Smart Apparel



As technology is evolving at an unbelievable pace, we are not far seeing clothes getting connect to our tech Eco system. Major step has been already taken by some clothing companies and collaborating with tech companies. 

One of the great examples is of Alphabet's Google and Levi Strauss in May 2015 started the concept of making a x-jacket which get connect to the phone provide some necessary features in the jacket itself.

"I think we are going to see a lot of partnerships like that, and that's what is going to push the market forward," he said. "This combination of design and technology is a really important part of the story."

Other smart apparel which are been introduced are the self-tying shoes, clothes showing direction, measuring pulse rate using smart fibre, changing colour in real time.


Earlier in 2017, wearable technology pioneer Polar introduced the Polar Team Pro Shirt, which features heart-rate capture points incorporated into the fabric and a small sensor pod that tracks speed, distance, and acceleration. All data is captured in real time and transmits wirelessly to a mobile device via a special app. Another activewear producer, Athos, has developed shirts and shorts that record muscle activity, calorie burn, and other biometrics.

What's the future of smart apparel?/Will people buy smart clothes?

For mass adoption to occur, consumers will have to overcome a few anxieties. For one, battery-powered clothes, like phones, will carry the risk of exploding. But given the ubiquity of smartphones, wearables, and other personal gadgets, consumers have shown they can live with that risk.

"Over the next few years it will be more experimental, getting consumers comfortable with the idea of having smart apparel," Clinton said. "There's always a bridge where you have to integrate the consumer into the new world. But I think once people see the benefits of the clothes, the demand for them will be pretty significant."

TCP Segment

A TCP segment is made up of a TCP header and a data section. Source Port :  A source port is a high numbered port chosen from a special section of ports known as ephemeral ports. A source port is needed so that when the web server replies, the computer making the original request can send this data to the program that was actually requesting it. It is in this way that when it web server responds to your requests to view a web page that this response gets received by your web browser and not your word processor. Destination Port : port on which the client in request the data( The destination port is the port of the service the traffic is intended for ) Sequence Number :This is a 32-bit number that's used to keep track of where in a sequence of TCP segments this one is expected to be.There are limits to the total size of what we send across the wire. In Ethernet frame, it's usually limited in size to 1,518 bytes, but we usually need to send way more data than that. At the transp...

Troubleshooting and debugging

Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, analyzing, and solving problems.  Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and removing bugs in a system. We sometimes use troubleshooting and debugging interchangeably.  But generally, we say troubleshooting when we're fixing problems in the system running the application, and debugging when we're fixing the bugs in the actual code of the application. Debuggers let us follow the code line by line, inspect changes in variable assignments, interrupt the program when a specific condition is met, and more. System calls are the calls that the programs running on our computer make to the running kernel.   A reproduction case is a way to verify if the problem is present or not. Where to check for log file in OS? On Linux , you'd read system logs like /var/log/syslog and user-specific logs like the .xsession-errors file located in the user's home directory. On MacOs , on top of the system logs, you'd go through...
