Motorists in Malaysia are starting to rely on GPS navigation systems. But these systems occasionally fail in underground car parks or inside tunnels. Here how Assisted GPS comes to the rescue. Traditional GPS relies on line-of-sight with orbiting satellites. But in a city this may not always be possible. So when you try to wedge between two skyscrapers, or drive inside tunnels on the expressway, you’ll notice that the satellite signal weakens, and your GPS unit is unresponsive or dies completely.

New GPS devices and cell phones support a feature called Assisted GPS [ to minimize disruption in navigation services. A-l complements traditional GPS and relies heavily on the grid of cell communication towers to compute your exact location. So when the satellite is momentarily out of reach, A-GPS takes over.

In this article we’ll explain how a cell phone uses the A-GPS feature. Some phones use three different systems to determine its location: GPS, A-GPS, and Wi-Fl hotspots. Theoretically, a device could use any of these navigation systems independently, without relying on the other two. Of course, you get accurate and faster results when using complementing navigation systems such as GPS with A-GPS.

The Assistance Server is the key component in an A-GPS system. The server [ is set up by the carrier) communicates with the cellular network. It receives your location from the cellular network and relays it to your phone. The cellular towers and base stations also have GPS receivers and communicate with the satellites. So the assistance server also relays this information to the GPS receiver in your phone. Your phone communicates with the Assistance server via its GPRS connection.

One who uses A-GPS enjoys the following benefits. When he switches on the phone, it takes a shorter time to first fix with the satellite. That means it gets the orbit and clock data from the satellites quicker. Secondly, less processing is required from the OPS receiver, thus saving battery life. Of course, the biggest advantage is location information indoors.

If you want to try out one of this GPS, here’s where you can get it.

When taking close-up pictures of a subject’s face, zooming in and focusing reveals details and flaws which the subject of the photograph might not want to be known.You naturally do not want to disappoint anyone with your pictures— especially the person whose portrait it is. There are several points that you should keep in mind before and while photographing.Makeup does a great lob in covering up flaws, since a concealer efficiently covers up coarse or porous skin. You can correct unpleasant shiny patches which predominantly reflect with directly flashing light with the help of cosmetic powder which can always be applied during the photo shoot.

The next tip is to pay attention to the arrangement of lights—that alone can optimize or ruin the skin in the picture. Avoid a harsh side light like the rays of the noon sun at all costs. It mercilessly chisels out every tiny irregularity, casts razor-sharp borders, and creates harsh contrasts. The rule of thumb is no harsh lights. It is preferable to photograph the model in the shade, even though colors might not seem very bright at first glance. Diffused light flatters the skin and makes it appear smooth.

In the shade, you might have to work with lamps in order to attain the required brightness. Place lights in such a way that they light up the subject from the front, as far as possible. A glancing light would accentuate imperfections of the skin—and that is precisely what you want to avoid. You can bring out highlights in the eyes with a direct, but weak flash.

You took out your camera, focused, and clicked a photograph without checking the settings. Unfortunately, the lifeless picture you see later on your PC shows that the camera had been manually set for a different type of light situation.

THE PROBLEM: A member of the CHIP photo team once captured the beautiful ambience of clouds in the sky with the help of a wide-angle lens. But the picture was completely underexposed causing the colors to be lifeless. Another problem was that due to the extreme setting of the lens, the horizon looked bent out of shape.

PHOTOGRAPH DIFFERENTLY:

It’s not just faulty manual settings that produce such results—even some fully automatic cameras have a dull light problems with subjects of this type. The best thing would be to try out several options. For landscape shots, the AV mode ‘aperture priority’ is suitable. Set a high aperture value in order to obtain a high depth of field. If the exposure of the camera is short, ensure a longer exposure time for a result like the second picture.

All SLR cameras and many compact models with a manual mode offer suitable setting options. Since assessing the picture on the camera display is naturally difficult due to the surrounding light, the best thing to do is to take plenty of pictures of the same subject with different parameters. Many devices can do that automatically using an apertur range.

PHOTO OPTIMIZATION ON THE PC:

Weak spots in a picture can be removed on the PC. Using ‘Image I Adjustments I Levels’ in Photoshop, you can identify whether the photo is underexposed—in the example at hand, the tonal value is accumulated in the left half of the picture. Drag the white regulator from the right edge to the middle—spreading the tone like this considerably brightens the picture. At the same time, it enhances the colors. However, use caution in doing this. In case of intense brightening, even the hues shift, which can sometimes be disturbing.

You can avoid this by selecting ‘Luminance’ as the filling method in the layer palette. In order to strengthen the selected individual colors, use the ‘Image I Adjustments I Selective color’ tool. In our example here, an increase in the saturation for yellow, green and blue hues makes a great difference. In order to make the picture crisp, sharpen it with ‘Filter I Sharpen I Unsharp mask’.

For quite some time now, the program has not been functioning when opened— its button appears in the taskbar, but nothing else works. What is wrong?

Programs like Photo Editor write the data for size and position of the program window in the tab while closing. By doing so, the application should appear exactly as it did while closing, the next time you open it. If false values are entered in the tab for this data after a program crash or by Windows for example, it can lead to the described effects. In this case, you have to delete the incorrect data so that the application can be seen on screen again. We will need to correct the values in the Registry editor, which is accessible from‘Start I Run I regedit’.

Next, open the key ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sofware\ Microsoft\Photo Editor\3.O\Microsoft Photo Editor’ in the Registry editor. The specification ‘3.0’ describes the version and may be different on your system. When you open the key, delete the entry ‘InitialPosition’ in the right side of the window.

After that, close the tab and restart Photo Editor. The program window should now appear and respond as usual. While closing Photo Editor, it saves a new set of specifications for the size and position of its window on your desktop.
