PARK WITH STYLE

Women is always associated with slow driving and lack of style to park their car. I do not experience one since I can't drive :). It is quite frightening to those who are still unsure about how to park their car while others are waiting for them at the back. Longer queue at the back leads to more nervousness. This problem make women especially, park their car at more spacious area and less people

For entrepreneur, this problems becomes an opportunity for them to create something for the solution and getting profit over it.  That is why BMW, a very well known car model came out with the latest technology for parking by using remote control. How cool, right? 

This technology allows driver to park their BMW 7 Series via remote control. Drivers can move the car forward into, reversing out at tight parking space or garage from outside the car. It means that, differ from traditional parking ways where the driver must be in the car, this technology that comes with BMW 7 Series make it something different to the owner, enable them to park with style. The driver activates the remote-controlled parking function from outside the vehicle via the BMW display key. Fantastic. No wonder my MIS's lecturer is so into it. Only now I can feel the feeling.

Lets the pictures do the talking. By the way, please get one for yourself. (If only I could).

THE BANK NOTE TECHNOLOGY

Not even once in my lifetime imagine that people are able to counterfeit money. Nowadays, in a very challenging world, everything is possible to happen. People are becoming more intelligent and innovative. Some use it for good things and the other misused it. Its a choice. Knowing that there is a possibility of counterfeiting, all country in the world are thoroughly protecting the security of the banknotes and coins. In this case, I am focusing on the bank notes technology in terms of the security characteristic that it possessed.  

For the purpose of this issue, I am sharing to all readers on Toppan's OVDs, a company that leading the world in print technology and its application.  When talking about banknotes security, we, as a common citizen will think that it is very hard to believe it can be counterfeited. But for those outside who are trying to take advantage on their 'skills' and 'expertise', they will keep trying until they can counterfeit one. This company serves 21 countries around the world (name are not made available) and the technology that they have has been used in documents that require the highest security such as in banknotes and passports. The durability and counterfeit resistance are as well trusted around the world. Below are some of the major security features that Toppan offers:

  1. OVDs Crystagrams
Toppan was one of the first security printers that use e-beams (write more than 1,000 fringe patterns per millimeter) to create the hologram master shim. It produce highly detailed, high resolution images in the master shim using this technique.

ALCOBLOW AND ALCOMETER

For those who work with related authority such as Police Department or other regulatory body, Lion Alcoblow and Alcometer is not an alien. These two tools are actually their good friend that helps them in performing their job effectively. Using state of the art technology, Alcoblow acts by checking or examining either there is an element of alcohol in the body. The Lion Platinum fuel that embedded in the tools makes it highly sensitive only to alcohol. This tool used a very advance technology whereby it gives result within seconds. During raid, it is very useful for the Authority Body especially to check all suspected person in a short time. The suspected person need to blows into the sampling cone until a sample is taken by the instrument for alcohol analysis. A beep tone will indicate whether the sample contained alcohol.

While Alcoblow only detect those who having alcohol in their body, Alcometer helps in measuring the exact level or reading on the dose of alcohol contained. The authority body can know if the suspected person reached or exceed certain allowable level of alcohol consumption and can charged them accordingly.

These two are very good combination to ensure smooth operation in most of the raid performed by Authority Body.

HAVING PROBLEM IN FINDING OLD GRAVE? HERE IS THE SOLUTION

E-Pusara is a system to track grave and managed by Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (JAWI) using a concept of 'Grave in a Garden' or in Arabic word means Raudhatul Sakinah. This innovation project has been established in order to improve the old way of cemetery management. 

As to date, there are eight Islamic Cemetery that using this system. It includes Tanah Perkuburan Bukit Kiara, Tanah Perkuburan KL-Karak, Tanah Perkuburan Alam Damai, Tanah Perkuburan Datuk Keramat, Tanah Perkuburan Taman Sri Sinar, Tanah Perkuburan Sungai Penchala, Tanah Perkuburan Titiwangsa and Tanah Perkuburan Ibukota.

Out of eight Islamic Cemetery as mentioned above, Tanah Perkuburan Islam KL-Karak and Tanah Perkuburan Islam Bukit Kiara has been made as Pilot Project since these two cemetery already have a lot grave system and systematic reference number.  

Before using e-pusara system, all Islamic cemetery in Malaysia are using old way whereby they need to remember the location of the deceased. It creates problems when the landmark (small stone or tree has been removed) by the cemetery's management. At the same time, a problem also arise when they are trying to locate old grave of their ancestor.

After the implementation of e-pusara, the process of locating and tracking graveyard become effective and very efficient. A nice landscape and beautiful surrounding make visitors feel comfortable when they visit the graveyard.
