Different Types of Keyboards

Standard
Standard alphanumeric keyboards have keys that are on three-quarter inch centers
(0.750 inches, 19.05 mm), and have a key travel of at least 0.150 inches (3.81 mm).
Desktop computer keyboards, such as the 101-key US traditional keyboards or the
104-key Windows keyboards, include alphabetic characters, punctuation symbols,
numbers and a variety of function keys.

Laptop-size
Keyboards on laptops and notebook computers usually have a shorter travel
distance for the keystroke, shorter over travel distance, and a reduced set of keys.
They may not have a numerical keypad, and the function keys may be placed in
locations that differ from their placement on a standard, full-sized keyboard. The
switch mechanism for a laptop keyboard is more likely to be a scissor switch than a
rubber dome; this is opposite the trend for full-size keyboards.

Flexible keyboards

Flexible keyboards is a junction between normal type and laptop type keyboards,
normal from the full arrangement of keys, and laptop from the sort key distance,
additionally the flexibility it allows the user to fold/roll the keyboard for better
storage / transfer, however for typing, the keyboard must be resting on a hard
surface. The most flexible keyboards in
market are made from silicone, this
material makes it water and dust proof, a
very pleasant feature especially in
hospitals where keyboards are subjected to
frequent washing. For connection with the
computer, the keyboards having USB cable
and the support of operating systems reach
far back as the Windows 2000.

Handheld
Handheld ergonomic keyboards are designed to be held like a game controller, and
can be used as such, instead of laid out flat on top of a table surface. Typically
handheld keyboards hold all the alphanumeric keys and symbols that a standard
keyboard would have, yet only be accessed by pressing two sets of keys at once;
one acting as a function key similar to a 'Shift' key
that would allow for capital letters on a standard
keyboard. Handheld keyboards allow the user the
ability to move around a room or to lean back on a
chair while also being able to type in front or away
from the computer. Some variations of handheld
ergonomic keyboards also include a trackball mouse
that allow mouse movement and typing included in
one handheld device.

Thumb-sized
Smaller external keyboards have been introduced for devices without a built-in
keyboard, such as PDAs, and smartphones. Small
keyboards are also useful where there is a limited
workspace.
A thumb keyboard (thumb board) is used in some
personal digital assistants such as the Palm Treo and
BlackBerry and some Ultra-Mobile PCs such as the
OQO.

Chorded
While other keyboards generally associate one action with each key, chorded
keyboards associate actions with combinations of key presses. Since there are many
combinations available, chorded keyboards can effectively produce more actions on
a board with fewer keys. Court reporters' stenotype machines use chorded
keyboards to enable them to enter text much faster by typing a syllable with each
stroke instead of one letter at a time. The fastest typists (as of 2007) use a
stenograph, a kind of chorded keyboard
used by most court reporters and closedcaption
reporters.
Some
chorded
keyboards are also made for use in
situations where fewer keys are preferable,
such as on devices that can be used with
only one hand, and on small mobile
devices that don't have room for larger
keyboards. Chorded keyboards are less
desirable in many cases because it usually
takes practice and memorization of the
combinations to become proficient.

Software
Software keyboards or on-screen keyboards often take the form of computer
programs that display an image of a keyboard on the screen. Another input device
such as a mouse or a touchscreen can be used to operate each virtual key to enter
text. Software keyboards have become very popular in touchscreen enabled cell
phones, due to the additional cost and space requirements of other types of
hardware keyboards. Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and some varieties of Linux
include on-screen keyboards that can be controlled with the mouse. In software
keyboards, the mouse has to be maneuvered onto the on-screen letters given by the
software. On the click of a letter, the software writes the respective letter on the
respective spot.

Projection (as by laser)

Projection keyboards project an image of keys, usually with a laser, onto a flat
surface. The device then uses a camera or infrared sensor to "watch" where the
user's fingers move, and will count a key as being
pressed when it "sees" the user's finger touch the
projected image. Projection keyboards can simulate
a
full size keyboard from a very small projector.
Because the "keys" are simply projected images,
they cannot be felt when pressed. Users of projected
keyboards often experience increased discomfort in
their fingertips because of the lack of "give" when
typing. A flat, non-reflective surface is also required
for the keys to be projected. Most projection
keyboards are made for use with PDAs and smartphones due to their small form
factor.

Webcam
A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to or
through a computer to computer network. When "captured" by the computer, the
video stream may be saved, viewed or sent on to other networks via systems such as
the internet, and email as an attachment. When sent to a
remote location, the video stream may be saved, viewed
or on sent there. Unlike an IP camera (which connects
using Ethernet or Wi-Fi), a webcam is generally
connected by a USB cable, or similar cable, or built into
computer hardware, such as laptops.
Explanation: A webcam is a device when attached to a
computer can capture photos record, send videos or can
be used for live chatting with a person sitting far away.

IP camera

An Internet protocol camera, or IP camera, is a type of digital video camera

commonly employed for surveillance, and which, unlike analog closed circuit
television (CCTV) cameras, can send and receive data via a computer network and
the Internet. Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP camera"
or "netcam" is usually applied only to those used for
surveillance. The first centralized IP camera was Axis
Neteye 200, released in 1996 by Axis Communications.
Explanation: IP Camera is a device mainly used for
surveillance.

TYPES OF IP CAMERAS
Fixed
Fixed and cube IP cameras are a good choice for monitoring a very specific area.
The direction these cameras are pointing is typically very clearly visible, and once
the cameras location is set, it will stay in that
position. Fixed cameras are also available in dome
models, where a fixed camera is installed inside a
dome. This set up is typically small and discreet,
providing unobtrusive surveillance.

Day/Night
With day/night cameras, continuous 24-hour surveillance is possible. These IP
cameras can produce images in lowlight and even in complete darkness using near
infrared (IR) light, which is undetectable to the human eye. Some day/night IP
camera models have built-in IR illuminators that provide illumination to enhance
the cameras night video capabilities. During the day the cameras produce full color
images; at night the cameras images are in black and white.

Wireless
Wireless cameras are one of the most flexible varieties of IP
cameras. The cameras connect to a network
without using wires, which gives you the freedom to place cameras
wherever security is needed. Any camera can be made wireless with the
addition of an external antenna. For more information, contact one of
the CCTVSystems.com experts.

Indoor Cameras
Indoor cameras are ideally suited for use in residential, office, and retail
environments. Indoor cameras are available in a large range of
models including ones with vandal-resistant housing, day/night
functionality, PTZ, tamper detection and more.

Outdoor Cameras
Outdoor cameras are specially designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The
cameras are typically encased in IP66 or IP67-rated
weatherproof housing that protects against wind,
moisture, dust, and other hazards. Many outdoor IP
cameras are also equipped with day/night functionality
for around the clock security.

PTZ

With PTZ IP cameras, camera operators have a larger range of controls available to
monitor wider areas and zero in on specific individuals, objects
or activities. PTZ cameras allow users to pan, tilt, and zoom
with either manual or automatic controls.

Some recent products launched by Apple.

iPhone 6S
The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus (marketed with a stylized lowercase "s"
as iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus) are smartphones designed and marketed
by Apple Inc. The devices are part of the iPhone series and were
announced on September 9, 2015. The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
jointly serve as successors to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are evolutions over their respective
predecessor, featuring improved hardware specifications, including 3D
Toucha force-sensitive touchscreen which is a new leap in touchscreen
technology after the multitouch (also introduced to consumers by Apple in
its first iPhone) , upgraded rear-facing and front-facing cameras, a faster
processor, a new chassis made of a stronger alloy of aluminum, second
generation Touch ID, improved LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity, and a new
rose gold finish in addition to the space gray, silver, and gold finishes

found on the previous models, while maintaining an identical design. The

devices ship with iOS 9.
The hardware design of iPhone 6S is nearly identical to that of iPhone 6,
although the chassis is now made of a stronger aluminum first used by the
Apple Watch Sport to improve its rigidity. It will be available in gold,
silver, space grey, and new for the 6S, rose gold-color finishes. iPhone 6S
is powered by the Apple A9 system on a chip, which the company stated is
up to 70% faster than Apple A8, and has up to 90% better graphics
performance. iPhone 6S has 2 GB of RAM, more than any previous
iPhone, and also supports LTE Advanced. Apple rates iPhone 6S and 6S
Plus as having the same average battery life as their respective
predecessors, although the capacities of their batteries are slightly lower.
Their displays are the same sizes as those of the iPhone 6, coming in 4.7inch 750p and 5.5-inch 1080p (Plus) sizes. iPhone 6S features technology
known as 3D Touch; sensors are embedded on the screen's backlight layer
that measure the firmness of the user's touch input by the distance between
it and the glass, allowing the device to distinguish between normal and
more forceful touches. 3D Touch is combined with the Taptic Engine
vibrator to provide associated haptic feedback. Although it is similar, this
is distinct from the Force Touch technology used on the Apple Watch and
MacBook, as it is more sensitive and can recognize more levels of touch
pressure than Force Touch. Due to the hardware needed to implement 3D
Touch, the iPhone 6S is heavier than its predecessor.
iPhone 6S features a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, upgraded from the
8-megapixel unit on previous models, as well as a 5-megapixel frontfacing camera. It can also record 4K video, as well as 1080p video at 120
frames per second.

iPad Pro
iPad Pro is an upcoming tablet computer designed, developed, and
marketed by Apple Inc. Announced on September 9, 2015, the tablet
features a larger 12.9-inch screen than that found in other iPad models.
Three configurations are available: Wi-Fi-only models with 32 GB or 128
GB of storage space, and a 128 GB model with cellular connectivity.
iPad Pro includes the A9X chip and the M9 motion co-processor. A
number of features are carried over from its parent model, the iPad, such
as Touch ID and the Retina Display. New features include a smart
connector for a keyboard and four stereo speakers located in pairs on top
and bottom of the device. Its screen is a 12.9" 2732-by-2048 retina display
at 264 pixels per inch (ppi) and features a variable refresh rate, a first for
Apple.

Apple Pencil
Apple Pencil is a digital stylus, an input device, designed by Apple Inc. to
work exclusively with the iPad Pro tablet computer. Thus, it will not work
with any Apple products released before Fall 2015. Apple Pencil was
announced on September 9, 2015 and will be released in November 2015.
Apple Pencil features pressure sensitivity and angle detection. Apple
Pencil is a Bluetooth device that can communicate simultaneously with the
screen and the system underneath it. Apple Pencil detects force, allowing,
for example, darker or lighter strokes in a drawing app depending on how
hard the user presses. The reduction of latency allows smooth drawing
while using Apple Pencil. iPad Pro also allows simultaneous use of Apple
Pencil and one's fingers, while rejecting input from the user's palm. One
end of the Apple Pencil has a removable cap. Underneath this cap is a
male Lightning connector, which allows the Pencil's battery to be
recharged.
Apple Pencil is designed for the creative work done by professional artists.
It makes electronic drawing on iPad Pro more feasible. However,
multitouch finger input is still the primary input mechanism for iPad Pro.
During the September 2015 Apple Event, Apple demonstrated drawing in
the Adobe Creative Suite of mobile apps and document annotation in
Microsoft Office apps with Apple Pencil.
