A seven-segment display (SSD) is a widely used electronic display device for displaying decimal numbers from 0 to 9. They are most commonly used in electronic devices like digital clocks, timers and calculators to display numeric information. As its name indicates, it is made of seven different illuminating segments which are arranged in such a way that it can form the…
GPS is a navigation technology which, by use of satellites, tells the precise information about a location. Basically a GPS system consists of group of satellites and well developed tools such as receiver. The system, however, should comprise at least four satellites. Each satellite and the receiver are equipped with stable atomic clock. The satellite clocks are…
