies ranging from the very lowest up to several megahertz. An RCA connector is sometimes known as a phono plug and jack.

The male RCA plug consists of a central pin measuring approximately two millimeters (mm) in diameter, and an outer shell whose inside diameter is approximately six mm. The plug shell is slotted rather than threaded, to facilitate quick insertion to, and removal from, the female jack or receptacle. Contact is maintained by physical pressure between the slotted shell of the plug and the smooth cylindrical barrel of the jack. The plug shell is connected to the outer conductor, or shield, of the coaxial cable, normally at electrical ground. The center pin of the plug is connected to the cable center conductor, which carries the signal. In the jack, the barrel is grounded and the center hole is plated inside to conduct the signal.

RCA connector

RCA connectors are suitable for audio-frequency (AF) applications. They are also used in radio-frequency (RF)systems at low and medium frequencies, and at power levels up to approximately 100 watts. At higher frequencies or higher power levels, larger connectors are necessary. RCA connectors are designed for cables with small outside diameters (less than 6 or 7 mm) and are intended for indoor use only.

CCT1023 Group A (2 September 2009)

RazakSAT


The objectives of the project are to provide high-resolution images for Malaysia and build Malaysian space technology capabilities through ATSB. In order to meet the technology objective, a cost-effective high resolution imaging system for Earth observation specifically for a small satellite less than 200 kg was implemented. RazakSAT carries the Medium-sized Aperture Camera (MAC) that will provide 2.5m resolution panchromatic and 5.0m resolution multi-spectral images. This project involves the design, development, launch and operations of the satellite.

The RazakSAT satellite is planned to be launched near in the future on a USA launcher Falcon 1 owned and operated by the company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX). It will be a dedicated launch from kwajalein in the Republic of Marshall Islands which is situated very close to the equator to give the best orbital injection for RazakSAT , i.e. near equatorial orbit (NEqO). RazakSAT's images would be applied to forestry, fishery, migration and other areas that will benefit the nation.

It carries an electro-optical payload, a Medium-sized Aperture Camera (MAC) a pushbroom camera with 5 linear detectors (1 panchromatic, 4 multi-spectral). The RazakSAT satellite will be operated through its ground segment in Malaysia, consisting of a Mission Control Station (MCS) and Image Receiving and Processing Station (IRPS). ATSB's engineers are operators at the MCS and they will execute the mission plan, command generation and telemetry receiving, archiving and analysis.

ATSB is also involved in Sg Lang Ground Station implementation project committee. ATSB has assisted in development of the system specification to support RazakSAT Mission Control Station (MCS) and Image Receiving and Processing Station (IRPS).

(i)Mesh Topology:



The Mesh Topology is a type of network setup where each of the computers and network devices are interconnected with one another, allowing for most transmissions to be distributed, even if one of the connections go down. This type of topology is not commonly used for most computer networks as it is difficult and expensive to have redundant connection to every computer. However, this type of topology is commonly used for wireless networks. Below is a visual example of a simple computer setup on a network using a mesh topology.

(ii) Tree Topology



The Tree Topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies. It consists of groups of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable . The tree topologies allow for the expansion of an existing network, and enable schools to configure a network to meet their needs.

CCT1023 Group A (9 August 2009)

As Miss Azura promised in the last lesson, today we'll be given a "pop quiz". Unfortunately she is absent because she falls sick so our quiz is conducted by another lecturer to replace Miss Azura. Anyway i hope that she'll get well soon. ^-^

CCT1023 Group A (9 August 2009)

Ermm....today nothing special, everyone as usual enter class and lesson still goes on. When Miss Azura enter the class, she is wearing a mask. She shows a very good example to us because H1N1 is getting serious in Malaysia. In class, she also mentions about our "pop quiz" which going to be held on next lesson.

CCT1023 Group A (5 August 2009)

Besides searching what is My EG Portal and Rilek Portal, Miss Azura also wanted us to find info bout E-Commerce.

1. B2C
Business-to-consumer e-commerce, or commerce between companies and consumers, involves customers gathering information; purchasing physical goods or information goods and, for information goods, receiving products over an electronic network.
It is the second largest and the earliest form of e-commerce. Its origins can be traced to online retailing (or e-tailing). Thus, the more common B2C business models are the online retailing companies such as Amazon.com, Drugstore.com, Beyond.com, Barnes and Noble and ToysRus. Other B2C examples involving information goods are E-Trade and Travelocity. The more common applications of this type of e-commerce are in the areas of purchasing products and information, and personal finance management, which pertains to the management of personal investments and finances with the use of online banking tools. B2C e-commerce also reduces market entry barriers since the cost of putting up and maintaining a Web site is much cheaper than installing a “brick-and-mortar” structure for a firm. In the case of information goods, B2C e-commerce is even more attractive because it saves firms from factoring in the additional cost of a physical distribution network. Moreover, for countries with a growing and robust Internet population, delivering information goods becomes increasingly feasible.

2. C2C
Consumer-to-consumer e-commerce or C2C is simply commerce between private individuals or consumers. This type of e-commerce is characterized by the growth of electronic marketplaces and online auctions, particularly in vertical industries where firms/businesses can bid for what they want from among multiple suppliers.16 It perhaps has the greatest potential for developing new markets.
This type of e-commerce comes in at least three forms:
(i) auctions facilitated at a portal, such as eBay, which allows online real-time bidding on items being sold in the Web;
(ii) peer-to-peer systems, such as the Napster model (a protocol for sharing files between users used by chat forums similar to IRC) and other file exchange and later money exchange models; and
(iii) classified ads at portal sites such as Excite Classifieds and eWanted (an interactive, online marketplace where buyers and sellers can negotiate and which features “Buyer Leads & Want Ads”).

3. B2B
B2B e-commerce is simply defined as e-commerce between companies. This is the type of e-commerce that deals with relationships between and among businesses. About 80% of e-commerce is of this type, and most experts predict that B2B e-commerce will continue to grow faster than the B2C segment. The B2B market has two primary components: e-frastructure and e-markets. Efrastructure is the architecture of B2B, primarily consisting of the following:
(i) logistics - transportation, warehousing and distribution (e.g., Procter and Gamble);
(ii) application service providers - deployment, hosting and management of packaged software from a central facility (e.g., Oracle and Linkshare);
(iii) outsourcing of functions in the process of e-commerce, such as Web-hosting, security and customer care solutions (e.g., outsourcing providers such as eShare, NetSales, iXL Enterprises and Universal Access);
(iv) auction solutions software for the operation and maintenance of real-time auctions in the Internet (e.g., Moai Technologies and OpenSite Technologies);
(v) content management software for the facilitation of Web site content management and delivery (e.g., Interwoven and ProcureNet); and
(vi) Web-based commerce enablers (e.g., Commerce One, a browser-based, XML-enabled purchasing automation software).
E-markets are simply defined as Web sites where buyers and sellers interact with each other and conduct transactions.
The more common B2B examples and best practice models are IBM, Hewlett Packard (HP), Cisco and Dell. Cisco, for instance, receives over 90% of its product orders over the Internet. Most B2B applications are in the areas of supplier management (especially purchase order processing), inventory management (i.e., managing order-ship-bill cycles), distribution management (especially in the transmission of shipping documents), channel management (i.e., information dissemination on changes in operational conditions), and payment management (e.g., electronic payment systems or EPS).

CCT1023 Group A (5 August 2009)

Unbelieveable!!!! Today's lecture is still Computer Technology! We've been touching this topic for the past 2 lessons! I wonder when we will be learning the next topic....=.= Besides lecture, Miss Azura also asked us to find what is "My EG Portal" and "Rilek Portal".

My EG portal is principally engaged in the business of development and implementation of Electronic Government (E-Government) services and the provision of other related services for the E-Government Initiative as well as investment holding. The E-Government Initiative is a Government programme which focuses on delivering improvements in terms of how the Government operates internally, and how it delivers services to the people. The overall E-Government Initiatives focuses on allowing citizens to retrieve information and perform transactions with various Service Suppliers in a convenient and timely manner by utilizing its Electronic Services (E-Services). The main Service Suppliers that currently employ our E-Government services and solutions are:
i. Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur ("DBKL")
ii. Jabatan Insolvency Malaysia ("JIM")
iii. Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan ("JPJ")
iv. Polis Diraja Malaysia ("PDRM")
v. Tenaga Nasional Berhad ("TNB")
vi. Telekom Malaysia Berhad ("TMB")

Rilek portal is the revolutionary way to perform all your e-government services:
i. Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ)
ii. Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM)
iii. Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TMB)
iv. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)
Besides that, Rilek portal provide easy transactions electronically through various delivery channels and offers JPJ Driving Licenses services, summons payments and inquiries on Kejara points. Their services also include electronic utility bill payment for TNB and Telekom bills.

CCT1023 Group A (2 August 2009)

After one week holiday due to infection of H1N1 in UUM, all classes seems started as usual today. But most of my classmates, including me, feel very tired because most of us jz arrive back UUM early in the morning. Although tired, we still need to attend the class. Hai..... Today's lecture is bout Computer Technology again (continue from last lecture). Miss Azura gives more explainations and details about computer so that we can understand deeper.

Saturday, August 1, 2009

CCT1023 Group A (26 July 2009)

Everyone goes to class as usual in the morning to hand up our individual assignment to Miss Azura. Unfortunately, our assignments appear to have few mistakes and were corrected by our lecturer. Those who has mistakes are required to do correction and pass up on the next day. But I managed to correct my assignment and handed on the same day. I wish Miss Azura will "close one eye" and give us full marks...hahaha...

CCT1023 Group A (22 July 2009)

In today's lecture, Miss Azura taught us bout Technology Computer in class. This topic was non other than learning bout computers (hardware, software, input device, output device, etc....). Besides that, Miss Azura also ask us to find the differences between windows and Apple Mac OS. This is what I found: Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating system and grafical users interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in grafical users interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced previously. At the 2004 IDC Directions conference, it was stated that Windows had approximately 90% of the client operating system market. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows Vista; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008. Vista's successor, Windows 7 (currently at release to manufacturing), is scheduled to be released on October 22, 2009. Mac OS is the trademarked name for a series of grafical users interface-based operating systems by Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) for their Macintosh line of computer systems. The Macintosh user experience is credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. The original form of what Apple would later name the "Mac OS" was the integral and unnamed system software first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh, usually referred to simply as the System software. It was a trimmed-down version of the operating system underpinning Apple's earlier Lisa product.

Time pass very fast....And now everyone is busy with assignment as the dateline to hand up our journal summary is THIS WEEK!!! I can't wait to finish up my assignment a.s.a.p so I don't have to worry so much and can relax a bit. Hahaha... Anyway, Miss Azura began our class by entering chapter 2, which is Revolution of Communication Technology. Nothing special though, explaining and explaining and explaining is what our Miss Azura did.....talk bout when and how communication technology began and their developments....bla bla bla... Again we'll be facing those "history" names (names of inventors) which i can't remember all cz too difficult to pronouns and vr loooong...-.-" but to think again, it's quite fun bout this topic cz I can see that we(human) have been developing from time to time by inventing a lotz of technology stuff. I wish that new inventors able create better and cooler technologies in future....^^

CCT1023 Group A (15 July 2009)

Alright!! Miss Azura started our very first chapter in classroom which is the introduction of Communication Technology. In this chapter, we learn bout what is Communication Technology and Miss Azura done a wonderful job in explaining to us. Besides that, we're told to discuss the weaknesses of communication technologies with our friends in the class that includes printed media and electronic media. Finally before the class dismiss, Miss Azura showed us few slide shows about optical illusions and we really enjoyed ourselves during that moment as like the class turned lively again. -^^-

CCT1023 Group A (12 July 2009)

As usual, our lecturer, Miss Azura entered the lecture room and today's class objective is to discuss about our this semester's assignments. I would actually started the class with amaze and glad but after Miss Azura mention the word "assignment", I began to feel err bored + unwilling + stressfull... Sorry Miss Azura... (^-^) Our assignments consist of 2 parts, which is individual and group. For individual, we entitled to create a blog (which I'm using now here), summerize a journal and do a so called "mini research" on the latest communication development. For the group assignment, we need to find one new technology product not to discuss bout its beneficial, but to critisize it. After finish explaining the assignments, Miss Azura told us to collect few infos bout our classmates.
